Lincoln Elementary educator named Indiana P.E. Teacher of the Year By Alicia Kelly alica@youarecurrent.com

When Tyler Staup walks into the gym at Lincoln Elementary School each morning, he remembers being on the other side of the whistle — a Brownsburg kid learning to juggle and play games in physical education class. Now, years later, Staup has been named the 2025 Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year by the Indiana Society for Health and Physical Educators, or INSHAPE, an award that recognizes educators “among the elite of the school health education and physical education profession,” according to the organization. INSHAPE’s Teacher of the Year honors are given annually to educators who demonstrate outstanding teaching performance and the ability to motivate students toward lifelong physical activity. Recipients are chosen after a competitive review process by the association’s selection committee. Staup was officially recognized during the INSHAPE State Conference Awards Program on Nov. 6 at The SportZone complex in Indianapolis. For Staup, the award feels like a personal milestone and a reflection of the larger community that shaped him. “Personally, this award is just a huge blessing to me,” he said. “I’m grateful

to be recognized, but I think it’s a reflection of our school, students, and it shows you the value and the work we do as physical education teachers.” That sense of connection runs deep for Staup, who attended Brownsburg schools. His path to teaching began in the same gyms where he once learned from one of his role models — Zach Kelley, now a physical education teacher at Crossroads Elementary. “Mr. Kelley was an awesome teacher to have while in school,” Staup said. “He did juggling masters and I loved his style of teaching growing up. He was also extremely helpful when I was getting into student teaching in college and sort of became my mentor.” Staup said Kelley’s influence helped shape his philosophy as an educator: focusing less on competition and more on individual growth and confidence. “I try to emphasize to my students that it’s not about being the best of something or the strongest or fastest. It’s just about trying your best and working your hardest,” Staup said. In his classes, Staup looks for ways to teach skills that students can carry beyond the gym. Roller skating, for example, has become a favorite among Lincoln’s older elementary students and one that often sticks. “I think my approach to teaching stands out because I’m able to find activities that teach specific skills to students that they can take and use in their own lives,” he said. “Something that’s really popular among our 3rd, 4th, and

5th graders is roller skating. I hear from some kids that they started roller skating at home, too, and enjoy it outside of the classroom.” For Staup, physical education is ultimately about sparking something that lasts. “It’s about creating opportunities for kids to be active and confident,” he said. “If they can find something they love to do and keep doing it, that’s a win.”

Sal’s Famous Pizzeria celebrates re-opening By Melissa Gibson mellisa@Youarecurrent.com After six weeks of renovations, Sal’s Famous Pizzeria at 1028 E. Main St. in Brownsburg has reopened. The Italian restaurant, known for its pizza, pasta and chicken dishes, celebrated its grand reopening Nov. 12. “We made everything brand new. To me, this is my house, and I like to keep the standard high. In order to do that, you have to have the tools to do it,” said Salvatore Russo, owner of Sal’s Famous Pizzeria. “Everything from the paint to the tables and chairs are all brand new.” Besides Brownsburg, Sal’s also has a restaurant in Plainfield. Russo said the Brownsburg needed refreshing and looks forward to the relaunch. “There are no shortcuts in my kitchen,” Russo said. “Technology is great and it goes fast but some of the old ways of doing things still work. We’re going to start from scratch and I’m watching the people come back. They mean a lot to me and I’m proud that we’re turning this location around.” Russo said fresh ingredients preparation, such as making dough fresh from scratch each day, grating cheese and mixing his own sauce make, is what

Meet Santa in Brownsburg By Melissa Gibson mellisa@Youarecurrent.com

Deck the Halls Safely Make the season brighter and safer with fire-safe decorations.

Flame-safe decorations: Opt for items that are flame-resistant or flame-retardant. Use lights properly: Choose indoor and outdoor lights as intended for their specific locations. Inspect light strings: Replace any worn or broken cords and loose bulb connections. Check tree safety labels: Look for a fire-resistant label on artificial trees. Pick a fresh tree: If using a real tree, pick one with green needles that don’t fall off when touched. Water your tree daily: Keep it hydrated to reduce fire risk. Keep trees away from heat: Place your tree at least 3 feet away from heat sources and exits. Avoid open flames: Never use lit candles to decorate your tree.

Brownsburg businesses are teaming up to celebrate the holidays and give back to the community with their second Meet & Greet with Santa Claus. Best Friends Coffee & Bagels, The Breakfast Co. and Green Street Pub & Eatery will present the event from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at Green Street Pub & Eatery, 911 N. Green St., offering families a festive evening of cookies, hot cocoa, candy canes and photos with the official Brownsburg Santa. Tom Weaver, owner of Green Street Pub & Eatery, said the event started three years ago when Bob Goodpaster and Chico Mbanu, co-owners of Best Friends Coffee & Bagels, first hosted it at their restaurant. The tradition grew as other local businesses joined in. “We all know each other,” Weaver said. “Bob does the music for me on Tuesdays at Green Street Pub, and Doris Kline Maples, owner of The Breakfast Company, and I opened an O’Charley’s back in 2000. Bob called us and asked if we wanted to join in, and we decided to rotate locations each year. Last year, we

held it at The Breakfast Company, and this year Green Street Pub will host.” Weaver said the goal is to present a family-friendly event while helping the community. The cost of admission is a new toy or a new children’s coat to be donated to a family in need. Coats and toys will be donated to Foster Fairies, a nonprofit working to fulfill children’s needs and wishes in the Indiana foster care system.

Christmas parade returns By Melissa Gibson mellisa@Youarecurrent.com Brownsburg’s 20th annual Christmas Under the Stars parade is set for 6 p.m. Dec. 6. It will begin at Main Street and Eastern Avenue, travel west on Main Street to Green Street, turn north on Green Street and then end at Enderly Avenue. The parade, which draws hundreds of spectators, has grown considerably throughout the years. “Christmas Under the Stars has become a beloved Brownsburg tradition,” said Shelby Abner, community relations senior manager for the Town of Brownsburg. “For 20 years, families have lined Main Street to celebrate the season with a lighted parade. Over time, we’ve added a Winter Market and Santa’s Workshop. We’re proud to continue hosting an event that reminds us all what community truly means.” From 4 to 8 p.m. on the Town Hall Green and in Eaton Hall, both at 61 N. Green St., visitors can shop more than

20 vendors selling unique, handmade items and Christmas gifts. The Brownsburg Public Library will host holiday crafts for children. After the parade, tree-lighting ceremony will be presented at 7:15 p.m. The event, which will include photos with Santa, is hosted by the Brownsburg Kiwanis and will be presented at Town Hall Green and Eaton Hall. A local Girl Scout troop will sell s’mores kits and provide bonfires for attendees. An indoor sensory room will be available inside Town Hall. The room will feature coloring sheets, sensory toys, comfortable seating, headphones and soft music throughout the evening. “We’re grateful for the community partnerships that make this event possible,” Abner said. “From the Brownsburg Kiwanis hosting photos with Santa to the Brownsburg Public Library leading kids’ crafts, Christmas Under the Stars has truly become a community-wide celebration.”

Over $86,500 in grants awarded to local nonprofits By Alicia Kelly alica@youarecurrent.com

GRANT RECIPIENTS

The Hendricks County Community Foundation Board of Directors has approved more than $86,500 in Community Impact Grants to 18 organizations serving residents across Hendricks County. The grants, announced in October, represent the foundation’s second round of Community Impact funding this year. The awards were made possible through the Deedee Daniel Opportunity Fund, the foundation’s largest Community Enhancement Fund, as well as contributions from 67 Family Legacy Funds established by local families. This flexible grant program is designed to meet the evolving needs of nonprofits and the people they serve. It provides ongoing, unrestricted funding that enables organizations to respond to community challenges as they arise.

In addition, two nonprofits were awarded grants through HCCF’s Community Unity Funds: the Hendricks County Education Foundations Alliance received $4,400, and Visit Hendricks County was granted $5,000. “The Community Foundation is proud to support these impactful organizations,” Hendricks County Community Foundation President and CEO William Rhodehamel said. “We’re also grateful to the generous donors who give to our Family Legacy Funds and other commu-

By Melissa Gibson mellisa@Youarecurrent.com Whether it’s uncovering a family secret or tracing a long-lost ancestor, genealogy enthusiasts in Brownsburg have a place to dig into their roots. Each month, a group called Branches gathers at the Brownsburg Public Library to explore family history with the guidance of history librarian Jessica Owens. One month, the group hosts a workday, giving community members a chance to bring in family tree projects and get help with research challenges. The following month, Owens leads a program introducing new tools and techniques to help uncover the next piece of the puzzle. Owens said the Brownsburg Public Library has a substantial collection of local history available for patrons, including old family trees, written family histories, hundreds of historic photos and a couple of historical family Bibles. “My favorite thing is from the early 1900s — a local Brownsburg woman collected hair from all the female neighbors and created a Victorian hair

wreath,” Owens said. “It doesn’t look like hair; it looks almost like lace and every single person’s hair has been labeled.” Working together, they’ve found scandals, traditions and famous relatives mixed in with the history of Brownsburg and beyond. “I think a lot of times, you don’t know why you are the way you are until you look back,” Owens said. “Finding out these types of things enriches who you are and who your family is.” Visit bburglibrary.net/ for more information and current programming for all ages.

Access for all in the county By Melissa Gibson mellisa@Youarecurrent.com On Dec. 1, Visit Hendricks County, the county’s official tourism and marketing organization, will launch CARE to Connect, a 12-month program designed to create a more inclusive community by identifying infrastructure and programming needs throughout Hendricks County. The initiative will focus on improving accessibility in local attractions, events and businesses. CARE Connect is made possible in part by a $5,000 grant from the Hendricks County Community Foundation through the Deedee Daniel Opportunity Fund. CARE stands for Community, Accessibility, Readiness and Education. In addition to the grant, Visit Hendricks County will invest $12,500, bringing the total cost of the program to $17,500 in 2026. Jaime Bohler Smith, executive director/CEO of Visit Hendricks County, said the investment reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to supporting equitable access

and enhancing the visitor experience throughout the county. “Inclusivity, equity and accessibility are foundations to Visit Hendricks County’s mission to enhance the quality of life for all residents and visitors,” Bohler Smith said. “As our community evolves, we recognize that our destination must reflect the people who live, work and travel here. This investment will help identify local attractions that can provide improved access for all.” In partnership with Wheel the World, an online travel platform that helps people with disabilities find, book and plan accessible trips, a limited number of local businesses will be selected in areas identified as top experience priorities: outdoor activities, dining and events and festivals. The selected businesses will receive a detailed audit report with guidance on how to make improvements. Visit Hendricks County will then partner with each business to help apply the changes to make their business more accessible to all.

Study reveals food need news@youarecurrent.com A survey of food assistance needs in central Indiana shows that the rate of “very low” food security throughout the region — regardless of county line — is 37 percent of the population. The study was conducted by Indy Hunger Network in partnership with Central Indiana Community Foundation, Indiana University Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the City of Indianapolis Office of Public Health and Safety. In addition to the 37 percent “very low” food security rate, the survey found that more than half of central Indiana households experienced some level of food insecurity during the 2024–25 study period. “Hunger doesn’t look like you think it would,” stated Kate Howe, executive director of Indy Hunger Network. “It’s your employees, your neighbors, the people you pass by every day.” This year’s larger sample size included 1,300 respondents from all nine central Indiana counties. About half

were Marion County residents. About 60 percent of all respondents were employed, 86 percent lived in a household with at least one wage earner and 6 percent reported they were unemployed. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Marion County and surrounding counties have such similar rates of food insecurity,” stated Jennifer Bartenbach, president and CEO of CICF. “We are the most interconnected region in the state. According to the news release, federal funding cuts and freezes stand to worsen trends captured in the survey, placing added strain on low-wage households, the food assistance system and communities. The study’s data will be used to align resources, strengthen provider networks and guide investments. Hoosiers facing food insecurity can use the Community Compass app and website, a food assistance locator in Indiana, which can be found at communitycompass.app. For more, visit uwci.org/ central-indiana-food-relief-fund.

Town council issues Veterans Day proclamation By Alicia Kelly alica@youarecurrent.com

S

On Oct. 23, the Brownsburg Town Council issued a proclamation in honor of Veterans Day, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Representatives from the Brownsburg American Legion Post 331 attended the meeting to accept the proclamation on behalf of all veterans. The full text of the proclamation reads: “Whereas, Nov. 11 of each year, our nation honors the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, recognizing their dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting the freedoms and liberties we hold dear; and Whereas, Veterans Day serves as an opportunity for our community to express heartfelt gratitude to all veterans — those who have served in times of war and peace, and those who have given selflessly to ensure the safety of our nation; and Whereas, the Town of Brownsburg is proud to host its inaugural Field of Honor from Nov. 8 - 11, honoring veterans from every branch of the military with a display of 250 flags on the Town Hall Green; and Whereas, the Town of Brownsburg appreciates the enduring spirit that local organizations, such as American Legion Post 331, have instilled in our community; and Whereas, it is with the utmost reverence and respect that the Town of Brownsburg acknowledges the courage, sacrifice, honor, and achievements of our nation’s veterans. Now, therefore, I, Travis Tschaenn, Town Council President of the Town of Brownsburg, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025 as Veterans Day in the Town of Brownsburg, and urge all residents to join in heartfelt appreciation, reverence, and celebration of our Veterans, expressing profound gratitude for their service, sacrifice, and steadfast devotion to duty.”

SALUTE TO SERVICE Brownsburg Field of Honor ceremony honors veterans

By Alicia Kelly alicia@youarecurrent.com Beneath rows of red, white and blue, the Brownsburg community gathered Nov. 8 for the town’s first-ever Field of Honor ceremony — a tribute to America’s veterans and their families. Held on the Town Hall Green, the event drew residents, local officials and service members together in a show of unity ahead of Veterans Day. The ceremony featured remarks from community leaders, musical performances by the 38th Infantry Division Band and a Presentation of Colors by the Hendricks County Honor Guard. At the heart of the ceremony stood 250 American flags, each one representing a story of service and sacrifice. The display, organized by the Town of Brownsburg, the American Legion Colonel Billie J. Holmes Memorial Post 331 and Brownsburg Parks and Recreation, not only honored veterans but also raised more than $5,000 for the Indiana National Guard Relief Fund. “When we see these flags waving in the wind, it’s more than just a display,” said keynote speaker Lt. Col. Billy Ray Moore (Ret.), a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. “Each flag tells a story of someone who made a choice to serve, someone who answered the call, left the comfort of their home and stood ready to defend our freedom.” Moore, who served more than two decades in the Marines, reminded attendees of the distinction between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. “On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who gave their lives in service for our nation,” he said. “But on Veterans Day, we honor all who have served. This day is for those who came home, for those who are still living today, and to let them know their service matters and still matters.” The event marked the beginning of what organizers hope will become a long-standing Brownsburg tradition. Town Manager Deb Cook said she had been looking for a more robust way to recognize veterans in the community. “This was something that really spoke to our town’s spirit,” Cook said. “We wanted to create a moment that was both meaningful and lasting — something our community can grow together around, year after year.” Cook said the goal is to expand the event in future years and continue to raise funds for veteran support programs. Flags from the display will remain standing through Nov. 12, and those who purchased one can pick it up beginning Nov. 13. Amber Lane, director of the Brownsburg Parks Department, praised the volunteers who helped bring the project to life.

“This event wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make it happen,” she said. Among those in attendance was Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Baird, representing Indiana’s 4th Congressional District and a U.S. Army veteran. Baird reflected on his own experience returning home from Vietnam and the changing attitudes toward veterans over time. “Unfortunately, not all veterans have received the gratitude they deserved,” Baird said. “When my fellow veterans and I returned home from Vietnam, we were met not with celebration, but with division and misunderstanding. Many Americans at the time thought we were on the wrong side. But I know the men I served with. They are men who love this country and believe deeply in our freedoms.” He added that he’s heartened to see Americans today striving to ensure no veteran feels forgotten. “In the years since, I’ve been grateful to those who recognize the mistakes of that era and work to ensure no veteran is made to feel that way again,” he said. As the final notes of the national anthem echoed

across the field, the flags rippled gently in the November wind — a powerful symbol of sacrifice, resilience and gratitude. For Brownsburg, the first Field of Honor event was more than a ceremony. It was a promise and a commitment to remember, to thank and to continue honoring those who have worn the nation’s uniform.

When I hear the term lazy eye, I think, “How unfair!” That term comes from the idea that an eye will not line up or work with the other eye because the muscles are weak, but lazy eye is used by many people to describe either a lid droop, an eye that turns noticeably in or out, or even an eye that’s perfectly straight but can’t see well. None of these ocular situations means that the eye isn’t trying to do its job. Strabismus is the better word to describe an eye turn. Strabismus can sometimes be treated simply with glasses, but may also require surgery, patching the other eye, vision therapy programs and occasionally all of the above treatments. Ptosis is the term for an eyelid that droops and while this can happen for a variety of reasons, none of them will be because the eye or eyelid is lazy. Ptosis can be addressed by either medicated eyedrops or surgical intervention if it is bothersome cosmetically or visually. The last misuse, and most common, of the term lazy eye is for amblyopia. Amblyopia is a condition in which the eye cannot achieve normal 20/20 vision, despite the best prescription. This can happen either when the eye can’t see clearly long-term or when the brain is fighting double vision and needs to ignore at least one eye to keep single vision. Amblyopia often happens when a child has one eye that sees perfectly, and the other is blurry because of a prescription variance that doesn’t get diagnosed early enough. Since the child will not complain when one eye seems perfectly adequate, they don’t know what they don’t know. That’s why we recommend every child have a comprehensive eye exam — not just a school vision screening — before the age of 5. That way, we don’t miss any issue that can cause significant future visual limitations.

Editor, I read with interest your article in the Nov. 11, 2025 issue of Current in Brownsburg. I visit Arbuckle several times per week to walk the path. I do this not only for exercise, but also to reflect on the beauty of nature. For me, nothing quite soothes the soul as being surrounded by trees and weeds. I describe the path at Arbuckle as “a gem hidden in plain sight.” I knew nothing beforehand of the project. I was there on the morning of Nov. 3 when they were closing the creek area near where my vehicle was parked. Your article was welcome information. I hope our community officials continue to see the value of investing in parks and trails — from the Town of Brownsburg to our neighboring towns and the county itself. The “return on investment” can’t always be directly measured in dollars and cents. They elevate our quality of life and make our communities good and desirable places to live. David E. Underhill, Brownsburg

Area dancers ready for Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s ‘The Nutcracker’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Emily Geon is eager for her second turn as the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s presentation of “The Nutcracker.” “I learned that it’s really important to have fun while you are doing it,” said Geon, a Carmel resident who is a high school junior who takes online classes. “I think I was kind of stressed going into the technique part of it last year. This year, I’m trying to focus more on the facial expressions and just having fun making the artistry.” IBC’s production of “The Nutcracker” is set for Nov. 29-30 at the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Performances are 2 and 7 p.m. Nov. 29 and 1 and 6 p.m. Nov. 30. Geon plays the Sugar Plum role in the afternoon shows. Clara Crane, a Westfield High School junior, plays Sugar Plum in the evening shows. She played Sugar Plum in a special performance in Wabash last year. “This has been my dream role and I’m excited to do it with my IBC family and just to get to perform at the Palladium,” Crane said. Crane, who is in her 14th year as an IBC dancer, said she is trying to improve on last year’s performance. Nora Woloszyn of Brownsburg, a fifth-grader, plays Masha. “I like that we get to dance with the Nutcracker and I like all my costumes and fun ballet moves,” she said. Meredith Drucker, a sixth-grader from Carmel, also has two shows as Masha. “This is my first time dancing en pointe,” she said. “I’m looking forward to dancing with the Nutcracker and my friends.” Isaiah Kubicek, a senior homeschooled student from Batesville, plays the Spanish lead and Arabian Doll. “I’m looking forward to the live mu-

sic with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra,” he said. “Arabian Doll is a very fun role to play.” Kubicek, in his first year with IBC, has performed in “The Nutcracker” with other dance organizations. “I like that it’s a full production. I haven’t done that for five or six years,” he said. Charli Klink, a Westfield resident and online high school freshman, performs as the Spanish lead. She said the most challenging part is learning all the parts of the role and coordination. She is the Spanish lead in the afternoon shows. She also plays the Snow Waltz, Arabian and Young Ladies. Starla Karlsson, a Carmel resident who moved to the U.S. from Sweden when she was 4 years old, has been with IBC for eight years. The online

high school junior is playing the Spanish role for the third time, “I’ve been getting more comfortable with it every year,” Karlsson said. “I’ve been working on connecting with the audience. Alyona Yakovleva, IBC’s founding artistic director, is eager to see how the dancers perform. “Every year, each performance is different because of the cast, the new Mashas, new Sugar Plums,” she said. “With the Carmel Symphony, it’s a completely beautiful experience for the entire community. I think we all try to polish and elevate ‘Nutcracker’ every year to a higher level.” Professional ballet dancer Luis Ocaranza is the guest artist. For more, visit indianaballetconservatory.org.

new album is “Old Me, New Wig.” “The song is all about stepping into being yourself or maybe a new version of yourself,” Tuttle said. “I felt that (with) this new album, I was stepping into new territory.” In middle school and high school, she didn’t want to talk about her condition. “I just started slowly opening up about it, and now it’s become something I like to raise awareness about and hopefully help anyone struggling with this or anything similar,” she said. Earlier this year, Tuttle performed on Ringo Starr’s country album, “Look Up.” She also performed with Starr at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. For more, visit thevogue.com.

Molly Tuttle’s new album, “So Long Little Miss Sunshine,” is a departure from her bluegrass music. Tuttle, who said she tries to be a chameleon with her music, will perform on “The Highway Knows Tour” at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20 at The Vogue in Indianapolis. “This is my fifth album, so I feel like I’m at the place where I have quite a bit of material for the live shows, which is fun,” Tuttle said. “These shows have been really dynamic.” Tuttle, who plays guitar, toured with Golden Highway for three years. She said they decided to take a break while she released a solo record. “So, it’s a new band lineup and new instrumentation,” she said. “We’re still playing a lot of the Golden Highway material. Some of it we revamped with different instruments.” Tuttle and Golden Highway won Grammy Awards for the albums “Crooked Tree” in 2022 and “City of Gold” in 2023. “So Long Little Miss Sunshine” has been nominated for a 2026 Grammy for Best Americana Album. Her song, “That’s Gonna Leave A Mark,” is nominated for Best Americana Performances. Tuttle, 32, has been bald since age 3 because of an autoimmune condition, alopecia areata. One song on the
