Patient-focused Brightstar Care continues growth
By Tirzah Rowland tirzah@youarecurent.com
BrightStar Care in Indianapolis goes beyond home health care and medical staffing to provide compassionate patient-centered services to central Indiana, according to its staff.
HEALTH CARE
“We view this as a vocation, and it’s a mission to serve others, and that’s been the driving force behind continuing the traditions of excellence that have been in place with this agency,” said David Stordy, a Westfield resident who co-owns the franchise with his wife, Jeanne. “We feel honored and very fortunate to be able to be a part of people’s life journey and providing these care services.”
The team of 115 staff and caregivers provides nursing care to pediatric patients up to seniors. Offering in-home infusions, therapeutic procedures and injections, as well as wound care and medication management, BrightStar nurses treat patients of all ages.
Patients are assigned a registered nurse with at least two years of experience to develop patient care plans and provide care.
“We do everything in home care, with the exception of where we are not Medicare Part A-certified,” David Stordy said.
“So, when someone comes directly out of the hospital, they’re most likely going to go with the Medicare Part A health agency anywhere from a few days to a month or so, and then then we normally will step in if the person has a need for longer-stay home care services.”
One of the first Brightstar Care franchises in the nation, which was opened in 2007 by Carmel resident Jon Olson, the business grew to become one of the top-performing locations. When Olson and his wife Jill Gilmer decided to step away from the company to focus on their growing family, they knew the franchise was in good hands when the Stordys took ownership in early 2023.
“They are wonderful people, and we thought their background and their morals
and everything about them would be a good fit for BrightStar and keep the legacy,” Olson said.
For the Stordys, four of their five children are grown and their youngest is a senior in high school and they were looking for a new direction. Jeanne Stordy brought her background as a physical therapist into the company while David Stordy has 30 years in the health care industry working with assisted living, memory care and home health agencies.
The Stordys have seen continued growth through referrals and have added nurse case managers and scheduling personnel.
“We’ll continue that intensive focus on person-to-person relationships with our caregivers, directly with our clients, with their adult children and their responsible parties who help manage their care,” David
Stordy said.
While Brightstar has Medicaid licenses and is contracted with Anthem, United and Humana to care for patients through the Indiana Pathways for Aging program, they also accept some insurance plans.
“We’re one of 35 agencies in the state of Indiana that is contracted with the Veterans Administration, so we have a number of veterans that we’re honored to serve who served our country,” David Stordy said.
BrightStar Indianapolis has a 24/7 call line staffed by its local team.
“If anything happens anytime, day or night, you’re going to get someone who’s familiar with your mom or dad or your child’s case and can step in and help immediately,” David Stordy said.
To contact Brightstar Indianapolis, call 317-706-0799 or visit brightstarcare.com.
“We feel honored and very fortunate to be able to be a part of people’s life journey and providing these care services.”

North Central graduate leads CIAF committee
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent,com
The Carmel International Arts Festival will have a heavy international dance presence this year.
CULTURE
One group in the spotlight is the Latvian folk dance ensemble Lielupe from Jelgava, Latvia, which started as a seniors’ folk dance group in 1959. The group is now made up of five generations of dancers. Jelgava is one of Carmel’s sister cities.
Carmel resident Andris Berzins, whose parents were from Latvia, is the CIAF chairman of the Sister Cities Ethnic Diversity Committee. Berzins is president of the Jelgava Sister City Committee.
Jelgava is sending the largest group to participate at the free festival Sept. 28-29 in the Carmel Arts & Design District. Lielupe also will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at Carmel Middle School. There is a suggested donation for that performance.
“Even if you don’t donate, everyone is
welcome,” said Berzins, who was born in Indianapolis and is a 1986 North Central High School graduate. “We just want to fill the place. We are just trying to raise a little bit of money to cover some of their expenses.”
Berzins’ mother was from Jelgava, where his father was a police captain. Berzins, 56, is honorary consul for the Republic of Latvia to the state of Indiana.
Starting when he was a child, Berzins participated with the Latvian folk dance group in Indianapolis.
“So, it holds a special place in my heart,” he said. “I danced until I was 35. We all

spoke English, but we spoke Latvian at home. I can read and write in Latvian.”
The other groups include a Mexican ballet, Folkorico Mosaicos; a group from the Indianapolis Chinese Community Center; Holy Trinity Hellenic Dance Group representing Greece; and the Vlad the Impaler Dracula Dance Group representing Romania.
The International State or East Stage is located north of Range Line Road on Main Street. Lielupe also will make an appearance each day on the Main Stage.
“A lot of people think of the Carmel International Arts Festival as a place to see paintings or art,” Berzins said. “Dance is an
art as well. We want people to (not only) have a completely immersive opportunity to see, but also (to) hear and experience the arts.

Meridian Audiology puts patients first
By Tirzah Rowland
The seasoned hearing healthcare practitioners at Meridian Audiology in Indianapolis provide personal, attentive care to patients seeking hearing, tinnitus, and auditory processing evaluations and treatment.
With a combined 30 years of experience as licensed audiologists, Alison Wyss, Au.D and Kira VonBlon, M.S., opened their private practice in July 2021.
“Ali and I are very easy to get to know and get along with, and we’re going to do whatever our patient needs to make them happy,” VonBlon said. “We want people to feel comfortable.”
While Meridian Audiology will service all major brands of hearing aids, the group offers the newest Phonak line of hearing aid products, providing patients with automatic sound adjustment, Bluetooth connectivity for up to eight devices, and a first of its kind Deepsonic AI chip technology providing enhanced speech clarity.
you’ll be able to connect to the sound system of that gate, and that will come directly into the hearing aids.” When the technology becomes available Phonak wearers will be able to use the same technology to connect their hearing aids to sound systems at theatres and other venues. Offering chargers, accessories and phone app control capabilities, the Phonak hearing aids come in a variety of colors. In addition to hair and skin tones, patients can choose from red, green and rose gold.
“Ali and I went to the launch for the products earlier in August, and the biggest thing with the products is they’re really improving listening and understanding in noise, which is always the biggest problem for somebody with hearing loss,” VonBlon said.
The newest advancement offered by the Phonak line is Auracast compatibility.
“It’s not really out and about in our everyday settings yet, but it’s something where it’s going to be really useful,” VonBlon said. “Let’s say you’re in an airport and you’re wanting to hear the announcement at your gate,
Beyond hearing aids, Meridian Audiology offers Listening for Communication Enhancement, an independent training, to patients struggling with speech clarity and understanding speech.

Ballet group gets new name
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent,com
The Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy has a new name and will soon have a new home.
REBRANDING
The organization rebranded as Metropolitan Youth Ballet of Indiana this summer. It is preparing to move into a much larger space at 6210 Technology Dr. in Zionsville by late October.
The Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy was established as a nonprofit in 2018 by Artistic Director Jane Hachiya-Weiner and her husband, Frank Weiner, the associate artistic director. The organization then moved into studios at 96th Street and Ditch Road in Indianapolis.
“At that time, we had every intention of opening under the name Metropolitan Youth Ballet of Indiana, but unfortunately circumstances, and a very short timeline, made that impossible,” Hachiya-Weiner said. “Since then, we’ve had a Carmel name, an Indianapolis address, students from a wide geographic area and a strong presence in the arts communities of each of our neighboring counties, Boone, Marion and Hamilton. In January 2024, with the support and guidance of our board of directors, it was decided that the time was right to bring that name which we have held close to our hearts — Metropolitan Youth Ballet of Indiana — to light. It’s a name that truly reflects who we are and the broad reach and impact of our programming.”
Hachiya-Weiner said the name more accurately reflects the diverse student population, which is composed of dancers ages 3 to 18 from across the metro Indianapolis area.
“It is also more inclusive of the commu-

nities we serve with our stage productions and outreach events,” Hachiya-Weiner said.
“Our main-stage ballets are held at Zionsville’s STAR Bank Performing Arts Center. Our annual Student Showcase is hosted by Marion University Theatre.”
Hachiya-Weiner said the academy’s mission is to develop young dancers to their fullest potential in a nurturing studio environment.
The new space is 9,000 square feet compared to 2,300 square feet in the present building. Hachiya-Weiner said the space will have three large sprung-floor studios, including a full-sized rehearsal studio with black-box theater potential, dancer and parent lounges and workspaces, faculty offices and storage for MYB’s collection of costumes, sets, props and backdrops.

Indy Book Project provides thousands of free books for children
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
Reading is a lifelong skill that never dulls. But to develop that skill, children need books.
Founded in 2018, Indy Book Project has given away more than 241,000 books to Hoosier children. The nonprofit volunteer organization collects books for children ages 0-18 and distributes those items around the Indianapolis metropolitan area, ensuring kids get a chance to lose themselves in a good book.
“We have an incredibly supportive community,” Executive Director Amy Freytag said. “We collect gently used and new books from the community and then we sort them, we clean them, we sticker them and we redistribute them through community centers, other nonprofits, food pantries, pediatricians’ offices, schools and Little Free Libraries.”
The organization operates with a simple premise: children need books.
“As hard as it is to believe, there are children who are growing up in homes and they don’t have any books,” Freytag said. “These areas with little print in their homes are called book deserts. Research has shown that having a home library increases the chance of academic success and vocabulary development and even job attainment. It’s critical, having books at home. And it starts young.”
A former teacher, Freytag said the organization prioritizes providing books not only to children but to their parents to read to them while they are still in the toddler years.
“It’s an important component to developing those lifelong literacy skills,” she said. “Just having 20 books in a house makes an incredible difference. So, that is our goal, making sure these kids have books in their homes.”
Freytag said people might not realize exactly how many homes lack children’s books.
“We have a local pediatrician who we have given books to for quite a while, and she said you might be surprised by how many families come in and don’t have books at home,” she said. “There definitely is a need.”
Organizations that Indy Book Project partners with generally serve a population where at least 50 percent of the children involved are Medicaid-eligible, are on free or reduced lunch or come from low-income families. But it’s not a requirement.
“We give to everybody, because everybody benefits from books at home,” Freytag said. “We serve the entire greater Indianapolis area, and we’ve been contacted by places elsewhere in Indiana for books. If we have the books, we give them. Our mission is to ensure all kids have access to books in their house. So, our focus is really on book ownership and getting books into places where kids will have them in their homes. Also big for us is choice in books —
allowing kids to choose which books they select to take home and making sure we have a diverse selection so all kids can find a book that they can see themselves in.”
In addition to distributing books to organizations and individuals, Indy Book Project participates at special events where books are distributed, including farmers markets, back-to-school events and Stories in the Park in Zionsville.
“There’s nothing like being at these events and seeing these kids pick out books,” Freytag said. “There’s just nothing like seeing the joy in their eyes and on their faces when they are able to select their book and take it for free.”
So far in 2024, Indy Book Project has distributed more than 50,000 books — the majority of which were gently used books donated by the community.
Organizations and individuals who wish to request books can fill out a request form at indybookproject.org.
Indy Book Project was founded in 2018 by Gina Sprenger, who had moved to the area from North Carolina. Sprenger was an active volunteer with the Durham, N.C., nonprofit Book Harvest, but couldn’t find a similar organization in the Indianapolis area.
As someone passionate about book access, Sprenger reached out to the community to see if others were interested.
“She modeled it very similarly to how Book Harvest runs their organization,” Indy Book Project Executive Director Amy Freytag said. “She ran it out of her garage.”
Sprenger moved back to North Carolina in 2022, but the organization had grown enough to carry on, renting out office space in Zionsville and appointing Freytag, who was already an active volunteer, volunteer coordinator and board member, as executive director. Freytag works part time and is the organization’s only paid employee — all other members are 100 percent volunteer.
“We have an incredible base of very dedicated and loyal volunteers,” she said.
Volunteers with Indy Book Project come into the office whenever donated books need to be cleaned, sorted and organized for giveaways — sometimes as often as three times a week. Freytag said some volunteers work as book stewards for Little Free Libraries all around the Indianapolis area, picking up books from the office in Zionsville and ensuring that little libraries in the region remain full.
The organization accepts donations of new and gently used books in both English and Spanish for children aged 0-18. Indy Book Project does not accept books for adults, books with high religious content, coloring books, reference books like dictionaries or thesauruses, activity books or books with extensive wear and tear.
“For kids where this may be the only book they have, we want it to be a book that they’re really going to cherish,” Freytag said. “We want to promote reading for pleasure and really hook kids on the enjoyment of reading, not as something that they have to do because they’ve been told to.”
A book drop for donations is located at the Indy Book Project office, 1539 W. Oak St. in Zionsville. Donation bins are also available at Curious Squirrel Bookshop and 4Kids Books and Toys in Zionsville.
To donate funds or books, host a book drive or volunteer, visit indybookproject.org/get-involved.

Acting friends slip back into ‘Kinky Boots’ roles
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Jacob Butler and Jonathan Studdard are running it back one more time. Butler and Studdard are returning to the same roles in the cast of “Kinky Boots” for a different theater group.
The two will perform in Civic Theatre’s Oct. 4-19 production at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The friends were in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s presentation in 2022.
Butler, a Lawrence resident, plays Charlie Price, who has reluctantly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Lola, a drag queen, played by Fishers resident Studdard, tries to help him.
“I love doing this role,” Butler said. “It’s a lot of fun for me. It’s the Cyndi Lauper music and the right vocals and getting to do those. There’s a lot of meat to dig into in the show.”
Butler said it’s a timely show during a heated political season.
“Getting to share the message of getting to know your neighbor, getting to know the people around you and not judging them before you know them is a great message to share right now,” he said. “This show is a little out of left field for the normal shows in town.”
Butler said he thinks the Beef & Boards audiences didn’t initially know what to expect.
“But once they came and saw us, they were rocking out in their seats,” Butler said. “They were smiling all the time like they were engaged in (the message) we were trying to share.”
Butler said he originally thought he was going to be too busy to do the show, but Studdard convinced him otherwise.
Butler and Studdard were previously in Civic’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”
Studdard made his first Beef & Boards appearance in “Kinky Boots.”
“So, I felt very pressured because I
wanted to do well,” Studdard said. “Their runs are typically a lot longer than our runs, so we did 52 shows in comparison to the eight we do here. The rehearsal period is shorter, two weeks instead of seven weeks, so that made me a bit nervous.”
be his final show for the foreseeable future.
Studdard, 29, said there are a lot of things that can happen in a person’s life in two years and he hopes to bring those personal experiences to his acting.
“I’m really excited to have fun,” Studdard said. “Civic has always been home to me, so I’m really excited to take a dip in Lola’s waters again and close out my theater performance journey with ‘Kinky Boots’ because I got a new job I really love, but this takes me away from performing.”
Studdard, who is director of operations for the Indiana State Museum and historical sites, said “Kinky Boots” will
Caroline Sanchez, a Carmel resident, said she always wanted to perform in “Kinky Boots.”
“I hadn’t seen the show, but I really liked the songs,” said Sanchez, who plays the role of Trish. “I hadn’t done a musical in a very long time, so I just was really excited to get to sing and dance again.”
Sanchez said her biggest challenge is the singing and dancing parts.
“I’m a big Shakespeare and straight play actor,” Sanchez said.
Carmel resident Tommy McConnell, 11, plays the role of young Charlie. A Clay Middle School sixth-grader, he has performed previously in Junior Civic shows.
“I like performing with the adults,” he said. “The show really sends a good message of accepting others for who they are and celebrating our differences.”

Pulling a ‘Ripcord’ for laughs
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
COMEDY
When Miki Mathioudakis read the script for “Ripcord,” she immediately knew she wanted to be a part of the show.
“I had read the play and I thought, ‘Oh, yeah, I want to play Marilyn,’” Mathioudakis said. “Then I went to see the play (in Cincinnati in 2019) and said, ‘Oh, no, I want to play Abby’ because Abby is a real curmudgeon, and she has this wonderful scene with her estranged son.”
play’s director Andrea Odle, a Noblesville resident.
Nehrling, who plays Marilyn, is making her debut with Main Street Productions.
Mathioudakis and fellow Indianapolis resident Tina Nehrling have the leading roles in Main Street Productions’ presentation of “Ripcord” Oct. 3-13 at Basile Westfield Playhouse.
The comedy centers on two women who engage in one-upmanship in a senior living center.
“They’re trying to prank each other to get the other one kicked out,” said the
Nehrling said the show is mixed with anger and tenderness.
“It’s like they’re in a battle and we find out their backstory later and why they’re the way they are,” Nehrling said.
Nehrling said she was not familiar with the show until she read the script. Nehrling and Mathioudakis are longtime friends.
“Oftentimes, we’d be in competition for a role rather than playing together’” said Mathioudakis, who made her first appearance at Basile Westfield Playhouse in April.
Nehrling said the leading roles are strong — not “drippy oatmeal parts,” which are often available for older actresses.
“It’s my favorite kind of play because it’s funny,” Mathioudakis said. “When you laugh, it opens up the tender place inside of you, so deeper truths can touch you.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Cosmopolitan Carmel kitchen
Commentary by Larry Greene
Talk about a transformation! Our clients were determined to make a statement with their downtown Carmel kitchen and our team embraced the challenge. We took their builder-basic space and meticulously reimagined it into a sleek, sophisticated culinary haven that masterfully captures their bold vision.
THE BLUEPRINT
• A stunning gold brushstroke tile, arranged in an artistic pattern, sets the tone, making a bold and sophisticated statement.
• Dark acrylic cabinets are the perfect contrast to the light backsplash and appliances, adding just the right amount of depth and drama.
• A new peninsula, featuring a custom-designed curved corbel, artistically bridges the space between the kitchen and living room.
• A circular light fixture, ombré faucet and appliances with metallic accents add a touch of modern glamour.
