Maintenance is key to keeping Westfield streets in shape
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
For Westfield residents wondering when their streets are slated for repairs, the answer is in the science.
ROADS
Westfield City Engineer Michael Pearce delivered an asset management presentation to the Westfield City Council last month on the condition of Westfield’s 302 centerline-miles of road.
Pearce said the city has added an additional average of 11.8 miles each year for the past seven years. He said while overall infrastructure is good, road conditions can change quickly, requiring the city to keep up with maintenance and road preservation projects.
Roads are rated using the Pavement Condition Index — a road-rating calculation on a scale of zero to 100 first developed by the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers for runway maintenance and later adapted for roadway rating by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
Pearce said the average PCI in Westfield is 71.9. Roads are evaluated every other year and given new ratings.
Pearce said the PCI helps save money in the long run by identifying problems before they become too big. While the cost of preservative treatment is about $20,000 per mile, full reconstruction averages more than $925,000 per mile.
“The overarching idea is that we keep our good roads in good condition while also treating our roads that are in a worse condition and bringing those up to a good condition,” he said. “You’re paying much less to do the preventative maintenance than you are to do a full resurfacing or reconstruction. (The) idea is similar to a car or a house — you want to do oil changes,
you want to rotate your tires, you want to do those sorts of things rather than wait until your engine blows.”
The city has contracted with StreetScan — a roadway monitoring service — since 2022 to provide the PCI report.
“They use a camera mounted on the back of a car,” Pearce said. “They drive every street in our city. They record defects in the road like potholes, block cracking, rutting, just general defects in the pavement. All of those are then put into their system and the formula spits out a number that’s between zero and 100 based on those defects. And then there’s an interface that is provided to us (that) keeps track of all this information and allows us to do some budgeting.”
Once the city’s streets are scanned and mapped, the system provides maintenance recommendations. Final maintenance decisions are made with the assistance of those recommendations combined with other factors to make repairs more cost-effective, such as planning maintenance on roads in close proximity so those

Fit and Fun Walks in Westfield — The Westfield Department of Parks and Recreation will launch a new series, Fit and Fun Walks, on Fridays this month. The series includes a 2-mile, easy to moderate walk along the Midland Trace Trail. Along the way, participants will enjoy the fresh air, learn about the past and future of Westfield and visit the new Simon Moon Park expansion. All ages are welcome and leashed dogs are allowed. The program is free to attend. Walks begin at 10 a.m. at Grand Junction Plaza March 7, 14, 21 and 28. Register at westfieldin.gov/231/Programming.
projects can be grouped into a single contract.
Total resurfacing decisions are made on a variety of factors. Besides a lower PCI score — below 55 for local roads and below 65 for arterial streets — work is based on age; traffic considerations; pavement type; and the costs/effects of deferring maintenance.
The city’s resurfacing budget for 2025 is $3.3 million.
“We’re fortunate that this year we were able to get $1.5 million from Community Crossings through INDOT, which is a grant we apply for every year,” Pearce said. “Historically, that’s been only $1 million. They upped it just for this one year. We’re hoping that continues but we will see. That is a matching grant.”
Pearce said the streets department will spend an estimated $210,000 on crack filling; $400,000 on striping; $150,000 on preservative seal; and $150,000 on concrete patching in 2025. Final decisions on which roads will be addressed for maintenance are expected this spring.

Westfield celebrates Disability Awareness Month
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
Westfield Mayor Scott Willis issued a proclamation Feb. 24 declaring the month of March as Disability Awareness Month. The proclamation was presented to Westfield Mayor’s Council on Disabilities chair Nicole Southerland and member Bridget Lueken.
INCLUSION
The council is part of the city’s broad initiative to promote inclusivity and accessibility in Westfield.
“We represent the needs and interests of people with disabilities in the city of Westfield and provide a platform for the disability community (to) address the various challenges and needs facing people with disabilities within Westfield,” Southerland said.
The council collaborates with local organizations, businesses and disability stakeholders to establish partnerships that increase opportunities for people with disabilities.

“The community impact that we’re hoping to have is on infrastructure, workforce development, community engagement, accessibility and public safety,” Leuken said. “The main focus is really attracting and retaining new residents to the city.”
Willis said he will work during the year with the city council on codification of the disability council. He said codifying the council would formalize the council and create an ongoing disability awareness effort that spans from one administration to the next.

Indy Auto Man breaks ground
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
A local auto dealership that got its start in Westfield is returning to its northside roots.
GROUNDBREAKING
Indy Auto Man in Indianapolis broke ground last month on its new Westfield location, 17230 Foundation Pkwy. The used auto dealership buys, sells, finances and services vehicles.
Owners Victor Figlin and Eugene Gorin started the business in Hamilton County 17 years ago.
“Our first dealership was in Westfield in 2008,” Figlin said. “Then we moved to Carmel, and from Carmel we moved to the south side of Indianapolis. But we noticed that a lot of customers from the north side dropped off when we moved to the south side, so it was always on our mind to open a dealership on the north side. We just got an opportunity to open a dealership in Westfield.”
Figlin said the Westfield location will house sales and service under one roof.
“So, when we sell a car we can introduce the customers to the service providers, so they will know where to come to get their oil change, their tires, all their maintenance,” he said. “We’re so close to neighborhoods that I can’t imagine how convenient it will be to people to drive one minute and leave the car for service (and) not have to be in the service department for hours.”
Figlin, who moved to Indiana from Ukraine 28 years ago, said the dealership was founded almost by mistake. He said his partner purchased a vehicle for himself but quickly changed his mind about the purchase. He sold the car — then repeated
the process a few times — and ended up turning a profit.
The pair teamed to create the business by starting with a few cheap, reliable vehicles and fixing them up and reselling them.
“Our whole purpose was to buy vehicles that we would buy for our families,” he said.
The pair eventually secured their dealer license and opened the original Indy Auto Man in Westfield. They moved around as the business demanded a larger footprint but are now ready to open a second location back in Westfield.
“It’s exciting to build something completely brand new, exactly what you need,” Figlin said. “We started moving dirt and we will be putting in the concrete in the next months. Everyone is excited to see how it builds up.”
The Westfield location is scheduled to open later this year or early 2026.
Indy Auto Man has more than 300 vehicles available online and on-site. Learn more at indyautoman.com.

Westfield City Council approves Grand Universe PUD
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
The Westfield City Council recently approved the Grand Universe planned unit development on 66 acres between 191st and 186th streets. It’s the first step in a multiyear project to bring a state-of-the-art space and science campus to Westfield.
DEVELOPMENT
Andi Metzel, partner with Taft law firm of Indianapolis representing Grand Universe, said the development complements Westfield’s effort to develop a “play-andstay” campus at neighboring Grand Park.
“We have people who are exercising their bodies (at Grand Park), it would be wonderful if they came over to Grand Universe and exercised their minds,” Metzel said.
The PUD includes a science center and observatory; a hotel and conference center; parking; a sports entertainment area; retail development; and approximately 2 million square feet of residential development.
Metzel responded to a handful of com-

ments received by Grand Universe on the nature of the residential development.
“There are some comments that we have received about apartment-type develop-
ment, and I want to be very clear — there is no place in the PUD that says apartment development,” she said. “That is not what is intended here. This is mixed-use development and what is defined in the PUD is general business and multifamily, but it is a component of both of those things. So, it would include (first-floor retail) mixed in with some multifamily, but it is in no way, shape or form intended for a large portion of this property to be apartments.”
Councilor Noah Herron expressed concerns with some of the residential aspects of the site. Herron said he would prefer to have set limits for residential use and see the Grand Universe science center built before residential uses are considered. Councilors Chad Huff and Joe Duepner echoed concerns about residential development.
“I love the project, and I wish you guys would just come to us with Grand Universe and the hotel,” Herron said.
Westfield Director of Economic Development Jenell Fairman said the city is working with the developer on making the space and science center the first priority for development. Fairman said the devel-
opment will be parceled into four phases, making sure each phase is completed before the next phase begins. Mayor Scott Willis said the development agreement — separate from the PUD — would require the space and science center to be built before residential development can begin.
Metzel said the development represents an ever-changing Westifled. She said the exhibits and renderings of buildings, green spaces, streetscaping and the science center are intentional and achievable recommendations from Grand Universe Development Partners, LLC, the project developers, and Browning Day, the site architect.
“It is time for (the property) to evolve and become something that is contributing to this community as opposed to something that we are just dreaming about in this community,” she said.
Features of Grand Universe would include a mission control center; a planetarium; an education center in partnership with Purdue University; and an observatory.
The council approved the PUD unanimously.

Carmel High School wrestler pins runner-up medal at state finals
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School wrestling coach Ed Pendoski compared senior Michael Major’s season to a snowball gaining momentum rolling downhill.
Major was getting back in shape after he injured his right shoulder in December 2023. He dislocated his shoulder and had labrum surgery.
“He was getting back in and starting to grind again. There were a bunch of speed bumps as he was going through the season,” Pendoski said. “He got it together. In December, he hit his stride and just had fun through the season. Michael did an amazing job of trusting progress, meaning there are days we have to go hard and days that are short, (so) we have to go even harder.”
Major finished with a 43-5 record, losing to Merrillville’s unbeaten Adrian Pellot in a 9-6 decision in the 165-pound championship match Feb. 22 at the IHSAA state finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Major edged Bloomington South’s Evan Roudebush 2-0 in the semifinals.

“The conversation with Michael after the championship match defined who he is,” Pendoski said. “I asked him how he feels. He said, ‘I’m happy. I wrestled hard. I didn’t win but I’m happy how the whole experience went.’ Carmel is such a competitive place. To watch a kid say that after he just lost in the finals, what a great example of wisdom. I might have learned from him after this and I’m the one (who’s)
supposed to be giving examples.”

Major said the season was an awesome experience.
“There were a lot of ups and a little down (results),” he said. “When I looked at my goals for this season, it was how I do it rather than a goal of, ‘I had to win this match.’ I looked at it like that and trusted the process through all the wrestling practices with my teammates and coaches. The culture in the Carmel wrestling room got me prepared for both days (of the finals). Win or lose, I just wanted to leave it all
out there and have fun. After the match, I thought of that. I did have a lot of fun and I felt like I left all I could out there.”
Major said it was hard not practicing after the injury as a junior.
“I worked on other stuff,” he said. “I was able to weightlift with other areas of my body. I just trusted things would work out. I was able to drill at 80 percent during the summer, and by the end of the summer, I was 100 percent.”
Major’s older brother, Robert, was second in the state finals at 160 pounds as a senior in 2021 and wrestles at Indiana University.
Major, who is still deciding where he wants to wrestle next season, lost in the first round at 132 pounds in the 2022 state finals. He placed fifth at 138 pounds in the state finals in 2023. He was wrestling at 150 pounds when he got injured last season. He finished his high school career with an 83-13 record.
“I felt really good and healthy at 165,” he said. “It wasn’t too little or too much.”

Westfield Ambulatory Surgery Center features cutting-edge technology
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
A state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center has opened in Westfield. Westfield Ambulatory Surgery Center, 17300 Westfield Blvd. next to Westfield Washington Public Library, held an open house last month, introducing residents and local health care providers to the facility’s services.
The center offers surgical, diagnostic, wound and specialty care. Outpatient services include surgery across various specialties including general surgery and cardiac care; wound care; diagnostic services, imagining and laboratory services; and primary care. High-tech offerings include a da Vinci Surgical Systems robot and Varipulse Platform technology for treating atrial fibrillation.
Dr. Chad Bonhomme is a cardiac electrophysiologist and president of the Westfield Physician Holdings physicians group. He said the new surgery site centralizes options for Hamilton County residents who require specialty care.
“I’m a heart rhythm doctor, so that’s what I do — just fix the electrical system of the heart,” he said. “A lot of the work that we do nowadays is on a same-day basis. From an efficiency standpoint and an access standpoint, it’s much improved by being able to do it in a facility that’s specifically designed for that. And that is really the genesis of ambulatory surgery centers. It makes it a lot easier for patients, and the system itself is more efficient.”
Bonhomme said although some surgical care must be done in hospitals — particularly care that requires additional monitoring or overnight stays — surgery centers make sense for many cases. Although it’s a benefit for patients, it’s also a benefit for providers.
“It’s all designed to be for same-day surgery,” he said. “We’re trying to meet a couple of needs. One is that need or desire to have a more personalized experience, as well as to do it on an ambulatory basis and to provide access. Because the industry itself is moving in that direction — looking for places to innovate their offerings or improve their products. And it’s hard for them to do that in some of the larger hospital
systems just because of the inefficiencies, let’s say, of the bureaucracy. But to be able to do that in a surgery center where the decision-making is much more local and fast is actually ideal.”
Bonhomme said besides services, the center will focus on making advancements in medical technology available to more people.
Ambulatory Surgery Center offers outpatient surgery across a variety of specialties.
“Before any patient would have had skepticism, the physicians themselves had skepticism,” he said. “Studies have been done, data has been collected, and that data has been formally presented to the federal government and other regulatory bodies by the Heart Rhythm Society, the American College of Cardiology, (the) Society for Coronary Angiography and Intervention, and the Heart Failure Society of America. All of this data actually shows that the complications are equivalent or even better than it is in a traditional hospital.”
“Part of our goal is to become an innovation center,” he said. “We’d like to be a proving ground for the new med-tech that’s coming onto the market.”
For those who may be skeptical about same-day procedures — particularly cardiac procedures — outside the walls of the hospital, Bonhomme said it also was a learning curve for physicians.
PROVIDING ACCESS TO PATIENTS
Besides high-tech equipment such as da Vinci Surgical Systems robot and Varipulse Platform technology for treating atrial fibrillation, Westfield Ambulatory Surgery Center plans to empower its patients with information.
“A lot of what we do is symptom-driven, and I think that the biggest barrier is access,” Westfield Physician Holdings physicians group president Dr. Chad Bonhomme said. “That access exists on a few levels. One is just getting in to see a doctor can be difficult. And then if you do get in to see a doctor, a lot of the initial visit or maybe a subsequent visit is data collection.”
Bonhomme said patients who take a proactive approach to their health — like tracking their own data such as blood pressure or glucose readings — can expedite the process of getting a diagnosis.
“From a heart rhythm standpoint, I
think that a lot of people just still don’t know what the offering is out there,” he said. “It’s still common for me to see a patient, and they never even knew that there was an electrical specialist for the heart. They’d never heard of such a thing. In the grand scheme of things, there aren’t a lot of electricians for the heart, so some people don’t even know that the option exists. I think the only thing that we can really do about that is do a great job for people.”
Bonhomme said one of the best ways to educate the public is word of mouth.
“If somebody has seen an electrical heart doctor and has fixed their heart rhythm and they feel better, then they tell their friend and they tell their neighbor,” he said. That’s how it’s best grown — organically.”
Learn more at westfieldasc.com.
Bonhomme said while there are procedures that are not appropriate for a surgery center, the data shows surgery centers are a safe alternative. He said the health care industry was able to collect data throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, when patients were often referred to surgery centers for same-day care rather than admitted to hospitals.
“That data ended up, again, being just as good or better than what was happening in the hospital,” he said.
Bonhomme said his message for Westfield and Hamilton County residents is that the new surgery center is there for their needs. He said central Indiana is known internationally as a biomedical engineering corridor.
“We are, number one, going to take great care of them and they’re going to have a good outcome,” he said. “But secondly, we are positioned to be an innovation center and have a lot of companies, not just from the U.S., but even outside the U.S., who recognize what we’re doing, recognize what is happening in Indianapolis. (The) region is recognized as a center for medtech innovation and we’re going to be a center that implements that innovation and helps these companies improve their products. That’s what is important to the physicians here, is to really be always on the forefront.”

Crate Escapes opens
Crate Escapes Dog Park + Bar, an indoor/ outdoor dog park with food, drink and events for dogs and their human companions, recently opened in Westfield with assistance from an SBA 504 small-business loan.
The business opened on 3 acres at 18595 Carousel Lande next to Grand Park.
“We are Indiana’s first and only dog bar; an off-leash, indoor/outdoor dog park with a bar and event space for humans,” CEO and co-owner Megan Schaffer stated. “We offer drop-off services, a 20-tap self-pour beer and wine wall, cafe, dog bathing stations and our dining room will be open soon.”
The business was able to open its doors with help from the U.S. Small Business Administration 504 program from The Farmers Bank and Indiana Statewide Certified Development Corporation.
“Finding a facility that fit our needs was difficult, and building from scratch in Grand Park proved to be the best option,” Schaffer stated. “The 504 loan gave us a lower
down payment to purchase the land and build the building suited perfectly for us.”
Indiana Statewide CDC works with local Indiana lenders to issue SBA 504 loans to help small-business owners buy real estate, buildings and equipment. The loans can give small business owners long-term, fixed-rate financing priced below conventional loans.
Crate Escapes has 38 employees and hosts events including live music; breed meetups; trivia, clubs; classes; and upcoming events “Mardi-Paws” this month and “Puppy Prom” in April.

• Consistent, Premium Quality
DF-2000 Fluid is manufactured and packaged to high standards of consistency and purity to deliver the same high-quality performance time after time. DF-2000 Fluid remains stable through multiple distillation and reclamation cycles.
• Virtually Odorless
•
Solvents with a higher level of aromatics contain more solvent odor. DF-2000 Fluid has the lowest aromatic content of any HFHC drycleaning solvent.
• Gentle on Dyes, Safer on Trims
The gentle cleaning action of DF-2000 Fluid is safer for most dyes and trims, so you can rely on it to safely clean a wider range of fancy and fragile articles with less risk of dye bleeding.
• Cost Effective
There are no usage, franchise or royalty fees required. In states where a solvent usage tax has been imposed, DF-2000 Fluid is either exempt or the usage tax per gallon is minimal. When coupled with effective processes and additives, labor and production costs are reasonable.

Comfort in a digital world
Commentary by Dr. Hannah Wilson
With our world being largely digital these days, we spend more time on devices than ever before. Aside from developmental and behavioral implications, prolonged screen use can have a profound impact on the visual system.
VISION
Digital devices force our eyes to work harder, making us susceptible to eye fatigue. Symptoms of screen-related vision issues include eye strain, blurred vision and headaches. A multitude of factors, such as viewing angle, poor lighting, glare and uncorrected refractive error all contribute to our discomfort. Fortunately, simple steps can be taken to prevent visual symptoms before they appear.
Perhaps the easiest change to implement is to take routine breaks. Our eyes tire with extended periods of near viewing. Affording the visual system brief periods to relax and refocus can work wonders for minimizing ocular discomfort. Consider adhering to the 20/20/20 Rule. For every 20 minutes of screen use, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
FRAME OF THE MONTH:
Designed in coastal California, SALT. is a premium eyewear brand dedicated to timeless style and effortless beauty. Committed to quality construction, each SALT. frame goes through a 130 step process to produce durable eyewear, which stands up to the rigors of a life well-lived.
Tweaks to your workspace can further decrease your risk for eye strain. For most comfortable viewing, the height of your screen should be at or slightly below eye level, and your screen should be positioned to avoid glare from overhead lights or windows. If you wear glasses, they should be made with an anti-reflective coating that offers blue light protection. Moreover, illumination of the screen should match that of the room.
ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Equipment makers have more experience with DF-2000 Fluid than any other alternative solvent. Modern filtration, distillation, solvent recovery, water separation and safety technologies are refined and well developed to give you reliable, trouble-free operation.
• Proven Additive Technologies Detergent and fabric finish additives are essential to provide important enhancements to cleaning performance in any drycleaning system.
Last but certainly not least, make sure to visit your optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam annually. Uncorrected conditions like farsightedness, astigmatism, inadequate eye teaming and aging changes within the eyes can all contribute to the development of visual symptoms when using a digital device.
Just because your screen time has increased does not mean your eyes have to suffer. Follow the steps above to keep your eyes comfortable and strain-free!

Does anybody really know what time it is?
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
“What time is it?” I asked my wife Mary Ellen.
HUMOR
“It’s exactly five o’clock,” she replied as she glanced at the grandfather clock (Grandpa, from now on) in our living room.
“It can’t be, Mary Ellen. It was precisely five o’clock 20 minutes ago. Come to think of it, it’s been 5 all day. Isn’t it only supposed to be five o’clock twice a day? I do like it, though, because whenever I look at the clock, it’s time for an aperitif.”
Our favorite antique had ceased to function. Grandpa was a fixture in our home with a long history in Mary Ellen’s family. Just to annoy my wife, I suggested getting rid of Grandpa. Understandably, this made her angry.
“Get rid of it? Get rid of it? This is a family heirloom, hundreds of years old. It’s timeless,” she said.
“I know it’s timeless. That’s the problem.” We finally found a repairman to come to our house who was very knowledgeable about the history of the antique, informing us it was over a 100 years old and of
German origin. I wondered if I could fix it myself with a little intimidation. I tried my best German accent, “If you don’t start verking, vee can make you tock.”
The repair was successful. We were delighted that Grandpa was back in working order. Not only was he keeping time, but his chiming ability had been restored. Recently, he hadn’t been celebrating each hour with a tuneful outburst but simply ticked away. Mary Ellen and I were eager to hear him and see if his dinging and donging would awaken us at night.
The repairman left at 4:20 p.m., so we had to wait until 5 to see if the old guy was really operating. It was like waiting for a pot to boil: 4:55, 4:56, 4:57, 4:58, 4:59, 5:00, 5:01, 5:02, 5:03 … nothing. Mary Ellen wanted to wait a little longer. Grandpa was over 100 years old. He deserved a little time to get up to speed. Ironically, for most of his life, he was fast.
“I’m not sitting here another hour,” I said. But, of course, I did.
At 6 p.m., he chimed, but he didn’t at 7. At 8, he was right on target. Not at 9. So, we figured that he only chimed at odd hours, which seemed, well, very odd. The next day,
READERS’ VIEWS
Drivers need to follow rules of the road
Editor,
Each day, I walk about 3 to 4 miles in the Countryside subdivision or on the various trails around Westfield. I regularly drive 161st Street, Spring Mill Road, Oak Ridge Road, 186th Street and other roads in the Westfield /Carmel area. The following observations do not involve driving on our highways and interstates.
This is what I have observed. Please note these observations are commonplace, otherwise I would not be writing this letter. Drivers see speed limits as optional. Even in residential areas, drivers rarely obey speed limits. This includes Westfield bus drivers and individuals driving city vehicles. Many drivers see stop signs as optional. Four-way stop signs are the exception. Stop signs are either ignored or seen as yield signs. This occurs at any time of the day. Per Indiana law, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at any marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
And if they have a stop sign, they must stop and yield to the pedestrian. Even though they are required to let me cross, most drivers ignore my presence and keep on driving.
Is this a policing problem? No! This is an entitlement problem. Per their behavior, it is clear, many drivers believe they are entitled to choose which traffic laws to obey and when to obey them. The probability that these drivers will be held responsible for disobeying the law is slim to none because we are not a police state.
Per my opinion, the problem exists because so many people believe they are above the law. Until we experience a societal change in how people perceive our laws, this situation will continue and probably get worse. Furthermore, my right and your right to be safe in our neighborhoods and streets is being ignored.

he chimed at 9 p.m. again but only 8 times. Should we believe the clock or the number of chimes? The following day, he dinged whenever he wanted: 5, 5:50, 6:45 and 11:20. At noon, he chimed. We threw our hands up, just like Grandpa.
Now, a week later, for reasons we will never understand, Grandpa is functioning perfectly with a melodious sound right on the hour with the proper number of chimes. How long will this good fortune last?
Time will tell.

CHS junior set for five-song release party
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School junior Tege Holt’s mission came into focus when he started working with Blair Clark’s Artist Development Co.
“We found what my brand was and where we went from that,” Holt said. “We’ve come a long way from where I was last year playing a bunch of smaller (solo) shows. Now this year, we’re booking all band gigs.”
Holt and his band will debut five original songs on a new EP at 7 p.m. March 20 at an official release party at The Tarkington at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The first single, “Play the Part,” will drop March 21.
“Tege has played as a solo artist and written great songs, and we were really looking to take him to the next level,” said Clark, who opened his new Artist Development Studio in Carmel last fall.
Clark has a connection with musicians from John Mellencamp’s band. They played five songs at The Vogue in July 2024 with three cover songs and two original songs by Holt.
“The band members were impressed with his maturity, his playing ability, his vocals and songwriting,” Clark said.
Clark said Holt then started writing more songs ahead of the recording session in Nashville, Tenn.
“He’s got a phenomenal gift of being able to write songs and tell stories,” Clark said.
Clark and Holt worked with producer Michael Whitaker on the project. They recorded in October 2024 at The Speakeasy Recording Studio and Velvet Cinema Studio with engineer Elliott Didur. Joining Holt were Chris Condon, lead guitar; Dan Needham, drums; James Gregory, bass; Carl Miner, acoustic guitar; and Whittaker, piano, B3 organ.
“Chris Conlon has played with Jason Aldean and Billy Ray Cyrus,” Holt said. “Carl Miner played with Luke Combs.”
Clark said it’s the second time he’s managed a country artist. Besides cre-
ative and musical ability, Clark said Holt has a lot of knowledge about technology and marketing.
“These days you have to be as much a marketer as a musician,” Clark said.
An example of that is his “Play the Part” single.
“The first song is about me moving from the country to the city and just a fun song about that,” Holt said. “It mentions jam that I used to make with my grandma. We have jam that is commercially made. If people wear my merch to the show, they will get a free jam.”
Holt has three songs out on steaming sites. He released “Irish Found” in March 2024, which led to an appearance on a South Bend TV station.
“I would guess at this time next year he will be playing in other states and
maybe other countries,” Clark said. “He’s got that kind of power and got that kind of energy.”
Holt, who turns 18 in May, plans to graduate early in December.
“I plan to go full force into music and see how far we go with it from there. The sky’s the limit,” he said.
Clark said Holt has a passion for music and writing songs.
“I wrote my first song when I was 5. It probably wasn’t a great song,” he said. “The first song I released was when I was in sixth grade and that call was ‘Reason to Believe.’”
Holt said the song is no longer on streaming sites but he has made a country version of it.

SPRING SESSION
This spring, we are offering themed 6-week sessions for students grades 1-8. Each session will focus on developing creative skills while using songs and other materials related to the theme.
Ozzy Heath seemed a natural for the role of Christopher in Civic Theatre’s production of “The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time.”
PLAY
After all, Heath had already portrayed Christopher in Lebanon High School’s production in 2023. The Civic Theatre presentation runs March 14 to March 29 at the Studio Theater at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“(The high school show) was the first time I ever got to play a big part, so I kind of want to do that show again,” Heath said.
Heath plays a math genius who might be on the autism spectrum, although it is not stated.
“I don’t think I could change (the portrayal) a lot even if I wanted to,” Heath said. “There are some aspects of the character that I formed two years ago that will carry over.”
and knowledgeable about the subject,” Heath said. “I love how the play doesn’t take itself like 100 percent serious all the time. That’s my favorite part about it. There are jokes sprinkled throughout that I think are very funny.”
The story begins with Christopher seeking to find who killed his neighbor’s dog.
Director Jay Hemphill said the plot is about many things.
“It’s a coming-of-age story,” he said. “it’s an adventure. It’s a murder mystery. It’s a dramedy, but what it comes (down) to, it’s a story about just being different and how society deals or does not deal with that.”
Heath said he didn’t want to play a caricature of someone on the spectrum.
“You definitely want to remain sensitive
The play contains profanity, animal cruelty and adult themes. For more, visit civictheatre.org.
Student pieces in Mixed Rep
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Anna Beringer won’t see the choreography she created for Mixed Rep in person.
DANCE
Beringer, a former Central Indiana Dance Ensemble member, is a senior at Brenau University in Gainesville, Ga. She is eager to see a video of the finished product.
Central Indiana Dance Ensemble’s Mixed Rep is set for 4 p.m. March 9 at The Tarkington at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
The 2021 Carmel High School graduate worked on the five-minute piece in June 2024 and then again during winter break. The piece is called “La Ballet Rose.”
to put together because she has never created one in two weeks.
“It helped me grow as a choreographer,” she said.
The two other pieces choreographed by students are by Maddie Neff and Audrey Robbins. Neff, who graduated from Westfield High School early in November 2024, said she enjoyed creating the piece.
“I made a full ballet piece about having fun on stage and feeling pretty,” Beringer said. “It’s precise footwork and beautiful little arm movements.”
Beringer said the piece was challenging
“It was really interesting being at the front of the room choreographing on my peers instead of being in the piece with them,” Neff said. “I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to choreograph a piece, and I can’t wait to see it performed at Mixed Rep.” Robbins’ piece is an en pointe waltz.
“I have loved working with the girls in my dance,” said Robbins, a Carmel resident who is a homeschooled junior. “They have made choreographing this piece so much fun and I love them all so much.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Elevated Indianapolis kitchen makeover
Commentary by Larry Greene
The owners of this 1994 builder-grade kitchen in northside Indianapolis’ Bolander Woods neighborhood loved its natural brightness but dreamed of a more polished, contemporary look. With updates like a custom hood, expanded island and clever storage solutions, we brought their vision to life, blending modern glamor with everyday practicality.
THE BLUEPRINT
• A striking custom-designed range hood takes center stage, combining elegance and functionality to anchor the space.
• The backsplash adds character and flair, seamlessly tying in gold accents with the range hood and fixtures.
• The new sink includes smart inserts — such as a cutting board, bins, strainer and dish rack — that slide into designated slots, making meal prep and cleanup effortless.
• Custom cabinet features, like a built-in mixer lift, spice drawers and a cutlery organizer, enhance storage and efficiency.
• By reshaping the island, we added seating and expanded countertop space, creating a more practical and inviting layout for cooking and hosting.
