new locations are in churches and neighborhood clubhouses.

According to two FDA consumer safety officers who testified during the trial, on several occasions infants were injected with drugs compounded by Pharmakon that were significantly over-potent.

According to evidence presented at the trial, in February 2016, the multiple potency failures culminated in Pharmakon’s distribution of super-potent morphine sulfate, an opioid pain medication, to hospitals in Indianapolis and Chicago that was 246 times the regular strength. Nurses at the Indianapolis hospital administered the morphine, not knowing it was super potent, to infants in the pediatric unit. Three infants suffered adverse effects. One infant needed to be revived through the administration of Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, and was sent by helicopter to a nearby hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Elmer’s sentencing date has not been scheduled, but he could face a maximum punishment of up to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for conspiracy to defraud the FDA and obstruct FDA inspections. The nine misdemeanor counts of adulterating drugs each carry a maximum punishment of one year in prison and a fine of $100,000.

Church to participate in Global 6K for Water

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Faith Presbyterian Church Pastor Charlotte Lohrenz and fundraiser church members have participated in several long-distance races for World Vision, the largest non-governmental producer of water in the world.

World Vision visits communities and establishes relationships to build infrastructure to provide water. According to the organization, people walk an average of 3.7 miles a day to get water if they don’t have access to it. The Global 6K for Water is held at host sites around the world. Faith Presbyterian Church, 8170 Hague Rd., will participate in one of the global races at 8 a.m.

May 4. The church’s team has a 100-person cap and is approximately half way there.

“What the Global 6K for Water does is provide the opportunity for people to walk, or for some people to run, that 3.7-mile distance,” Lohrenz said.

The $50 registration fee is the amount

it takes to provide clean water to a person for a lifetime. Participants receive a T-shirt and a bib with a picture of the child who will be receiving the water.

“They can really make the connection with that particular person,” Lohrenz said.

The race will take place at the Monon entrance near 67th Street and Cornell Road in Broad Ripple. The church has a goal of raising $5,000 from the event.

The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program is designed for teachers to renew their commitment to teaching by allowing them to pursue their dreams and passions.

Zelencik plans to use the grant to hike the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile trail from France to Spain, which leads to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in Galicia, Spain.

“I wrote the grant with the rationale to work on my Spanish language skills. We have a growing population of ESL and ENL students and a lot of international students coming from Spain,” said Zelencik, who has taught at Mt. Vernon High School for 15 years. “I like to hike. I like the out-

doors, so I thought, what better way than to go to Spain and hike the El Camino?”

Zelencik has had four students from Spain in the past three years.

In March, Zelencik began studying Spanish at home. He will travel to Paris this summer and begin his hike in France.

Zelencik has been working on his physical conditioning in advance of the trip.

“A lot of it is hitting the gym and improving my own personal fitness,” he said.

“When the weather turns and gets nicer and consistently warmer, I’m going to get out on weekends and walk as much as I can. I’ve never done a long-distance hike.”

Zelencik has applied for the grant three times. This was his first succesful application.

Snoke’s grant also revolves around hiking. She was awarded the grant on her first application.

“We are going to learn to backpack. My husband and I are day hikers and have never done anything overnight,” Snoke said.

Unlike most grant recipients, Snoke is doing her trip in phases: one each during spring break, summer break, fall break and winter break. She and her husband spent

Geist-area teachers receive Lilly Endowment grants four days and three knights hiking the 60mile Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana.

The Knobstone is Indiana’s longest hiking trail.

During the summer, the couple will travel to Canada and hike the Juan de Fuca trail for three days. Then, during fall break, they will hike the Grand Canyon. For winter break, they will hike the Outer Mountain Loop at Big Ben National Park in Texas.

“Many people (grant recipients) tend to do one bigger trip,” Snoke said. “The grant also covers all the equipment, and part of why we have never gotten into backpacking is we will go and look at a tent and it’s $400, and that’s just the first thing.

We have to buy sleeping bags, which if you want them light for backpacking, they are very expensive. Then there’s cooking, a cookstove, a pot to cook in, lightweight spoons. We only have little day packs. We had to buy bigger backpacks.”

Besides equipment, the grant also covers travel expenses.

“Part of what I wrote into the grant, too, is not to just do this this year,” Snoke said.

“Hopefully, we can carry this forward. I think that’s part of maybe why they chose

my proposal was because I kind of wrote it as this is not just a one-time thing, this is something I can take with me forever. This can always help me with the stress of the job. This is something that’s relaxing, and it can help me stay healthy as a teacher.”

Experiencing challenges Sunnyside Elementary teacher Leslie Snoke knows backpacking is challenging.

By taking on the challenge, she is confident the experience will better equip her to help students deal with their personal trials.

“I think the challenges we put ourselves through will help me be more compassionate toward my students who are going through challenges,” Snoke said. “They are dealing with a lot more personal challenges than hiking.”

Snoke also plans to start a nature club and an outdoor lab space at Sunnyside Elementary. She will create activities for students, such as journaling about being in nature, nature scavenger hunts and more.

ESSA Y Time passages

LE T T ER Cambell’s cartoon insulting, ignorant

Commentary by Terry Anker Preparations are well under way for the impending high school graduation of our youngest. With the milestone has come the review of countless photographs, each imbued with countless memories.

Somewhere along the way, he grew up. And it is good. Still, the years have marched by with such grandeur and fanfare that we barely noticed. Now, there he stands, on the brink of heading off into the world.

To be entirely honest, the tempest can leave one breathless. How can he be ready to go? How can we be ready to let him?

Just as we indulged in a bit of anxiety-nurturing self-pity, the evening mail arrived and in it was an invitation, cleverly marked with the familiar banner from the newspaper printed in my very own high school decades ago. The class president and a committee of familiar names were summoning me home to recognize the accomplishment of a high school graduation occurring long before cellphones, electric cars or social media. While distracted by the advancing years of our progeny, our own anniversaries were ticking away. How could so much time have passed? There must be some mistake.

Unique among most things in the physical world, time moves more slowly the closer one is to it. Were we to stare at our watch, it would take significant commitment to endure as the second hand swept around the face. Yet, we sit comfortably while the years fly by, waiting to take action. Self-improvement, work on broken or damaged family relationships and bucket lists written but never implemented loom as we imagine time to be the lumbering second hand rather than a whipping hurricane. Can it be both? Do we have time to decide?

Fun at a funeral Commentary by Danielle Wilson Funerals. Is it wrong to say that under the right circumstances, they can be a lot of fun? Case in point, I’ve just returned from a weekend to celebrate the life humor of my best friend’s dad. He was 88, had a remarkable career as a trial attorney and was one of the nicest men I have known. As I gathered with her, my twin sister and two of our other close gal pals, we realized that we hadn’t been together since our 20-year high school reunion back in 2010.

Sure, there were tears (not from me, of course, at least not publicly because I bottle up emotions until they erupt unexpectedly in a drive-thru). But overall, there was joy and laughter and hysterical memories of teenage antics. Two of us had brought along scrapbooks from the late 1980s, depicting self-organized photo shoots in taffeta gowns and big hair. We giggled at how skinny we all were but how fat we remem-

bered being. We recalled awkward school dances and scandalous spring break vacations, forgotten boyfriends and girl dramas, stupid wine coolers and even stupider fad diets. We even learned a few new things about each other, like the fact that two of our “Fab Five” secretly went to the Bahamas without any of us knowing!

The best part, though, was enjoying the true friendship that can only come after 30 years of knowing someone, of experiencing marriage and motherhood and, now, loss together.

So, yeah, funerals are sad, and I am certainly not looking forward to the next, but honestly, I haven’t had as much fun in a long time.

Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK “If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.”

-Mario Andretti

Editor, I found Tim Campbell’s March 26 illustration depicting an unvaccinated child hooked up to an IV covered in spots insulting and ignorant.

He also misspelled “anti-vaxxer” — the correct term is “vaccine safety advocate.”

Parents who question vaccine safety are the ones who take the time to actually read the vaccine inserts, scientific studies and educate themselves before blindly following the CDC-recommended immunization schedule, which is currently 72 doses before the age of 18 (by comparison, in 1983 it was only 24 doses). They know that the VICP (Vaccine Injury Compensation Program) has paid out more than $4 billion to families with vaccineinjured children. They know that pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued and that taxpayers pay these families. Even more alarming is that a 2009 Harvard study found that only 1 percent of adverse reactions are ever reported; therefore, vaccine injury and death is much greater than we realize.

Given these statistics, parents have a right to be concerned. It’s not about being “antivax” but about educating ourselves, advocating for safer vaccines, demanding unbiased studies free from conflicts of interest (aka pharma-funded) and ultimately wanting informed consent — every patient’s right.

Stand-up comedy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I always dread the arrival of the monthly AARP magazine. My wife picks through it and confronts me with ways humor we need to amend our current financial and medical approaches to life in our senior years.

“Listen to this, Dick. Men over 50 — that’s you since 1997 — who eat fish just once a month are 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack and will live 10 years longer.”

“Wow, now that is amazing! So, what’s for dinner?”

“Turkey burgers. I don’t want to stink up the house.”

This month’s issue had a list of medical questions, including one that caused some distress in our house. One reader was concerned that after she climbed a flight of stairs, she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Is this a symptom of heart disease?” she asked. Apparently, she was just out of shape, but then the article’s author offered this: “Here’s a better test. Can you sit on the ground and get up without using your hands? An inability to do this is linked to mortality in adults over 50.”

Mary Ellen and I got down on the floor

in a sitting position, which for me was already way harder than I remembered. We squirmed, rolled around on the rug, grunted, banged into each other and started laughing (which is good for your heart, so we accomplished something).

“I’m sorry, Mary Ellen, there’s no way I can get off the ground without using my hands.

It’s impossible.”

“I saw it in a movie once. This guy sat on his carpet and did it easily.”

“You were watching ‘Arabian Nights.’”

On YouTube, there were lots of videos of people doing this very exercise. What really unnerved me is that there is a 10-point scale and you lose points for using your arms to get up onto your feet. Loss of four points means your chances of living the next five years are reduced. The next time Mary Ellen and I tried the move, I only lost one point.

To get to a standing position, I didn’t require my forearms, my elbows, or my hands.

I required my wife.

Immunotherapy activates the immune system to help the body recognize the cancer earlier. For more information, visit lung.org.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Don’t reach for probiotics just yet -- For some people, taking a course of antibiotics may cause digestive upset and diarrhea. That’s why so many people now take probiotic supplements after antibiotics.

The probiotics will replenish the “friendly” bacteria that are killed by the antibiotics, restoring the “microbiome” -- the balance of gut bacteria that we all need for good health (and good digestion). But surprisingly, proof of the effectiveness of this strategy has been highly debated. Two large studies have taken a closer look, and the argument for using over-the-counter probiotics after antibiotics does not look strong. In the latest study, researchers treated 21 volunteers with a seven-day course of commonly prescribed wide-spectrum antibiotics.bSome volunteers were randomly assigned to take an 11-strain probiotic mixture after the course of antibiotics. Result: The microbiomes of the volunteers who didn’t take probiotics recovered within three weeks of the cessation of antibiotics, while those in the probiotic group did not recover even five months after stopping antibiotics.

dispatch Picking the best movie theater seat Even if you love the film you’re watching, getting stuck with a bad seat in the movie theater is all it takes to ruin your cinema experience. Some seats are obviously not ideal, like seats in the very front row or at the edges of the auditorium. But when it comes to all that room in the middle, picking the perfect place to sit may feel like guesswork. According to Popular Science, you shouldn’t select your movie theater seat at random. To see as much of the action as possible, sit in a chair that lines you up with the center of the screen. Moviegoers in this spot will also enjoy better sound quality: Theaters with surround sound blast audio from speakers around the room, creating a harmony that strikes a perfect balance in the middle of the theater. Sitting in the middle of a row may seem like an obvious tip, but things get a little more complicated when deciding how far away from the screen you should be. Instead of choosing the dead-center row, Vulture recommends sitting about two-thirds of the way back. This is where audio engineers do the primary tests on a theater’s sound system, so the middle seat of this row ends up giving moviegoers the optimal sound experience.

Stock of the Week - The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) is incorrectly seen by many investors as just a brokerage offering low-priced investments. But that is only part of the story. To get high ongoing returns, companies must possess sustainable advantages.Of the different types, behavioral ones are the most enduring.

That is what Schwab has, because it owns a bank in addition to its investment arm.

It pays low interest on cash deposits, including ones held by Schwab investors -- who, for behavioral reasons, stay with the convenience of easy in-and-out money within the Schwab platform. This low cost of funds boosts Schwab’s whole business. And as a bank, it can lend -- at high rates -- for everything from margin loans to mortgages. All this is on top of the better-known part of Schwab’s business, in the brokerage field. Even if the U.S. economy slows over the next couple of years, Schwab’s banking strength should help it achieve continued revenue and earnings growth. Revenue was $10.13 billion last year and is likely to be $11.07 billion this year and $11.76 billion in 2020.

And Schwab’s dividend of $0.68/share/yr. recently yielded 1.53 percent and appears secure..

Civic delivers ‘Newsies’ at The Tarkington

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Johnny Miller has a special fondness for “Newsies,” so naturally he is delighted to be part of the cast. theater “This is one of my favorite shows of all time with such an amazing cast,” Miller said. “I can’t wait for opening night. I can’t wait for the people to come see it. I can’t find anything I don’t like. I’ve listened to it quite a few times.”

Miller, a Park Tudor High School junior and Carmel resident, plays Buttons in “Newsies,” which Civic Theatre presents April 26 to May 11 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The musical is based on the Disney film.

Jake Letts, a Carmel High School graduate and a Ball State student, plays the lead role of Jack Kelly.

Kelly is the charismatic leader of the newsboys and helps lead a strike when New York World publisher Joseph Pulitzer raises the price the newsboys must pay to buy the newspapers from the distribution centers. It is loosely based on New York City’s newsboys’ strike of 1899.

Miller has acted in the Civic’s summer program, but this is his first main stage show with Civic.

“I’m a singer who happens to move,” Miller said. “I’m definitely in the ensemble, but I kind of do a little bit of everything.

Anne Beck, our choreographer, keeps me busy. I have so much fun, it overshadows any problems.”

Miller said he became interested in musical theater a couple of years ago.

“It was my sister who first showed me this show,” Miller said. “That was my entry into really getting into the theater world.

This show means something special to me, for sure.”

In Civic’s Young Artists Program, Miller appeared in “Grease” as Roger, one of the T Birds, in 2017 and played one of the gamblers in “Guys and Dolls.”

Carmel High School sophomore Emily Chrzanowski plays Les, a newsboy.

“I’ve seen the Disney movie and I’ve watched the Broadway stage version,” Chrzanowski said. “The music is amaz-

ing. I love the music. It so touching and the story is so beautiful. Even though it’s taken place over a century ago, it really resonates with today’s environment.”

Chrzanowski also performed in “Guys and Dolls” in 2018. On Civic’s main stage in the 2017-18 season, Chrzanowski played Kate, the orphan, in “Annie” and was in the choir for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

“I love dancing, singing and acting. I love it all,” she said.

Emily Schaab, a Noblesville resident, is performing in her first show with Civic.

Schaab previously performed with Footlite Musicals and the old Theatre on the Square, which is now The District Theatre.

Schaab plays several different roles.

“My main role is Hannah, a secretary,” she said. “I also play a nun, a bowery beauty and a newsie named Newbie.”

Schaab said she enjoys playing the mix of characters.

“I love the opportunity to play several different characters,” said Schaab, who is originally from New Palestine. “It’s been really fun for me.”

Schaab said she has seen the Broadway version several times on Netflix.

“I really wanted to do a Civic show, so it was kismet that it was the right time,” she said. “I auditioned and they put me where they needed me.”

ATI stages ‘Forbidden Broadway’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Don Farrell and his fellow actors had one problem during the first rehearsal for “Forbidden parody Broadway: It’s Back, It’s New and Better than Ever.”

“It’s like we all reverted back to high school,” Farrell said. “We were constantly cracking each other up. We Farrell have to get the laughs out of the way now so that we don’t laugh on stage and we allow the audience to laugh.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana founders Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins, along with Logan Moore, are appearing in the musical parody from April 26 to May 19 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“We’re making it fresh for those who have seen what we’ve done in the past,” Farrell said. “And it’s going to be great for people that have never seen it before. It’s zany. A lot of the shows we are parodying have been done in the area. We’re doing something on ‘Newsies,’ which Civic Theatre will be doing at the same time.”

ATI had staged “Forbidden Broadway” in 2011 and then a version at District Theatre in Indianapolis in July 2018 There are 28 Broadway shows parodied in the performance.

Billy Kimmel directed the District Theatre production and is returning to direct again. Kimmel estimated 85 percent of the material has changed since the July show. Some greatest hits Kimmel are staples, Kimmel said.

Kimmel has been involved with “Forbidden Broadway” since 2003.

“I’ve done national tours and Broadway productions through the years,” Kimmel said. “They finished the last version of ‘Forbidden Broadway’ in 2014. The show has been running more than 30 years. It started at a little club in 1982 and grew and grew.”

Gerard Alessandrini, creator of “Forbidden Broadway,” is now focused on “Spamilton: An American Parody.”

Kimmel and Collins have known each other since attending Ohio University together. Kimmel has acted and directed with ATI since it began in 2005.

Blueprint for Improvement: Building a better bathroom in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: This home was built in 2004 in Carmel’s Valleybrook neighborhood. The owners fell in love with the location and the layout of the home and knew they could make cosmetic updates to suit their style.

the challenge The homeowners wanted to update several areas, so the projects were planned in phases. Once the interior was complete (including master bath, kitchen, two bathrooms and basement), the homeowners moved in and the exterior phase began.

After

The Solution This bathroom had great space but hadn’t had any updates in several years. The homeowners decided to update the look and layout to create a space they could truly enjoy.

1. The linen closet was removed to allow space for a second master closet, accessed from the bedroom.

2. The cabinetry to the left and right of the sink area features pull-out shelves and an extended depth for ample storage.

3. The bathtub was removed to make way for a larger walk-in shower with two heads. The toilet was relocated to its own room.

4. The quartz countertop and backsplash beautifully complement the black slatetile flooring!

Dispatches Wood floor repair — Some wood-floor scratches look worse than they really are. If you run your fingers over the scratch and you don’t feel a deep gouge, try this remedy to make it disappear. Dab a bit of white toothpaste onto the minor scratch, and rub it in with a damp sponge. Wipe the scratch area completely clean with a dry cloth, and your scratch should be gone.

Visiting Grand Central Station Commentary by Don Knebel New York City’s iconic Grand Central Terminal, usually called Grand Central Station, is famous for the travel vaulted ceiling of its Main Concourse. Sky watchers have long noticed curious discrepancies between the ceiling and what it was supposed to mimic.

In February 1913, the New York Central Railroad opened the Grand Central Terminal at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in New York City to service the many inter-city passenger trains entering and leaving the city every day.

To make sure passengers appreciated the meaning of “grand,” the 48-acre facility included an enormous concourse at the center of its ground level. The 30,000-square-foot hall featured an elliptical barrel ceiling rising 125 feet above the floor. The original idea of covering the ceiling with skylights was scrapped in favor of painting it blue and adding 2,500 stars arranged to depict the constellations visible in New York’s winter sky. Immediately after the public opening, New Yorkers pointed out that the positions of most of the constellations were reversed left to right from their observable positions. No one has adequately explained the mix-up, which was intentionally repeated when the celestial mural was recreated on a wooden ceiling placed

beneath the leaky original.

Today, Grand Central Station’s 44 underground platforms, the most of any railroad terminal in the world, serve more than 250,000 passengers traveling each day within New York City and to and from nearby cities.

An additional 20 million people visit the terminal each year to enjoy its 60 shops, 35 restaurants or just each other, consistently ranking it among the world’s 10-most visited places.
