A twist on ‘The Nutcracker’ news@currentzionsville.com The Village Dance Studio dancers will present “The Nutcracker, Short & Suite” at the STAR Bank Performing Arts BALLET Center, 1000 Mulberry St., Zionsville, with performances at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Dec. 10.

Village Dance Studio opened in Zionsville in 1977 and now includes hip-hop, jazz, modern, tap, pointe, creative movement and more.

“We designed this production to be friendly for all families, as ‘The Nutcracker’ ballet is a magical part of the holiday season and should be enjoyed by everyone,” Village Dance Studio director Traci Broman stated.

Broman said “Nutcracker, Short & Suite” differs from other productions because it features only local dancers, is shorter than the traditional “The Nutcracker” and admission is affordable for families. More than 100 Zionsville and Whitestown kids will participate in the show.

Broman said “The Nutcracker, Short &

Suite” is a condensed version of the Nutcracker ballet that features the show’s best-known dances. Additionally, the production includes narration so young audience members can understand what they see on stage.

“This is a holiday tradition that we love sharing with the community,” Broman stated.

Attendees can meet the dancers and enjoy “The Nutcracker”-themed treats and crafts, photos and autographs during a ticketed Nutcracker Sweets event between performances.

For the second year, Broman said the studio is partnering with the Humane Society for Boone County.

Village Dance Studio has produced “Muttcracker” calendars featuring photographs of the dancers with HSforBC animals. Profits from the calendar sales will go to the Humane Society for Boone County.

Tickets to both “The Nutcracker, Short & Suite” and the Nutcracker Sweets event are available at villagedancestudio.com. All tickets are general admission seating.

Girl Scout wins state contest

LEGACY IS BUILT WITH PLANNING AND ACTION, NOT WORRY AND DENIAL. PROTECT YOUR LEGACY THE SAME WAY YOU BUILT IT.

news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville resident Anna Rose Worthington, a member of local Girl Scout Troop 3757, recently won a ACHIEVEMENT statewide contest to design a Girl Scout patch, which will be distributed to Scouts who attend the Ringling Brothers Circus at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Dec. 1 through 3.

The Ringling Brothers Circus is a family-fun event with several acts at every show. The contest for the Scouts was to design a patch that represents the circus.

Lauren Kerswick, Troop 3757 leader, said Worthington learned about the competition at a day camp during summer.

“They sent out a flier on the last day of camp explaining the patch contest,” Kerswick said. “The contest was for any Girl Scout in Indiana.”

Worthington, a fourth-grader in the bilingual French program at the International School of Indiana, researched the Ringling Brothers’ website to find out their official colors and acts performed to design her patch.

“I came up with the idea to showcase the

human rocket and the high-wire performers,” said Worthington, who is 8 years old.

“I wanted to showcase people of different colors and genders to show the diversity of the circus and use their bright colors in my design.”

Worthington said she was happy to win the contest.

“I was smiling the whole time,” Worthington said. “I was so excited to see my drawing become a patch, and I can’t wait to put it on my Girl Scout uniform. My troop was really supportive of me, and they were all very happy and excited that I won.”

Those who know me know I was a pretty sick puppy for much of last year. I have been on the slow, arduPLAIN TALK ous trail to recovery ever since.

Part of that recovery involves physical therapy sessions twice a week. They want you to believe that PT stands for physical therapy. But I know what it really means — pure torture.

After each session, I feel lucky to walk away.

My first session last week included climbing stairs. It was only two steps, but I mounted them so many times I could have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building. Twice.

At the start of my second session, I told my therapist that my legs were really sore.

“Good,” she said and led me back to the stairs. This time, I only made it to the 61st floor before collapsing.

“Good,” she said again, and I heard her laugh this time. It was just a little laugh, but there was no mistaking its meaning.

Next, she had me stand and then sit, stand and sit, stand and sit, stand and sit until my legs turned to jelly, and I knew the only way I would be leaving the building would be on my hands and knees. Or I could sit there until my next session.

The next torture was marching in place.

I thought about telling my therapist I had fulfilled my lifetime quota of marching in the military years before, but I changed my mind when she told me to pick up the pace.

“Lively,” she said, and I knew she meant it because that’s what my drill sergeant used to say. I picked up the pace. “Good,” she said.

Back home, I joyously sat in a chair for the rest of the day. Strangely, I wasn’t as sore as I had been the next day. I felt pretty good. Maybe, just maybe, this PT stuff was working.

And I should tell her. I know what she would say.

“Good.”

Senior was a kicking/punting threat for Eagles

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Trevor Henkle started playing soccer before football for a good reason.

Henkle lived in England for two years from age 7 to 9 because of his father’s job at Rolls-Royce. His family eventually moved back to Zionsville, where they had lived Henkle previously.

“That made it easy to transition to kicking footballs,” Henkle said of soccer. “I started kicking in fourth grade, and I started playing middle school football in seventh grade. I played soccer through freshman year, (when) I was on the JV team. Sophomore year, I decided to put all my energy into football. I’ve always known since fourth grade that football was my passion, but I wanted to keep up with soccer because it was fun.”

The Zionsville Community High School senior had two successful seasons as a kicker and punter for the Eagles.

MEET TREVOR HENKLE

Favorite athlete: Justin Tucker Favorite movie: “The Sandlot” Favorite subject: Math College major plans: Finance Henkle led all Class 6A schools with a 43.5 yards per-punt average, nearly 3 yards more than the next 6A punter. He was third overall in average in Indiana. A total of 41 percent of his punts were inside the 20yard line.

Henkle averaged 58.2 kickoff yards per game, with 74 percent of deep kickoffs being touchbacks. He was 27 for 27 on extra-point attempts as a senior and 21 of 22 on PATs as a junior. He made 18 of 25 field

goals in the two seasons, including a long of 37 yards.

“In both phases, he had a great career

and contributed a lot to the team,” Eagles coach Scott Turnquist said. “We asked that he do a lot, not just kicking as far as he can, but directional kicking. He is a guy that is constantly working. He is the equivalent to a gym rat on the football field. He’s always out kicking on his own. He’s constantly trying to get better in a lot of different ways.

We had confidence in him whenever we put him out there.”

Several colleges are recruiting Henkle for kicking and punting.

“It helps that I can do both kicking and punting because with limited travel roster size, they value having a specialist who can be a starter for one skill and be a backup for another,” he said. “I really enjoy both kicking and punting, but there’s nothing better than putting points on the board with kicking.”

Henkle said his biggest improvement has been with his punting in the last year.

He credits his private kicking coach, Mark Hagee, for helping with that aspect.

Henkle has taken several visits to Big Ten, Mid-American Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference and Ivy League schools.

SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER Third annual Winterfest returns to Zionsville Dec. 1

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com As temperatures drop, the Town of Zionsville is gearing up for annual holiday celebrations.

Winterfest is a monthlong celebration created by the Zionsville Parks and Recreation Department in 2021. The annual event has activities for people of all ages throughout December.

Mindy Murdock, director of recreation services for the Zionsville Nature Center, said the event is an opportunity for people to celebrate the season and participate in winter activities throughout town.

“While we see great attendance in all our warmer-month programs, people tend to stay indoors in the winter,” Murdock said. “Winterfest invites people to get out, go into the parks and see what the winter season can provide.”

Murdock said all fees from Winterfest programs go toward purchasing supplies for the event, such

as craft supplies and cocoa.

For a variety of reasons, one significant change is that the ice skating rink at Mulberry Fields will not return this year.

“There were a couple of reasons why we did not bring it back this year,” Murdock said. “The biggest reason is that we wanted Mulberry Fields facilities to catch up in its amenities. With the rink, there were a lot of issues with behind-the-scenes things that people didn’t notice (in the past). The goal is to bring it back eventually, but it will be on hold for a year or two.”

Many programs require registration. To register, visit zionsvillein.myrec.com/info/activities/program_ details.aspx?ProgramID=29892.

Making words count Commentary by Terry Anker In sitting through yet another four-hour Zoom meeting, we all become fans of the KISS principle — keep it simple, ESSAY stupid! The notion that overly complex systems are less efficient and effective than their simpler alternatives first appeared in the United States between the great wars to be ultimately brought to prominence by the Navy in the early 1960’s. Essentially, it advocated that a straightforward approach, in the absence of considerable evidence to the contrary, is always better than a convoluted one. Today, it covers any discussion or process whose complexity outweighs its productive value.

If we recognize this as a good general truth, can we take it too far? Is there a danger of spending too few words to make a point just as there is risk with too many?

Sure, uncomplicated engineering, as originally envisioned by the Navy, still had to work. The device or plan required sufficient detail so that it could manage to accomplish the task it was assigned to address. Is proper communication that much different?

ESKENAZI HEALTH FOUNDATION IS GRATEFUL TO

Ben Pecar and Leslie Thompson FOR THEIR LEAD GIFT THEY AFFIRM: “16 miles equals 16 years, that’s the difference in life expectancy between zip codes here in Indianapolis. This is not acceptable. The solution is a lot more complicated than the problem, which is why it comes down to the people. Eskenazi Health knows how to deliver.” eskenazihealthfoundation.org

Is the simple yes or no answer enough with any more words becoming a distraction? Or is the binary response overly simplistic and unable to fully address an interrogatory? No matter how many times someone says a single word, it doesn’t make a sentence, or sense. The “Guardians of the Galaxy” team member, a personified and charming tree, is only able to say, “I am Groot.” He is a clever comic book character but not a nuanced orator. Context and pantomime matter, but are they able to carry the full message by themselves?

The first duty of communication falls to the communicator, and the second to the listener. So, as that communicator is finding the right words leading the charge and the right number of words following up right behind?

Let me ‘spa’ it out for you Commentary by Danielle Wilson What am I thankful for this holiday season? Spa’La Christina. It’s the name my husband gives to my sister’s HUMOR Architectural Digest-worthy house in Ohio because of the pampered experience I receive every time I stay with her.

Normally, I visit for Thanksgiving, but this year, our mom decided to host and my highly anticipated annual trip to SLC was cancelled. To heck with that.

I called the manager (on her personal line!) and reserved an early November overnight.

Although it’s a three-hour drive, being at SLC was worth every gallon of gas and frustrating zipper merge (for the love of all that is holy, people, stop blocking the lane 2 miles out!).

For starters, the proprietors have spent years remodeling and now have a circa-1920s abode that embraces its old-world charm with a nod to modern features and furnishings.

The wood floors creak and the arched doorways are low, but the dimmer lights

and surround-sound classical piano tunes create a magical ambiance whether at the 11-foot marble kitchen island or in the seagrass-wallpapered den.

Even better, the SLC manager/co-owner is the consummate host.

She greeted me with freshly made pumpkin bread and a latté from her built-in coffee bar, while showing me to one of her daughter’s bedrooms, where she’d placed clean towels and a heavily laden snack tray. I was then escorted to the cozy living room where a puzzle, sparkling water and hummus invited me to enjoy the roaring fire. I partook in a posh steak dinner and then woke the next morning to more soothing background music and espressos.

I felt rich. I felt cherished. I felt rejuvenated. Thank you, Spa’La Christina!

Peace out.

Actor gets dream role as Buddy in Civic Theatre’s production of ‘Elf’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brett Edwards has long been a fan of “Elf.” “We hosted Thanksgiving and we had 20 to 30 people, and at the MUSICAL end of the day, for about 10 years, we would watch ‘Elf,’” Edwards said. “So, that was always our thing.”

So, it seems fitting that the Broad Ripple resident is playing the lead role of Buddy in Civic Theatre’s presentation of “Elf,” which runs Dec. 1-24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Edwards performed in the ensemble of “Elf” in Altoona (Pa.) Community Theatre.

At the time, Edwards was an AccuWeather meteorologist in State College, Pa. “To be able to perform in the show and Jack Tanselle, left, and Brett Edwards will perform in “Elf” at Civic Theatre.

Noblesville singer juggles hectic holiday schedule

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Sarah Scharbrough, the holiday season becomes a juggling act.

“December is by far and CONCERT away our busiest time of year,” she said. “I have over 25 concerts and events booked. I’m so thankful for the work and it’s also crazy putting the puzzle together of live performing, often being on the road and prioritizing family commitments. ‘Tis the season.”

Scharbrough, a Noblesville singer and pianist, will appear with Ryan Ahlwardt at 4:30 and 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“The Dec. 3 (show) is special because it’s the first time we’ve done our big holiday show in an all-ages venue,” Scharbrough said. “In addition to having Ryan Ahlwardt, I’m really bringing all of the youthfulness because my five kids will make their debut performance together and the varsity show choir. The Noblesville Singers will also be making guest appearances.”

Her husband, Jeff McLaughlin, the Westfield High School music teacher, plays drums/percussion.

“Jeff is such an amazing musician and all-around human and brings so much talent and skill to every group with which he plays,” Scharbrough said. “My brother SteNOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HEARING OFFICER Docket No. PZ-2023-00268 V Notice is hereby given that the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on the 12th day of December, 2023 at 5:15 p.m. in the Carmel City Hall, 2nd Flr Caucus Rooms, 1 Civic Sq, Carmel, IN 46032, will hold a Public Hearing upon a Development Standards Variance application to: UDO Section 5.02. - Minimum pool & decking setback must be 3-ft from easement; 3’ encroachment into easement requested for hot tub and enclosure.

phen Scharbrough is my guitarist — we’ve literally been making music together our whole lives. My sister Suzanne Cogswell sings with us at holiday time every year.

And, of course, Bethany Robinson is amazing on bass/vocals.”

Robinson, the Noblesville High School jazz band program director, frequently performs with Scharbrough.

“Collaboration is the name of the game for me,” Scharbrough said. “The only way to keep growing and learning is to constantly get outside of yourself, your ears, your confirmation bias on what’s working — this goes for music and everything else, in my opinion — and remain open to new sounds, vibes, thought patterns.”

CIDE production of ‘The Nutcracker’ set

By Ken Severson editorial@youarecurrent.con For the 24th consecutive year, the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will stage the holiday classic “The Nutcracker.”

BALLETT Four public performances of “The Nutcraker” will be presented from Dec. 1-3 at the STAR Bank Performing Arts Center in Zionsville. It will be the 20th straight season for the show at the venue.

“It is a really nice set up there,” Central Indiana Dance Ensemble Artistic Director Ashley Jacobs said. “It has plenty of space, dressing rooms and 1,200 seats.”

Jacobs, herself a dancer and dance teacher with several years of experience, has been with Central Indiana Dance Ensemble since 2009 and has been the artistic director since the fall of 2020.

Two of the key performers are Hamilton County high school students.

Claire Barbour, a junior at Carmel High School, is playing the Snow Queen and Demi Soloist Flowers while Charlotte Van Dyke, a senior at Guerin Catholic, portrays the Sugar Plum Fairy.

“I’ve been dancing since age 2, and I have been performing in ‘The Nutcracker ‘since I joined Central Indiana Dance Ensemble in 2015 to perform as a little toy soldier,” said Van Dyke, who has since progressed from toy soldier. “‘The Nutcracker’ has easily become my favorite part of the holiday season, and I am so excited to be performing this year as the Sugar Plum Fairy, a role that I have been dreaming of since I was 8.”

Barbour started dancing at the age of 2 and joined CIDE two years later.

“This year, after being cast in the snow scene for two years previously, I am thrilled to be the Snow Queen and be partnering for the first time on stage,” Barbour said. “I am honored to have this amazing opportunity this holiday season.”

Tickets are available at cidedance.org.
