Town council denies funds for community center planning, displeasing mayor

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com During its Aug. 16 meeting, the Zionsville Town Council continued discussions to pursue initial steps toward securFUNDS ing a future park while denying funds to begin the process of building a community center. The latter decision drew criticism from Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron.

Council members moved to continue discussions on a $150,000 additional apStyron propriation to fund master planning and conceptual planning at Carpenter Nature Preserve, which was formerly Wolf Run Golf Club. The funds would be used to determine if the town would be able to realize the mayor’s goal of transforming the nature preserve into a public park.

Zionsville residents Jim and Nancy Carpenter bought the former golf club and developed it into a nature preserve. In an informal agreement, the Carpenters purchased the land in February for $5.5 million and intend to one day sell it to the town at a discounted price — approximately $4 million, the couple said in June — so that the town can repurpose it as a public park. The councilors decided to wait until the next meeting to vote on the additional appropriation so that all of the councilors could tour the property prior to voting.

“The hope is to begin this project this fall, wrapping up next spring to have documents beginning to advertise and publicize the future park that’s going to be online as we ask for donations and appropriations in the future for those projects,” Zionsville Supt. of Parks and Recreation Jarod Logsdon Logsdon said during the meeting.

Councilors voiced skepticism about another large project, an indoor community

center, to the chagrin of Styron, who posted a four-page statement on social media Aug. 26 criticizing the council’s decision. The council voted to deny a $125,000 additional appropriation to allow the town to begin a conceptual plan for the project and analyze where such a facility would “make sense and understand what that footprint would look like,” Logsdon said.

The town’s master plan identified a need for indoor recreation facilities, Logsdon told the council before their vote.

“As the fiscal body of the Town of Zionsville, I understand Council’s desire to be fiscally responsible with all spending.

That is why we have requested this planning process. The process would ensure we are building a community center that not only has the amenities and programs our residents desire, but that aligns fiscally with what our town needs.”

– MAYOR EMILY STYRON “One of the common complaints is (that) we have an amazing park system, but as the snow starts falling, our recreational activities become limited, and a large portion of our community goes to other communities for those services,” Logsdon said.

Two possible locations were on 12 acres at Azionaqua Swim Club and land on County Road 875 next to Heritage Trail Park. Logsdon said the additional appropriation would have allowed the town to determine the price of an indoor community center and related expenses.

Councilor Brad Burk said the community will have a community center when the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library

opens its Whitestown Branch, which will include meeting and indoor space. Construction on the new 23,000-square-foot branch is expected to begin in October, and it could open as soon as the fourth quarter of 2022.

“My concern on polling the community on what they want, they already have (it),” Burk said. “They just don’t know it’s there yet.”

Town Council President Josh Garrett said he doesn’t support funding an indoor community center because of the potential price.

“I have not had anyone come to me and say they want a community center,” Garrett said. “I have no desire to spend money on a community center, and I don’t have any desire to spend money on planning for a community center. It’ll be a no for me every time this comes up.”

Styron issued a statement Aug. 26, voicing her displeasure with the council’s vote.

“As the fiscal body of the Town of Zionsville, I understand Council’s desire to be fiscally responsible with all spending,” Styron stated. “That is why we have requested this planning process. The process would ensure we are building a community center that not only has the amenities and programs our residents desire, but that aligns fiscally with what our town needs.”

To read Styron’s full statement, visit the Town of Zionsville’s Facebook page.

Garrett said Styron did not contact the council before the vote to express her opinions before the meeting, although her administration has been in talks with Azionaqua officials regarding a potential facility since at least November 2020, when the town issued a press release announcing that Zionsville and Azionaqua Swim Club had entered an agreement in which the town and Azionaqua were actively exploring additional recreational opportunities for residents.

“With additional funding cycles, there are always opportunities to revisit this,” Logsdon said after the meeting.

Panel shares advice on success

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Adenike Makinde has found her true calling.

After graduWOMEN IN BUSINESS ating college, Makinde enrolled in an executive management program.

“It was 20-plus years in leadership development, HR, training, project management across tech, nonprofits, all kinds of industries,” Makinde said. “All that led me to understand I really wanted to find more purpose and joy in the work that I did and really identify my strengths.”

In April 2019, the Westfield resident started JoyFully Coach & Career Strategy.

“It’s been a joy to help people figure out their purpose and their strengths and really move into meaningful work,” Makinde said.

Makinde was part of a Women in Business panel Aug. 19 in a combined Chamber of Commerce luncheon of Westfield and Zionsville at Finley Creek Vineyards in Zionsville.

Panelist Jackeline Diaz-Ayala, a Westfield resident who works at Abbott Labs, said

she was always interested in science and math.

“Growing up, I had very good teachers that mentored and advised me in middle school and high school,” she said. “My leadership ability comes from my dad. My dad is a natural leader. I learned from him how to respect people, which is very important when you are in a leadership career, and I learned how to work and get along with people.”

Diaz-Ayala graduated from college with a chemical engineering degree.

“I like problem-solving and I like figuring out issues in a creative way,” Diaz-Ayala said.

Panelist Dawn Bunting, a Geist resident who is on the Westfield Chamber of Commerce board, earned her master’s degree in higher education and student affairs, but her career took a turn because of her husband’s military career.

“When we got to our first duty station, I was gifted some amazing advice,” said Bunting, a director of human resources at SEP. “Find a job you can be good at Day 1 because you are going to be moving so much.”

Macbeth sets tone as captain for Fishers girls soccer team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School senior Alli Macbeth has some definite goals for both her girls soccer team and herself.

“A goal I have for my team is to only let 10 or less goals in throughout our season conference games and to win sectionals,” Macbeth said. “As for myself, my goals include having 10 assists throughout the season, making it on an all-state team and to be a role model for my teammates.”

The four-year varsity performer was named to the All-Hoosier Crossroads Conference second team in 2020.

“I think I have made the most improvement in advising and communicating with my teammates on and off the field,” Macbeth said. “But also, I think I have improved in my ability to cover more of the midfield, meaning I can be more of a defensive midfielder when needed and also an asset in the transition offensively.”

Macbeth said she does believe she has become a more vocal leader when necessary.

MEET ALLI MACBETH

Hobbies: Drawing, listening to music, weightlifting and shopping Favorite TV show: “The Vampire Diaries” Favorite athlete: Julie Ertz Favorite performer: Kanye West Ideal vacation spot: Dominican Republic “For example, I’ll direct (teammates) on positioning on the field,” Macbeth said. “I will always try and encourage my teammates and give them the best advice on and off the field if they ask me.”

Tigers first-year head coach Harold Spooner, who was an assistant last season, is impressed with Macbeth’s work ethic.

“She was named captain this year because she is one of the hardest workers on the field and does the little things that need to get done when others aren’t as willing to do so,” Spooner said. “Alli is a true box-tobox midfielder who has an excellent work rate on the defensive side of the ball and does a great job of initiating our offense from the midfield. She is a tireless worker in winning the ball back.

“She also has great tactical awareness of knowing exactly where she needs to be to help be a shield for the back line or a support for our offensive players.”

Macbeth began playing soccer when she was 3 years old.

“It has always been my main sport,” said Macbeth, who said she tried basketball and dance when she was growing up. She has played soccer at Hoosier FC since she was 8 years old.

Macbeth said she wants to play college soccer but as of yet has no serious offers.

She plans to study construction management and/or interior design.

Garbanzo plans Zionsville location Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh officials announced the franchise will open a location in Zionsville later COMING SOON this year.

Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh, a fast/casual Mediterranean restaurant, plans to have as many as 25 locations in the state as a part of a Midwest expansion. The brand also has identified Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Valparaiso and Bloomington as its next targeted locations. The brand has one location in Indianapolis and one at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend.

Heading the brand’s growth in Indiana is Garbanzo Master Franchise Developer Lee Kleiner, who opened the state’s first restaurant in 2020 and several other franchises in the area.

“As we continue to grow nationally, we are looking to penetrate markets where Millennial and GenZ consumers are pushing the demand for fast, nutrient-dense and flavorful food options,” stated Eric Lavinder, chief development officer for WOWorks, a franchisee whose brands include Garbanzo. “Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh is the perfect fit to meet Hoosiers’ demand for healthy meals that can be customized to fit a number of dietary needs and lifestyles, such as vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free.

We anticipate success in Indiana and can’t wait to grow.”

So far this year, Garbanzo has opened 15 restaurants, with more expected later this year. As it expands, it will diversify in more nontraditional retail sites, such as airports, universities, ghost kitchens, military bases and grocery stores, according to Garbanzo officials.

COMMUNITY DISPATCHES Brush and limb collection begins Sept.

27 — The Town of Zionsville’s Dept. of Public Works will provide curbside brush and limb collection beginning Sept. 27, continuing through the week Oct. 4. This service provides Zionsville residents in the Urban Service District a means to dispose of certain pruning and yard debris. All items must be placed curbside by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of the district’s designated week. Crews will work to collect all properly placed material no later than the following Friday but might complete this task earlier. The limit on size is 6 inches in diameter and smaller.

Grass clippings, leaves, decorative grass, vines, stumps, root balls, construction lumber, firewood and wooden fencing material will not be collected. Bundling is not required. Limbs up to 6 inches in diameter may be left intact but should be no larger than can be managed by one person.

Town renames department — Following approval by the Zionsville Town Council during its August 16 meeting, the Town of Zionsville has renamed the Planning and Economic Development Dept. to the Community and Economic Development Dept. Town officials say the department’s name change better reflects the role, the value the department has community-wide and the services rendered from the department to the community. Within the department name change will be a change in title to the director: Wayne DeLong is now the director of community and economic development. Changes within the structure of the department include being home to the Municipal Action Center — the customer-centric service module in town hall that will open its doors in the fall of 2021 — and increased use of the OpenGov digital customer service platform.

Whitestown resident wins $1,000 prize — Billinero, an app-based savings account that awards cash prizes in monthly and quarterly drawings to select users, named Kathryn Jones of Whitestown, as the newest $1,000 monthly winner. Jones said she began using Billinero after finding out that Centier Bank was the financial institution behind the savings app, where she’s been a loyal client since childhood, according to a media release. Chris Campbell, Executive Vice President of Billinero, said users don’t have to be Centier clients. Billinero’s next monthly drawing takes place on Aug. 31. The app is available to download in the App and Google Play stores. For more, visit Billinero.com.

A look at factors causing businesses’ struggles

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Matt Frey has managed to keep his Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream restaurants in business throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including through the sudden ban on in-person dining in the spring of 2020 and the uncertainty that followed. But now another crisis has emerged: Frey can’t keep his restaurants Frey fully staffed. And neither can many other businesses.

Because of the worker shortage, Bub’s has had to change its model from full service to counter service at multiple locations.

And even to do that, Frey and his wife are working the lunch shift in Zionsville to keep the restaurant open, taking orders and seating long lines of customers.

“I don’t want to change our process, but I’m seriously analyzing it right now,” Frey said. “We might have to change all the Bub’s to counter service.”

While the pandemic hasn’t helped, Frey doesn’t view it as the source of the problem. Bub’s relies heavily on high school student workers, and Frey said he began to have more difficulty recruiting them even before the pandemic began.

Patrick Tamm, president and CEO of the Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association, said it’s become increasingly more difficult to find young workers statewide. “(Finding) youth labor has been hard for quite some time, pre-pandemic,” Tamm said.

“Some of it is that kids are busier, and they have other obligations.”

Kathryn Fryburg, a Carmel resident and junior at Park Tudor High School, said she’s held jobs in the summer but has chosen not to work during the school year so that she can focus on preparing for college. She said a majority of her friends have made the same choice.

The pandemic has added pressure to the college application process, Fryburg said, as many internship opportunities have vanished, academic competitions have been canceled or gone virtual and, with the submission of standardized test scores becoming optional to apply to many schools, students have to find other ways to set

themselves apart.

“It’s harder to do what you need, not only to enhance yourself as a student academically but to prepare yourself for college,” said Fryburg, adding that she probably would have chosen not to work during her junior year regardless of the pandemic.

The pandemic can be blamed for the loss

of younger workers in other ways, as well.

Like older workers, many students left the restaurant industry early in the pandemic when a ban on indoor dining led to the loss of 215,000 restaurant jobs in 24 hours in Indiana, Tamm said.

“Many of those folks don’t have six days’ worth of savings, let alone six months,”

Tamm said. “They went to find other employment elsewhere. A lot of skills that you have in the hospitality industry are highly desirable in others.”

Tamm, a Westfield resident, said many of the younger, nonmanagement employees went to work for logistics companies, warehouses and call centers, which are less likely to be as severely affected by a pandemic as restaurants.

It’s difficult to know when the youth labor shortage will end or if some of its forced changes are here to stay, Tamm said.

For Frey, the impacts continue. He recently announced that most Bub’s locations will be closed on Tuesdays to give his remaining employees a guaranteed day off.

“We have to give the people who are working seven days, our managers, a break,” Frey said. “We’re fearful of turnover with our full-timers, because they’re getting pushed so hard.”

Leigh Ann Akard, who co-owns Akard True Value Hardware and Back to the Bricks in Zionsville, said hourly wages are becoming a point of competition for businesses that rely on part-time workers and younger workers because of the decreased supply of workers and businesses’ increased demand for them.

“They are pushing starting wages so high,” said Akard, citing businesses that offer $15 an hour for what are many workers’ first jobs. “I mean, for somebody’s first job, for a kid for their first job to start out at that, I don’t know how we will be able to sustain those types of wages.”

Gutwein also said many seniors working part-time jobs were forced to choose between their health and their decision to stay in the workforce because of the pandemic.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Food for thought

Losing my will to win Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Most of us have a favorite fast food.

Sure, we pretend like we never have the stuff and that even if we did, we only chose the healthiest options. But sometimes, the craving for greasy, salty and convenient french fries is too tempting to overcome. How could this fare be bad for us when it tastes so good? Besides, how much damage could a trio of drive-thru tacos really do? What about a late-night trove of golden and cheesy breadsticks?

Unless we are afflicted with over-thetop sodium levels or other preexisting complications, the occasional chicken-and-waffle sandwich is not likely the worst thing we do to our bodies. So, why does having the telltale bag on our front seat bring an inkling of shame?

Are we embarrassed by the sloth indicated since we didn’t take the time to grill the cheeseburger ourselves? Is fast food lazy food, or is it because we feel like we are cheating on some promise to our bodies to try to care for them a little bit more? Is fast food fat food? Maybe it is that we don’t like the supposed politics of these purveyors? Do they pay workers enough? Do they care enough about their suppliers, or are they closed on Sundays? Is fast food virtue-signaling food?

Whatever the beef we have with it, fast food is not likely to depart the landscape (or our gullet) anytime soon. So, can we find peace during a burger war?

The conflict is so great that governments around the world have weighed in. Many Communist and Socialist regimes have officially restricted access to the forbidden fries, and we even talk about it here in the land of the free.

Should there be a supersize? Perhaps, some say. But isn’t fast food just food fast?

Alas, I may be losing my competitive spirit. Not when it comes to important matters, of course, like defeating my husband Doo in all manner of life’s trials or upholding my school’s championship karaoke legacy (let’s go, 400 Hallway!), but in my own ambition for peak athletic performance. As I near that half-century mark, I’m starting to feel less and less drive to “be the best,” even when it only means beating three other almost50-year-old ladies.

This change may not sound like a big deal, unless you know me. I have always been that person who wants to win or at least achieve a PR. I gave up running for a while when I was in the middle of having kids, but since then, I’ve found restored energy and self-confidence in participating in road races, triathlons and even obstacle course events. They affirm my strength and power as a woman and a mom.

But lately, I’ve been thinking that I just want to finish without suffering a stroke. I want to enjoy the challenge for what it is and be happy with the fact that I trained for and completed something. Who cares if I place last in my age group? I’m not sure I do anymore.

Yay, me! I’m fostering a healthy growth mindset and gaining perhaps a tad bit of humility. My new attitude is not simply an acceptance of my physical limits but a celebration of what this near-AARP body can accomplish, despite the bad knees, periodic incontinence and annoying plantar fasciitis.

So, yes, I may be losing my competitive spirit, but definitely in a good way.

Peace out.

Creative Umbrella opens studio

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com When Deborah Hayward and her husband, Ron Schow, first visited Zionsville, they ate at Rosey’s, and she was NEW BIZ intrigued by Black Dog Books’ storefront across the street.

With time to spare, Hayward, 46, and Schow walked inside the bookstore, where they met owner Tania Roudebush, the first Zionsville resident the couple would come to know.

Several years later, on Aug. 26, Hayward celebrated the grand opening of Creative Umbrella, a graphic design business, inside Black Dog Books at 115 S. Main St. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held the same day and ice cream and door prizes were given to visitors.

Before opening the new business, Hayward worked as a freelance graphic designer for several years, operating out of her home. She developed a clientele on the east and west coasts, but she wanted to expand to include more local businesses.

“Funny thing is, I was not looking for a space,” Hayward said. “But my son just

Immediately to the left of Black Dog Books’ entrance is an additional space that has served a variety of businesses, including a travel agency and local artist. Hayward was so taken by the space that she decided to open a studio in it.

By opening the studio, Hayward wants to attract more local clients.

Consult podiatrist to help care for your feet as you age Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Maintaining mobility and preventing disability are keys to living independently as we age. As the years pass, PODIATRY your body changes and your feet can take a hit in the process. Regular visits to a podiatrist can protect your feet and help keep you active.

When you see a podiatrist, a thorough foot exam should be performed, looking for any signs of injury or major changes. Some

of the most common conditions diagnosed during the senior years include: Bunions Bunions develop over time. Usually, they’re the result of internal pressure on your big toe joint. While often a hereditary problem, years of wearing shoes that pinch or your favorite high heels could add up to large, painful bunions.

Dry skin As you age, your body’s cells have a hard-

Fitzgerald, Collins star in ‘Always…Patsy Cline’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Judy Fitzgerald didn’t know country singer Patsy Cline’s music that well until she prepared to portray her.

MUSICAL “I have now become a huge fan of her amazing talent,” she said.

Fitzgerald portrayed Cline in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Always…

Patsy Cline” in 2013. She and fellow ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins, who played Cline’s friend Louise Seger, will reprise their roles in the two-woman musical Sept. 10 to Oct. 3 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Cline died in a plane crash in 1963 at age 30. The musical serves as a memory piece for Seger.

“I think of each song as filtering through Louise’s mind as she remembers each experience, so many times through the radio and then in person,” Fitzgerald said. “Think of the way songs touch people during different times in their lives, from tapping your hand on the steering wheel to crying in your kitchen. This is truly Louise’s story.”

Collins said it’s always interesting to portray an actual person.

“Their story is a rare one,” Collins said.

“To correspond with each other after meeting for just one night is a testament to both of them and the connection they obviously had. The two women stayed in touch all the way up to Patsy’s death.

There is no doubt they would have continued their correspondence if not for Patsy’s passing.”

Collins said Seger was a single mother from Texas.

“What I found on Louise was all connected with Patsy Cline. Of course, (it was) letters she kept from Patsy, which is the basis of the show,” Collins said. “She was a character, for sure. Bold and funny.

However, the way Ted Swindley created the character of Louise was done with creative license. It is pretty common for a writer to put their spin on a person. That spin makes the show what it is — Louise is

the comic and Patsy is the straight man. It works wonderfully.

“Make no mistake, though, Mr. Swindley doesn’t gloss over tender moments, which gives the audience an insight into these two women and their lives.”

Collins and Fitzgerald are joined on stage by The Bodacious Bobcats Band led

by Nathan Perry. Perry returns from the original production along with Greg Wolff on drums, Greg Gegogeine on bass, Kathy Schilling on fiddle and two newcomers, Matt Day on guitar and Michael Clark on steel guitar. Terry Woods returns as the musical dIrector. Bill Jenkins is directing the production.

Collins first saw “Always…Patsy Cline” several years ago in New York.

“It never crossed my mind to play the role of Louise back then,” she said.

Collins said her late father was a huge fan of Cline. For his 80th birthday party, Collins performed a medley of Cline’s songs.

“I didn’t come close to sounding as good as Judy does on her music, though,” Collins said. “She has that deep, rich quality that Patsy Cline had. It’s what made Cline as distinct and unique as she was, what made her a star.”

Fitzgerald said she loves all of Cine’s music, so it’s hard to pick a favorite song.

“I do love ‘Gotta Lotta Rhythm In My Soul’ and ‘San Antonio Rose,’ but they are all terrific,” Fitzgerald said.

Local bands RISE to the occasion

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com If all goes according to plan, the inaugural Hamilton County RISE Fest won’t be the last.

FUNDRAISER It will be the first of many.

“It’s our first year with a vision to make it an annual event,” said Andy Binford, founder and executive director of RISE Fest, a daylong music festival featuring local bands to raise money for Hamilton County nonprofits.

Conceived by local musicians as a way to combine live performances with fundraising, RISE Fest will be presented from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at Spencer Farm Winery, 7015 E. 161st St., in Noblesville. The free, family-friendly event will feature seven local bands and benefit four Hamilton County nonprofits: Student Impact (Westfield), Carmel Lions Club, Third Phase (Noblesville) and Highmark Church (Fishers).

RISE stands for “rockers impacting and serving everyone.”

Binford, a Westfield resident who plays bass in two of the participating bands, expects more than 500 people to attend at some point throughout the event. The fundraising goal is $4,000, with an anticipated

$1,000 going to each of the four nonprofits — one from each of Hamilton County’s largest cities.

Guests can bring their own chairs, blankets and coolers with food and non-alcoholic beverages. Spencer Farm wine will be available for purchase, with a portion of sales benefitting the nonprofits.

Besides live music, RISE Fest will include a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle.

“I’m excited about what (the event) represents,” Binford said. “Lots of local musicians (are) giving their time and talents to benefit the local community and not making a dime. I cannot express how supportive all the sponsors have been, writing checks and sending money, and others donating items.

I have been blown away.”

Comprised primarily of Hamilton County musicians, the participating bands are Rhino Down, Naptown Hepcats, Blind Vision, The Prince Brothers, Indy Gorgeous Club, Board Meeting and Rain Dogs.

“Come out and enjoy some tasty wine and rock out with several amazing bands,” said Binford, who plays with Board Meeting and Blind Vision.

Theaters to present ‘Dreamgirls’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In Dee DuVall’s view, “Dreamgirls” has stood the test of time.

“There are Broadway proMUSICAL ductions and cabarets that are just classic, so it populates across all generations and all communities,” Duvall said. “That’s what we felt ‘Dreamgirls’ would be. For us, it’s just that classic piece where everyone relates to it.

The movie and some of the popular stories from Motown, even rock groups, all of that is portrayed in this production. That was the engine behind us to put this classic out along with it being an all-Black cast.”

DuVall, a Carmel resident, is the artistic director for Indiana Performing Arts Theatre and KaidyDid Productions’ presentation of “Dreamgirls” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 18 and 4 p.m.

Sept. 19 at the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre, 502 N. New Jersey St., Indianapolis.

“Dreamgirls” is a fictionalized story of the Motown girl groups of the 1960s, such as The Supremes and The Marvelettes.

Native Bread

Commentary by Anna Skinner Editor’s note: The next several At the Table with Anna columns will spotlight gluten-free items.

Address: 9546 Allisonville Rd., Suite 106, Indianapolis, or the Broad Ripple Farmers Market What to get: Roasted garlic and rosemary loaf Price: $11 Anna’s take: I had never tried Native Bread, but after hearing rave reviews, I decided to give it a go. The bread is gluten-, dairy- and egg-free, but the taste and consistency make it just as delicious (or more so, in my opinion) than traditional bread. It is dense and toasts beautifully, and there are so many different options. I tried three loaves: roasted garlic and rosemary ($11), olive loaf ($11) and honey oat loaf ($11). The honey oat loaf is best sliced and toasted and served with jam or as sandwich bread. I used the

roasted garlic and rosemary loaf and the olive loaf as side items for homemade tomato soup. They are excellent for dipping, and when you smear on some butter (or dairyfree butter) and pop them under the oven broiler, they become crisp and pair perfectly with warm soup.

Native Bread has so many options – seeded boule, sourdough, baguette, burger buns, cookies, scones, galettes and more – and they are all gluten-, dairy- and egg-free. Native Bread is available for carryout and pickup every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It operates a booth weekly at the Broad Ripple Farmers Market from 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays at 7700 N.

CCP keeps it light with new play

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jessica Hawkins is convinced the timing is right for “Boeing Boeing.”

“This is a really silly, fun COMEDY escape from what else is going on in the world that we don’t want to focus on right now,” the Fishers actress said. “It’s a good date night. It’s ridiculous at times.”

The Carmel Community Players will open the 2021-22 season with “Boeing Boeing” Sept. 10 to 19 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

Hawkins plays Gabriella, an Italian flight attendant, so she has been working on an Italian accent.

“I’ve been trying to get better and better at it,” she said. “I’m not originally Italian — big surprise.”

The play is Hawkins’ first that isn’t a musical.

“This has been a lot of fun,” said Hawkins, who performed in CCP’s “Blood Brothers” in 2017.

Indianapolis resident Eric Dixon likes that the play is high energy.

“It has me running around all over the

stage, and that’s always fun,” Dixon said.

“I’ve heard it referred to as a ‘door farce,’ which I think is very accurate. There is a lot of coming and going and near-misses.”

Prior to this show, all of Dixon’s roles in the Indianapolis area have been Shakespeare productions.

Director Dan Scharbrough said the six actors have done a great job despite having a shorter-than-average rehearsal schedule .

The play is Scharbrough’s first directing experience at CCP, but he has directed shows in the Indianapolis area for 30 years.

Blueprint for Improvement: An outdoor retreat in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene This 2013 home is in east Zionsville’s Willow Ridge neighborhood. The owners wanted to replace the deck with a screened porch.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The new porch extends further than the previous deck to give the homeowners plenty of room for enjoying the outdoors.

• The vaulted ceiling is finished with wood paneling.

• The new addition was painted in a color that more closely mirrors the home’s exterior.

• The stairs were relocated to the opposite side, providing closer access to the rest of the backyard.

• The updated landscaping includes an updated stone pathway.

Girl in France murders car Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt A crash blossom is a news headline with unclear wording that can lead to confusing meanings. The term got its name back in GRAMMAR GUY 2009 when an American editor in Japan came across a headline that read “Violinist Linked to JAL Crash Blossoms.”

The editor, after reading the headline, wondered what a “crash blossom” was.

In fact, it had to do with the violinist — whose father died in an airline crash in 1985 — advancing her musical career. The headline was misleading.

Let’s look at a few examples. A 2012 New York Times opinion column featured a headline that read “Israel Ducks on Human Rights.” It wasn’t about ducks from Israel and their thoughts about human rights (as opposed to duck rights). In fact, the essay lamented that the Israeli government had shown a pattern of avoiding getting involved in cases where foreign governments were allegedly committing human rights violations.

A 2012 BBC news story confused many

when it led with the headline, “Girl found alive in France murders car.” To help you understand what actually happened here, let’s look at a CNN headline about the same story: “France shootings: Girl hid under bodies in car.” What happened here is that a woman was found alive among deceased bodies inside a car that was connected to a string of murders in France.

Ambiguous news headlines make me snort-laugh, but what would you expect from a former English major? “Police Can’t Stop Gambling.” “Blind Bishop Appointed To See.” “Kids Make Nutritious Snacks.”

“Milk Drinkers Turn to Powder.” “Child’s Stool Great for Use in Garden.” “Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim.” You can’t make this stuff up, and I can’t wait to see how my editor changes the title I originally wrote for this column.
