Former Hoosier governors stress need for respectful dialogue to move forward
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
Three former Indiana governors — including one former U.S. vice president — sat down for a discussion about public service and leadership in front of a packed OneZone Chamber luncheon Jan. 12 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton conference center in Noblesville.
POLITICS
Gov. Mitch Daniels, governor from 2004 to 2012; Vice President Mike Pence, elected governor in 2012 and vice president in 2016; and Gov. Eric Holcomb, elected governor in 2016 and 2020, spoke with OneZone President and CEO Jack Russell to an audience of about 600.
During the discussion, Pence said he was proud of the Trump-Pence administration, even if it didn’t end the way he wanted it to.
After President Trump lost his bid for reelection in 2020, Pence defied Trump’s call to not certify the results of that election. Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, then stormed the U.S. Capitol where that certification was taking place.
Pence said at the June 12 forum that it was a privilege to serve as vice president. Without referencing current events, he added that he believes that the future of democracy depends on civility, character and respect.
Daniels agreed, stating that there are many examples of people in public office who treat their jobs with dignity and respect — even when they vigorously disagree with each other — and that he didn’t think those attributes would remain permanently out of fashion.
“It’s not that long since I left elected office in such a different world (than) today,” he said. “I hope that we’ll have people who, once again, embrace the idea that — yeah, having the right answers, the right policies, that’s important. But character is, too.”
Daniels said Pence displayed “remarkable character” during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and the audience applauded in agreement.
Holcomb, who was recovering from losing his voice during an Indiana Pacers game the night before, agreed that civility will come back — but only if people work to make it happen.
Russell asked his three guests to name the most important issue facing Indiana. Holcomb said there are many issues, but if forced to pick one it would be workforce readiness — making sure Hoosier students are ready for the future. He added that Hamilton County is doing a good job with that.
Pence said the top current issue was the Pacers winning the NBA Finals, eliciting another round of applause from the audience. He noted that the two teams — Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder — are a metaphor for what’s happening in the country, with a stronger focus on the heartland.
Daniels agreed that Indiana is in a good position with a growing population and more college graduates choosing to stay. He said the challenge is to maintain that momentum in the face of what he said will be tough economic times ahead.
When asked to recall moments that made them proud to be Hoosiers, Daniels noted times when he traveled the state following floods or tornadoes and was inspired by the people who showed up to help.
Pence said balanced budgets and strong policies are important, but agreed with Daniels that the most memorable times were when state residents showed what Hoosier hospitality means.
“If you run (toward) the sound of guns, you actually get to see people in their worst settings at their best — and those are Hoosiers,” he said, adding that his hope for the future is rooted in his faith in God and in the goodness, decency and character of the American people.
Holcomb agreed with his colleagues, adding that one of his proudest moments was hosting guests at the annual Indy 500 race, which he called a crown jewel of the state.
Closing out the forum, Russell said his three guests had made important contributions that shaped the course of the state.
“But more than policies or headlines, what they share is this — a deep belief in Indiana’s potential, a willingness to make hard decisions and a legacy rooted not in politics but purpose,” he said. “They didn’t just occupy the office of governor — they used (the role) to lead and to move Indiana forward. These three men showed us true leadership. Now it’s our turn to learn from these three great leaders, because the next chapter in Indiana’s story won’t be written by one person in one office. It will be written by the people in this room.”
Russell encouraged audience members not to wait for a title or for conditions to be perfect before they become a leader, and to help create solutions to the challenges Indiana faces in the future.

Milkshake shop opens in Nora
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
About a week before a heat dome descended on Indianapolis, a new restaurant specializing in frosty treats opened its doors.
DESSERTS
The Milkshake Factory in Nora is one of the newest locations for the national franchise that started in Pittsburgh. Co-owner Alex Chandler and his business partner Kindall Palmer — who both live in North Carolina — first learned about the franchise a few years ago when Chandler was attending a friend’s wedding in Pittsburgh.
“I went to the flagship Milkshake Factory, which is right downtown in Pittsburgh,” he said. “It’s a gorgeous space … vibrant environment, and then obviously the shakes were amazing. So I was like, ‘Hey, I think there’s something here. Let’s look into this.’”
The partners opened franchises in North Carolina first. They also had the franchise rights for the Indianapolis and Detroit areas. Chandler said Indianapolis is a new market for them, but when they looked into the area, they saw how successful other brands have been.
“It’s kind of an underappreciated, overlooked market,” he said. “I feel like it’s not one you hear of all the time, but brands do phenomenally well here.”
In addition to the Nora location, 1340 E. 86th St., the partners are opening another location in Avon. Chandler said they plan to eventually expand into Fishers and Carmel, as well.
“Both Kindall and I are not only businessmen, but family men,” Chandler said. “Between the two of us, we have seven kids — so big-time dads — and we really wanted to bring Milkshake Factory to places where family communities are thriving, where families are looking for a new dessert option.”
He said they had planned to open the
Nora location in late May but experienced the usual construction delays. The soft opening was June 16, with limited hours that week to allow employees to get trained before expanding the hours. Soon, though, the shop will open daily from noon to 10 p.m., with some later hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Chandler added that it will host a “happy hour” from 4 to 6 p.m. every Thursday with special prices on classic shakes.
Even with the initial limited hours, Chandler said Indianapolis has been very welcoming to the new store.
“Yesterday was a bigger day in sales than all day of operation in our stores in North Carolina,” he said. “So, we anticipate these being very busy stores.”
As the name suggests, the shop’s focus is on milkshakes, with a full menu of options such as salted caramel and pretzel, chocolate dipped strawberry, peanut butter brownie and cookie dough fudge. The store also offers hand-dipped chocolates, including Dubai chocolate bars, cake pops and chocolate-coated pretzels.
An official grand-opening celebration is set for July 12, with a DJ, promotional prices and giveaways.

Indy airport breaks ground on new hotel
northindy@youarecurrent.com
The Indianapolis Airport Authority broke ground June 12 on a new $205.8 million Westin Indianapolis Airport hotel at Indianapolis International Airport.
DEVELOPMENT
City officials and community leaders joined IAA Executive Director Mario Rodriguez and Board President Barbara Glass in the ceremonial shovel event, signifying the hotel development is officially under way. According to an announcement from the IAA, about 200 guests attended the event and received ceremonial vials of dirt to mark the occasion.
Rodriguez stated that the new hotel will serve as “the front door to the front door,” welcoming travelers from around the globe.
“The original plans for the Midfield Terminal complex included a terminal-connected hotel and through the years we’ve proceeded with careful and strategic planning to ensure the right build at the right time to increase the value of the airport to the public and increase our contribution to the central Indiana economic landscape,” Rodriguez stated.
Glass said the new hotel will have a positive economic impact.
The project, paid for through bonds, will feature 253 guest rooms; a full-service restaurant; a fitness center; a seventh-floor bar and lounge; an approximately 10,000-square-foot meeting space; a pedestrian passage to the airport garage; and hotel-specific parking with optional valet service.
The hotel is expected to open in late 2027.

Cathedral wins IHSAA Class 3A state softball championship
By David Jacobs david@youarecurrent.com
It was a season of destiny for longtime Cathedral softball coach Tony Matthew and the Irish.
SPORTS
Led by several NCAA Division I recruits, including Anna Moore -- a Purdue University recruit and the tournament’s Mental Attitude Award winner -- the Irish edged Hanover Central 5-4 in the IHSAA Class 3A state championship game June 14 in West Lafayette.
Cathedral started the year 23-0 before losing back-to-back games in late May and rallying through the postseason to finish the year at 29-2.
“It hasn’t all sunk in yet,” Matthews said. “Just the emotion of the game, winning a close game like that is just unbelievable. (After the two losses), we talked for about an hour and a half on what we needed to do. It was the best practice we had and all we did was talk — it brought everyone closer together.”
A dominant team most of the season, the
Irish defeated opponents with an average score of 10-2, breezing through the opening rounds of the state tournament before getting their first real tests in the semistate, where they beat New Palestine and Evansville Memorial 4-1 and 4-2, respectively.
The victory against Evansville Memorial marked the 250th career coaching win for Matthews.
“I never really kept track of my wins and losses,” Matthews said. “Now that I see it (in retrospect), it was special to win a semistate for the first time and get my 250th win. I really don’t focus a lot on my success, just the team. Part of it all is that we bust our butt off all through the season.”
Matthews was confident at the end of last season that the Irish could contend for the state championship this year.
“I always felt like this was going to be our year,” Matthews said. “The biggest factor was our pitcher, (junior) Sydney Feczko, was fully committed in the off-season (after) getting run-ruled by New Palestine in regionals last year.”

Taste of Indy Returns July 5 with food, music & fun
By Les Morris news@youarecurrent.com
Taste of Indy takes center stage on the holiday weekend, returning for its 14th edition at White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis. The culinary celebration is July 5 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
EVENT
The event is billed as Indiana’s largest food festival and there will be a wide variety of food tents and food trucks
The day also will feature a mix of local music highlighted by jazz legend Rob Dixon at 4:45 p.m. Cathy Morris takes the main stage at 6:15 p.m. and D-Roq + Bulletproof Soul performs the finale at 7:45.
General admission tickets are $20 each and are available at tasteofindy.org. Kids 10 and younger are admitted free. Food tickets are $1 per ticket and can be redeemed for food, beverages and alcohol.
“Come out and come hungry,” said organizer Jonathan Warren, who created the event in 2012. “We have people who come out for lunch and usually stay for dinner. Food is a great motivator.”
Warren is excited about some new food vendors that showcase Taste of Indy’s wide variety and cultural fluidity. Pinoy Garden Cafe, a Filipino restaurant in Bloomington, will make its Taste of Indy debut. In the festival’s food tent, attendees will
be able to taste dishes from Bawarchi Biryanis Indian Cuisine Indianapolis and Bibibop Asian Grill.
Warren’s career has revolved around food safety consulting, both in his Army career and in civilian life. He founded Indy Food Safety Consulting in 2002 and his relationships with restaurants led him to start Taste of Indy.
“They kept asking if there was anything we could to help marketing wise,” he said.
Warren thought back to his Army career in the Pacific Northwest when he was doing food inspection at Naval Station Everett.
“It’s pretty lonely duty when you’re the only active-duty army guy on a navy base,” he said.
But Warren did remember a few culinary events from those days — “Taste of Tacoma,” and “Bite of Seattle,” — and thought a similar food festival would be successful here.
In addition to the sumptuous food and musical entertainment, Taste of Indy will also feature many family-friendly amusement activities from Jump N Play Party Rentals, including an axe throw, an obstacle course, yard pong, corn hole and a game that challenges participants to stay on their feet while dodging rotating boom arms called Toxic Meltdown.

Enhancing comprehens ive canc er care
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.

Jenny Nguyen is founder and CEO of The Sports Bra.
“The first four franchises of The Sports Bra will join our OG Portland location to become the ‘Starting Five,’” she stated. “Together, we’re serving fans nationwide who are hungry for spaces that not only
champion women’s sports but create a community where everyone feels like they belong. There is no better moment than this to open these places.”

Ritchey Reserve seeks 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.

site 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.”

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 a variety of physical and mental health conditions.
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 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 mixed-breed 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 dogs chosen for the program become service dogs. Abby Harlan, development direc-
tor 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
FLOOD RECOVERY
The Medical Mutts training facility at 6120 Allisonville Rd. experienced recent flood damage following heavy rains.
Development Director Abby Harlan said the lower floor where new dogs are quarantined had about 2 feet of water because a drainage pipe was blocked on the other side of the nearby Nickel Plate Trail.
“We were hustling, moving dogs upstairs,” she said, adding that the area
also houses the medical office and is used for storage. “Luckily, we had just had a big spring clean-up work party with our volunteers, so everything was very organized.”
Indianapolis-based Cambri Builders is doing the restoration work, she said, which includes new flooring, drywall and other repairs. Cambri also hosted a recent fundraising golf outing to benefit Medical Mutts.
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 assist 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.

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.

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.
PERFORMANCES
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. For more, visit rocktheruins.com
Park Tudor senior ready for The Songbook Academy
By David Jacobs david@youarecurrent.com
Forty of the nation’s top high school singers will come together at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel July 12 for the 16th annual The Great American Songbook Academy.
MUSIC
Founded by five-time Grammy nominee Michael Feinstein, The Great American Songbook Foundation hosts the weeklong summer program that includes workshops, masterclasses and performance opportunities to help build vocal and stage skills.
said. “I’m excited to meet other high school students nationwide who share the same passion for singing that I do.”
Rettig said she always loved singing but didn’t start taking lessons until eighth grade.
“I used to have trouble with my confidence and (was) nervous singing in front of other people,” she said. “Gaining more confidence made me realize that I love performing and storytelling with the songs I’m singing.”
Of the 12 students from Indiana, Park Tudor School senior Mia Rettig is the only one from Indianapolis.
“I wanted to audition to learn more about the great singers and songwriters of the Great American Songbook,” Rettig
This year’s students will be joined by several industry professionals, including Broadway star Nikki Renée Daniels, who will offer guidance on navigating a career in vocal performance.
Songbook Academy Week features public performances at the Payne & Mencias Palladium concert hall for both live audiences and livestream viewers worldwide. For more, visit tinyurl.com/y42t77bs.

Weddings by the numbers
Commentary by Terry Anker
Summer weddings are a traditional favorite. But interestingly, October and September have overtaken May and June in the top spots for nuptials. Still, none of the months are as busy. In fact, 1947, right after World War II, saw the biggest historical spike with 16.4 people per 1,000 Americans getting hitched. The years 1970 and 1980 found their way to 10.6. Since 2000, the numbers have been generally declining, with 2022, the last year of published data, sitting at 6.0 per 1,000. As the annual average is 8.4, we’ve experienced an almost 30 percent decline overall. Experts are predicting that the trend will continue. In 1947, nearly 80 percent of all households represented married couples, while today that number is just above 47 percent, even though it has been increasing slightly for the last number of years.
ESSAY
Those of us who have been getting our share of wedding cake are likely in the zones. Namely, we are young and watching our friends get married, or we are not so young and watching our friends’
children get married. Either way, we are included in celebrating an important life event for those whom we hold dear. Attitudes toward the institution are affected by social mores, pandemics, wars and popular trends, but most marriages kick off with a celebratory launch. To some of us, weddings have become too grand and costly for us guests, with many destination weddings consuming thousands and days of vacation time. To others, marriage is an arcane idea, no longer relevant in a modern world. There may be a few who just are cranky and don’t like to have fun. Regardless of our proclivities, shouldn’t we hope for the best and make it our business to attend? In most studies, married folks are still wealthier, healthier and happier. And for the couple, that’s worth celebrating.
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.
