Westfield City Council halts process on establishing garage fees
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
The opening of the City of Westfield’s downtown parking garage was delayed Sept. 8 after councilors expressed confusion over parking fines and fees.
CITY NEWS
The 300-space garage at The Union, across from Grand Junction Plaza, was expected to open Sept. 15. An ordinance establishing parking fees for the garage and adjacent street parking was introduced in August. As proposed, the first three hours of parking at the facility would be free. The first paid hour would be $2, followed by a $1 per hour fee at hour five and later. Street parking would follow the same schedule, except free parking would only extend the first two hours. The city has an agreement with Denison to handle parking management.
But councilors tapped the brakes Sept. 8 on approval, citing confusion on how fines for parking over the free limit are defined within the ordinance.
“Section 1 says it’s $10 within 72 hours or becomes $20 and payable within 14 days. But then if you go down to Exhibit A, it says it’s $20 if it’s paid within seven days, but then it also says it could be $35,” Councilor Joe Duepner said. “I know that’s a lot, but I’ve looked at this (several) times, and the numbers are everywhere. If I can’t understand it, and some of the other councilors can’t understand it, I don’t know how we expect the citizens to understand what they’re supposed to pay.”
Duepner and Councilor Jon Dartt read several additional examples in the ordinance that were confusing or contradictory. Councilors also said there was confusion in the language on the appeals process for fines. Duepner said imposition of a fee without a clear way to appeal that fee could be a violation of due process.
Chief of Legal Kaitlin Glazer said some of the confusion in the language may have been a holdover from the previous parking ordinance, since the parking garage fees were an amendment, not a new ordinance.
Mayor Scott Willis expressed frustration that questions on the ordinance — which was set for approval upon the second reading — were not brought up before the meeting.
“You bring up some valid points, but this
has been out there for a while,” he said. “This would have been nice to have so we could adjust to that, and now we’re trying to do it on the fly and it’s sloppy. It’s sloppy work on our part as the city. It’s sloppy work, I think on the council’s side, that we’re just now hearing about it. We’re in a dilemma — what do you guys want to do? We have a parking garage that we desperately need to get open.”
The council opted to table the measure until the language could be cleaned up.
Deputy Mayor Danielle Carey-Tolan said the garage cannot open to the public until the ordinance is passed.
Besides confusion on fines and fees, Duepner said he found the three-hour limit for free parking in the garage not adequate.
“If we’re trying to build a destination place to go such as downtown, which I think is what we’re trying to do here, if you have a bite to eat at H Steakhouse and then go to Sun King or hit up some shops, you could easily pass three hours,” he said. “I’m not suggesting that we don’t have a time limit, I just think three is too short.”
Duepner also questioned how individual cars are monitored to make sure they do not exceed that three-hour limit. City officials said signs will tell drivers to pull in forward so that license plates are visible, and cameras in the garage will capture how long cars are on-site.
On-street parking will be monitored by Denison workers.
City leaders said the zones — garage, street parking, and free parking further away — are designed to incentivize those who want to visit downtown for extended periods and those who work at downtown businesses to park further away for free, while those only seeking to be downtown for two to three hours can park closer.
“The city’s goal is not to run up parking fees on our residents and our visitors. We have to have some level of accountability,” Willis said, adding that other Hamilton County municipalities have experienced people using garages for long-term parking. He said although Westfield has plans to add more parking downtown, the garage is not large enough to accommodate an abundance of visitors or extended parking for employees.
“We’re not going to be punitive in enforcing this, but we have to have some basic rules to keep parking spots moving,” he said. “Three hours (is) pretty liberal for grabbing a bite to eat and doing some shopping. We’re not going to be out there (looking) for ways to give you a ticket. That’s not our goal. Our goal was to create a standardization to keep people coming and flowing through our downtown.”
Willis also said the parking fees will help offset future maintenance costs of the garages.
The council will consider the ordinance no later than Sept. 22, but the council may call a special meeting prior to the next regular meeting for consideration.

Government and Judicial Center to undergo expansion
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center at 1 N. 8th St. in Noblesville will soon have a new look — and more room.
COUNTY NEWS
A $65 to $70 million expansion will involve construction of a three-story addition on the west end of the existing building, which currently houses several county departments. It will add at least 100,000 square feet and include security enhancements, the addition of seven courtrooms and a plaza with restrooms.
The project is scheduled to break ground this winter and be completed by 2028. American Structurepoint, an Indianapolis-based firm that provides architecture, engineering and consulting services, is handling master planning, programming and design services for the project.
Hamilton County Commissioner President Steve Dillinger said the expansion is designed to be cohesive with the current building.
“One of the things that we were very specific about is that we didn’t want to distract from (the current) building,” Dillinger said. “We wanted whatever was built to blend in and not just look like an add on. We put a lot of thought and effort into making this addition be part of the building.”
Hamilton County Buildings and Grounds
Director Steve Wood said the courts will be on the second floor, and the first floor will eventually have assessors and clerks. The third floor will have room for future growth for the county courts.
Part of the expansion will include a designated voting entrance.
“The commissioners were very point blank about a separate entrance for elections, so voters don’t have to go through the metal detector and through the guards,” Wood said. “We’ve gotten a lot of complaints about that over the years, so that’s been arranged.”
Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said the project is long-awaited and the county has been working for several years to find a spacing solution for the building, which was built in 1992.
“We originally had a plan put together, but it was during COVID-19 when prices
escalated through the roof. We decided at that time it probably wasn’t financially feasible and probably wasn’t a project we wanted,” Heirbrandt said. “There’s a lot that goes into this and a lot of things that are going to be happening. It’s not your typical building product. We’re going to be doing some remodeling too to accommodate some of the other offices during (construction) as well.”
Heirbrandt said judges in Hamilton County have the highest caseloads in Indiana, and the main focus of the expansion is to accommodate the courts and state mandates the county has to add more judges. It also will provide space to consolidate multiple county offices.
“This will help not only the growth in caseloads that the courts are having here, but will also accommodate several offices,” Heirbrandt said. “With the population explosion that we’re having in Hamilton County, this will address some needs.
The more people that you have, the more services you need to be able to provide to those citizens.”
Construction will be going on at the same time as the infrastructure project in Noblesville, Embrace Downtown. Heirbrandt said the commissioners and City of Noblesville officials are collaborating on how to make construction conducive for citizens.
Dillinger said it will involve a lot of patience from all sides.
“The city kind of indicated to us that they would probably hold up a little bit of their city project, at least as it relates to 8th Street and part of Logan Street, while this construction is going on,” Dillinger said.

Vote center proposal clears first hurdle
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Hamilton County Council unanimously approved a resolution regarding the creation of vote centers in Hamilton County Sept. 3.
ELECTION
The Hamilton County Commissioners also approved the initiative Sept. 8.
To go into effect, the county’s election board must unanimously vote in favor of the change. If approved, vote centers would be used for the May 5, 2026, primary election.
The next election board meeting is Sept. 18.
Of Indiana’s 92 counties, 67 use Election
Day voting centers, which allow voters to cast a ballot at any polling location within the county. Currently in Hamilton County, voters must vote at their assigned precinct.
“We have taken the number of vote centers that we need, which, by law, is 26, and we’ve doubled that to 52,” Hamilton County Clerk Kathy Williams said of the plan.
County officials are proposing at least 10 voting machines at each center.
County officials said the switch would eliminate voters showing up at the wrong precinct and being turned away, allow the county to hire fewer poll workers and allow malfunctioning voting machines to be replaced more quickly, as backup machines would be programmed with all ballots rather than a ballot for a specific precinct.

Westfield issues artist call for
historic installation
news@youarecurrent.com
The City of Westfield will invest $250,000 for an art installation that honors the city’s ties to the Underground Railroad.
CULTURE
The city put out a public call for artists for a public art installation at The Grand on Main, formerly Jersey 32, a mixed-use development recently approved for Ind. 32 and Poplar Street/Westfield Boulevard.
The installation will be a light-based, interactive public artwork as a central feature in downtown Westfield. According to a news release, the goal is to reflect the spirit, heritage and voices of Westfield’s past and present while establishing a meaningful destination for residents and visitors.
“This project will highlight our city’s Quaker history and role in the Underground Railroad while celebrating the welcoming and growing culture of Westfield today,” Mayor Scott Willis stated.
Westfield was part of the Underground Railroad’s central route through Indiana, which traveled through Madison, Columbus and Indianapolis, continuing north to South Bend. According to the city, Westfield had eight documented Underground Railroad Stations, although historians believe there
may have been more.
The city is seeking experienced artists or teams to design a large-scale installation that is immersive and visually engaging during both day and night. The all-inclusive budget for the project is $250,000, to include artist fees, materials, design, fabrication, transportation, installation, permits, taxes, insurance, soil analysis, engineering, lodging, travel and community engagement.
The installation should reflect Westfield’s Quaker roots as part of the Underground Railroad.
The art installation project is a collaboration with GANGGANG, a cultural development firm that centers beauty, equity, and culture in cities.
“At a time when there is apprehension around preserving history and heritage, it is refreshing that a city is taking steps to boldly talk about their identity and the culture of the city.” stated Alan Bacon, chief strategist and co-founder of GANGGANG.
“It’s uplifting, informative and provides context for Indiana’s important story.”
Proposals are due by 11:59 p.m. Sept. 22. Semifinalists will be chosen by Sept. 26 with one month to submit proposals. The anticipated timeframe for installation is November 2027.

Indy 500 Festival CEO to retire in January
northindy@youarecurrent.com
The 500 Festival announced Sept. 9 that President and CEO Bob Bryant plans to retire effective Jan. 9, 2026, after more than a decade with the organization.
NONPROFIT
“Bryant joined the 500 Festival in 2013 and has been instrumental in advancing the organization’s mission to enrich lives, foster a positive impact on the

Website connects homeowners with contractors
By Samantha Kupiainen news@youarecurrent.com
Zionsville-based tech company My Project Story connects homeowners with contractors for home renovations and repairs.
TECHNOLOGY
The company, led by founder Jeff Wraley, is the sister company of Groundwork, a software company also founded by Wraley.
My Project Story works by allowing clients to submit a video tour of their renovation or project vision on the website, with no app download needed. Clients talk through their project and what they want to complete, as if the contractors were there with them.
For the second step, clients set their desired results, whether it be a certain number of quotes they are seeking or budget parameters. During this step, users will answer a few questions to ensure their expectations align with the contractor’s expectations.
The final step is getting matched with vetted and highly rated contractors in the area based on the project and budget.
The website is free for homeowners. Wraley said the unique aspect is that contractors already know the project parameters when matched with clients.
“Those new leads are highly qualified because the homeowners that we’re working with are sending in videos of their project, and they can see them right away, whereas before, the pros were chasing down a
phone number and even voicemail and all that stuff,” he said. “We’ve kind of tweaked the software that we’ve had for a couple years, and we’ve made it so homeowners and contractors can collaborate in one seamless communication stream.”
My Project Story launched in May 2025. The idea to start a company to connect clients with contractors developed when Wraley and his wife completed several home renovations and experienced firsthand how tough it can be to find trusted professionals to help with home renovation projects.
“We’ve always kind of bought the ugly house on the block and worked to make it pretty,” he said. “We’ve been pretty successful at that several times over. Having that experience, I realized it’s very difficult, time consuming and kind of frustrating for homeowners to get in with pros and for pros to get in touch with homeowners.”
My Project Story aims to eliminate the time it takes to research, find and get in contact with pros in the area, and to help keep the budget in check.
“There’s a lot of expectation misalignment,” he said. “Pros don’t know if the homeowners understand the budget that it might take to get their project done. Sometimes contractors roll up to the site and they say ‘Hey, it’s going to be $20,000 to do what you want to do.’ and the homeowner thinks it’s a $2,000 project. Those misalignments happen all the time.”

Path removed from Dunbar Road Project
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
The Hamilton County Council approved a resolution for an interlocal agreement Sept. 3 with the Town of Sheridan regarding the Dunbar Road project — with a caveat.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The measure was tabled in August after neighbors on Dunbar Road approached the council with objections over a proposed multiuse path as part of the road-widening project between Ind. 38 and 236th Street.
Funding for the $21 million plan to rehabilitate and reconstruct Dunbar Road was secured by Hamilton County in 2023 through an 80-20 match from the Federal Highway Administration and administered by INDOT. Although the funds were secured by the county, the road went from county ownership to the Town of Sheridan ownership after voter-approved reorganization in 2024 consolidated Sheridan and Adams
Township. Under the reorganization, all roads in Adams Township are owned by the Town of Sheridan. Previously, Dunbar Road was under the jurisdiction of the county.
Prior to a vote to approve the resolution, councilors asked for legal clarification.
Hamilton County Attorney Connor Sullivan said at this stage of planning, the project is only defined as road construction on Dunbar Road. Although the path was included in the scope of the project as proposed, Sullivan said the language of the Dunbar Road project description, as issued to the county by INDOT, does not specifically include a walking path.
“(The council can) acknowledge the resolution and the county’s understanding — in accordance with what (the council) is agreeing to and what the commissioners are agreeing to is that the trail is not included in the scope of the project,” he said.
The council approved the interlocal agreement contingent on the path being removed from the final project.

Fishers senior quarterback’s work ethic leads to success
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Fishers High School senior quarterback
Gage Sturgill is dedicated to his craft.
“Gage is a student of the game. He studies the game and is constantly breaking down film like a coach,” Tigers coach Curt Funk said. “He leads by example and was voted by his teammates as a team captain. I am so proud of Gage and his work ethic.”
Sturgill completed 48 of 73 passes for 774 yards and six touchdown passes in the first three games of this season.
“Gage has a strong understanding of the whole offense and the job of each position on the field,” Funk said. “Gage puts in countless hours studying opposing defenses, and this helps with his reads at the quarterback position.”
Following a season-opening loss to Carmel, Fishers defeated Lawrence North and Noblesville prior to the Sept. 12 meeting against visiting Hamilton Southeastern.
“I’m pleased with how we have responded but there is still a lot of work to do,” Sturgill said. “A team goal we have is win-

ning the regional.”
His personal goals are to be the Indiana Mr. Football quarterback position winner, throw for 25-plus touchdowns and complete at least 70 percent of his passes.
As a junior, Sturgill suffered a season-ending right shoulder injury in the fifth game.
“Gage was a tremendous teammate last season after the injury,” Funk said. “Gage

helped other offensive players and studied the game plan each week to make sure the team was ready for their opponent. Once cleared to throw and train, he is on a mission to be the best. His work ethic is unbelievable, and I am so proud of how he responded to adversity. The team feeds off his grit and determination.”
In the five games, he completed 83 of 135 passes for 1,156 yards with 13 touchdowns and two interceptions.
“It was very hard to have to sit out with an injury last year,” he said. “But during that time, I learned a lot about myself and learned a lot of things that have made me better at football that I don’t think I

would’ve learned if I didn’t get injured.”
Sturgill said he made the most improvement after his freshman season when he started working with former Penn State University quarterback Anthony Morelli, who runs X-Factor QB Academy in Westfield.
Sturgill said he started playing football when he was 5 or 6 in a flag football league.
“It’s always been my favorite sport, even though I did play basketball,” he said. “I knew football was what I wanted to focus my time on.”
Sturgill has committed to play for Western Illinois University, a Football Championship Subdivision program.
“The determining factor of my choice to commit to Western Illinois was the coaches,” Sturgill said. “It felt like a place where I’d be able to communicate well with my coaches and be a great place for me to develop. I also loved the vision Coach (Joe) Davis had and I could already see lots of progress after only a year (as coach) and I wanted to be a part of that success.”

County wraps budget hearings
news@currentnoblesville.com
The Hamilton County Council concluded its 2026 budget hearings Sept. 3 at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center.
GOVERNMENT
Hamilton County Communications Director Tammy Sander said over the course of two days, councilors and county staff worked collaboratively to bring the $324 million budget into line with revenue forecasts.
Sander said a major topic of discussion was the long-term impact of Senate Bill 1, Indiana’s recently passed property tax reform legislation.
“While supporters say it will save homeowners $1.3 billion over three years, critics argue it will significantly reduce local government resources,” Sander stated.
Hamilton County Financial Consultant Mike Reuter emphasized the challenge the legislation poses for the county.
“While the effects will not significantly impact the 2026 budget, future years will see reductions in property tax revenue and limits on levy growth,” Reuter stated. “It’s important we plan ahead so Hamilton
County can continue meeting the needs of a growing community despite these new fiscal pressures.”
Sander said the budget hearings also marked a transition in county leadership, with more than a half dozen new department heads and elected officials participating in the process for the first time, such as new administrative officials for the council and Hamilton County Commissioners, 911 Dispatch, Community Corrections and Emergency Operations. The county’s newly elected auditor Todd Clevenger and surveyor Gary Duncan also participated.
“This year’s hearings were unlike any other,” Council President Sue Maki stated. “So many people were new to this process, including myself as president of the council. I can’t thank everyone enough for making the tough adjustments and reductions in the budget so we can meet our revenue forecast.”
The final 2026 budget is scheduled to be adopted at a special session of the Hamilton County Council Oct. 13., before being sent to the State of Indiana for approval. Once approved, it will go into effect Jan. 1, 2026.

Fender attends Westfield Middle School as an eighth grader every day as usual. But twice a week — Monday and Wednesday — he leaves early and heads to IU Indianapolis, where he was enrolled in August. And so far, he said college life is a lot different from regular school.
“They started me in one class just to kind of test the waters and make sure that I can do everything that I need to do, make sure that I’m not struggling and I was placed correctly,” he said. “But then after the first semester, they’re going to kind of trickle in some new classes that I can try.”
The class is a 70-minute long algebra course normally taken by college freshmen or as part of a high school honors class. His enrollment is part of a special immersion program at IU Indy. Getting there was an effort that started when Fender was just an elementary student.
“When I was in kindergarten, I tested into the upper 2 percent of the entire entire district,” he said. “My mom got called in and everything, so from that moment she was kind of looking for opportunities.”
Fender said the family looked into private school, but they were impressed with the advanced math program at Westfield Washington Schools. Not wanting to pull him from the same school as his friends, they decided to look for enrichment programs to enhance his skills while offering an additional challenge.
“Even with advanced classes, I was still doing really well and I felt like I was grasping the material faster than we were moving on to new material,” he said. “So, my mom remembered (a program) at Purdue where you used to be able to go and sit in on a lecture. It didn’t seem to exist anymore, but my mom didn’t stop looking.”

After more research, the family found the The IU Indianapolis SPAN Division — an immersion program established in 1984 to provide opportunities for academically motivated students to take college classes.
After an interview with program faculty members, Fender found out it was more than just a lecture or two.
“You’re not actually just going to be sitting in on college lectures,” he said. It’s going to be a little bit different. So, I am officially enrolled, and no teacher or student will know that I am not technically (a freshman), I am just a college student.”
Fender’s mother, Delesa Brokamp, said math always came naturally to him.
“I have photos or videos of him as early as five, where he’s doing long division,” she said. “We had a chalkboard wall, and he’s doing math problems and explaining them to me.”
Brokamp said she and Fender’s father, Kevin Brokamp, went for an interview for the SPAN program after they submitted his transcripts, and found out he had already been accepted to the program and the interview was more of a formality.
She said she was pleased when she found out his identity as a minor would be protected.
“They don’t (tell anyone who they are) for anonymity and protection, because they are minors,” she said. “They keep it as a protected unit. So it’s a whole immersion program. He’s completely enrolled as a college freshman. It’s also so there’s no preferential treatment, so they don’t say ‘Oh, you’re 14, I’ll give you extra time.’ They treat them completely equal as if they
were an 18-year-old or a 25-year-old or whatever age in college.”
Brokamp said at the time, they thought the program would more closely resemble an internship. Fender took a few days to think about it and ultimately decided to go for it.
“It’s been a whirlwind,” she said. “It’s not at all what we were expecting but I’m glad that it happened, and I think this is probably the best case scenario. I expected he was going to sit in some classes and just listen to some smart people and pick their brains a little. But he said, ‘Oh. I’m in college.’”
Although the SPAN Division is generally geared toward high school students, Fender is part of the Highly Accelerated Scholar Initiative, a program for academically gifted and high-ability primary and secondary students.
YOUNG ACHIEVER
Westfield Middle School eighth-grader Fender Brokamp is enrolled in an algebra class at IU Indianapolis this semester. But the 14-year-old has a long list of achievements on his young resume.
Besides academics, Fender has been a professionally paid actor since age 6. To date, he’s been cast in six digital/ print/commercials and is a regular paid actor at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.
He was recently accepted into the National Junior Honor Society and stays active in theater productions and volunteer work.
“It’s a full plate, but one that reflects his drive, curiosity and love of learning,” his mom, Delesa Brokamp, said. “As his parents, Kevin and I are proud passengers, cheering on every adventure this creative, charismatic and determined child dreams up next.”
At WMS, he’s enrolled in geometry. He said double math classes are just double the fun.
“I love it. It’s different fields of mathematics and it’s a lot different,” he said. “Geometry is a lot different than algebra. Geometry pulls from algebra and algebra pulls from geometry, but they are distinct. They’re different in their own way, so it’s fun to be able to get both sides to be able to get both types, especially at an accelerated rate.”
Brokamp said the school has been supportive of the new challenge.
“Westfield has been tremendous in supporting him,” she said. “They’ve been tremendous in helping us access his records and transcripts. They worked with his schedule once we set his class.”
Fender said his friends were a little confused about his enrollment at college, but for the most part, everything is still the same. Although he didn’t set out to make an announcement, as is the world of middle school, the word got out.
“Even after I told people (I was starting school), when I came back, people were like, ‘I thought you were going to college,’” he said. “I’m pretty sure that every single kid in eighth grade probably knows by now because I told a couple of them and then I got text messages. So, it did actually spread pretty quickly. I actually did have someone ask if I got a dorm, and I had to unfortunately tell them that I do not have a dorm.”
Fender will continue at WWS until he has enough credits to graduate, which he expects to do early. Once he transfers to college fulltime — he has his eye on MIT or Indiana University — he will likely earn his four-year degree early as well.
He said although he is undecided on a career, he wants math to be part of it. And, he said, he’s looking forward to completing this challenge and moving on to the next one as a college student.
“It has kind of messed with my schedule a little bit, but it’s a really good experience.” he said.

Medicare-focused business opens
By Todd Golden todd@youarecurrent.com
Andrew Flittner founded Independent Senior Insurance, a business dedicated exclusively to Medicare plan guidance, in 2010 in Indianapolis. As the business grew, he said it outgrew its original Broad Ripple location.
INSURANCE
When Andrew and his wife Stephanie, who run the business together, started to look for a new location, they wanted to stay close to their Carmel home.
The Flittners moved Independent Senior Insurance to a new location at 3309 E. 146th St. last month. They spent $1.2 million on the renovation of the Carmel location, which celebrated its grand opening Aug. 22.
Andrew Flittner said Independent Senior Insurance is the only independent Medicare broker in Carmel and the largest independent Medicare broker in Indiana. He said the business goal for customers is to find the “correct answer for their situation” as it relates to Medicare.
Andrew Flittner said Independent Senior
Insurance will strive to make sure a client’s medical providers and prescriptions are covered under Medicare. The firm also deals with the Social Security Administration to process paperwork required to go into Medicare at no cost to their clients.
The Medicare broker business has changed with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the One Big Beautiful Bill that passed this year. Flittner said the cycle of change with the Medicare program has grown in recent years and it has led to many questions from Independent Senior Insurance clients.
Flittner noted that Medicare open enrollment begins Oct. 15 so it’s a good time for clients to take advantage of Independent Senior Insurance and the services it offers.
“The timing of this opening couldn’t be better. Now people will have a local person – not a telemarketer, not a call center somewhere – but a local person that they can come and get these important questions,” Flittner said.
To reach Independent Senior Insurance, their phone number is 317-717-1085 and their email is team@isimedicare.com.
The Farmers Bank rebrands
news@youarecurrent.com
The Farmers Bank renamed its Indiana locations Sept. 5, changing branches to financial centers to reflect a modern approach to banking that combines traditional services with personalized financial guidance in a relationship-focused environment, according to a news release.
FINANCE
“As we work toward being the number one community bank in the markets we serve, it is important, now more than ever, to evaluate how we serve our customers,” stated Chris Cook, president and CEO of The Farmers Bank. “That means embracing our evolution, expanding access through technology like video ATMs, enhancing software experiences and reimagining our financial centers as spaces for deeper financial conversations. At the end of the day, it all comes back to building trust and being there for our customers.”
According to the release, although branches historically have been transaction-focused, financial centers emphasize financial planning, including access to specialized advisors.

As part of the transition, The Farmers Bank also is updating locations, including additional video ATMs. The bank introduced video ATMs at the Westfield financial center in 2023. Video ATMs allow customers to speak directly with a Farmers Bank representative in real time and complete nearly all transactions available inside each location. Video ATMs have since been added to locations in Fishers, Noblesville and Frankfort. Video ATMs are available between 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Frankfort-based The Farmers Bank serves Boone, Clinton and Hamilton counties. Learn more at thefarmersbank.com.

Gala co-chairs embrace Allied Solutions Center’s educational mission
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
When David Greene asked his wife, Annette, to join him on the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts steering committee for the Center Celebration three years ago, she was reluctant.
David said the gala might be too “hoity-toity” for her but she became enamored with Center’s mission of bringing the arts to everyone.”
The sold-out Center Celebration 2025 presented by Ice Miller is set for Sept. 20 at the Payne & Mencias Palladium.
David and Annette are serving their first year as the event’s co-chairs while fellow Carmel residents Caroline and Michael Garvey are in the second year as co-chairs.
“One of my favorite parts of the mission is bringing music enrichment to the schools that maybe don’t have a music program,” said Annette, a certified clinical medical assistant for Northwest Radiology. “Music was an important part of my growing up and kind of helped me make friends. I think it’s important to introduce your kids to music. I’m trying to educate people and our kids that the Center is not this big fancy building where only the elite go. Anybody can go and attend and see a great concert or benefit from any of the outreach programs that they offer.”
David, who retired as region president for First Merchants Bank at the end of 2024, got involved when then First Merchants President and CEO Michael Rechin became a Center board member.
“While he was on the board, he had the bank sign up for a program where we were the sponsors for the cocktail reception for the gala,” David said.
David has been on the steering committee for the last 10 years, helping raise money by filling tables for the gala.
David said they enjoy bringing out-of-
town visitors to the Center.
“We’ve seen Ben Folds, Sting, Dave Koz and Christmas shows,” he said. Programs supported by gala proceeds include the Peanut Butter & Jam performance series for families with young children; the Prism Project, a performing arts summer camp for youth with disabilities; free matinee performances and science presentations for school groups; a donor-funded Transportation Grant Program that reimburses transportation costs for school groups attending events; and arts classes for adults, including vocal music, songwriting, two levels of stand-up comedy instruction and three levels of ukulele instruction.
The gala revenue is generated through table reservations, corporate partnerships, direct donations and the auction for prize packages including luxury getaways and VIP professional sports experiences, donated by Allied Solutions Center supporters.
The Garveys have supported the gala for the past three years as after-party sponsors or table hosts. Michael is chief financial officer for SC Bodner Co. in Carmel, and Caroline is an Emmy Award-winning journalist familiar to Indianapolis-area TV viewers as evening news anchor
Caroline Thau.
This year’s Center Celebration features Richard Marx as the headliner.
“First, we’re so fortunate to have Michael Feinstein as our artistic director, because our supporters always love to see him and we know his opening performance will start the evening with style,” Allied Solutions Center President and CEO Jeffrey McDermott said.
McDermott said a lot of thought goes into selecting the headline performer.
“We want to create a ‘wow’ factor for our guests, but we don’t want to break the bank, because the event is a fundraiser,” he said. “It’s also important to find someone who has multigenerational appeal and can create a fun atmosphere that is still appropriate for a black-tie event. And obviously it needs to be an artist who is available on a specific date and not busy with a tour or a stage production. We’ve had wonderful experiences in the past with artists like Chris Botti, Straight No Chaser, Amy Grant and Chris Isaak, and I think we made a great choice again this year with Richard Marx, who has sold out the hall twice before and delivers a really entertaining performance with broad appeal.”

CHS freshman plays ‘mean’ role
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School freshman Zaylee Jaliwala must embrace a role that is definitely out of character.
THEATER
Jaliwala plays Kaylee in Footlite Musicals’ presentation of “The Prom,” which runs Sept. 19 to Oct. 5 at Hedback Theatre in Indianapolis. The story centers on a fictional Indiana high school that bans a lesbian student from taking her girlfriend to the prom. Four Broadway actors come to support the banned student.
8 years old.
Fishers resident Dustin Branum plays Trent, a struggling actor.
“I am so excited that I’ve finally landed a role where my ADHD brain and general ridiculousness is an asset rather than a hurdle,” he said. “(Co-directors) Jerry Beasley and Claire Slaven have created an environment where we are encouraged to play around and make bold choices.”
“I’m playing the popular cheerleader/high school bully role,” Jaliwala said. “I’m not naturally a mean person, so bringing out that meanness has been a challenge for me. Whenever I need inspiration, I channel my inner Regina George, the ultimate mean girl (from the ‘Mean Girls’ movie).”
Jaliwala has been acting since she was
Branum said his biggest challenges are the musical numbers.
“The show in general is pretty high-energy,” Branum said. “We have an incredible choreographer that gave this tired show horse a run for his money.
His favorite song is “Love Thy Neighbor,” when he gets to “return to my praise and worship roots in a heartfelt number that ministers to the misguided youth of a small Indiana town. Surprisingly, this time it works. If only I knew this particular song when I was a little gay boy in high school.”

CSO League features Dueling Pianos
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
A decade ago, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra League had 50-plus members. That number has dwindled over time, so the CSO League is seeking new members.
FUNDRAISER
“We have 32 members but we’re all up there in age,” said Pat Killen, the group’s membership director. “We want to get awareness in the community that we’re there.”
To raise funds and awareness, the CSO League will hold a fundraiser featuring Dueling Pianos with Frank Bradford and The Key Players Oct. 9 at Woodland Country Club in Carmel. The cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m. with dinner and entertainment at 7 p.m.
CSO League President Barbara Crawford said membership has shrunk with older members moving away or not being in good health.
The CSO League supports the orchestra members in various ways, including supplying refreshments during rehearsals on concert dates. Crawford said her organization raises funds to support the educational mission of Carmel Symphony Orchestra. The CSO League also promotes ticket sales for the event.
“It’s a very special group,” Crawford said. “The league is just a bunch of really nice ladies. We enjoy each other and when things come for the symphony. We love to do anything we can to support them.”
Killen moved from the north side of Indianapolis to Carmel about 25 years ago.
“I’ve met so many nice people that I wouldn’t have known otherwise because most have been in Carmel forever,” Killen said.
Dues are $40 for members. The group meets the first Tuesday each month at the Carmel City Hall.
