ZCHS graduate has successful Miss Indiana week

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Olivia Broadwater had another memorable showing at the Miss Indiana competition.

The 2020 Zionsville Community High School graduate was named Miss ACHIEVEMENT Indiana first runner-up June 18 at the STAR Bank Performing Arts Center in Zionsville. She was the second runner-up in the 2021 Miss Indiana competition.

She was the first runner-up in the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen in 2019.

“The best part of the competition for me was getting to earn awards and scholarships to go towards funding my education,” Broadwater said.

“Miss America is the largest scholarship provider for women, and I am so grateful to have opportunities like this which allow me to pursue my passions. In my group, I won the prelim talent and red carpet awards. I also won overall interview out of all the Miss contestants.”

She earned more than $4,000 in scholarship money.

Broadwater sang “Gimme Gimme” from the musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” The competition gave Broadwater an opportunity to share her social impact initiative of Singing for Smiles.

EXCEPTIONAL CARE. SIMPLY DELIVERED.

“I always enjoy any chance I have to talk about Singing for Smiles and advocate for music therapy for those with Alzheimer’s,” she said. “I was chosen as a Joy of Life Scholarship finalist, which was based off of my social impact initiative. This gave me the opportunity to interview with a panel of judges in an open-to-the-public interview about Singing for Smiles. I am so grateful I had this opportunity to speak about my platform, why it is important, and share how passionate I am about it.”

The occasion marked the first time Broadwater spent the week at Butler University during the competition.

“The best part of spending the week at Butler was getting closer to my Miss Indiana friends and making even more friendships throughout the week,” she said. “It truly felt like a complete experience when we spent our whole week together and I gained a stronger appreciation for my (Miss America Organization) family.”

Broadwater said she is trying to decide if she will compete again and if it will work with her future plans.

“But I for sure know that I will always support the Miss America Organization and be so grateful for all I have gained from this amazing experience,” she said.

Humane Society receives first national grant

By Will Riddell news@currentzionsville.com The Humane Society for Boone County received a $20,000 grant June 21 from Petco Love. It is the shelter’s first DONATION national grant, according to President Amy Rader.

Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger and healthier, according to the HSforBC. Rader said the HSforBC will use the grant to help fund renovations at the shelter, specifically for an area that will benefit cats.

Rader and Executive Director Susan Austin have dubbed the future space “the catio.”

Before housing the local Humane Society, Rader said the building was a veterinary clinic. “(The cat space) will be a great place (where) we can have cats that can free roam in that room, sit in windows (and) look outside,” Rader said. “The public can

come in and interact with (the cats) in a more home-like setting, and everybody (can) relax and enjoy the views out around (the shelter).”

Rader said a major benefit of the new space is that it will allow individual adopters to spend quality time with the cats in an environment that the animals are comfortable in. She said the room will have plenty of toys and that the people considering adoption will be able to get a good feel for a cat’s personality.

Engledow Group celebrates 90 years of growth

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com They’re nearly impossible to miss.

A fleet of lime-green trucks takes Engledow Group employees MILESTONE to their clients. Projects range from landscaping along Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis to indoor plants at shopping centers to special events just about anywhere in central Indiana.

Carmel resident Ed Engledow was president of Engledow when the company decided in the late 1970s to go with the “bilious” green, a choice not popular with everyone at the time, and he said the bold choice was designed to set the company apart from its competitors. It’s not shying away from exploring new and different opportunities that has helped the Carmel-based business reach its 90th anniversary, and what its leaders expect will carry it into the future.

“The organization’s goal is not to become a 100-year-old company,” Ed said. “The organization’s goal is to continue to do what we have done and have the new management and new folks that are in charge go ahead

and create bigger dreams and bigger accomplishments through what they’re doing now. If (reaching 100 years) arrives, we’d be very proud of it, but that’s not our prime goal.”

Reaching 90 years is an accomplishment for any company, but even more so for one that nearly closed decades ago.

GROWING THE COMPANY B.T. Engledow, a Whitestown High School dropout, purchased a used truck for $50 in 1932 and launched Engledow Tree and Landscape Service. Three years later, he grew the business and opened Engledow Seed Store at 38th and Illinois streets in

Indianapolis.

The business grew quickly in its first decade and got a boost in 1937 when the Eagle Crest Forest Preserve, now known as Eagle Creek Park, became a client. The site was primarily farmland in the 1930s, and many of the trees there today were planted by Engledow.

Business nearly came to a halt during World War II, and around the same time B.T. battled tuberculosis, making it more difficult to work. He died in 1950 at age 42, and his wife, Carrie, who hadn’t been involved in the business previously, barely kept it alive until the couple’s oldest son, Jack Engledow, finished college and U.S. Army service in 1956.

“She was our hero,” Jack said. “She saved the company.”

Jack, a Carmel resident, served as president until 1968, when he said he went “middle-age crazy in a positive way” and became a college professor. At that time, his brother, Ed, became president, a role he would hold until 2002.

During Ed’s tenure, Engledow experienced tremendous growth, adding interior plant services and event planning and purchasing

McNamara florists, which it owned for approximately 10 years before selling the division to Marsh. The company provided plants and flowers for the Pan Am Games, which Indianapolis hosted in 1987.

“My advantage was hitting Indianapolis at a time when it was beginning to grow,” Ed said.

After Ed stepped down as president, Jack’s son, Jim Engledow, assumed the role.

He has overseen the company through acquisitions of Irrigation Specialist and Litchfield Landscape and branch additions.

‘WE’VE EARNED OUR KEEP’ Although much has changed in 90 years, some core values at Engledow have remained the same, such as integrity, honesty and listening to the client, Jack said. The company also has strived to hire the right employees.

“We’ve always had good people. If you look around this organization, a lot of people really know what they’re doing and they’re proud of what they do,” Jack said. “A few of them were named Engledow, but an awful lot of them were not.”

STAYING THE COURSE

Camaraderie keeps Penny Putters Ladies Golf League going for 50 years

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Cathy Daugherty figures there is a good reason why the Penny Putters Ladies Golf League is celebrating its 50th year in 2022.

“We have some really good golfers, and we have some novice golfers, and everyone is kind to everyone,” Daugherty said. “It doesn’t matter what your ability is, everyone is welcome with open arms. I think that is the secret to the league, otherwise we wouldn’t have 85 members.”

The nine-hole league returned to play at Zionsville Golf Course in June. The course needed work, so the Golf Club of Indiana allowed league members to play on its course while the Zionsville course was being worked on.

Members write their names on a slip of paper. They then put a penny in for each putt they make during a round.

“So, if you have 18 putts, you are supposed to put in 18 cents,” Daugherty said. “For each week, there is a drawing.

We do all the drawings at the end of the month. That’s where the Penny Putters name came from.”

Daugherty began golfing after retiring as a Zionsville Pleasant View Elementary School teacher.

Daugherty said the average number of participants during outings is usually 50, with the number increasing to

60 for the end-of-the-month scramble.

In the last week in July each year, there is a charity scramble. The fundraisers have supported research for breast cancer, other forms of cancer and juvenile diabetes.

“Last year, we generated $4,000 for juvenile diabetes (research),” Daugherty said. “Sometimes, it’s donated by members.”

Sometimes, the member leading the fundraiser holds silent auctions and solicits donations from businesses.

Prevail of Central Indiana is the charity for July.

Kathy Rieke, treasurer of the league, is in her second year playing. She started a year after retiring as assistant superintendent of the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township.

“It’s the camaraderie and meeting people that you live close to that you wouldn’t meet otherwise, then regular golf play that’s all set up for you. You can’t beat that,” Rieke said. “I knew about it 20 years ago because a neighbor did it, but work kept me from doing it. When I retired, there was a waiting list. Fortunately for me, a year later they expanded.”

Daugherty said a high percentage of former teachers are in the league.

Rieke said some women have been able to play while working if they have flexible schedules to take Wednesday mornings off.

The league typically runs from May to September.

LONG-SERVING MEMEBER The age range of members is from approximately 50 to 94-year-old Gloria Stanek, the oldest member.

“The women in the league are nice people,” Stanek said. “They’re kind to one another and that’s why we enjoy it so much, I think.”

Stanek, a Zionsville resident, said she doesn’t like to play on hot and humid days.

“If you play with someone else from the league, you can go on a different day,” she said.

Stanek moved from Ft. Wayne to Indianapolis several years ago. Her four children all attended Warren Central High School. Stanek, who moved to Zionsville approximately 30 years ago, began playing golf after retiring as a secretary for the Indiana High School Athletic Association.

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.

Editor, I don’t usually comment about things that I read, but (Terry Anker’s June 21 essay) “False Alarms” commentary struck a chord.

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 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.

Curb nighttime snacking — Latenight munchies can sabotage your efforts to lose weight, or even to remain healthy. To help prevent the evening snack urges, try eating a high-protein dinner. Avoid high-carb foods like pasta and potatoes late in the day. They stimulate insulin production and can make you feel hungry two hours later.

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).”

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.

Ex-Carmel resident’s play at District Theatre editorial@youarecurrent.com Playwright Shar Steiman’s “Bed Play” has three remaining performances at The District Theatre, 627 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis.

Steiman, a 2013 University High School graduate, grew up in Carmel. Steiman now lives in Denver. The play, which opened July 1, is directed and produced by Ty Stover.

Stover is the owner of StageQuest Indy, which is presenting the play.

The play revolves around one main prop: a bed. It follows the intimate lives of four queer individuals learning how to navigate sex, dating and friendships. The play moves through scenes and soliloquies all in slam poetry and rhyme.

Un5gettable set for Feinstein’s

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.

CONCERTS 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.

Microbrewers festival set

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After a two-year hiatus, the Indiana Microbrewers Festival will return for its 25th anniversary.

BEER The event, a fundraiser for the Brewers of Indiana Guild, is set for 1 to 6 p.m. July 23 at Military Park at White River State Park in Indianapolis.

“The Indiana Microbrewers Festival is the Guild’s original festival and has an outstanding following of local craft beer lovers from across the state,” said Julia Whitson, the executive director of the Brewers of Indiana Guild. “The atmosphere is different from other beer-focused festivals as you’ll find 70-plus breweries from all over the state, a considerable number more than a lot of festivals you’ll find in other cities and towns.

“It’s also unique in that participants are all Indiana-based and are all active members of the Guild.”

Whitson said exclusive, special-edition beer releases will take place during the event.

“Customers will be able to snag a six-

pack that includes a variety of styles from six different Guild member breweries,” Whitson said.

Whitson said she started with the Guild in December 2021 just in time for planning for Winterfest, which took place in February. Whitson said Winterfest was a huge success for the Guild.

“It was our first festival back since early 2020 and our followers were eager to get back together in person,” she said. “We loved that everyone in attendance was just so pleasant, excited to be back among friends in the craft beer community and welcoming to one another.”

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 pleas-

ant 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 founded the Franciscans, was born there in about A.D. 1181. The churches in Assisi associated with Francis, collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, include the seventh-largest church in the world. Next week, we will visit those churches and learn more about St. Francis.
