ZCS leaders talk expansion By Desiree Williams news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville Community Schools could redistrict and expand by 2022 to meet growing enrollment, particularly in SCHOOL BOARD the elementary schools, according to the recommendation of Supt. Scott Robison at the Jan. 14 school board meeting. Union Elementary and Boone Meadow Elementary will soon soar beyond capacity. According to the Indiana Business Research Center’s enrollment projections presented at the July 2018 school board meeting, the ZCS district accounts for more than 70 percent of Boone County’s total population growth in the last decade. Matt Kinghorn, senior demographic analyst at the IBRC, estimated an increased enrollment of 2,200 students during the next 10 years due to construction of multiple housing developments. Robison recommended construction of a sixth elementary school at the district-owned 875 campus property. Although ZCS has not

redistricted in 11 years, Robison said a single redistricting effort that coincides with the opening of the elementary school in 2022 could rebalance attendance rates until 2028. It’s projected the high school will reach capacity during the 2024-25 school year, so Robison also discussed an expansion or possible construction of a second high school. Using the IBRC data, Robison said the size of the district, the funding needed and the timing do not seem to require a second high school now. Instead, an expansion could regulate capacity, and the consideration of an additional high school could wait until 2026-27. There will be a more detailed presentation during the February board meeting to discuss cost, tax impact, process and timeline. The board also conducted its annual reorganization, joined by new members Michael Berg and Michael Coussens. Joe Stein was elected president, Debbie Ungar as vice president and Jane Burgess as secretary. All members will donate their annual stipends to the Zionsville Education Foundation.

Zionsville named Best Place to Live in Indiana By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com For the second consecutive year, HomeSnacks has named Zionsville as the Best Place to Live in Indiana. PLACEMAKING HomeSnacks collects data from the census, FBI, OpenStreetMaps and other sources to determine the rankings. After analyzing 112 places in Indiana, HomeSnacks compiled its list of the best places to live. According to the site, Zionsville consistently ranks as one of the best places to live not only in Indiana, but in the nation.

Criteria used include median home values, median income, population density, unemployment rate, commute time, crime, education levels, health insurance coverage and poverty rates. The ranking is no surprise to Zionsville Mayor Tim Haak. “Time after time we hear that residents choose Zionsville because of the high quality of life, the great schools, the 400-plus acres of parks and green space, the trails and the historic brick streets,” Haak said. “There is something unique here that we see other towns and cities strive to accomplish.” According to HomeSnacks, homes in Zionsville are the most expensive in the state, with

an average value of $343,400. “We’re not elitists, nor are we saying that big homes mean a better place to live,” HomeSnacks contributing writer Chris Kolmar said. “But price reflects demand, and simply put, a lot of people want to live in Zionsville if they can afford it.” HomeSnacks found that Zionsville residents have the highest income in the state and the town has Indiana’s overall lowest crime rate. “Zionsville has done a great job maintaining its rich history and small-town feel, while at the same time providing all the amenities and attractions that make families want to live here,” Haak said.

Scientist explores addiction as disease in free film By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com

A Boone County support group, Parents of Addicted Loved Ones, will show the film “Pleasure Unwoven,” ADDICTION which explores the debate whether or not addiction is a disease. The free screening will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Jan. 22 at Lebanon First Church of the Nazarene, 1122 Garfield St., Lebanon. The film is narrated by Dr. Kevin McCauley, a graduate of the Medical College of Pennsylvania and a former flight surgeon in the U.S. Navy. McCauley uses the landscape of Utah’s state and national parks to explain the neuroscience of addiction in an easy-tounderstand way. “The brain is shaped by experience over the course of a lifetime, the same way this land is shaped by wind and water,” McCauley said in the film’s trailer. “When I compare the anatomy of the brain to the geology of Utah, it helps me understand that the brain is a place. We can go to these places and see how they connect.” “Pleasure Unwoven” earned the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers’ Michael Q. Ford Journalism Award in 2010. McCauley is the Director of Program Services at New Roads Behavioral Health in

The cost includes activities for children and food. “We’ll have pulled pork, fruit kebabs, a bounce house, games, face painting and, of course, dancing,” Broman said.

Third-grader decorates mailboxes for charity By Kelsey Musick news@currentzionsville.com Thanks to Jasmine Pittman, 8, a Boone Meadow Elementary School third-grader, several mailboxes in the Eagles Nest neighborhood are GENIUS HOUR adorned with red ribbons, all in the name of Wheeler Mission’s Center for Women and Children. Pittman started the Red Ribbon Project during Genius Hour, a time built into the school day that allows students to research a topic of their choosing. According to Nick Burch, Pittman’s teacher, the idea for Genius Hour originated from Google headquarters, where employees have an hour to explore passion projects. Pittmans’s passion was learning about the homeless population in Indianapolis and discovering ways to help. “Jasmine is a hard-working young lady who loves helping others,” Burch said. “This project is definitely an example of how she loves to help those around her.” According to Burch, the project was Pittman’s idea. But when it came to fruition, more students were interested in helping.

“Her project was a great way to inform our students of the importance of giving back to your community and helping those in need,” Burch said. With the support of her mother, Carol Pittman, Jasmine discussed various options and chose to sell the bows because the family could work on the project together at home. Jasmine set a goal of selling 30 sets of bows for a profit of $100. She surpassed the goal by several hundred dollars. “I expected (the project) to be way littler,” Jasmine said. According to Carol, the response from neighbors was overwhelming, to the point where they had to cut sales off after 140 sets sold due to time constraints. “Many donated more than the $5 sale price,” Carol said. “With help from family, we purchased over $700 in needed items for the Wheeler Mission Center. It was a wonderful experience.” Jasmine said she wants to work more with the Wheeler Mission Center in the future. “(The project) means a lot to me, knowing that I am helping homeless people,” Jasmine said. “It’s a really nice thing to do.”

Recalling a long Minnesota blizzard Commentary by Ward Degler It took an hour to shovel the walk and the driveway after the Jan. 11 snowfall. Before the snow, people rushed to grocery stores to prepare for a PLAIN TALK weekend indoors. Cars were slipping off the roads as soon as precipitation began. The first measurable snowfall is always like this, and it reminds me of colder moments from my past. In the winter of 1979, I was living in a century-old farmhouse in Minnesota. Winter showed up on Thanksgiving day. It started snowing around noon. Big, fluffy flakes. By nightfall, the snow was a foot deep and showed no signs of stopping. The next morning we found ourselves in a winter wonderland. More than 2 feet of snow, and still coming down. I waded out to the barn, cranked up the tractor and plowed the driveway. It continued to snow. Saturday dawned with more snow and a brisk northwest wind. I plowed the driveway again and realized that I had made a mistake. Instead of plowing the snow downwind, I had plowed into the wind. The wind responded by drifting it back over my

driveway. The county road crews made the same mistake. No sooner had their plows rumbled out of sight than the road began drifting over again. They started plowing twice a day. The road kept filling up.

ate breakfast and slogged off to work. Back home at night, I parked at the end of the farm road, donned heavy boots and fought my way through the drifts to the barn and the tractor, plowed the drive and the road to my car, nosed it home and into the garage, where I plugged in the block heater for the night. The snow continued to fall for the next two weeks. The wind never slowed, and at some point the temperature plummeted into minus territory, where it stayed until after Christmas. The snow got so deep the county switched to front-end loaders and dump trucks to remove it. My driveway had walls of snow nearly 6 feet high on both sides. I was never sure when it ended. I just realized I hadn’t plowed for several days and the sun was shining. I felt like a bear emerging from its den blinking in the light. I spent the rest of the winter planning my move to the warmer climes of Indiana.

The snow got so deep … my driveway had walls of snow Call (317) 249-8830 nearly 6 feet high to schedule your tour on both sides.

HELP WANTED With jobs on the rise, Boone County businesses struggle to fill positions By Sara Baldwin Schatz • sara@youarecurrent.com With a record-low unemployment rate, workforce development in Boone County has become a hot topic for municipal representatives. COVER STORY The Boone County Economic Development Corp. announced last month that 16 companies chose to expand or locate in Boone County in 2018. The businesses anticipate hiring more than 1,300 people and investing more than $279 million in the community during the next few years, and the investment has a projected tax impact of more than $18 million. The Town of Zionsville reached its “80-20 by 2020” objective two years early, a goal to have 20 percent of its tax income from commercial property. Although the industrial sector has expanded in Zionsville in recent years, the bulk of its new businesses in 2018 were retail, including Kim’s Cookie Cafe, Zionsville Olive Tap, Get Go and ReStore, among others. So many new retail businesses opened in Whitestown in 2018 that Tanya Sumner, director of public relations for the Town of Whitestown, often organized multiple ribbon cuttings per day. “It’s almost too much to keep up with, Sumner but it’s a good problem to have,” Sumner said. “Depending on how you divvy it up this year, there will likely be even more than last year.” Whitestown will welcome at least 19 retailers in the Shoppes at Anson development, such as Burlington Coat Factory, T.J. Maxx and Hobby Lobby. Several new businesses also are planned for the Maple Grove retail center, including a wine bar, Mexican restaurant and smoothie shop, among other businesses. “It’s going to snowball with the (Shoppes at Anson) grand openings really soon,” Sumner said. “In addition (to the retailers,) we’ve got six outlots where some of the bigger sitdown restaurants are going to locate once the retail is up and running. This is a piece our residents have been asking for for years.” Sumner said finding workers is a continuing challenge for employers across the state. “That’s the No. 1 challenge I hear from all of these businesses,” Sumner said. “The unemployment rate is so low and the economy is so good, if they’re not high-wage jobs, they’re harder to fill.”

In 2019, Whitestown will welcome at least 19 retailers in the Shoppes at Anson development, such as Burlington Coat Factory, T.J. Maxx and Hobby Lobby. (Photos by Sara Baldwin Schatz)

Sumner said the community affluence plays a role, because many teenagers do not have to work. “I try to help get the word out (when businesses are hiring) because it is hard for them,” Sumner said. “The ones that are successful are drawing employees from other communities by advertising outside of the community.”

LEADING THE WORKFORCE CHARGE

While the towns and county tax bases continue to grow with each new business, filling those jobs could be challenging in an area that encomapasses many rural towns. In Boone County, as well as in other areas across Indiana, the unemployment rate has hovered around 3 percent for more than a year. While that is positive news for workers, many companies are struggling to hire from a decreasing pool of candidates. With a 2.8 percent unemployment rate, Boone County’s is the sixth-lowest in the state, according to the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development “This is not a problem exclusive to Boone County,” Boone County Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Molly Whitehead said. “Every community across the state and nation are facing this issue.” Boone EDC, under contract with Boone County and municipalities to serve as an Whitehead ambassador of economic development, also has become a leader in helping connect companies with workers. With job fairs, the creation of a Boone County Manufacturing Alliance, wage and benefits surveys and other avenues, Boone EDC aims to connect businesses with potential employees and help retain the employees they have. “Creating a group like the Boone County Manufacturing Alliance, we hope to make connections with other manufacturing groups,” Whitehead said. “(The businesses) will be able to have a deeper understanding of what their neighbors are doing, which helps problem solve.” Boone EDC also holds an “HR roundtable” for human resources professionals in Boone County. “We believe heavily in making connections and building relationships,” Whitehead said.

A HELPING HAND

Zionsville’s population is 26,710, according to the most recent United States census estimates. In 1995, the town

had 7,533 residents. Whitestown had 514 people in 1995 and grew to 9,700 in 2018. While Boone County does not lack in population or job growth, its shortage of affordable housing could be causing some workforce issues. In September 2018, Hamilton County-based Housing and Neighborhood Development Inc. expanded to Boone County and invested more than $2 million to acquire and renovate 17 duplexes in Lebanon, which it will maintain as affordable apartments for low-income residents. The goal is to solve a housing issue and a workforce issue.

URBAN CONNECTION

The Whitestown Connector, a bus service of Central Indiana Regional Transportation, drops off a worker in front of the Amazon Fulfillment center in Whitestown’s industrial park area.

Additionally, the Whitestown Connector, a service of Central Indiana Regional Transportation, shuttles workers to Whitestown jobs. The Connector picks up from IndyGo routes and travels through Whitestown’s industrial park area off I-65 exit 33. The CIRTA bus program began more than three years ago, but funding expired in 2018. The town re-subsidized the bus line using tax increment financing, which reallocates funds from property taxes to encourage investment within a district. The Anson area, straddling Whitestown and Zionsville, is just off I-65 exit 130. The Connector passes it on the way to Whitestown’s industrial district. “The bus line goes to Amazon, the GNC (distribution center) and more,” Sumner said. “But they don’t stop at exit 130, and that may be something to look into.”

ESSAY Govt. bias?

LETTER Disturbed by violent cartoon

Commentary by Terry Anker Quietly, perhaps too quietly, the state of Alabama, through its government employee pension fund, recently became the sole owner of one of America’s largest local newspaper groups. Owning 13 such products in our own fine state, it seems that your friendly local publication (this one) is now competing directly with the $44 billion governmentsponsored juggernaut. To be fair, free markets are a good thing, regardless of the size of the gorilla with which we may find ourselves confronted. And, Retirement Systems of Alabama, the behemoth that made this recent purchase, has been in the business of buying assets beyond the typical stocks and bonds portfolio for some time. Still, can we expect government to be a direct investor in companies designed to stand against government corruption? The current political climate reflects accusations of media bias. Certainly, contributors and editors from all points of view bring their own perspectives. Likewise, shareholders, readers, employees and owners can lean into a news gatherer’s general take. So, should we simply let government put its thumb on the scale? Or, can we imagine that a southern governor, with a firmly rooted and appointed board of loyalists, will be tempted to urge “his” newspapers to run stories friendly to his campaign — or to suppress stories of his corruption? How will these journalists challenge, public employee unions without considering their year-end bonus? The notion of a separation between church and state is firmly rooted in our national discourse. Should the same apply to a separation between our government and the Fourth Estate? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, I usually enjoy the satirical humor of Tim Campbell’s cartoons published in Current. I was surprised and disappointed in the Jan. 8 edition. This substitute cartoon showing the president of the United States having smashed in the head of Gen. McChrystal is disturbing. I realize growing up not playing hours of video games shooting and stabbing people/zombies may have not desensitized me enough to appreciate this. Perhaps your editorial staff should consider cartoon works that include something humorous rather than violent. Erich Borden, Carmel

A dozen years of drama Commentary by Danielle Wilson I have kept an electronic copy of every Current article I’ve ever written. After almost 12 years, once a week, I’m fast HUMOR approaching 600. Six hundred! And occasionally, when I can’t think of anything about which to muse, I read a few as a reminder of what I was doing in winters past. I spent each of the last five Januarys, for example, recounting the first delicious dancemom adventure of the season, sordid tales of dressing-room drama and tarted-up toddlers. Februarys generally cough up a lot of bitterness phlegm, particularly those between 2011 and 2015 when Doo would abandon me with four not-yet-driving tweens and teens during potential Snowpocalypse season and head to the ski slopes with his buddies. And columns from the first half of 2010 and 2016 revolved around house issues, detailing first a drawnout move that included, but was not limited to, a three-month stint with the in-laws and

a busted water heater a day after closing. I wrote extensively about my inability to cope with the stress, including an impressive breakdown at Meijer and accidentally voting Republican. Always entertaining. But, alas, times have changed. My tiny dancer has hung up her competition shoes, I actually look forward to Doo’s boy-cations (a girl needs a break!), and today I’m happy to report that home ownership and I are in a good place. I do feel a pang of sadness at missing Dancemakers this weekend (remember when I got stuck in the parking garage? Hilarious), but it’s fun to think of 2019 as a new chapter. Who knows what the next 600 columns will bring? Peace out.

And the survey says ... Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

This month while you’re taking your Christmas decorations up to the attic ...

A research firm offered me a complimentary $25 gift card from a local supermarket for answering a few quesHUMOR tions online. I figured it was a marketing scam. I wasn’t born yesterday. In fact, as you’ll see, I was born 100 years ago. I had to give permission for my responses to be forwarded to businesses that would contact me to pitch their products. What was I thinking? The first line asked for my birthday. In the drop-down menu, I chose the earliest birth year listed: 1918. I thought that might dissuade life insurance companies from pestering me. Several odd questions followed: Ninety-two percent of females who fill out this survey want to receive free samples. Do you? (I’m a guy. How do I answer that? I think the first question on tests should be the easiest). Forty percent of survey takers meditate. Do you? (Yes. I’m currently deep in thought, wondering why I’m doing this for a lousy 25 bucks). They asked my level of education. The last

choice was: “I’d rather not answer this.” Next up: Have you considered replacing your home’s aluminum siding? I clicked “yes.” I was afraid that too many “no” answers would suggest I was just in this for the free frozen pizzas. While I was still typing, the phone rang. “Mr. Wolfsie, this is Monroe Home Improvement. Based on your response 45 seconds ago, we have determined you could benefit from our aluminum siding, which comes with a lifetime warranty.” “Look at the survey. I’m 100 years old. Could I rent your siding?” At the end, the research company reserved the option of substituting a prize equivalent to $25 in free groceries, which probably meant a knock-off Rolex. I called the hotline and told the woman I felt I had been conned and that the entire questionnaire was a waste of my time. She said 82 percent of the people who took the survey felt exactly the same way.

DISPATCHES St. Vincent Carmel offers women’s seminar — St. Vincent Carmel Women’s Center, 13420 N. Meridian St., is offering a free community seminar from 6 to 7 p.m. Jan. 24 to answer questions about natural childbirth and midwives. Bethany Monte, Certified Nurse Midwife and Dr. Amy Moon, OB/Gyn, will be presenting and will answer questions about birthing options available at St. Vincent. According to WebMD, natural childbirth, which women have experienced for centuries, is undergoing a renaissance of sorts as a growing number of women are electing to have a midwife shepherd them through the delivery at home or in a birthing center.

It produces a bounty of well-known health benefits, from helping with weight loss to reducing stress to keeping your memory sharp and your heart healthy. It can even help you avoid premature death, if you move at more than a saunter, especially as you get older, new research reveals. You don’t have to be a speed walker, but walking at a brisk clip might reduce your risk of early mortality. Want to aim for a brisk pace? That’s 120 to 130 steps per minute.

‘Plogging’ for heart health — Looking for a workout that delivers heart-healthy benefits, gets you outdoors and is good for your community? Welcome to plogging, a combination of jogging and picking up litter, originated in Sweden. It’s a good workout, since you’re adding squatting (to gather trash) to running or walking. You’ll be outdoors, soaking up vitamin D and improving your mood. And you’ll be doing your part to make the world a cleaner place. By collecting a few plastic bottles, cigarette butts or food wrappers off the ground, you’ll be doing something meaningful.

Bacteria affect our metabolism and obesity rates, among other things, so the connection seems logical. This may be true, but scientists don’t fully understand how the millions of bacteria already in our bodies work together. What we do know, though, is that most yogurts are packed with sugar, which contributes to obesity and other problems. So if you enjoy yogurt, find some that isn’t full of empty calories.

After nearly 12 years in business, children’s retail store Ballerinas and Bruisers will close mid-February. Owner Steve MAIN STREET Schwartz, known as Mr. Steve to his young customers, said a variety of factors played into the decision, including his residential move to Indianapolis and the changing retail environment. “Local people have to learn to support local more,” he said. Ballerina and Bruiser’s business model has changed through the years. The store added larger sizes for preteens and expanded options of pet food and treats. Schwartz recently eliminated vendors who sold their product online for less. In the short term, Schwartz plans to travel with his husband and has several volunteer commitments under way. He’s in the process of exploring a new venture, most likely closer to Indianapolis, although he hasn’t ruled out Zionsville. “I’ve got to figure out what I’m going to do,” he said. “I never say never. I never say goodbye. I don’t know what will happen.” Although he doubts he will re-open Ballerinas and Bruisers at a different location, he plans to keep up with the latest youth trends and fashion. “I will continue to do something with children in some way, shape or form,” he said. “Kids are my passion.” The hardest part, Schwartz said, is leav-

ing behind the customers and youngsters. “Kids that I have watched be born and grow up, I’ll miss that dramatically,” he said. Almost everything at the 180 S. Main Street store is 10 to 50 percent off. Also announced recently, children’s clothing retailer Gymboree Group Inc. plans to file for bankruptcy protection and close all 900 of its stores under the Gymboree, Janie and Jack and Crazy 8 brands. At least six stores in the Indianapolis area will close as a result. Earth Explorers Toys, a longstanding Zionsville children’s store, also closed in 2017.

Gleckman’s devotion to craft pays off with composing job By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com At 18, Ashton Gleckman didn’t graduate from high school and hasn’t learned to drive. Yet, he just landed a job with his composing role MUSIC model. Gleckman, a composer and musician, started a job this month with Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music in Santa Monica, Calif. Gleckman left Carmel High School after his sophomore year in May of 2017. “I didn’t get a GED or anything. I just went after my passion for music and spent full-time studying,” Gleckman said. “I started scoring short films and did a few documentaries. I just focused all the time I would have been spending on school and focused on my craft.” Gleckman’s father, Ari Gleckman, said his son will start at $48,000 per year. “Not bad for a high school dropout,” his father joked. Gleckman interned for Zimmer’s film scoring company, Remote Control Productions, in July 2017 in Los Angeles. Zimmer has composed for more than 150 films, including the Academy Award- winning score for “The Lion King,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Gladiator” and “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series. Zimmer has won four Grammy Awards and two Golden Globes. Gleckman didn’t meet Zimmer until after his internship. Gleckman drew Zimmer’s attention when he saw Gleckman’s YouTube series, “Behind the Score,” in which he examines and reconstructs film scores. Gleckman further attracted Zimmer’s attention following the release of an episode exploring Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” for which Zimmer wrote the score. “We analyzed film scores and how composers create the music,” Gleckman said. “Randomly, he ended up seeing the ‘Inception’ episode and made contact. A few months later I did something on ‘The Dark Knight,’ and I got a message from him. From there, I got a chance to meet with him (in May 2018) and have a conversation. He was genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve met. He made me feel at home.” Gleckman interviewed with Bleeding Fingers in September 2018. The fact he never graduated from high school never came up during his interview with Bleeding Fingers. “What they did ask is, ‘Can we hear your music?’” Gleckman said. “Hans and the Bleeding Fingers staff have an amazing ear for music. It’s all about, Can you write music, and can you do it pretty quickly?” Bleeding Fingers Music was co-founded by Zimmer, his business partner Steve Kofsky and Russell Emanuel. It is a joint venture with Extreme Music, part of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. “It writes custom music for TV shows, everything from BBC shows to Netflix to shows on the History Channel,” Gleckman said. “They also score for ‘The Simpsons’ as well.”

Gleckman will live in an apartment less than a mile from work and can walk or bike to work. His sister, Ariana, lives in Hollywood. Gleckman attended the New York University film scoring workshop in June 2017 and spent six weeks in master classes in Vienna, Austria, in the summer of 2018. “That, for me, was like my university experience,” Gleckman said of the master classes. “There was Conrad Pope, who is a veteran in the industry who has worked on most of the ‘Harry Potter’ films and ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Star Wars.’ So, you’re learning directly from these people who have really made a name for themselves.” Gleckman has written, directed and scored five films, including the award-winning short “The Soldier.” He earned Best Young Filmmaker honors at the Los Angeles Film Awards in 2018. “I got inspired by watching ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and wanted to make something myself,” Gleckman said. “(I had) virtually no budget at all and had a few friends I tricked into helping me on the project and spent a couple of days shooting it. It was a big passion project. I wrote that, edited and wrote the music for it.”

Suzanne Stark has long wanted to perform with Actors Theatre of Indiana. “Their THEATER shows are wonderful and the production quality is through the roof,” Stark said. Stark is making her ATI debut in playing Lita EnStark core, the grandmother of 8-year-old Tina Denmark, in the production of “Ruthless! The Musical” from Jan. 25 to Feb. 17 at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Nya Beck, a 10-year-old Fishers resident, is playing Denmark, who is convinced she was born to play Pippi Longstocking and will do anything to win the part, including murder. The musical is a spoof of musicals such as “Gypsy” and “Mame” and movies like “The Bad Seed” and “All About Eve.” “I’ve never seen it before, but the script is a lot of fun,” Stark said. “I think we’re going to have fun with it. It’s very sassy. It’s a satire.”

Stark, who lives in the Nora area of Indianapolis, has acted at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre since the 1980s. Stark said the role is a little outside her comfort zone. “I always played the ingenues, and then I moved into the ‘Hello Dolly’ and the “Mame’ (type roles), and then I started playing more character roles,” Stark said. “I’ve not played a role this far over the top. She’s not Beck nice. I think the audience is going to laugh at her. We’re all kind of mean and do terrible things.” Beck said she was invited to audition. “I practiced, auditioned and I got it,” Beck said. “This is a real good learning experience.” She has been taking voice lessons from Tamara Totty, a Zionsville voice teacher. The Lantern Road Elementary fourth-grader performed in Civic Theatre’s production of “Annie” in 2017, playing one of the orphans. Beck appeared in Civic productions of “The Music Man” in 2017 and “Fiddler on the Roof” in 2017. For more, visit atistage.org.

Texas Roadhouse

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14758 Greyhound Plaza, Westfield What to get: 8 oz. USDA choice sirloin Price: $12.99 Anna’s take: Typically, I stay away from chain restaurants when writing this column because I am a big proponent of local, small businesses – restaurants included. However, Texas Roadhouse opened just off U.S. 31 north of 146th Street in Westfield in December 2018, and it’s been all the hype, so I thought I’d give it a try. My verdict is Texas Roadhouse offers decent steak for an excellent price. The free cinnamon-butter rolls are a plus, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. To start, I tried the Cactus Blossom ($5.99), golden-fried, crunchy, onion-y goodness served with a Cajun horseradish sauce for dipping. The onion is split in a blossom shape, hence the name. This was a good price for a huge appetizer, and there’s plenty to share. For steak, I ordered the 8 oz. USDA choice sirloin and added shrimp because I’m a fa-

Texas Roadhouse is known for its steaks, but it has something for everyone on the menu. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

natic for anything seafood. I order my steak medium-rare. Anything more done than that takes away the flavor in my opinion, and I paired it with steak fries. Texas Roadhouse actually sent staff from locations from across the U.S. to the Westfield location during its first few days of operation to ensure a smooth, easy opening while new staff members received training. Having worked in restaurants prior to my career in journalism, I thought this was a nice touch and showed effort on corporate’s end. Suggested pairings: Generally, I only order margaritas when I’m eating Mexican food, but don’t skip Texas Roadhouse’s Original Margarita on the rocks. It’s served in a glass the size of a cauldron and is made with three tequilas, a housemade sweet and sour, orange juice and agave nectar.

Behind bars: Aperol Spritzer Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Aperol, soda, Prosecco, orange slice Directions: Fill to wine line with Prosecco, add Aperol and top with soda water. Add an orange slice to garnish.

St. Paul’s Cathedral from the London Eye. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Progress threatens an iconic view Commentary by Don Knebel London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral has avoided the fiery fate of its many predecessors, but progress threatens its iconic status. In 604, a cathedral dedicated TRAVEL to St. Paul was built on Ludgate Hill, the highest point in London. That cathedral burned. Its replacement was burned by the Vikings in 962 and its replacement also was destroyed by fire in 1087. The Normans soon began building a replacement, but its construction was interrupted by fire. In 1240, what became known as “Old St. Paul’s” was finally completed and was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Today’s St. Paul’s, completed in 1710, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, who is buried in the crypt below. During World War II, a German bomb that would have destroyed St. Paul’s was defused. St. Paul’s most famous feature is its dome, the second largest in Europe, rising 366 feet above the street. The top of the dome and a magnificent view of London can be reached

by 560 steps. About halfway up, visitors can stop at the Whispering Gallery, just inside the dome. Because of the dome’s interior geometry, a whisper can be heard clearly on the other side, more than 100 feet away. Until 1956, a law precluded London buildings higher than St. Paul’s, and its famous dome could be seen from throughout the city. That law was repealed in 1956, and St. Paul’s lost its claim as London’s tallest building to the BT Tower in 1962. Today, more than 60 London buildings are taller than St. Paul’s. Eight visual corridors leading to unobstructed views of St. Paul’s dome are legally protected, but there is pressure to eliminate them in the name of architectural progress. The time may well come when the best view of St. Paul’s dome is from atop the London Eye. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.
