Adding 30 minutes to elementary day - Teachers

Carmel Clay Schools is considering several changes that could affect the length of the school EDUCATION day for students in all grade levels.

At a Nov. 11 school board workshop, CCS Supt. Michael Beresford shared results of parent and teacher surveys that showed support Beresford for lengthening the elementary school day and shortening the school day for middle and high school students, who would also start classes an hour later now. The changes could go into effect for the 2020-21 school year, if approved.

The district is proposing adding 30 minutes to the elementary school day, meaning it would start at 8 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. Currently, it begins at 8:05 a.m. and ends at 2:35 p.m.

Parents largely supported this idea — with 85 percent supporting and 15 percent opposing it. Beresford said the additional time would be evenly split between adding more recess and instructional time.

“If you look into the (extra minutes for instructional time), we’re actually going to give the teachers a choice to use that time as they see fit and for what they need,” Beresford said.

“We’re talking about decompressing the day a little bit.”

Beresford said Carmel and Zionsville have the shortest elementary school days when compared to similar, nearby districts.

Another proposal is beginning the school day at 8:45 a.m. and ending it at 3:45 p.m. for middle and high school students. The current day for those students is 7:45 a.m. to 3:05 p.m. and 7:50 a.m. to 3:05 p.m., respectively,

meaning their school day would be either 15 or 20 minutes shorter.

“There’s a lot of research that secondary students, especially kids in puberty, function much better on a later-start school day,” Beresford said, adding that the time cut would come out of built-in transition, such as time between classes and during morning announcements.

CCS also has proposed building in more professional development time for teachers district-wide. The change would mean that twice each month, all CCS students would have a one-hour delay to the school day, giving teachers a chance to engage in professional development workshops and meetings.

At the elementary schools, the change would mean that students on those days would attend school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the middle schools

and high school, students would be in session from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

Parents of middle and high schoolers supported the idea, 81 percent to 19 percent. Eighty-one-percent of middle and high school teachers were supportive.

Parents of elementary-age students were far less supportive, with only 56 percent favoring the late-start days. Most in opposition said the change would cause disruptions with work and child care schedules.

All of the proposed changes would come at a cost, Beresford said, when taking into account the district employees who are paid hourly. By extending their days by 30 minutes, Beresford said it would cost the district approximately $350,000 annually.

No action was taken on any proposal. Learn more at ccs.k12.in.us/ services/time-of-day-study.

HCCF celebrates giving, announces 2-to-1 matching grant

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hundreds of Hamilton County residents gathered Nov. 7 at Ritz Charles to honor three PHILANTHROPY community leaders and hear an update from the Hamilton County Community Foundation at the annual Celebration of Philanthropy.

HCCF presented Community Pillar Awards to Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County Executive Director Lauren Guynn and Dan Clark, Ivy Tech Community College Hamilton County campus president. Each recipient selected a nonprofit to receive a $5,000 grant.

Fadness, who was honored for his work in addressing mental health issues, selected the Youth Mentoring Initiative to receive the grant funds.

For the last several years, Fadness has been working with other city departments and organizations to improve mental health resources and

response in Fishers.

“I can honestly say with all the buildings we’ve built and all the exciting economic development announcements, there has been nothing as rewarding, challenging and humbling as the effort to give a voice to those who are living in quiet despair in our City of Fishers,” Fadness said.

Guynn directed her $5,000 grant to Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development, which will partner with Shepherd’s Center to provide home

maintenance and repairs for area seniors. She was recognized for her work empowering families.

“The aging population is quickly becoming the fastest-growing population in our community,” Guynn said. “We believe everyone in Hamilton County, regardless of their age, deserves a great-quality second half of life.”

Clark, honored for promoting inclusive economic growth, awarded his grant to Good Samaritan Network, which will partner with Ivy Tech on a

workforce development project that includes education and training linked to a web-based directory.

“Higher education and workforce training are a maze. We’re going to untie the knots in the maze and make that information available as soon as those people need it,” said Clark, adding that the information will be translated into as many languages as possible.

After presenting the awards, HCCF President Tom Kilian announced a campaign to raise $1 million for the unrestricted endowment for Hamilton County by Dec. 31, 2020. If the goal is met, Lilly Endowment will match it 2-to-1, leading to an increase of $150,000 available each year for community grants.

Other new HCCF initiatives include a feasibility study for a nonprofit innovation center and a social impact investment business line.

Christkindlmarkt opens with new offerings, upgrades

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Christkindlmarkt opened for its third season Nov. 16 with several new offerings and upgrades.

CHRISTKINDLMARKT The Kulturecke, or German history museum, is new this year. It’s the result of a partnership with the Indiana German Heritage Society and the Indiana Historical Society and features an exhibit about “10 Christmas Traditions You Didn’t Know Were German.”

Maria Murphy, Carmel Christkindlmarkt CEO, said she expects the museum to return next year as a more interactive exhibit.

“We want to spend this year going around Indiana getting some oral histories so we could (use them on) a screen or audio,” she said. “It’ll be German immigrants in their 80s or 90s talking about their memories of Christmas.”

New food and drink offerings this year include Farmhouse Flammkuchen (freshly baked Swiss flatbread pizzas) and Bob’s Belgian Hot Chocolate (made with pulverized Belgian chocolate). Popular favorites such as the Glühwein Pyramid (warm beverages) and Raclette Chalet (melted, scraped cheese) will return.

How to

PREVENT A DRAIN CLOG

Clogged drains might be one of the most inconvenient nuisances of homeownership, but did you know that drains are designed to be clog free?

Most drains clog because we try to put something in them that doesn’t belong.

Here are a few tips on how to prevent your homes drains from clogging up: 1. Don’t put anything in your toilet except for toilet paper – and yes, that does include wipes, even if they say they are flushable.

2. Even though toilet paper is flushable, don’t use too much toilet paper, or it will not be able to pass through the pipes cleanly.

3. If you have an older toilet or drainage system, keep in mind it may take extra water to move items through the line – that might require extra flushes.

6. Do not put peels down the drain, even if you have a garbage disposal installed.

7. Do not use chemical drain cleaners in your drains if a clog does occur. The chemicals can eat your home’s pipes, possibly leading to bigger issues later; they are not good for the environment; and over exposure to these chemicals can have adverse effects on your health.

If you have an older home, it is possible that your drain and sewer lines are made of material that has degraded over time. If you have continued drain problems, it is important to contact a professional to have your drain system inspected. Collapsed lines, tree roots, or improper fall are all causes of drain issues that may require intervention for permanent drainage solutions.

Mosque project progressing

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Since clearing a legal challenge in March to construct the first mosque in Carmel, the Al Salam UPDATE Foundation has been working to prepare the 15-acre site for construction.

Ashhar Madni, a member of Al Salam’s board of directors, said a groundbreaking for the Islamic Life Center is tentatively planned for early 2020. Preliminary work has already been done, such as installation of a fence and landscaping on the west side of the parcel near 141st Street and Shelborne Road.

The project will go before the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals Nov. 25, when

Al Salam will seek permission for a special use variance on the north portion of the site so parking can be relocated there from the west side of the property. The request is a result of several commitments Al Salam made regarding the project at the request of neighboring residents and BZA officials.

Approximately two months after the project received BZA approval, a group of nearby residents filed a lawsuit asking a court to review the decision, but in March an appeals court judge ruled the challenge invalid.

Madni said Al Salam hasn’t received much community feedback since the judge’s ruling.

“We are open to reaching out to the neighbors if they have any questions or concerns,” Madni said.

BATHRO

4. Do not put grease down any drains in your home.

5. Make sure your garbage disposal is working properly. Just because the food goes down, doesn’t mean that the disposal did its job. Did you know that the average garbage disposal needs to have its blades changed every 2 years?

Team places 2nd nationally AVOID FOOT SURGERY

with New MLS Laser Therapy

Lisamaria Burkhard had never been on a tennis court.

That changed when she moved from California to Carmel TENNIS four years ago.

“I was active hiking and a friend said, ‘Have you ever thought about taking up tennis?”

Burkhard said. “I had never picked up a racket or even watched a tennis match in my life. I decided I would try it and liked it.”

Burkhard went all in on the sport.

“I captained about 30 teams (women and mixed-doubles), and almost every team came out first in their division,” Burkhard said.

One of her United States Tennis Association teams, the Carmel Racquet Club 3.0 women’s 40-and-older team, placed second nationally last month in Orlando. The team, representing the Midwest, won four matches to finish first among 17 teams and reach the

semifinals. The team won its semifinal match against a Missouri Valley team and then lost to a team from South Carolina, 3-2.

“I had a good, solid team that worked really well this year,” Burkhard said.

Burkhard took a different 3.0 team to the nationals in 2018.

“USTA has a rule that once you go to nationals, you have to disband that team,” Burkhard said.

Value vs. development Commentary by Angela Herrmann “What is the price we pay for the loss of our natural world?” asked Angelo J. Dattilo, president of A.D. Environmental, Inc., ENVIRONMENT in Carmel.

This question has nagged at Dattilo for years. As a Carmel-area resident since 1993 with his wife, Wendy, and an avid, longtime birder, Dattilo has observed firsthand the area’s rapid growth. With the conveniences of new development, however, he knows what residents have lost. He recalls the 1990s Greyhound Plaza proposal that required the removal of a large woodlot.

“I knew that a Cooper’s hawk nested in those woods,” Dattilo said. He had spent time observing the nest as the male and female roosted there.

Even though he attended a hearing to speak out against the development, he knew he couldn’t stop it. The woods are gone, as are the hawks,

but he has never forgotten them.

A few years ago, he stumbled across the Indiana Forest Alliance, an organization dedicated to preserving and restoring Indiana’s native forest ecosystems. There, he discovered IFA’s Ecoblitz, a survey of life within deep-forest habitats. He volunteered to help document birds in Morgan-Monroe State Forest. That experience led him to serve on IFA’s board of directors, and he has just begun his second term. For him, it’s a question of how to balance the losses with the gains.

“It’s a matter of what we value,” he said. “Can we develop and keep the habitat?”

Angela Herrmann is the director of communications and outreach for the Indiana Forest Alliance. The mission of the IFA is to preserve and restore Indiana’s native hardwood ecosystem for the enjoyment of all. Learn more about IFA at indianaforestalliance.org.

Late fees can add up, even if they’re small.

Author pens holiday romance

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com Liza Jonathan’s romance writing career began with a trip to the Carmel Clay Public Library.

BOOKS She noticed many of the books were romances and, having never read one, picked one up.

“I took it home expecting merely a sexy read, but I was rocked off my heels Jonathan by how good it was,” the Carmel author said. “For a few months, I was reading literally a book a day. Finally one day, I finished a book and thought, ‘I think I can write one of these.’”

A romance industry blog on how painful it can be to read Christmas romances while dealing with a difficult family life led to Jonathan’s holiday book idea.

“The writer simply said, ‘Some of us will never have a merry Christmas.’

I was so moved by that, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and the idea occurred to me, ‘What if you took two strangers with very tragic pasts, and threw them together in a magical mountain town that populates around their every wish and deepest desire?”

Jonathan said.

“Wrecking Christmas,” the first book in the Mountain Magic Christmas series, took Jonathan about three months to write.

The book is set in Jonathan’s native West Virginia, where the heroine has a wreck on her way to the Greenbrier Resort and is rescued by the hero, a local who runs a design and collision repair shop. The couple ends up stranded in the fictional, magical town of Christmas Pass during a snowstorm.

Jonathan will have a book signing from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 22 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Westfield Barnes & Noble, 14790 Greyhound Plaza.

“Wrecking Christmas” is available on all major platforms.

Tinsel and Tails is Nov. 21

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said the 13th FUNDRAISER annual Tinsel and Tails fundraiser at Ritz Charles usually sells out. Last year, Stevens said approximately 700 guests attended. This year, the event is scheduled for 6 to 9:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St., Carmel.

Guests can enjoy a silent and live auction, dinner and a video montage featuring animal success stories of the year.

“It features about seven to 10 of the year’s most remarkable stories of rescue and redemption, and these are stories of survivor pets. They survived something unthinkable,” Stevens said.

“We tell the stories about rescue, not just because an animal was rescued, but because of how some of these animals rescued people.”

After the video, the featured families and their pets walk on a runway that passes through Ritz Charles.

“Everyone has a chance to see them and meet them,” Stevens said.

Tickets are $125.

Stevens encourages anyone in interested in attending to purchase tickets soon because they will sell out. Tickets are available at hamiltonhumane.com/ programs/events/tinsel-tails.

After nearly closing for good, county’s oldest church, White Chapel, growing again

By Viktoria Nasteva anna@youarecurrent.com Ed Pursel has lived down the street from White Chapel Church for most of his 95 years. The COVER STORY congregation has had its share of ups and downs through the decades, as dwindling attendance and finances left it on the brink of closure on more than one occasion.

But through it all, Pursel has been there. For most of the past 90 years, at least.

Pursel has visited other congregations, but White Chapel, at 5155 E. 116th St. in Carmel, has always felt like home. And he’s a big fan of David Cottrell, who became pastor of the church more than two years ago.

“He lays it on like it is,” Pursel said.

The new pastor also is the reason Carla Glos has recently returned to White Chapel, she said.

“It’s like he’s speaking directly to you,” she said.

In his short time at the church, Hamilton County’s oldest, Cottrell has grown the congregation from less than 10 people to nearly 60, although attendance still pales in comparison to the 6,500 he ministered to for 25 years at his previous church in California.

Cottrell, a Fishers resident, said he considers himself an expository and nontraditional preacher. He likes to have fun, often using props to illustrate his messages and telling personal stories in his sermons.

The church is nondenominational, but it didn’t start out that way. In 1850, longtime Methodist preacher Jacob White was appointed to the church in what was known as Mattsville at the time. He held services at an old farmhouse, but people in the community — now in east Carmel — had been congregating in their own homes or at the one-room “Blue School” since 1835.

FROM NORMANDY TO THE BEAUTY SALON

White proposed the idea of building a church for his congregation, but many were discouraged after several failed attempts to do so. He proclaimed he would achieve the goal, and when everyone agreed on a location, he inquired of the landowner, Peter Wise.

Wise donated the land on the condition that it always be used for the church. He also offered free lumber while White and his parishioners volunteered their labor twice a week.

White Chapel was finished and dedicated in 1853 with a total outstanding debt of $14 for nails, paint and a stove. The money was recovered during the first service.

Although White was not the pastor at the time of dedication, all were in favor of naming the church White’s Chapel. He disapproved of the possessive, and the name White Chapel stuck. White only preached twice and performed one wedding at the church, he wrote in an 1897 letter.

The main structure of White Chapel is largely original, but the church has had several pastors and faced challenges that nearly led it to close

White Chapel Church has been part of the community since the 1850s, although the date of this photo is unknown.(Submitted photo)

its doors for good through the years.

The generosity of loyal members, however, has sustained it. According to church records, one man gave a blank check to cover renovation costs of adding a belfry and steeple, and the daughter of an active member left $10,000 to the church in her will.

Cottrell said his first couple of years at White Chapel have been focused on rebuilding. But now that he has a committed congregation, he is ready to see how church members can begin to serve the community again.

“I want to build the reputation that we are the most Christ-like church in town,” Cottrell said.

A virtual lifelong attendee at White Chapel Church, Ed Pursel, 95, has seen many of the congregation’s highs and lows through the years.

Pursel is a descendant of the Moffitt family, Pursel early Hamilton County pioneers, some of whom are buried in the churchyard. As a young boy, he walked to services with his great aunt, but now his wife of 67 years, Rosie, accompanies him.

Pursel said some of his most vivid memories are from the three years he spent in the U.S. Navy as a signalman, receiving, encoding and sending ship-to-ship messages. He was on the USS LST49 tank-landing ship during the D-Day invasion of Normandy 75 years ago. He believes he is still alive today because, out of fear of being short-handed and obliterated by the Americans, the German army pulled its troops away from the beaches.

Before the war, Pursel worked at a newspaper. After the war, he drove a truck for a local hatchery.

He hauled feed for two years until taking a career test that revealed he was best suited for a job in protective services or the arts. Rosie said he was then “talked into” becoming a beauty salon operator.

He had never considered such a profession but ended up styling women’s hair for nearly 30 years.

He worked in the salons at Wasson’s and Block’s, two prominent Indianapolis department stores at the time, and later purchased a salon.

ESSAY

LETTER

Will call you back later-maybe

Power outages need explanation

Commentary by Terry Anker

“Your message is important to me … however … ” We all get them, these polite rebuffs. Our friend, business associate, or support desk operator is not available when we reach out. Understandable. Nature calls, travel happens and sometimes we just need a break. But the art of rejection is not as simple as some would believe it to be. And in the current torrent of communication mechanisms and chirping apps, we have greater reason to hide out than ever.

Studies report that humans are reaching an interchange apex. We send and receive scores of emails, texts, calls and posts each day.

Please pardon the reference, but it is now common to be listening to someone taking a phone call in the bathroom stall next door. Why? Is it really that imperative?

Could it be that we don’t know how to graciously take a breather?

Or, is it that those who demand our attention won’t tolerate even one?

So, we blithely post that “out-ofthe-office” form letter promising false love to whoever may reach out. Could we more honestly say, “You may be important to me. If so, I’m sad to miss you and will reach out promptly – but you may not be and you’ll soon know.”

It would be great to talk about it more, but it’s time for a break, and as the great Joe Walsh sings, “Just leave a message, maybe I’ll call.”

Running away from PF Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve finally accepted the fact that I have feet problems. There, I said it. My name is Danielle, and I HUMOR have planter fasciitis.

PF is an inflammation of the tissue that connects your toes to your heel and manifests in pain and soreness on the bottom of your foot. I’ve been a runner most of my life but have been relatively lucky in that I’ve avoided PF. Me being me, I usually attributed “other peoples,’” PF to “their own fault,” insinuating that I, of course, was better than them.

Not to their faces, mind you. I may be judgey, but I keep that shtick to myself.

Anyhoo, about a year ago I bought a weighted blanket and started training for Spartan obstacle course races, both of which put added strain on my feet. Yes, I am attributing part of my PF to my glorious 20-pound duvet that forces my feet into a pointed position for eight to 10 hours each

night. Combine that with lots of running and jumping on hard surfaces in less-than-supportive shoes and little to no stretching, and voila, PF! At least, that’s my “I’m-a-mom-so-I’mbasically-a-doctor” diagnosis.

But I haven’t done one thing to help my feet get better, even though I know exactly what to do. I still don’t stretch, I don’t wear a splint when I sleep, I don’t ice and I haven’t bought better shoes. I’ve basically been living in denial and limp-inducing pain for months.

A physical therapist called me out over the weekend, though, forcing me to admit that I have a problem. My name is Danielle, and I have PF. The road to recovery begins today!

Peace out.

Editor, As a resident in the Village of Mt. Carmel for 41 years, I feel well positioned to spot an ongoing pattern.

Several times a year, and every year going back to 1978, we face power outages. These occur at all times of the day or night, last from a minute to seven-plus hours and often are not weather related.

These maddening disruptions typically are limited to the 600-plus homes in the Village of Mt. Carmel grid. I am always reminded of this as I sit stewing in the dark while my backyard neighbor in Springmill Crossing can be observed in his cozy, well-lit kitchen sipping coffee.

When I have called Duke Energy to seek a reason for the latest outage, the excuses range from squirrels eating wire insulation to vehicles taking out power poles to overheating transformers.

As the most recent 50-minute outage on Nov. 12 reflects, with temps hovering at a frosty 11 degrees, it is clear that this problem continues.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what next steps can be taken to finally resolve this nagging concern?

Richard Place, Carmel

YARDVARKSLAWNCARE.COM Yardvarks...doing a common thing uncommonly well!

Editor, The past few years, my company has enjoyed an influx of talent from the coasts of our country to our office here in the Midwest. Super-talented men and women have agreed to move their families from diverse coastal cities to Indiana, and it has been exciting seeing the exchange of ideas and experiences inspire change and innovation.

Over time, I have become privy to the microaggressions, or subtle or unintentional discrimination, (the new residents) have experienced while looking for housing and acclimating to our city. One friend was confronted by an older white-haired woman at a gas station in January and asked why “you people don’t keep your cars clean.” Another friend was exploring model homes in a gated west Carmel neighborhood and the sales associate created an awkward experience

talking about the security guard looking like Obama, the unavailability of the builder to meet with them and showing clear reluctance to close the deal. Three of our new team members visited this community and had the same experience.

I love Carmel, and I believe you are feeling the same mix of surprise, sadness and shame I felt hearing these things. We are generous and welcoming. Except when we’re not. So, how do we get better? By making a choice every day to be an ally (someone who doesn’t identify as a member of a minority group but seeks to understand their experiences) to minority groups through personal connection, awareness and a willingness to speak up.

We can absolutely affect change within our individual scope of influence when we point out bad behavior and say it’s not OK. Carrie Maynard, Carmel

Burst of energy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I obsess about how my lawn compares to others on my block. I noticed some bare spots HUMOR this past summer, so I addressed the issue on a trip to a local nursery. Then at the Labor Day get-together, people were discussing Joe’s yard, which was suffering from the same problem. I thought, “There, but for the grace of sod, go I (that was a long way to travel for a joke, I know).”

Now, I have a new challenge to obsess over. It began with a letter from my electric company. The envelope looked like it contained my monthly utility bill, but the contents were far more ominous. The page was titled, “Last Three Months – Neighbor Comparison.”

I scanned the enclosed printout only to learn that I was consuming more energy than those identified by the electric company as, “Your Most Efficient Neighbors.” I felt so exposed that I closed the curtains and turned off the eleven lights, three TVs and two computers I had left on the night before.

The electric company claims I used 40 percent more electricity than my most efficient neighbor. Who was this person? Which house did he live in? It didn’t say. Was he hiding in the shadows? I’ll never know, because there are no shadows when there are never any lights on.

I asked my neighbor Ted if he received a similar letter. Ted is a nice

superstar.”

“Every kilowatt counts,” Ted told me while we were standing in his driveway. “If I never close that overhead door, I can save $1.49 a year.” He asked what I was doing to conserve resources at home. I was tired of the discussion, so I told him I only shower once a month. Ted walked back into the garage…and down came the door.

The idea that someone is monitoring what goes on in and around my home is creepy. Whenever I look outside, strange people are reading my meters, putting colored lines on my neighbors’ lawns, installing invisible fences and looking through tiny telescopes mounted on yellow tripods.

Despite this, I really am going to try to do my part in this conservation initiative. I’m going to charge my iPad in the car, disconnect my clock radio when I’m not home and make toast only when absolutely necessary. The competition is rigorous to be No. 1 in the neighborhood, but I’m not worried. I don’t plan on expending much energy.

Brenda Armie has always been a lover of crafts.

“I love making things, Christmas and birthday presNOW OPEN ents,” Armie said. “I was in technology for the last nine years at Guerin Catholic High School and I decided it was time for a change. I went to one of these types of crafting places. I went to see if there were any franchises and AR Workshop came up.”

Armie decided she wanted to open the shop and teach classes.

A Noblesville resident, Armie opened AR Workshop Carmel — a doit-yourself studio with classes for making custom home decor from raw materials — with her husband, Jeff.

The store is at 14643 Gray Rd. in Westfield, on the Carmel border. The store couldn’t be called AR Workshop Westfield because there is already a store by the same name in Westfield, N.J.

The AR Workshop franchise is the first in Indiana. The AR name is derived from the last names of co-founders Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff.

“I was looking for something different and this was it, especially when I went on the website,” Armie said.

“They coordinate everything so well.”

With the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo fast approaching, Carmel Swim Club wants to be ready.

“Every year after the FITNESS Olympics, it excites people to swim,” Carmel Swim Club head coach/CEO Chris Plumb said. “We want to provide an outreach and have all kinds of people learn how to swim.”

That will get a little easier with a CSC training pool as part of a planned expansion at Carmel Total Fitness, 820 City Center Dr. Daniel Klausner and Scott Visser co-own the gym, which they acquired in 2006 and renamed. Klausner is the owner of the real estate and developer of the project. Visser is the operating manager.

Klausner said the expansion to the west of the building will add 11,500 square feet. There will be two businesses operating in the space, Indy Spine and Rehab and Carmel Swim Club.

“It’s working with two other businesses that want to build health and wellness,” Visser said. “The benefit we can offer of everything in one place is going to be huge.”

Klausner said they will make some improvements to the gym as well.

Along with the training pool, Carmel Swim Club plans to establish its corporate headquarters at the site.

The goal is to have the pool ready by November 2020.

“We’re in a bit of a rush because Indy Spine wants to be here as soon as possible, as does Carmel Swim

Club,” Klausner said.

Klausner said plans will be presented to Carmel’s zoning board in December.

Plumb, who also coaches the Carmel High School boys and girls swimming teams, said the additional pool will help with the club’s ability to teach younger athletes how to swim.

“It will ease the space at our current pool by moving the younger kids over to this pool,” Plumb said. “We see it as a 10-and-under pool for our club and also providing opportunities for master swimmers during the day.”

Bran Watters, a chiropractic physician at Indy Spine and Rehab, said his group already works closely with Carmel Total Fitness and Carmel Swim Club.

“It’s going to be good access,” he said. “We’ve been around this area, and I’ve always kind of eyed the area that this would be a good spot.”

Watters said there are four chiropractic physicians in the office, currently at 40 Executive Dr., Suite E, with plans to add a fifth in January 2020.

“We’re expanding, so we needed more space,” Watters said.

Young actors take on key roles in ‘A Christmas Story’ at Beef & Boards

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s hard to miss “A Christmas Story,” a 1983 movie which has been on a 24-hour marathon THEATER loop on TBS starting each Christmas Eve since 1997.

However, the musical, which made its Broadway debut in 2012, is not quite as well known.

“The movie is a holiday favorite, for sure. I haven’t seen the musical, but I’ve watched about every YouTube clip there is out there,” Ben Kistner said. “I especially like the Tony Awards performance.”

Kistner, a Zionsville West Middle School seventh-grader, plays the lead character of Ralphie in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Story,” Nov. 21 to Dec. 31. Ralphie is a 9-year-old who is trying to convince his parents to buy him a BB gun for Christmas, “It was the role I was definitely most hoping for, but would’ve just been happy to be in the show,” he said. “I like that he’s just a normal kid that I can relate to.”

Kistner said one challenge is he often has to express his feelings without words.

“The narrator describes a lot of what I’m doing rather than me saying what I’m doing,” he said.

Kistner performed as Michael Banks in “Mary Poppins” at Civic Theatre in 2018.

“Ralphie is just as big a part but has a lot more singing than speaking,” he said. “That’s a challenge I’m really looking forward to.”

Fender Brokamp, a second-grader at Westfield’s Monon Trail Elementary, plays Ralphie’s younger brother, Randy.

“It’s fun being Randy,” Brokamp

said. “I love the scene where I put the big winter coat on. We do a pyramid and I sing with my arms out because I still have my coat on.”

Brokamp, 8, appeared in Christian Youth Theater’s “Lion King Jr.” and Jr. Civic Theatre’s “Shrek The Musical Jr.” in 2019.

Westfield Intermediate School sixth-grader Jack Clark plays Flick.

“I like that I get to have my tongue stuck to a flagpole while I sing,” Clark said. “There is a lot of dancing and choreography, so there is more memorization involved.

I’m in a lot of the dance numbers, which means I have to push myself harder.”

Clark, who made his Beef & Boards debut as Flounder in “The Little Mermaid” earlier this year, said he was familiar with the musical version because he auditioned for the national tour of “A Christmas Story” in New York last year.

For Zionsville West seventh-grader Austin Lizama, his role of a bully isn’t typecasting. Lizama will play Scut Farkus.

“My friends and family think I’m

nice, so they were surprised when they found out I’m playing a bully,” Lizama said. “However, other actors have told me it’s really fun to play a mean character. Plus, this will be my first professional musical I’ve been in with Beef & Boards Dinner Theater, so having the ability to work with very talented children and adult actors is sure to be a fun ride.”

Lizama has never played an antagonistic role before. The same is true for Dylan Acquaviva, a fourth-grader at Union Elementary in Zionsville, who plays Farkus’ sidekick, Grover Dill.

“One of the fun things about acting is getting to play parts that are very different from my own personality,” Acquaviva said. “One challenge is getting into my role of being mean. It’s so different than my normal self that it’s hard not to laugh sometimes.”

Zionsville Middle School seventh-grader Claire Kauffman is returning for her third show at Beef & Boards.

Kauffman plays Esther Jane.

‘Bye Bye Birdie’ at Creekside

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Creekside Middle School’s Ryan Poziviak, the best part about portraying his character MUSICAL in “Bye Bye Birdie” is it’s the opposite of his own personality.

“It’s fun to be outgoing and do whatever I want,” Poziviak said of playing fictional rock star Conrad Birdie. “My favorite song is ‘A Lot of Livin’ to Do,’ because of the message of it.

It’s all what my character is about.”

Creekside is presenting three performances Nov. 21 to 23 at the Carmel school. The shows are at 7 p.m. Nov. 21-22 and 2 p.m. Nov. 23.

The musical, set in 1958, was inspired by Elvis Presley receiving a draft notice into the U.S. Army.

Evan Peacock plays Albert Peterson, who writes songs for Birdie. At his girlfriend’s urging, he writes “One Last Kiss” for Birdie to sing to one of his fan club members on “The Ed Sulli-

Dance team finds success

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A quartet of Carmel elementary school students proved to be a quick study.

ACHIEVEMENT The four dancers from Indianapolis Chinese Performing Arts Inc.’s Little Flower Dance Group performed “Little Girls Picking Mushrooms” and won a Gold Award for their age group and Most Energetic Award for all age groups at the Taoli World Dance Competition Oct. 19 in Chicago.

Team members are West Clay third-grader Liya Yi, Prairie Trace third-grader Prudence Peng, Towne Meadow second-grader Grace Liu and College Wood second-grader Jessica Zhao.

“Because the quartet was formed in September, the girls totally committed to the six-week intensive, twohour daily practice, never made one complaint, all because of their love of dancing,” said Xiaonan Chu, mother

of Lui. Ninety-three teams from seven states and two provinces from Canada competed.

Young said most of the girls have had approximately 1 1/2 years of dance lessons and their technical skills are not as solid as other teams.

“However, I think the judges appreciate the girls’ pure joy from dancing and capability of being great storytellers,” Yeung said.

Tina Magnusson was the group’s dance coach.

Blueprint for Improvement: New great room and porch Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The new great room has 560 square feet of additional living space – plenty of room for the family’s piano and ample space for visiting with family and friends.

2. The double-sided fireplace connects the new great room to the new screened-in porch 3. Beautiful wood flooring seamlessly connects the kitchen and great room.

4. Outside, a stamped concrete floor and stacked stone fireplace create a cozy retreat.

5. The kitchen also was remodeled during the process.

THE CHALLENGE This 1972 home is in Indianapolis’ Pickwick Commons neighborhood.

Like many homes from that time, it had a tri-level floorplan that lacked extra living space. The homeowners wanted to extend their home’s footprint beyond the kitchen by adding a great room and a new screened-in porch.

A brief history of Rome’s Circus Maximus Commentary by Don Knebel Rome’s Colosseum is famous as the place where gladiators often fought to their deaths. It was proceeded by the much larger Circus TRAVEL Maximus a few thousand feet to the southwest.

Perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., Roman authorities created a track for chariot races in the flood-prone Murcia Valley between Rome’s Aventine and Palatine Hills. The oblong track was about 2,000 feet long and 400 feet wide. Twelve staggered starting gates at one end allowed the simultaneous release of 12 chariot teams onto the sand-covered track. As time went by, wild beast hunts, gladiator fights and public executions drew more and more spectators to the Circus Maximus, or Greatest Circus, some of whom watched from wooden seats along sections of the perimeter. Roman senators watched from stone seats along one turn. Early in the first century B.C., Emperor Pompey staged a wildly popular fight between captured gladiators and 20 elephants. In about 50 B.C., to accommodate the growing crowds, Julius Caesar added seats to accommodate an estimated 150,000 people. The seats were damaged by the great fire of Rome in 64 A.D., leading Emperor Trajan to rebuild the area sur-

rounding the track in stone in about 100 A.D. Competition from the Colosseum and the Stadium of Domitian, both built in the first century A.D., led to the abandonment of Circus Maximus, which held its last chariot race in 549 A.D. The entire site was eventually buried under accumulating sand and debris and partially excavated beginning in the 16th century. Today, the site of Circus Maximus, much of it still buried, is a public park, used for concerts and other public events and again drawing huge

crowds. During the Rolling Stones’ 2014 world tour, they played before more than 70,000 fans at the place where Romans once cheered as gladiators died.

Get in the next-to-last word Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt If a potato can become vodka, then you can become a bonafide word nerd. The tools GRAMMAR GUY and tips I give you are meant to be used for good; please don’t gloat your grammar greatness over anyone; rather, use it to lift everyone up. I’m about to share a word with you that will make everyone at the white tie-optional gala assume you’re the king or queen of some distant, exotic land.

I’m talking about the word “penultimate.” Although this sounds like a million-dollar word, it simply means “next-to-last” or “second-to-last.” It’s as simple as that. So, if you ate the “penultimate Oreo,” that would mean you ate the next-to-last Oreo in the package. If you are reading the 19th chapter in a 20-chapter book, you are reading the book’s penultimate chapter.

Allow me to put on my horn-rimmed grammar nerd glasses for a second.

The term “penult” is a noun that means the next-to-last syllable in a word. The penult in the word “automobile” is “mo.” Now you know that!

Certainly, I’m not going to up the ante and share an even nerdier-yet-related word, am I? Yes, I am: antepenultimate. Antepenultimate refers to the third to last item in a series, or the next-tonext-to-last thing. Going back to our 20-chapter book: If Chapter 19 is the penultimate chapter, that means Chapter 18 is the antepenultimate chapter. If we break down the Latin meanings for each part of the word, we’d get “before” (ante) “almost” (pen) and “last” (ultimate). Antepenultimate is the thing that comes before the almost last thing.
