To our valued readers: We hope you are well and will continue to be well.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have negative a impact on businesses across the nation and around the world. Current Publishing is in that group.

Difficult decisions continue to be made by ownership and the boards of directors, some hour by hour, and it still is with unyielding earnestness, empathy and respect that we inform you of important measures we have undertaken to secure the long-term viability of Current in Geist.

What began with the editions of April 7 and is expected to last up to and including the editions of June 30, Current will divide its total circulation to Geist by approximately 25 percent. That is, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail, and a supply of the editions will be made available at locations each week, including: • MashCraft Brewing: 11069 Allisonville Rd., Fishers. Hours of operation are 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon to 8 p.m. Friday through Saturday. Phone number is 317-863-5165.

• Porter Books and Bread: 5719 Lawton Loop E. Dr, Lawrence. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Phone number is 317-388-5046.

• St. Yared Ethiopian Cuisine: 11210 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant is closed Monday. Phone number is 317-363-4435 In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online will not change.

Again, as of this writing, this still is an interim measure until we can gain more clarity as the pandemic restrictions fade.

Would you please support us and our advertisers as we continue to be the source for hyper-local news?

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

Fishers man competes with LLS

By Chris Bavender news@currentinfishers.com A Fishers man is raising awareness of blood cancer in honor of his mother as part of the CANCER AWARENESS Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year campaign. Rich Pentz lost his mom to the disease in 2014.

“I was asked to do this two years ago but the timing wasn’t right, but I was approached again because people knew my story,” Pentz said. “This is a way to honor her.”

Pentz, along with more than a dozen others, is raising money and awareness for research and more effective treatments.

The campaign was originally slated to last 10 weeks, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been extended past its original end date of May 9 to June 20.

“At which time we plan to host a grand finale celebration where we will announce our total 21 candidate group fundraising total,” said Jeff Johnson, LLS Man & Woman of the Year director. “Additionally, we’ll announce the Woman of the Year and the Man

of the Year, the two individuals who have raised the most donations, during the 16week competition.”

Althout Pentz is still fundraising, he is mindful of his approach in light of the pandemic.

“For me, it is more about raising awareness, and that is what we hope to accomplish,” he said.

Pentz had partnered with 12-year-old Audrey Wampler, LLS Girl of the Year, on a spring fashion line. Wampler battled acute B cell lymphoblastic leukemia for 2 1/2 years. She rang the Victory Bell, signaling the end of treatment, in July 2019. She’s in remission today.

Wampler and Pentz have created a line of tanks, hoodies and shirts.

“We started working in December (2019) to start the brainstorming process,” Wampler said. “It was so fun to help put the creation together.

“Rich has so much energy and is so dedicated in the fight to save lives. It means so much to be able to help LLS and connect with others who are battling or who have battled.”

Victory gardens return

To our readers:

By Sam Montgomery news@currentnoblesville.com

In the face of changing conditions and practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date of Indiana’s primary election has been moved to June 2. There exists the possibility that date may be moved again.

Since many residents are opting for absentee voting for reasons of date uncertainty and social distancing, Current Publishing will provide its usual voting content online beginning May 5 and running through June 2. You may find it at youarecurrent.com/vote.

We believe this is the best way to keep early voters, and even those who wish to wait for the eventual election day, up to speed on each candidate, polling places and other pertinent information.

We sincerely thank you for reading Current.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hamilton County Master Gardeners Shelli Broadbent and Jennifer PANDEMIC Lambert have partnered with the Carmel Clay Public Library, with the support of the City of Carmel’s Economic Development and Community Relations Dept., to promote the concept of victory gardens to Carmel residents.

Victory gardens originated during World War I as food sources and to boost morale.

Carmel residents have options for planting them.

“They can certainly start them in their backyards, and there is also the Plots to Plates community garden behind Carmel Middle School,” Lambert said.

The program was launched with more than 2,800 victory garden bundles, which included 15 seed packs in each. Hamilton East Public Library donated an additional 1,000 seed packets.

The goal of the project is to encourage Carmel residents to share their harvests with the more than 30 food banks in Hamil-

ton County.

“The victory garden is about claiming victory over food insecurity and claiming victory over (COVID-19). It’s about moving on,” Broadbent said. “We want to encourage the public to grow now more than ever because despite everything that’s canceled, gardening is not canceled.”

A tote with seed bundles is available between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. near the main entrance of the Education Center at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. Each family may take one bundle, which will be available until May 16 while supplies last.

HOOK STANDS FOR:

LOWERING HEALTHCARE COSTS He will stop special interest handouts and exorbitant charges by healthcare providers. The healthcare industry makes political donations of $250 million per year for special interest laws resulting in higher drug costs and charges for procedures in excess of 20 times what Medicare pays.

REDUCING TRILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL DEFICITS He will eliminate wasteful spending and tax breaks that benefit the richest 5% of Americans. Increase rates on capital gains to the same rates paid on wages, so the 400 richest people no longer pay rates lower than the middle class, thereby avoiding another financial crisis and bankrupting our children.

ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE, NOW He will get rid of $40 billion in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and invest the savings in clean energy technology research. Climate change is impacting our health, agriculture and security by causing increases in respiratory and infectious diseases, droughts and national disasters.

We must ensure a safe and healthy future for our children.

REDUCING MINDLESS DEATHS BY FIREARMS He supports the International Association of Chiefs of Police approach to firearm safety. Requiring universal background checks for all gun purchases and stopping production of semi automatic assault weapons is a common sense approach to protecting our children, innocent citizens, and the 2nd amendment.

Fishers AgriPark to open this summer

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers AgriPark at the southeast quadrant of 113th Street COVER STORY and Florida Road is set to open this summer, although with some changes from the original plan.

Parks and Recreation Dept. Director Sarah Sandquist said the city is targeting a July opening.

Moreover, the City of Fishers will operate the park instead of partnering with Brandywine Creek Farms.

“We are excited we are going to open this summer. We are looking at the end of July when we will invite people to come to the farm,” Sandquist said. “We have moved our operations in-house and hired a couple of full-time (employees) who are managing the on-site operations.”

The new employees include coordinator Jackie Leeuw and farm manager Trevor Wildey.

Originally, the City of Fishers was contracted with Brandywine Creek Farms for a partnership on the park. The programming was supposed to be operated by the Parks and Recreation Dept. and the growing portion would be done by Brandywine Creek Farms. Now, the Parks and Recreation Dept.

will oversee all operations.

“Now, the farm will be fully operated by the City of Fishers, so we will take care of all planting, all harvesting, the educational piece and programming out there,” Sandquist said. “We just had some difference of opinion on the direction of where we saw the farm going and had some challenges with getting things up and going. The more we looked at it, we decided to take on the whole thing with some staff, and we are excited to have a ton of volunteers come on-site and help.

“There’s a lot of interest from the community to help with planting and picking and just be in the space because it’s a really great space with lots of opportunities to be in nature and find out where your food is grown.”

The 33-acre park will include a community barn pavilion, produce gardens, a tree nursery, a pumpkin patch, a sunflower field, a corn field with a seasonal corn maze, cut flower gardens, animal encounters, a farmthemed playscape and an event/flex lawn.

“We are planting a tree nursery and dedicating up to 5 acres of the 33-acre property to grow trees,” Sandquist said. “We will use the trees to replace trees that have passed in our parks and also set up a neighborhood-type matching grant program where neighbors can get trees from this tree farm

and also for use in our right of ways. That’s something new and different.

“It’s a sustainable practice to grow our own trees for our parks and spaces.”

Sandquist said the park will lean heavily on volunteers, especially the Fishers Freebirds group of residents ages 50 and older.

“There’s a lot of interest from them to get out and get their hands dirty and help out,” Sandquist said. “We plan to have a pretty sophisticated volunteer system where we will operate training on a regular basis and they can come in and get trained, and then after that, they can arrive at the park, look at our job board, see what’s available to do and get right going, whether it’s weeding or picking or helping to feed the animals that day.”

Hours of operation haven’t been determined, but Sandquist said residents will be able to show up during open hours and pick their own produce for free.

“Down the road, we do plan to have a farmstand at the park and sell some of the produce,” Sandquist said. “At least for this season, it will be come pick your own, and maybe that model, moving down the line, is still come in and pick your own or come and select from the farmstand so you know exactly what you want.

“I think there will be a cost to things down the road, but the park itself is free and open to the public, and we invite everyone to come join us later this summer.”

ADDING AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT The Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. will work in conjunction with Hamilton Southeastern Schools to offer educational programming through the new Fishers AgriPark.

Parks and Recreation Dept. Director Sarah Sandquist said the city wants to conduct a program similar to the Nature First program.

“We want an immersive program where

there’s time in the classroom and also onsite,” Sandquist said. “We think the best model for this site will be looped through seventh and eighth grade, so students would come in the spring and plant and then have the option for the family to come during the summer, and then in the fall of eighth grade, students can come back for the harvest portion, so they’d get that whole growing cycle.”

Abnormal practice

Congress needs a trusted nurse

Commentary by Terry Anker A hallmark of good stewardship for our corporeal bodies is regular health care. But in a time of isolation and lockdown, how do we keep up with routine maintenance? Many general practice physicians are waiting by the phone with patient counts low and offices closed. Do we have a responsibility to our good doctors to keep our regular checkups in much the same way that we are ordering carryout from the local trattoria?

Many caring citizens have marched on with scheduled appointments, hoping to support the local team and to keep the baseline of personal care up to date. One such recent virtual visit illustrated the gaps of nontouch medicine to both medical professional and patient. The pleasantries of general self-reporting on weight, overall comportment and the vagaries of aging aches and pains became the focus of the exam. Thankfully absent were the more physical elements of the physical.

One does not look in their own ear or throat. Also gone were the more invasive examinations that occur as we age.

There was some talk of the current state of medicine. There was some talk about appropriate ways to fend off, or forestall, contagion. There was some talk about coping with the stress of it all. Then, there was a prescription for a blood draw – to be administered at a time and place that was available, open and comfortable. One can assume the results would bolster the chat and lead to a bit more accurate diagnosis. It is dangerously reminiscent of the 2006 film on government overreach, “Idiocrasy,” where medicine is largely practiced by vending machine. Still, there is comfort in the abnormal normalcy of it. The doctor closed by admonishing that we get a “real” appointment when able.

Zooming in on normalcy Commentary by Danielle Wilson One of the benefits of all this time at home is that I am now officially an expert in video conferencing. I Zoom HUMOR or host webinars probably 15 times a week. I know how to schedule, record, moderate, participate, mute, share screen, enable a waiting room, change my name to something funny like Mommy Dearest or System Error, invite people in and kick people out. I’m a veritable Hugh Jackson (as P.T. Barnum, not Wolverine) of the greatest online circus shows in history!

Not that it beats in-person interaction.

I’d give up my red hair (which, I must say, is still looking incredible given I haven’t seen my stylist in forever. Miss you, SP!) to be in a classroom with my students or host a Derby party with my neighborhood peeps.

But I have been pleasantly surprised by the way virtual gatherings have filled the social void. Yesterday, for example, I was

on a Zoom call with my friends from high school who live in North Carolina, Kentucky and California. We talked and laughed and cried (not me, I’m stone-cold dead inside) for well more than an hour. And if it hadn’t been past my bedtime, we might have gone on all night, or at least until 10 p.m.! Getting to see their faces, read their body language and toasting each other with our various cocktails made a huge difference for me.

Even us introverts need an occasional dose of community to lighten the spirit.

So, I think once the madness has subsided and we return to our normal lives, I’ll continue to be the master of the Zoom domain.

Peace out.

Even us introverts need an occasional dose of community to lighten the spirit.

Editor, We need a trusted nurse and business owner in Congress.

I’m a 68-year-old resident of the 5th District of Indiana and a lifelong Hoosier. I’m also a 13-year veteran of the United States military. And like many Americans, I’m concerned about the medical, economic and emotional crisis we are facing with the coronavirus. In these unprecedented times, I’m seeing that we’re “represented” by a Congress that’s more focused on their political careers than serving the needs of the American people.

We now more than ever need Congress to work for us, not the other way around. This is why I’m supporting Beth Henderson to represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. Beth is not a career politician but is a registered nurse and successful businesswoman who understands what’s important to those of us living in the 5th District.

Unlike the lawyers and politicians in Washington, D.C., Beth truly knows what it means to care for her fellow Americans. Her background required her to have the ability to get things done in difficult situations — she won’t be tripped up by partisan bickering.

Jody Brown, Atlanta

enormous debt of gratitude.

As of now, the Trump administration is leaving testing up to the states and is using Indiana’s (Dept. of Workforce Development) to distribute CARES Act funds. Understandably, the DWD was not built for this type of job and is slowly trying to work through the thousands of requests for monetary aid during this national crisis. I truly hope Gov. Holcomb and our elected officials are up to this task.

To quote (screenwriter/director/producer) Aaron Sorkin, “There are times when we are 50 states and times when we are one nation.” If there was ever a time to be “one nation,” it is now. But President Trump chose the opposite. My hope is that Hoosiers remember this in November.

Editor, During the last few weeks, each state has competed for vital resources to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. N95 masks, gowns, latex gloves and ventilators have been in short supply across our nation and our state. Why? The Trump administration has pitted states against one another to acquire these items in a free-for-all of capitalistic malfeasance.

Every day, we receive more information about how this administration had the information it needed. They simply chose not to act. But what it did that caused the most damage was to divide America by declaring a national disaster, and then leaving it to each state to fend for itself. I applaud Gov. Holcomb for navigating this Trump-induced mess as best he can. Hoosiers owe him an

Help offer keeps company afloat

By Heather Collins news@currentnoblesville.com Tony Jackson, a Noblesville resident and owner of Bolden’s Cleaning and Restoration, said he was looking for GIVING BACK a way his local business could help out the community during the COVID-19 pandemic when he decided to donate free professional cleaning services to the Carmel Fire Dept. and Carmel Police Dept.’s apparatus and vehicles.

Bolden’s has always donated its services to professionally clean the vehicles for CPD and CFD. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, Bolden’s added additional fogging treatments for emergency and police vehicles on a weekly basis.

As with many local businesses, Jackson said when the pandemic began, business slowed and he was concerned about keeping his employees busy. To keep his employees working, he donated his services to clean and disinfect vehicles and apparatuses for the police and fire departments throughout Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

When the City of Carmel and the City of Fishers learned that Bolden’s was offering the services, they hired the company to disinfect essential buildings throughout the cities, including their public works buildings, city halls and fire and police stations.

In Carmel, more than 150,000 square feet will be fogged on a weekly basis.

Jackson said he has been able to keep his company afloat and employees working because of the additional work that came from simply reaching out to help the community and help his employees. The Noblesville-based company has been operating for 32 years.

“As with every small business owner, I’ve

BUY BACK DAYS AT PETERMAN! A Bolden’s Cleaning and Restoration employee disinfects a Carmel Fire Dept. vehicle. (Submitted photo)

been terrified to see our normal business die down to almost nothing,” Jackson said.

“With the kindness of the two cities (Carmel and Fishers), we’re able to keep moving forward. We’re now going to be able to survive the downswing. If you do something good, it’s always going to come back around.”

The CPD and CFD buildings and vehicles are disinfected on a biweekly schedule.

The building, vehicles and apparatus are fogged with a hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant called Bioesque. Jackson said the fog is like a mist and is able to get into all the nooks and crannies that might be missed through normal cleaning.

Adam Harrington, CFD deputy chief of operations, said Bolden’s has previously assisted with restoration services for water pipe damage at CFD and has been involved with restoration services for residential houses impacted by fire damage throughout the community.

“They’ve always provided great service,” he said. “(Jackson) was being proactive in offering to disinfect our vehicles every week at no charge.”

In the digital age, and especially during quarantine, you may find yourself at risk for poor posture and FITNESS unnecessary pain. Whether using your phone, typing on the computer or sitting on the couch watching TV, posture can suffer during all of these activities, causing pain and imbalances. You may notice frequent headaches, a stiff or sore neck and general back pain. By chronically rounding your shoulders forward and allowing your head to sink forward during typing, texting or any other digital activities, you put your back and posterior neck muscles on a prolonged stretch. This can cause an overcompensation or protective effect in which the muscles on the back side of our body become stiff and sore in their effort to balance things out. Although these activities may be nearly impossible to avoid, it doesn’t mean the painful side effects are.

By strengthening the muscles responsible for maintaining good head, neck and shoulder posture, you can alleviate pain

and discomfort that many desk warriors suffer from. Here is an easy and quick exercise to help combat and reverse pain caused by poor posture. Perform this exercise slowly, using a six-count going up and a six-count going down. It can be performed daily.

Wall angels (two or three sets of five repetitions): • Stand with your back against the wall and walk your feet out just far enough that you can keep your entire back, including hips, lower back, upper back and head, against the wall.

Keep all of these points of contact through the entire exercise.

• With nearly straight arms, bring the backs of your hands up to touch the wall overhead. Keep your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders in contact with the wall while you drag your elbows out and down until you have a 90-degree bend at the elbow, similar to the “field goal” signal a football referee makes following a touchdown or field goal. If you are able to bring your elbows down farther without losing any contact

points or arching your back, then do so.

• When you have reached the bottom of your range of motion, reverse the movement to bring your arms back overhead while maintaining all points of contact with the wall. Repeat this for five reps.

HSE graduate’s film focuses on grief process

ISO cancels Symphony on the Prairie season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For filmmaker Katherine Crump, her short film has a deep personal connection. “’Telling the Bees’ PRODUCTIONS is inspired by the loss of my lifelong friend who passed away in December of 2018,” said Crump, a Geist resident who wrote and is directing the 20-minute film.

“We knew each other for 15 years, grew up together, we were Girl Scouts together and moved to Bloomington to attend Indiana University together, and losing her so suddenly was a major adjustment for me and everyone who knew her. The movie focuses on both the mourning process as well as many nostalgic, joyful memories that we shared, and ultimately portrays the nonlinear, muddled nature of grief by intercutting those two timelines.

“We’re honoring the memory of a friend, but the more people I talk to about it the more I realize we’re also commiserating in a common experience of grief and loss.”

Crump said the story is a fictionalized version of the grief she experienced.

The title comes from the custom of beekeepers telling their bees major events in their lives.

Like all productions, the schedule of “Telling the Bees” has been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

“The necessary need for quarantine has affected our schedule because we were meant to be shooting this month (May) but are obviously needing to create a new plan,” said Crump, a 2014 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate. “We are still uncertain as to when that new schedule will take place, but we’re still moving forward, doing the work and making plans from home as well as we can.”

Crump said she hopes to film in late summer or fall depending on actors’ schedules.

Kristina Wagner, who plays Felicia on “General Hospital,” is Crump’s aunt. Wagner and “General Hospital” co-star Haley Pullos are in the short film, along with Cassidy Mack.

“Telling the Bees” is the third short

The summer concert season is in a state of flux for most area venues because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Indiana Gov. Eric HolCONCERTS comb released guidelines May 1 for sites to reopen June 14, with limit gatherings of 250 until July 4. After that, social distancing guidelines will be in place.

That prompted the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to announce May 4 it is canceling the 2020 Symphony on the Prairie outdoor concert series at Conner Prairie in Fishers.

For those who have purchased a value pack, ISO has provided three options: Ticket donation: ISO would like patrons to consider a tax-deductible donation of the value of the ISO tickets to support ISO’s mission during the tough economic times.

Value Pack Voucher Exchange: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for 10 ticket vouchers to the 2021 40th season of Symphony on the Prairie performances.

Value Pack Gift Certificate: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for a gift certificate, which is good through August 2021. The gift certificate can be applied to any ISO performances throughout the season.

The release stated: “Due to ongoing physical distancing recommendations and crowd size regulations from local, state and federal authorities, the ISO anticipates it will be several months before musicians and patrons can safely gather for concerts in reasonable numbers. Even if concert restrictions are lifted mid-summer in the state’s reopening plan, the remaining guidelines combined with the infrastructure required for producing Symphony on the Prairie is so complex that presenting a partial season is not financially feasible.”

Hamilton County Parks Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls said a virtual staff meeting discussed plans May 6 for the Cool Creek Concert Series, but details aren’t established.

film under the umbrella of the production company, Film Wives Productions. Crump’s producing partner is Riley Dismore, a Geist resident and Fishers High School graduate. Dismore and Crump met at Indiana University.

Geist resident Amy Pauszek, whose Where’s Amy photo column runs in Current newspapers, is a producer on the film.

Pauszek is the executive producer for “The Addict’s Wake,” which focuses on the opioid epidemic in Brown County. Zionsville resident Michael Husain is the director of the full-length documentary.

“The pandemic has made production for our feature documentary film more challenging, but it is also important that we gather material during the crisis,” Pauszek said. “The forced isolation is very difficult for those seeking recovery. We have continued to film during the pandemic because being isolated and no work for addicts makes it extremely difficult for them to stay clean, sober and healthy.

“There are more overdoses, and COVID-19 has added more stress and disruption to Brown County.”

Pauszek said they are conducting online interviews via Zoom and similar software to stay updated with those featured in the

documentary.

“We will continue fundraising avenues to get the film done because this film is not only educational for addicts and their families left behind to pick up the pieces of the wake, but we want to leave the audience with a solution and hope,” Pauszek said.

‘Mayberry Man’ filming delayed Westfield resident Cort Howell’s film, inspired by “The Andy Griffith Show,” was originally scheduled to begin principal photography May 15-17 during the “Mayberry in the Midwest” festival in Danville, but the festival has been canceled because of the pandemic.

The production schedule has been consolidated, as a portion of the movie was already scheduled to be filmed in September to coincide with the “Mayberry Days” festival in Mount Airy, N.C., Griffith’s hometown. The schedule calls for two weeks in Indiana and one week in North Carolina and Virginia, followed by two days in Los Angeles.

Howell and other producers are working with representatives from the Town of Danville to secure locations for the new dates.

MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 939 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis What to get: Willow Creek Price: $10.25 Anna’s take: I ordered this meal May 5, and as much as I would’ve liked to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, all the Mexican restaurants I tried to visit were slammed with lines out the door and wrapped around the building, so I went to the next-best place, MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub. I used to work as a server at the Carmel location, which has since closed, during my short stint

in college. I love the Willow Creek sandwich, layered with smoked turkey, bacon, avocado, spinach, tomatoes, mayo and mozzarella cheese on fresh-baked bread. It is served with tortilla chips. Also, I always order Lodgepoles ($5.75), which is a slab of fresh-baked bread, cut into pieces, brushed with olive oil and garlic with mozzarella and served with marinara. They are delicious.

Carmel resident helps produce virtual concert programs

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Lee Clifford is helping the American Pianists Association’s classical finalists share their PRODUCTIONS music online.

Clifford, director of marketing for the American Pianists Association for the past four years, has begun a new online series, American Pianists Awards’ “Live from the Piano Bench.” With live events postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic, many arts organizations are turning to online programming.

The series has the 2021 finalists paired with past competition winners for conversations and short performances from their home. The Facebook Live performances began April 26. The remaining 3:30 p.m. performances are: May 17, Mackenzie Melemed with 2006 winner Spencer Myer; May 24, Michael Davidman with 1981 winner Sara Davis Buechner; and May 31, Sam Hong with 1985 winner Frederic Chiu.

On March 11, American Pianists Association, which is located on Butler University’s

campus, announced the five 2021 finalists for the classical competition who will be competing during the following months leading up to the finals in April 2021.

“Some people are taping things and then making them look like a Zoom show,” Clifford said. “There is an interesting spontaneity to doing things live, so that’s what’s we’re doing.

We have two people on screen. Sometimes, both will play. Mostly, just one will play.”
