State officials announce initiative to help long-term care facilities

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com State officials have announced a five-step initiative to assist long-term care facilities, which PANDEMIC collectively account for a disproportionate number of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said during an Oct. Holcomb 21 virtual press briefing that the state would “meet the surge with a surge of our own.”

“Our goal is to provide some relief for the staff members and the residents, slow the spread among them and educate and improve all of those known to be working infection-control procedures,” Holcomb said.

Beginning Nov. 1, the state will send the Indiana National Guard to all long-term care facilities that report at least one positive case to assist with testing, reporting test results, screening employees and establishing infection-control practices. Eventually, the assistance will expand to each of the state’s 535 long-term facilities, according to state health officials.

The initiative will last through at least the end of the year, Holcomb said.

The state also plans to hire clinical staff from the health care reserve workforce to supplement long-term care resources. To be comprised of retired and unemployed Hoosiers trained in health care, the workforce will be trained on best practices for patient care and infection control.

State health officials said the long-term care facilities would be visited at least three times each week.

To our valued readers: It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the

“After more than two months of no requests for our health care reserve workforce, we have received 11 requests for assistance from long-term care facilities just this week,” said Dr. Lindsay Weaver, the Indiana State Dept. of Health’s chief medical officer.

To increase supplies of personal protective equipment, state officials will provide 2 million N95 masks to long-term care Box facilities so that all staff will have one whenever they interact with patients. The state also plans to provide 400,000 face shields and 680,000 gowns to the facilities.

The initiative will require CMS infection control training for all long-term care employees and reduce admissions to facilities to allow an immediate discharge from a hospital to a patient’s home for in-home rehabilitation.

Because Indiana has reported increases in its seven-day positivity rate, daily cases, deaths and hospitalizations, Holcomb said the state will continue its “surgical approach” to the pandemic by providing targeted care, support and supplies to areas

and facilities that need it most.

Holcomb said the successful reopening of schools have proven the spread of COVID-19 can be slowed when residents follow proper mitigation efforts, wear face coverings and practice social distancing.

The state’s seven-day positivity rate increased from 3.9 percent Sept. 16 to 6.9 percent Oct. 14. Positive COVID-19 cases have hit record highs in prior weeks, including a single-day record of 2,489 cases Oct. 16. As of press time, Indiana reported 3,790 COVID-19 deaths. Long-term care facilities have reported 2,205 (58 percent) of the state’s COVID-19 deaths. Moreover, hospitalizations have increased to near-record highs.

As of Oct. 20, the state reported 1,484 COVID-19 hospitalizations, its highest total since early May. “Slowing the spread of this infection and sickness inside these facilities has a direct correlation (on) how that impacts our hospitalization rates,” Holcomb said. “What happens in the community that ends up in the facility ends up in a hospital, so it’s all the same stream.

“It’s either upstream or downstream no matter where you are, so it’s just critically important that we are there, partnering with them and doing all we can.”

“Slowing the spread of this infection and sickness inside these facilities has a direct correlation (on) how that impacts our hospitalization rates. What happens in the community that ends up in the facility ends up in a hospital, so it’s all the same stream.”

levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue to deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail.

Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online continues and never will change.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

Hey, look, we’re in our mid-teens news@currentnoblesville.com An idea whose hatching was July 5, 2005, and whose entry into public on Oct. 24, 2006, is celebrating its ANNIVERSARY 15th anniversary. We’re talking about our “baby,” Current Publishing.

Fifteen years is a long time, in many respects, and in others it represents a period that has gone by in a flash. Sometimes, it seems like just yesterday we published our first edition of Current in Carmel, the flagship of our six-newspaper company, and it keeps us young-ish if not our hair a bit more “blonde.” Since Carmel was launched, we followed with editions for Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, Geist and Zionsville. We’re confident there will be other communities coming on line, and we’ll have more details on that at the appropriate time.

The company and its products always have been by, for and about the communities we serve. We are data driven, which means we rely on independent research of readership to determine the course our editorial plan will take. We’ll never tire of saying or stating this: News is what our

WE’RE OPEN! 19TH YEAR

readers say it is. It has served us and our communities well. That never will change.

The successes Current has enjoyed through the years would not be possible without people. We fervently believe you win with people, and that has borne itself out. So, allow us to state this message of earnest gratitude: From our readers to the donors of our Support Local Journalism campaign, from our advertising partners to our dedicated news, production and sales organizations and front office, we are incredibly fortunate to be in your midst.

We once were told, pre-launch, by a former major metropolitan daily newspaper publisher that “the big dogs will chew you up and spit you out in about six weeks.”

Oops! We’re still here and plowing forward more fervently and stronger than ever, and we treat the opportunity to prove newspapers work as a privilege and a responsibility.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, there’s a deadline around here somewhere. Onward!

Live the Brooks Farm

Lifestyle!

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com This is the first year Russell Farms has been open on weekdays, a decision made in part due to the THINGS TO DO COVID-19 pandemic.

“Before this year, we had so many schools coming out and we built an educational program around it, so we couldn’t be open to the public,” owner Laura Russell said. “We couldn’t handle people playing out here while we were trying to teach (students) about farming, too.”

Russell Farms, 12290 E. 191st St., is open weekdays noon to 4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“The reason we have to wait until 12 (on weekdays) is we do still have a few schools coming out for field trips,” Russell said.

Tractor hayrides aren’t offered on weekdays. Concession items, such as hamburgers and hotdogs, are offered on weekends.

On weekdays, visitors can order from a snack shack that offers prepackaged items.

Russell said it has been a busy year at the 56-acre farm “I think a lot of people are ready to get out of their house,” she said. “The nice thing is, and we have had it like this for years, is we have spread everything out so much so nobody’s on top of each other,” Russell said.

“Everybody is doing social distancing, and we didn’t have to move anything because it was so spread out, so that was nice.”

Admission on weekends is $12 for ages 3 and older, free for military members and veterans and $8 for people 65 and older. On weekdays, general admission is $10 and free for military members and veterans. Admission includes all activities. This is the farm’s 19th year of operation.

Invasive plants indentified

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Although there were no surprises in a recent Hamilton County Invasives Partnership survey, the information will OUTDOORS be beneficial.

The Hamilton County Invasives Partnership, which includes representatives from municipalities, townships, city/county parks departments, urban foresters, conservationists and groups across the county, completed a survey that identifies and ranks the most problematic invasive species in Hamilton County. Through identification, HIP and its community partners will be better able to achieve their mission to mobilize land stewards to manage and eliminate invasive plant species in the county, according to Kim Gauen, chair of the HIP technical committee.

“The results confirmed our suspicions, and it is good to have data that supports them,” Gauen said. “We asked a forester, a biologist and an ecologist to review our results and they concurred with them. The survey results also correlate with reports from EDDMapS, an invasive species monitoring program. The forester, biologist and ecologist we contacted agreed that the top plants identified by this survey cause the most ecological, economic and health damage.”

The top 10 invasive plant species in the county are Asian bush honeysuckle, Callery pear (Bradford pear), wintercreeper, Canada thistle, garlic mustard, burning bush, multiflora rose, autumn olive, Japanese honeysuckle and Japanese knotweed.

“Unfortunately, you can easily spot Asian bush honeysuckle along most state and county roads, along the White River, at the farm field edges, in home landscapes, along the Monon Trail and in our beloved city parks. McGregor Park is an exception,” Gauen said. “Callery pear is most apparent in fields. The northeast corner of State Road 38 and Hague Road is a good example.

Callery pear’s thorns — yes, they do have thorns — will make it difficult to remediate this area.”

Even now, timing is everything in treating a heart attack

The emergency room is still the right place for immediate care for heart attacks, with precautions in place for your safety Heather Imel woke one morning to tightness in her chest and numbness in her arm. She didn’t ignore the pain. Instead, she went to the emergency room at an Ascension hospital.

Her emergency room care teams immediately ran a series of tests that revealed she’d had a minor heart attack.

“I was scared to death,” recalled Heather, “but my doctors reassured me that it was going to be OK.” She was quickly transported to a dedicated heart care center, where a minimally invasive heart catheterization revealed she had four blockages and would need openheart surgery.

“Once you recognize the symptoms of a heart attack, taking immediate action is the most important thing you can do to prevent permanent damage to your heart,” said Edward Fry, MD, Chair of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Services at Ascension St. Vincent.

“Patients can trust that our emergency rooms are prepared to deliver urgent heart care with full safety precautions in place.”

Don’t delay emergency care for heart attack symptoms “Our research shows some patients are delaying or even avoiding trips to the ER, even when they have heart attack symptoms,” said Jonathan Nalli, Senior Vice President, Ascension, and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension St. Vincent. “Not getting the urgent heart care they need can have a serious and lasting impact on their health. If you have these symptoms, don’t wait – not even a few minutes.”

During a heart attack, timing is critical. Every minute that goes by can lead to lost heart muscle and potentially permanent damage. The faster that the flow of blood can be restored to a blocked artery, the better the outcome for patients.

ERs at Ascension St Vincent hospitals are always open 24/7, with labs and imaging services on-site. Emergency care teams are able to connect patients to experienced cardiologists, vascular specialists and heart surgeons at Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center, so they can get personalized follow-up care for their heart conditions, including cardiac rehabilitation.

Heart care teams at Ascension St. Vincent have expertise in leaky heart valves, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), heart catheterization, structural heart damage, and minimally invasive heart procedures for blocked arteries that do not require open-heart surgery.

Ascension St. Vincent also has the largest chronic total occlusion (CTO) program in the Indiana region.

Know the symptoms of a heart attack People who recognize the warning signs of a heart attack – whether in themselves, friends or loved ones – shouldn’t wait to get emergency care. And it’s important to realize that women may experience heart attacks differently than men. Watch for these symptoms and talk about them with loved ones: • Chest pain or discomfort.

• Discomfort or pain in arm or shoulder.

These symptoms may also be present frequently in men but are more common in women: • Lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting.

• Jaw, neck or back pain.

• Shortness of breath.

Taking strong precautions to protect patients and caregivers Visits to medical facilities decreased when the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began because many people have been concerned about exposure to the virus.

But Ascension St. Vincent facilities are fully prepared for the safety of patients in our care. And, seeking ER care

quickly for serious conditions like heart attacks can help save lives and improve recovery.

Ascension St. Vincent Noblesville has implemented strict precautions.

Precautions include: • Providing masks to all who enter Ascension St. Vincent hospitals and ERs. • Virtual waiting rooms to keep loved ones connected and updated.

• Maintaining proper social distancing in waiting rooms.

• Designating separate emergency triage and care areas for patients with symptoms of COVID-19.

• Continuing to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Screening patients, visitors, doctors, nurses and care teams.

• Extensively cleaning and disinfecting all areas.

Compassionate, personalized care – even when the need is urgent Heather’s heart health improved considerably following her surgery and rehabilitation. Her family is thankful for the immediate, comprehensive and compassionate care she received from the moment she arrived at the ER to her follow-up appointments, which were made for her by the ER concierge program at Ascension St. Vincent.

“They really care. They want to make things better,” she said. “They want to make sure you’re given 100 percent of their care.”

If you or a loved one is experiencing heart attack symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the chest or arm, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Find an Ascension St. Vincent hospital ER at GetStVincentCare.com. © Ascension 2020. All rights reserved.

COVER STORY

led to the company opening a holiday popup shop, Moonshot Toys, a few blocks from its current location at 50 N. Ninth St. Moonshot Toys is on the first floor of The Gordon Building at 110 N. Ninth St. The Gordon family also owns the building housing Moonshot Games, so Manship reached out to the family.

“They are planning a restaurant (on the first floor of The Gordon Building), and they are seeking a prime restaurant partner and are waiting until spring to move the needle,” Manship said. “So I asked, ‘What would you think about me opening a holiday popup store?’”

Moonshot Toys opened Oct. 1 and will remain open for 90 days throughout the holiday season.

To date, sales have been strong.

“Sales have been awesome,” Manship said. “What we would like to prove between now and Christmas is, if people do want this, we will explore putting a toy store on the square somewhere else. Our long-term plan is to have four different Moonshot locations in and around downtown Noblesville.”

The plan is to have a board game shop, a toy shop, a standalone puzzle shop and a collectibles shop.

Moonshot Games’ sales skyrocket; owner opens toy store in downtown Noblesville

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Although many retail stores struggled during the COVID-19 shutdown in March, the opposite was true for Moonshot Games in downtown Noblesville.

Owner Jayson Manship didn’t expect sales to skyrocket during the pandemic, but they did.

“When COVID hit, what was interesting for us was, we had no idea what to expect,” the Noblesville resident said. “We had no idea if we were going to make it, if people would care about board games. We kept our hourly folks on as long as we could but we did furlough some.”

When Moonshot Games received a Small Business Resiliency Grant from the City of Noblesville, Manship gained the confidence to hire back some of the employees.

Then, the board game shop saw sales increase.

“When people were quarantined at home, they were looking for things to do, so puzzles, specifically, and board games became hot,” he said. “We were at the right place at the right time, or really the right place at the wrong time because COVID sucks. But we were in a situation where people wanted board games and puzzles.”

When the lockdown began, one of Manship’s employees moved in with Manship and his family to help conduct business out of Manship’s garage.

“We didn’t know what was going to happen with the talk about statewide shutdowns, so I came in here to the game store with my truck and trailer and loaded up every board game in the store and took them to my house,” Manship said. “The store manager moved in with my wife and I and quarantined with us and lived in our guest room for 45 days and started e-commerce.

“We didn’t have a website going into COVID, so we started selling board games

on the website and selling them out of our garage.”

During the shutdown, Moonshot Games launched a delivery service and hand-delivered games to people who ordered them

in the Indianapolis area. One of the busiest days was when the business delivered 100 orders in the Indianapolis market.

Moonshot Games’ sales are 300 percent higher than this time last year. The boom

Noblesville resident Jayson Manship launched Moonshot Games in 2017 when he determined that people spend too much time on social media.

“We live in this toxic social media culture, and games are something that can help create human interaction and human conversation,” Manship said. “We really strive to get folks playing around a table together. Our primary focus was around mental health and around the concept that people could find competition, find cooperation, find fun with sitting around playing a board game.

“We wanted to do something cool and interesting and thought that was a cool business and cool community opportunity for downtown Noblesville.”

Manship previously owned an internet marketing company on the upstairs floor of The Gordon Building while the downstairs was vacant. He tried to open a high-end art gallery but felt that didn’t fit downtown Noblesville, so he opened Moonshot Games instead.

“We wanted something different and accidentally stumbled into board games,” he said.

ESSAY

LETTER

Unknown origins

Let natural immunity run its course

Commentary by Terry Anker Among the countless good and bad memories of middle school, recollections of morning announcements seem particularly clear. The principal would proclaim the circumstances of the physical plant, the menu (“hot” lunch was served to those of us not lucky enough to carry the “Dukes of Hazzard” lunch box filled with Little Debbie from home), and the latest on the “special” news of the day (the janitor was retiring after 39 years and in third period, carnations were being delivered from secret admirers were being delivered).

By lunch, school was aflutter with news of the goings-on: “Sally received two! One must be from her boyfriend – but who dared to send the other? Tom didn’t get any! Surely, Shirley would have bought one for him?” The game was at hand to find out who might be the admirer, and just as some were disappointed to have received none, others were filled with excitement and trepidation regarding the identity of their would-be paramour. “Would there be a love match, or could it have come from the icky one in my sixth-period science class?” It was all in good fun, and save a few broken hearts, little long-term damage was done.

Flash forward a few decades, and we find anonymous delivery perfected in a world of informants, unnamed sources, social media, whistleblowers and government immunity. If we don’t know the origin, can we know our interest or belief in the veracity of the progenitor?

Anonymity protects us from embarrassment, even retaliation, and enables us to reduce personal accountability, empowering us to do things we might otherwise shun. But does the very thing that makes it attractive to the sender make it suspect to the receiver?

Shanks for the memories Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve just returned from my weeklong “Heal the Soul” vacation to Florida. Here’s what I learned: HUMOR • Road trips sound like the way to go in this time of a global pandemic and a tight economy, but after 17 hours in a packed Honda Accord with two stinky teenage girls and my Nicorette-chewing bald spouse, I’m not thinking about all the airport germs we avoided or the money we saved by driving. More like, “How do I discreetly fashion a shiv from my Wendy’s spork and quietly shank whoever keeps passing gas?”

• Rum Runners make everything better, particularly when sipped oceanside while scarfing down piping-hot conch fritters. I could even discuss our s@&%-show president without blowing a gasket! Truly miraculous!

• Sand fleas are no joke. My blonde, blue-eyed, pasty-skinned daughter was “attacked” nearly every time she set foot outside of AC, even with copious

amounts of non-DEET-containing products. Her legs were literally covered in hundreds of angry red bites and itchy bumps. I did feel sorry for her, but as she was my child who contracted COVID-19 in August, which subsequently resulted in my own 10-day quarantine, I’ve also delighted in saying, “You had the plague, now you’ve got the pox!” A mother’s love is strong.

• I still kind of dig my husband. Sure, he aggravated me to the point of appropriating prison culture during our drive, but away from the demands of work and kids, he’s funny and thoughtful and very sexy in sunglasses and a tan. It was good to be able to see that side of him and remember why I really didn’t want to shank him.

Peace out.

I still kind of dig my husband. Sure, he aggravated me to the point of appropriating prison culture during our drive, but away from the demands of work and kids, he’s funny and thoughtful and very sexy in sunglasses and a tan.

Editor, Do the COVID-19 tests have the ability to indicate the beginning of the virus, the middle part or even the tail end within a person? This information would greatly affect the number of days in a quarantine.

What is the common denominator of people who get really sick and others who pass away? Possibly the common denominator is with people who religiously get a flu shot every year versus those who do not take the flu vaccine?

The COVID-19 could be attaching to the previous flu vaccines within a person which makes them sick or takes their lives. Is there data available to support this question and would it be brought forward to the public?

We would be better off just riding the tide and let natural immunity take its course for the planet population. How different is this virus versus all other flu viruses? I welcome truthful answers to all of these questions.

Mari Briggs, Sheridan

DISPATCHES Basil, the anti-aging herb – New research is showing Indian basil has anti-aging properties and is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including stress, heart and respiratory problems, diabetes, digestive and skin disorders, inflammation and pain. The traditional method is to boil fresh leaves and water until the water reduces to half.

Then you can either drink the resulting tea or eat the crushed herb when it cools.

Plasma demand surges in Indiana hospitals — Hospital demand for convalescent plasma throughout Indiana is now far exceeding donations coming in. Demand is 50 percent in recent days compared to what it was just 30 days ago. Convalescent plasma is used by hospitals across Indiana to help treat a surging number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is appealing to Hoosiers who have recovered from coronavirus to donate their antibody-rich plasma immediately at any one of its donor centers.

As a right offensive tackle and guard for the Indianapolis Colts, Ryan Diem was entrusted with protecting quarNEW BIZ terback Peyton Manning.

Now, his main mission is to protect customers from odors emanating from their garbage cans.

“Like most people, I found the odor unbearable at times,” the Zionsville resident said. “I would drag the bins out to the driveway, stick my head in and attempt to clean all the crud out of them and try to make them smell better. It never seemed like it worked well or lasted very long.”

Diem said he came across a service that wasn’t offered in the area. He discovered there were a couple of manufacturers making the specialized vehicles that automated the whole process.

“It instantly piqued my interest,” Diem said. “I thought what a clever idea and why not bring that to Indianapolis. The opportunity is immense. This is a problem everyone has because your garbage bins smell, and you don’t like it. I figured this is a great solution to help people out and help clean up our communities.”

So, Diem launched Bin Scrub at the end of April. The service is available in Zionsville, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, Brownsburg and the north Indianapolis area. The eco-friendly process removes odors and grime while eliminating germs.

The self-contained trucks use 230-degree, high-pressure water and steam in combination with mild biodegradable deodorizers to strip odor and grime out of standard household rolling garbage and recycling

bins. Diem said with the high temperature, the steam loosens tough deposits and kills germs in the process.

“That’s great because a lot of bacteria is causing the odor in your bins,” he said. “In this day and age, anything we can do to kill germs would be a benefit to just about everybody.”

Diem said he has been working on the business for a year and wanted to launch sooner but was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Diem has two trucks and is planning on expanding his fleet quickly “Folks are loving it,” he said. “Our rate of retention is almost 100 percent. You wouldn’t want to stop doing this after you started it.”

The trucks can clean dumpsters as well and serve residential and commercial proprieties.

“We’ve done some work at restaurants, hotels and apartment complexes,” he said.

Cost for curbside cleaning plans is available for as little as $9 per bin, Diem said.

Indianapolis Opera presents shorter version of ‘Madame Butterfly’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This will be like no other production of “Madame Butterfly” Alfred Savia has ever conducted.

MUSIC Savia will be the principal guest conductor for Indianapolis Opera’s live-staged performance of the Giacomo Puccini classic at 4 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Basile Opera Center in Indianapolis.

“I’ve done it several times. I know it very well. It’s one of my favorite operas,” Savia said.

There will be a small audience of approximately 40 people, primarily donors, because of social distancing practices amid the coronavirus pandemic. The production will be available on a virtual link.

“It’s a former Greek Orthodox Church and it’s a very large space,” said Savia, who also is the artistic advisor for Indianapolis Opera.

“We’ve loaded a set in of the house that Pinkerton buys for Pinkerton and Butterfly.

It’s a tall ceiling and enough room to put the set.”

Savia said the entire production is scaled down.

“We are probably doing somewhere between two-thirds and three-fourths of the opera,” Savia said of the 90-minute performance. “We’ve cut out certain characters and the chorus, so it can be done in an abridged fashion. There will be an intermission, but we’re doing it in two acts rather than the traditional three acts.”

Savia said the audience, which will be required to wear face masks, will be socially distanced from the singers. Cast members will be distanced, so face coverings will not be used.

“We’re not having intimate scenes between Pinkerton and Butterfly,” Savia said.

“We thought maybe kiss her hand, but we are not even doing that. It’s going to be pretty obvious they are falling in love and what is about to happen, but they are keeping their space.”

Savia said a string quartet and bass will perform. Piano will cover the wind and

brass parts.

“It will be six players that will be representing the orchestra,” Savia said. “It’s what we can do in the space. With the singing actors and needing space, it would be difficult to do even a reduced orchestra.”

“Madame Butterfly” was originally scheduled to be at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in November. Due to the pandemic, there was discussion of moving it to the Palladium with the chorus being in the loft behind.

“When it became obvious we couldn’t get enough audience members to do that (with restricted capacity), we decided to go virtual,” Savia said. “Normally, we would have brought in the leads and used our resident artists for some of the supporting roles. But in this case, the resident artists are doing all of the major roles, except for Pinkerton, which is being sung by Ganson Salmon, who is a graduate of the resident artist program.”

Salmon, who grew up in Indianapolis, was performing with the Sarasota Opera

when the pandemic hit in mid-March.

“We’re fortunate we have the best group of resident artists we’ve ever had.

Certainly in the three or so years I’ve been working with Indianapolis Opera, it’s the very best voices we’ve had,” Savia said. “Hayley Lipke, who is our Madame Butterfly, is a star in the making. She has a sensational voice. Every one of them are every bit up to the part. I’ve been amazed when we’ve been putting this together how everyone has stepped up and risen to the challenge. I think people will be elated with how well this has come together and how we didn’t need to bring in guest artists for this slightly more intimate virtual production.”

Savia said the goal is to stage the larger production at a larger theater in the spring of 2021.

“That’s the plan, but with many plans in the time of COVID, things change,” Savia said.

Cost for the virtual link is $15 per household. For more, visit indyopera.org.

Shepherd takes on honorary chairman of CSO fundraising campaign editorial@youarecurrent.com Dave Shepherd, founder and chairman of Shepherd Insurance, has always challenged himself in the business world or on the basketball court.

Shepherd has taken on a new challenge as honorary chairman of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s new 2020-21 fund-raising campaign, called “PLEDGE 45: Funding a Future Together.”

Shepherd, a 1970 Carmel High School graduate, won the Indiana Mr. Basketball title his senior year.

“I have always been known as an athlete and not necessarily as a man of the arts, but I do believe passionately that the arts are very important to our community, especially in Carmel,” stated Shepherd, who also is planning to be among the first to donate and will encourage others to do the same.

Fishers woman helps with mural

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Shaunt’e Lewis lent a hand in the Jiffy Lube’s first digital mural.

The Fishers resident served as ART an apprentice to Artur Silva on the project that features hands.

“With all the attention brought to our hands with the hand washing and distancing ourselves, it made us bring more awareness to our hands, and how we use our hands for touching, showing emotion, shaking hands, cleaning, playing,” Lewis said. “I don’t think we thought about it as much as we did this year with the COVID.” The digital mural is part of Jiffy Lube of Indiana’s statewide “Every Part Matters” public art project and is on the Westfield Jiffy Lube at 1840 E 151st St. “It’s amazing to see how it makes the side of the building pop,” Lewis said. “Bringing my family to see it or other people sending me pictures of it makes me feel good that I’m contributing my artwork to the world. I love hearing what everyone has to say about it.”

time living in Indianapolis and South Bend, worked individually on illustrations on the project. They exchanged emails on the drawings. She estimated the process took three weeks.

“Artur took different hand pictures and then he illustrated them,” Lewis said. “He gave me the concept and I made my own hand illustrations. We emailed back and forth.”

Silva used black and white images and Lewis used color images.

Lewis said it was Silva’s concept and she incorporated some of the things like baby hands and a heart.

I ordered the Deep Dish Malnati Chicago Classic, which is made with lean sausage, extra cheese and vine-ripened tomato sauce on Malnati’s special buttercrust.

It was amazing. I picked up my order for carryout, and when you do, staff will ask if it’s OK not to pre-cut the pizza. Although it is a bit of a hassle to cut such a thick pizza at home, it is worth it so the toppings

Sorting out confusion on Rome’s Palatine Hill Commentary by Don Knebel Palatine Hill, the centermost of Rome’s famous seven hills, contains the ruins of ancient structures whose similar TRAVEL names often confuse modern visitors.

During Rome’s Republican era, Palatine Hill was the home of Rome’s most prosperous citizens. In 27 B.C., after Octavian had defeated forces loyal to Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, the Roman Senate proclaimed him emperor, with the title “Augustus.” He built his official residence on Palatine Hill.

The ruins of that relatively modest home are today open to the public and called “Domus Augustini” (House of Augustus). Later emperors, also given the title Augustus, followed Octavian’s lead and built their palaces on Palatine Hill, effectively making it the heart of the Roman Empire. Domitian, who became Roman emperor in A.D. 81, built a magnificent palace on Palatine Hill overlooking the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum. Also used by Domitian’s successors, the palace, the vast ruins of which also are open to the public, became known as “Domus Augustana” (House of the Emperor).

During his 15-year reign, Domitian built two fields that also often bear confusing names. In Campus Martius (Field of Mars), Domitian erected a 250-meter-long stadium that seated up to 30,000 spectators. Dedicated in A.D. 86, the elongated facility was used for athletic competitions and called “Circus Argonalis” (Competition Arena). Today, the interior of what is often called “Stadio di Domiziano” (Stadium of Domitian) lies entirely beneath Piazza Navona, the largest public square in Rome. Just to the east of his palace, Domitian built a 146-meter-long field, surrounded by a two-story colonnaded portico. The exact purpose of what is often also referred to as “Stadio di Domiziano” remains unclear. It may have been used primarily as Domitian’s private garden. To prevent confusion with Circus Argonalis, the field is sometimes called simply “Stadium on Palatine Hill.”

55 AND BETTER Fall 2020

aula Lord is a lifelong gymnast and dancer who is painfully familiar with the heavy toll vigorous movement can exact on the body.

She’s also a certified expert in Pilates, neuroplasticity and postural rehabilitation who has developed a movement program for seniors that, among other benefits, increases joint mobility and helps the nervous system better communicate with the body.

“I speak from personal experience about returning to health from a body that has been quite broken with pain from overuse and poor mechanics,” said Lord, who owns BODY by Gym Roots in Fishers studio. “My body continues to improve daily, monthly and yearly.

“I continue to experiment on myself and apply my own teachings so that I am sharing what truly works.”

Lord, 53, created the program, JOYful JOYnts, 1 1/2 years ago as an in-person class. She began offering it exclusively through Zoom in midMarch because of the COVID-19 pandemic. New sessions are streamed each Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. and are offered free through the end of the year. Recordings are available that can be accessed at the user’s convenience.

Lord leads each class.

A Fishers resident, Lord is a Certified Pilates Teacher and a graduate of the USOC Sports Science College.

She is a Master of the Sport for USA Gymnastics, the highest level of coaching certification, and has a degree in physics. Moreover, she studies neuroplasticity, postural rehabilitation and energy healing and designed JOYful JOYnts with seniors in mind.

“I have been teaching and observing people in movement from the most functional, high-performance elite athletes to the least functional, (such as) people with injuries, illnesses, special needs, seniors, etc., so my eye has been uniquely adapted to see more than the average trainer,” Lord said. “I am confident and driven to share this program for the benefit of as many people as we can reach, especially with the focus on seniors, who have very few options in the way of proper fitness.”

Specifically, JOYful JOYnts is a

Fishers resident Paula Lord is the creator of JOYful JOYnts, an exercise program designed for seniors to increase mobility and reduce pain, among other benefits.

movement program that combines brain balancing, or neuroplasticity, and joint mobility exercises to “lubricate” joints and remove blockages to help participants move more comfortably while enhancing strength, flexibility and endurance.

“I was dealing with a few concerns for which I was hoping the JOYful JOYnts class could make a difference – posture, balance and lower back pain,” said Don Collins, a JOYful JOYnts client in Anderson. “I’m grateful to the class for improvements in my posture and balance, and the class has taught me things to do to continue improving.

“By the way, I’m 90 years old.”

Lynn Moskovitz-Thompson, a Westfield resident, is the business manager for the JOYful JOYnts program. Although targeted to seniors, she said people of all ages can benefit from the exercises.

“I have provided support in growing the program and standardizing the program (and) curriculum and creating a teacher training program,” said Moskovitz-Thompson, who has a degree in kinesiology and is the former owner of a movement facility.

“My experience comes as an enthused participant of the program.

“My daughter, a gymnast and dancer, has participated in the program and received wonderful benefit.”

Sessions are free through the end of the year. They are available to individuals as well as to wellness facilities, senior facilities and assisted living facilities. To join Zoom classes or access them for facilities, visit GymRootsinc. com/joyful-joynts.

The Lodge: Meet Rose Marie Horton

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

T

he Lodge Life Enrichment Director Stacey Butterfield is touched by resident Rose Marie Horton’s kindness.

“She has a servant’s heart,” Butterfield said.

“I started here a few weeks ago, and with COVID it’s been challenging for obvious reasons. Every WednesHorton day we meet together to serve, and we cut fabric for another team to make masks. Rose Marie and a few other women are loyal about getting together to serve. They’re giving back to their community.”

Horton said she believes God put her here to help others.

Horton has lived at The Lodge, the assisted living section of Harbor Manor in Noblesville since January 2016. Horton’s husband, Donald Lee Horton, died five years ago when they were living in Lewistown, Pa. Horton’s daughter Karen Steighner and her husband, David, live in Noblesville and suggested The Lodge. Horton, who has multiple sclerosis, gets around by using an electric wheelchair.

Lewistown is approximately 40 miles from Penn State’s campus. Horton is an avid sports fan and loves Penn State University, where all three of her children attended.

Do you have some favorite activities?

“We have candles to make for the teachers. We’ve do bingo every so often. We’ve had Bible study for quite a while. We have church once a week and I sure don’t want to miss that. We go outside and enjoy the sunshine. I’ve always liked to read and crochet. I was always involved in my church (Church of the Brethren). My faith has helped me all these years since I was diagnosed at 49 with multiple sclerosis, and I’m 84, I’ve been fighting this for quite a while. I set a goal, and when I get to that one, I set another one.

Now, my goal is maybe to get back to walking a little, but it’s going to take a while, I imagine.”

What was your career?

“I was a registered nurse, but I retired after I got the MS. It took me one solid year to write the resignation because I just loved the work.”

Here we grow again!

For the love of baseball Commentary by Chuck Vogt

R

andy Stimac fielded his first ground ball in 1948 at the age of 2. He was sitting in the grass with his mother, watching his father play professional baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm team. A foul ball rolled towards Stimac, hit him right in the chest, and knocked him over. His mother says he did not even flinch. She knew right away Stimac would follow in his dad’s footsteps playing baseball.

Baseball has kept Stimac in motion for 74 years. And he is still playing.

This season at Grand Park in Westfield, Stimac took the mound. He plays in an over-48 adult baseball league consisting of former high school, college and even semi-pro players. His team was down 7-2 and Stimac came in for the third and fourth innings, throwing two shutout innings. His team went on to win the game 14-8, with Stimac picking up the win.

One of Stimac’s highlights on the mound came in 1961, pitching against the team with the famous Tommy John.

Randy Stimac plays in the Hoosier Adult Baseball League. (Submitted photo)

“Many younger folks are familiar with the term ‘Tommy John surgery,’ but

they aren’t aware Tommy John was a professional baseball player,” Stimac said.

John was an All-Star pitcher for 26 years with the Indians, Dodgers, Yankees, White Sox and Angels. But back in 1961, Stimac was the winning pitcher, with his Otter Creek High School team beating John’s Terre Haute Gerstmeyer High School, 3-2. Stimac chuckles when he tells the story.

“Tommy played first base, he didn’t pitch in this game,” Stimac said.

After high school, with offers from colleges to play baseball, Stimac decided to attend Rose-Hulman. From Rose-Hulman, he then went on to the Army, where he also pitched for the Army baseball team. After serving our nation, he settled into a nice career of semi-professional baseball here in Indiana.

A few years ago, Stimac decided he wanted to pitch baseball again. At age 72, he joined Motion 4 Life Fitness.

“They have professional trainers who are knowledgeable. They listen and understand my goals and create work-

out plans that are much more than a treadmill,” he said. “That’s just what I needed to get into the kind of shape I need to be in for not only playing baseball with the younger guys, but to be able to pitch again, too.”

Stimac credits his ability to pitch to his personal training each week and daily workouts at the gym. He also had a nice compliment from his family doctor recently.

“I went in to see her for my annual physical after a recent knee surgery,” Stimac said. “She could not believe how good of shape I am in and said she appreciated receiving the fitness assessment updates from Dr. Carol Weesner (Motion 4 Life Fitness owner and founder). M4L feels like family now.

This gym is an important part of my life.”

The next time you hear someone singing, “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” it just might be Stimac!

Chuck Vogt plays in the Hoosier Adult Baseball League and is a teammate of Stimac on the Reds.

Working now with a personal trainer has been fantastic. I definitely have seen improvements.” Marilynn

IU HEALTH: MAMMOGRAM QUESTIONS

Three reasons why a mammogram is an important part of your preventive health

Who should get a mammogram?

All women over 40 should receive routine screening mammograms based on their level of risk for breast cancer. Your risk level can be determined by your primary care provider.

Why should women get a mammogram?

Routine mammography has been proven to reduce mortality from breast cancer. The goal is early detection. Breast cancer is easier to treat when it is detected early.

Why should women continue with mammogram screenings during COVID-19?

COVID has certainly disrupted our normal routines and mammography screening schedules. COVID has not disrupted breast cancer! It is important to maintain routine screenings. The full impact of possible delayed diagnosis of breast cancer due to COVID delays are not yet known. For most average risk, asymptomatic women, putting off a mammogram for several months should not cause a significant problem. If you have noticed changes in your breast such as a lump, skin changes, or bloody nipple discharge, call your doctor. Do not delay getting it checked out.

At what age should women begin screenings?

Women should meet with their primary care provider to discuss their level of risk for breast cancer and when it would be best for them to start getting mammograms. Each woman is different and requires a personalized approach to their screening care.

How often should women have a mammogram?

Indiana University Health recommends routine screening mammography to improve the likelihood of detecting breast cancer early. If you have specific questions about your level of risk for breast cancer, we recommend scheduling an appointment with your primary care provider.

How do you screen men?

Men are screened when needed with a clinical breast exam. If there is a known genetic mutation in a family member (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2), he may benefit from a risk assessment.

Your risk of developing breast cancer increases as you age. The older you get, the more you are at risk of developing breast cancer. That’s why mammograms aren’t a one-and-done test.

It’s my first time. What should I expect/what does the process look like?

Mammograms are performed by mammography technologists. The technologist will position your breast in the mammogram machine. The machine immobilizes the breast with compression. Once the breast is appropriately positioned, a mammogram is obtained (a low dose x-ray picture of the breast). Screening mammogram results are then mailed to the patient within several days.

ADVERTORIAL What changes or procedures have been put in place to protect patients against the spread of COVID-19?

Many changes have been made at IU Health facilities. These changes include screening questions for patients, required masks, socially distanced waiting areas and staggered appointment times. See full details at: Safe Care Pledge iuhealth.org/covid19/safe-care Can I take ibuprofen or another over-the-counter pain reliever before my mammogram to reduce discomfort?

Yes, ibuprofen or another over-the-counter pain reliever may be taken before your mammogram.

I don’t have a family history of breast cancer, but I worry about it. Can I start screening at an earlier age?

There is no proven benefit to beginning screening mammography prior to age 40 for women with no known genetic risk factors.

I’ve heard a lot about dense breast tissue. What does that mean and why is it important?

Having dense breast tissue is common (about half of the population) and normal. It is more common in younger and thinner women. It is important to be aware if you have dense breast tissue. It can limit the sensitivity of your mammogram and it does slightly increase your risk of developing breast cancer. If you have dense breast tissue, you may be eligible for supplemental screening. At IU Health, we offer whole breast automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) as a supplemental screening option.

What about screening ultrasound or thermography? Can that replace a mammogram?

Thermography is not approved by the FDA to replace mammography for breast cancer screening. There are currently no studies supporting the use of thermography alone or thermography as an adjunct to mammography that show clear benefits of the technique.

We do not recommend thermography. Ultrasound is a powerful tool when used in conjunction with mammography. It should not be used instead of mammography. Routine mammography is the only screening tool proven to reduce breast cancer mortality in average risk women.

How will you inform me of the results—by letter, electronically or by phone?

Results are mailed or are available on the patient portal.

What if the result is not good?

Patients needing to come back for supplemental imaging (an abnormal screening exam) are typically notified by phone and mail.

What if I have breast implants? Does that affect my mammograms?

Yes, women with breast implants have additional images taken — implant displaced images and implant included images. It is safe to get a mammogram with implants. It is difficult to image all of the breast tissue when implants are present.
