HSE Hockey to fundraise for Riley

By Noah Alatza • news@currentinfishers.com Giving back to the community is nothing new for Hamilton Southgiving back eastern Schools’ Hockey Club.

The team, which has students from HSE High School and Fishers High School, will dedicate two upcoming games to fundraising for Riley Hospital for Children.

Geist Elementary School teacher and hockey team parent Autumn Carter said one of the guests of honor, Luke Andritsch, a leukemia survivor, will share his story and drop the first puck at the A game.

“I found the guest of honor and I reached out to him,” Carter said. ”It would be a good idea to get the community aware of what HSE hockey does. Our guys like to give back to the community, and this is another way to give back and help support the children’s hospital.”

Riley McGuire, a Riley patient and hockey player, will be the other honorary guest. He will drop the puck at the B game.

Christi Demlow, a hockey parent and event chairperson, said the hockey team donated $1,300 to Riley last year. The team has a $4,000 goal this year.

Demlow said this year alone players have volunteered more than 150 hours at the local homeless shelter, Third Phase; completed a food drive for community service; and sponsored a golf tournament in September 2018 to support HSE hockey players, among other events.

The A game will be at 9 p.m. Jan. 18. The B game will be at 7:40 p.m. Feb. 2. Both games will be played at the Fuel Tank in Fishers, 9022 E 126th St. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students. A silent auction and jersey auction will be offered.

Windstorm damages school greenhouse

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Sand Creek Elementary School fourthgrade teacher Molly education Coffman was awarded a grant last year which she applied to adding a greenhouse structure on the school’s campus. But a recent windstorm damaged the structure beyond repair.

“Unfortunately on Dec. 1 (2018), our cameras caught a giant gust of wind that had uprooted the greenhouse and tossed it, crumpling the frame,” Coffman said. “It was made of an aluminum frame but had been securely anchored.”

The greenhouse was built at the end of the 2017-18 school year. It was roughly 12foot by 20-foot and was used to help grow the school’s agricultural curriculum. Parent volunteers and even some off-duty Fishers Police Dept. officers donated time to construct the greenhouse.

“It was pretty devastating for those of us who have been working really hard, those

of us who have worked to get it initiated,” Coffman said.

Some of the greenhouse’s panes were salvaged, but the framework was damaged beyond repair. Now, Coffman said the school is looking to raise money to construct a similar greenhouse for the students.

Coffman estimates that a minimum of $2,000 would be required to rebuild the greenhouse.

Fishers National Bank burglarized again in 1930 Commentary by Robert Bowling After the Fishers National Bank was burglarized in 1920, it back in the day was almost 10 years to the day that it happened again. This time the robbers came through the front door. It was shortly before noon Feb. 24, 1930, when two men entered the bank.

While one stood guard at the door, the other drew a revolver. The suspects fled with

$2,000 in cash and $10,000 in bonds. A third suspect was waiting around the corner in the getaway vehicle.

Within a month, all three suspects, James Ryan and Cecil Nichols of Indianapolis and Wilbur Ferguson of Edinburg were arrested. They all pleaded guilty. Because bank robbery was a state crime, they were given the max sentence of 10 years at the Indiana State Prison.

Ferguson was paroled in 1935 for tuberculosis and Ryan was paroled in August 1936.

Ryan committed another bank robbery in

1937. Because it was now a federal crime, he was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison in Atlanta. Seven days after Ryan’s parole, Nichols, who had previously been denied parole, escaped and fled to Texas. In 1944, Nichols was eventually located in Adams County, Iowa, married with children. He was given clemency for the remainder of his sentence.

The robbery severely crippled the bank.

Although the bank had insurance, it did not cover the full amount of the loss. The robbery, coupled with the Great Depression, caused

the Fishers National Bank to close its doors a month later after serving the Fishers community for 17 years.

For the full column, visit current in fishers. com Robert Bowling has been a Fishers police officer for 16 years. He is a school resource officer and is the Fishers Police Dept. historian. He has a love of history and enjoys sharing it with others. He recently wrote the script and performed in the “Battle of Mudsock” re-enactment.

Liaisons in agriculture Baney family shares agriculture history, stresses importance in modern culture

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Baney family of Fishers refers to themselves as liaisons cover story in agriculture. Claire Baney, 19, started 4H in seventh grade, and the family had hobby animals like chickens and goats.

“We do know a lot of people that are farmers, but we view ourselves as liaisons in agriculture, in a way, because we know a lot of friends and family who are having this kind of traditional ag background,” Claire said.

Through Claire’s involvement in the Future Farmers of America chapter at Hamilton Southeastern Schools and her recent term as FFA state president, the family is stressing the importance of continuing agricultural education in schools, even in urban areas like Fishers.

Claire’s father, Steve, is a teacher in HSE schools. In 2017, when HSE celebrated 50 years of offering FFA, Steve credited strong advisors such as Tom Younts as the reason the program has enjoyed longevity.

“He has just laid an incredible foundation,” said Steve, noting Younts has served

as FFA advisor since 1977, when the FFA program began at HSE. “But one of the biggest concerns for people who have kids in the school district now is he’s going to retire at some point. Will our chapter continue to thrive? Because it’s a very different place, Fishers is, than the Fishers in 1977. That’s what people like me and Mr. Younts, and other educators in our district who understand the value of ag-based education, are doing.

“Over the last year, we have tried to get in front of stakeholders and decision-makers to help them see how important it is to have a viable ag-ed program in place.”

Steve said people often have a narrow perspective on agriculture, viewing it as simply farms, farm animals and rows of corn.

“We are challenging people to think outside the box in an urban or suburban setting and look at what we like to call an urban-ag approach,” he said.

Steve noted modern agriculture, where digital technology is beginning to cross paths with traditional agriculture, doesn’t mirror traditional perceptions. He said agriculture education can be important to students who are wanting to get involved

in the technology sector.

“Fishers did have such a rich agriculture background, but I think as we are evolving and changing, FFA still has that place because when you think about this area, there’s such an opportunity to be involved in so many different options,” Claire said.

“We have technology, that’s a big industry, and one thing we are really seeing now in agriculture is, by breaking down and converting sectors between the industries, that’s how you can truly innovate.”

Claire is double-majoring in agriculture education and agriculture economics at Purdue University. Uniting technology and agriculture especially piques her interest.

“Because I have such a passion with innovation and agriculture and agriculture and technology, I think it would be really cool to explore that area,” she said.

Claire said there aren’t as many degrees of separation between people and agriculture as people often think. She said even eating is participating in agriculture.

“I think that there’s been a disconnect (with agriculture), and that disconnect becomes more apparent in an urban area,” she said. “A lot of times we don’t view it as an agricultural act with eating. I remember

thinking it was so cool (when she served as state president), often a lot of our trips took us to the Fishers-Indianapolis area and even into Carmel. Right now, one thing that’s cool is you have other areas similar to Fishers looking at starting an (agricultural education) program. Zionsville is looking into building an ag-ed program. Other areas would really be able to thrive with having a program in that area as well.”

claire baney’s recent ffa involvement From 2016 to 2017, while she was a senior at HSE High School, Baney served as president of its FFA Club.

From June 2017 to June 2018, she took a year off from education to serve as the FFA state president. She recently sought to be selected a national officer but wasn’t chosen. She is considering trying again next year. In October 2018, Baney met with Gov. Eric Holcomb to discuss his vision for agriculture education in Indiana. She’s double majoring in agriculture education and agriculture economics at Purdue University.

HSE system is broken

ESSA Y Vital links Commentary by Terry Anker The California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento is widely regarded by visitors to that fine city as worth the trip. Its expansive collection and exhibits inspire and delight for a modest price of admission. One interesting interactive presentation allows for the guest to sit in a mock-up of the cockpit of a famed Japanese bullet train. Acting as engineer, one is challenged to load passengers, leave the station, race across urban and rural landscapes and arrive safely to the end-of-the line within a few feet of the precise drop point.

While waiting for the attraction, there are many displays regaling the history and aspirations of these innovations. It refreshed memories of a conversation I had as a college student with the then-president of Indiana University who was imagining such a connection from IU’s Bloomington campus to IUPUI in Indianapolis to Purdue’s West Lafayette home. “Imagine a 45-minute ride from one end to the other,” he mused.

What impact might it have had on our state, its institutions and all of us? Would we be more highly regarded or simply bankrupt?

We know that points of connection matter. Old west towns came to prominence and then faded based solely on the caprice of an active stagecoach stop or train station. All ancient capitals had navigable waterways. Like the long-past steam trains, schedules must align and access must be convenient.

Daylight savings time, direct flights and ample parking all contribute, in part, to the recipe.

Likewise, high-speed internet is a connective lifeblood. Understanding the power of assembly and the risk of isolation, can we thrive, or even survive, in a modern landlock?

Ultimate dad/daughter road trip Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m alive! And so is my dad. We survived a 14-hour road trip to St. Petersburg, Fla., during New Year’s with an humor overnight in exotic Valdosta, Ga. Though it was an impromptu decision to join him, I am so glad I did. Memories were made, people!

We ate Egg McMuffins in an uncharacteristically dirty McDonald’s somewhere in rural Tennessee, pondering our chances of winning Mega Millions. We enjoyed the last dinner of 2018 at Red Lobster, surrounded by blue hairs and Cheddar Bay biscuits. And we witnessed a small fender bender in a rest area near Ocala, where the victim went from yelling about her car to hugging the old man that had hit her and insisting he get out of the sun. There is goodness in the world!

Plus, I learned a few things about my father. For instance, he does not tolerate inferior paper products. Kleenex or Puffs only, please. Also, that his first concert was

Elvis. Elvis! And finally, that he spent a gap year in London before gap years were cool.

In the ‘60s. So, my father was basically Austin Powers.

True, Dad still gets anxious when I drive, as if I’m 16 again, wedging the Ford LTD wagon between our house and the neighbor’s fence. And he snores, often quite robustly.

But on balance, my father is the perfect traveling companion. He’s comfortable with silence, enjoys the music of the Margaritaville channel and pays for everything.

Bottom line, friends? If you ever have the chance to spend quality time with a parent, do it! They’re not going to be around forever, but your memories will.

Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

- Niccolo Machiavelli

Editor, The school board redistricting plan failed to recognize the importance of mental health of the students by not providing a “feeder” system.

A feeder system is having the consistency of students attend intermediate, junior high and high school. Even though the feeder system was the stated goal of the school superintendent and board (e.g., minutes from Aug. 14 meeting), this was not true. It became an afterthought because whereas every community-driven proposal provided a 100-percent feeder system, the school board chose the superintendent’s own separate plan.

Mental health is at stake because lowperceived social support is one of the largest predictors for depression, anxiety and low self-esteem in school-aged children.

Perceived social support is the experience of feeling valued, cared for and respected by those in a child’s life. The main sources of social support are family, friends, teachers and community.

The feeder system provided the natural consistency of one’s peer group, regardless of the school, and stability of friends is the strongest correlation with perceived social support.

The redistricting plan accomplished the erosion of a built-in normal support system.

The school board proved the HSE system is broken. Kids are resilient, but it’s impossible to develop a strong community of peers when there become forced minorities of students due to which school a student will attend in the future.

Dr. Rob Bell, Fishers

Channeling Bach and rock Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We recently changed cable services. Our new system allows me to talk to the remote, and magically the TV plays my humor choice. This is a huge advantage for me over the last set-up where, instead of talking to the remote, I told Mary Ellen what show I wanted to view. But then she would put on what she wanted to watch, and I had to go down to the basement.

We have enjoyed watching old movies, but mostly we’ve watched music. It’s just like the old MTV, but there’s nothing to look at. It’s a blank screen. We get songs on several channels, each featuring a different genre, like R&B, hip-hop, reggae, soul, smooth jazz, rough jazz, heavy metal, light metal, hard rock and soft rock.

My wife hates having to explain everything we view on TV. “Sorry, I had to go the bathroom, Mary Ellen. Did I miss anything?”

“Yes, you missed the beginning of Bach’s ‘Cello Concerto in D minor.’ And, no, I’m not going to hum it for you. And explaining music is very difficult.”

“Then let’s switch to Easy Listening.”

The music stations display ads in one corner and interesting facts about the song or the artist playing in the opposite corner.

Symphonies were written by musicians when they were youngsters. Impressive, but in all fairness, what else was there to do in the 1700s? No Internet, no iPhone 4G. Not even the 3G. The 13th-century French musician Léonin gained fame at Notre Dame. But what did he play? French horn? Violin?

Quarterback?

I did some research myself: Johann Sebastian Bach’s wife made him a sandwich to take to work every day and is credited with inventing the Bach’s lunch.

Beethoven was not deaf. He simply had heard enough already.

It wasn’t that Brahms didn’t like children — he just liked them better when they were sleeping.

Mary Ellen said I could watch the Colts game this week on our big TV. That was music to my ears.

‘Plogging’ for heart health - Looking for a workout that delivers heart-healthy benefits, gets you outdoors and is good for your community? Welcome to plogging, a combination of jogging and picking up litter, originated in Sweden. It’s a good workout, since you’re adding squatting (to gather trash) to running or walking. You’ll be outdoors, soaking up vitamin D and improving your mood. And you’ll be doing your part to make the world a cleaner place. By collecting a few plastic bottles, cigarette butts or food wrappers off the ground, you’ll be doing something meaningful, a big secret to happiness.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com Are you walking fast enough to live a long life? - Walking produces a bounty of well-known health benefits, from helping with weight loss to reducing stress to keeping your memory sharp and your heart healthy. It can even help you avoid premature death, if you move at more than a saunter, especially as you get older, new research reveals. You don’t have to be a speed walker, but walking at a brisk clip might reduce your risk of early mortality.

Carmel residents form champion ballroom dancing duo

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Within minutes of meeting more than four years ago, Kathleen Ilo and Jonas Kazlauskas realized they had shared goals for their ballroom dancing careers.

Dance The duo from Carmel captured the professional 10-dance title in the U.S. Championships in Orlando in September 2018, for the second consecutive year. The couple placed third in in the professional 10-dance in the World Championships in October 2018 in Minsk, Belarus.

The 10-dance competition includes five Latin dances and five standard dances.

“Our goal is to keep the streak in the U.S. and climb a few more spaces in the world,” Kazlauskas said. “That’s why we started dancing together and that’s why we’ll keep on dancing until we get to the finish line.”

Kazlauskas said the 10-dance can be more expensive for competition because of the need for expert instruction in certain dances.

“We like the music of the waltz, but we like the music of the samba and cha-cha-cha, also,” Kazlauskas said. “When you are working and teaching, you can do shows and teach in both styles. It pays back in the end.”

The two began dating six months after they started dancing together.

Ilo’s parents, Rauno and Kristiina Ilo, former Soviet Union 10-dance champions, own the Starlite Ballroom and Dance School in Indianapolis. Ilo and Kazlauskas are instructors at the school, teaching all levels and ages.

“We have a lot of people who come from Columbus (Ohio), Chicago or Michigan just because they’ve heard of our name and they want to come and have lessons,” Ilo said. “They will seek you out if you have done something worthwhile.”

The couple travels frequently for competitions and instruction. In 2018, the couple traveled to London, Italy Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, Belarus, France, China and Thailand.

Ilo was seeking a new partner because her partner at the time was living in North Carolina and she had to travel back and forth. Her father found an advertisement Kazlauskas put up on dancesportinfo.net seeking a partner in the fall of 2014.

Ilo’s father said he seemed to be the right age, height and looks for her.

“It’s like a dating site for dance partners,” Ilo said of the advertisement.

The next day, she messaged Kazlauskas, and the following day, she flew to Boston for a tryout.

“We decided that day we were going to dance together,” Ilo said. “He had a certain amount of achievements, so that was appealing. He is from Lithuania and that’s close to Estonia, so it’s nice to have someone from a similar culture to you. When we met, we had the same goals.”

Kathleen Ilo and Jonas Kazlauskas display their ballroom dance skills.

(Submitted photo)

Ilo’s family moved to Washington, D.C., from Estonia when she was 5 years old and then moved to Carmel when she was in third grade. After graduating from Cathedral High School, Ilo graduated from Indiana University with a biology degree.

“I kind of always knew I would come back to dancing, but for a long time I thought I wanted to be a dentist. Then I decided I didn’t want to be a dentist,” she said. “Right after school, I started teaching and dancing more seriously.”

Kazlauskas moved from Lithuania to England when he was 14.

He moved to Boston nine years later. Shortly thereafter, he met Ilo. Ilo is 5-foot-5 while Kazlauskas is 6-foot.

“The ideal height would be 5-7 for Kazlauskas for ballroom, but for Latin it doesn’t matter because it’s just a hand connection,” Ilo said. “I wear a higher (heel) shoe and he has to bend a little more. He complains a lot about it, but that’s OK.” One advantage Starlite has is its full competition-sized floor.

Kazlauskas agreed it benefits rehearsals.

“We’re spoiled. The better the floor, the easier it is to dance sometimes,” he said.

Kazlauskas would love to see more younger boys give ballroom dancing a try. Ilo’s brother, Markus, a Carmel High School sophomore, started a ballroom dance club at school.

Field Brewing

Field Brewing’s Hot Grain Bowl offers a plethora of grains mixed with squash, kale, cabbage, walnuts and pistachios topped with a poached egg and Chermoula dressing. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 303 E Main St., Westfield What to get: Hot Grain Bowl Price: $12 Anna’s take: Field Brewing opened in October 2018. The modern restaurant and brewery’s take on a healthy, clean menu leaves taste buds and bodies happy.

I started with the grilled chicken wings ($8 for a half order, $16 for a full order). The bone-in wings are braised for 1 1/2 hours, then grillled to create a slightly charred exterior. The wings are braised in a spicy garlic sauce, then tossed with fresh herbs to create a vibrant finishing touch. The wings are gluten-free and served with

a house-made Parmesan ranch.

For my main dish, I enjoyed the Hot Grain Bowl, which exudes comfort and earthiness with faro, barley, wild rice, lentils and chickpeas. The dish is vegetarian but has plenty of protein from the grains. Kuri squash is mixed with the grains as well as walnuts, kale, cabbage, pistachios and a Chermoula dressing – an African-style spice. It’s topped with a poached egg.

Suggested pairings: For the wings, order a pint of Our Lightest Beer, a Germanstyle pilsner that cuts through the heat.

For the Hot Grain Bowl, pair it with a pint of Centerfield pale ale, a collaboration between Field Brewing and Centerpoint Brewing in Indianapolis. All pints are $6.

Behind bars: Flora Y Fuma Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Tanqueray gin, .75 oz. St. Elder, .25 oz. agave, .25 oz. lemon juice, rosemary sprig Directions: Combine ingredients into a Yari glass, add ice, stir and strain onto fresh ice in an Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with torched rosemary.

Music partners create first album

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dan Lockhart and Dan Blackard have written more than 100 songs together.

However, the two have internet never met in person and have no real plans to do so.

Lockhart, a Carmel resident, said both enjoy the arrangement and find it quite productive. Blackard, who lives in Reno, Nev., and Lockhart met on SoundCloud.

They released their first album, “4114,” under the name Dan X2 in October 2018. The album is pronounced “four-one-fourteen.”

“It represents our common first name of Dan,” Lockhart said. “D is the fourth letter of the alphabet, A is the first letter of the alphabet and N is the 14th letter.”

Lockhart said the musical partners have a process that fits their unique skills.

“We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests. I do the initial song development,” Lockhart said. “(Blackard) writes the lyrics, perform the vocals and adds lead guitar. I then take the track and do all final production, mixing, mastering, adding in frills. I write all of the chords, timing, changes and develop the track.”

He then sends two tracks to Blackard.

Dan Lockhart can play a variety of instruments.

(Submitted photo)

“One track has me describing the song,” Lockhart said. “I then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue. I call it an instrumental track. This is a track to which Dan can sing and add his parts.”

Lockhart plays guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin and viola, so he can make a lot of adjustments.

The music is blues and rock based. The album can be found on iTunes.

Lockhart moved from Boston to Fishers in 1988. In 1996, he moved to St. Louis for two years and has lived in Carmel since 1998.

Blueprint for Improvement: Northern Indianapolis condo expansion Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

After

Before

We previously highlighted the larger kitchen remodel, but now we will highlight the remaining kitchen and master bathroom that also were included in the remodel.

1. The homeowners decided to keep two kitchens in the now joint condo. The second kitchen was updated with all new cabinetry, countertops and flooring.

2. One section of the cabinetry was removed, and floating shelves were incorporated for a more modern design.

3. Not only were the countertops upgraded to quartz, but the same material also was incorporated as the backsplash, carrying its beautiful veining through the kitchen.

4. The master bathroom materials were completely updated, and a steam unit was added to the homeowners’ new custom-tile shower for a spa-like experience.

Background info: This condo, in the Olde Mill neighborhood of Northern Indianapolis and built in the late ’80s, was a unique project. The homeowners owned two neighboring condos and wanted to create one space to have more room for family and friends to visit.

Before problems

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

As highlighted in the previous Blueprint for Improvement, the two condos were small and divided. There were two kitchens that were dated and felt dark and confined. The bathrooms had never been updated and lacked functionality.

Besides, I’m beside myself Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Tales of the Alhambra Commentary by Don Knebel The Alhambra in Granada, Spain, is one of the world’s finest examples of Islamic design. For a time, its primary occupants were Granada’s homeless. travel By the 13th century, Christian forces of the Reconquista were making real progress in recapturing Spanish cities from the Muslims. To make sure that Granada would not fall, in about 1230 A.D. Sultan Muhammad I, the founder of the Nasrid dynasty, began building a fortified palace atop a hill overlooking the city. Subsequent Nasrid sultans continued the project, adding lavishly adorned rooms, courtyards and gardens, along with barracks for up to 40,000 soldiers. Nearly every interior surface was covered with intricate carvings and plasterwork, some reflecting Arabic writings. The complex became known as “La Alhambra,” after an Arabic name meaning “red castle.”

Although Granada was the last Spanish city to remain in Muslim hands, La Alhambra’s fortifications and troops eventually proved inadequate. On Jan. 2, 1492, Sultan Boabdil surrendered to Ferdinand II and Isabella I,

who made La Alhambra their royal residence.

From there they issued the Alhambra Decree, requiring all Jews to leave Spain within four months unless they converted to Christianity. In about 1527, Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor and emperor of Spain, ordered that parts of the Alhambra be replaced with a Renaissance-style palace so he could enjoy what remained. The Alhambra was abandoned in the 18th century, falling into disrepair and becoming a refuge for beggars. From 1808 to 1812, the Alhambra was occupied by Napoleon’s troops, who blew up parts of it.

Restoration of the Alhambra began in 1828, when it was visited by Washington Irving, who brought its magnificence to western audiences with his 1832 publication of “Tales of the Alhambra.” The Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has become one of Spain’s most popular destinations, welcoming up to 6,000 visitors a day.

The Alhambra in Granada, Spain. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Did you know that “I Am the Walrus” was the B-side to The Beatles’ 1967 single “Hello, Goodbye?” grammar guy Usually, a B-side served as a virtual throwaway for a band — a discarded song that would never get radio airtime. The focus was always intended for the A-side to shine. When I learned this piece of Beatles trivia, I was beside myself. Does anyone besides me feel the same way?

Today, we’re taking a look at “beside” and “besides.” The two words are often used interchangeably, even though they have distinct intended usages. Let’s start with “beside.” Beside is almost always used as a preposition that means “next to” or “on the side of.” I sat beside my record player while trying to dissect the meaning of Lennon’s kooky lyrics.

Occasionally, “beside” means “in comparison with.” Here’s an example: As The Beatles’ songs gained more popularity, they earned their place in rock ‘n’ roll history beside greats like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. This usage of beside is more figurative, instead of being literally next

to Elvis and Chuck Berry.

“Besides” can be used as either an adverb or a preposition. As an adverb, it means “in addition to,” “also” or “otherwise.” For example: My friend Byron believes Paul McCartney died in a car crash in early 1966; besides, he’ll buy into just about any conspiracy theory. As a preposition, besides means “in addition to” or “except.” “Besides the clues on the cover of ‘Abbey Road,’ there’s evidence in countless Beatles lyrics to prove the theory,” Byron argued.

The easy way to remember when to use beside or besides is that “besides” has one additional letter, and it also means “in addition to.” Use the longer word when you mean “in addition to.”

Just like Paul McCartney (who is 100 percent alive) doesn’t want to be accused of being an imposter, don’t let people think you’re a grammar wannabe — know the difference between beside and besides.
