ZCS officials deliver State of the Schools address By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community Schools officials celebrated the district’s achievements during the 2020-21 EDUCATION school year, praised students’ and staffs’ ability to persevere through the pandemic and explained upcoming changes during a Sept. 29 State of the Schools address at Town Hall. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, ZCS Assistant Supt. of Academics Kris Devereaux said the district, which serves nearly 8,000 students at its eight schools, did not suffer significant learning loss during the 2020-21 school year. “We actually did not see hardly any learning loss at all compared to our surrounding districts because of the way we were able to do last year,” Devereaux said during the address. “We were able to have our students in person with us full time at our elementary schools for the 180 days and part time in the hybrid model at our secondary schools.

“We know being in person is the best way to teach.” In 2022, the district anticipates opening a new school, Trailside Elementary School, to meet the needs of growing enrollment. Jen Raycroft was named the principal. Trailside will join the district’s six other elementary schools, including Boone Meadow Elementary School, which was recognized as a 2020 National Blue Ribbon School. ZCS officials expect to release findings from a demographic study later this fall, marking the start of the district’s redistricting process. The process is expected to be complete by spring 2023. “The process will begin with that demographic study,” ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said. “We are in the process at this point of setting the guard rails around which we will make models that will determine what the patterns of attendance are. We hope that we do redistricting once and don’t have to do it again for quite some time. We dislike those transitions happening multiple times for youth.”

DISPATCHES Former ZFD firefighter charged with sexual misconduct with a minor — Former Zionsville firefighter Scott Maramil of Kokomo was arrested Sept. 20 and charged with sexual misconduct with a minor, multiple charges of child seduction by a guardian and dissemination of matter harmful to minors. Amanda Vela, the Town of Zionsville’s public information officer, stated, “The Town of Zionsville Fire Department is aware of the criminal charges against former employee Scott Mamaril. We are fully cooperating with police agencies. At the current time, this case is open and active and no further information will be shared.” According to court records, Maramil’s wife filed a petition for a dissolution of their marriage on Sept. 27.

Comprehensive burn center for adults and children comes to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital “In the event of a house fire or accident, all family members can come to our unit for care. Family members of all ages can receive care under one roof.” — Jeffrey Gibbs, MD

Ascension St. Vincent Hospital recently opened a state-of-the-art burn center, providing high-quality, comprehensive burn care to both adults and children. Burn centers deliver specialized care, treatment and rehabilitation to patients with minor to severe burn injuries. Located within Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, the burn intensive care unit provides care for both adults and children, which means families can stay together for their treatment in one location. “In the event of a house fire or accident, all family members can come to our unit for care,” said Jeffrey Gibbs, MD, Medical Director of the new burn center. “Family members of all ages can receive care under one roof.” Ascension St. Vincent also opened a burn clinic attached to the hospital on Naab Road. In addition to providing follow-up care, the clinic offers sameday appointments for adults and chil-

Patients with more serious injuries can be directly admitted to the burn center within the hospital for ongoing care. “For example, if someone is grilling in their backyard and burns their hand, they can be seen quickly with a sameday appointment in our burn clinic,” said Dr. Gibbs.

Jeanie Leggett, RN, burn center Program Director, said she was called to care for burn patients during her final semester of nursing school. “Delivering care to burn patients and witnessing them go on to rehab or leave the hospital is what inspires me the most,” said Leggett.

Renovations of the north lobby area at Gainbridge Fieldhouse will soon be unveiled. (Rendering courtesy of Pacers Sports & Entertainment)

Fieldhouse to unveil renovations By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As Gainbridge Fieldhouse reopens the month, guests will see a wealth of new features. VENUE The downtown Indianapolis fieldhouse, which was renamed from Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sept. 27, is nearly at the conclusion of Phase 2 of the Fieldhouse of the Future project, a threephase, $360 million renovation that began in April of 2020 and will continue through the fall of 2022. After being closed since the Pacers’ season ended in May, the fieldhouse reopened with a Dan and Shay concert Oct. 1. The Indiana Pacers play a preseason home game on Oct. 13. “We’ve taken the best, most iconic arena in the NBA and we’re making it even better, even more state of the art, and even more appealing to a new generation of fans by creating a premium experience for all,” said Rick Fuson, president and chief operating officer of Pacers Sports & Entertainment and a Carmel resident. Phase 1 concentrated on lower-level improvements and also included a new stateof-the-art scoreboard. “Even if you were back last season, fans will be blown away by the number of changes we’ve made since we started construction in May,” said Mel Raines, executive vice president of corporate communications, community engagement and facility operations for Pacers Sports & Entertainment. “Everything on the main concourse and the Krieg DeVault level is going to be brand new. There are all new concessions and new restrooms. There are new seats on the Krieg DeVault level. We’ve added a nursing mothers’ rooms. We added a sensory room for those guests who might want to step out of the show or the game for a minute and have quiet time.”

New food offerings will be rolled out at the end of this month. “We are opening up the sides of the fieldhouse, the east and west sides, with glass curtain walls,” Raines said. “The seating bowl is much more open to the concourses. Right when you walk in at the entry pavilion, you’ll see the scoreboard and feel like you are already at the game. On the north and south end, we are opening up new bars that will be done at the end of the year.” A new bar area, the Yuengling Flight Deck, is at the south end of the building that also looks into the bowl. Raines said with mobile ticketing, there isn’t a need for as much space as the box office occupied when the Fieldhouse opened in 1999. The new, smaller box office will be complete in December, but a temporary box office is open from noon to 5 p.m. weekdays on the corner of Maryland and Delaware streets. There will be new grab-and-go concession stands that allow guests to collect their own food, beverages and merchandise, which speeds up transactions and makes for a touchless environment. Raines said the skywalk from the Virginia Avenue garage will be widened. “The intent of the project from the very beginning was to create the sense that you don’t want to miss the events at the fieldhouse,” she said. “We really wanted to create different areas for different generations that like to view events differently than they did in 1999. Younger fans who might want to stand at the bar and watch the game for half a game and sit in their seat for half the game have new options to do that.” The suite numbers have been reduced from 64 to 52. Completing the balcony area is set for Phase 3 in the summer of 2022.

HSE senior setter Weber guides volleyball team’s success By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior volleyball player Emily Weber has learned not to dwell on miscues. “I’ve made the most improvement in my mental game by far,” Weber said. “I’m learning to let plays roll off me and have next-ball mentality and to not dwell on a point I could’ve done something better.” The 6-foot Weber is the standout setter for the Royals, who were 19-2 as of Sept. 27 “I think this team has so much potential and we can go very far in the postseason,” Weber said. “Every practice, we’re getting better, and it makes me believe we can go far in the postseason.” Hamilton Southeastern coach Jason Young said Weber has been an excellent leader for the team. “She has the experience of a state (finals) run under her belt and shares that wisdom with her current teammates,” Young said. “She is a terrific player and a better person.” The Royals reached the Class 4A state

I decided that it was my passion and I wanted to see how much potential I really had to play at a higher level each season.” Weber reached 1,000 career assists earlier this season. “It was always in the back of my mind and a goal I wanted to reach for myself, but the improvement and making my teammates better and giving them the best possible ball was, and is, definitely more important to me,” she said. Weber committed to play volleyball for Wright State in Dayton, Ohio in December 2020. “Wright State felt like home to me, and after talking to the coaches for months and meeting the girls, I knew that I belonged there,” Weber said.

Free course to drive change in local teenagers By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boy’s & Girls Club of Boone County has partnered with UPS Foundation volunteer instructors to provide a free course to local teens to reduce distractSAFETY ed driving. Since 2012, the club has partnered with the UPS Foundation, which leads the shipping company’s philanthropic initiatives, to offer UPS Road Code, an educational course that teaches local teenagers how to limit driving distractions. Discussions on driving and the use of driving simulators, among other approaches, are part of the class. The course is provided through a grant from UPS. It will be taught by the club’s Zionsville Unit director, Glenn Sanford, and is based on the same safety training used by UPS’s drivers. Organizers say the program empowers teenagers to drive change in the community. The next session course will be offered from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County Zionsville Unit, 1575 Mulberry St. All community teens are eligible to participate. Registration is required, and space is limited. For more or to register, visit bgca.org/roadcode or contact the Zionsville unit at 317-873-6670 or gsanford@ bgcboone.org. “It is open to the community — for Zionsville, Whitestown and Lebanon,” said Amy Hartwig, the club’s events and marketing manager. “(Sanford) is certified with UPS to do this class. He talks about how to pay attention, smart driving and more of the safety parameters involved with young drivers.” National Teen Driver Safety Week is Oct. 17-23. “It’s important to talk to your teenager about the dangers of distracted driving and make sure they’re prepared when they get behind the wheel,” Sanford stated in a press release. “Education and awareness are crucial for preventing distracted driving. In addition to setting a good example to follow while in the driver’s seat, consider signing your teen up for safe driving classes to help prepare them for a lifetime on the road.”

Zionsville author’s new children’s book shares wonders of nature By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Zionsville author Cynthia Argentine has written a children’s book that was scheduled to be published Oct. 5 by Millbrook Press/Lerner Publishing. Argentine said the 32-page book, “Night Becomes Day: Changes in Nature,” explains the dynamics of nature at a preschool and elementary reading level and will be available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other book sellers, including local 4 Kids Books & Toys at 4450 Weston Pointe Dr. Suite 120, off Michigan Road. “Night Becomes Day” focuses on biology, life cycles, earth science and other examples of “how nature is always at work,” Argentine said. Her goal is for children to contemplate the wonders of the world around them. Published in the creative nonfiction genre, the book provides examples of changes in nature, such as volcanic eruptions, and includes additional information about the science behind the changes in the back of the book. “We go into a little more about the mechanics of how that might work or give a little bit more information for an older child or a teacher so (that) they can serve a child,” Argentine said. “In that way, the book can work for a wider range of ages, from a younger child who maybe can’t read it on their own yet to an older child who could learn about the science a little bit more.” Argentine grew up in Vermont, where she spent much of her time outdoors, in a canoe, a sailboat or exploring the creek behind her home. Her love of nature led her to earn dual major degrees in English and environmental science from the College of William & Mary in Virginia and earn a master’s degree in environmental law from Vermont Law School. Later, Argentine, who has three adult children, worked as an environmental consultant. Her book “STEAM Jobs in Cybersecurity,” published in 2019 by Rourke Educational Media, taught middle school-age children the importance of cybersecurity with examples of famous computer hacks. She also has written for national and local magazines. Argentine is under contract to write an-

Following the planned Oct. 5 release of Zionsville author Cynthia Argentine’s new children’s book, “Night Becomes Day: Changes in Nature,” she will participate in multiple local events to publicize her work and educate children about nature. “I love our library here in town, and Laura Gangstad, who is one of the librarians and a friend of mine, has been a very helpful supporter,” Argentine said. “She and I met and said, ‘What can we do to increase programming connected to the book (that) also involves people in the community?’ Now that the nature center is located within the library, it was perfect to partner with them.” From 5 to 5:45 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Zionsville Nature Center in the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library, at 250 N. 5th Street, kids in grades K-3 are invited to a book birthday party, where Argentine will talk about the inspiration for the book and lead children through stations that showcase changes in nature.

ESSAY

HUMOR

And the list goes on

A party worth waiting for

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. No, really, let me count the ways. Everybody makes lists. We love them — grocery, favorite and bucket. In their best form, they help us to stay focused and live by priorities set by our earlier selves. In their worst form, they become false gods leading us to believe that having lists, alone and in themselves, is sufficient. Isn’t the point of lists the actions that are required to complete them and not just their creation? Regardless, lists now clutter the media, social or otherwise, with full lists dedicated to the “best lists on the internet.” Sure, it can be fun to imagine the 10 top songs of the decade or the 100 most popular names for our poodle. But in a world where our attention is sold by technology companies like cans of tomatoes, every time we click, someone makes money. And lists are the ultimate clickbait device. Following a list requires a different button to proceed from Item 1 to Item 2. The more we click, the more they profit. Universities, towns, cities, pop stars and even the producers of “Survivor Island” understand the perception value of being at the top of the list, and the web is only too eager to gain from it. Do lists have any value? Can we rely upon their accuracy, upon the design of their criteria, or even the bias of their survey? Do we know the legitimate standards by which to judge anything as “the best” or “the worst?” Even as we assume that lists are innocuous little helpers, are they giving much upon which to depend? Or do they mislead us into a trap of overconfidence? This column now includes everything on its draft list, so it must be complete, right?

What do you do when your 78-yearold father dies during a global pandemic when his peer group is most at risk? You postpone the funeral for 12 months and then party like it’s 1999! Or 2021. Really, any year other than 2020. We started the celebration of life weekend with a mother/daughters visit to his fake gravesite (he was cremated and is now scattered in various places across the U.S, including — but not limited to — Garden City, S.C., and Pebble Beach, Calif.) to toast Dad with his beloved vodka. From there, we headed to the neighborhood steak joint to reminisce about our most favorite vacation antics (Tish falling slow-mo into a pool) and Christmas Eve skits (“Silence of the Lambs”). Saturday saw a mass in Dad’s honor, complete with an honor guard of 30 judges; a retired priest who changed a prayer mid-read, muttering, “I don’t like that one;” a gospel singer who had everyone weeping with the most powerful rendition of “Amazing Grace” I’ve ever heard; and a touching eulogy given by one of Dad’s dearest friends. And I’d be remiss without mentioning that my four sisters and I stole the “show” with our introductory remarks about which of us was Dad’s favorite (it’s me, Emily, so back off!). More than 150 people joined us afterward at a reception to tell more stories of Dad, laugh at the photos that filled the space and enjoy some truly incredible deviled eggs. Waiting a year for closure was hard, but it gave us all the space and courage to celebrate Dad in a way that he deserved – a party for the ages. Peace out.

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan October is one of the most popular months to enjoy fall foliage and hiking trails. Before you head out, make sure you take PODIATRY the proper precautions to avoid any foot or ankle injuries. Check out my three tips for preventing problems. PROTECTION When you hit the trails, uneven surfaces, branches or rocks on the path can cause you to misstep. That could leave you with a sprained or twisted ankle — and the need to walk back out on that injured foot. Protect yourself by picking a high-top hiking boot with plenty of ankle support. Strong, well-insulated and moisture-proof boots with steel or graphite shanks offer excellent ankle and foot support that help lessen stress and muscle fatigue to reduce injury risk. The supportive shank decreases strain on the arch by allowing the boot to distribute impact as the foot moves forward. So, if a boot bends in the middle, don’t buy it. BLISTERS Your feet can rub against your shoes causing a blister to form and lead to discomfort. To

prevent blisters, keep your feet dry by choosing sweat-wicking athletic socks for the first layer. For the second layer, wool socks add warmth, absorb moisture and help make hiking boots more comfortable. Make sure socks and boots fit securely to avoid rubbing. Bring adhesive bandages or padding to cover rough spots and avoid further irritation. If a blister pops, wash the area with clean water, then apply antibiotic cream and cover to avoid infection. OVERUSE Pain usually occurs from overuse, even from just walking. If you’re not accustomed to walking on sloped or uneven ground, your legs and feet will get tired and cause muscles and tendons to ache. To avoid a serious injury, such as a severe ankle sprain or an Achilles tendon rupture, rest if you start hurting. If pain or swelling persists the next day from any type of foot or ankle injury, come in and see us right away.

A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC. Contact him at drs@westfieldfoot.com.

DISPATCHES Wake up faster — If you have trouble waking up in the morning, try using your shower as a stimulant. Switch the water temperature from hot to cold several times, holding each temperature for about 10 seconds. The changes in temperature can rev up your blood flow, which can help make you more alert. Source: BottomLineHouseholdMagic.com Hidden sugars — Added sugars come in many forms, so it can be hard to find on the ingredients list of your foods. There are at least 61 different forms of sugars. Some of the lesser-known sugars include agave nectar, cane juice, dextrin, malt syrup, mannose and sorghum. For the complete list of sugar names, visit sugarscience.ucsf. edu.

Civic Theatre presents all-Black cast in ‘The Color Purple’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kendra Randle’s connection with “The Color Purple” goes back several years. “When the first cast that THEATER Oprah Winfrey presented, I had the opportunity to go see it in Broadway in New York City with my family,” said Randle, a 2007 Lawrence Central High School graduate who was in middle school at the time. “That was Randle one of the first Broadway productions I ever saw. It was great to see people who looked like me and people of color to be performing. You don’t often get to see an all-Black cast. “It was a very powerful thing for me at a young age. It tells a powerful story as well.” Randle is now set to perform as Nettie in Civic Theatre’s production of “The Color Purple,” set for Oct. 8 to 23 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The presentation features the first all-Black cast of a Civic Theatre production since 1988 when it staged a version of “Guys and Dolls” in Indianapolis. The musical adaption of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book spotlights Celie, a down-trodden young woman whose personal awakening through the course of 40 years forms the center of the plot. “The Color Purple” was made into a 1985 movie featuring Winfrey. Randle plays Nettie, Celie’s younger sister. “It exudes sisterhood and the relationship she has,” said Randle, who is an assistant principal at an Indianapolis middle school. “I don’t have a sister in real life, but I have an older brother. I’m the baby of the family, and in the show I also play the baby. I’m looking to embody what it looks like to have that relationship with a sister. I’m close to my brother. “Also, Nettie wants to be a teacher. I

taught in the classroom for seven years and went on to administration.” Indianapolis resident Bridgette Ludlow plays the lead role of Celie. “I had seen the movie before and seen the Broadway revival of it with Cynthia Ervio,” Ludlow said. “I’ve always followed Cynthia Ervio’s career and thought it was a fantastic role to play. Celie is just an interesting character to play. There are a bunch of challenges. It’s mostly having to separate myself from the character of Celie emotionally. In the show, Celie is beaten down verbally and physically and mentally. It’s definitely a challenge to go home after being so engrossed in the script. She is always told she is ugly. We all have our own insecurities and I know I have mine as a person, especially being an actress. “It’s hard to go home and separate myself from that.” Indianapolis resident Miata McMichel plays Squeak, Harpo’s mistress, in her first Civic production. “I’ve seen the movie several times,” she said. “It’s really heavy content, so I wasn’t

allowed to watch when I was young. I’ve not seen it on stage before, only YouTube clips of it. Normal human nature is to turn your nose up at the thought of the other woman. It’s been fun to tell that story on stage of the other woman. It gives the mistress a human side.” McMichel said the stage version gives Squeak’s character more depth. She also said having an all-Black cast again at Civic is long overdue. “I’m just glad to be a part of that groundbreaking moment,” she said. “Hopefully, we’ll see more of that in years to come.” Jonathan Studdard plays two roles — the Preacher and Ol’ Mister. He also is part of the ensemble. “It keeps me on my toes, for sure,” Studdard said. “It’s a little busy, but I love it.” The Indianapolis resident had played the title role in “The Cat in the Hat” several times at Civic. Studdard, who grew up in Carmel, performed as the Preacher and in the ensemble in a version of “The Color Purple” on a regional tour several years ago.

Actor gets dream role By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Phantom has been a dream role for Logan Moore since he was a kid. “But not MUSICAL this Phantom,” Moore said. The Indianapolis resident was a fan of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Phantom of the Opera.” Moore “However, I have fallen in love with (Maury) Yeston’s ‘Phantom’ and the story of Erik, the Phantom,” Moore said. “The Phantom is more human in this version and actually has a story that gets to develop in the show. You get his backstory. You learn about his mother and father, why he lives in the catacombs underneath the opera house. There is also a beautiful number with Erik and his father at the end of the show that will make for no dry eyes in the house. Getting to know who Erik is and what he has gone through in his lifetime has been quite the undertaking, but what an actor dreams of being able to portray.” Moore will perform in Beef & Boards Din-

ner Theatre’s production of “Phantom” from Oct. 7 to Nov. 21. He learned about “Phantom” when Richard White came to Beef & Boards to perform in “Man of La Mancha.” White played Erik in the world premiere of “Phantom.” “What I have learned while sharing the stage with Richard White is that he unapologetically throws himself into whatever character he needs to become,” Moore said. Curry “Richard showed that the connection was extremely important. I loved sharing the stage with him because I trusted him fully due to that connection.” Indianapolis resident Eddie Curry played Joseph Buquet in the first production of “Phantom” that Beef & Boards presented in 1993. This time, Curry plays Carrière, a role he has wanted to play since the first time he saw the show. It is a role the late Jack Dabdoub debuted in the world premiere with White. Curry got to know Dabdoub when working with him at a theater in Galveston, Texas. Curry also has worked with White. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2450 E. 146th St., Westfield What to get: Spicy ramen Price: $14 Anna’s take: Since National Noodle Day is Oct. 6, I wanted to publish a review about a noodle dish in advance to give you a chance to celebrate. One of my favorite restaurants is Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya, and I always order the same thing — spicy ramen. The dish consists of rich pork broth flavored with a house-made blend of chilies, garlic and spices. It has pork chashu, or braised pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and, of course, plenty of noodles. It’s a warm, comforting dish that is always incredibly

tasty. Also, be sure to try the pork gyoza ($6), which are pan-fried dumplings served with a delicious soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Kizuki has a great little bar, and my boyfriend and I are regulars. We visit almost weekly, order a sake and gyoza to enjoy at the bar, then take the ramen home.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern living room in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 1992 home is in downtown Carmel. The new owners were eager to refresh the dated living room into a more sophisticated space.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The fireplace is now the focal point of the room, with oversized tile positioned dramatically from floor to ceiling. • The former fireplace, hearth and mantel were replaced with a sleek fireplace insert. • Luxury vinyl flooring replaced the carpet and connects the living room to the adjoining kitchen (remodeled at the same time). • A custom built, curved island support is the perfect transition between the living room and kitchen.

In 1915, after becoming famous as a columnist for Ladies Home Journal, she urged Indiana’s governor to preserve Turkey Run in its natural state. At the same time, Richard Lieber, a German immigrant, sought to establish a state park system to preserve Indiana’s natural resources. The efforts of Lieber, Straus and others led to the creation of Indiana’s state park system in 1916, the state’s centennial year. Using private funds, Turkey Run was purchased and given to Indiana the same year. In 1918, Lieber purchased a cabin built from tulip poplar logs in 1848 and moved it to the park, where it remains. Straus died the same year and

Overnight guests at Turkey Run State Park stay in the 61 rooms in the inn or in rental cabins or campsites, all reservable in advance.

Another leads over a suspension bridge to Rocky Hollow Falls Canyon Nature Preserve. An easy trail leads to an 1871 log church, moved to the park in 1923, that conducts nonde-
