BOOTH TARKINGTON CIVIC THEATRE TO FEATURE “MAMMA MIA!” & “ELF” season is one that is well known.

Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

“Fans of the music of ABBA will adore Mamma Mia!,” Hook says. “Elf the Musical is based on the movie, and it’s a holiday favorite. A talented pool of local actors will work with professional dialect coaches and scholars of Shakespeare to also bring the hilarious comedy, “Much Ado About Nothing" (Feb. 7-22), to the stage.

Melissa Hook, Marketing & Events Manager, Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre, says the theatre will be having a full slate of exciting shows for the next several months. The theatre’s entertaining shows include excellent productions of both “Mamma Mia!” (Oct. 4-Oct. 19) and “Elf ” (Dec. 6-Dec. 28.)

“For A Few Good Men (March 13-28), we take the performance to the Studio Theater, a smaller black-box space that will provide intimacy and intensity that the material calls for. And, we will also be doing Roald Dahl’s classic book, Matilda (April 24-May 9), a stage musical that’s full of fun, a little magic, and one that also sends a powerful message.”

“Audiences will see local industry talent, breathtaking scenery, a professional staff, a live orchestra and the highest quality of performances,” Hook says. “Many of our sets are from the National Touring companies of these hit shows. Others are designed by our resident scenic and technical director, Ryan Koharchik, and his team.” Hook adds that every title in the 2019-2020

Hook adds that the Civic Theatre is fun for the whole family.

“Civic is absolutely an all-ages (or most ages) theatre,” Hook says. “We welcome families and student groups to come to our productions. “Mamma Mia!” has adult content and (the play) A Few Good Men does as well, though it’s more educational. Elf the Musical is, of course, going to be a perfect show for the holidays that the entire family will enjoy.” The Civic Theatre is also located near a lot of other fun Christmas activities. “During the holidays, the Carmel Christmas Market will be happening right outside our front door,” Hook says. “It’s a great idea to come walk around the market and come see a show at Civic for a family holiday outing. Much Ado Nothing and Roald Dahl’s Matalida the Musical are also perfect for an outing with the family. We will offer student matinees for “Much Ado About Nothing” and “A Few Good Men” for middle and high school students as well.”

6 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2019 / WestfieldMag.com

LOCAL CASTS FEATURED The roles in “Mamma Mia!” and “Elf " have already been cast with many Hamilton County residents. For Mama Mia!, Anne Beck from Fishers, is the director. “She is our Young Artists Program (YAP) coordinator and directs and choreographs many shows at Civic each season,” Hook says. Cast members Nate Schlabach and Ethan Mathias are from Fishers, while Matthew Altman, Julia Ammons, Laura Lockwood, Tyler Derry, Tiffany Whisner and David Johnson are from Carmel. Emily Schaab and Emily Lantz are from Noblesville, and Kara Snyder is from Westfield. For “Elf the Musical,” the cast features Nate Schlabach from Fishers, and Dick Davis, Matthew Altman and Leslie Gardreau from Carmel. Melissa Mellinger and Sydnie Blair are from Westfield, and Emily Schaab is from Noblesville. Hook stresses that there is not a bad seat in the house. “The Tarkington is a 500-seat proscenium theater with a six-story fly,” Hook says. “It’s a great place to see large-scale musicals with intricate and breathtaking sets and plays with functional scenery as well.” There is also a lot of excited anticipation from audiences before the shows. “Our shows are performed by volunteer actors and produced by a professional staff and a live orchestra,” Hook says. “We have a free parking garage and are within walking distance of dozens of restaurants.” Single tickets and subscriptions are on sale now at The Civic.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE WESTFIELD CROSSROADS CHAPTER INSTILLS PHILANTHROPIC SPIRIT FOR LOCAL MOMS & DAUGHTERS in conversation again,” Luedke says. “I was explaining to friends what this organization was and how I was kind of sad how it wasn’t When Christi Luedke first moved to around here. It was actually my daughter. Indiana from Texas seven years ago, she She looks at me and asked, ‘Well mom, didn’t realize that she would bring more why don’t you do it?’ and a little nugget just than just her family to the Hoosier State. On didn’t leave my mind.” the request of her daughter, in 2016 Luedke kickstarted Indiana’s very first National NCL is a non-profit organization that was Charity League (NCL) chapter in Westfield established in 1925 in Los Angeles with and its surrounding area. the sole purpose of philanthropic work. Writer / Madeleine Mills-Craig Photography Provided

“When she became of age in 7th grade, I looked around and I said, ‘Where is the National Charity League?’ and there wasn’t one. We kind of put it on the back burner for a while and then probably a year later, it kind of came up

Now, NCL is focused on building the bond between a mother and her daughter through monthly classes that cover their three pillars through a six-year program. Their three primary pillars are Community Service, Leadership Development and Cultural Experiences.

For Luedke, getting the word out about their NCL chapter, Crossroads, was understandably one of the most difficult parts of the process. The organization itself is primarily located in the Southern, Eastern and Western regions of the U.S. Many people in Indiana had never heard of the organization, much less knew what it was and how it was run. “Social media helped us tremendously,” Luedke says. “But our most effective means of education and recruiting actually came from circles of friends and word of mouth. It was definitely word of mouth, from both mothers and the girls themselves. It just kind of grew from there.”

WestfieldMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2019 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 9

Since the beginning, the club has quadrupled its size, going from roughly 50 members to 200. Having stepped down as Crossroads president in 2018, Luedke is now the Expansion Specialist for the corporate side of NCL, where she’s assisting with Carmel’s brand new chapter. Although the Crossroads chapter is open to anyone residing in Hamilton County and nearby districts, Carmel’s chapter is strictly restricted to those who live in Carmel’s School District. In place of Luedke, Sarah Watkins stepped in as the 2018-2019 president. Now, Kim Harvey is stepping out of her comfort zone to take the position. For Harvey, one of the most important aspects of NCL is trying out new things, especially if they scare you.

“Each year, one of the great things about NCL is that every member, both mothers and daughters, has a job for the year,” Harvey says. “We try to base it on what skills you have or what you’re interested in or your experience. But one of the things that we learned is that sometimes in life you’ve got to step out of your comfort zone. In order to grow, you have to stretch yourself. I am a perfect example of that because being president is not in my comfort zone but it’s good to show our daughters and model to them that sometimes you do step out of your comfort zone and you never know, it might be a wonderful experience that you never ever thought to try.” For information, visit nationalcharityleague.org.

SUBURBAN INDY HOME & OUTDOOR LIVING FALL SHOW RETURNS SEPTEMBER 20-22 AT GRAND PARK as well as pet adoptions with the Humane Society for Hamilton County. Suburban Indy Shows will donate 10% of all ticket revenue to the Humane Society.

Writer / Trisha Turner Photography Provided

Now in its third year, the Suburban Indy Home & Outdoor Living Fall Show again promises the area’s best experts in landscaping, home improvement and building projects. The 2019 show also boasts features that organizers have added to cater to customer interests as the event has evolved. The Home & Outdoor Living Fall Show will return to Westfield’s Grand Park Sept. 20-22. Along with approximately 200 exhibitors will be fan favorites like Dr. Lori’s antiques appraisals, presented at 1 and 4 p.m. on Sept. 20 and Sept. 21. She will offer one free appraisal per person, per show. New at this year’s event will be fall festivallike outdoor features, including a beer garden and games — weather permitting —

Also making its debut at the show will be a visit on Kids’ Day, Sept. 22, from DinoROAR. This interactive educational feature showcases fossils, dinosaur puppets and animatronics, and opportunities for pictures with a Tyrannosaurus rex. Additionally, activities with princesses and superheroes will return to this year’s Kids’ Day. A restaurant and bar overlook the exhibit area, which will feature displays of indoor and outdoor living spaces. A kitchen, wine cellar and fire feature will be among the displays aimed at helping customers extend their outdoor living season. Donell Heberer Walton coordinates fall and spring home and outdoor living events as the owner of Suburban Indy Shows.

Although the shows are in their first few years, she’s been organizing similar events for two decades. This fall’s show, she says, represents what she’s learned throughout her career, including new ideas gleaned specifically from her experience with the Grand Park event. “I feel like it’s all coming together,” says Walton, a Central Indiana resident for more than 30 years. Among the lessons Walton has learned along the way, she says, is that show visitors don’t want to deal with pushy salespeople. So Suburban Indy Shows prides itself on hosting events that are “hassle free.” The Home & Outdoor Living Fall Show also addresses customers’ desire to access plenty of locally based vendors. The show even features a Handmade Marketplace devoted to smaller, mom-and-pop businesses selling handcrafted items.

WestfieldMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2019 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 13

Walton likens the show’s exhibitors to her friends and family, and their number has doubled since the show began in 2017. But she says she wants to focus on “quality, not quantity,” offering an event where visitors can see all the exhibits in just a few hours. “Quality exhibitors are what people are looking for,” Walton says. “We want to do repeat business, people who come back every fall and spring to get new ideas. Every show is new and different.” Walton describes the Suburban Indy Shows fall event as “upscale.” But she also says the projects featured will be those that most people could take on for their own homes. “We have a more realistic view, and I think that’s important,” she says. “Our spaces show something that would fit in anyone’s backyard. It’s not overwhelming.” The goal, Walton says, is to combine a customer-friendly approach with a lineup of activities that offers something for everyone. She cites the Home & Outdoor Living Fall Show as perfect for families, couples or a girls night out. “I produced the Christmas show at the State Fairgrounds, and there were people who had been coming there for 60 years,” Walton says. “We’re hoping to create that on the northside, that feeling of tradition.” Parking is free. Tickets are $10 at the door or $5 if purchased online. Children 12 and under are free. Planning to take part in a Dr. Lori show? Arrive early to help ensure that you get your free appraisal. The Suburban Indy Home & Outdoor Living Fall Show will be Sept. 20-22 at the Grand Park Events Center, 19000 Grand Park Blvd. in Westfield. Hours are 10 a.m.- 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more details about the event’s vendors, activities, parking, schedule and tickets, visit suburbanindyshows.com.

It’s the next step in a family legacy.

Blake Fogelsong, director of operations with Clancy’s, Inc., says the new eatery’s Westfield location on the Monon was a perfect fit for his company’s latest project.

first restaurant, Clancy’s Hamburgers - the first double drive-through restaurant in the Midwest - in Noblesville in 1965. “We’re super excited to be part of the community.”

This August Clancy’s, Inc. opened the doors to Grindstone on the Monon, which stands as the latest eatery in the company’s family of restaurants. The first of which opened in Noblesville more than 50 years ago and currently includes Grindstone Charley’s, Michelangelo’s Italian Eatery, Grindstone Public House and Clancy’s Hamburgers.

“We've seen so much growth in the Westfield market over the last five years with Grand Park and all the new stuff they’re doing, and when we found the location we thought it would be a home run for us in terms of all the growth and development in the area,” says Fogelsong, a third-generation member of Clancy’s, Inc. whose grandfather Carl opened his

In early 2018 Fogelsong and his team bought the property on Wheeler Road and undertook a nine-month construction process to build the family-friendly Grindstone on the Monon from the ground up. The finished product houses 200 seats inside and 55 more on the outdoor patio that features a fire pit, and Fogelsong describes the interior aesthetic as rustic yet

contemporary with a casual, welcoming atmosphere for all ages. “We wanted some bold, eye-catching light fixtures and earthy tones and colors,” he says, adding that bike racks are also on site for those coming fresh off the Monon. “It’s a big restaurant and we wanted it to be family-friendly from the start.” The Clancy’s team brought Grindstone Public House executive chef Aaron Gregori to handle the menu, which covers a lot of culinary ground. On the app front you’ve got nachos, wings, cheese curds, crab dip and poutine, and from there you can choose from salads, sandwiches and sliders, as well as main entrees like streetstyle tacos, meatloaf, steak, stuffed pork chops and smoked ribs. Fogelsong chose to infuse the menu with some family history by including the Topper burger, which came to prominence at his grandpa’s Clancy’s Hamburgers joints. It’s a double-stacked burger with American cheese, shredded lettuce and house tartar sauce on a double-decker bun. “The menu is similar to Grindstone Public House, but it’s sightly bigger. We put in a smoker so we have a nice meat section with house-smoked brisket, a pasta section and steaks,” Fogelsong says. “On all of our menus we like to have a wide array of choices, where you can come in and get a $10 or $12 sandwich, and also take it all the way to the top and get a nice bottle of wine and a steak too.” Many of Gregori’s ingredients are sourced locally from vendors like Silverthorn Farm, Turchetti’s Salumeria, Viking Lamb and Wildflower Ridge Honey among others. Thirsty patrons will also find a lengthy drink menu that includes local beers, 25 whiskeys to choose from and cocktails broken down into categories like Strong & Stirred, Light & Refreshing, Seasonal and All Day Favorites. “The city’s been super supportive of the

Fogelsong runs Clancys, Inc. with his father Perry, who opened the first Grindstone Charley’s restaurant in the 1980s, and both father and son are confident Grindstone on the Monon will fit into the family of Clancy’s establishments nicely.

Recent Westfield High School (WHS) graduate Alicia Silhavy has never been one to waste time. Always keeping her eyes on the future, she has already begun a career with a local software company and amassed enough college credits to hit the campus of Savanah School of Arts and Design as a sophomore this quarter. She acknowledges that her experiences while attending Westfield High School enabled her to develop the skills she needs to go forward.

“I actually graduated early on Valentine’s Day 2019,” Silhavy says. “I had already been working for Archon Tech, a software consulting and marketing company since 2017. A friend who also graduated from Westfield High School showed them some of my work. They got in touch with me and hired me.”

Eggleston plans to study zoology in college. “Ever since I can remember, my favorite thing has always been animals, particularly of the mammal species, but still animals in general,” Eggleston says. “My dream job has always been something to do with animals, whether that was a veterinarian or a zoo keeper, I did not really know, but I knew it had to be with animals.

“Mrs. McKinney has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life,” she adds. “To this day, I try and see her at least once a week just to say hello or have a conversation. It is not only Mrs. McKinney at Westfield, but there are so many teachers like her. I know so many students that have a relationship similar to mine with a teacher and those relationships will stick with the students for the rest of their lives.” Eggleston says Student Impact of Westfield has also helped her tremendously. “I attend Student Impact every Monday and Friday and volunteer as an intern/ student leader every Tuesday and Thursday,” Eggleston says. “I love everything about this organization. I love the people who run it and attend it, what they stand for, what they do for Westfield, and everything in between. Eggleston is proud to say she have been a

“Once I started trying to narrow down my dream job, I knew I did not want to be a veterinarian, but that is about all I could figure out. I hope one day I can figure out what career I want, but for now, I know it must be working with animals.” Eggleston noted that Westfield has some of the best teachers. “Almost every single teacher I have had since first grade I have really liked. With Westfield teachers you can tell they want every single one of their students to succeed, and they try to make that happen. I have had so many teachers inspire me, and make me want to be a better person and student.” Eggleston has a favorite teacher. “One teacher that will forever have a place in my heart and will forever be my absolute

When asked what activities had the greatest impact on her while attending Westfield High School, Silhavy cited three major influences. For two years she was the editor-in-chief of the school yearbook. She also participated in The Idea Farm, a maker space club sponsored by the school’s innovation specialist, Joel Bruns. In addition, she is a 13-year member of the Girl Scouts of America. “I didn’t realize that the nerdy hobbies I had could become a profession until I started working 20 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2019 / WestfieldMag.com

part of Student Impact since the fifth grade and will be a member until the moment she graduates high school. “I started volunteering at student impact my sophomore year, but it wasn’t until my junior year that I was volunteering on a constant basis. As of right now, I volunteer nine or more hours a week, and love every minute.” Eggleston also says she loves living in Westfield. “I have always felt safe and secure while being in Westfield,” she says. “I love the amenities and opportunities available. I love that Westfield has fun things to do with friends, and also fun things to do with family.” She believes Student Impact is a big part of that. Danyele Easterhaus, executive director of Student Impact of Westfield, says says she is thrilled Eggleston has been recognized. “Shea is just an amazing young woman,” Easterhaus says. “She leads with a quiet, yet strong sense about her, despite all the issues she faces each and every day. She puts others first and displays leadership not in

on the yearbook,” Silhavy says. “Being editor was a really large job. I had to break down huge tasks into bite sized pieces while learning time management and developing interpersonal skills while managing a staff.” The Idea Farm is held in the school’s learning center and has woodworking, textiles, and technology stations. The club offers a collaborative workspace for making, learning, exploring and sharing ideas. It offers students the chance to experiment on both high- and low-tech equipment. Silhavy says, “I’m sure I drove Mr. Bruns crazy with all my questions and ideas! The Idea Farm was a great resource for me.” Over the 13 years, Silhavy has been involved in Girl Scouting, she has been recognized for her community service and leadership several times and has received the prestigious bronze and silver awards. In July 2019, she took a Girl Scout senior trip to Badlands National Park in South Dakota.

She and the other members of her troop worked with the National Park Service to clean and restore trails. When asked what her favorite aspect of Girl Scouting is, Silhavy says, “The importance of giving younger girls a role model, it means a lot. I got to share personal values with other younger girls.” At Savanah College of Art and Design, Silhavy is studying User Experience Design. She took classes on campus during the summer of 2018 and then continued with online classes throughout the past school year. Her course of study involves learning how people work and interact with computers while focusing on branding, logo development, and print design. “I’m having so much fun,” Silhavy says. “I will continue to work for Archon Tech remotely while I’m on campus. I love connecting the two halves of my brain, the developer part with the designing part!”

A WOMAN'S GUIDE TO MASTERING MENOPAUSE

Women undergo multiple changes in their lifetime. Some transitions take a toll on the body while others have no side effects, but almost all women experience menopause. Linda Witham, nurse practitioner at Indiana University Health Physicians Women’s Health, offers advice for managing menopause symptoms and when to consult an expert. “Menopause is diagnosed after a woman has gone at least 12 months without a menstrual cycle,” Witham says. “Symptoms of menopause may start to appear in a woman’s 40s or 50s. During the transitional years leading up to menopause, the ovaries produce different amounts of hormones than normal.” Leading up to menopause, women may experience unpredictable periods, hot flashes, vaginal and urinary problems, hormonal and mood changes, and sleep disturbances. To cope with the symptoms, Witham suggests the following:

and keep your mind occupied. Although exercise isn’t proven to reduce menopause symptoms, it can help you maintain a healthy weight, relieve stress and improve quality of life.” • Pinpoint the triggers. Some women find The only way to master menopause is to that hot flashes occur with hot beverages, drinks containing caffeine or alcohol, spicy adapt to your new and changing body, and staying healthy while doing so will make foods or stress.

Dress in layers and carry a bottle of water with you. When spells occur, take slow, easy breaths.

• Communicate with your doctor. For questions or concerns about how your body is changing, including irregular periods or hot flashes, talk with your OB/GYN or women’s health specialist. Keep up with regular wellness visits and ask your primary care doctor about recommended health screening tests. Always seek medical attention if you notice bleeding after menopause. “Regular fitness activity during menopause can be really beneficial, too,” Witham says. “Movements like aerobic activity, strength training, and stretching can help you relax
