Plans for a potential expansion of Zionsville Self Storage and a new automotive service business are moving forward.
The Zionsville Town Council unanimously approved a rezoning for a vacant lot at 1580 W. Oak St. at its March 2 meeting.
Sam Scheidler, owner of Zionsville Self Storage, intends to expand his business, which is adjacent to the newly rezoned property. There also are plans for an auto service center on the other side of the 2.6-acre lot.
The rezoning request received a fa-

For example, Scheidler reached out to adjacent businesses and neighbors, who wrote letters of recommendation. Efforts to reduce noise emitted from the auto service shop by using certain tools, keeping bay doors closed, adding insulation and moving the facility farther south to give more space between it and residences to the north were also cited by the council.

right behind it,” said Council Member Craig Melton, who also serves on the plan commission.
The lot will be split into three sections. The center section’s use — self storage will be on one end, the auto shop on the other — is to be determined. A stipulation in rezoning removes several uses for the parcel based on conversations with adjacent land owners.
Scheidler said the parcel will likely be more self-storage.
The rezoning was for urban neighborhood business to urban outdoor business. A plat approval and development plans will need to be approved before the projects begin.

Youth art on display
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
A piece of art depicting Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” with characters from Winnie-the-Pooh caught the eye of Tyler Stepsis as he walked around with his daughters during a reception at SullivanMunce Cultural Center.
“The juxtaposition is pretty cool,” he said.
The piece was created by a student at Zionsville Community Schools. All the pieces, several dozen overall, were created by students.
SullivanMunce kicked off Youth Art Month with its annual reception March 6. The monthlong event celebrates artwork created by students of all ages. Downtown businesses Fivethirty Homes and Robert Goodman Jewelers also held reception events.
The receptions were an opportunity for students to see their art on display. It also provided plenty of photo opportunities with parents and teachers.
“It helps kids see what they can do, and it reminds older kids where they came from,” said Brenda Jalaie, an art
teacher at Zionsville Community High School.
Student-created art is on display all this month at businesses and restaurants in the Village, Town Hall and Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library, among other locations.
“I’m always impressed with the kids and the artwork,” Stepsis said while joking about his own limited artistic abilities. Stepsis is a doctor with Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis.
One of his daughters, Quinn, has a piece in the SullivanMunce exhibit. She made a hand drawing during one of her art classes. It features rainbows.
“I really like rainbows, so I put a lot of colors in there,” Quinn said.
Jalaie said it used to be harder to organize when art was displayed in most businesses in Zionsville. Concentrating most of it in the Village makes it more manageable.
Art will be up throughout the rest of the month. Some student art is also displayed at the Indiana Statehouse.

Local resident launches ethics center
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
In a free enterprise system, businesses must figure out what sets them apart.
That belief drove Frank Walker to help found the Walker Center for Applied Ethics at Marian University that focused on advancing ethical practices for businesses.
Now, at 91, the Zionsville resident is embarking on a new venture with the same goal.
company. Melissa Barnes, president of the ethics center, argues it’s a smarter investment to foster a workplace people want to be a part of.
“It’s incredibly costly to bring in an employee,” she said.
Barnes Walker
Walker launched the Indiana Center for Business Ethics late last year. The center intends to gather data through employee and employer surveys that can be used to guide best practices in establishing ethical cultures in small businesses.
Walker, who served in a variety of roles for Walker Information, a market research company founded by his mother, believes a company that is more ethical than its competitors will retain more employees and provide a better customer experience.
“Not only is it the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do,” he said.
A survey of 1,000 employees by the Indiana Center for Business Ethics found 74 percent of workers plan to stay at their current job.
Of those who were likely to stay, 69 percent said they were comfortable reporting misconduct versus just 23 percent of those who were likely to leave their company.
Workers who believe there are ethical issues are more likely to leave their
Barnes, a Carmel resident, is a former chief ethics and compliance officer with Eli Lilly and former board director of Algonquin Power and Utilities, Inc. She said working with the center allows her to apply what she’s learned in her corporate career and have it benefit others.
A survey of 300 businesses by the center found there is a perception gap in ethics between leaders and employees. For example, 93 percent of business leaders think their company is highly ethical compared to 74 percent of employees.
This led the center to conclude employees need to experience the ethical values their bosses claim to hold.
The plan is to share data collected by the center with academic institutions. Walker said there is interest among academics in small business research, but there is little available.
“(We want to) generate a lot of data on small businesses,” he said.
By making their research available and easily digestible, it could be used as a way to entice businesses to relocate to Indiana, Barnes said, who envisions being able to market the state as a place where businesses are “doing it right.”
“We’d be blessed if people copied us,” Walker said.

Road project moves forward
news@youarecurrent.com
Final designs are underway for a road project to improve traffic flow in the Village.
The Town of Zionsville announced March 5 final design for Main Street Momentum, the road project that would see a roundabout constructed at the intersection of Main and Sycamore streets, is expected to be completed this summer.
Construction is expected in 2027. A construction schedule will be released following design finalization.
The peanut- or dog bone-shaped roundabout is meant to keep traffic flowing downtown and prevent backups while reducing the speed limit to ensure pedestrian safety. There will also be additional pedestrian crossings on First Street and near Lions Park.
“Main Street Momentum will make the entryway to our town more efficient for emergency responders and vehicles, and safer for pedestrians,” Zionsville Mayor John Stehr stated. “At the same time, it will enhance access to our historic Village and our iconic brick-paved Main Street.”
A traffic light at First and Oak streets also is part of the project, as are several quality-of-life and landscaping features including trees, sidewalks and bike paths meant to match the aesthetic of the Village.
A solution to the traffic backup issues downtown has been discussed for the better part of a decade.
Proposed changes include turning First Street into a one-way going north from Oak Street. Second Street a block over would be a one-way headed south until Oak Street.

ZCHS students plan dance marathon
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
Dance marathons at Hamilton County high schools have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years.
Betsy Cline is confident Zionsville Community High School can do the same.
“As a big school, we have the ability to get there eventually,” she said.
Cline, a ZCHS junior, is part of the Zionsville Dance Club that will present the school’s first dance marathon from noon to 2:30 p.m. March 21.
The fundraiser will benefit Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent.
“We’re one of the only schools fundraising for Peyton Manning,” ZCHS sophomore Greer Hanlon said.
Hanlon said most other area schools fundraise for Riley Hospital for Children. She said she was inspired by the success of other schools to bring a dance marathon to Zionsville. Purdue and Indiana universities host them, too.
“I kind of asked myself, ‘Why not Zionsville?” Hanlon said.
The Zionsville Dance Club has organized several fundraisers throughout the school year, including a Halloween pickleball tournament, a gift-wrapping drive and bake sale. Significant funds also were raised during a boys varsity basketball game that included a raffle for Indiana Pacers tickets and a visit from Pacers mascot Boomer. Students also collected donations from the crowd, raising $950. Children being treated at Peyton Manning hospital were introduced during the announcement of the starting lineups.
Admission to the dance marathon is $5 per person and includes lunch from Chick-fil-A. The event is open to the community as well as ZCHS students. Attendees can also make cards for children being treated at the hospital.
“We’re just trying to make it a fun thing so people come together to learn what dance marathon is about,” Hanlon said.
Organizers are hoping for a turnout of 250-300 people.
Tickets can be purchased at tinyurl. com/55497xsf or at the door.
Esports lounge opens
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
A group of children were in awe as they walked into the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County’s newest space. They were some of the first to enjoy the new esports lounge at the club’s Whitestown unit.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony and brief reception unveiled the project to the public March 3.
The lounge, equipped with 12 gaming computers and gamer chairs, two gaming consoles and hangout space, is the result of multiple community partnerships, most notably with the United Way of Central Indiana and Eli Lilly.
The esports room on the second floor of the Whitestown facility is meant to attract new kids to the Boys & Girls Club and build out the organization’s offerings to older children, including teens.
“It’s not the end-all be-all, but it’s a great start,” club CEO Eric Richards said.
Richards said the esports and gaming
lounge is the first of its kind in Boone County.
“We knew it would be unique, and we wouldn’t be duplicating stuff,” he said.
The kids got right to gaming, playing games like Rocket League and Fortnite. All games available are age appropriate.
The esports lounge is meant for those who attend Zionsville West Middle School up the street, though club members from across Boone County are welcome to use the space.
The United Way provided the largest financial impact of the six-figure project.
Lilly employees donated their time building out the space, including performing the IT work.
“This is by far the most impressive volunteer project I’ve been a part of in my 26 years in the nonprofit world,” Richards said.
More than 50 people attended the opening event, including Zionsville Mayor John Stehr, State Rep. Becky Cash (R-Zionsville), Whitestown officials and members of Eli Lilly.

Litter cleanup expands countywide
Commentary by Jennifer Lawrence
The Boone County Solid Waste Management District is expanding its long-running “Lebanon the Cleanest City in Indiana” initiative into a new, countywide effort aimed at enhancing community pride and environmental stewardship.
Originally envisioned by the Lebanon Rotary Club in 2010, the program began as an annual spring cleanup event in the City of Lebanon, supplemented by smaller cleanup projects throughout the year.
Last spring’s cleanup drew a record 650 volunteers who collected litter across multiple locations in Lebanon. Building on that momentum, organizers are now launching “Beautify Boone,” a countywide expansion designed to bring similar results to communities throughout Boone County.
The Beautify Boone Spring Litter Cleanup is scheduled for May 7–9. Residents are encouraged to participate by forming teams and selecting cleanup locations. Organizers can assist groups in identifying suitable areas based on team size and location.
Teams may choose any time during the three-day event to complete their cleanup. Registration for teams is due April 20.
Community members can also support the effort by spreading the word to friends, neighbors, schools, workplaces and local organizations. Businesses and organizations are invited to sponsor cleanup T-shirts with sponsorship forms due April 10.
All registered participants will receive a cleanup T-shirt, trash bags and a coupon for a complimentary treat from Dairy Queen in Lebanon.
More information and registration and sponsorship forms are available at boonecountysolidwaste.com under the Programs tab.

PEDALING THRILLS
Local student competes in Cyclocross World Championships
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
It was the type of crowd one might expect at a football game on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon — tens of thousands of people, replete with cowbells, tailgates and beer.
But the scene wasn’t a football game. It was how Calvin Conaway described competing in the Cyclocross World Championships earlier this year in the Netherlands.
The 19-year-old Zionsville resident and Indiana University student was one of three Americans to compete in the U23 division Jan. 31.
Conaway finished 33rd at the U23 championship. He was shooting for a top 30 finish, but a flat tire held him back.
“I’m happy with it,” said Conaway, who competed for the second time in the U23 division after previously being in the junior division. “It’s a hard jump to make.”
Cyclocross is a form of cycling that blends road cycling and mountain biking. Competitions are often held on open grass fields. Obstacles, such as sand pits, steep inclines and declines and mud, are hallmarks of cyclocross competitions.
“A lot of people call it cross country for bikes,” Conaway said. “It’s usually muddy. That’s the spirit of it.”
Conaway’s older brother, Henry, introduced him to cycling. He got into mountain biking before transitioning to cyclocross.
A competition lasts about an hour. The number of laps is set by how long it takes to complete one lap. Seven or eight laps are an average race length.
To qualify for the World Championships, competitors must finish in the top 70 percent in a World Cup competition. Conaway spent his Thanksgiving break competing in the Czech Republic and France where he qualified for the championship.
Cyclocross takes place in the fall and winter. As a college student, it can make for a challenge balancing one’s class schedule and travel.
“We’ve gotten pretty used to having
to move our finals (exams),” Conaway said.
USA Cycling chooses competitors to represent the United States among those who qualify. Conaway said competitors who the cycling organization projects will do best are chosen.
“He’s racing against the best of the best in Europe,” said Angelina Palermo, USA Cycling’s director of communications and public relations.
A cyclocross course features long straightaways, giving cyclists an opportunity to pass others, but it’s also a
very technical race. Palermo said it’s paramount to get off to a strong start as it can be difficult to make up time.
“You have to figure out how to get in front of the chaos and not be a part of the chaos,” she said.
Technical skills come into play with traversing difficult obstacles. So does efficiency.
Palermo said there are obstacles where a cyclist could stay on their bike, such as hopping over barriers, but it might be fastest to run with their bike.
Finding time to recover is difficult. It
CYCLOCROSS AND THE OLYMPICS
Cyclocross is one of the few non-Olympic sports governed by USA Cycling.
There is a push to make it a winter Olympic sport, according to Angelina Palermo, USA Cycling’s director of communications and public relations.
“It’s a serious conversation,” she said. However, there are a few hang ups.
Only a certain number of sports are permitted each Olympics. Winter games are supposed to be on snow or ice. Cyclocross isn’t.
Making it a summer sport could be an option, though Palermo said there
are many sports vying to get into the Summer Games. It would also throw a wrench into the cyclocross season, which is in the fall and winter.
Olympic sports in general are supposed to bring the world together. Cyclocross is not a global sport. Rather it is most popular in Europe, specifically in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The sport also is popular in the Midwest, according to Palermo, who added cyclocross would see a revival in the United States if it were to be added to the Olympics.
Cyclocross is a blend of road racing and mountain biking and features obstacles like steep inclines and declines, sand and mud. Portions of a cyclocross race require cyclists to get off their bikes and run.
can be during turns where cyclists can coast, but even then, they might need to make up time.
“People usually say it’s the hardest cycling you can do,” Conaway said. “From the whistle, it’s full gas every single time.”
Cyclocross thrives in Belgium and the Netherlands, where many events are held, lending to big crowds and the best cyclists.
With cyclocross being held in an open setting, it allows people to line the course, watch and cheer on their favorites.
“It’s like a party every time,” Conaway said. “It’s super cool to be there.”
During the season, Conaway said he rides almost every day, does interval training and rides trails.
He plans to keep racing and is confident he will make another appearance at Worlds next year.
Conaway is a physics major.

Carmel bathroom remodel bright, elegant
‘Idol’ alum set for Feinstein’s shows
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Casey Abrams is known for his upright bass and musical blend of blues, jazz, soul and rock.
Abrams will perform with singer Hunter April 10-11 at Feinstein’s at Carmel’s Hotel Carmichael as part of a series presented by Allied Solutions Center. Hunter’s full name is Hunter Elizabeth, but she prefers to go by Hunter. The series, featuring four acts, opens with country singer-songwriter Maggie Baugh March 20-21. Morgan James will perform March 27-28, and the series closes with Will Hoge May 8-9. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m.
Abrams also performed at Feinstein’s last year.
“It was awesome,” he said. “It looks like such a cool place. I’ll do a bunch of my songs, and I’ll have (Hunter) come out and do some of her songs. We’ll do some nice duets. She’ll put her velvety voice on some of the songs.”
Abrams’ website is caseybassy. com, and social media accounts are @caseybassy, a nod to his playing the upright bass.
“I will do songs that I’ve written about food,” he said. “I’m a really big food person, so I have to do that. There’s a grand piano on stage, so I’ll probably play some piano and a guitar just to shake things up a bit. I’ll be the band for the night.”
Hunter plays a percussion instrument called a cajon.
Abrams performed in the Dave Koz holiday concert last year at the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Abrams will perform on Dave Koz’s cruise later this month before the Feinstein’s shows. In June, he is doing a one-month residency in Hong Kong.
Abrams enjoys sharing stories and interacting with the audience.
“I love walking into the audience
and making it a 4D experience and you never know what’s going to happen,” he said.
Abrams finished sixth in the 10th season of “American Idol” in 2012. His favorite moment was performing a song with actor Jack Black, who has a band called Tenacious D.
“I was a huge fan of Jack Black’s band,” he said.
So, when a producer asked Abrams who he wanted to sing with in the finale, he said it might sound crazy, but he wanted to sing with Black. Abrams said the producer didn’t know Black was a singer. They performed Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”
Abrams said Black appeared in one of Abrams’ music videos after “American Idol.” Abrams views the overall “American Idol” experience as a positive.
“There was a time where I was, ‘Oh man, get that away from my name,’” Abrams said. “The more I go on, I realize it turned me into a full-time musician, so I have to thank it for that.”

In addition, he launched an “American Idol” weekly podcast in December 2025 called “Idols with Casey Abrams,” where he interviews former “American Idol” contestants and others who have been on reality shows.
Abrams occasionally performs with Scott Bradlee’s “Postmodern Jukebox” band.
Abrams’ most recent album is “Jazz,” and he recently rereleased his live album, “Casey Abrams Live.” He also has released some singles, including the unique “Spin Me Round.”
“This is why I love the internet,” he said. “I was on TikTok and I saw a guy filming his dryer with shoes or something in it. It was making a cool beat. So, I did a duet where I played my upright bass over it on the other side of the screen. That took over and all these random people started playing drums or guitar or even rapping over it. Then there was a saxophone player named Augie Bello, who played saxophone over it.”

‘Drowning Girls’ set for stage
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Molly Bellner wasn’t optimistic when she submitted the play “The Drowning Girls” to Main Street Productions as a proposal for the 2025-26 season.
“I was thinking there is no way they would select it because it’s such a different show than community theaters normally produce,” she said. “Stylistically, it’s so different. It’s not a straight narrative. It goes back and forth in time and flips between the three different women’s stories. I submitted it because it’s something I absolutely loved and was passionate to direct. So, I was thrilled when they did select it.”
“The Drowning Girls” runs March 19 to 29 at Basile Westfield Playhouse. The play is based on the true story of George Joseph Smith, who was hanged in 1915 in England for murdering his three wives. It was called the “Brides in the Bath” murders.
“I say water is our fourth character in the show because we actually have filled bathtubs on the stage,” Bellner said. “This is a physically demanding show for the actors. They’re in and out of the bathtubs wet. They’re in wedding dresses. These actors, pun intended, have jumped in with both feet.”
Bellner said the play is a true crime story, a ghost story, a love story and partly a cautionary tale. The three women each play other roles, including the roles of their husband, police inspector and insurance salesmen and family members.
Carmel resident Sarah Eberhardt plays Margaret, the eldest of the brides. The others are Indianapolis residents Monya Wolf and Jo Bennett.
Eberhardt and Wolf have known each other since attending Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and being in an acting club together. They read the script together with another friend.

the physicality of making your body seem different as you switch between the characters, because with this show we don’t have breaks or stops,” Eberhardt said. “It’s trying to show the physical changes of playing Margaret or playing the male characters or the goofier characters we get to play.”
Bennett, who plays Bessie, said she was intrigued by the bathtubs on stage and the murder-mystery vibe.
“We were doing nontraditional kinds of theater. It wasn’t ‘Oklahoma,’” she said. “So, this kind of avant-garde presentation was right up my alley.”
Bennett said she was in Indy Shakes, a theater company that performed at schools and played multiple characters and might only put on a glove or a hat.
“You had to trust the audience’s ability to suspend their disbelief and go with you on the journey,” she said. “The actors have to have chops to do that kind of thing.”
Wolf, who plays Alice, said she likes how the women’s stories are interwoven.
“I think in many scenes, (the audiences) are looking at as one being, then (the characters) all can tell their separate tales,” she said. “I thought it’s an interesting way to tell a story. It’s a meaty show and a great opportunity for a woman of my age in the community theater. Plus, the bathtubs — who wouldn’t want to be wet on stage the entire show?”
Wolf said she was asked by Bellner to be part of the hair and makeup on the show. Then Wolf asked if she could audition as well. Wolf said there is a challenge learning the different accents.
“For our main characters we get to use our American accent, but the side characters all have different accents,” she said. “I get to play an Irish woman. There’s a nice mix to try to distinguish characters.”
