Bradley Ridge receives final approval in Zionsville

By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com

The developer for a luxury residential neighborhood and the grassroots organization Save Rural Zionsville reached an agreement on plans to bring the new homesites to the town. The planned unit development agreement has been approved by the Zionsville Town Council.

A plan to rezone the area between U.S. 421 and C.R. 950 E. to accommodate for a $700 million PUD to include 290 dwellings was approved April 9. Henke Development and Save Rural Zionsville have been working together since mid-2023 on the design plans to develop the rural area in a way that doesn’t negatively impact the existing homes and natural areas.

The development will include 250 single-family homes on the east side of Eagle Creek and 40 single-family homes on the west side of Eagle Creek with a clubhouse and trails, with no townhomes. Commitments made as part of the PUD include natural area preservation, additional reforestation and downward lighting.

Tony Ridolfo, an attorney representing Save Rural Zionsville, said the group’s favorable position on the PUD came after Henke agreed to several specific com-

mitments. Ridolfo said of the households in the group, 88 percent voted in favor of the PUD. Those homeowners said the development will be well appointed. Homeowners also said they would rather see a community with large single-family homes and amenities developed at the site versus high-density townhomes or apartments.

Matt Price, an attorney representing Henke Development, said the PUD represents nine months of negotiations with Save Rural Zionsville and includes revisions and private commitments, such as giving current property owners in the vicinity of the project the ability to ask for items such as a review of permits or a request for a stop work order.

Price said the density of 290 homes on 349 acres means there will be less than one unit per acre within the entire development.

“If it’s going to set precedent, it’s going to set the right precedent for Zionsville,” Price said. “The highest-quality homes in Indiana, maybe in the Midwest, certainly around the country on less than one unit per acre, over a mile of trails, over 30 percent green space, and providing a home for residents that are going to support the future of rural Zionsville.”

Although Henke Development and Save Rural Zionsville agreed on the PUD, several neighbors spoke in opposition. They raised

concerns about increased traffic, density, the impact on the school district and the potential erosion of the rural character of the area.

“I thought we were on the same page with respecting, loving and preserving hundreds-of-years-old trees, wildlife, and being able to see the stars at night,” said Dawn Ayers, a resident on 900 E. “Apparently, that philosophy has changed. I cannot comprehend why our planning commission and town council is allowing and endorsing these big developers to come here and destroy this beautiful town and convert it into the next south Indianapolis or Carmel.”

Councilor Tim McElderry also had reservations about the project. He said the area was originally zoned to support 156 homes.

“It’s 156 to 290, and I think the people who spoke tonight in opposition of this have a major concern about that type of density,” he said. “In my personal opinion, that appears like urban level density in a very rural community.”

After lengthy discussions, the council approved the ordinance by a 6-1 vote, with McElderry the lone no vote.

Henke Development Group of Indianapolis is the developer behind Promontory of Zionsville, Holliday Farms in Zionsville, and The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield.

Comprehensive plan committe chosen

By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com

A steering committee made up of 30 people representing a variety of businesses, organizations and residents of Zionsville has been formed to help craft the town’s first comprehensive plan in more than two decades.

TOWN NEWS

Mayor John Stehr updated the Zionsville Town Council on the planning process earlier this month. Stehr said the town has officially signed the agreement with HWC Engineering, the firm chosen to compile and create the plan.

“This is the big-picture view: There will be four steering committee meetings, at least three to four subcommittee meetings on topics including economic development, the comprehensive plan itself and transportation,” Stehr said. “Each member of the steering committee will also take a seat on one of the subcommittees, and there will be opportunities for stakeholders and the public to have significant input in this process. There will be at least six public meetings, there will be a number of online surveys and also open houses.”

In March, town officials voted to hire HWC Engineering, with a budget of $300,000 for the comprehensive plan and $150,000 for the transportation plan, which will be conducted concurrently.

Stehr said the signed contract totaled $438,000, leaving $12,000 in the budget for contingencies.

The funding for the comprehensive plan was appropriated in 2023 from the town’s share of federal American Rescue Plan Act funds.

The steering committee is made up of three members of the town council and representatives from the Mayor’s Youth Advocacy Council, the Zionsville Community School District, the Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, homeowners associations, first responders, parks and recreation representatives, township representatives, historic preservation representatives and residents.

The committee is expected to hold its first meeting in late-May.

A comprehensive plan is a nonbinding document that municipalities use to guide decisions on growth, attracting businesses, zoning, residential developments, safety, park planning and other town issues.

Stehr said the town is committed to listening to all the voices of Zionsville as the plan is created. Once complete, the comprehensive plan should be about 300 pages in length and will serve to guide the future of Zionsville.

The plan is expected to take 18 months to complete. The plan will replace the town’s current comprehensive plan, which was created in 2003.

Embracing Mini with a Meaning

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Jacob Stelflug can’t physically run on his own, so his father, Brad Stelflug makes certain he has that experience.

500 FESTIVAL

“He gets to experience the cheers and all the support from the crowd, the support from the other runners, the high-fives and the camaraderie,” said Brad, whose family lived in Westfield for 26 years before moving to Noblesville in 2020.

Brad will push Jacob, 27, in a racing chariot as part of the Ainsley’s Angels Indiana team in the 500 Festival One America Mini-Marathon May 4 in Indianapolis. The Mini with a Meaning connects nonprofits with passionate participants of the Mini-Marathon and Delta 500 Festival Dental 5K to raise awareness and funds.

“The Mini with a Meaning program allows us as a nonprofit to use our team as a platform for the needs we have throughout the years,” said Kristy High, a North Central Indiana ambassador for Ainsley’s Angels and senior ambassador director for Ainsley’s Angels of America. “The funds (help) to purchase and maintain our specialty equipment. Our specialty equipment is the special racing chariots (we) have to maintain. Those can be really pricey. It can be anywhere from $4,000 to $6,000. They are specially designed to be pushed by running.”

Jacob has FG syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes physical and mental delays. Nathan Stelflug, a 25-year-old former Westfield High School track and cross country runner, pushed his brother Jacob in the Boston Marathon April 15. Brad will push Jacob in the Mini-Marathon.

which is a chance for them to make new friends or catch up with old friends because they do come from all over,” High said.

Brad said the Mini-Marathon embraces inclusivity and allows many duo teams to compete. The number of duo competitors is limited to 10 at the Boston Marathon.

• Deliver exceptional and professional public service from the Auditor’s Office at all times

• Provide continuing education training for all employees in basic accounting, best management practices and exemplary customer service.

• Develop a quality assurance process for accuracy for payroll and claims

• Update social media and website content to include interactive portal for greater public access, service, and transparency

There are 39 teams slated for the Mini-Marathon and four for the 5K event. There is one rider with one or two pushers.

High said Ainsley’s Angels has been involved with the Mini-Marathon since 2017 and will be involved with Mini with a Meaning program for the third year.

“They are from all over the country, but the majority are coming from our North Central area,” said High, who lives in Russiaville.

High said when Ainsley’s Angels was accepted into the Mini with a Meaning program, the national organization made it a destination race.

“We also use the funds to provide dinner with all the participants the night before,

“We run the Marine Corps Marathon (in Arlington, Va.) every year and they are very inclusive,” Brad said. “We had 40 chairs running in that one last year. Lots of marathons do it right and Boston just does it wrong.”

Brad, 55, started running marathons in 2002. They began running races in 2015 when Brad adjusted Jacob’s wheelchair. They got a racing chariot two years later.

“When I would finish a marathon, I would grab Jacob and push him across the finish line and let him get the medal,” Brad said. “The crowd would cheer him on. He liked that experience so much. I started pushing him in 5Ks. We just started running races together. It’s kind of our thing.”

funds

The Town of Zionsville has been awarded $675,032 through Indiana’s Community Crossings Matching Grant Program for local roadwork needs. The grant is a 50/50 matching grant, administered by the Indiana Department of Transportation.

Mayor John Stehr said the town expects to receive the funds within the next two months once officials have submitted final contractor pricing and executed the agreement with INDOT.

“The money can only be spent on the projects that were identified and submitted in the application process back in January,” Stehr stated. “This year, these CCMG grant funds (will be) used to repair and resurface Oak Street west of C.R. 950 E. and Sycamore Street east of Elm Street.”

A total of 252 communities across the state will receive more than $207 million through the grant program. Funds can be used for road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements and other roadwork-related items.

“Hoosiers and businesses consistently rely on local roads and bridges to be functional and safe,” stated State Rep. Becky Cash (R-Zionsville). “Investing in regular maintenance and upgrades for our local infrastructure will have long-term benefits for everyone in our area and throughout the state.”

Launched in 2016, the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program provides funding to cities, towns and counties across Indiana to make improvements to local roads and bridges.

Community Crossings is a partnership between INDOT and Hoosier communities to invest in infrastructure projects that catalyze economic development, create jobs, and strengthen local transportation networks.

Projects that are eligible for funding through Community Crossings include road and bridge preservation projects with Americans with Disabilities Act compliance as well as material costs for chip sealing and crack filling operations.

Since 2016, Community Crossings has awarded more than $1.6 billion to improve local roads and bridges.

Drudge takes girls basketball job at ZCHS

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Jennifer Drudge’s last high school head coaching job ended 20 years ago at Carmel High School.

SPORTS

“I’ve always thought about being a head coach again,” she said. “I’m a sports junkie. I love being around a basketball bench, whether that was keeping the scorebook for boys basketball games and listening to what the coaches were saying, or watching games on TV and listening to announcers and coaches do interviews. I just love the game of basketball.”

lot of talented players returning.

Drudge, who was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023, was a 1995 Indiana All-Star at Rushville High School and played at Butler University. She was a Carmel High assistant coach in 2000-01 and then became the head coach for three seasons. She returned as an assistant at CHS from 2009-13.

“During that time, I got hired as a department chair in science, so trying to be the department chair and assistant coach was a lot,” Drudge said.

Drudge, whose maiden name is Marlow, had to find the right opportunity in the right district. She found that when the Carmel resident was recently hired as Zionsville Community High School’s girls basketball coach. She replaces Andy Maguire, who resigned after his second stint as Eagles coach. He coached ZCHS from 1999 to 2006 and returned in 2010. In the last 14 seasons, the Eagles won four sectional titles and were 2018 Class 4A state runners-up.

“It’s an honor to be taking over that program,” Drudge said. “Coach Maguire and his staff did such a fantastic job over the last several years. I enjoyed watching them offensively and defensively. They did a lot of good things on the court. I’m excited about going into a culture that is already established.”

The Eagles will graduate four of their five starters, but Drudge said there are a

Drudge returned as an assistant for first-year CHS coach Rick Risinger this past season after stepping down as department chair this school year.

“I told the Carmel girls that they are the reason I wanted to be a head coach again,” said Drudge, who enjoyed working with the Greyhounds. “Carmel is such a great school district (that) it was going to take another great district (for me) to think about applying to it.”

Drudge coached her niece Annika Marlow’s travel AAU team for several years. Marlow is a 2022 Rushville graduate.

“During that time, I didn’t want to be coaching other people’s kids,” Drudge said.

“I wanted to see my niece play as much as possible.”

Drudge will finish out the year teaching chemistry at CHS, her 24th year at the school. She will teach math at ZCHS.

“I have a math license, so I’m comfortable with that new role also,” Drudge said.

DISPATCHES

Zionsville budget report – Cindy Poore, Zionsville’s Director of Finance and Records, gave members of the Town Council a status report for the first quarter of 2024 during their regular meeting April 9. Poore said revenues in the first quarter totaled $7.6 million, versus $9 million in 2023. Poore said that difference was due mostly to the Parks Department receiving a $1.1 million grant in the first quarter of 2023. Expenses for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $14.9 million versus $10.4 million in 2023. Poore said that variance was due to ARPA dollars that were expended this year. The town is currently at 21 percent of its budget spent for the 2024 calendar year.

Lawrence North shortstop puts up impressive hitting numbers

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Lawrence North High School senior shortstop Anna Mauck keeps racking up some impressive hitting accomplishments.

Mauck, who has signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball for the University of Kentucky next season, has a .469 batting average with three homers in the first nine games. She hit .529 with 13 homers and a school-record 70 runs batted in as a junior. She hit .474 with eight homers as a sophomore and .513 with nine homers as a freshman.

Wildcats coach Matt Marino said the four-year starter batted leadoff her first two years but moved into the No. 3 slot last year because of her ability to drive in runs.

Marino said her biggest strength is consistency as her career batting average is .503.

“She is also very strong defensively as

she can play infield or outfield at a high level,” Marino said. “She has a lot of speed. She’s stolen a lot of bases, too.”

Marino said Mauck has developed a better mental understanding of the game.

“This includes knowing game situations offensively and defensively and what needs to be done in those situations,”

Marino said. “Over her career, her improvements have been in team leadership as she has been a team captain for two years.”

Mauck said her biggest improvement has been battling back with two strikes at the plate.

“It’s swinging at every pitch and not being too picky,” she said. “It’s just developing patience and an attack mode of when I need to be less picky and figuring out balls that are close enough to be hit.”

Her goal is to raise her batting average this season.

“I want to break as many school records as possible and maybe make all-state first team,” said Mauck, who was named Class 3A/4A second team all-state last year by the Softball Coaches Association of Indiana.

Mauck plays for a travel softball team, Tennessee Fury Platinum X, which plays in tournaments across the U.S. She plays shortstop and third base on her travel team.

She chose Kentucky for several reasons.

“The campus was beautiful,” said Mauck, who plans to major in business marketing. “The coaching staff was nice and welcoming. The Kentucky coach came to nearly every one of our games in the summer. It was cool to see how persistent and how much they wanted me. I felt they wanted me and would be there for me and it’s not super far from home.”

A NEW CHAPTER

Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library celebrates opening of Whitestown branch

By Samantha Kupiainen news@youarecurrent.com

More than two years in the making, Zionsville’s Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library celebrated the grand opening of its new Whitestown branch April 20.

Construction of the new branch broke ground in April 2022. The project was a response to public interest in having a library in Whitestown.

“The community asked for a library,” said Kristin Shelley, executive director of Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library. “And then the board of the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library listened and reached out to community members and really listened. Then they approached the trustees and said that we’re able to build this library, we’d like to provide services in an area that wasn’t necessarily fully served with library services before.”

With the opening of the Whitestown branch, Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library now has two locations, including the main branch in Zionsville. Patron’s library cards are accepted at both branches.

“They’ll both be branches of the system and the cards will work,” Shelley said. “If you get a card here, it’s going to work at the Zionsville location, and vice versa.”

To celebrate the grand opening, Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library branch hosted a grand opening April 20. The event included a ribbon cutting and a variety of speakers, including Shelley; Zionsville Mayor John Stehr; Zionsville Town Council President Jason Plunkett; Whitestown Town Council President Dan Patterson; Whitestown Town Manager Katie Barr; Worth Township Trustee Jim Baldwin; and Library Board President Christina Hage.

Zionsville officials said the growth represents an exciting partnership with Whitestown.

“It is so meaningful to me to see this branch being here, working with the branch that’s in Zionsville,” Stehr said. “I truly believe that Zionsville and Whitestown have way more in common than what divides us. It’s good to see us tied together in this way, I think this is a great opportunity for the future… I wish this branch every bit of success as the OG branch in Zionsville has. I look forward to how we can work together to make that happen.”

Patterson echoed that sentiment.

“From the first shovelful of earth until this moment, we have watched the progress of construction with a sense of excitement that is likely shared by many of you here in attendance,” Patterson told those gathered for the official ribbon cutting. “The excitement of knowing that we would soon have a wonderful new library in the community, a library to welcome all of our residents to learn, to congregate and to discover and explore.”

As part of the grand opening, attendees participated in guided building tours that highlighted key areas of the new library. Each area included a variety of library swag for attendees to choose from. The tours ended at the

HMMPL Friends of the Library book sale, which included information on how to volunteer and get involved with the library.

Entertainment included demonstrations of the library’s new MakerStudio, which features a laser-cutter, 3D printer and sewing machine, among other amenities.

The branch will offer a variety of programming.

“We will have storytimes for children and will have specific programming for children,” Shelley said. “We will have both STEM programs for adults, teens and children, of all ages. So, we hope to really kind of meet the community where they are, what their needs are, and provide the programming that they’re asking for and that they want. And we also are moving our outreach van over here. So, our Book Mobile will be housed here, and then we’ll go out from here to the different communities and to the retirement communities throughout both Zionsville and Whitestown. We’re just really, really excited and thrilled to be able to share this.

Shelley said the building is a “phenomenal resource” for the community.

There’s a brand-new staff that have been hired and trained that are eager to welcome patrons through the doors, and to help them,” she said.

Patrons can obtain their library card for the Whitestown branch online at hmmpl.org.

“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” is attributed with positing that, “Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” In the book, which incidentally has sold more than 20 million copies since its first printing in 1989, he argues for character as the human Polaris rather than building or following a cult founded only on personality. There are many more expert Covey readers, but his premise seems iron clad. Trust is essential. Trust is a force multiplier. Trust may not be required but it sure makes life easier.

The form that such confidence might take is nearly limitless. We might trust a child to be responsible, or a caregiver to administer medications, or a taxi driver to deliver us safely, or a soldier to protect our sovereignty, or a teacher to help educate our citizens, or a politician to keep our interests front in their hearts. Each is a

distinct variation of the type. As such, they uniquely hold a corresponding bit of real estate in our conscience and well-being. Therefore, the betrayal of that trust will influence both the mundane and grand elements of our existence. When good faith is lost by a child that didn’t wait to eat their dessert, we can recover by letting them mature a bit before giving them another shot, maybe a day, week or month. If fractured by a grown adult, the repair is more complex and elusive.

What is the obligation of the one who betrayed the trust and of the one harmed? Should we be less trusting or they be more responsible? Should we have been more explicit in the confidence, or they more protective of the information? Trust us, it is complicated.

Time for me to fly

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, this month marks my 17th anniversary of writing for Current. 17th! That’s approximately 850 weekly columns sharing my sometimes crazy, often mundane life in suburban Indiana. But an exciting opportunity has developed, and I’ve made the decision to take a break. Alas, this is farewell, at least for now.

HUMOR

In February of 2023, my husband Doo and I listened to a podcast about a young couple who had quit their jobs and traveled for one year. Within 10 minutes, we had hit pause and were seriously discussing doing the same. It was crazy, sure, but we figured there’d never be a better time. So, we pulled the trigger. We leave July 1 for Australia! Then, it’s Indonesia in August, and after that, who knows? Apart from a few bucket list countries, we’ll see where the cheap flights and warm weather takes us.

It won’t be all play. Doo will be digital nomad-ing, I’ll be taking online classes, and we hope to take advantage of work exchanges to stay on budget. But I will not be writing columns. Although I love the process, I don’t want the responsibility. The only thing I want to think about is whether

Smoked chicken to gag for

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife Mary Ellen has been cooking dinner for me almost every night for more than 44 years. I always felt guilty about that, but never guilty enough to do anything about it. There was a short period when I was in charge of the barbecuing. I was old-school then and still used charcoal, but Mary Ellen read somewhere that this was an unhealthy way to prepare food. Of course, the meat alone was enough to raise our LDL, no matter how we cooked it.

HUMOR

Then we got a new Weber Grill. I had trouble mastering exactly how long to cook our carnivorian (if that’s even a word) selections. Medium-rare is OK for steaks, but it’s life-threatening with poultry.

“This chicken is certainly in the pink,” Mary Ellen told me one night when I took our dinner off the grill. This was not intended as a compliment to the chicken. Or to the chef.

After I was barred from cooking on our deck, I decided to give it a go inside with our new air fryer, another appliance I knew nothing about. But how difficult could it be? I mean, frying with air? This sounded like a fool-proof endeavor. Even for me.

My first attempt at using the new fryer was making a recipe I found on a social media website. You view a sped-up video making you think you can cook this masterpiece in 12 seconds. They usually don’t give you written directions and I still haven’t figured out how to save something or print it out. No matter now, when Mary Ellen found out I had a TikTok account, I was cooked. Account closed.

The recipe was for lemon garlic chicken. I placed the cutlets and all the required ingredients in a plastic baggie, gave it a good shake and let it marinate. Then I placed it all in a pan and slid it into the air

fryer. But first I slathered the top of the bird with olive oil. That was my own little touch.

Mary Ellen had retreated to the back porch to enjoy her night off. I dozed off in my office easy chair. About five minutes later, I was awakened when smoke came billowing from the kitchen. Fumes filled the entire house. What should I do? Call 911? Or Emeril Lagasse?

The problem was that the directions called for baking the recipe in the oven –not the air fryer. And not with oil. Oops! Mary Ellen was aghast at this mistake.

“Look at those directions again. You did something wrong,” she said.

I tried to confirm that she was correct, but it was hard to see the recipe through all the smoke.

But here’s the good news: The chicken that night was very crispy.

Narducci returns to ‘A Little Night Music’ for Indy Opera

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Daniel Narducci has a history with Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music,” beginning in 1988 as a junior in Indiana University’s music school.

PERFORMANCES

“It was my first appearance at IU and my first experience performing Sondheim,” Narducci said.

Narducci, who plays Fredrik Egerman in Indianapolis Opera’s production of “A Little Night Music” May 3-5 at The Toby Theater at Newfields in Indianapolis. The musical examines the romantic lives of several couples in Sweden in 1900.

Narducci, a Unionville resident, played Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm at IU.

“I did two tours of Lancelot and then eventually ascended to the throne as King Arthur in ‘Camelot’ with Indianapolis Opera,” Narducci said. “I’ve kind of matured into the role of Fredrik versus Carl-Magnus.”

Narducci performed in other Sondheim pieces in concerts through the years and performed in “Sweeney Todd” with the Cleveland Opera.

“What is amazing to me (is) how the music just stuck with me when I listened back intently when preparing the role,” Narducci said. “All of Carl Magnus’ lines came flying back into my mind. It’s almost like it never left. We sing a duet together, so I had to learn the other part.”

His wife sings “Send in the Clowns,” later a huge hit for Judy Collins.

His wife, Heather Hertling Narducci, plays Desiree Armfeldt in the production. The couple plays the two principal lead characters in the musical.

“The joke around the house is she sings the hit song and I have a song as well, and she’ll say, ‘What is your song called again?’” Narducci said. “My song is called ‘Now,’ one of the more challenging in the baritone world because of the expediency of text.”

“It’s been wonderful preparing for this role with (Heather) and digging into (the) backstory of the two characters,” Narducci said.

The Narduccis have a duet album called “Our Broadway Romance.”

fell in love with ‘A Little Night Music’ and it made a profound impact on my musical tastes moving forward. I have admired the genius of Sondheim ever since.”

As director of the University of Indianapolis Opera Theatre, she produced this musical with her students.

“They became better actors and singers through the process,” Hacker said. “They learned the importance of telling a story and how to mine for gold in each phrase. There is no richer teaching vehicle than a Sondheim lyric, and in the meanwhile, they committed an extraordinary musical score to memory.”

Hacker said the production brings everything full circle with the Indianapolis Opera.

“I came to Indianapolis as a young singer to work for the Indianapolis Opera as part of their Outreach Ensemble back in the 1980s and have made Indianapolis my home ever since,” Hacker said. “I am delighted to share in this production at this stage of my life, to be in the hands of such a formidable artistic staff and to create good theater with a truly talented cast.”

Whiteland resident Zoe Lowe plays Fredrika. Lowe, a sophomore homeschool student through Indiana Online via Martinsville High School, is excited to make her Indy Opera debut.

“We’ve appeared in shows together but mostly in concerts,” he said.

Kathleen Hacker, who plays Madam Armfeldt, appeared in “A Little Night Music” way back in the last century, she said jokingly.

”The show was offered by Starlight Musicals, an iconic summer musical series presented for many years in Indianapolis, and I was cast in the repertory ensemble for that summer season,” Hacker said. “I

“I thank my lucky stars every day that I get to be a part of this incredible show and work with some incredible talent,” Lowe said. “This will be my 22nd show that I have been in. Musical theater is my favorite outlet and I always treasure every moment I spend on stage.”

Lowe said the main challenge is fully memorizing her role before going on stage.

“This is a new phenomenon for me, but I think that it has helped grow my discipline as an actress and has encouraged me to continue to work hard in what I do,” she said.

Couple enjoys roles in ‘King & I’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For Nathalie Cruz, the time was right to return to the stage.

MUSICAL

“Since COVID, I took a step back to do what I feel like I missed while doing theater straight for 10 years,” the Carmel resident said. “Three years is a long time to be gone and the calling to be on stage has somewhat become palpable.”

Nathalie is sharing the stage with her husband Ian Cruz in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “The King and I,” which runs through May 19 at the Indianapolis venue.

Nathalie has performed in “Victor/Victoria,” “Drowsy Chaperone” and “West Side Story” with her husband.

“This is another one for the books,” Nathalie said. “It’s a memory that we will both have fun looking back for sure.” Ian is definitely enjoying it.

“Although we only have one scene together, it’s a gift to me to witness her brilliance in the various roles she’s played, but especially in her role of Lady Thiang in our

current production when she’s on stage,” said Ian, who plays Kralahome. “I believe it’s been more than a decade, ‘The Drowsy Chaperone,’ since we’ve been together on stage, so it’s always a treat when we get the chance to do so just because it’s fun.”

Carmel High School senior Sam Tiek said he has wanted to return to Beef & Boards for a long time.

“I really enjoy the atmosphere the theater provides, and joining this cast has been such a cool experience,” Tiek said.

Tiek is part of the ensemble. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

A different kind of prom

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Senior Izzy Casciani missed the Zionsville Community High School prom to attend a prom of a much different nature.

MUSIC

Casciani performed as a vocalist in two shows of music from “The Trouble with Dead Boyfriends” April 20 at The Toby Theater at Newfields in Indianapolis. The performances were part of Discovering Broadway’s incubation process. The monster musical comedy involves three girls who cast an undying love spell to summon their dream dates for prom.

“I was lucky enough to go twice with one of my friends,” Casciani said of the ZCHS prom. “So, I felt like I got the experience, but I’d just say this was maybe 100 times better than prom, so it wasn’t that hard (of a choice).”

Casciani had the opportunity to appear alongside some performers who are already making their mark in the entertainment industry, including Barrett Wilbert Weed (Broadway’s “Mean Girls”), Andrew Durand (Tony Award-winning “War Horse”),

From left, Izzy Casciani and Sadie Cohen participating in concert of “The Trouble with Dead Boyfriends.”

Myha’la (HBO’s “Industry,” Netflix’s “Leave the World Behind”), 2014 Carmel High School graduate Eric Wiegand (Broadway’s “Plaza Suite”, Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things”) and Arica Jackson (“The Book of Mormon”).

Discovering Broadway was founded in 2012 by CHS graduate Joel Kirk, who directed the April 20 performances.

CHS freshman Sadie Cohen was one of the backup vocalists.

“Not knowing any of the music before it was really cool to work with people who are super experienced,” Cohen said. “It was great to get advice and learn about that because I definitely want to do this as my career.

Cheers to summer wines

Commentary by Mark LaFay

The month of May is right around the corner, which means I am another year older, race fans will start trickling into town and the unofficial start of summer is almost here.

LIBATIONS

The consistently warmer temperatures have been luring our family outside more often. We’ve officially set up the back porch so we can relax on these warmer, longer weekend evenings while the kids run around. I love enjoying a refreshing glass of wine on the back porch and recently I got to try some really tasty wines that are perfect for patio sipping.

Ameztoi Rubentis: This wine is called Txakolina (chock-oh-lee-nuh) and comes from the Basque region of Spain. It’s made from red and white indigenous grapes fermented with native yeasts. What makes this wine extra fun is that it’s slightly fizzy. The fermentation vessel is sealed toward the end of fermentation, allowing carbon dioxide to build up and make the wine fizzy and delicious. This light, crisp, and dry wine is served chilled.

Easton Amador County Zinfandel: This classic zinfandel is made with ripe red zinfandel grapes grown in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Amador County, Calif. The wine is light-bodied, fully dry and packed with a variety of flavors. Typically, I would suggest cellar temperatures (55 degrees) for red wines, but this one can be served a bit more chilled.

Laporte Sancerre Terre Des Anges: This name is a bit of a mouthful. Sancerre is a region in the Loire Valley of France where white Sancerre is made from Sauvignon Blanc. I love this particular wine because it’s dry, acidic and refreshing. It’s packed with plenty of lemon and peaches. Serve chilled and thank me later.

Give these wines a try. You can find them at Kahn’s, 21st Amendment in Fishers, and Grapevine Cottage in Zionsville. Cheers to spring and almost summer!

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor enhancements in Zionsville

Commentary by Larry Greene

Built in Zionsville’s Austin Oaks section in 1999, this home’s owners were looking to make their outdoor space more dynamic. Our design included space for entertaining and protection from the elements while featuring low-maintenance materials that make upkeep a breeze.

THE BLUEPRINT

• The existing raised deck was removed and a screened porch, new deck and ground-level patio were built in its place.

• The new porch provides protection from the sun, rain and insects while the stone fireplace can provide a relaxing ambiance and warmth to extend outdoor enjoyment through the fall.

• An outdoor kitchen and integrated storage were added to make entertaining, meal prep and cleanup a breeze. Trex composite decking provides the look of natural wood with minimal maintenance and added durability.

• Roofing, siding and soffits were carefully crafted to match the home’s façade, ensuring the new porch blends seamlessly into the existing aesthetic.

Home tour benefits Eskenazi Health

By Mary Farucci news@yoaurecurrent.com

Established in 1961, the Decorators’ Show House & Gardens nonprofit is celebrating its 63rd anniversary with its signature fundraising event with a tour of the historic Sylvan House at Northern Estates on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

EVENT

Built in 1927, the Tudor-style home will be open for tours April 27 through May 12

Presented by the nonprofit St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild, a volunteer organization that raises funds and services for Eskenazi Health, the annual Decorators’ Show House & Gardens is the longest-running show house event in the U.S. It is also the organization’s largest fundraiser for the John & Kathy Ackerman Mental health Professional Development Center at Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center.

Mandy Heslin, president of the St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild, said the organization’s fundraising efforts are in the third year of a four-year partnership with Eskenazi Health. The goal is to raise $1 million for

the John and Kathy Ackerman Center for Professional Development at the Sandra Eskenazi Health Center.

Homes chosen for the annual tour, such as the Sylvan House, are selected through a process that includes meeting specific criteria.

“A lot of the homes used for the Show House are typically historical,” Heslin said. “They all have some sort of interesting feature.”

All featured homes must have four or more bedrooms. They also must have a front and back staircase for flow and have between 8,000 to 12,000 square feet of space, with 10,000 square feet being the average. For those reasons, many of the homes that are selected are on Meridian Street, Pennsylvania Street or Washington Boulevard because they meet the criteria.

Besides the home tour, the two-week Decorators’ Show House & Gardens event includes live music, food for purchase and floral arrangement, among other attractions.
