Development density questioned
Plan Commission hears public input on 2,000-unit Ironstone PUD
By Todd Golden todd@youarecurrent.com
Approximately 100 residents filled Westfield’s City Hall for a public hearing at the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission meeting Nov. 3 regarding the Ironstone development proposed for Hortonville and nearby areas.
First introduced at the Oct. 27 Westfield City Council meeting, Ironstone is a planned unit development proposed by Platinum Properties.
The 765-acre development would include 1,750 single-family homes, 250 townhomes and possible apartment units in the Hortonville mixed-use village.
Jon C. Dobosiewicz of Nelson and Frankenberger, representing Platinum Properties, presented the proposal to the APC.
One community — the Lakes — would be south of 206th Street and west of Six Points Road. Another community — The Village — would be north of 206th Street and west of the Monon Trail. Another community — the Reserve — would be north of 206th Street and north of Hortonville surrounding Horton Road. Horton Square, located in Hortonville proper, is a mixed-use development. The plan map indicated that land on the northwest corner of 206th Street and Six Points Road would be donated by developers to the Westfield Washington School District.
Infrastructure improvements, such as widening of roads, would be made ahead of construction of the development, which could take 10-12 years to complete, according to Dobosciewicz.
No other public hearings are scheduled for the development, which is similar in scope to Carmel’s WestClay development. Twenty-one residents voiced concerns about traffic, density,
water usage, property tax values and drainage, among other items, at the Nov. 3 meeting.
“Adding this amount of density, this many homes, this many people, without considering doing something out on State Road 38 and Horton Road, as well as Oak Ridge Road, it’s going to be a very serious intersection that I’m afraid are going to have a lot of accidents,” Jeff Salsbery said.
Resident Steve Andrews raised concerns about drainage.
“I see a lot of asphalt and concrete, which is going to affect the runoff, water and rain. I’m wondering how that’s going to be handled,” Steve Andrews said.
Plan commissioners raised concerns, too.
“There were a few of us who are here from the 2006 (Comprehensive) Plan,” commissioner Mark Keen said. “We envisioned as we went north and west, (housing) density would decrease. It
seems to me like we’re increasing density with this particular proposal.”
Commissioner Victor McCarty, also a member of the Westfield City Council, said he was against the development.
“I’m against this project for many reasons,” McCarty said. “For the most part, it boils down to philosophy with the future of Westfield. Numbers get thrown out all the time. One in particular is that we could approve no more development today within Westfield and our population within the next five to 10 years will go up to 100,000 people. It’s a little daunting for someone like myself who’s lived here all my life.”
Dobosiewicz said many of the concerns are addressed in the original ordinance presented to the city council Oct. 27 and will continue to be worked through during APC workshop sessions in December and January 2026. The sessions are scheduled for Dec. 15 and Jan. 14, likely at City Hall.

Remains identified at Fox Hollow
news@youarecurrent.com
The Hamilton County Coroner announced Nov. 4 that human remains discovered 30 years ago at the Westfield home of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister have been identified as those of Roger Goodlet.
Goodlet is believed to be one of Baumeister’s victims. Goodlet was reported missing from Indianapolis in 1994.
“Today’s confirmation provides an opportunity for continued closure to the family and loved ones of Roger Goodlet,” Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison stated. “While this case has affected our community for decades, advancements in forensic science has finally allowed us to restore names to the victims.”
tigation by law enforcement and an excavation of the wooded area behind his Fox Hollow estate performed by the University of Indianapolis Anthropology and Archaeology Department revealed the remains on his property, ranging from long bones to fragments as small as fingernails.
According to the coroner’s office, the identification was confirmed through advanced forensic and DNA analysis conducted by the University of Texas Center for Human Identification. It is part of the ongoing review of evidence recovered from the Fox Hollow property.
The DNA confirmation supports an initial identification made in 1996 via dental records.
More than 10,000 remains were discovered at Baumeister’s Fox Hollow estate on 156th Street in 1996, shortly after a criminal investigation was launched.
Baumeister died by suicide in 1996 after an inves-

After the discovery, eight victims were identified. All the original victims went missing after leaving gay bars in downtown Indianapolis.
After the excavation of remains at Fox Hollow, the case was shelved until Jellison reopened the investigation in 2022 at the request of one of the victim’s family members.
Since 2022, six new victim profiles have been discovered. Two of those victims have been positively identified.
Known victims are John Lee Bayer; Jeffrey Allen Jones; Richard Douglas Hamilton Jr.; Allen Lee Livingston; Steven Spurlin Hale; Allen Wayne Broussard; Roger Allen Goodlet; Michael Frederick Keirn; Manuel Resendez; and Daniel Thomas Halloran. All the victims except Halloran went missing between 1993 and 1995.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office continues to collaborate with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as private forensic experts, to analyze and identify additional remains recovered from the Fox Hollow property.

Woman arrested for theft
Sister charged with stealing truck and handgun from sibling in Westfield
By Todd Golden todd@youarecurrent.com
An Indianapolis woman was arrested Oct. 30 after she allegedly stole a truck and a handgun in Westfield.
Amanda Keller, 42, was charged with felony counts of auto theft, conversion and theft of the handgun. She has an initial hearing scheduled for Nov. 6 in Hamilton County Court. She was assigned to pretrial supervision, according to publicly available court records.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed by the Westfield Police Department, Keller was staying at the home of the victim in Westfield on Ind. 32. Keller, who was listed as homeless in the affidavit, had been staying with the victim after Keller had been shot Oct. 21 in Indianapolis.
On the morning of Oct. 30, when the
victim awoke, the victim’s 2011 Nissan Frontier and a Smith & Wesson .380 handgun the victim kept in the house were missing. The victim reported the theft to WPD.
The victim alleged that Keller is a drug abuser and that Keller began allegedly having drug withdrawal symptoms. The victim alleged that Keller stole the truck and gun to meet her drug dealer in Indianapolis to sell both for drugs.
Later on the morning of Oct. 30, the victim found the truck at Garfield Park in Indianapolis and contacted the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The victim allegedly observed Keller in the truck with several other people. They fled before IMPD arrived.
WPD was granted a search warrant for a residence on Arizona Street in Indianapolis. An IMPD SWAT team executed the search at 8:40 p.m. Oct. 30 and arrested Keller. She admitted that she stole the truck and planned to return it to the victim, according to the affidavit, and said she sold the handgun on the street for $80.

City receives two Aim Awards
news@youarecurrent.com
Two City of Westfield entities received Accelerate Indiana Municipalities Awards during the organization’s annual awards luncheon Oct. 22 in French Lick.
The Westfield Fire Department won the Aim Program Innovation Award for its integrated community response model. WFD won in the category for cities in the 25,001-58,000-population category.
In 2022, WFD hired a full-time social worker to address growing mental and behavioral health needs. In 2025, the program expanded with a full-time paramedic to assist residents with chronic conditions and mobility challenges.
WFD expanded its Community Connect platform, allowing residents to share information, such as medical conditions, mobility issues, pet locations and emergency contacts, before an emergency occurs.
“First responders encounter citizens during what is typically among the individuals’ worst days” Aim CEO Matt Greller stated. “Therefore, when cities like Westfield invest innovative solutions, such as their innovative response model, their work should be recognized, allowing all Hoosier municipal leaders to review the program to determine if something similar could work in their own communities.”
The City of Westfield also the received the 2025 Aim Green Project of the Year Award for its Simon Moon Park Expansion.

Westfield’s Simon Moon Park expansion reclaimed two decommissioned wastewater lagoons. The largest lagoon became a 15-foot-deep fishing pond surrounded by wetlands, native plants and wildlife habitat. The expansion also featured redesigned trails, a redesigned sledding hill, new boardwalks and birdwatching stations.
The Aim Annual Awards program is presented by Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors LLC. It recognizes communities and individuals in municipal government for excellence and outstanding achievement.

DAR maintains headstones
By Cynthia Sequin news@youarecurrent.com
Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution Jonathan Jennings Chapter — a group with members from Carmel and Westfield — gathered several times in recent months at the Farley Cemetery in Clay Township to honor veterans and their families by cleaning headstones in the 200-year-old cemetery.
“It’s part of the DAR mission to preserve history,” said Beth Breisch, a regular volunteer. “It’s an honor to do this for veterans. These are mostly men who left their homes and families not knowing if they would return, but who believed it was worth it. That America was worth it. My family has fought in many of America’s wars, starting with the Revolutionary War.”
The volunteers never met the veterans whose headstones they have cleaned over the years, but they do not forget the veterans’ service to America.
Upon arriving at the 200-year-old cemetery, volunteers haul supplies up a steep hill to begin their work.
There are more than 500 graves — including 27 identified as veterans — in the 3-acre cemetery.
Several graves are unidentified

because of unreadable or broken headstones.
“We found another veteran this year,” said Jamie Grinder, one of the volunteers. “So, we have 27 veterans. With the veterans’ stones, we usually get some information. Sometimes, we can’t tell anything. What is important is that they are here and deserve to be acknowledged.”
“Gerrie Bonarrigo-Burton, who also is the Auxiliary Chaplain of the VFW Post 10003 in Carmel, agreed.
“These are people who not only served in war, they built our roads, schools, churches,” Grinder said. “It would a dishonor not to (clean the headstones).”

Westfield volleyball run ends at semistate
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Westfield High School volleyball coach Sean Keeve had one major focus in his first season.
“One of the biggest things when we got here in the summer is we knew the girls were special,” Keeve said. “We knew they were talented, and as a staff, we just wanted to provide an environment where they look forward to showing up every day, that we could enjoy being together.”
The Shamrocks had plenty of fun during their 26-2 season. Ranked No. 2 in Class 4A, they lost to No. 1 Fort Wayne Carroll in five sets Nov. 1 in a 4A semistate semifinal at Rochester High School.
The Shamrocks will lose three seniors to graduation. They are Georgia Bresnahan, Lucy McCool and Audrey Bassett.
Bresnahan, an outside hitter who has committed to play at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, led the team in kills.
“Audrey and Georgia had some pretty big roles on the outside, but we got a really big returning group of starters and contributors,” Keeve said. “We have juniors that will fill in some big roles for us, so we’re excited about the possibilities of next year with everyone that should be back.”

“The girls had a lot of fun and built some really good relationships and, ultimately, I think that is why they were so successful,” Keeve said. “They all wanted the same thing more often than they didn’t.”
It was only the second time Westfield had won a regional. The first was in 2011, when the Shamrocks also lost in the semistate. It was the team’s first sectional title since 2016.
“Both of our losses were in five sets,” said Keeve, who is the club director for Monon Select, a volleyball facility in Westfield. “The first was to Hamilton Southeastern, and we avenged that loss in the opening round of the sectional.”
Junior middle hitter Carsyn Comer has committed to the University of Louisville, and junior libero Kendyl Strack has committed to Bowling Green State University.
Keeve said the end of the season was bittersweet.
“You got the feeling there is some unfinished business to take care of next year,” Keeve said. “There were a couple of things that could have gone our way a little bit differently. There are some things I could have done differently as a coach. As a team, we could have done a little bit better in some moments. I think this group of juniors coming back is going to be hungry and driven to put the work in over the winter (and) the spring at their respective clubs, and then hit the ground running when we get back in the gym in June and July.”

Guerin Catholic captures Class 2A state title
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
With a state title on the line, Guerin Catholic High School senior goalkeeper Ryan McGrath couldn’t help thinking of his late father.
“Honestly, (the) first (penalty kick), I was crying in the goal,” he said. “It was a really emotional moment for me. I wanted to get the job done because I know he’s up there watching me.”
McGrath composed himself to help the Golden Eagles win the IHSAA Class 2A state championship Oct. 31 at Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis.
The 2A No. 2 Golden Eagles edged Bishop Chatard 1-0, winning 12-11 in penalty kicks. It set a record for most penalty kicks in IHSAA state finals history. The Golden Eagles (18-4) won Class A titles in 2013 and 2014.
McGrath’s father, Chris McGrath, was the Golden Eagles’ coach from 2016 until his death from COVID-19 complications at age 53 in 2021.
“Ryan dedicated the season to his dad,” said Guerin coach Jim Alvarez, who was an assistant under Chris McGrath. “Ryan’s a great kid. To be able to coach him and see him put so much into this season, he embraced it.”
McGrath, a Noblesville resident, even stepped in and made a penalty kick himself.
“I’m happy I converted mine, but I really wanted to save one at the end of the day,” he said. “I really wanted to get it done.”
Golden Eagles senior Christian Zermeno converted his penalty kick right before McGrath’s save.
The Golden Eagles had topped Chatard 4-2 Sept. 6. This time, the Trojans held Guerin scoreless in regulation and two seven-minute overtimes.
Alvarez said the Golden Eagles said a prayer all season to have the courage to be great.
“It doesn’t mean you do great things, it means you (do) the little things to get there,” Alvarez said. “It’s about the process. We practice PKs, but these are high school boys and you never know
when they step up and take a kick what is going through their mind.”
Alvarez said that the penalty kicks were by far the most in a game he’s coached.
“I think the longest I’ve coached a game in PKs is six,” he said. “You’re just hoping either they miss or the goalie makes the save. Ryan finally made the save. It was not easy on the coaches, but it was awesome. Kudos to Chatard. They played their tails off. We probably outshot them 3-to-1 but couldn’t put them away.”
McGrath suffered a cut on his forehead after jumping up for a save and hit a pole. He briefly left in the second half while Tommy Bobay took his place.
“(Bobay) had to come in cold and he made one really good save during that time,” Alvarez said. “That’s pressure.”
Alvarez credited senior leadership for the championship.
“We’ve had good teams the last couple of years but haven’t been able to take the next step,” he said. “One thing we focused on is being a team, not a group of individuals. No matter who was out there, a freshman or sophomore, the seniors continued to push.”
Golden Eagles senior Chris Jurewicz, who didn’t play because of an injury, received the Mental Attitude Award for Class 2A boys soccer.
“I felt bad for him,” Alvarez said. “He had a hip injury and came back two weeks ago. He was playing significant minutes before (the injury). I felt bad for kids like that who couldn’t get in (the game), but he’s a great kid and he’s all about the team.”
For the season, senior Will Scheu led Guerin with 23 goals, followed by Zermeno with 19.

Outside hitter helps lead Shamrocks to special season
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Westfield High School outside hitter
Georgia Bresnahan missed her junior volleyball season following surgery on both knees in the summer of 2024.
“It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, having to sit out from volleyball,” she said.
“I’ve had injuries before, so it was easy to get down because I had to sit out again. But I think it helped me for the better because I’m stronger because of it. My love for the sport kind of grew because I realized how much I missed it. It kind of helped drive me to be better than I was before.”
The 5-foot-10 Bresnahan helped lead the Shamrocks to a 26-2 record. Class 4A No. 2 Westfield lost to No. 1 Fort Wayne Carroll in five sets Nov. 1 in the IHSAA Class 4A semistate opener at Rochester High School. Westfield won only its second regional in school history.

Bresnahan was the season leader for the Shamrocks in kills.
“She is someone who has been a glue for us,” Westfield coach Sean Keeve said. “She’s one heck of a teammate, one heck of a quiet leader. She deserves a lot of recognition for our success this year. Georgia filled some big shoes, playing six rotations for us. (She) generally never came off the floor. She was a big back row attacking option for us.
She held her own on serve receive and did a great job defensively.”
Keeve said Bresnahan was reliable in stressful situations.
“She was never afraid to do the right thing when the moment called for it, and that’s something that’s pretty hard

Bresnahan, who became a varsity starter as a freshman, said she has made the most improvement with her strength over her prep career.
That helped propel the Shamrocks’ success this season, along with the team’s bond.
“Our team is so close together,” she said. “We’ve had to go through some hard games together, and those kind of prepared us to get further into the tournament. Our wins helped build our confidence, and we gained more and more confidence as the season went on.”
Bresnahan has committed to play for NCAA Division I Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
“I really love the coaches,” she said. “They are super kind and welcoming. I feel like I can progress as a volleyball player and person on the team. The girls are really sweet. I’m excited with the level of play on the team as well. I think we can accomplish some cool things.”

Westfield, Zionsville partner for future
By Marney Simon news@youarecurrent.com
Westfield Mayor Scott Willis was a special guest of Zionsville Mayor John Stehr at the Zionsville State of the Town address Oct. 28 at Indianapolis Executive Airport.
Stehr announced that negotiations are underway to bring a U.S. Customs and Border Protection office to the airport, an addition that would connect Hoosiers with international markets and open doors for local businesses.
Willis spoke about collaboration and regionalism, particularly in the area of the airport.
“Regionalism is very important to the state of Indiana, especially central Indiana,” he said. “That regionalism has really bonded (Stehr) and I together. We meet routinely (and we) are working very diligently to create a vision around this airport. What a true example of regionalism. It’s in the Town of Zionsville but Hamilton County owns the property. I know Boone County plays a significant role in what’s happening here. And Westfield is now starting to raise their hand and say, ‘Hey, we’d like to be a part of yours as well.’ Because what happens at this airport certainly has an impact in Westfield. Just go to Grand Park on any weekend, especially if there’s a big night game. You’re going to see all the major universities flying into this airport, and you’re going to see all the big logos on their planes. So, we have definitely benefited from this.”
Willis said the city has taken cues from Zionsville when it comes to downtown revitalization projects.
“You’re going to see things that we took from you — things that we love about Zionsville,” he said. “You’ll see some of that in our community. I like to think our Park Street restaurants are modeled a bit after (the Village in Zionsville). We’re constantly looking across the border at what you guys are doing and bringing those best practices into our community.”
Willis also said there is room for cooperation and collaboration between Westfield and Zionsville as both municipalities plan for the future.

Parents balk at WWS plan to convert Westfield Intermediate School to Westfield Elementary School
By Todd Golden todd@youarecurrent.com
The Westfield Washington Schools rebalancing effort affects students in every corner of the school district as WWS responds to city growth.
One of the most contentious rebalancing issues relates to Westfield Elementary School. The school will be on what is the current Westfield Intermediate School campus, which is being converted to an elementary school for the 202627 school year.
Rebalancing has reassigned some students to Westfield Elementary. An Oct. 28 public hearing on rebalancing was dominated by parents who expressed concerns about Westfield Elementary.
Current spoke to parents and to WWS Superintendent John Atha about some of the issues that were discussed at the Oct. 28 meeting. Here are a few of the concerns expressed by parents and Atha’s responses.
INEQUITY COMPARED TO OTHER WWS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Concern: Westfield Elementary’s site is in the city and doesn’t have the same space as other Westfield elementaries.
Parent comment: “I feel that my children are being moved to a school that is less equitable than the school we are at. We will be the only elementary school in an urban location and not a suburban location,” Maria Fellows said.
Atha comment: “(Inequity) is an important term in education for a lot of things. So, I start with programming in space. I think (parents) have switched to the campus, instead of the school building itself. I’m not saying they’re not valid (concerns). What I’m saying is those are things that we have thought about that we are addressing. I don’t see those as barriers to having a school there. I think, ‘what is the solution to address that concern?’, because you have (inequities) on almost any elementary site.”
AGE, VIABILITY OF THE SCHOOL
Concern: The Westfield Elementary site has had a school on the property
since 1961. Concerns have been raised about old building materials, such as asbestos, as well as how long the school will be used.
Parent comment: “The kids don’t need this school,” Jonathan Storer said. “It’s a very outdated school. They’re throwing money into a school that they’re probably going to tear down to make more space for the high school in five years or so. So, it’s just a waste of money.”
Atha comment: “There is a lot of misinformation. There’s no air-quality issues. The building is asbestos-free. The oldest part was built in 1988, which was after the requirement to be asbestos-free. It’s one of our buildings we’ve updated and renovated more often because fifth and sixth grade has continued to grow. It has the newest and best HVAC systems in place because we (installed it) more recently than our (other) elementary schools.”
POSSIBLE CHARTER SCHOOL
Concern: WWS is keeping Westfield
Community members attend the Oct. 28 Westfield Washington Schools board meeting.
Elementary open to protect it from being bought to be used as a charter school. Per Indiana law, a charter school can lease or buy an unused school building for $1.
Parent comment: “The reason they’re doing it is because if they don’t utilize the building, they can lose it to a law where the charter schools take it for a dollar,” Eric Schultz said. “So, what we’re saying here is that they’re using the elementary kids to save an asset.”
Atha comment: “The reason the building is still in the mix is that it is a sound building with great systems and we’ve invested in heavily. It’s over 200,000 square feet, so as a community asset, its value is probably $100 million. It has amenities that none of our other elementary schools will ever have, two gymnasiums, two multipurpose rooms, extra space for project labs. As a community asset, it is a great school building. As far as charter schools, I actually think — I would have to read the law — because that school is on a campus with another school. I think I could fight that, so I
don’t have any concerns (on a charter school buying the property).”
PROXIMITY TO
U.S. 31
Concern: Being close to a major highway creates safety, noise and air pollution concerns.
Parent comment: “Some (WWS) kids will get to start their day surrounded by fields, nature and the quiet calm of a real neighborhood school,” Cailtin Bond said during the public hearing. “Others will start their morning surrounded by asphalt, parking lots and the roar of U.S. 31.”
Atha comment: “I’ve had the teachers tell me that they’ve been on that campus since 1997 and they’ve never had any of those concerns about noise or air quality. Now what my response to that is that families are emotional about this. They want their voices heard. There might be some questions or things that have popped up, rumors that aren’t true, that they’re asking those questions and they’re kind of seeking answers, but a lot of that is misinformation and untrue.”
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND SIXTH-GRADE STUDENTS TOGETHER
Concern: While construction is ongoing, there will be sixth-graders in Westfield Elementary for the 2026-27 school year because Westfield West Middle School won’t be completed until the 2027-28 school year.
Parent comment: “This forced combination of K-through-sixth-grade students creates numerous problems, especially regarding the lack of a separate wing for sixth-graders,” Ashley Leininger said during the public hearing. “The floor plan presented showed sixth grade classrooms intertwined with younger grades.”
Atha comment: “We’ll manage that and make sure that sixth-graders aren’t using the restroom at the same time that first graders are right or they’re not even using the same restrooms. We understand that.”

Centier Bank breaks ground
New, larger Westfield branch will open in 2026
By Todd Golden todd@youarecurrent.com
Centier Bank, which opened its first Westfield branch in 2016, broke ground Oct. 28 on a new building at 126 E. Spring Mill Pointe Dr.
The new building will replace the current Centier Bank at 3002 Westfield Rd. It is expected to open in the summer of 2026.
“We’ve actually been looking for a location for a while, and every time we select one, somebody else would gobble it up, which really goes to your point about a tremendous growth in this area,” Centier Bank Greater Indianapolis Market President Troy Kafka said.
The bank will be between the ALDI supermarket and the Slim Chickens restaurant and will be visible from Ind. 32.
Westfield Mayor Scott Willis took part in the groundbreaking.
“We’re glad to see you guys continue to do business in the community,” Willis said. “It’s always a great day as mayor to show up and do a groundbreaking. We’re continuing to grow and we’re continuing to grow our commercial tax base which is absolutely vital for the rest of the city.”
Centier Bank Regional Sales Manager Ben Studebaker has seen firsthand how
the community has grown and said Centier Bank plans to grow with it.
“I’m a resident of Westfield,” Studebaker said. “We started here in 2016 as an entry into the community, and now we found that we really are growing with the community. So, being able to build a larger location to service the community better and be more forefront within all of the growth – it’s extremely exciting to us.”
Kafka said the new building, which will be larger than the current Westfield branch, will have more amenities.
“We like to replicate the hospitality industry, and so when you come in, we’ve got a coffee station and coffee bar,” Kafka said. “We’ve got coin machines, which a lot of banks don’t have, and they’re going to see the warmth and the friendliness of our staff that we think sometimes our competition doesn’t have.”
Design group gives back
Old Town Design Group partners with Homes of Hope to build a home in Mexico
news@youarecurrent.com
Carmel-based home builders Old Town Design Group recently partnered with the charity organization Homes of Hope to build a new home for a family in need in Mexico.
Homes of Hope has built more than 10,000 homes around the world, including many in Mexico, where families face housing insecurity. Selected families live in unsafe or unstable conditions, and a secure, permanent home can be life changing, according to the organization.
In Mexico, Homes of Hope provides
jobs to local family members of the recipients, empowering them to be part of the homebuilding process. The local family members build cabinetry, windows, beds and more, laying the foundation for shelter and self-sufficiency.
In total, 97 percent of children who receive a Homes of Hope home go on to graduate school, compared to the national average of graduates at just 26 percent in Mexico. By having a stable home, the children can focus on their education and futures, according to the organization.
For the Old Town Design Group team, each year’s trip is a reminder that design and purpose can go hand in hand.

Veteran performer prepares for his turn as Willy Loman
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Aaron Moon never planned on playing the iconic character of Willy Loman in “Death of a Salesman.”
“I went in to audition for Charley, the neighbor,” he said. “At the end of the audition, my lovely wife said, ‘He hasn’t read for Willy.’ They threw me into the last scene, the big blowup with his son. So, I just had the appropriate level of exhaustion at the time. They thought it was good acting. I was just tired.”
Moon plays Loman, the despondent salesman, in Main Street Productions’ presentation of “Death of a Salesman” Nov. 13-23 at Basile Westfield Playhouse
“This is my first time being on stage for this production,” he said. “I’ve done props on the show and worked in other capacities.”
Moon, 50, said the role is a logical progression for him given his long career.
“But it’s terrifying,” he said of playing Loman. “It’s so very difficult to be indifferent about Willy — and you have to be indifferent because Willy is not A or B. Willy is all shades of gray. He’s a wonderful guy here and a (bad) guy on the other side. You have to rectify that and not have an opinion about that. Willy deserves to be done well. I hope to disappear (in the role), so the audience leaves just thinking about Willy.”
Some acting giants have taken their turn in the role. Lee J. Cobb was the original Willy Loman on Broadway in 1949. George C. Scott, Dustin Hoffman, Brian Dennehy and Philip Seymour Hoffman are among those who have portrayed Willy in Broadway revivals. Fredric March played Willy in a 1951 movie while Hoffman returned to the role in a 1985 TV movie.
Moon, a Whitestown resident who grew up in Frankfort, started his acting career at a young age at the Red Barn Theatre in Frankfort. He has re-
turned to act at the Red Barn in recent years.
Moon has spent most of his career professionally acting or performing technical crew work.
“I kind of went all over the country working at different theaters in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul),” he said. “I did a little film and a lot of voiceover work.”
Avon resident Vincent Pratt plays one of Loman’s two sons, Biff, who has a troubled relationship with his father.
“The last time I saw this production was in 2008 when I was a senior at Perry Meridian High School,” Pratt said. “I had not revisited it since then. I showed up for auditions and didn’t realize how big the part is, so it’s been a challenge, for sure. It’s a show for anyone who has ever been disappointed with where they are in life.”
Pratt said the show is the most dialogue-heavy he has been in. It also is his first time performing with Main
Street Productions.
“Most of my experience has been in Marion County or with Hendricks Civic Theatre in Hendricks County,” Pratt said.
Fishers resident Kelly Keller is the director.
“This is my first drama,” Keller said. “I’ve done a lot of comedies and even done some dramedies. But this is my first really heavy drama. Comedy seems easier to me because timing doesn’t have to be perfect. But on this (play), it’s really important we get the timing right, the words right and the tone right. I think it’s more of growing into something that has a little more attention to detail. Everything I’ve done has prepared me to do something this heavy.”
Susan Hill, who plays Linda Loman, is a Noblesville resident, while Fishers resident Erin Keller, Kelly’s daughter, plays Miss Forsythe. Kelly’s wife, Tanya Keller, is the stage manager. For more, westfieldplayhouse.org.

Joy to make Carmel debut
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Samara Joy has sung her entire life. However, she wasn’t exposed to jazz in a meaningful way until college.
“In high school, I sang a couple of (jazz) songs, but I wasn’t really interested in the tradition,” said Joy, who graduated from State University of New York’s Purchase College. “I wasn’t immersed in it as much. In college is where I pretty much heard Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald for the first time and really listened to Betty Carter, Carmen McRae and Abbey Lincoln.”
Joy quickly embraced making her own interpretations of jazz standards and her star rose quickly. She will perform at 8 p.m. Nov. 14 at the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
Joy, 26, won five Grammy Awards by age 25. She won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2023 and Best Jazz Artist in 2023 and 2025. She won Grammys for Best Jazz Performance in 2024 and 2025.
Joy drew attention early through her TikTok videos.
For more, visit thecenterpresents.org and samarajoy.com.
“(The concert) is going to be a blend of things that I’ve been working on for the most recent album as well as new arrangements that haven’t been recorded quite yet,” Joy said. “I think as a performing artist, I find the most joy in not only finding new ways to make older material sound fresh for a new audience but also trying out completely new songs and seeing how they kind of land with different people. So, I’m excited for that opportunity.”
Vocalist set for series
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Jessica Hawkins loves the uniqueness of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s Mélange Series.
The series features a vocalist, dancer and visual artist simultaneously creating art. Hawkins, a vocalist and Fishers resident, will make her debut in the series with performances at 5 p.m. Nov. 15 and 3 p.m. Nov. 16 at The Florence at the Academy of GHDT in Carmel.
sual artist.
Hawkins said she has sung in cabarets before, but most of those performances consisted of three to five songs with other acts in between hers.
“What I am most looking forward to with the Mélange performances is seeing how the collaboration of the three different art forms come together,” Hawkins said. “I have seen some of the past Mélange Series, and each one is so unique. Each artist, and combination of artists, will create a different tapestry of sight, sound and movement. It is intimidating to not know the exact result but also very exciting.”

Hawkins
“This is quite a challenge for me to create a 60-minute program with a good mix of songs and dialogue between the numbers,” she said. “My decision-making skills have certainly been getting a workout. Having a dancer and visual artist to equally bring the audience into this experience is also a new and thrilling treat for me.
“
Hawkins said the dancer and artist won’t know her musical selections before they hear them during the first performance.
“I certainly tried to pick songs that would be danceable with varying styles and tempos, as well as songs that together would make a cohesive theme,” Hawkins said. “I have incredible respect for artists that can perform any kind of improvised art.

ENTERTAINMENT
Noblesville resident makes acting debut in CCP play
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Gregory Roberts was seeking to complete a bucket list item.
“I turned 50 in February,” Roberts said. “I’ve had a list in my head of things I was either too lazy, too busy or too broke to pursue. Community theater was at the top of the list, and right beneath that was playing Centre Court at Wimbledon. I found that to be infinitely more difficult.”
The Noblesville resident makes his acting debut in Carmel Community Players’ production of “Four Weddings and an Elvis,” which runs Nov. 14-26 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.
Roberts plays Fist, a felon.
“I feel like everyone here seems like a seasoned actor,” Roberts said. “I’m just trying to keep up and not be a weak link. I found everyone here is really supportive, especially (director) Nicole (Amsler), who has given me a lot of autonomy to figure out this character on my own, doing a little ad-libbing and a little improv. She has been supportive of the changes I’ve made. That has put me at ease. Memorizing the lines has come easier to me.”
Roberts has found a niche.
“This has been the most fun I’ve had in my life,” he said. “I wish I had done this 25 years ago.”
Amsler pitched the script of “Four Weddings and an Elvis” to Carmel Community Players. The plot centers on Sandy, who owns a wedding chapel in Las Vegas.
“There are four different weddings that take place over time, and the last one brings everyone back together,” Amsler said. “The first vignette is about a revenge marriage. The second one is about Hollywood has-beens that do a publicity stunt. The third is about an excon marrying a mild-mannered postal worker and her ex-con boyfriend shows up, trying to break the marriage up. Elvis does make a surprising cameo.”
Amsler said she has worked with some of the cast before and some are good friends.
Veronique Duprey, an Indianapolis
resident, plays Sandy.
“The challenge is I’m pretty much always on stage, so it’s a little bit demanding,” she said. “It’s a fun role. Sandy is a little bit quirky, a little bit sarcastic. But really, she is a romantic at heart and hopes she sees true love unfold in front of her.”
Duprey said she wasn’t familiar with the play but enjoyed the script.
“I thought it was really funny,” she said. “Sometimes, comedies in theater are not my style, but I thought this was clever, funny and really sweet.”
Duprey’s daughter, Audrey, also is in the play. They were in a play together when Audrey was younger.
Kelly Melcho, an Indianapolis resident, plays an ex-con, Fiona.
“She is so much fun,” Melcho said. “She shows many faces. As soon as she arrives, she shows this tough exterior. She has this, ‘Don’t mess with me’ attitude, and as soon as she sees her fiancé, it’s, ‘Hey, baby.’ She is enraptured with him, but you find later how insecure she is and how defensive she is of him and their relationship. She is trying really hard not to swear and trying to improve herself.”
The show is Melcho’s first with Carmel Community Players.
Jacob Bradford, an Alexandria resident, also is making his CCP debut, playing her fiancé.
“What I like about this role is you see growth in him,” he said. “I play this mild-mannered guy who learns to stand up for himself and stand up for his wife in a respectful way. It’s cool to watch him grow.”
Bradford, 34, has been acting since he was 10 years old.
