Lawrence Lawmakers Central names wear sneakers new football for awareness coach news@geistcurrent.com

Lawrence Central High School announced Feb. 12 the hiring of a new varsity head football coach, John Rodenberg.

Rodenberg comes to LC from sports Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, where he served as the head coach from 2008 to 2017. In 2012 and 2013, he led Moeller to back-to-back Division I state championships. His teams appeared eight times in the OHSAA Division I playoffs. He has coached multiple players who have gone on to play for NCAA Division I, II and III football teams.

Prior to his time at Moeller, Rodenberg was Rodenberg head football coach at Roger Bacon High School (Cincinnati), Covington Catholic High School (Park Hills, Ky.), and Archbishop McNicholas High School (Cincinnati). In 2006, he led Covington Catholic to a KSHAA 3A state championship.

“I am honored to welcome coach Rodenberg as the next leader of our football program. He is driven to continue to win at the highest level,” Lawrence Central Athletic Director Ryan Banas stated in a press release. “He is a three-time state champion, and his relationships with college programs are extensive. Coach Rodenberg will honor our district values of achievement, integrity and service and will be a role model for our student-athletes.”

Rodenberg attended the University of Cincinnati, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise sciences. His earned his teaching certificate in health education and physical education from Xavier University. His wife, Sue, is a pharmacist. They have two children.

Son, Jimmy, is a strength coach at the University of Cincinnati, and daughter, Maria, is a fourth-year medical student in orthopedics at the University of Cincinnati.

“I couldn’t be more excited about coming to Lawrence Central and having the opportunity to coach in one of the top leagues in the country,” Rodenberg stated. “It was the commitment from administration to develop great student athletics that drew me to the program.”

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

Fishers resident and Ball State University senior Josh Heideman is nonprofit learning how to combat the global water crisis during his internship with Filter of Hope.

FOH provides household water filters for impoverished families worldwide.

“I took a trip to Haiti with Campus Crusade for Christ, and they decided to partner with Filter of Hope for the trip,” Heideman said. “I was incredibly impressed with the organization and how they are truly impacting a hurting world. I contacted one of the supervisors with FOH and asked how I could get involved. That’s how I became an intern.”

During his internship, he raised more than $4,000 by reaching out to local busiJosh Heideman in Haiti, nesses, churches where he spent time with and organizations Campus Crusade for Christ. in Muncie and (Submitted photo) Fishers.

“It costs FOH $40 to manufacture a filter,” Heideman said. “The cool thing is that when someone donates $40, they are directly buying a filter for a family in a Third Worldnation, which is incredible. I was able to provide 100 filters from the money I raised.”

He personally delivered 20 filters during a trip to the Dominican Republic.

“It really opened my eyes to how little some people in the world actually have,” Heideman said. “In America, we have so much convenience, amenities and technology, and then you see so much of the world that has so little. You recognize how blessed you truly are to have really basic needs of human survival.”

Heideman was grateful for the opportunity to work with the nonprofit.

“I know in the future I would love to do nonprofit work,” he said. “This is something to allow me to dip my toes in the water and get a taste of what it’s like working for a nonprofit.”

Teacher Amy Lovell explains inherited traits, like straight and not straight pinky fingers, to students during one of her STEM classes.

supporting stem Mt. Vernon School Corp. makes academic, staff changes to further integrate STEM initiatives

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com This year, Mt. Vernon Community School Corp.’s curriculum has cover story seen changes after administrators said they heard the clear call from STEM-related industries that they need a larger workforce pool for the future.

The integration of science, technology, engineering and math isn’t new to the district, but its dedication to putting a stronger focus on those areas of study has increased with the hiring of three full-time STEM teachers across its three elementary schools and at Mt. Vernon Middle School.

Also included are the addition of an elementary-level weekly specials class entirely for STEM, which the district’s third-, fourthand fifth-grade students rotate through weekly with physical education, art, music and library time.

Amy Lovell and Kathy Tingwald both were teachers for the district prior to this school year, but both made the switch to become solely STEM teachers in the fall. Lovell teaches primarily at Mt. Comfort Elementary and Tingwald primarily at Fortville Elementary. Both split time at McCordsville Elementary to teach STEM classes there.

“The district had this position open, and at the end of last school year, I started thinking about making the change. It was time to try something new and different, so I decided to try it,” Lovell said. “It’s been

fun to see the different grade levels and have all the different students. Sometimes, when I have extra time, I’ll pull in other grade levels as well, like a kindergarten class.”

Using the national Project Lead the Way curriculum, topics range from week to week and class to class based on its four strands – one computer science, one biomedical and two engineering.

“With our Project Lead the Way curriculum, we usually have some investigating first, and then we jump into some real-life problems from there,” said Tingwald, who previously taught first grade full time at Fortville Elementary and has taught with the district for 11 years. “It’s fun because it gets everybody on the same page and levels the playing field, so to speak.”

“For example, right now we’re working on a module called ‘Variation of Traits,’ so the students are going to learn about what makes them unique, how traits work and how they inherited traits from their parents,” said Lovell, who has taught with the district for 19 years, primarily as a fourth-grade teacher at Mt. Comfort. “We also just finished a module on flight in third grade. Fourth grade just finished one on collisions, dealing with potential and kinetic energy as well as a computer science module that deals with coding and computers.

“Fifth-graders are working on a biomedical module called ‘Infection Detection,’ learning how their immune system works, and then there are another couple of classes doing robotics.”

Lovell and Tingwald completed two days of training during the summer to become certified in teaching the Project Lead the Way curriculum.

“There has definitely been a learning curve,” Lovell said. “It is fun to see how the students think about how they could make their project better with additional supplies or further changes. Some students who normally are reserved in class do not hesitate to try things in our STEM classes and actually thrive in this environment.”

Each elementary school also has a robotics club thanks to a grant from TechPoint Foundation for Youth, an organization funded by Googenheim Life and Annuity Company and other organizations.

Through the grant, the elementary schools received a robot for each of their clubs.

A third teacher, Brenda Shoenlein, also was hired to teach robotics to eighthgraders at Mt. Vernon Middle School. In the first part of the school year, her class focused on engineering projects and began with a catapult, where students learned how to make the objects fly better by analyzing the results in weight, drag, tension changes and aerodynamics. “(Teaching) STEM is relatively new, and the state has really embraced it and made it something that is much more of an initiative by saying to the schools, ‘OK, let’s really dive into this,” Tingwald said. “These are 21st-century skills that we want to instill in the kids, and if I can get the kids started and energized, then when they get up to the high school level, it gives them a stronger base.”

building a makerspace Changes and shift toward STEM also are continuing at Mt. Vernon High School, where a makerspace is being developed for students to build physical modules for various classes.

For example, an English or social studies teacher might request a visual project to go with a paper. The makerspace will serve as a collaborative room filled with art, craft and hardware supplies to inspire DIY projects. The makerspace also will offer a 3-D printer for students to create modules, and possibly a sewing machine or woodworking tools.

becoming certified Mt. Vernon Community School Corp. officials said their efforts to advance STEM initiatives are an approach to pursuing a district-wide STEM certification from the Indiana Dept. of Education, a process that starts with a self-evaluation, application and rubric to measure implementation.

The IDOE states, “Schools are chosen to receive certification based on their commitment to teaching the STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math throughout the entire school. STEM Certified Schools exemplify a highly non-traditional approach to education, employing a great deal of inquiry, project-based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student-centered classrooms, integration into humanities and related arts, and out-of-school STEM activities.

STEM Certified Schools accomplish this while following educational policies set by the state and excelling under the system of accountability.”

Scary trips to the devil’s commode

o b s e r v a tion What will they think?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Grandmother always reminded us to keep our business to ourselves. Don’t air our soiled skivvies for all to see. And most of all, behave like the neighbors are watching. Perhaps we might think the constraint a bit too harsh for our modern lives. But, it did tend to emphasize the rightful difference between the public forum and a private life. We learned, rather clumsily at times, how to negotiate what is correct to discuss at the dinner table and yet not suitable for the same table in a neighborhood restaurant.

Come now this time of social media and the instant news cycle to make identifying this imagined line even a much greater challenge. The quaint, if not a bit prudish, admonishment to behave well in public seems decidedly on its way out. Off-handed comments are recorded, clipped and used in all manner of unintended ways. Challenging our suppositions in the company of others is imperative to human flourishing.

So, if we edit ourselves so that there is no private space, where do we explore our notions?

A nearby large city council has been in the news of late. It seems that there are some leadership struggles. Moreover, a pair of its members have been accused of heinous predatory acts against children. We should know about these machinations and take great care in dispensing with them.

But even as central Indiana joins in pursuit of an Amazon headquarters investment, what message are we sending? Can we find a way to fight our battles without vilifying each other? Or is honesty always the best policy? What do the neighbors think?

And, should we care?

It’s official. Our master bathroom toilet has become a portal to hell. And I’m not just saying this because the humor bottom is stained and partially corroded by hard water, impervious to scrubbing, Cloroxing and even CLRing. Nor is this charge the result of postDoo-use brimstone stench, which luckily “Poo-Pourri” and Lysol handle quite nicely.

No, our commode is a gateway to Hades thanks to a motion-activated nightlight that makes the water emanate an eerie green glow. Courtesy of Doo’s co-workers who thought it’d make a hilarious birthday gift, I now face the prospect of evil incarnate at every 2 a.m. lavatory visit.

And the experience is rather disturbing, actually, because each time the toilet “turns on,” it’s as if Satan himself is rising from the depths. So, there I sit, illuminated in all my natural glory, thinking, “If the girl from the Ring tries to crawl out of here, I’m done.”

One positive effect, though, has been the reduction of midnight mishaps, like tripping over shoes and running into walls. Before the highway to hell light, navigating my way to the pot meant carefully placed footsteps and arms held out straight. But now that the devil can sense my presence as soon as I cross the threshold, all I have to do is follow the beautiful, alluring luminosity of my porcelain throne.

Anyhoo, I guess the point is, if something odd or terrible should happen to me, check our master bathroom first. I mean, if the Amityville Horror family could have a well in their basement to welcome Beelzebub, it just seems fitting that we Wilsons would have a john.

Peace out.

READER ’ S V I E W Stay-at-home parenting a blessing Editor, I am responding to Danielle Wilson’s column last week, entitled “Those were the (exhausting) days,” in which she commented on the long, hard days of having young children. I am currently a stay-at-home parent, after leaving my job in academic medicine a few months ago.

After juggling 80-hour work weeks and two kids under 2, I longed to be able to actually see my children for more than an hour a day. I yearned to be able to spend time with them.

In Wilson’s column, she instructs the readers to “offer words of condolences or assistance; or a bottle of scotch” to a mom if you see her in the dairy aisle with a cart full of kiddos. I used to work in a children’s hospital. I looked into the eyes of parents of critically ill children every day. They would give anything to be grappling their children in the dairy aisle. My toughest day with my children could never compare to the suffering and heartache those parents feel.

She also references looking forward to her “5 p.m. goblet of Pinot.” At the medical center, I also worked with children of alcoholics and opiate-addicted parents.

For this column to imply that parents of

young children need scotch or pinot to get through the day is sad and insulting to the career of parenting. It is also giving validation to a culture of turning to substances to deal with challenges.

Deciding to be a stay-at-home parent for the time being has been a huge blessing and privilege. I am very aware that many people are not given this “choice,” and that many other people would rather not do it. I find great meaning in the simple time spent reading or talking with my young children. Our community of Carmel has great resources for parents of young children: Daily library story times, countless churches with MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) groups, award-winning preschools, numerous toddler programs at the Monon Community Center and wonderful toddler music programs at The Palladium. Instead of groaning and wishing this time away until we can “ship (our) angels off to school,” let’s celebrate this special time and support parents of young children in positive and healthy ways. These infants and toddlers are the future of our community, and we get the privilege to watch them grow. I would rather not be drunk for that.

Remembering ‘Big John’s’ voice Commentary by Dick Wolfsie For the past several years, I had the pleasure of reading my syndicated weekly humor column on WFYI radio. I humor was listening to some old audio files and realized that, like so many other people, I don’t like the sound of my recorded voice. This reminded me of a dear friend I wrote about five years ago when he passed away, a man who really did have a voice for radio.

John Gillis was as tall as a grizzly bear but as gentle as a teddy bear. The 40-year veteran of Indiana broadcasting was an iconic figure whose loyal followers looked up to him.

“I guess being 6-foot-4 helps,” he joked.

Each word that tumbled off John’s tongue was not only meticulously chosen, but it was savored by listeners for still another nanosecond before he went on to the next.

“His 60-second traffic reports,” said longtime associate Jeff Pigeon at John’s funeral, “lasted about eight minutes.”

John once remarked: “I have 20 seconds to do what I have to do, read a sponsor’s name, and then if I can figure out a way to

twist a word or inject my personality into it, that’s it — I’m a disembodied voice, and every 10 minutes I stop what I am doing and talk to my imaginary friends.”

Radio was John’s best friend.

“Everywhere you travel, it’s there. It takes you places immediately. It exercises your imagination,” he said.

John regretted how media was changing.

“We went high-tech and lost the high touch,” he told me. “Radio should be about content, character and personality.”

“Big John” had many opportunities to leave the Indianapolis market and pursue a more lucrative career. That was not in his flight plan. His job was on the air and in the air, but his feet were on the ground. He loved Indianapolis. He was wedded to WIBC. Why break up a happy marriage?

Lakehouse out, Wolfie’s in

Scott and Nyla Wolf buy popular restaurant space on Geist

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com On Valentine’s Day, Scott and Nyla Wolf, owners and operators of Wolfie’s Grill & Italian House, announced their purchase of The Lakehouse at Geist restaurant, 11699 Fall Creek Rd., formerly Bella Vita at the Marina. The restaurant is set to become the fifth Wolfie’s Grill.

The Wolfs own and operate five restaurants, including Wolfie’s Grills in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield and The Italian House in Westfield.

“When Nyla and I opened our first location on Morse Reservoir (in 2004), we wanted Wolfie’s to be a restaurant that

combined our love for nature, sports and good food,” Scott said. “Thousands of chicken wings and nearly 15 years later, we’re excited to get back to our roots and put another Wolfie’s location on the water.”

The couple said in the coming months, the restaurant will undergo extensive renovation to bring its familiar atmosphere to the reservoir.

“From the beginning, it’s been important that each Wolfie’s location feels like home to all of our customers,” Nyla said. “It’s our intent to continue to highlight Geist as an amenity for our customers, so there will be ample parking for boats right on the lake and entertainment throughout the summer

ATI presents ‘Lillian Baxter & Friends’

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkinl@youarecurrent.com “Dressing in drag isn’t something I necessarily enjoy,” singer-actor John Vessels said. “Gluing on false concert eye lashes is like gluing on giant spiders.

And the padding? I don’t have the right kind of Vessels curves. It takes a lot of scaffolding to make me look like a woman.

“It’s a lot of work.”

But it comes with the job. And it’s probably not what you are thinking.

“Lillian Baxter is a lady all the way,” Vessels said. “She’s not a drag queen.

They’re a little different in that Lillian is a nice lady.”

Lillian Baxter, aka John Vessels, and three other “nice ladies” – totally females – will present the world premiere of “Lillian Baxter & Friends: We Enjoy Being a Girl” at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The Actors Theatre of Indiana shows will be at 7:30 p.m. March 9 and 10.

Vessels describes the show as a “revusical” – part revue, part musical.

“The show has a girl-power theme set in 1976, so wear your wide-legged pants,” Vessels said. “It’s a concert, a cabaret, with loads of comedy and lots of reminiscing about the good ol’ days.”

Supporting Baxter are the fictional vaudeville Humperdink Sisters, friends

from Baxter’s showbiz past, and pianist Corky Weinstopper, Baxter’s third and favorite of her seven ex-husbands. A gay partner with Baxter’s pool boy, Weinstopper wears elegant pajamas when he plays.

Weinstopper is actually Jay Schwandt, Vessels’ real-life partner who also arranges the music for all of the shows.

The Humperdink sisters are all local – ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia

John Vessels plays as Lillian Baxter.

Collins and special events and entertainment coordinator for the Indiana State Fair Commission, Bobbi Bates – all standout vocalists.

“The twist on our show is that the sisters haven’t realized they are not little girls anymore,” Vessels said. “They are trying to find their grown-up voices.”

Vessels created Lillian as a has-been MGM movie star. Actually, he “stole” it from himself after he originally had set out to write the show for a female singer. Then one day, Schwandt asked Vessels if he thought the character could be played by a man.

“Oh, maybe,” was Vessels’ response. “Then what we found out along the way was that I could sing in the same key as an Irish tenor and an old belter from the MGM days and Julie Andrews. I could sing in the old belter keys, so we wrapped the first show (there are now three) around that. From there I just made her up.”

The final character was a mediocre 1950s-60s performer during the days at MGM, who advanced to a short TV career on such hit shows as the “Thrifty Vittles Happy-Time Song Hour.” Despite her failure to reach real stardom, that never stopped her from spinning her tales with never-ending pride and joy.

“She is a classy dame, no matter the circumstance,” said Vessels, a familiar face on the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage.

What Vessels likes most about portraying Baxter is the reaction he gets from the audience.

“The crowds have been really, really responsive,” he said. “The shows are funny, but there’s also a lesson to be learned and a little heart to each show that kind of surprises the audience. When that dawns on them, well, watching that light come on thrills me.”

Wright’s book signing set editorial@youarecurrent.com Camel resident Tim Wright will have a book signing for “The Valley Boys,” from noon to 4 p.m. March 10 at Coats Wright Fine Art & Design in the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd., Suite 122.

The book is available through Lulu Publishing at lulu.com . For more, visit wtimothywright.com.

“Tim Wright weaves the story of how this unusually successful basketball season brought two towns together,” former Milan star Bobby Plump said in a press release.

“People told me they thought the days of the ‘David vs. Goliath’ Indiana tournament basketball games could never happen again. But only four years later, here comes little Springs Valley to the state tournament Final Four.”

At 75, Ronnie Milsap has no plans of slowing down.

“I’m always in the middle concert of one ( a tour),” Milsap said.

“I wouldn’t know how to stop.”

Milsap will perform in his “A Legend in My Time Tour” at The Palladium, the Center For the Performing Arts in Carmel at 8 p.m. March 2. Milsap will perform all of his fan favorites, including crossover country “Smoky Mountain Rain,” “There’s No Gettin’ Over Me,” “What a Difference You’ve Made in My Life” and “It Was Almost Like a Song.”

“They’re all special for different reasons,” Milsap said. “They’re like children. They all have their little story to tell, how I found a song, did I work with a songwriter or was it sent to me.”

Milsap is enjoying performing as much as ever.

“I have a wonderful band, a wonderful crew,” he said. “It’s very exciting times for me. I really love it. The audience plays a big role in that. Their enthusiasm makes me perform better. I love playing these per-

Milsap, who has been performing for more than 50 years, has sold more than 35 million albums and had 40 No. 1 country hits.

“Probably the one that gets the most response is still ‘Stranger in My House.’ That record was No. 1 in Australia for 13 weeks in a row,” he said.

The legendary performer is working on a new album and plans to have it out later this year.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modernized Meridian-Kessler kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This 1920s home is in the historic Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. The owners have been in this beautiful home for many years with the intent to make it their “forever home.” It just needed a few updates to make it perfect home for them!

The main focus of the kitchen remodel was to open up the space and make it function better for the owner while creating a cohesive design that flows nicely with the rest of the home.

1. One of the largest changes came from enlarging the footprint of the kitchen by expanding into the butler’s pantry. This created more space in the kitchen and allowed for better flow.

2. Another major change came from replacing all of the cabinetry and countertops, in addition to adding a built-in island for counter space.

3. The backsplash was replaced with a traditional white subway tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and a stainless steel rangehood was added above the stove, giving the space a modern yet traditional look.

4. For more details, visit out blog!

After

Before problems The kitchen was not only dated but lacked overall functionality. It was very small and connected to the rest of the home by two narrow doorways. The lack of open space made it hard to utilize the kitchen to its full potentional.
