Zionsville mayor, council voice public disagreement

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron and the town council have voiced public disagreement about EXECUTIVE POWER the handling of boards with disciplinary powers with regard to the town’s police and fire departments.

The Zionsville Town Council unanimously voted during an Oct. 19 meeting to uphold Styron’s veto of two ordinances to establish safety boards for fire Styron and police matters. Styron said at the meeting that the move prevented litigation between the council and the mayor’s administration.

Styron said there were “numerous legal concerns” within the ordinances and urged the council to find common legal ground before voting to codify the ordinances.

Specifically, she lamented the possible inclusion of town council member appointing themselves and the council’s insistence that it be consulted before a department chief is demoted.

Styron said that she approached council President Josh Garrett and Vice President Bryan Traylor concerning a department head’s actions. Town officials would not identify the department head. According to Garrett, Styron recommended the department head be demoted.

Garrett said council leadership advised her to follow the town’s process for demotion, which he said has “long existed.” Garrett said he and Traylor found the situation “alarming,” and Garrett said the two found it “odd” the mayor, a Democrat, suggested demoting the department head and not terminating them given the number of accusations and “the scope of (the) unsubstantiated claims against this individual.” He said the council, comprised of all Republicans, was assured evidence against the individual existed but that it was never given access to view it in person after multiple requests.

In a five-page veto memorandum sent to the council, Styron’s administration researched the historical formation of the town’s board of police commissioners and safety board, which have disciplinary powers in such matters. She then recommended the town reconstitute the boards after her administration failed to find how or when the safety board was formed and only found

what she called an “uncodified ordinance” establishing a board of police commissioners in 2008. The safety board is composed of three town council members: Jason Plunkett, Alexander Choi and Traylor. Three of the five members of the board of police commissioners are town council members.

“The mayor’s approach with the safety board has been improperly constituted, and while we disagreed, we went about reconstituting it as a courtesy to her concerns,” Garrett said during the meeting.

The disagreement, in part, stems from the town’s structure. Typically, Garrett only Indiana cities have mayors, but Zionsville is an exception. The town created a mayoral position during its reorganization in 2014, when the town merged with Perry Township, according to Reorganization Resolution 2014-11, which outlined the merger and the structure of the reorganized town.

Styron stated she was concerned by a provision in the ordinances that allowed controlling seats on the boards to be filled by town council members, calling the notion atypical, a conflict of interest and a method of absorbing executive privileges. Styron stated the authority to make appointments to the boards rests with the mayor, and, in her veto memorandum, stated Indiana Code 36-4-9-6 supports her assertion, though the code grants the privilege to city executives with no mention of town executives.

The town’s reorganization resolution states, under general provision ZR2A8, that “all rights and responsibilities assigned by Indiana law to the town executive or town council president in his or her executive capacity are transferred to, and are rights and responsibilities of, the mayor. Powers include the ability to appoint members to and remove from boards, utilities and commissions, which were the power of the town council president prior to this reorganization.” The resolution, under general provision ZR2A12, also states that provisions of the 2014 reorganization resolution “control over state law and any conflicting item in the 2010 reorganization.”

Styron stated the mayor and town council should share the authority to appoint board members due to the town’s structure.

She advocated that boards be composed of citizen members, saying council members and town officials shouldn’t serve on the boards in the interest of independent

oversight.

The council, after receiving Styron’s veto memorandum and redlined versions of the ordinances with her suggestions, had a vote Oct. 19 on final drafts that still had provisions granting the council the power to appoint its members to the boards — up to three council members to each board.

Barnes & Thornburg attorney Heather Willey, who advises the council, said town council member appointments to safety boards are common in other municipalities.

Garrett said the ordinances were meant to clarify existing ordinances, did not grant new powers to the town council and shifted some powers to the mayor to better align the ordinances with the reorganization resolution.

On the question of whether the mayor must consult the council before demoting a department chief, the reorganization resolution, under general provision ZR2A24, states, “The mayor must have the approval of a majority of town council before the executive may discharge a department head” (with exception to the parks department head).

Styron stated that Indiana case law allows the town’s mayor to demote a department head. The reorganization resolution makes no mention of demoting department heads.

She asked the council to include such language in the ordinances.

But Garrett objected.

“While the reorganization is silent on the demotion in the rank of a police or fire chief, after conversations with the founders of the reorganization, we understand that the spirit of the provision was to require council approval before demoting the police or fire chief from their position as department head,” Garrett said. “A demotion of a police or fire chief from his or her position is effectively removing him or her as a department head.”

Garrett said consulting the council creates “a nonpolitical prosecution” and gives the accused a chance to defend themselves against unilateral action.

During the meeting, Styron said that if the town council did not vote to uphold her veto of the ordinances, they would leave her no choice but to pursue litigation, which she said would needlessly cost taxpayer dollars.

Yet by allowing Styron’s veto to stand, the police commissioners board and safety board revert to the way they operated prior to the introduction of the vetoed ordinances, Willey said. But Styron said the town must legally still codify an ordiance for a safety board.

ZEF to host virtual fundraiser to celebrate 25th anniversary

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Education Foundation will celebrate its 25th anniversary by hosting ZEF Bash, a virtual trivPANDEMIC ia event.

Traditionally, ZEF has hosted its largest fundraiser, Barn Bash, in the fall. This year’s event is being offered virtually in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to allow a safe way for residents to donate funds to support local teachers and schools.

The foundation will present ZEF Bash from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Nov. 14 on YouTube Live.

Hambone’s Trivia will be featured along with a silent auction, gift card pull, “trips of a lifetime” and the foundation’s annual Cap off the Night, where the new ZEF hat will be revealed.

ZEF was founded in 1995. During the past 25 years, it has awarded $1.5 million in grants to Zionsville Community Schools, funding projects in all eight schools. ZEF grants provide teachers need-

ed funds for creative and innovative ideas that the foundation believes lead to new educational experiences. The grants are funded by donations from local businesses, individuals, corporations and families.

There are two ways to form a team. A team of up to eight people can register for $160. Couple and family registration is $50 for two adults, or two adults plus children.

Register for the event at ZionsvilleEducationFoundation.org.

Teams can compete by participating at home via Zoom, at a small, socially distanced gathering or by reserving a table at a partner restaurant.

“It kind of meets people where they are this year,” ZEF Executive Director Lyle Browne said.

The winner of the trivia event will receive a ZEF Bash trophy created by Zionsville Community High School art students, with help from one of the school’s art teachers.

“I think ZEF has always worked to fund innovative ideas in our schools, and now is no different,” Browne said.

Nearly four years ago, Jennifer Nelson Williams and Sandy Sasso wondered if anyone would show up to the POLITICS event they organized — after what they viewed as a very disappointing general election — to discuss women’s issues.

They optimistically hoped for 50 guests and were shocked when the venue reached capacity at 500 people, with hundreds more waiting outside.

“There were just cars and cars of people wanting to come to this meeting, so we realized we had tapped a very deep need,” Sasso said. “That was the beginning of Women4Change.”

Now, with another presidential election on the horizon, the group has grown to include a full-time staff, nine interns and more than 5,000 members from across the state. It’s advocated for women’s issues at the Indiana Statehouse and in Washington, D.C., developed college chapters and created educational programs, but among its most significant accomplishments is bringing the voices of more women into the political process.

“One of the things I’ve heard over the last four years is that women who joined with us are now doing activities and speaking up in ways they never have before,” Nelson Williams said. “Many of the women, when they first made phone calls to their legislators, that was the first time they had done something like that, so that in itself is huge.

Bringing people forward into the political process is something we can feel very proud about.”

The nonprofit focuses its efforts on issues primarily affecting women, such as the

gender pay gap, women’s health issues and sexual assault and consent. A major focus this fall is encouraging voter turnout in the November election, as Indiana typically has among the smallest percentage of voters cast ballots in the nation.

“Our mission is to educate, equip and mobilize Hoosiers to create positive change for women,” Sasso said. “What we hope to accomplish is that women, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation, achieve equity in employment, in earnings, in health and in political, civic, cultural and corporate leadership.”

Women4Change is nonpartisan, although Nelson Williams said it has “progressive ideals.” Its board comprises Democrats and Republicans, and each event includes women representing viewpoints from both parties.

“Women are so good at being collaborative in their discussion, so we feel that Republican or Democrat, when more women come to the table it’s going to be a gentler process, more collaborative, with more people working together to come to a better solution,” said Nelson Williams, a Carmel resident and president of ARN Funeral and Cremation Services in Zionsville.

Sasso, a Carmel resident and rabbi who retired several years ago from Congregation Beth-El Zedeck in Indianapolis, said Women4Change’s commitment to being bipartisan is among its strengths.

“This was a way for women with different points of view to come together on issues which they could agree and to do it in a way that was respectful of others,” Sasso said. “We’re very proud of the diversity we have in our board and in our membership.”

Blood needed – Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is issuing an emergency appeal for blood donations as communities throughout the state face a potential crisis. Ideally, Versiti strives for a three-day supply of blood for its partner hospitals. Schools and businesses are typically Versiti’s largest source of blood donations this time of year. Because of remote work and virtual schooling, many of those drives have been canceled. Compared to an average year, donations have been cut by more than 50 percent – nearly 20,000 units of blood. Blood donors are needed now, Versiti officials say, to help ensure life-saving blood is available for Hoosiers who need it. O-negative and O-positive blood donors are most needed now. O-negative and O-positive blood can be transfused to all patients.

Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips

Zionsville announces Halloween plans news@currentinzionsville.com The Town of Zionsville has announced its plans for Halloween and will not post official trick-or-treat hours PANDEMIC this year.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health implications of trick-or-treating, town officials are referring residents to the Boone County Health Dept.’s recommendations to observe guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC has labeled traditional trick-or-treating as a higher-risk activity.

The CDC has deemed one-way trick-ortreating as a moderate risk activity, which includes individually wrapped goodie bags lined outside at the end of a resident’s driveway or edge of their yard, where families can grab them while continuing to social distance.

The CDC lists a number of moderate and lower-risk Halloween activities on its website, cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html#halloween.

Halloween is fast approaching, and trick-or-treating this year will look different due to the ever-changing landscape of COVID-19. Along with remembering to keep your child safe while filling their candy bags, here are some tips to keep you and your costumed kids safe this October 31:

• • • • •

Don’t share costume props Wash hands / Bring hand sanitizer Limit contact with touched surfaces Maintain social distancing of 6 feet Minimize gestures that promote contact

BCHD reports 37 cases, 4 deaths in county care facility

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. has reported a COVID-19 outbreak in a Boone County long-term-care facility resulting in 37 positive cases and four deaths.

PANDEMIC Twenty-five residents and 12 staff contracted the disease within Signature Healthcare at Parkwood, a long-term care facility in Lebanon. A strike team from the Indiana Dept. of Health is providing support, testing and improved mitigation efforts in the facility, according to the BCHD.

Since the start of the pandemic, Signature Healthcare at Parkwood has reported 64 cases and nine deaths attributed to COVID-19, which includes cases and deaths from the new outbreak, according to the BCHD. “On Oct. 7 was when we first started to hear that there was some activity (inside the facility) going on,” Haughton said. “We were keeping an eye on it, hoping it was just a freak thing where we were only going to see a couple of cases. But, unfortunately, we did start to see that increase, and we did start to see those deaths.”

The infections contributed to what was the county’s highest single-week total of COVID-19 cases since the start

of the pandemic, BCHD Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said of the week ending Oct. 16. The health department reported 73 positive cases that week, up from the 66 cases the week prior and the 43 cases two weeks before that. The four COVID-19 deaths are the first in the county since late July.

The state also reported a record single-day of 2,875 cases on Oct. 21.

Haughton said the record-highs underscore the importance of mitigation efforts as the holidays approach and people spend more time indoors as temperatures dip.

Ex-Colts offensive lineman discovers new way to offer protection

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As a right offensive tackle and guard for the Indianapolis Colts, Ryan Diem was entrusted with protecting quarterback 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 being 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 northern Indianapolis area. The eco-friendly process removes undesirable odors and grime while eliminating many dangerous germs.

The self-contained trucks use 230-degree, high-pressure water and steam in combination with mild biodegradable deodorizers to strip the 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 of 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 had been working on the business for a year and wanted to launch sooner but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

SECOND CAREER

Diem has two trucks and is planning on quickly expanding his fleet.

“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.

Zionsville resident Emily Thomas has been a monthly customer since early May. “We have two garbage cans and one recycling,” Thomas said. “As a family of six we fill them. We keep ours inside our garage and so we went from seriously stinky and frankly disgusting cans to not only clean and stink-free but with an eco-friendly pro-

cess to boot.”

Curbside cleaning plans are available for as little as $9 per bin, Diem said.

“In this day and age, anything we can do to kill germs would be a benefit to just about everybody.”

— Ryan Diem

After 11 NFL seasons, all with the Indianapolis Colts, Diem said he explored several industries as a partner and investor following his final season in 2011.

“I’ve been involved in several business ventures since I ended my time with the Colts,” Diem said. “Primarily, they were focused on technology investments and some commercial real estate investments as well. This is the first business with employees that I am running myself. The greatest difference is there is always something to do. As an investor, you end up sitting back waiting and watching, putting in two cents here and there. As operating owner, it’s nonstop. It’s exciting and something I’ve been able to create on my own.

“It’s neat to be in charge of the direction on how it operates and how it grows.”

Diem, 41, and his wife, Julia, are involved with a Strike Out Cancer fundraiser at Woodland Bowl, which is held at the end of January. It is a fundraiser for pediatric cancer research at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

“We’re not sure what we will do this year with the current (pandemic) environment, but we plan to do something,” Diem said. “It’s such a worthy cause. We can’t not do it. In the past three years, that event has raised a net of about $300,000.”

Diem said he got involved in the cause 15 years ago, taking part in a golf event to support fundraising for pediatric cancer.

Diem, who has lived in Zionsville for 14-plus years, said he is still passionate about football.

“I played football for over 25 years, so to completely walk away would be impossible,” he said. “I don’t live and die by how any certain team does, but I definitely pay attention to the Colts. I think (coach) Frank Reich and (General Manager) Chris Ballard have been an amazing combination for the club. They’re building something special, and you can see it right in front of our eyes right now.

“The offensive line is fun to watch because they have a really good group right now.”

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

ZCC partners for Bites of Boone County, offers insurance

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Chamber of Commerce, Boone County Economic Development Corp. and the Zionsville Chamber PANDEMIC of Commerce have announced a weeklong event that will showcase the county’s restaurants the first week of November.

The inaugural Bites of Boone County week will be Nov. 3-7. The event will be similar to Indianapolis’ Devour Indy, with the exception that participating restaurants won’t have to pay to participate and can provide a variety of dining options ranging from desserts to a three- or four-course menu, according to Allyson Gutwein, Zionsville Chamber of Commerce’s executive director.

Participating restaurants are: • Amore Pizzeria • Auberge • Backroads BBQ • Books & Brews • Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream • Cobblestone • El Toro Bravo of Zionsville • Fundae’s Ice Cream and Sweets • Grace Truck • Greek’s Pizzeria – Zionsville • Noah Grant’s Grill House & Oyster Bar • Parky’s Smokehouse • Rush on Main • Salty Cowboy • The Scoop • THAT Sports Bar • Zionsville Pizzeria The event will be held wherever businesses decide to welcome diners at their establishments, whether that be indoors or outdoors.

Gutwein said the event is expected to provide needed revenue for restaurants ahead of an unpredictable winter season

during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’ve got to make sure that people bring in what income they can while they can,” Gutwein said. “We don’t know what’s ahead, but we know that today people still feel comfortable dining (out), so let’s make sure that we encourage that and we support our restaurants as best we can.

For more, visit BitesofBooneCounty.org or follow Bites of Boone County on Facebook and Instagram. Gift cards will be given away at the event and on social media.

The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Conner Insurance and Ascension St. Vincent, also announced it will offer medical insurance to the chamber’s 450 members.

Offerings include major medical, life, voluntary-term life, long-term disability, shortterm disability, dental, vision, accident, critical illness, hospitalization and cancer coverage. Zionsville Chamber members range from merchants on Main Street to mid-sized business owners to professional services companies.

Chamber officials said they began researching the idea after speaking with other chambers from across the United States.

“We really wanted to do this because insurance is something that is so critical to many small businesses, and the options that we have made available to our businesses are really important,” Gutwein said.

“They help people who sometimes have a hard time finding or getting insurance for smaller businesses. We know this was something that would really benefit our members and help many member businesses to grow and feel more secure in what they do for themselves and their employees.”

For more, visit zionsvillechamber.org/insurance.html and arrange a time on the site for a conversation with Conner Insurance.

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.

Fishers woman helps with 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.”

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 11435 Spring Mill Rd., Suite 170, Carmel What to get: Deep Dish Malnati Chicago Classic Price: Large: $24.75 Anna’s take: I’d never had Chicago-style pizza before trying the new Lou Malnati’s in Carmel. 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.”
