Because all eight of the vaccinated individuals who tested positive had the delta variant, Nielsen said it is likely that the others who tested positive also had the variant. The ISDH did not use PCR tests to determine which variant all positive individuals had. “We used the same air filtration system, and what happened was it got into the air filtration system and went to the other blocks,” Nielsen said, “We feel very confident that the majority of the COVID in our facility is the new variant.” Nielsen said some of the eight individuals who were confirmed to have had the delta variant had shown symptoms of the disease but that none of them had been hospitalized. To date, no one who contracted the disease at the county jail has been hospitalized, he said. “Having the vaccination, I think, has helped them not be hospitalized,” Nielsen said. “The probability of them dying is a lot less because they have been vaccinated. We have learned with the new variant, it spreads quicker than anything I would have ever imagined.” In a statement, Nielsen said he believed the jail would have some cases of COVID-19 as it loosened its COVID-19 policies, “but not to this level so quickly. I can assure you that we are doing everything we can to prevent the spread of the virus while making sure those infected are receiving the best medical care possible and at the same time trying to protect our dedicated staff that is working behind those secured walls every day. “There are two things that we should all learn from this situation; (1) this pandemic is not over and (2) whatever variant this is that is in our facility spreads much quicker than we could have imagined. Please MASK UP and GET VACCINATED, to protect those that are vulnerable and to protect yourself.”

Town Council: Legal battle pushing town over budget By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council publicly announced at its Aug. 3 meeting the cost so far of the ongoing legal LAWSUIT battle between the council and mayor, with the council president saying the suit will likely put the town over its annual legal budget. For 2021, the town’s legal budget is $599,000, of which $180,000 is for town retainer; $186,000 is for the town council’s retainer; and $233,000 is for other legal matters, council president Josh Garrett said. The town and town council retainers are on budget. Submitted invoices through midJune, however, put the town’s nonretainer matters at $228,386.99 for the year. In total, Garrett said the town had spent approximately $472,000 of its $599,000 budget as of mid-June and that the town has another $120,000 in retainer expenses to pay before the end of the year. Most of the nonretainer matters stem

from a lawsuit Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron filed against the town council in March after the council denied her request to discharge Zionsville Fire Chief James VanGorder. In the suit, Styron requested a judge determine whether the town’s mayor has the authority to demote department heads without council approval. Boone County Judge Matthew Kincaid ruled the mayor does not have the authority. But in late July she appealed the decision, which is expected to add to the town’s legal expenses. The above figures do not include legal fees associated with the appeal. “Any other legal matter spent, effectively from this point moving forward, will put us over budget,” Garrett said. It is unknown how much over budget the town will be at the end of the year because of ongoing litigation expenses. Town officials said legal expenses that exceed the legal budget might be paid for by an additional appropriation at the end of the year. Garrett said the additional appropriation might need to come from the general fund.

Polo fundraiser aims to help United Way of Central Indiana — IndyCar owner George Steinbrenner IV knows a thing or two about horsepower, but not the kind of horsepower generated at Hickory Hall Polo Club in Whitestown. Steinbrenner, along with NTT INDYCAR drivers James Hinchcliffe and Conor Daly and several retired Colts players, will raise money for United Way of Central Indiana on Aug. 12. The family-friendly event, dubbed Horsepower, will include tailgating and a polo match. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with the match beginning at 6 p.m. Organizers aim to raise $50,000. Tickets for Horsepower must be purchased in advance online. Tickets are $100 per car, and cover all occupants. Guests are encouraged to bring their own food, drinks, chairs and blankets. Participants can compete in a tailgate competition by purchasing a tailgate box for $400. Prizes will be given to tailgaters with the best theme spirit and most creative set up. The public can also bid on silent auction items on the event site. For more, visit e.givesmart.com/events/lvH/. Whitestown business owner gives back — Whitestown UPS store owner Don Barrett selected the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County to receive nearly $2,000 worth of books. The UPS store in Whitestown participates in the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. Donations made to the store are utilized to support literacy in the community. Thirty-eight boxes of books were delivered to the club’s Whitestown unit and will be distributed throughout the county.

Guerin golfer Pfefferkorn seeks fourth state appearance By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Guerin Catholic High School girls golf coach Mark Mathews expects senior Christina Pfefferkorn to have a successful senior season. But he wants her to enjoy herself along the way. “Christina continues to improve her game. Her driver and second shots are a strong part of her game. (Her) short game and putting are also a strong part of her overall game,” Guerin coach Mark Mathews said of Pfefferkorn. “Christina is self-motivated and a fierce competitor, and the fact that her sister (Angelica) is such a great player gives her extra motivation and inspiration to follow in her steps. My expectations for Christina’s senior year are to enjoy every minute with her team and play to the best of her ability. She can control both of those things and that will result in a great senior year.” Pfefferkorn, a Westfield resident, was the medalist and helped the Golden Eagles to victory in the first high school tournament of the year Aug. 3 with a 77 at Maple Creek Country Club in Indianapolis.

Christina Pfefferkorn holds the trophy after winning the Golf Week Junior Tour at Lexington, Ky. in March with a score of 74-80. (Photo courtesy of Pfefferkorn family).

“I struggled a little bit, but I brought it back together,” she said. She shot 70 to lead Guerin to the All-Catholic title at Pebble Brook in Noblesville. Pfefferkorn placed 10th in the IHSAA State Finals at Carmel Prairie View Golf Club in October 2020. She also competed in the state meet the previous two years, but 10th was her highest finish.

“My overall goal for the season is to place really well and make it to state,” she said. “Staying consistent with my swing will help me play really well.” Pfefferkorn tied for 33rd in the state tournament in 2019 and tied for 37th in 2018. Guerin was fifth as a team that year. “Since last season, I think I made the most improvement in my short game,” Pfefferkorn said. Pfefferkorn had some solid showings since the end of the 2020 high season. She said she is most proud about winning the IGA Indiana Jr. Age Championship 17 division title July 1-2 at Golf Club at Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth. She shot rounds of 71-73. Her sister Angelica Pfefferkorn is a 2020 Guerin Catholic graduate who is a sophomore golfer at Oklahoma State University. Angelica was eighth in the state in 2019. The sisters learned to play at the same time when Angelica was 6 and Christina was 4. “We’ve always pushed each other to practice more and play harder against each other,” Christina said. “I played a lot of sports when I was younger, but as I grew up, I focused more of my time on golf.”

Visitors to Mulberry Fields can download the free Magical Park app to interact and explore a new digital world while they explore the park. Users can herd kittens, run away from the bad fairy or come face to face with a giant T-Rex

while using their smartphone or tablet. The app encourages users to play, walk, run and be active outdoors. Those with limitations to play can use the “easy play” feature and walk. Two games allow those with vision impairment to play by means of sound. “We can’t reverse technology or progress, nor should we try,” Zionsville Director of Recreation Services Mindy Murdock stated. “What we can do is create healthy relationships with technology by using the screen to get kids outdoors and moving around. Using Augmented Reality is also an opportunity to reach the older kids in our community

and motivate them to get out and use our parks.” Magical Park is aimed for kids ages 6-11. The digital playground runs thorugh Oct. 31. Based on community feedback, the Zionsville Parks and Recreation Dept. will decide if Magical Park will return for all of 2022. In addition to the digital playground being open during normal park hours, the parks department will provide special activities and experiences during the three-month event to encourage kids and families to get out and play.

COMMUNITY ZIONSVILLE Project: North/South Connector CONSTRUCTION Location: The final element to begin on the project is the new, two-lane roundabout on Oak Street at C.R. 850 E., also known as Cooper Road. While Oak Street is planned to remain open to traffic throughout this phase, C.R. 850 E. will close south of the intersection for approximately 30 days during construction. This is due to the change in elevation; the roundabout will be higher than the crossstreet, so a temporary access cannot be provided. Expected completion: The closure dates have not been announced yet, but the project is expected to be complete this summer. Project: C.R. 500 S. widening Location: The project is similar to the C.R. 400 S. project in that it widens and resurfaces C.R. 500 S. from C.R. 875 E. to approximately 0.4 miles west. A full road closure is anticipated. Expected completion: Summer 2021 Project: Oak Street sewer/low pressure force main Location: The sewer will be on the north side of Oak Street and extend west of Cooper Road, traveling east to just west of Irish Hill. All residents along the side streets of Oak Street who are in the direct location of the sewer project are being considered for sewer, including residents as far west as 800 E. and as far east as 950 E. As a first step, the Wastewater Department assessed interest, asking residents in the area to complete a survey. The Town needs greater than 50 percent buy-in from the neighbors to run sewer down a street and all neighbors will be asked to contribute in the cost. However, residents will not be forced to connect. Expected completion: For the Oak Street sewer system, expected completion is mid-August. The project is currently under construction. For the low pressure force main system, construction will begin in 2022. Expected completion is summer 2022. Project: U.S. 421 and C.R. 550 Location: INDOT has started the intersection improvement project at U.S. 421 and C.R. 550 to add a traffic light at this intersection. The project could take a few months to complete. There will not be any closures but there may be lane restrictions at times with flaggers present. Expected completion: Late summer 2021.

COVER STORY

Current in Zionsville

Local muralist aims to promote artists and their work in central Indiana By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis-based muralist Koda Witsken, 28, created the Abraham Lincoln mural that overlooks Lincoln Park in Zionsville, and now she wants to continue her goal of spreading art in central Indiana with a new mural on U.S. 421 and an upcoming art event that aims to give local artists a new platform for their work. For her new mural, Witsken was commissioned by the Arts Council of Indianapolis which partnered with Jiffy Lube of Indiana to commission murals for Jiffy Lube locations in central Indiana. The program expands on the arts initiative started by Jiffy Lube in 2016, which placed murals on stores in Carmel and Broad Ripple. Jiffy Lube’s mission of “growing people through work” includes beautifying its stores’ corridors. “As a muralist, you apply to that program, and they only pick so many each year,” Witsken said. “I was lucky enough to be selected a couple of years ago, but the (COVID-19) pandemic happened, so they paused it.” Witsken’s mural, which is on the north side of the Jiffy Lube at 10390 N. Michigan Rd. in Carmel, near the Zionsville border, was again greenlit this summer. Witsken completed the mural in two weeks. “They said do whatever design you want as long as it’s positive and vibrant,” Witsken said. Witsken proposed a design she said celebrates “positivity and inclusiveness.” She was inspired by the events that occurred between the time she was selected and when she was allowed to resume work on the mural — namely, the pandemic and nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd. The mural design also was inspired by the people of Carmel. “Carmel is a whole melting pot of immigrants, doctors, Black, white, Hispanic, nonbinary (people),” Witsken said. “There’s so many types of people there, and not all of them yet have gotten to be represented in public art so far, so we wanted to put a wall up that had some of those people on it. You will see a beautiful Black woman on it, front and center, (and) a nonbinary yoga figure as well as just symbols of positivity and inclusiveness. You’ve got some rainbow colors, a sunflower that always faces toward the light and things

in a positive way, specifically through public art — that’s my main passion — then my life is happy.” For more, visit huemuralsbykoda.com. ON THE COVER: Koda Witsken pauses in front of her new mural. (Photo courtesy of Koda Witsken)

like that.” Besides continuing her efforts as a muralist, Witsken wants to lift up her fellow artists with a new event. On Labor Day, Hue Murals, a mural business Witsken started in 2018 that centers on her work, and local car dealership Indy Auto Man will host the inaugural Indy Arts Fest. Witsken wanted to start a festival that specifically celebrated local artists in central Indiana. The event aims to provide a new platform for local artists and small businesses by allowing them to showcase their talents. The festival will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 6 at Indy Auto Man’s new service building at 3130 Madison Ave. in Indianapolis. It will

center on the creation of six 8-foot by 12-foot murals painted live during the event by local artists Dan “Handskillz” Thompson; Israel Solomon; Alexandria Hall; Becky Hochhalter; the team of Lisa Sears and Hannah Johnson; and Zionsville resident Julie Davis Veach. General admission tickets are $10. VIP tickets are $100 and include parking with a mural backdrop, exclusive access to the event’s Party-Pods, a type of mobile bar, and two drink tickets. For tickets, visit indyartsfest. com. General admission tickets also will be available in person the day of the festival. “If you look at Indy artists and how they are paid, on average versus the U.S. population, No. 1, we actually have a lot more independent, self-employed artists per capita compared to most states,” Witsken said. “So, we have this well of creative talent we want to highlight, but that same talent is also paid less than half of the country’s average, so this festival was designed to give them as many fair-pay or retail opportunities as possible. They are getting paid up front. This isn’t just for exposure.” Besides live mural paintings, the festival will feature more than 50 artists, live graffiti, dozens of makers and artist vendors, live music throughout the day, food trucks and more. Witsken said art and festivals that celebrate it are important because it provides people with a way to connect. “You don’t need language,” Witsken said. “You don’t need to be in the same space. You don’t really have to understand anything about each other, other than human emotion. If I get to create and bring people together

Zionsville resident Julie Davis Veach, 44, has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Texas and a Master of Fine Arts from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, but not until recently was Veach her love for fine art rekindled. For 20 years, Davis Veach worked as a graphic designer, but after experiencing personal tribulations such as depression, she wanted to find a way to reconnect with her passion. She attended Alt Summit, a conference in Palm Springs, Calif., for creatives, in March 2020, just before the start of the pandemic, where she was reinspired to focus on fine art. Davis Veach started Julie Davis Veach Fine Art and Design, which showcases her work, including her Little Blessings painting series, in 2019, and she began painting live during Zionsville’s Night on the Bricks events last summer. Recently, she was chosen to be one of the muralists who will create a mural live at Indy Arts Fest. “It’s taken a while for me to connect with the creative community,” Davis Veach said. “Just being a mom with a young kid, you don’t have a lot of time to get out there and connect. This is me finally getting in alignment with what I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. (Indy Arts Fest) is a game-changer for me. It really does feel like it’s just the beginning for me.” For more, visit juliedavisveach.com.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Speaking out

Gambling it all goes well

Commentary by Terry Anker “To be or not to be,” or so said the bard. In his circa-1600 work “Hamlet,” William Shakespeare addressed the duality of suicide. The young prince is overwhelmed by the many challenges of the “modern” life yet was held back from his strong desire to flee it by an even stronger concern that the alternative might not be much better. Do we settle for the painful present or roll the dice hoping that we might find an improved, if unknown, future? Do we accept that well enough is well enough or do we risk the known downside for the hopeful upside? Happily, most of us don’t find ourselves as Danish princes lamenting the murder of our fathers and the rather unconventional replacement that mom had in mind for dad. Still, most of us, anyway, do carry our own share of unpleasantness. We endure, toil and hold our tongues. We tolerate that which delivers sometimes considerable sorrow knowing that a disruption of those challenges may bring us to an even worse place. Do we speak our minds, telling those who are hurting us because of their transgression? Or do we turn the other cheek? Again? And again? If we cry out, can we take it back? Is it really all that bad? Should we just keep our mouths shut and expect that it isn’t as difficult as we fear it might be? Even if we get our way, we cannot be entirely sure that getting what we want is going to improve our lives much, if at all. We humans have evolved to understand the value of our instincts. Fear helps to keep us safe. But if we never speak out, are we protecting ourselves from one threat only to expose ourselves to a more horrible, if longer-term, exposure?

LeCrone tackles role of Rolf Submitted by Beef & Boards editorial@youarecurrent.com As a young boy, Weston LeCrone saw a production of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” at Beef & Boards MUSICAL Dinner Theatre. The experience didn’t go as planned, and it changed his life forever. “The power went out in the middle of the show, so we had to come back and see it another day,” LeCrone said. “Despite the LeCrone mishap, it was one of my first and most memorable theater experiences and sparked my love for theater.” The Zionsville native’s first role took place shortly after, as Linus in “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” at Christian Youth Theater, when he was in fourth grade. He continued performing throughout his school years, participating in his middle school drama club, Summer Stock Stage, and Zionsville Community High School’s drama department before graduating in 2018. And 16 years after that performance of “Beauty and the Beast,” LeCrone is making his debut as Rolf in “The Sound of Music” at Beef & Boards. “It feels surreal to be working at the very establishment where I fell in love with live theater at such a young age,” he said. “It’s also cool to work with some of the adults that formed some of my earliest theater memories, like Doug King, who choreographed and directed at CYT, and Ron Morgan, who I met through Civic Theatre auditions. Lots of full-circle moments.” His career has already included multiple productions that deal with the time period of “The Sound of Music,” including “Bent” by Martin Sherman. “(It) centers around the persecution of gay men in Nazi Germany,” LeCrone said. “(It’s) super meaningful to me and deals with similar themes from ‘The Sound of Music’ in a different light.” His first professional production was “And Then They Came for Me” at Indiana

Repertory Theatre, in which he played a member of the Hitler Youth. LeCrone is working toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater with a minor in communications from Elon (N.C.) University. Like most students during the COVID-19 pandemic, he has found flexibility to be crucial. “I have learned how to adapt quickly and accept new challenges, all while balancing theater opportunities, academic work, a social life, family relationships and so forth,” he said. “One of the accomplishments I am most proud of was directing Elon’s Junior Music Theatre Cabaret this past semester in the midst of the pandemic. My entire class and I put together an

hour-long, entirely virtual cabaret consisting of songs, scenes and choreography. Everything was completely student-produced, directed, filmed and edited.” When he is not on stage, LeCrone is a part-time interpreter at the Indianapolis Zoo. “I have the opportunity to connect guests with wildlife through storytelling and multi-sensory experiences,” said LeCrone, who also has his own photography business. “The Sound of Music” is the featured family show for Beef & Board’s 2021 Season, with $10 discounts off tickets for children ages 3-15. The show concludes Aug. 15. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

The outdoor summer concert will feature Indiana artist Eric Pedigo as the opening act and national recording artist Chris Trapper as the headliner. Concerts for a Cause co-founder Bruce Kidd said Trapper was the front man for the popular pop/rock band, The Push Stars, from 1994 to 2004, and he has been a solo act for the past 15 years. He has recorded 12 albums and his songs have been featured in several movies and TV shows. Tickets are $100 and include food and all drinks that evening. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Central Indiana Police Foundation and used to equip police cars with lifesaving first-responder medical kits.

Art teacher paints canoe By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Darlene Patterson is usually a potter, but she took on an entirely different type of art project. PAINTING The Noblesville resident and Promise Road Elementary art teacher took part in a White River project painting a canoe for display at Conner Prairie in Fishers on the trail that leads to the White River. “This is awesome for me Patterson to be able to go out of my current comfort zone and do a project that I wouldn’t normally be spending my time doing,” said Patterson, who has a home studio for her pottery. “I loved doing the project that was a cross between a sculpture and a painting. It was super fun.” Her painted canoe represents the four seasons.

chor locations along the White River. Haley Cowart, education and outreach coordination with the White River Alliance, said the painted canoes are designed to bring attention to the river and some events going on. “The 10 locations were chosen from the White River Vision Plan,” Cowart said. Each of the canoes was painted by a different local artist from Marion County or Hamilton County. The canoes were installed in July and are on display through October, with five canoes in Marion County and five in Hamilton County. Patterson’s project took about six weeks from start to finish.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 4573 N. College Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Peruvian Chicken Bowl Price: $14.95 Anna’s take: Next Door American Eatery in south Broad Ripple recently reopened with a new brand and some exciting and delicious menu options. My favorite was the Peruvian Chicken Bowl, made with a rainbow of ingredients like chicken, rice, pickled chilis, pickled red onion, spiced mango, creamy avocado and cilantro.

Another incredible dish was the mussels ($16.95), a bowl full of meaty mussels steeped in Mexican lager, Cholula hot sauce, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. I loved the mussels, but the real winner was the broth, which I hope to make at home because it was so warm and comforting with a slight kick. I also loved the crispy halloumi naan ($11.95), a vegetarian dish with thick, fried halloumi cheese atop warm naan with tamarind chutney, cilantro chutney, sweet yogurt, curry aioli, mango, pickled red onion and a delightful herb salad. Another good vegetarian option for nonmeat eaters is the Szechuan chilled noodles ($13.95), a cool bowl of noodles, shiitake mushrooms, snap peas, sprouts, cucumbers and black vinegar sauce. The Szechuan chilled noodles were cool and refreshing, great for lunch on a summer day. I left Next Door American Eatery feeling full but healthy, not overstuffed and lethargic and in desperate need of a nap like after most of my reviews. It’s a great option for health-conscious folks as well as those who want vegetarian or gluten-free options. The Peruvian Chicken Bowl is created with a rainbow of ingredients.

BE COOL! Our professional techs work hard to be sure you’re cool all summer long!

Behind bars: BAP Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 2 oz. pumpkin vodka, .75 oz. aquafaba, .5 oz. simple syrup, 2 dashes chocolate bitters, 1 bar spoon coconut cream, grated nutmeg. Directions: Dry shake the ingredients, then wet shake and double strain up in a chilled couple glass. Garnish with grated nutmeg.

Where’s Amy went backstage for the July 29 opening night of Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program production of “Saturday Night Fever,” a musical version. It was amazing to be back in The Tarkington with a sold-out crowd and see the young, talented actors shine. The cast and crew dazzled with their singing, dancing, sets and lighting and glittering, groovy costumes. It was fun to see director and choreographer Anne Beck and her husband Scott also in the show, who both starred in the original Broadway company. Don’t miss Civic Theatre’s next show, “The Color Purple,” Oct. 8 to Oct. 23. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Fresh curb appeal in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 1997 home is in Carmel’s Bayhill neighborhood. The owners wanted to update the exterior with fresh, modern finishes to increase curb appeal.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The front door, sidelights and transom windows were all updated, as was the door hardware and exterior light fixtures. • The decorative corbels were removed, and the columns were updated with decorative trim. • The sidewalk and porch were resurfaced with a concreate overlay. • Rough-sawn cedar trim was added above the front window and the garage doors. • The home got a fresh coat of paint to complete this gorgeous transformation.

Indiana’s ‘Grand Central Station’ Commentary by Don Knebel One of Indiana’s earliest National Historic Landmarks, a house in Fountain City, is not important for its architecture, TRAVEL but for its 19th-century owners. Because the 1793 Fugitive Slave Act authorized owners of enslaved people essentially to kidnap ones who escaped bondage, even in states outlawing slavery, abolitionists organized a network to assist individuals seeking freedom to travel as far as Canada to avoid capture. In 1813, 15-year-old Levi Coffin, a Quaker, began supporting this “Underground Railroad” in North Carolina. In 1826, he moved to Newport (now Fountain City), a Quaker community, where he established a successful business and hid freedom seekers in his home until they continued their journeys north. In 1839, Coffin and his wife Catherine built an eight-room Federal-style brick house along a major north/south highway passing through Newport. The house featured a basement kitchen and a basement well, making it harder to detect Mrs. Coffin feeding extra people inside. Because of their own anti-slavery sentiments, Newport residents alerted the Coffins to bounty hunters so they could hide the freedom seekers. Their house became the “Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad,” and Levi Coffin was dubbed the “President of the Underground Railroad.” During the 20 years the Coffins lived in Newport before moving to Ohio, they assisted about 2,000 freedom seekers, all of whom made it to freedom. The Levi & Catherine Coffin House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The state of Indiana purchased the property in 1967 and opened the beautifully restored house, displaying a color portrait of Coffin, in 1970. An interpretive center, opened in 2016, provides information about

the Coffins, their house and the Underground Railroad. Guided tours, available at indianamuseum.org/historic-sites/levi-catharine-coffin-house/, take visitors to secret passages where freedom seekers hid when necessary and to a replica of wagons they traveled in, concealed under grain bags.
