As outdoor sand volleyball courts open, mayor talks business of sports

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Andy Cook often says the City of Westfield doesn’t have oceans or mountains to attract citizens. Yet, the city has added sand volleyball courts to its COVER STORY list of amenities.

Westfield resident Katie Conner has played volleyball recreationally and professionally and has brought her expertise, accompanied by 900 tons of sand, to Westfield. Conner recently opened iBeach31, which is comprised of six outdoor sand volleyball courts, at 17341 Westfield Park Rd. She plans to acquire the adjacent facility occupied by the Indiana Soccer Academy to create four indoor sand volleyball courts within her first year of operation.

FEET IN THE SAND

Next year, the facility plans to host AVPFirst and AVPNext tournaments, which would bring competitors from the professional beach volleyball network and potentially hundreds of spectators to the city. But Conner said the goal of iBeach31 goes deeper than bringing the pros to Westfield.

“The misconception is people feel you have to be an elite player, but a majority of our business is run off of recreation and social play,” Conner said. “It’s really just to pull the community together to be active, get their feet in the sand and have fun.”

There are a few other sand courts in central Indiana, but Conner said iBeach31 is the only full-service venue providing recreational and social play as well as youth clinics and camps. The facility opened April 13, and Conner said 100 kids are already signed up for summer youth camps.

THE BUSINESS OF SPORTS

iBeach31 is not the first private-sector, sports-related business to seek out Westfield as its home. Pro X Athlete Development will soon break ground on a multi-million dol-

JOIN A LEAGUE Besides offering multiple youth leagues, clinics and camps, iBeach31 also offers adult beach volleyball leagues. Owner Katie Conner said volleyball experience is not required to join a league.

“This is a new, really neat sport that everyone can play. My goal is to really make it a community-type of atmosphere,” she said.

Adult leagues include Coed 6s, Coed 4s, Coed 2s, Men’s 4s and Women’s 4s. Prices begin at $66 per player with six weeks of regular-season play and a one-week playoff.

Other beach sports, like beach soccer and Frisbee, also will be offered.

lar sports facility near Grand Park. No tax abatements were offered to either development, and Cook said he wants to attract the private-sector sports industry through creating a sports culture at Grand Park.

“What those (iBeach31 and Pro X) have in common is they all are 100 percent private entities that are investing in Westfield because of the sports environment, and that is exactly what we want to have happen,” Cook said. “Part of our business plan is that the private sector will invest in the sports industry because of the sports environment that we’ve created.”

Cook also applauded Conner on her creative use of space with six outdoor courts. “(iBeach31) is economic development, but it’s also spur-

ring creativity,” Cook said. “These are the kinds of things that will help people come here, keep them here and spend dollars here. She’s creative with not only the space, but the kinds of offerings she has.”

Cook knows those offerings not only service local youth in the community but also could attract tournaments that would in turn bring more visitors to the city.

“Their business model could expand to not only serve local citizens, but with proper facilities and promotion, who knows, we may have some traveling volleyball tournaments,” Cook said. “We already have the hospitality infrastructure in place to serve such.”

Surviving my annual headache

O B S E R V AT I O N

Evening in Paris

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It was an Evening in Paris. This time the City of Lights dutifully was replicated in the Culinary Arts Center on Ivy Tech’s bustling Indianapolis Campus. Replete with the Eifel Tower, tasty treats, comfy cafes and a noted cabaret singer (thanks to local standout talent Gail Payne), the festive nature of the event belied the intentionality of the cause underlying it.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the gala funds study-abroad opportunities for culinary students to both the storied French capital and to its vaunted surrounding farms, wineries and producers. Home to and originators of some of the finest and best-produced food in the accumulation of western culture, the student travelers are steeped in the techniques and trades that bring life to the notable comforting provincial and elegant urban menus.

Still, it may be the more existential effects of the trip that leave the longest impression. Many of the explorers will have never before possessed a passport, flown on an airplane, or even left the safe confines of central Indiana. While in Provence, sitting around the kitchen table listening to a farmer extol the virtues of his fromage, do those assembled learn as much about themselves, and the world in which they live, as they do about the nuanced distinction between the diets of the cows to produce the raw milk for the product?

Can it be that Ivy Tech Community College, and its many supporters, are opening eyes at the very same time they are pleasing palates? If we find that we have access to a new world, food or otherwise, don’t we take a bit more ownership in it?

READER’S VIEW Janus thanks Current Editor, I wanted to let you know I have had so many positive comments about our fundraising breakfast held (April 20). This breakfast had the most guests we have ever had at any fundraising event we’ve held! I had so many people call to register because they either saw the ads or read the articles about the breakfast in Current.

I want to take a moment to let you know how much your support of Janus

is appreciated. Your sponsorship of the breakfast is one of the reasons for our success and enabled Janus to apply all of the donations made the day of the event to the services and programs we are able to offer our clients.

I look forward to a continued relationship with you in the future.

Kindest regards, Debbie Laird, senior vice president of development at Janus Developmental Services

Your sponsorship of the breakfast is one of the reasons for our success and enabled Janus to apply all of the donations made the day of the event to the services and programs we are able to offer our clients.

I occasionally experience migraine headaches, maybe one every few years. My last was actually in 2014. Since I’m not a regular sufferer, they tend to sneak up HUMOR on me before I realize what’s happening, and usually at inopportune moments.

Here’s what went down recently.

I’d just finished a triathlon in Muncie and was trying to figure out why I wasn’t enjoying the typical post-race euphoria. I was tired, sure, but I had no desire for a Big Mac (my usual self-congratulatory meal), nor was I excited to call Doo with the details (lost swimsuit, broken sunglasses, knocking over two bike racks).

As I stood in line for a pizza slice (it was free!), I noticed my vison going wonky. I could still see, but there was a definite blind spot in my right eye. It cleared after maybe 10 minutes, and I headed for my car.

As soon as I hit I-69, a dull headache began along with a bit of nausea. By the time I got to the Anderson exit, I was desperately pressing a cold water bottle to my head while dry-heaving into a Meijer grocery bag.

I pulled off the highway, parked at the Steak ‘n Shake and crawled into the back seat to wait out the pain.

I neither turned off the car nor locked the doors, but luckily, no one seemed to notice or care that a seemingly unoccupied minivan sat running for an hour.

Once home, I spent the rest of the day on the couch, “recovering.” Not from the race, mind you, but from the migraine. At least I should be good for another few years!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day.

That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.

When push comes to shove Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Sunday nights are stressful in the Wolfsie household because there are just so many great programs we both HUMOR want to see.To deal with this problem, my wife has a kind of spread sheet where she charts each show and then figures out how we can accomplish our viewing goals without missing anything.

“Dick, I’m going to tape ‘Madam Secretary,’ but we’ll watch ‘Homeland’ live, and I can also record that mini-series about John Paul Getty. Then we can DVR ‘Billions,’ unless we can get it ‘On Demand’ Monday.”

“OK, Mary Ellen, why can’t we record ‘Homeland’ later, then you can watch ‘Mystery Theater’ and I can watch the baseball game? Wait, I can’t miss ‘Deception.’ Can I watch both of them live?”

“You can’t watch ‘Deception’ live because it’s HDTV, which means we could only record one other show. I could watch sports with you, but you know there’s no chance of that happening.”

With the DVR, we have the option to zip past ads by using the fast-forward option.

My wife is a two-arrow person, mean-

ing she only presses the forward button twice. She wants to trudge slowly along so she doesn’t pass the desired starting spot immediately after the commercials. I’m a five-time arrow pusher. It goes forward so fast that I have to backtrack, because I always end up at the closing credits even though I’ve only watched 10 minutes of the show. Then I rewind with five pushes to find where I left off, and all of a sudden, I’m looking at the opening credits … again. The other night Mary Ellen shoved me off the couch because I was driving her crazy with the FF button. This is how push comes to shove.

At some point when you program too many shows at the same time, a prompt comes up that says: C O N F L I C T. Yes, indeed there is a conflict, but Mary Ellen and I always try to work it out, because we don’t want to go to bed mad. Assuming we ever get to bed. It’s difficult … with so many shows to watch.

How to choose a running shoe Commentary by Joseph Hui As the weather gets warmer, many people will lace up their shoes and get back into or starting a SPRING ACTIVITY running program for the first time.

For a runner, shoes are everything. But how does one choose the right shoe?

The first question is – what type of surface will you be running on, road or trail?

Trail-running shoes are typically heavier and designed to protect the foot and encourage stability on uneven, rocky surfaces. These shoes offer durable soles with more aggressive tread patterns and are generally wider and sometimes have an additional layer in the sole to reduce pain caused by stepping on debris.

Next, identify the type of running pattern you have. Find a well-used pair of running/ athletic shoes from your closet and examine the wear pattern of the tread. Your running pattern is generally broken into three categories: underpronation, neutral and overpronation.

Overpronation typically occurs in runners with a flat to medium arch. If the sole of the shoe is worn down near the inside of

the shoe near the big toe, then you have overpronation. Underpronation, the least common type, typically occurs in those with high arches and can be identified when the outside of the sole is worn down near the pinky toe. Neutral runners are in between and typically have even wear-pattern of the inside and outside of the fore foot.

For overpronators, shoes with a stiff midsole are generally more helpful and are marketed as motion-control shoes. For underpronators, neutral-type shoes are more helpful. Finally, for neutral-pattern runners, a stability shoe is typically the best fit.

The most important thing is how comfortable they feel. There has been a recent shift in the scientific literature to promote comfort as a strong predictor to reduce the incidence of running injuries.

For those who experience discomfort in the knees or hips during or after running, consider an over-the-counter orthotic.

Dr. Joseph Hui is a Riverview Health primary care sports medicine physician. He specializes in management of nonoperative orthopedic issues and sports-related injuries. Reach him at 317-867-5263.

Architura to hold open house

BEFORE

By Noah Alatza news@currentinfishers.com

REMODELERS SINCE 1993 QUALITY PRODUCTS, EXPERT INSTALLATION GUARANTEED!

317-848-7634

Architectural company Architura Corp., 9880 Westpoint Dr., recently moved to Fishers from Monument Circle EXPANSION in downtown Indianapolis.

As a certified Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, the company designs federal, state and local government projects, historic renovations and commercial corporate, among projects.

Owners Michael Conley and Chuck Kotterman have lived in Fishers for 23 years and have more than 70 years of combined industry experience.

In Westfield, Architura was responsible for designing the Monon Marketplace along Ind. 32 near Wheeler Road.

Kotterman said Architura also is working on a similar shopping area near the new Cambria Suites at Grand Park.

“We have been working on and off on that for four years,” he said, “It’s been kind of a labor of love.”

Kotterman said tenants have not locked in yet on that project. He said he anticipates a sloped roof and much more of a stylized design next to the hotel.

Kotterman said he met Conley through a mutual friend and founded the company in 2000.

“We have seen some steady growth so far and we always kept a small size. We don’t like to increase staff when we get a lot of work because we don’t like to lay off people,” he said.

The company has five employees, plus the two owners. But Kotterman said the firm could use more employees.

“Government work is picking up, our (Veterans Affairs) contract will produce a lot of work, and we have a contract with the General Services Administration,” Kotterman said.

The General Services Administration leases property to tenants. Architura is an architect firm separate from developers.

“We have a unique situation where Architura has done some work on almost every federal building in the state,” Kotterman said.

That has included study work on the Hamilton County Courthouse, specifically for additions.

Kotterman said Architura moved to Fishers from Indianapolis because of the favorable work environment.

“We saw some opportunities in Hamilton County and the Fishers area,” he said. “I am still connected to downtown, but here I don’t feel like I am missing any of that energy, and I like the feeling of being here.

It’s peaceful.”

Other recent projects include the upgraded Delta Faucet Corporate Headquarters expansion in Carmel.

The open house for the new building is scheduled for 4 to 7 p.m. May 10.

WHS student balances dance, academics

BY Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Sarah Witzman is a busy 18-year-old with myriad interests, a technical mind and a volunteer spirit.

For example, she’s active EVENT in multiple organizations at Westfield High School and plans to study mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University. She also has served as committee chair for WHS’s Dance Marathon fundraiser for Riley Hospital for Children and is a class representative in Key Club, a community service group.

But when Witzman isn’t studying or volunteering, she devotes what little spare time she has to her lifelong passion — dance. She began as a toddler and is, at age 18, an accomplished performer.

“I love dance because it is a challenging art form that allows me to work hard and push myself,” said Witzman, a WHS senior and nine-year member of the Ballet Theatre of Carmel at Performer’s Edge. “I also love preparing for a performance, and it is very rewarding to see months of hard work pay off in the final performance.”

Witzman’s next performances will be May 12 and 13 in the Ballet Theatre of Carmel’s presentation of Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” at the WHS auditorium. The May 12 performance is at 7:30 p.m. The May 13 performance is at 2 p.m. Witzman is the lead waltz, big swan and Russian princess.

In total, Witzman has performed in approximately 15 ballets during her career, including annual appearances in “The Nutcracker” during the holidays.

For Witzman, training and performing are labors of love.

“I have been dancing since I was 3 years old,” she said. “After my first beginning dance class, I loved it and realized that I wanted to keep dancing.”

But dancing isn’t Witzman’s only commitment. She is equally dedicated to her volunteer work, club activities and, most importantly, her school work.

As evidenced by the aformentioned, Witzman, an honor student, not only participates in a range of activities, she excels at each — no easy accomplishment for a busy

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville lower-level update Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This early 2000s home in the Long Beach Estates neighborhood of Zionsville was a great space for the homeowners and their family to grow, but it lacked their own personal touches. So, they wanted updates that reflected their unique taste.

The overall goal was to create a space that functioned better for the homeowner while giving it a modern look that reflected the homeowner’s personal taste.

1. The largest transformation came from extending the footprint of the island from 4 feet to 10 feet, adding more space for storage and replacing the kitchen table with island seating. This helped make the space appear larger and gave the homeowner ample countertop space!

2. New contrasting cabinetry and countertops were added to the kitchen and dry bar, providing a more modern look and adding plenty of unique storage solutions.

3. A large barn door replaced the pantry door, which freed up space and added a unique design element to the space.

4. Shiplap and encaustic cement tile details were added in the kitchen, dry bar and living room, tying the design together.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The lower level was dated and had minimal natural light. The floorplan of the kitchen was small and lacked storage solutions. Certain spaces like the kitchen table and built-in desk were underutilized. The lower level lacked a cohesive design.

Along the Bay of Angels in Nice, France. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A ‘Nice’ place to visit Commentary by Don Knebel Each year, 5 million people visit Nice, located at the southeastern corner of France, to enjoy a picturesque stretch TRAVEL of the Mediterranean coastline.

The area’s popularity goes back 200,000 years.

The Greeks founded Nice as a port city along what is now known as the Côte d’Azur (Sky Blue Coast) in the fourth century B.C. They named the city after Nike, the goddess of victory. By the middle ages, Nice had become an important independent city, with many of its residents speaking Italian. In the late 18th century, Mont Boron, a hill overlooking the Bay of Angels on Nice’s southeastern end, was a favorite winter haven for British aristocrats, who enjoyed the mild weather and spectacular views. In 1820, reportedly to keep the locals employed during an economic downturn, the English visitors, with financial support from Nice’s Anglican Church, initiated construction of a walkway along the shore of the Bay of Angels. The walkway, named the Promenade des Anglais (Walkway of the English), now extends from the Nice

airport to the famous Cadran Solaire, a sundial where people standing on it become the shadow-casting gnomon.

In 1966, during construction near the base of Mont Boron, archaeologists discovered a site they called Terra Amata. Excavation revealed that humans had occupied the site, once adjacent the coast, no later than 200,000 B.C. and had used fire in their beachside huts, one of the earliest examples of the domestication of fire in Europe.

A small museum above the site displays items from Terra Amata, including simple tools made from beach stones.

Nice officially became part of France in 1860 and today, with a population of about 350,000, is the country’s fifth-largest city.

As the unofficial capital of the Côte d’Azur, Nice is the gateway to the fashionable resort destinations of Antibes, Cannes, SaintTropez and Monaco.

DISPATCHES Clean under fridge — The space between your fridge and the floor is a magnet for pet hair, dust, food crumbs and other small trinkets. And if gone too long without cleaning, it can attract ants and other pests.

To clean this area, use a hair trap cleaner (also called a drain cleaning zip tool), which sells at home improvement stores for less than $5. It won’t leave scratches on the floor and can reach further than a vacuum cleaner attachment.
