Indy-based nonprofit trains shelter pets to become medical service dogs
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
An Indianapolis-based nonprofit organization is helping dogs and people through its mission to take dogs from shelters and rescue organizations and then train them to be certified medical service dogs for people living with a variety of physical and mental health conditions.
ANIMALS
Medical Mutts was founded in 2013 by Jennifer Cattet and her husband, Jack Topham. Cattet said she started training dogs when she was 18 — about 40 years ago — and previously worked for a different nonprofit that runs a prison-based dog program.
“I became a trainer because of my love of dogs and also because it was really a harsh reality to face how many dogs are surrendered every year and euthanized, because our relationship with dogs is not as positive and rosy as we would want it to be,” she said. “The dogs are ending up in shelters because dog lovers are breeding them or buying them or surrendering them. … When we founded Medical Mutts, we wanted to find a way to pull dogs out of a difficult situation, give them a wonderful life where they’re not going to be surrendered again, where they’re going to be placed with a person who really knows what they’re doing.”
The organization not only trains dogs. It works with its clients to make sure they understand their responsibilities.
“The dog gets a really good-quality home and then the person gets a dog that is going to help them,” Cattet said, “We’re trying to create teams where the dog and the person really rely on each other and where they’re going to be able to grow together and together have a better life. So, we really wanted to help on both ends of the leash.”
Traditionally, service dogs are bred for the work — mostly Labrador or golden retrievers. Cattet said taking primarily mixedbreed shelter dogs was a “little bit of a bet,” but one that has paid off for the nonprofit. Medical Mutts trainers visit shelters and carefully assess dogs who might succeed. They look for young dogs between 1 and 2 years old, with friendly, loving dispositions that are not timid or easily spooked and have a deep love of treats.
“All of our dogs are trained with treats, and we want dogs that are very motivated, because some of these dogs are going to have to wake up in the middle of the night to alert somebody,” Cattet said. “If somebody’s glucose level is going down in the middle of the night, or some child is having a seizure and the dog has to wake up, that dog has to be motivated enough to get out of their bed and do their job.”
Even with a thorough screening, not all of the dogs chosen for the program become service dogs. Abby Harlan, development director for Medical Mutts, said that — similar to programs that train dogs bred specifically for service work — only about 30 percent of the dogs that start training with Medical Mutts graduate from the program. The rest are available for adoption — still a win-win for the dogs and the families they end up with, especially since Medical Mutts dogs have gone through that initial screening, a quarantine period to make sure they are healthy and veterinary care, including vaccines.
“All dogs are good dogs, right? But we really have some adoptable dogs that may
have better temperaments or be better with kids or cats,” Harlan said. “Whereas, you don’t necessarily always know what you’re getting when you go to a city shelter.”
Medical Mutts has a resident cat named Marvin — also adopted from a shelter — whose job is to greet visitors, provide stress relief through gentle head butts and purrs, and test how well the dogs react to a cat.
Amway, an extremely happy Labrador retriever mix, is on track to graduate and will be assisting a person with clinical anxiety. Director of Training Eva Rudisile guided Amway through some of the skills he’s learned, such as pushing an alert button with his nose, nudging an arm to distract from certain behaviors — such as a person scratching in a way that could cause harm — and getting onto a person’s lap to provide not only a calming weight but something better to do with their hands — petting a dog.

Man charged with attempted murder
An Anderson man was arrested late June 21 and charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend — who was holding their infant at the time of the incident — at a Fishers residence.
CRIME
According to an announcement from the Fishers Police Department, officers responded earlier that day to the 9300 block of Benton Drive after the report of a shooting.
“Officers arrived to find a female victim who had been shot multiple times,” the announcement stated. “The victim was holding an infant at the time. Officers immediately rendered aid to the victims until EMS arrived and transported them to a local hospital.”
The woman required surgery and was reported to be in stable condition and recovering. The infant had minor abrasions.
The former boyfriend, Giovanny Javier De Jesus De Jesus, 21, of Anderson, allegedly fled the scene before officers arrived.
Witnesses gave police a description of the suspect and his car.
“While our team was working to find De Jesus, he turned himself in to the Decatur Police Department just before 11 p.m. on June 21,” the announcement stated. “The Fishers Police Department was notified and our officers took De Jesus into custody from Decatur Police. De Jesus was transported directly to the Hamilton County Jail.”
De Jesus faces five felony charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery, intimidation with a deadly weapon, criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and pointing a firearm at another person, according to the jail website. At deadline, bond had not yet been set.

Mayor’s Youth Academy proposes zip line
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
Participants in the annual Fishers Mayor’s Youth Academy program went before the Fishers City Council June 16 to propose a zip line facility for the city’s new White River Park, which is set to open later this year.
GOVERNMENT
Fishers High School student Zoey Newell introduced their policy proposal to the council.
“This idea is inspired by one of our group members’ visit to a zip line in Eagle Creek, something that he very much enjoyed,” she said. “And so, a zip line in Fishers would be a fun, interesting and new way to get residents outside and participate in their community. And zip lines are appealing to residents of all ages — something that was a priority for this question — and something many people probably have not gotten the chance to experience. Getting involved in the outdoors provides a great way to relieve stress that takes some time away from screens and technology and additionally, the zip line can serve as a way for families, friends and workplaces to come together and develop their communities through different activities.”
The group chose White River Park as the preferred location because it has the space and landscaping needed to support a zip line facility. They researched the cost of developing a zip line and provided two options for city officials to consider: Building a city-owned and operated zip line or leasing the space for a private company to build and operate.
If the city built the facility, the students
estimated it would cost $2.1 million. The benefits of a city-owned facility include keeping ticket prices affordable. Private leasing would not cost the city anything, but the city then would not be able to control prices.
Council President Pete Peterson thanked the students for the idea and said he has been an advocate of a zip line in Fishers for a while.
The Mayor’s Youth Academy program gives local high students hands-on opportunities to experience and learn about local government and nonprofits. Mayor’s Youth Academy members work with Mayor Scott Fadness and city leaders on public policy projects, with the chance to present a project to the Fishers City Council each spring. Participating students typically meet for a full day once a month.

Split Fishers City Council OKs Gerardot rezone
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
In a split vote June 16, the Fishers City Council voted 6-2 to approve a rezone allowing a new residential development off Cumberland Road just north of Deering Street.
GOVERNMENT
The Gerardot Neighborhood came before the Fishers Plan Commission in April, which split 4-4 on the rezone and forwarded the matter to the council without a recommendation.
During council discussion before the vote, Councilor Brad DeReamer — who also is a Plan Commission member — noted that during the Plan Commission meeting, neighboring residents showed up to express opposition to the Pulte Homes project, primarily citing concerns about drainage and losing greenspace. He had voted against the rezone during the Plan Commission meeting and reiterated his objections, which focused on the narrow setbacks — space between the home and the property line.
The site already was zoned for residential development, but that zoning required at least 15 feet from the lot line to the home. Since the Plan Commission meeting, the planned setbacks were reduced even more — from 7 to 3 feet on one side of the homes — because designs changed to provide side-facing garages.
“You can’t even put an HVAC unit beside that house with a 3-foot size setback,” DeReamer said during the council
meeting. “I was elected to represent the residents and the residents do not want this … Let’s just get rid of our zoning ordinance and let the developers do what they want — this is getting ridiculous and I’m against this one, again, trying to represent the people that put me in the office.”
Other councilors thanked Pulte Homes officials for working with the city and changing the designs to include side-facing garages. A representative from the developer also noted that drainage from the site should actually im-
prove following development because of landscaping that will direct water to a planned retaining pond.
Pulte Homes plans to build 21 homes on the approximately 9.15-acre site that has been a single-home lot with an equestrian barn. Plans call for a single street with a cul de sac at the east end and a retention pond on the west side of the property adjacent to Cumberland Road. Bill Stuart, participating via phone, joined DeReamer in voting against the rezone.

Longtime Indy-area track coach inducted into Hall of Fame
By David Jacobs david@youarecurrent.com
Kevin Horrigan has spent more than 40 years teaching, coaching and serving as athletic director at several Indianapolis-area high schools, including Bishop Chatard, Brebeuf Jesuit, Lawrence Central, Greenfield-Central, and is still an assistant coach at Guerin Catholic.
ACHIEVEMENT
The longstanding fixture at Indianapolis-area track meets is a member of the Indiana Track and Field and Cross Country Hall of Fame. He was inducted June 21.
“It’s very humbling,” the 72-year-old Lawrence resident said. “I don’t know that I’m necessarily worthy of it. When I look at people in the Hall of Fame, there are some great athletes, coaches, Olympians and contributors to the sport. I’m honored to be affiliated with them.”
It was not until his college days at Bellarmine University when the 1970 Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School graduate was student-teaching in Louisville at St. Xavier High School that coaching became an ambition.
“My supervising teacher, Joe Heitzman, was the head cross country and track coach,” Horrigan said. “He soon let me be a part of his (coaching) staff as a volunteer, and that year St. Xavier won both the cross country and track state championships. That got me going, but when I started teaching at St. Andrew’s (grade school), we didn’t have enough kids come out for baseball. I talked to a bunch of them and they wanted to (form) a track team, which we didn’t have, so I coached the track team as part of the Catholic Youth Organization, and my team won the C-level city championship.”
Following the grade school city championship, Horrigan won city and sectional championships at the high school level at Bishop Chatard.
“The thrill (of coaching) that I experi-

enced was having your athletes do very well, winning meets, because you’re trying to beat the other kids,” Horrigan said. “But I always found it fascinating to see a kid, who may be the last kid on your team, have a breakthrough and get a personal best. For me, that was worth celebrating just as much as somebody winning a state title.”
In 1976, Horrigan began officiating and has worked nearly 700 meets, including the Pan Am Games, NCAA Championships and last year’s Big Ten Indoor Championships.
Horrigan still enjoys coaching and works primarily with Guerin Catholic’s high jumpers, long jumpers and pole vaulters.
“I’m still coaching, loving it and having a good time,” Horrigan said. “When I was doing my student teaching, I certainly would not have imagined that I would have coached state champions and All-Americans and have a 50-year career with coaching and officiating. It’s an extreme honor to be getting inducted.”

Community MD Anderson’s Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Institute
The future of cancer care lies in delivering truly comprehensive treatment for patients – a commitment embodied by Community Health Network MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Institute (SCTCTI). Built on a foundation of clinical excellence and an experienced team led by medical director, Dr. Sherif Farag, the program offers both allogeneic and autologous blood stem cell transplants and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, providing eligible patients with cancer, hematologic diseases and autoimmune disorders access to potentially curative treatments.
Autologous blood stem cell transplants use a patient’s own stem cells to replace those destroyed by high-dose chemotherapy used to treat their cancer. This treatment is typically recommended for select patients with cancers still sensitive to chemotherapy at lower doses. Allogeneic blood stem cell transplants replace a patient’s stem and immune cells with healthy
cells from a donor, providing an immunological response that can target selected or chemotherapyresistant cancers.
SCTCTI also offers CAR T-cell therapy, a personalized treatment that engineers a patient’s own immune cells to more effectively target cancer. CAR T therapy inserts a new gene into T-cells collected from

the blood — improving their ability to target cancer cells. The modified cells (called CAR T-cells) are then infused into a patient after chemotherapy to begin fighting cancer. An approved treatment for specific blood cancers, CAR T therapy represents an innovative approach for improved outcomes and potentially a cure.
Most importantly, SCTCTI is built on a foundation of offering the best therapies with safety and vigilant monitoring. The team uses evidencebased, multidisciplinary practice to offer patients the best available treatment options and real-time data tracking for prevention and early recognition of complications such as graft-versus-host disease, infections, etc. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the program provides comprehensive services to support patients before, during and after their treatment.
This is just the beginning of Community MD Anderson’s effort to enhance the continuum of cancer care, with more advanced therapies set to follow in the near future.
Dr. Sherif Farag serves as the medical director of the Community Health Network MD Anderson Cancer Center Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy program. He specializes in the treatment of blood cancers, stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies.
Senior communities seek to accommodate ‘missing middle’
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
For senior communities such as Ritchey Reserve, Sade Hearns views it as increasingly essential to keep costs down.
SENIOR LIVING
“As the 55-plus population booms, there’s a huge demand for affordable senior housing that doesn’t feel like a downgrade,” said Hearns, director of property management for RItchey Reserve in Fishers. “Seniors want comfort, connection and amenities without sacrificing affordability. This isn’t a luxury; it’s an expectation.”
Hearns said it’s important to hit the “missing middle” of seniors who want upscale independence without overpaying.
Ritchey Reserve is at 7889 E 106th St. in the Nickel Plate District in Fishers. The community is near the Nickel Plate Trail, amphitheater, shopping, health care and the Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve.
Amenities include a clubhouse with coffee bar, concierge service, package delivery, controlled access, elevators, guest suite and community events.
Ritchey Reserve dog owners have a perk, “A dog park and dog spa is definitely a rare amenity,” Hearns said. “The pet spas have a wash station equipped with easy-touse tubs — perfect for a post-walk rinse.”
It’s definitely a convenience for dog owners.
“Instead of hauling your dog to an offsite groomer, everything’s on-site — grooming, running and socializing, all without stepping outside the community,” Hearns said.
Ritchey Reserve resident Gloria Miller
appreciates the amenity.
“It’s a great place to let your dog run off-leash and relax with you on the bench,” Miller said.
The senior living community provides ways for residents to stay connected through several vibrant groups, including:
• Phone Tree Check-In: Neighbors looking out for neighbors
• Secret Sisters: Organizing fun activities, outings, and birthday celebrations
• Green Thumb Club: For resident gardeners and plant lovers
• Resident Advisory Committee: Providing feedback and helping shape community life
“These groups foster connection, creativity and a strong sense of community,” Hearns said. “Sunday and Thursday night, resident dinners and morning mingles are popular.”
Ritchey Reserve, which is owned by Real America LLC, opened in 2021. It has has one and two-bedroom units available.

HISTORY RECOVERED
Park in Fishers
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The completed restoration of the historic Bell Ford Bridge, a project that’s been in the works for seven years, was celebrated June 19 with a grand-opening ceremony at its new location over Fall Creek at Geist Park in Fishers.
The 325-foot bridge originally was built about 150 years ago in the southern Indiana community of Seymour in Jackson County. It was deemed unsafe about 50 years ago and later fell into the White River. The pieces were fished out of the water and put into storage.
Chris Stice, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation director, told the crowd gathered for the celebration that the restored bridge includes about 90 percent of the original iron castings and 40 percent of the original wooden truss components. It also is the only known combination post-truss bridge remaining in the world.
“This project not only preserves a rare piece of Indiana engineering history but also enhances the connectivity and recreational opportunity for residents,” he said. “It reflects an effective partnership between counties, such as Hamilton County (and) Jackson County; municipalities, such as the City of Fishers; the State of Indiana … (and) private-sector contractors.”
The Hamilton County-led project was spearheaded by County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt, who was all smiles during the ceremony. He said the whole thing started with a plan to build a pedestrian bridge on the other side of Florida Road, but neighborhoods that would be affected didn’t want it there. He told City of Fishers officials that the bridge should be on the Geist Park side of the road and said they responded by appointing him to a committee that would look into the project.
Heirbrandt was introduced to Jim Barker, who has written books about covered bridges, and Barker suggested the committee try to get the Bell Ford Bridge, owned by Jackson County. After a few meetings and conversations, officials from the two counties came to an agreement. Then, Heirbrandt said, Hamilton County officials realized they needed a way to fund the project.
“We scrambled to get our (Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization) grant out, and we got it out — and it was tough,” he said. “We were fighting to get it out on time, but it was one of the highest-scoring projects that was listed and we got the funding — got almost $3 million for this thing.”
rebuilt Bell Ford Bridge has
panels along the sides to allow pedestrians and cyclists to easily see the creek and park.
The county matched the rest of the approximately $7.5 million project.
Drew Markel, a Jackson County commissioner, also spoke during the ceremony. He said people in his county had mixed emotions about giving away the bridge, but Hamilton County had the resources to actually restore it.
IF YOU GO:
The newly opened historic Bell Ford Bridge can be accessed at Geist Park, 10979 Florida Rd., a 17-acre county park next to Fall Creek that has a short nature trail, a launch area for kayaks and canoes and several spots to fish or simply enjoy the river.
The park has a small parking lot, a playground and restroom facilities. Geist Park also is within walking distance of the Fishers AgriPark, operated by the City of Fishers.
For more, visit hamiltoncounty. in.gov/1945/Geist-Park.
“This was a monumental job,” Markel said. “So, I do want to say thank you to everyone here, because your passion is what put the bridge here.”
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said the city is the beneficiary of the county’s work on the project, which completes the city’s 5-mile Geist Greenway Trail.
“I parked my car at the AgriPark (and) there were dozens of young moms with strollers getting out to go harvest today’s produce that might decide to come walk along this trail and enjoy it,” he said. “There are thousands of rooftops and more every day being built all in this area that will enjoy this trail. This trail connects all the way from our northern boundary and will, in the next couple years, connect all the way to our southern boundary, creating really a freeway, if you will, for pedestrians and cyclists in this part of our community.”
Heirbrandt said the bridge turned out better than he imagined and the opening celebration was a satisfying moment.
“Seeing it come to life — it brings a lot of different emotions,” he said. “You want to restore this history, but you want people, not only in our community, but throughout the state (to appreciate it) — we’re going to have people from all over the country coming just to see this and it brings a level of satisfaction to know that I was a small piece of that.”

Building Legacy: Pete Gray Reflects on 30 Years of Executive Homes
By Kirsten Clark
For three decades, Executive Homes has been quietly shaping the landscape of Central Indiana—one carefully crafted luxury home at a time. As the founder and President of Executive Homes, Pete Gray has earned a reputation for his meticulous attention to detail, commitment to quality, and an unshakable focus on what matters most: his clients.
“In the beginning, I really wanted to build homes that felt like they belonged to the people living in them,” Gray reflects. “It was never about being flashy. It was about being faithful to the process—and to the people who trusted me with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.”
Gray founded Executive Homes in 1995 with a clear purpose: to build high-end, high-quality homes with integrity. Over the years, that purpose has guided him through countless builds across Westfield, Carmel, Zionsville, and the surrounding communities—each one a testament to thoughtful design, intentional craftsmanship, and a deeply personalized client journey.
“I’ve always believed that our job isn’t just to build homes,” Gray says. “It’s to build relationships. That starts with listening—really listening—to what people want their life to look like, and then figuring out how to make that happen through the home we build.”
Walk through an Executive Home, and the difference is palpable. From custom woodwork and luxury finishes to open-concept layouts and family-first floorplans, every element is designed with purpose. No detail is too small, no client request too big. It’s this commitment to excellence that has earned Executive Homes a loyal following—including many repeat clients who return for second, third or even fourth homes as their lives evolve.
That distinctive quality resonates deeply with homeowners. Over the years, Gray has heard countless people say that the moment they step into a home, they can tell it was built by Executive Homes.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that repeatedly,” Gray says. “It means we’re creating something recognizable—not just a house, but a feeling of quality and care that stays with people.”
But for Gray, success has never been about quantity.
“We’re not a volume builder,” he says. “That’s by design. We take on a select number of projects each
year because that’s what allows us to stay hands-on, stay involved, and make sure we’re delivering the kind of quality and service people come to us for.”
The very first home he built still stands out in his memory.
“I can picture it clearly,” he says, smiling. “That build taught me that doing things the right way—taking your time, being precise, communicating well—it always pays off. And that mindset has stayed with me ever since.”
Advertorial
Over the past 30 years, Gray has witnessed significant changes in the homebuilding industry. Design trends have come and gone. Technologies have advanced. Customer expectations have evolved. But his core values haven’t wavered.
“The tools have changed, sure. But the foundation of good business hasn’t,” he explains. “People want to work with someone they can trust—someone who’s going to show up, follow through, and make sure the end result reflects their vision, not just ours.”
That collaborative spirit has become a cornerstone of Executive Homes’ approach. Clients are guided through every step of the design-build process—from lot selection and architectural planning to interior finishes and final walkthroughs—with a level of attention and care that is rare in today’s market.
Perhaps the most meaningful evolution in Gray’s journey has been the involvement of his son, Patrick, who has joined the business and has learned the ropes from the ground up.
“Watching him come into this with his own passion and ideas has been very fulfilling,” Gray says. “It’s not just about continuing the business—it’s about continuing the values, the reputation, the way we treat people. That matters to me more than anything.”
Family, in fact, is at the heart of everything Gray does—both at home and at work.
“When you build a home for someone, you become part of their story,” he says. “You’re giving them a place to grow as a family, celebrate milestones, weather hard times. That’s sacred ground, and I don’t take it lightly.”
Looking ahead, Gray remains as motivated as ever.
“There’s still so much I want to do,” he says. “New designs to explore, new ways to improve how we serve our clients. I love the creative challenge of it all.”
When asked what advice he’d offer to someone just entering the field, Gray’s answer is simple but sincere: “Stay focused. Be humble. Learn from the people around you. And always—always—care more about doing the job right than doing it fast.”
Thirty years in, that quiet, steadfast commitment continues to define Executive Homes—and the man behind it. Pete Gray hasn’t just built some of the most beautiful homes in Central Indiana. He’s built a legacy of trust, character, and craftsmanship that will carry on well into the next generation.

As a ‘manner’ of fact
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Five years ago, while the world was in the throes of COVID-19, I started looking through some of my wife’s old cookbooks. I was preparing Mary Ellen for the next pandemic. I also found a couple of editions of books written by manners maven Emily Post, who died in 1960. Very few attended her funeral because people feared they’d wear something inappropriate. Here are some new insights from the second edition, with a few favorites from the first edition.
HUMOR
• Don’t tell guests beforehand if you are serving an unfamiliar dish. It could prejudice them before they even taste it. After the first bite, casually mention that it’s not beef burgundy but gopher goulash.
• In 1930, Emily said you should avoid “promiscuous kissing” at a dinner party. Yes, that’s her exact phrase. I’m no prude, but I agree. At least wait until you have been introduced. Then please wait until after dessert.
• Emily does not like pretension. She is not in favor of saying, “I am going to retire.” She wants you to say, “I am going to sleep.” In 2021, after 40 years on TV, I guess I went to sleep. She also prefers, “Excuse me” to “Pardon me,” unless you have committed a crime and are talking to the president.
• If you visit a friend’s home, you must conform to the habits of your host family — have meals at their hours, eat what is put before you and go to bed according to their schedule. Similar advice is found in “Joining a Cult for Dummies.”
• How about guests who overstay their welcome? Incredibly, the author says it is OK for the host to stifle a yawn. I prefer, “Would you mind dropping
our kids off at school on your way home?”
• If your hostess has not begun to eat, once several people have been served at the table, it is OK to pick up your fork and begin. I tried that once and Mary Ellen also picked up her fork … and stuck it in my thigh.
• “Napkins must be unfolded in your lap,” Emily said. I tried that and Mary Ellen thought I was secretly looking at my cellphone. Talking about folding, Emily Post says never cut your salad. Instead, always fold the lettuce leaves. Fold the lettuce leaves? I can’t even fold a fitted sheet.
• To prevent guests from showing up late, ask them to come about a half hour before you really want them to arrive. If the doorbell rings while you are still in your underwear, rethink the concept.
• The guide says at home to peel a banana halfway down and eat it bite by bite. These rules for humans are pretty much the same as for orangutans.
• Another prohibition: Ms. Post says never to say, “I’m stuffed” after dinner. Growing up, failure to make this observation meant you were disappointed with the food.
• “Overnight visits require written thank-you notes.” We spent five days at my sister’s house in New York recently. We consumed all the food she prepared, we agreed to sleep in her spare room and we let her do our laundry. So far, not a word of thanks from her.
I thought our mother taught us better.

READERS’ VIEWS Schools face funding challenges
Editor,
Hamilton County’s public schools, including those in the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district, consistently rank among the best in the nation. That’s why newly passed bills from the 2025 legislative session that deflect funding from public to private schools are so baffling:
• Senate Enrolled Act 1 requires public schools to share property tax revenue with charter schools that do not face the same level of accountability and local elected control as public schools. HSE will lose 4.5 percent of property taxes in 2026 for an estimated impact of $6.2 million, according to an analysis by WFYI. This will grow to $11.8 million in annual losses by 2028. Local legislators who voted yes were Rep. Todd Huston (R-37), Rep. Chris Jeter (R-88) and Sen. Kyle Walker (R-31); voting no was Rep. Victoria Garcia-Wilburn (D-32).
• House Enrolled Act 1001 eliminates the income cap for eligibility to obtain school vouchers, known as the
Editor,
Indiana Choice Scholarship Program. Any family — regardless of income — may now claim eligibility for state dollars for private schooling via the voucher system. Any voucher money directed to private schools as a result of this law reduces dollar-for-dollar the amount of money local public schools receive. Local legislators who voted yes were Huston, Jeter, Walker and Rep. Alaina Shonkwiler (R-29); voting no was Garcia Wilburn.
As investment in public schools falls, so could our public school ratings. Research shows school system quality is an important factor in determining where families chose to move. Failing to invest in public schools will reduce not only the quality of our children’s education but could negatively impact our community’s overall health.
The results of this session will be felt by the residents of Hamilton County for years to come.

Fund cancer screening
Fatigue and bloating — common complaints for any busy mom — were my only clues. Those could’ve been anything, right? What mom isn’t tired? I remember walking out of the doctor’s office clutching my ultrasound results in total shock, these words ringing in my ears: “Malignant mass.”
At just 37 years old, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 low-grade ovarian cancer. Now out of treatment and almost four years with no evidence of disease, a profound fear lingers. Have I unknowingly passed this disease to my daughters? Could this be caught earlier? I mean, Stage 3? That’s dangerously late. This worry highlights the critical need for early detection. Yet for ovarian cancer, no reliable test currently exists.
As a survivor, I know firsthand how critical early detection and education are. That’s why I am deeply concerned that the president’s proposed budget would eliminate the Center for Disease Control’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. This cut would end not only
essential screening and data programs, but also the Inside Knowledge campaign, which educates women about the signs and symptoms of gynecologic cancers like ovarian cancer, which is notoriously difficult to detect.
In Fiscal Year 2024, Indiana received more than $3.4 million to support cancer prevention, screening and data collection. In addition, 57,640 women in Indiana have received cervical cancer screenings through the CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, resulting in the detection of 63 cervical cancers and 1,785 precancerous conditions.
These programs help Hoosiers catch cancer early, when treatment is most effective and less costly. Eliminating them would put lives at risk and cost taxpayers more in the long run.
I urge Rep. Victoria Spartz and our Hoosier delegation to reject these dangerous cuts. Cancer patients like me are counting on you.

Carmel High School siblings land together on Broadway
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Christopher Ramirez was considering different career path when fate intervened en route to his Broadway debut.
Ramirez is performing in “Real Women Have Curves,” a musical that opened in late April. To make it even sweeter, his sister, Monica Tulia Ramirez, is in the cast. Christopher graduated from Carmel High School in 2009, and Monica is a 2012 CHS graduate.
The stage pairing almost didn’t happen.
“I was interested in exploring other channels of the arts, such as arts administration,” Christopher said. “I was working as executive assistant to the general manager at the Metropolitan Opera. It’s kind of a crazy story. I was going to take a step back from being an actor. I thought I needed to enter this career path because it could be opening some exciting channels of income and future endeavors. It was a bittersweet email to send.”
He sent a long email to his manager and agent, and 30 seconds later his agent called. He asked if his agent had already read the email.
Instead, his agent said he hadn’t and then his manager joined on the phone
“They were calling to tell me I had the role and was going to Broadway with the show,” Christopher said. “It’s one of the classic tales of you are about to leave and get the Broadway call.”
The Ramirez siblings are in the ensemble.
“We cover other roles as typically the ensemble does in Broadway shows, so that’s been really fun,” Monica said. The siblings also rehearse together twice a week.
“Thank God, we love each other,” Monica said.
Monica, who made her Broadway
debut in “Suffs” in 2024, moved to New York after graduating from Ball State University.
Christopher said for his sister to be in back-to-back Broadway shows is a massive accomplishment.
Christopher, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, moved to New York in 2014. Monica lived with him for 3 1/2 years when she first moved to New York.
“We also worked at a restaurant together at one point during that time,” Monica said. “So, we’re pretty locked-in best friends.”
This is the first time they have worked on a show together.
“We get to see each other work in a room, which has been really refreshing,” she said.
Christopher performed in “Real Women Have Curves” at the American Repertory
Theater in Cambridge, Mass,. in late 2023 and early 2024.
“I saw it in January 2024, and it was so incredible,” Monica said. “Christopher found out in the fall of 2024 he was going to go with it to Broadway.”
When Monica found out “Suffs” was going to close in January 2025, she decided to audition for “Real Women Have Curves.”
“Christopher helped and coached me through it, but it was an extensive process,” she said. “I went through five different auditions, including tapes. They combed through everybody to find the perfect people for this, and the fact we’re family members doing a show about families is really nice.”
They also did a short interview together on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
In previewing the show, Christopher and Monica were in a cast piece on the Tony Awards show June 8 on CBS. In addition, they were on “Good Morning America” on ABC, and Christopher appeared on “TODAY” on NBC.
“Real Woman Have Curves,” about a first-generation Mexican American woman who wants to go to college instead of staying with her family, has special meaning because the siblings’ father emigrated to the U.S. from Colombia and their mother is from Illinois.
“We acknowledged the privileges we have that we get to chase our dreams and get to be actors because of the sacrifices our parents made, especially my dad because he had an artistic side,” Christopher said.
But it wasn’t financially feasible for his father, Michael Ramirez, to be an artist while providing for his family.
Christopher, who earned his master’s degree through the University of San Diego’s Old Globe Theater, has acted regionally in California, Houston and Boston, among other places. Monica has worked on several workshop shows while attempting to make a path to Broadway.

Wood Brothers to Rock the Ruins
By Bill Forman editorial@youarecurrent.com
For a dozen-plus years, brothers Chris and Oliver Wood had pursued separate musical paths — Chris in the acclaimed jazz-rooted group, Medeski Martin and Wood and Oliver in King Johnson, which released six albums of blues-infused country, R&B and funk. Finally, in the early 2000s, their paths converged when King Johnson opened a show for Medeski Martin and Wood.
CONCERT
The first time the siblings played together in the same room changed everything for the brothers.
“It was just this weird feeling, like I was looking in a kind of mirror when I was playing with him,” Chris Wood said. “I just saw the way he approached the instrument, like the musical choices, his style. There was something sort of almost creepily familiar.”
Soon the siblings had turned their attention to starting the Wood Brothers, and over the course of nine albums and more than two decades, that musical familiarity
has continued to grow. The Wood Brothers will co-headline with St; Paul & The Broken Bones at 6 p.m. July 10 in the Rock the Ruins series at Holliday Park in Indianapolis.
As a trio with drummer-keyboardist-vocalist Jano Rix, they’ve earned a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album, reached No. 1 on Billboard magazine’s Top Heatseekers chart, and built a loyal fanbase by touring.
The Wood Brothers’ upcoming album “Puff of Smoke” is scheduled to be released Aug. 1.

Six Foot Blonde returns to stage
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Six Foot Blonde has steadily evolved from being a college band to a touring band based in Chicago.
“Touring the country has been a blast,” said Brian Healey, a drummer and one of three Zionsville Community High School graduates in the band. “Seeing new cities, venues and bands really broadens my view of the music scene in the U.S. The fact that we started in a college town means everyone eventually moves away across the country, which means we’ve been seeing familiar faces in most places. But on that note, I know I’m excited to play CarmelFest again. It was a blast last time to play so close to home. Lots of family and friends were able to come see us that weren’t able to before.”
Six Foot Blonde, which is making its second CarmelFest appearance, will perform from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m. July 4 on the Carter Green stage. The band formed at Indiana University in 2021. Julia Rusyniak, the lead singer, and her brother John Alex Rusy-
niak, keyboard player, are the other ZCHS graduates.
“We will be playing mostly original songs, but we always like to throw in a cover here and there,” Julia said. “This year’s schedule has been jam-packed. We are planning out our next tour already and will also be recording throughout the fall/ winter. I think we’ve played 30 shows so far this year. I’m not sure how many we played last year.”
Julia, a 2020 ZCHS graduate, said it is special performing with her brother.
