Holliday Farms retail buidling proposed By Marney Simon news@youarecurrent.com The next retail development at Holliday Farms has been introduced in Zionsville. Five Blue Voyage, LLC, is proposing The Shoppes at Holliday Farms, an 11,465-square-foot, multitenant building on 1.1 acres in the Holliday Farms PUD on U.S. 421/Michigan Road, just south of Starbucks. A public hearing on the project was held before the Zionsville Plan Commission Dec. 15. According to the staff report, the architecture of the proposed building is contemporary, which is not in alignment with the PUD’s Michigan Road overlay standards. The standards require new construction on Michigan Road to be inspired by classic elements from the Main Street architecture found throughout New England and Colonial Williamsburg. The report noted that the Holliday Farms architectural review board is in support of the design. Attorney Jeff Jacob of Hackman Hulett, representing the petitioner,

said the contemporary design is complementary to other new construction in the area, in particular the adjacent Starbucks store. “We really have tried to pick up elements of the visual depictions of the PUD (and) the Starbucks,” he said. “We tried to harmonize those because they will be adjacent to one another. Some of the other items we’ve done (are), we’ve tried to use somewhat of a muted color palette, the lighting fixtures are rustic, and we’ve also tried to create some depth to the project with the frontage

offsets.” There were no comments during the public hearing, but members of the plan commission expressed concerns over the placement of the Dumpster in the front of the building, pedestrian connectivity on Michigan Road, building materials and varying height of the facade. The item was continued to the Jan. 20, Plan Commission meeting to address potential updates to the proposal. The commission meets at 6:30 p.m. at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St.

Plan commission approves updated Honda dealership designs By Marney Simon news@youarecurrent.com Tom Wood Automotive will move ahead with a Honda dealership on Crane Drive near I-65 and Whitestown Parkway after revised documents were approved Dec. 15 by the Zionsville Plan Commission. Plans to construct a Honda dealership on 9.8 acres just north of Tom Wood Toyota in Zionsville were presented to the commission last month, but members asked for facade updates to line up with requirements of the town’s I-65 overlay district. The revised plans include additional windows, paint, door coverings and stamped concrete. “It’s a nice improvement,” member Brad Johnson said. “The north facade is a little bit plain, but honestly it’s much improved from what we saw before.” The approved development plan in-

Worried About ACA Subsidy Changes? You’re Not Out of Options.

Dr. Susan Jacob

f you’re feeling uneasy about the future of your healthcare coverage, you’re not alone. With ongoing discussions around changes to Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, many individuals and families are wondering what rising premiums could mean for their budgets— and their access to care. Uncertainty in healthcare can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: you’re not limited to one path, and you don’t have to wait for changes to take effect before exploring better options. When Traditional Insurance Feels Unpredictable Whether you’re self-employed, a small business owner, or an employee working fulltime for a company that offers health insurance, traditional coverage doesn’t always meet real-life needs. High monthly premiums, limited access to providers, and out-of-pocket costs often prevent people from getting care when they actually need it. Potential changes to ACA subsidies may add another layer of uncertainty, making it the

right time to rethink how you approach healthcare. Direct Primary Care: Everyday Care, Done Differently Direct Primary Care (DPC) focuses on what most people use healthcare for throughout the year— routine visits, preventive care, chronic condition management, and quick access when something doesn’t feel right. With a FreedomDoc Health membership, patients receive: • Unlimited primary care visits for a simple monthly fee • Same-day or next-day appointments • Longer visits and direct access to their physician • No copays, no surprise bills, and no insurance interference A DPC membership gives you a dependable starting point for care, covering the visits and support people use most—without the complexity of traditional insurance. Health Shares: Protection for Major Medical Events For coverage beyond everyday care, many people choose to pair DPC with a healthshare. Healthshare programs allow members to participate in a community that helps share the cost of larger medical expenses such as hospitalizations or surgeries. This approach makes sense because: • DPC covers routine and ongoing healthcare needs

• Healthshares help manage unexpected, high-cost events • Monthly costs are often more predictable than traditional insurance A Solution That Meets You Where You Are At FreedomDoc Health, we know healthcare decisions aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re employed, running a small business, or building your career, you deserve a healthcare experience that works for you — both financially and personally. If you’re concerned about ACA subsidy changes—or simply want a clearer, more accessible healthcare solution — FreedomDoc Health is here to help you explore what’s possible. Reach out to learn how Direct Primary Care and healthshares can work together for you. Your healthcare can be simpler, more personal, and more predictable.

New nonprofit focuses on water safety, competition By Rasha Aly news@youarecurrent.com Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and a new Zionsville nonprofit is diving in to combat that statistic through swimming lessons. Retired architect Eileen Davis, 72, and contract remodeler Jim Barber are the driving forces behind the newly approved nonprofit, Friends of Zionsville Swimming, Inc., which recently completed its approval process with the IRS. “The mission of the program is to help swimming, in general,” Davis said. The organization aims to provide life-safety skills, swimming lessons, fitness classes and specialized services for adults and children with special needs, while also improving access for those with disabilities. Both Davis and Barber, 56, are U.S. Masters swimmers with ties to the local aquatic community, having served on the board of the Zionsville-based Azionaqua Swim Club. They noticed a critical funding issue. Although the club is technically a nonprofit, its membership structure prevents it from receiving tax-exempt status under IRS rules. Davis and Barber realized that an independent,

tax-exempt nonprofit was needed to provide financial assistance to update services and infrastructure. The nonprofit has another goal: to help the Zionsville club become more competitive against strong programs in surrounding communities such as Carmel. Carmel High School’s girls were named the Swimming World’s national high school champion this year, and the boys won their 10th-straight IHSAA Boys Swimming and Diving title in 2024. Still, Zionsville is gaining ground. Zionsville Swim Club alum Jake Tarrara won the 100-yard freestyle in 43.94 seconds at the IHSAA competition March 1 and placed second in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 20.09 seconds. Friends of Zionsville Swimming, Inc. plans to host its first major fundraiser near the end of summer 2026, with a goal of raising $50,000. The new nonprofit is led by a three-member board: Barber is president, Davis is secretary and Jeff Curiel is the treasurer. An eight-member steering committee comprises Curiel, Davis, Barber, Harry Smolen, Eric Meyer, Margaret Yde, Lisa Brown and Lisa Stepsis. For more, visit friendszvilleswim. org.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Zionsville seeks public input on downtown road project plans

By Marney Simon news@youarecurrent.com The Town of Zionsville is preparing to begin a $10 million project to revamp the entrance into its historic downtown. And it wants the public to weigh in. The town held the first of two public meetings last month on the downtown road and pedestrian improvement project, with a second planned for Jan. 13. Zionsville Mayor John Stehr said a revamp of Village streets has been a discussion item for town officials for years. He said Zionsville’s Village road network just isn’t working anymore. “The road grid down there was set up for trains before cars were even invented,” he said. “We need to have a more modern way to look at that and a more modern way to get traffic through.” Stehr said the concept plan — which includes a dogbone-shaped roundabout connecting Sycamore Street to Main and First streets — will keep vehicles moving in what is currently standstill traffic during peak travel hours. “It will be more efficient not only for the traffic, but also to get people on Main Street,” he said. “It will be safer for pedestrians and it’ll be visually pleasing. Those are all the goals we’re trying to reach.” Business owners in the Village said they are on board with changes — but only those that keep the thriving business district in mind. Erica Carpenter and Tom Casalini are members of the Main Street Zionsville organization’s board of directors. The pair said they intend to advocate for protections for local businesses — to make sure the roadwork does not push traffic away from the business district. “I think it’s obviously exciting and we want the Village to continue to grow and thrive, but it needs to look like Zionsville, it needs to act like Zionsville, and it needs to not be detrimental to the 180 businesses that are already there during construction or after the fact,” said Carpenter, who owns Fivethirty Home. “We just want to (be) sure that they have our input, so they recognize that what we need is support during this time and also great communica-

tion. For us, it’s getting people to, not getting people through.” Casalini said a concern for Main Street Zionsville — a nonprofit created in 2024 to foster economic growth and support local businesses in downtown Zionsville — is making sure the road realignment supports economic development in the Village, not just traffic flow. “This is a project that’s going to last for 100 years,” he said. “It’s so important that that be done correctly and creatively. The solutions they have now don’t seem to work. That just means that they have to look for more creative

people and not use the same solutions over and over again to try to get them to fit into every situation. We’re in a unique situation, so we may need a unique solution.” Carpenter also pointed to the town’s comprehensive plan, which is expected to come to the Zionsville Town Council for consideration soon. She said the plan points to the importance of “activity centers” throughout Zionsville. “Main Street Zionsville is Zionsville’s flagship activity center,” she said. “I think making sure that we all — the citizens, the business owners, the town itself — let’s make sure that we are

INDIANA MAIN STREET COMMUNITY Representatives from the nonprofit Main Street Zionsville said the town holds a unique position compared to other historic districts in Indiana — a 100 percent occupancy rate. “It’s really a testament to not only our town and the people who live here but obviously the business owners in our very vital district,” said Erica Carpenter, owner of Fivethirty Home and president of the Main Street Zionsville board of directors. Casalini Portraits owner Tom Casalini, who serves as vice president of the Main Street Zionsville Board, said the organization will speak on behalf of the business district as road reconstruction

plans move ahead. “I think one thing that kind of gets glossed over is that we only occupy five blocks and we have 180 businesses within those five blocks,” he said “We have over 1,000 people. Their livelihoods depend on this. Sometimes within the excitement of getting this done, the humanity of that is lost. We are demanding the respect that those businesses require, because we are the largest economic development in Zionsville and we want to be treated that way and thought of in that same regard.” Learn more about Main Street Zionsville at mainstreetzionsville.org.

treating it and ensuring that it — for years and generations to come — is still thriving." Stehr said the road project is in the conceptual stage, with details yet to be worked out. “I really believe that the more we get people involved, the more input we get, the better it is for everybody, because this is not just a road project. This is a legacy project for Zionsville,” he said. “It’s a way to help Zionsville prosper in the future. It’s always better when we get more voices involved and hear what people have to say.” Stehr also said city officials understand that some residents might be hesitant when it comes to a major project in the town’s historic center, but the work is necessary. “Change is hard. It’s hard for everybody,” he said. “I have concerns, too. I live in the Village, and I want this to be good. I want this to be positive, and I think this is the way to get there — by getting different ideas and different thoughts and hearing what people have to say." Stehr said as the town continues to collect input from the public on the design, plans will move ahead for preliminary and final engineering, utility relocation planning and right-of-way acquisitions. A portion of the $10 million project will be paid for with state-issued READI 2.0 grant funds. The $4 million allocation was announced in 2024. “We’re here to listen and incorporate community feedback,” Stehr said. “Safety, accessibility and preserving Zionsville’s character are at the heart of this work, and this is really part of a broader vision for connected downtown that will support the Village for generations.” Design concepts and plans can be viewed at tinyurl.com/3hx7fh63. Comments also can be submitted. The next meeting is 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 13 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St. ON THE COVER: Concept plans for road improvements include a dogbone-shaped roundabout and pedestrian connectivity upgrades. (Photo by Marney Simon)

news@currentnoblesville.com The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis reported in late December that single-family building permit activity across central Indiana remained stable through November, with total permits year-to-date remaining closely aligned to 2024 levels. According to an announcement from BAGI, the region recorded 9,356 permits for the year through November, compared to 9,378 during the same period last year — a marginal year-over-year difference that reflects a stable market. “Central Indiana’s housing market is transitioning into a more cautious phase,” stated BAGI CEO Chris Hancock. “Builders are responding to economic conditions with discipline, scaling production appropriately, staying aligned with local demand and prioritizing long term market stability as we move (into) 2026.”

For the month of November, Hamilton County led the field in new home permits, totaling 172. Marion County followed with 125, Hendricks County had 85 and Boone County totaled 53. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, national single-family permits and housing starts have declined year-over-year in recent months, while analysis from the National Association of Home Builders shows builders across the nation continuing to pull back amid higher financing costs, slower buyer traffic and ongoing economic uncertainty. “While national markets have experienced sharper pullbacks, central Indiana has remained comparatively steady on a year-to-date basis,” Hancock stated. “Population growth and relative affordability compared to larger metropolitan areas continue to support baseline housing demand in our region.” For more, visit bagi.com.

Eye myths busted, Part 1 Commentary by Dr. Amy Iddins “If you sit too close to the TV, you’ll ruin your eyes!” Sound familiar? Most of us have heard this at some point, usually from a well-meaning parent or grandparent. Over the years, countless “eye facts” have been passed down, but many don’t hold up to modern science. Let’s take a look at a few of the most common myths I hear as an optometrist — and what the truth really is. Myth 1: Sitting too close to the TV damages your eyes Good news — there’s no scientific evidence to back this one up! Both the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Optometric Association confirm that sitting close to the TV may cause temporary eye strain or fatigue, but it won’t cause permanent damage. This myth likely started decades ago, when older cathode ray tube TVs emitted small amounts of radiation. Today’s LED, LCD and OLED screens are completely safe for close viewing. Myth 2: Reading in dim

light harms your vision Although reading in low light can make your eyes feel tired, it won’t cause any lasting damage. Your eyes might work a bit harder to focus, but that’s about it. If you prefer brighter lighting for comfort, go for it — but rest assured, your eyesight isn’t at risk. Myth 3: Wearing glasses makes your eyes weaker Not true! Glasses don’t change the structure of your eyes or make them “lazy.” They simply correct your focus, helping you see more clearly. If you need glasses, wearing them won’t make your prescription worse — it’ll just make your world sharper. Hopefully, busting these common myths brings some peace of mind — and maybe even gives you a few fun facts to share at your next family dinner!

FHS graduate creates 1st film By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Theonysios “Niso” Kapsalishas found his calling. “I found this passion for filmmaking in 2017 and once the passion took off, it never left,” Kapsalis said. “I always knew whether I was 22 or 92, I would be doing film work full time.” A 2020 Fishers High School graduate, Kapsalis is producing his debut film, “Trade Off” through his production company, Boiling Cactus Productions. It was filmed in June 2025 during a seven-day period in Fishers, Bloomington and Muncie. “This is the biggest and would be the first type of larger production for me and for the studio as well,” he said. Kapsalis wrote the script and was the director and executive producer for the 80-minute film. He said he plans to finish the film by the end of February and prepare it for film festivals in the fall. “The film is about two close friends, Ledger and Rash, who are moronic in their own sense,” he said. “They both have an investment opportunity that they are presented with. They are two very unserious characters who get themselves into very serious situations. It has that contrast of comedy and light-heartedness and then these real situations where they tense up and the audience will tense up. These guys aren’t thinking about their next move. They are just go, go, go. One of them acts more impulsively and is very persuasive.” Kapsalis said the characters are mean to each other with a brotherly dynamic. There are 14 actors in the film, with Christian Elijah Leighty as Ledger and Austin Veal as Rash. They are both Indianapolis residents. Kapsalis said they have both worked on different independent productions throughout Indiana. Miles Anderson, a veteran British stage and screen actor, has the other key role. “He’s a very creepy character and

All performances are at 7:30 p.m. For more, visit feinsteinshc.com.

has two prominent scenes,” Kapsalis said. “He is an ominous character, and he gives the energy he can do anything drastic at any moment.” Anderson, who has numerous film and TV credits, had roles in “La La Land” and “The Tragedy of Macbeth” with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. The assistant director is Ben Johnson, Kapsalis’ good friend and a Fishers High School graduate. “The project to me is more than just about the film, it’s uplifting the arts community in Indiana,”Kapsalis said. “We have 15 different artists creating merchandise for the film that we will sell for the film — pins, hats, stickers, as well as local artists creating our posters. We have an Indianapolis jazz band, 2LIFETAVERN, creating our score.” Kapsalis said 80 percent of the $15,000 budget went to paying cast and crew. Kapsalis has eight years of experi-

ence running different independent film sets. “Independent filmmaking is something I’m very comfortable with as well as my crew,” he said. After graduating from FHS, Kapsalis originally planned to attend Columbia College Chicago. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to take classes at Indiana University. “I decided that college was not the space for me to grow, so I dropped out of college after one semester at IU,” he said. Kapsalis worked at remote jobs in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. He began living in Indianapolis in 2023 and started the production company in June 2023. Kapsalis, whose father Dan Kapsalis won a state title as Carmel High School soccer coach in 2006, played soccer growing up and one season for FHS. He played the Frisbee game ultimate with friends during his final two years in high school.

editorial@youarecurrent.com The Indianapolis Children’s Choir is hosting a low-cost, music-filled event for children in preschool through third grade Jan. 24 at the ICC Performing Arts Center, 9111 Allisonville Rd., Indianapolis. The “Day of Song” is an event where families can enroll children in a short, one-day program and tour the center to learn more about the ICC’s program offerings. Music programming will run at various times based on age groups from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and require preregistration for the organization to prepare materials and staff in advance. “The ‘Day of Song’ is really our answer to a community need — which is easier access to music education starting at a young age,” ICC Executive Director Joshua Pedde stated. Registration costs have been kept to a minimum, according to the ICC, to allow more families to participate, plus IPS students and Access Pass holders can register for free by calling the ICC offices to register at 317-940-9640 or by emailing lsouthard@icchoir.org with proof of IPS or Access Pass enrollment.

Keeping up appearances Commentary by Terry Anker British television comedies can deliver a wry and uproarious approach to ensuring a good belly laugh. Certainly, American television takes the lead as the most important and watched by those us of seeking a weekly smile. But as anyone who giggled as “The Young Ones” fumbled through the “rebellious” punk scene of the 1980s, when Rick tried to keep order, even as he claimed to be a modern anarchist, or grinned as Mr. Humphries pushed boundaries with clever double-entendres standing behind the men’s counter in the hilarious 1970s “Are You Being Served” will tell you, the Brits may have lost an empire but not their sense of humor. A standout in the 1990s told the story of the beleaguered Hyacinth Bucket, a decidedly working-class woman with aims of more, who confronted constant setbacks on the road to fulfilling her hopes of “Keeping Up Appearances.” Like so many of us, she discovers it is much easier to seek than to accomplish. Even as we accumulate

status, relationships, real estate, or virtually any object, the acquisition is only the beginning. Even as Mrs. Bucket’s perfectly pressed pleats and painstakingly selected biscuits were invariably overtaken by a boorish relative or unintended faux pas each week, she still marched directly into the headwind, confident that she could make her ambition a reality. What is it that bolsters some of us to fight the fight with a seemingly endless font of energy while others are fatigued at the slightest inconvenience? How many times have we made the bed, washed the dish, combed our hair and called our mother? If we have to pick up their shoes one more time, divorce may be required! When it comes to appearances, is the aspiration more motivating than the upkeep?

I’ll never guess what I got you for Christmas Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Every year around this time, I choose a favorite holiday column from the past 25 years and share it with my readers. This might be my all-time favorite. It’s a true story This story begins when the UPS truck pulled up to our curb. My wife Mary Ellen and I saw the driver struggling with a huge carton the size of a big-screen TV. He maneuvered it to the front porch and left it leaning against the door. I went outside to look at it. Labels can be misleading. Some of our credit cards are in my name, and some are in Mary Ellen’s, so when a delivery is made, we’re not sure who ordered it or who the gift is ultimately for. If the wrong person opens it, there goes the surprise meant for Christmas morning. “It says it’s for me,” I told her. “But I have absolutely no recollection of ordering anything so big. Maybe you ordered it, Mary Ellen.” That started the strangest conversation in our 45 years of marriage. “Dick, I know what it is. It’s that special item I mentioned two months ago that I wanted for Christmas. You said you found it in a catalog. Don’t you remember? I’m so excited! Thank you.” “I have absolutely no idea what it is. Can you give me a hint?” “No, I can’t give you a hint. That would ruin the surprise.” “Ruin the surprise? Ruin the surprise? The gift is for you! It’s supposed to be your surprise. But you already know what it is. I’m the one who

doesn’t have a clue.” “It doesn’t seem right to tell you. That’s not in keeping with the spirit of giving, Dick.” “OK, how about if you whisper softly in my ear and I promise I won’t tell you what you said.” It scared me a little that, for a brief moment, this actually made sense. It was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember what I bought her. “Is it a high-tech item?” I asked. “Not really,” she said. “Do you plug it in?” “No.” “Is it artwork?” “No, not even close. But I don’t want to play anymore. If you guess it, I’ll have nothing to look forward to on Christmas morning. I want to see the expression on your face when I open it.” Later that morning when Mary Ellen went out grocery shopping, I opened the box. Let me tell you, it was a really neat present. I don’t think I have ever been happier with something I bought my wife. Before Mary Ellen got home, I resealed it, then gift-wrapped it and placed it under the tree. Of course, now we both knew what was in the package. It will still be a surprise on Christmas morning, as long as we can both keep a secret.
