THE LATEST HOMETOWN HAPPENINGS AROUND FISHERS
Writer / Larry Lannan
In a unanimous vote, the Fishers City Council approved a first-of-its-kind ordinance in Indiana, limiting rental homes to 10% per subdivision for single-family residences. While council members were united in their decision, public opinion at the meeting was clearly divided. Councilors cited overwhelming feedback from constituents, with many estimating that 70% to 90% of input supported the cap. Two major questions now follow: Will the ordinance withstand expected legal challenges, and could state lawmakers eventually step in?
The long-delayed project to widen Cumberland Road between 106th and 116th streets will be bid no later than February 2027, according to City of Fishers Engineering Director Hatem Mekky. The Board of Public Works and Safety recently extended the city’s agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation to include both road widening and bridge rehabilitation over Sand Creek. Ongoing utility work has stalled progress, but Mekky noted that if utility work is completed earlier, the project could go to bid sooner.
Planning is underway for a new roundabout at Brooks School Road and 131st Street, part of the city’s long-range Fishers 2040 comprehensive plan. The City of Fishers has entered into a professional services contract with American Structurepoint to begin the design phase. Engineering Director Hatem Mekky informed the Board of Public Works
and Safety that construction is expected to begin in summer 2026.
Students and staff at Fall Creek Intermediate packed the school gymnasium in early May, sensing something special was about to happen. As the energy built, students broke into a loud, unified chant: “Mr. Teal! Mr. Teal!” That chant was for Michael Teal, a beloved math and science teacher at FCI. Moments later, the gym erupted in cheers as it was announced that Mr. Teal had been named the Hamilton Southeastern Schools District Teacher of the Year. A video tribute, produced by HSE Community Relations Director Emily Abbotts, featured heartfelt praise from students and colleagues, highlighting Mr. Teal’s dedication over the past 10 years to making every day a meaningful learning experience for his students.
Dorothy Wellman from Sand Creek Elementary was named Elementary Level Teacher of the Year. Hamilton Southeastern High School’s Matt Dunham took home the honor of High School Teacher of the Year.
Dr. Craig McCaffrey will take over as principal of Hamilton Southeastern High School, transitioning from his current role as principal in Noblesville. The HSE School Board approved his appointment during its April session.
Additional personnel changes approved at the same meeting include:
• Nawla Williams, currently dean at Fishers High School, will become director of alternative education at the Hamilton Southeastern Fishers Academy.
• Danielle Chastain, now an instructional coach at Deer Creek Elementary, will return as principal. She previously served as the first principal of Southeastern Elementary.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness shared sobering news with the city’s Board of Health in April: The newly passed twoyear Indiana budget includes a 73% cut in new funding for local health departments compared to the previous biennium. Fadness called the previous budget “a historic move forward” in state support for public health, but said the new plan marks a significant reversal. While the city had anticipated a reduction, the extent of the cut was unexpected. “It’s too early to raise the alarm bell,” Fadness said, noting that city leaders are now evaluating revenue options and expenditures as they begin preparing the 2026 budget.
The Fishers Police Department is showcasing the power of Rapid DNA technology to speed up criminal investigations. In a recent demonstration, Lt. Jim Hawkins showed how this advanced tool can help officers gather enough probable cause to charge a suspect in as little as 90 minutes, dramatically accelerating what traditionally takes weeks or even months of investigative work.
Allen Williams and Dick Richwine, both longtime Fishers residents, have built the #1 real estate team in Fishers by putting CLIENTS and SERVICE at the heart of everything they do. Their unwavering dedication has made them the top choice for Buyers and Sellers in Fishers for decades. When you work with them, you'll experience a blend of blue-collar work ethic and exceptional, white-glove customer service that truly sets them apart.
30 YEARS OF CARE
SADLER & RYAN ORTHODONTICS MARKS 30 YEARS OF COMMUNITY-FOCUSED CARE
Writer / Renée Larr
Photographers / Robert Jones & Peregrine One LLC
When Dr. Chuck Sadler opened his orthodontic practice in Fishers in September 1994, he was the town’s first orthodontist.
“There were only three dentists in Fishers at that time, and no orthodontists,” he recalls. “We just kind of ended up here by accident. Since my wife worked at Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie while I attended dental school in downtown Indy, we moved into Sunblest apartments in Fishers in 1988.”
Three decades later, Sadler & Ryan Orthodontics has grown into a cornerstone of the community — a name synonymous with quality orthodontic care, community involvement and personalized service. Now co-owned by Fishers native Dr. Stu Ryan, the practice blends local roots with modern innovation, making it the longest-standing orthodontic office in Fishers.
“WE’RE NOT JUST STRAIGHTENING TEETH — WE’RE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS.”
—DR. RYAN
A LEGACY OF GROWTH AND CARE
As Fishers has transformed from a small town into a thriving city, Sadler & Ryan Orthodontics has grown with it, helping to shape thousands of smiles along the way. Yet despite its growth, the practice has never lost its personal touch.
“It’s been such a blessing to raise my family here,” says Dr. Sadler. “And now, we’re treating the children of my original patients from the ’90s.”
For Dr. Ryan, joining the practice in 2018 and becoming a partner in 2021 was a homecoming.
“It was a dream to return to the town where I grew up and serve the community I’ve always loved,” he says. “Now, my own kids go to the same schools I did. It feels full circle.”
COMMUNITY FIRST
Deeply embedded in the community, Sadler & Ryan Orthodontics is known for more than just excellent orthodontic (Braces and Invisalign) care. The practice actively supports youth sports through Mudsock Youth Athletics, organizes annual cookie and candy buybacks benefiting the Ronald McDonald House and local food pantries, and creates scholarships for graduating high school seniors pursuing careers in dentistry.
They’re also a beloved fixture at local events like the Boo Bash, where the team shows up in costume to the delight of kids and families alike.
“Giving back is just part of who we are,” says Dr. Ryan.
PEOPLE OVER PROCESS
What truly sets the practice apart is its people-first philosophy.
“We’re not just straightening teeth — we’re building relationships,” says Dr. Ryan.
That means customized treatment plans, open communication and a clinic culture that feels like home.
“By providing multiple Braces and Invisalign options and actively communicating with your general dentist, we have become a leader in adult treatment,” says Dr. Sadler.
Parents of adolescent patients are invited to be part of the process every step of the way, with chairs specifically for parents in the treatment area.
“Our communication and transparency help to serve our patients at a very high level,” Dr. Sadler adds. “I’ve always believed in taking the time to create lasting relationships with both patients and parents. That hasn’t changed — even as our technology has.”
WHERE HIGH-TECH MEETS HIGH-TOUCH
While the practice remains rooted in traditional values, its technology is thoroughly modern.
“We’re a fully digital office now,” says Dr. Ryan. “No more goopy impressions or paper charts. We use digital scanners and 3D printers, which make everything more comfortable and precise.”
Despite the high-tech tools, the office remains warm and welcoming.
“We’re high-tech and high-touch,” says Dr. Sadler. “This place has a feel-good atmosphere.”
A TEAM THAT FEELS LIKE FAMILY
Both doctors are board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics — a distinction not held by every practicing orthodontist. But they’re quick to credit their tight-knit team for the practice’s success.
“We go out of our way to show appreciation for our team,” says Dr. Ryan. “They’re the backbone of everything we do.”
From outings on the Nickel Plate Express to candle-making events and teambuilding exercises, staff morale is a top priority.
“If you’ve got a happy team, you’ve got happy patients.”
LOOKING AHEAD
As Sadler & Ryan Orthodontics celebrates its 30th anniversary, the mission remains unchanged: to serve the community by creating lasting relationships while providing excellent orthodontic care.
“The core values are the same,” says Dr.
Sadler. “It’s still about treating people right, doing great work and making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Simply put — we change lives one smile at a time.”
For Dr. Ryan, continuing that legacy is a personal commitment.
“Fishers is home,” he says. “And it’s an honor to help shape the smiles and confidence of the next generation right here.”
From its humble beginnings as one man’s dream to its status as a technology-forward, community-centered practice, Sadler & Ryan Orthodontics has left an indelible mark on Fishers. And as they look to the future, one thing is certain: the best smiles are yet to come.

A KID AGAIN
Writer / Renée Larr
Since its inception in Indiana in 2018, A Kid Again has been dedicated to bringing moments of joy and connection to families facing the challenges of life-threatening childhood conditions. Under the leadership of regional executive director Katie Pappas, the nonprofit offers “adventures”—free, ongoing events for enrolled families. These events are not just about fun; they are about relieving stress and building a community that understands and supports each other.
Originating in Columbus, Ohio, nearly 30 years ago, A Kid Again expanded into Indiana after seeing growing interest from local volunteers and families with ties to the organization. “I had never worked with A Kid Again before,” Pappas says. “But when I saw the opportunity to help launch the chapter here in Indiana, it felt like a meaningful way to help families during the hardest times of their lives.”
A Kid Again stands out with its comprehensive approach, focusing on the entire family unit. The adventures are thoughtfully curated to include the enrolled child, siblings and caregivers. “These families endure daily stress, financial strain and emotional exhaustion,” Pappas says. “The goal is to provide them with something to anticipate, a respite from the hospital appointments and therapies.”
Adventures can range from zoo visits and sports events to museum outings, holiday parties and more. Unlike traditional wish programs, these events are not one-time experiences; families can attend multiple adventures yearround. “That consistency matters,” says Pappas. “It allows families to create happy memories together, and to connect with other families who understand their journey.”
All adventures are completely donor-funded through the support of individuals, corporations and
foundations. “We’re a typical 501(c) (3),” Pappas says. “Our job is to raise awareness and inspire giving. Most people know a family dealing with serious illness, whether it’s through school, church or their neighborhood.”
Families learn about A Kid Again through hospital partners like Riley Hospital for Children, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, Parkview, Lutheran Health and South Bend’s pediatric centers. However, its reach extends beyond these partnerships. Word-ofmouth also plays a significant role, as families share resources during treatments. Pappas says the organization works closely with social workers and child life specialists, but partnerships with organizations like Make-A-Wish and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society are equally important. Together, everyone can make a difference in the lives of these families.
Families can enroll children from birth through age 20. Once enrolled, they
receive email, text and social media invitations for upcoming adventures, allowing them to plan attendance around treatment schedules. “Some even coordinate doctor visits at Riley with our events so it gives them something positive to build their week around,” Pappas says.
As a small but growing chapter, A Kid Again Indiana offers numerous opportunities for the public to get involved. Volunteers are the backbone of the organization, supporting families at events, joining planning committees, serving on the board and assisting with fundraising. Pappas says the vibrant women’s council also plays a crucial role in amplifying the mission statewide. She says community involvement is not just appreciated—it’s integral to A Kid Again’s mission.
In June, A Kid Again will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a “30 for 30” campaign—encouraging donations in any $30 increment to support future adventures. “We may be nearly three decades old, but in many ways, we’re just getting started,” Pappas says.

NEW LEADERSHIP
MEET THE NEW FISHERS FIRE CHIEF
Writer / Renée Larr
After more than two decades of service, Ky Ragsdale, a firefighter since 2002, was
lived in Fishers since 2000 with his wife, Donna, and son, Cole.
Family influenced Ragsdale’s path to fire service — his grandfather and father served as fire chiefs.
“I was born into it,” he says. “I have many childhood memories spent around firehouses.”
His career officially began after serving in the military, when a chance sighting of a firetruck rekindled the inspiration planted by his family years before.
Ragsdale recently celebrated 23 years with the department and is taking on the role at a pivotal time. Fishers continues to grow rapidly, bringing new challenges in public safety. Among the most pressing concerns, Ragsdale says, is the increasing demand for emergency medical services, which now make up roughly 70% of the department’s calls. Particularly notable is a sharp rise in mental health-related incidents — something that was rare in 2002 but has become a key focus of training and response today.
“We’re investing heavily in training and partnerships to be ready, especially for youth dealing with anxiety, depression and panic.”
This commitment to preparation and service instills confidence in the community.
Ragsdale also says Fishers is experiencing significant residential construction and urban density changes. He says the department must adapt its tactics with taller buildings and newer materials affecting fire behavior.
“We used to have five to eight minutes to respond to a house fire,” he says. “Due to construction changes, sometimes it’s just two to three minutes.”
In his first few months as chief, Ragsdale is focusing on building a strong leadership team and evaluating every department division.
“With any new leadership comes new challenges and ideas,” he says.
“We have to be flexible and adaptable,” Ragsdale says. “When COVID hit, for example, we had to quickly figure out how to test our staff so they could continue serving the community safely.”
For Ragsdale, the appointment carries personal meaning. The opportunity to lead in his local community is both a privilege and a responsibility.
“This is one of the greatest honors of my life,” he says. “To live, work and now lead here — it’s something I don’t take lightly.”
Ragsdale is also quick to thank former Chief Steve Orusa, who retired earlier this year.
“He was instrumental in shaping the department and personally helped guide me through the transition,” Ragsdale says. “I hope to carry forward many of the principles he instilled, ensuring continuity and respect for the department’s history.”
As Fishers continues evolving, Chief Ragsdale shares a simple message with residents:
“The firehouse doors are open. We’re listening, we’re ready and we’re here to

HOMECOMING TIME
BOBBY ALLEN BECOMES
THE NEW HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN BOYS BASKETBALL COACH
Writer / Renée Larr
When Bobby Allen accepted the head coaching position for the Hamilton Southeastern High School boys basketball team, it wasn’t just a career move but a homecoming. A longtime Fishers resident and seasoned coach, Allen steps into the role with a deep sense of purpose, community pride and a drive to elevate the program both on and off the court.
Allen officially takes the reins full-time in June, following the conclusion of his final semester teaching English at Guerin Catholic High School. But even before the ink dried on his new contract, Allen laid the foundation for his future at HSE.
“I’ve actually started working out with the players and meeting with the team,” he says. “There’s already a real sense of
connection forming. It feels like the start of something special.”
Allen brings more than two decades of coaching experience, a career that started after he graduated from Cathedral High School in 1999. He was an assistant at Cathedral for five years before becoming the head coach at Knightstown High School from 2010 to 2016. After stints at Lawrence Central and Cathedral again as an assistant, he spent the last seven seasons leading the program at Guerin Catholic, where he built a competitive team and a culture rooted in family and tradition.
“At Guerin, we worked really hard to create a sense of belonging, a second family,” Allen says. “We’ve had former players come back to support the team or just to be around the program. That’s the kind of culture I want to bring to HSE.”
For Allen, the move to Hamilton Southeastern is both professional and personal. His son, Benson, will be a freshman at HSE next year, and his younger son, Everett, will be a sixth grader in the district. Since the Allen family lives in Fishers, the opportunity felt tailor-made for them.
“Everything just lined up,” he says. “From the competitive level of play to the location, to the chance for our family to be even more connected to the community— it just made sense.”
Allen says that stepping into a program at a school the size and caliber of HSE comes with high expectations. He says the school regularly competes against the state’s top talent, a challenge he embraces.
“I’m excited to coach at a school where basketball matters, the stakes are high and
the community is engaged,” he says. “We’re going to work tirelessly to put a great product on the floor and be a program that reflects the values of the school and the families here.”
Allen focuses on competition and development, but his coaching philosophy extends beyond wins and losses. He strongly emphasizes building relationships and supporting student-athletes holistically.
“We want to be a part of the youth programs, be visible in the community and create a sense of continuity so that when you grow up in this area, HSE basketball is just a natural part of your experience,” he says. “It should feel like a second family.”
Family is a recurring theme in Allen’s story, reflected in how he runs his programs and the support he has received throughout his career. His wife, Mollie, has been a constant partner, working night shifts as a nurse for 15 years to help keep the household running during Allen’s demanding coaching schedules.
“When I first started at Knightstown, Benson was just born, and I was driving 40 minutes each way to get there,” Allen says. “Mollie would be heading to work as I got home, and we had to lean on family and friends to help with the boys. It was a team effort.”
Over time, the Allen family has become part of the programs Bobby has led. At Guerin Catholic, they were embraced by the school and its community, attending games and participating in events. That tradition continues at HSE. Just weeks into the job, the Allen family joined him on a school tour and participated in the community’s “Meet the Coach” night. The community’s support and involvement have been instrumental in Allen’s coaching journey, and he looks forward to continuing this partnership at HSE.
“They’ve been with me every step of the way,” he says. “And it means everything to have their support as we start this new chapter.”
Despite the excitement about what lies ahead, Allen admitted that leaving Guerin Catholic was difficult.
“It was one of the hardest decisions of my life,” he says. “I’ve built deep friendships there. The support from the administration, families and kids was incredible. But I believe that God has a plan. Maybe everything I experienced there was preparing me for this opportunity.”
With a fresh start and a familiar community behind him, Allen is ready to lead HSE basketball into a new era.
“We want to create something lasting that kids are proud to be part of and that they want to return to years later,” he says. “That’s what makes a program great. And that’s what we’re going to build.”
A LASTING LEGACY
ALSACE WINEMAKER ANNE TRIMBACH BRINGS CENTURIES OF HERITAGE TO INDIANAPOLIS
Writer / Renée Larr
In the world of wine, few names carry the depth of heritage and prestige like Trimbach. Nestled in Alsace, France, the Trimbach family has cultivated vineyards and crafted exceptional wines since 1626. Now in its 13th generation, the family-owned winery is approaching an extraordinary milestone: its 400th anniversary in 2026.
But before the celebrations begin in France, Anne Trimbach, one of the current faces of the winery, will make a special and rare visit to Indiana this month. This is a unique and privileged opportunity for Hoosier wine lovers to meet Anne, hear the Trimbach’s’ story and taste their wines.
Anne officially joined the family business in 2008 and serves as a brand ambassador. From international sales to social media, from welcoming guests at the winery to participating in harvests, Anne embodies the legacy she represents. “It’s in the family blood,” she says. “We’re very proud and delighted to pursue this and give the best to the next generation, again and again.”
Her upcoming U.S. tour, a tradition dating back over 50 years for the Trimbach family, includes stops in several cities, with a special event in Indianapolis on June 25. That evening, Anne will be the guest of honor at a special dinner hosted at Late Harvest Kitchen with Chef Ryan Nelson. The event will feature carefully
curated wine pairings highlighting Trimbach’s best-known labels, including the revered Frédéric Emile, among others. Also on the itinerary: a trade luncheon at Del Frisco’s and a potential podcast appearance with Big Red Liquors, one of the state’s most extensive wine and spirits retailers.
For Matt Schicker, who manages Trimbach’s Indiana market, the visit is more than just a promotional stop. It’s a rare and meaningful experience for Hoosiers. “People love Anne,” he says. “Her spirit and the authenticity she brings makes a big impression. I always get asked when she’s coming back.” Schicker says the significance of Trimbach’s presence in what some might call a “flyover state” and this level of engagement from a global wine family is rare and deeply appreciated.
Trimbach wines are known for their purity, precision and dry style — an intentional approach that prioritizes food pairing and aging potential. “Purity is the number one word for me,” Anne says. “And balance, because that’s my father’s favorite word.”
Trimbach Family Winery crafts flagship varieties like Riesling and Pinot Blanc to highlight the unique environment of the vineyard and tradition, making these wines as enjoyable on their own as they are alongside fine cuisine.
The winery currently produces around a million bottles annually, all under the watchful eye of a dedicated family team. This personal touch — with Anne’s father, Pierre, as the winemaker; her uncle Jean overseeing exports; her cousin Julian as the next-generation winemaker in training; her sister Frédérique managing technical and logistical operations; and cousin
Pauline handling the French, Belgian and Luxembourg markets — makes every bottle a connection to the family and its longstanding history as winemakers.
As the 400th anniversary approaches, plans for celebration are still in discussion, with ideas ranging from open-house festivities with food trucks to commemorative vintages with special labels. “We have a few ideas,” Anne says. “But we need another family meeting to convince my dad and uncle.” Whatever the final decision, the milestone will be marked with the same blend of appreciation and passion that has guided the winery for generations.
Looking forward, Trimbach remains steadfast in its commitment to sustainable practices. The winery has already undergone a carbon footprint evaluation and is making significant strides toward more environmentally friendly winemaking. “The conclusion is that we’re not bad at all,” Anne says. “But of course, we always want to do better.” This dedication to sustainability ensures that Trimbach wines taste exceptional and contribute to a healthier planet, reassuring the consumer with every sip.
For Hoosiers, Anne’s visit offers a rare opportunity to connect directly with a centuries-old winemaking tradition that continues to thrive not through nostalgia but innovation, dedication and family unity. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or simply curious to experience world-class wine with a storied history, the June 25 dinner promises to be a night worth raising a glass.
