Zionsville lands Indiana’s first Hy-Vee supermarket By Zach Swaim and Ann Marie Shambaugh zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com Zionsville has been selected as the site of the first Hy-Vee supermarket in Indiana, with the Iowa-based comBUSINESS pany announcing Jan. 25 its intentions to build a 150,000-square-foot facility on vacant land on the southwest corner of Whitestown Parkway and S. County Road 700 E. Plans are still being finalized and will need to go through the Plan Commission and will require town council approval. “We are excited that Hy-Vee has chosen Zionsville as a location to put down new roots,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated in a press release. “With their commitment to quality of service, variety of products, selection of healthy food and an in-store pharmacy, Hy-Vee will benefit Zionsville residents, our neighboring communities and visitors. We are grateful for the collaboration with the Hy-Vee team and welcome them to town.” Hy-Vee is an employee-owned corporation with yearly sales of $12 billion in revenue. The company was listed on USA Today’s 10 Best Supermarket list in 2021, coming in second behind The Fresh Market. It also has been ranked in the top 10 of most trusted brands in the 2015 Temkin Loyalty index. “I’m excited about it,” Zionsville Town Council President Jason Plunkett said. “I’ve been to a few Hy-Vee stores out in Missouri and they were pretty impressive, and I think that residents in the district are always looking for new services, consumer opportunities and to visit new establishments in

Controversial artwork on traffic control box to be redesigned By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com The artwork on the traffic control box that was subject to last year’s controversy is to be refreshed yet again in early ART spring. The Zionsville Cultural District is calling for local artists to submit design ideas to the organization’s artist review panel for consideration. Carla Howie, board president for the ZCD, said the organization’s decision to change the design was not made because of public outcry, but rather because the social justice artwork was always intended to be a temporary fixture. “It was never designed to be a permanent installation,” Howie said. “Zionsville will be redoing that whole front area with the gateway project, and the traffic control box is being refreshed along with it.” The social justice-inspired piece, which depicts a closed white fist being held up by children painted in different colors, was met
with concern by some in the community, while others applauded it. The art project was organized by an eighth-grade Zionsville Middle School student, with collaboration from three other Zionsville Community Schools students. The controversial closed fist section of the box was painted by a high school student. “It’s been there since 2020 and it was time for a change,” Howie said. “It promoted a lot of comments and provoked people’s thoughts, which is what art is supposed to do. It served its mission, which was to acknowledge the social movement that was happening at the time.” The traffic control box, located at Sycamore and Main Street, is to be redesigned by a local artist. “I’m sure it will be Zionsville related, so hopefully this time it will be free from controversy. There will be no religious or political messaging or anything of that nature,” Howie said. “It’s just a refresh.” To submit renderings, visit zvillecd.org.

Ah, fudge Commentary by Ward Degler There’s not a whole lot I like about winter. I don’t do well in the cold, and if I put on enough clothing to stay PLAIN TALK warm, I can’t move. Having said that, I admit to loving slate juncos — these little gray and white birds that skitter around in the snow picking up seeds that have fallen from the shrubs and trees. They are members of the sparrow family, but you’d never know since they spend more time walking than flying. When I was a kid living in Wisconsin, we called them “snowbirds” because they only showed up in winter. And when it’s winter in Wisconsin, you just naturally have snow. One of our family’s favorite things to do during a Wisconsin winter was to make fudge. When we had just moved into a log cabin in the Northwoods, I vividly remember snow falling. It was probably below zero, and Dad suddenly announced it was time to make fudge. The thing about fudge is, it has to cool before you can eat it. And since it was winter in Wisconsin, there was no more perfect place to cool anything than just outside the
back door. Mom covered the fudge with wax paper and set it on the stoop. An hour later, we opened the door to retrieve our prize, only to find an empty plate — along with about a dozen satisfied snowbirds. They had literally eaten every crumb of our fudge. Not to be outdone, Dad whipped up another batch of fudge and poured it into the plate. This time, Mom covered it with a metal pie plate. For the next hour we listened to frustrated snowbirds hammering away on the pie plate. The rest of that winter we enjoyed the snowbird’s percussion symphony every time we made fudge. I haven’t made fudge in years but watching those little birds scamper around outside makes me think it might be a good time to get out the skillet and the pie pan.

Senior develops into versatile threat for Fishers basketball team By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jeffrey Simmons’ college future will be on the football field, but for now, he is flourishing for one of the state’s top high school boys basketball teams. “I think I’ve grown in becoming an allaround basketball player,” the Fishers High School senior said. “Throughout my younger years, I was mainly a post-up guy. With Coach (Garrett) Winegar coming in, he has helped a lot with handling the ball my junior and senior year (and) making 3s, hitting shots off (the) drive and pick-and-pop.” Prior to the Jan. 28 game at Franklin Central, the 6-foot-5 Simmons was averaging team-highs of 18 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for the Class 4A No. 3 Tigers (14-2). “He’s our leader,” Winegar said. “He does a lot of other things that don’t show up on the stat sheet. Defensively, he is always guarding the other team’s big guy. I really think he’s the best big guy in the state. He’s so good in football, he doesn’t get the recognition in basketball that he deserves.” A tight end, Simmons has signed to play

We worked on his ballhandling and shooting. He’s doing a better job attacking off the bounce. “Now, he can shoot at all levels, shooting 3s, driving, mid-range and inside.” Although he’ll play football in college, Simmons said he was committed to finishing his high school basketball career. He said he’s played with most of his teammates for six years. “I knew we had a great group coming back and I didn’t want to miss out on an opportunity like this,” he said. Simmons is the all-time leading scorer and rebounder for FHS, which opened in 2006. “I can’t thank my teammates and coaches (enough) because they have done just as much as I have with putting the work in,” he said. Simmons chose Miami, which plays in the Mid-American Conference, even though he had offers from Indiana University and the University of Cincinnati.

Zionsville food pantry moving to new building By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com The Zionsville Food Pantry, which operates inside of Zionsville Presbyterian Church, will soon move out into its own space in a new building on the church grounds. “The pantry began over 30 years ago in a closet in a classroom and now operates out of two classrooms, which have basically become warehouses,” pantry volunteer Catherine Coscia said. “Our growth has been through a specific response to the needs noted in our area. Boone County has grown, and the number of people seeking assistance has increased with it.” ZPC Pastor Jerry Deck said pantry volunteers have done a tremendous job of making use of rooms that were not originally intended to be a food pantry. Deck “They have developed creative ways to serve those in need, though it has not been without its challenges” Deck said. “The space has become more compact as they’ve needed to add freezers. The aisles are tight, and there is a pretty strict limitation in terms of the height of food because of the lower ceilings.” Space, however, won’t soon be an issue. Church officials hope a building permit for the new building can be obtained in February. The 5,400-square-foot facility will be in the church parking lot, 4775 W. 116th St., and cost approximately $975,000. Construction is expected take between nine and 13 months to complete. “We’ll have the size we need for another 30 years of growth in a building designed to store and distribute food,” Coscia said. Coscia, who has volunteered with the pantry for 13 years, said it serves 60 to 100 families a week, depending on factors such as utility costs, unemployment benefits and weather. Another pantry volunteer, Angie Campbell, said the pandemic has increased the number of registered clients considerably, making the pantry more essential than ever. “The support from the food pantry is

immediate,” Campbell said. “Food is provided the same day the client registers with us. This safety net allows families to utilize scarce cash for other needs.” The new building will also allow the pantry to provide more variety. “We have been able to offer fresh and frozen food, but in limited quantities, as we currently have just 10 freezers and two refrigerators,” Coscia said. “The new pantry will have a walk-in refrigerator and freezer to allow for healthier food choices. Our current rooms have been maximized and really can’t fit any more product in place.” Deck foresees the stand-alone building making the pantry even more accessible to the community. “This will allow more people to know that the pantry is here to serve those in need and also serve as a sign that this community cares for, and stands alongside, those who are hungry,” Deck said.
THANKFUL FOR COMMUNITY HELP “It’s amazing to see neighbors helping neighbors by providing transportation or delivering to families for whom it has been

safer to stay home,” Campbell said. Forty percent of the food distributed is from the USDA, delivered monthly by Gleaners. Another 40 percent is purchased through Gleaners and picked up weekly. The pantry is also supported through the Simply Give campaign at Meijer. “We receive money that customers donate and Meijer matches to purchase items for the pantry,” Coscia said. “Finally, 20 percent comes from food donations brought to the church or food drives. We have been so humbled by the support of many individuals
from the community and organizations who have supported the building project. “We are making excellent progress towards our goal but still have room for individuals who are interested in supporting the project to donate and join us.” For more about donating to the Raise the Roof campaign, email foodpantry@zpc.org.

Fifty reasons to celebrate
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Information about what we might like, or not, is being collected and sold all around us. In fact, if we are reading this article online right now, chances are that someone, somewhere, is taking note. Certainly, it is not all nefarious. Some are legitimate retailers attempting to bring to us messages that may be more likely to be of interest. But for just as many others, our presumed preferences are being bought and sold in back-alley marketplaces deeply hidden from our view. Who knows what about us? Why don’t they tell us how they got our information and from whom? Ask a marketer how they came to know your telephone number or email address and they are as likely to hang up as they are to answer. In most cases, the front-line workers are not informed of how our contact information was collected. Plausible deniability is important in this game. In a day, not that long ago, if someone reached out by name, it was a safe assumption that they either knew us directly or knew someone who did. The social contract required that their interactions with us be predicated upon a connection to another person. If the newly introduced individual or organization acted badly, it would reflect poorly on the person making the introduction. The axiom played, “It is not what you know but who you know.” Today, our inboxes are filled with emails from supposed long-lost friends. “Hey, insert name here, you must have missed responding to my last email, but I hope you and your terrific spouse, insert name here, will get back to me.” The problem is that it is all fake. There is no previous contact. There is no relationship. It seems that today it is, “What you know, not who you know.”
It’s finally happened, friends. I hit the big 5-0 this week and am now officially eligible for full AARP benefits. Naturally, I celebrated with a hands-y mammogram and a successful bone density test. Happy birthday to me! I am one Fifty is the new step closer to 40, after all, and that senior livI’m planning to ing community lifestyle I have embrace every dreamed about second of it. for so long. – DANIELLE WILSON But seriously, I don’t feel 50, at least not what I thought it would feel like 20 years ago. I can still jog a few miles with only minor incontinence issues, I can walk up and down stairs with very few knee creaks, and apart from hating everyone and everything after 8 p.m., I am generally content most of the time. Nor do I think I look 50. When I flip through photos of my grandmother at the same age, I see a gray-haired matron straight from central casting. But if I put my red mop in a ponytail and bravely forgo eyeliner, I have a good shot at being carded. Maybe not in a Bloomington bar but definitely at Meijer. And though I wear comfy sweats around the house, I keep my “public” wardrobe fairly on trend, thanks to two brutally honest daughters. Harsh criticism equals fashion kindness apparently. Fifty is the new 40, after all, and I’m planning to embrace every second of it. There’s a certain gravitas that comes with meeting the half-century mark. I have experienced love and loss, witnessed compassion and cruelty and raised four moderately well-adjusted young adults. I even survived ‘80s bangs and a Skid Row concert. Think of the wisdom I can impart! AARP, my application is on its way! Peace out.

Bagfuls of food for thought I’m in a lot of trouble. I tried to sneak in the back door without my wife seeing me, but I got caught with you-know-what on my breath: salami. Yes, I had been out carousing. At Kroger. Since COVID-19 started, my wife prefers that we not go into stores, but instead pick up our food orders curbside. I’m sorry, but you can’t indulge yourself in guilty delights on a computer screen, so … I put on my N95 mask and silently slipped out the door. Sounds mysterious, doesn’t it? I returned home with a bagful of goodies. I’ve devised many clever places to hide questionable food choices. I once got caught hiding a Johnsonville sausage link in an empty lamp socket. “What is that?” she asked. “It’s a 40-brat bulb,” I told her. Back to my attempted covert entry into the house. Mary Ellen eyed each item as I unloaded my bag onto the counter: Muffins: “Are they gluten free? How much added sugar?” Eggs: “Did you look at the expiration date? Did you check to see if any of them
were cracked? These are not from cage-free farms. And they’re cheaper at Costco. Brown eggs don’t go with the new fridge.” French bread: “It’s just going to go bad. You never finish it. It gets hard as a rock overnight because you don’t seal the package. After three days, the birds won’t even eat it.”

Almonds are better for us.” Milk: “A quart? It’s so much cheaper by the gallon. And how many grown men still drink chocolate milk?” Cheese dip: “That reminds me, did you remember to pick up your Lipitor?”

EXCEPTIONAL CARE. SIMPLY DELIVERED.
My wife doesn’t have food cravings like I do. If Mary Ellen turned to me one night and said, “I have this hankering for a pastrami sandwich and a half sour pickle,” well, I can tell you right now, I’d want to check her photo ID before we spent the rest of the night together. Last week, I was yearning for a jumbo shrimp cocktail. By the time I got to the store, I had lost that desire and opted instead for a bag of Spicy Nacho Doritos. That poor nutritional choice required finding the perfect hiding place at home to avoid my wife’s disapproving eye. I can never use the space under the back deck. The raccoons know exactly what I’m up to. Truth is, I get a kick out of the game of Hide and Eat. I recently stashed a chocolate chip cookie under my pillow. That night, just after we turned off our bedroom TV, Mary Ellen made me promise to think about laying off of bad food. I told her I’d sleep on it.

F3 Nation expands to Zionsville By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A unique men’s workout group that originated in North Carolina in 2011 has found its way to Zionsville. FITNESS F3 Nation is a network of free, peer-led workouts for men in the United States. The organization is estimated to have more than 40,000 active participants in 39 states. The group’s stated mission is “to plant, grow and serve small men’s workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.” The F’s in F3 stand for fitness, fellowship and faith. Besides being free and peer led, the group’s principles are it’s always outside, open to all men and ends in a circle of trust. Men who participate in two workouts are given a nickname. “My nickname is McStuffins, like the Disney Junior character, because I’m a physician myself,” member Grant Gilroy said. “I’m
a pulmonary and critical care doctor. I’m the chief of medical services at Roudebush VA. I have three daughters who like the TV show, ‘Doc McStuffins.’” Dr. Grant Gilroy, a Zionsville resident and site leader, has met with the group in the parking lot of Zionsville Presbyterian Church since June 2020. “The group started in Carmel five years ago,” Gilroy said. “And that group had started from someone who had moved here from down south.” In the past several months, the F3 group has expanded into Mulberry Fields Park a few days a week. Gilroy said people from Zionsville who were part of the group wanted to work out closer to their homes. He joined when it started in Zionsville because his gym was closed at the time because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The location and times of each workout can be found at f3indianapolis.com.

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre puts its twist on ‘The Black Dahlia’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hannah Brown is delighted to get another opportunity to be “The Black Dahlia.” “It’s exciting to do PERFORMANCE a leading role and to get to do it more than once,” the Carmel resident said. “It’s nice to be able to look back on what you did five years ago and see what worked and what could have been improved and then work harder to try to make it better this time — grow the character a little more and dig a little deeper to the path of the character and her motivations.” Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will present “The Black Dahlia” for six performances Feb. 12 to 27 at The Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel. Performances are at 7 p.m. Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. The rehearsal space will be transformed into a black-box theater to create a cabaret. The production is inspired by the unsolved 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short in Los Angeles. She was nicknamed the Black Dahlia by the press for her rumored penchant for wearing sheer black clothes. The film “The Blue Dahlia” also had come out in 1946. The show was previously presented by the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre in February 2017. “I’m working on the acting elements of the part,” Brown said. “I’ll try to make the dancing elements stronger and cleaner. Not that I think it went bad the last time, but five years later I’ve grown as a dancer. I’m trying to elevate myself. My confidence and comfortability on who I am as a dancer has grown. “I’m more aware of my strength and where I need more work.” Carmel resident Abigail Lessaris, who plays Short’s sister, said although the show is based on the gruesome murder, it is an entertaining “whodunit.” “We’ve taken it and twisted it and given it fun characters on what could have

happened,” Lessaris said. “It’s really not so dark. It’s kind of like if you went to a murder mystery dinner and everyone was acting out these dramatic parts that could have happened. There is a nostalgic feeling.” Gregory Hancock, the theater’s executive artistic director, said the production, which has a film noir atmosphere, has a lot of fun music. “I like to take some beautiful, light music and put something a little dark with it,” Hancock said. “It’s not that we’re being disrespectful of the story. It’s very sad and emotional at the end. For the audience, it’s nice to have this nostalgic feeling about the music, about the old Hollywood style of hair and makeup. “At the end, this was a real person and murder. We’re taking artistic liberties to make it more theatrical.” Lessaris said several people falsely confessed to the murder. “What was their motivation for saying they did it, even though they didn’t?” Les-
saris said. “What could have driven someone to murder her? Before she dies, there is a lot of interaction with the character. There is a lot of buildup to the murder.” Hancock said the audience can decide what happened at the end between four scenarios. There are five monologues as part of the show. “It’s very much a dance show, but we’re speaking and delivering our monologues to the audience,” Lessaris said. Hancock said it’s a little easier for performers to do monologues in the more intimate space of the Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre than their usual home at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “Some of the monologues have been tweaked to help the storyline,” Hancock said. “I’ve added three new sections of choreography to elaborate on the stories a little bit.” For more, visit gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

Civic presents zany ‘whodunit’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Matt Kraft’s role is unique in “The 39 Steps.” “I personally PLAY am the only member of the cast who plays one character and one character only,” Kraft said. “So, I am lucky in that I just get to Glickman watch everyone else jump in and out of playing different characters. They are so good at switching between characters that I think the audience will really get a kick out of it.” The Carmel resident Relberg plays Richard Hannay in Civic Theatre’s production of “The 39 Steps,” which is set from Feb. 4 to 19 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “The fast-paced whirlwind chase of this story is a huge part of what makes it such a great time,” Kraft said. “There are a lot of great plays that are also really emotionally heavy and serious, so I’m excited to be in one that is just zany fun.” The other three actors in the show play a combined 150 different characters. Carmel resident John Walls and Eric Reiberg are listed as clowns. “It is such a great challenge to take on this role and its many characters appearing throughout the show,” Walls said. “It is an extreme test of mental, technical and physical acting skills. Because there are so many changes which come about so quickly, it requires complete concentration. We are all exhausted at the end of rehearsal.” Walls said he has been in a few fast-
paced shows and acted in several farce comedies in the past. Most recently, he performed in “Lend Me a Tenor” with the Carmel Community Players. Walls said he has only seen the original Alfred Hitchcock movie version of “The 39 Steps,” which wasn’t a comedy and actors didn’t play multiple roles. “But I think that can sometimes be a good thing Kraft (because) you know that whatever you bring to the play will be your own and not derivative of someone else’s interpretation,” he said of not having seen another production of the play. “The biggest challenge Walls is probably the fact that I play male and female characters, and there are at least four different accents which need to be employed all on command.” Carmel resident Haley Glickman plays Pamela, Annabella and Margaret. “As an actor, it’s very rewarding to be able to create three separate, distinct characters,” Glickman said. “Each woman has her own physicality and voice, which has been a delight to discover in rehearsals. I actually performed ‘The 39 Steps’ before when I was at Carmel High School, so it has been a joy to have the opportunity to revisit the production.” Reiberg said he plays 10 different specific roles. “’It’s a lot of fun really trying to make each one a very specific individual characterization,” he said. “I haven’t done any (show) that (transition) quite as quickly as this. Since there are only four actors, there are very few moments when we aren’t on stage or getting ready to go on.”

A visit to historic Cairo Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the first of a series about Egyptian cities with pleasant winter weather, we will visit Cairo, with TRAVEL February high temperatures averaging 69 degrees, with a75 percent of sunshine. Cairo, the capital of Egypt, lies along the Nile River about 100 miles upriver (south) of the Mediterranean, near the beginning of the Nile Delta that has been important to Egyptians for thousands of years.Beginning in about 2,600 B.C., Old Kingdom pharaohs built the famous pyramids of Giza on a plateau now on the outskirts of Cairo. Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt, was in the same area. The modern history of Cairo began in A.D. 969, when the Muslim rulers of Egypt established a city on the east bank of the Nile, which became Egypt’s capital 200 years later. By the 14th century, Cairo had replaced Baghdad as the center of the Islamic world. Today, Greater Cairo, with more than 21 million people, is the world’s sixth-most populous urban area. Despite having its share of slums, overcrowding and traffic, the downtown area rivals most European cities for its attractiveness and accommodations, with luxurious hotels offering a great view of the Nile. The five-star Mena House Hotel, once a royal hunting lodge, is within walking distance of the Giza pyramids and Great Sphinx. Visitors to Cairo who want to learn about the city and its history should visit, in addition to the pyramids, Coptic Cairo (home to early churches), Islamic Cairo (with many historic mosques), the Citadel, the Egyptian

What in the Wordle? Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Have you been seeing strange updates on your friends’ social media accounts? I’m not talking about armchair political hot takes or quack medical adGRAMMAR GUY vice — that’s standard social media fare. I’m referring to rows of gray, yellow and green squares. Your friends and work acquaintances aren’t posting secret codes; they’re posting about a viral game called Wordle. The game is simple: Figure out the five-letter word of the day in six attempts or fewer. If you guess a correct letter in the correct spot, that letter will turn green. If you try a letter from the word in an incorrect spot, that letter will turn yellow. Finally, if you guess a letter that isn’t in the word at all, it will become grayed out on your keyboard. Your goal, of course, is to arrive at the word of the day in as few chances as possible. Believe it or not, there’s not an app for
this (although there is an app called Wordle, but it’s not the one everyone is playing). You have to go to powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle to play. I suppose Wordle could be just another pandemic fad. Of course, as a wonky word warrior, I wanted to figure out how to dominate Wordle. Naturally, I turned to my nextdoor neighbor, Beth. According to Beth (who hasn’t missed a word yet), the first word to pick is always “least.” You’ll likely get multiple “yellow” or “green” letters from this word. Her second-round word is “round,” which covers five more common letters. Once you tackle those two words, you’ll probably have a decent idea of the word for your third round.
