The analysis also showed 44.8 percent of people infected with the virus reported no symptoms. The study also found non-white and Hispanic residents contracted the virus more prevalently than white residents.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the high percentage of asymptomatic carriers underscores the importance of mask use in public, indoor spaces to reduce the spread of the virus.

Participants who reported living with someone who was COVID-19 positive were 12 times more likely to be infected with the disease.

Aria Diagnostics reinvents itself to battle COVID-19 pandemic

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A lab near Zionsville has quickly transformed its mission from toxicology screening to testing for COVID-19.

PANDEMIC Aria Diagnostics, at 5365 W. 96th St. in Indianapolis, typically checks for narcotics and opioids, but in recent weeks it has shifted its focus to not only offering COVID-19 tests but assembling them as well.

Founder Zak Khan, a Carmel resident and 1994 Carmel High School graduate, said only testing people showing symptoms of the disease – the policy in much of Indiana and elseKhan where — doesn’t do enough to stop its spread. He said everyone who isn’t staying at home — from road workers to grocery store employees — should be tested.

And he’s not going to let a lack of testing kits stop that from happening.

“If you create a strategy saying, ‘There’s a lack of kits; we only want to test those who are symptomatic,’ that goes in the face of the evidence that says people are going to be asymptomatic (but contagious),” Khan said. “The way the disease works is once somebody gets it, they may be symptomatic, they may not.”

Khan said he became frustrated hearing about testing kit shortages, especially in areas hardest hit by COVID-19, so his team found the raw materials needed to make them and began assembling them this week at Pure Pharmacy at Old Meridian Street and W. Carmel Drive in Carmel.

In the first week, Khan expected to assemble 50,000 kits, with 100,000 assembled per week thereafter. Many of the kits will be used locally, with others destined for clients in North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky and Maryland. Khan and his partners formed Apex Medical to manage the assembly and are donating 50,000 of the kits to New York, one of the hardest-hit areas.

“Nobody that I’m aware of in this country is manufacturing kits,” Khan said. “They aren’t hard to assemble.”

Ramping up As of April 6, Khan said Aria was testing more than 200 people for COVID-19 each day, with results ready within 48 hours. But

Khan said Aria has the capacity to conduct 10,000 tests per day. Many of those tested are first responders from central Indiana, including Carmel, Noblesville, Whitestown, Fishers, Zionsville, Westfield, Avon, Pike Township and the Indiana State Police. But the business also is expanding its reach, offering testing for several facilities in Texas.

Each test costs $175. Carmel plans to test its first responders weekly and other employees at least once, aiming to identify not only those with COVID-19 but also those who may have unknowingly had it and recovered. The city expects to pay $600,000 for the tests, which city leaders expect to be reimbursed through the federal government.

“The testing can prevent even more costly hospitalizations and additional medical treatment among our insured,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “Each hospitalization we avoid will save the city health insurance fund tens of thousands of dollars.”

Khan said testing first responders saves taxpayer dollars by identifying firefighters and police officers who can go to work so cities don’t pay overtime to cover shifts for those unnecessarily quarantined.

Our Plan for a Safe, Smart Recovery Fishers is taking proactive steps to help our city recover and reopen from COVID-19.

TESTING ACCESS • Establish the Fishers City Health Department • Conduct Free, Daily COVID-19 Testing for Fishers Residents • Provide Accessible Testing for Fishers Businesses

GETTING STARTED Before founding Aria Diagnostics, Khan began operating surgery centers, including Capitol Street Surgery Center in Indianapolis. He partnered with Vipin Adhlakha, a molecular biologist who had been one of his best friends at Carmel High School, to launch Aria Diagnostics at the request of physicians wanting, in part, to ensure patients were taking potentially addictive drugs as prescribed.

But now, with labwork slowed because many doctors aren’t seeing patients in offices, Aria has the ability to transform its short-term mission to testing for COVID-19. Aria purchased machinery and software to make it happen.

The idea sparked three months ago when reports of the new coronavirus, which causes the COVID-19 disease, first came out of China.

“Vipin said, ‘We’d better look at COVID-19, because if we can test for it I think there will be value in the U.S. market, clinically,’” Khan said. “So I said, ‘OK, let’s look at doing it.’”

www.votethefuturenow.com FUTURE GENERATIONS DESERVE BETTER REPUBLICAN MATT

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.

Matthew (Matt) Hook is an independent minded businessman who is tired of politicians who represent special interests and not the people.

Matt retired as a Senior Partner with Centerfield Capital Partners where he invested in numerous companies in various industries throughout the United States. In addition, Matt was an attorney for 11 years and a CPA for 8 years.

Matt and his wife Jody have lived in Indiana’s 5th district for the past 25 years where they raised their four children.

If you want a data driven independent decision maker who believes Congress is suppose to be a check on the Executive Branch and not a rubber stamp for a political party, I would greatly appreciate your consideration.

Air Force veteran Bill Doss said the restoration will include pouring a new foundation and walkway and replacing the tops of the urns and cleaning stones and remounting them on the new foundation.

“The memorial is for Hamilton County, and it has the fallen names of soldiers who fought for World War II, the Vietnam War and the Korean War,” said Doss, the webmaster for the Hamilton County Veterans Corp. “When I met with Mark Heirbrandt, the county commissioner, at the end of last year, we talked about the fact that the stones were crumbling and the base was crumbling.”

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com The coronavirus pandemic is causing disruptions to normal routines and requiring thousands of people to SENIORS isolate, particularly high-risk individuals such as senior citizens and those with serious health conditions.

At the national level, organizations like the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America have opened hotlines for caregivers and families to ask questions.

“Families across the country caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease are having to make changes and adaptations in response to the coronavirus outbreak. While the coronavirus is forcing many of them to isolate, it doesn’t mean they are alone,” said Charles J. Fuschillo Jr., president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

“Whether they have questions about safeguarding their loved one’s health, addressing isolation, making alternative care arrangements or just someone to talk to, licensed social workers are available to help.”

Although some exceptions are being made for end-of-life situations, visitors are still limited to two at any given time, and all visitors must fill out a questionnaire and have their temperature taken, among other measures, before being allowed to enter any resident area.

Social media has played an important role for CarDon, Harbour Manor’s parent company, letting residents communicate with loved ones by sharing messages without physical contact or risk of spreading the virus. Since March 13, photos have flooded the CarDon Facebook page, each with a resident sharing a photo of themselves along with a whiteboard-written message to their family and friends.

Fishers aids businesses with loan program

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers is certainly making an effort to assist businesses during the COIVD-19 pandemic.

Mayor Scott Fadness said ECONOMIC the city doesn’t IMPACT have specific unemployment numbers for the city, which are provided collectively by Hamilton County for the entire county. But the city has launched a recovery plan to assist businesses.

“We have a series FADNESS of different tools for local businesses, like our startup loan program,” Fadness said. “We allocated half a million dollars to allow for small businesses to apply for loans with generous repayment terms and no interest for the first six months, and once those six months are up, there’s a 1 percent interest rate.”

Ninety-three businesses applied for the loans and 73 received them.

The Fishers Police Dept. and the city’s economic development team are meeting with businesses to discuss best practices for reopening and are distributing personal protective

equipment and answering questions.

Because of the pandemic, Fishers has delayed stormwater payments for local businesses and also relaxed its signage ordinance to allow businesses to place large reopening signs without fees or restrictions.

Individual Hamilton County cities, including Fishers, don’t have unemployment data but are sharing countywide data that was provided from March 21 to April 18. During the week ending March 21, the unemployment number was 2,247, a 3,985 percent increase from the same week in 2019. During the week ending March 28, the figure was 3,554, a 6,868 percent increase. During the week ending April 4, the tally was 3,756, a 4,120 percent increase. For the week ending April 11, the figure was 3,618, a 6,478 percent increase.

And for the week ending April 18, the number was 2,548, a 3,343 percent increase.

Total unemployment claims by Hamilton County residents for the first quarter of 2020 were 7,296. Claims by employers in the county were 5,995. The top occupational groups filing for unemployment were those in the food service industry, office and administrative support, management, sales, construction, transportation, arts, sports and education, among other occupations.

“We allocated half a million dollars to allow for small businesses to apply for loans with generous repayment terms and no interest for the first six months, and once those six months are up, there’s a 1 percent interest rate.”

– Mayor Scott Fadness

Bringing businesses, workers, and customers back safely The Brookfield Group has been a mainstay in Carmel for over 30 years. We have been protecting our client’s data -- both on-site and in the cloud -- with the latest technology available. When the pandemic hit local businesses, The Brookfield Group was there to not only help mobilize their workforce with WFH equipment, but to offer support both in person and virtually.

Throughout this entire ordeal, we have been here to answer our client’s calls. So when they were ready to migrate back to the workplace, they counted on us to help protect them.

FLAG aids restaurants, front lines in county

By Emma Uber news@currentnoblesville.com In a time of economic and medical uncertainty, Hamilton County residents Kristy Murphy, Mona Euler, GIVING BACK Amy Hulka and Sharon Phillips found a way to stimulate the local economy while supporting health care professionals.

The Front Line Appreciation Group used donations to purchase meals from locally owned restaurants, then delivered them to those working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

FLAG began in New Jersey. Murphy founded the first Indiana chapter in Hamilton County. The community showed immediate support for the program, with the FLAG Facebook group attracting more than 1,700 members and $10,000 in just more than a week.

“There’s a lot of people who are in a similar situation as me, where you just feel

helpless and you want to do something but you struggle to figure out how you can make a difference. FLAG provides that opportunity,” Murphy said. “It’s a very grassroots, genuine effort, and people trust that 100 percent of the money they’re donating is supporting our restaurants, and that it then is going to our front line health care workers.”

Murphy said FLAG is important because it focuses on supporting local workers.

“There have been some restaurants that we’ve been working with that this truly allows them to pay their employees or to bring employees back, which has a downstream effect because then that’s helping that employee to have an income,” Murphy said. “We’re able to really help the restaurants and all of the staff directly, but then as we deliver the meals to the front-line staff, they’re so encouraged by the support that they’re getting from their community.”

Education resources available Commentary by Rep. Tony Cook Typically, schools and families would be busy planning celebrations, including prom and graduation, PANDEMIC but now they’ve shifted their attention to finishing out the school year remotely. For parents, this transition comes with an abundance of distractions as many balance working from home and teaching their children.

To help families navigate eLearning, the Indiana Dept. of Education offers online resources to keep students in all grade levels engaged. By visiting doe.in.gov/covid-19 and clicking “Remote Learning Resources,” parents can use the resource database to find activities and lessons by grade level and content area. While school districts had to cancel field trips, online tools are available to help learning come to life. Students can visit fun attractions, including virtual tours of state museums, zoos and more, all via the IDOE website. If you don’t have internet or can’t afford it, IDOE offers information about low-cost or free broadband services, or you can contact your provider directly for help.

The state recently teamed up with Indiana

Public Broadcasting to offer educational programing that aligns with Indiana’s curriculum standards for K-12 students. Visit PBSLearningMedia.org to find your local listing and grab-and-go activities, lesson plans and interactive lessons.

Students needing help with math and science homework can visit askrose.org or call 877-ASK-ROSE (275-7673) for free tutoring.

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology provides the service to all students in grades 4-12.

This is not how young Hoosiers and families across our state envisioned finishing out the school year, but staying at home is a necessary step to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. Families are busy juggling working from home and making sure their children stay on track with their school work, and I hope these resources help as we all try to get through this together.

Grandmaster reflects on golden year

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Garth Cooley had been searching for gold for some time.

The longtime Carmel TAEKWONDO resident and taekwondo grandmaster said he has reached the top eight in the World Poomsae Championships several times but never got a medal. Poomsae is judged on technique.

“I’ve participated in the U.S. national tournament several times,” said Cooley, who owns Korea Taekwondo Academy in Lawrence. “You have to win or be in the top echelon to go to the Worlds. They only take one person per category.”

In August 2019 in Wuxi, China, Cooley, 52, competed in the World Cup for poomsae.

“I made the team as an alternate and the first-place guy didn’t go,” Cooley said. “I went and did well, took a gold medal in the under 60 category. Going to the World Cup, having the chance to represent the country and coming back with a gold is a great accomplishment.”

Cooley said the inaugural World Poomsae Cup, hosted by World Taekwondo, is similar to the World Championships.

The accomplishment earned the attention of the Carmel City Council, which recognized Cooley as an outstanding citizen in January.

In January, Cooley finished second in the Grand Slam (Team Trial) in Colorado Springs, Colo. He was an alternate for the World Poomsae Championships, which was scheduled to be held in Denmark in May but has been canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

9340 Castlegate Dr. in 2012. The school was started by C.K. Yoon, who was Cooley’s grandmaster, in 1974.

“To have the school operating perpetually for 46 years is a very rare thing,” Cooley said. “Yoon retired to California 20 years ago but he still makes an effort to come in every two months for the judging.”

Cooley, a grandmaster and an eighth-degree black belt, has been practicing taekwondo since 1981. He purchased KTA from Yoon in 1996.

“I became a student to an aspiring athlete to an instructor and then went to college and got a degree,” Cooley said.

“But my heart was in this for competitive reasons. I was in a position to take it over and I did.”

Yoon traveled with Cooley to Seoul, South Korea, when he received his eighth-degree belt in June 2019. In eight years, Cooley can attempt to obtain his ninth-degree black belt.

Cooley’s wife, Julie, and children, Grant and Jill, are second-degree black belts. Jill is a Guerin Catholic High School senior and Grant is a Carmel High School graduate who is enrolled in IUPUI’s Kelley School of Business.

Delaying a visit to the emergency room could be life-threatening for non-COVID-19 patients

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Many residents are doing their part to help “flatten the curve” by sheltering in place and reducing visits to local businesses during the COIVD-19 pandemic. But when they don’t got to an emergency department COVER STORY because of an illness or injury, the delay could be life threatening.

At Riverview Health, Lynne Bunch, the program director of the Fishers and Hazel Dell ER/Urgent Care facilities, said she worries daily that people are waiting too long to see a doctor for fear of coronavirus exposure.

“People are afraid to come out to the ER, and it leads to a much higher acuity level, or sickness, with people who don’t have a choice and have to come, and that’s dangerous for all kinds of reasons,” Bunch said.

Delays in seeking care can make otherwise treatable medical conditions worse.

Bunch “Preventative medicine is shut down, too, right now, so that’s an issue in delaying diagnosis,” Bunch said. “I have several examples of people waiting, and our acuity is much higher than it has been because when they do come in, they are much sicker than they would be.”

Bunch said if someone is second-guessing whether or not to seek care, the answer is to seek it.

“If you have an acute illness, go to an emergency department. Our facility is a unique model because if you are urgent level care, you are billed urgent-level care and you will still see an ER physician and ER-trained staff,” Bunch said. “If you do need to be an ER patient based on what ails you, we can do that right there, too, and you won’t have to be transferred.”

Ascension St. Vincent is noticing a similar downturn in non-COVID-19 patients.

“Our experience has been the same as pretty much every-

where around country. The number of patients presenting with stroke and heart attack are down significantly,” said Dr. Edward Fry, chair of cardiology at Ascension St. Vincent. “Initially, people were embracing that as a good thing, a silver lining to isolation. Maybe people were not stressed and sleeping more, exercising and eating better, but what we are really finding out is people Fry are fearful.

“We are seeing the same phenomenon where people are deferring care and staying home.”

Fry said a recent patient had a prolonged episode of chest pain and eventually visited the hospital a week later, where it was discovered he had had a heart attack.

“He was lucky enough to survive,” Fry said. “There are a lot of examples of that. We are trying, through many different ways, to connect to patients to reassure them that every precaution to keep them safe is being put in place and to not forget their original health problem they had in the first place, especially for things like heart attack and stroke where time is of the essence in terms of treatment. If someone presents in a short timeframe of having a stroke, they can often be treated and reverse the effects of that stroke. Otherwise, it can be disabling lifelong. That’s similar with a heart attack.”

Fry said heart attack cases are down by approximately 50 percent as of early March, but he doesn’t believe that means heart attacks aren’t happening.

IU Health has seen similar examples of patients delaying treatment and is taking steps to ensure patients feel safe enough to visit the ER. “We are separating folks based on screening in the emergency department,” Director of the Medicine Service Line Christen Hoeppner said. “If people are worried about sitting next to somebody who possibly has COVID, we are physically separating them with a wall.

Hoeppner “There are two areas of the department, two entrances, all of that.”

IU Health Emergency Dept. Physician Megan Crittendon said IU Health’s emergency department when the pandemic began but has slowed since then.

“I would say the evolution of this thing has been really interesting,” she said. “Initially, people were coming in just like regular when it first started, and people were con-

cerned they had COVID, and so we were very busy because of it. It then reached this steady state where people started dropping off and not coming in except only for COVID, and we were seeing people in the extremes of illness. They were waiting until they reached the extremis. It has kind of become apparent that people were concerned that they were going to get coronavirus or have exposure or use valuable resources, so we weren’t seeing Crittendon a lot of minor stuff, but we also weren’t seeing serious stuff, stuff people get admitted for. People were coming in extremely sick because they waited such a long time, so we have mitigated that risk by dividing the emergency department and waiting rooms into a cold side and hot side, as we call it, a side for COVID-exposed or concerned and a side of not concerned.

“We still treat everybody with the upmost precaution. We mask everybody to mitigate the risk of spread.”

“We are separating folks based on screening in the emergency department.

If people are worried about sitting next to somebody who possibly has COVID, we are physically separating them with a wall.”

– IU HEalth Director of the Medicine Service Line Christen Hoeppner

Delaying ER visits can lead to serious illness, death Like other hospitals, Community Health has seen a steep downturn in patients.

“Statistics have indicated overall numbers (of non-COVID-19 patients) are down significantly, and those illnesses obviously don’t wait for the COVID-19 pandemic to go away. They happen, regardless,” said Dr. Chris Ross, a Community Health emergency medicine physician. “The overall emergency department volumes (that are) down significantly makes me concerned patients aren’t seeking care when they need help.”

Ross said delaying a visit can result in serious health problems, including death.

“We have seen people who have had pretty significant permanent injury because of the wait and also people who have had deaths,” he said. “We see that directly attributed to waiting to be seen because of coronavirus. Family members are afraid to come to the emergency department because they are concerned of getting the coronavirus, but unfortunately that (non-COVID) illness (and waiting to Ross seek treatment) made them pass away.”

Normal change

Vote for Hern

Commentary by Terry Anker Fifty is the new 40. Orange is the new black. Thick is the new thin. We’ve all heard some variation of the claim that what was once the standard has been effectively and immediately replaced by a new and improved model. Coke was to be New Coke. That attempt at modifying the syrupy concoction proved so unpopular that it was ultimately retracted by the soft drink giant. Still, they revisited the wisdom of claiming the king to be dead when they worked to nudge Diet Coke with Coke Zero.

Sure, things change. The child becomes the parent. And the student becomes the master. But are we all too eager to claim the transition complete before the assumption is tested by the most grueling of standards -- time? Axioms develop slowly. Well, they should.

We humans have flourished for eons precisely because we are adroit at determining safe and practiced patterns and staying within them. Every child can tell you why a little pig shouldn’t build his house out of straw or twigs but only of bricks! It is a dangerous world. More than one big, bad blowhard will do their best to knock the house down.

So today, we are told of “new” normals. That everything has changed. That we will never be the same. Perhaps.

These times test the foundations of our nation and its institutions. But are we humans really that different?

Are we evolved? Or do we still long for power over others? Do we still seek protection for our own and advantage for our tribe? Do we still laugh, love and obsess? Is our sense of self-awareness only temporary, as it has proven to be with so many crises before? In the long scope of history, when is a “new” normal determined to be the new normal?

Curse of the 2020 Mother’s Day quarantine Commentary by Danielle Wilson Quarantine has messed me up so badly that I completely forgot to prepare for Mother’s Day. A rookie mistake that HUMOR resulted in an epic fail where I was forced to spend MD with my family in the house during questionable weather, without even an inkling of how I would enjoy it.

Because let’s be real. Partners and children are generally unreliable when it comes to planning magical moments. I learned long ago that if I wanted to have at least a shot at a good Mother’s Day, I had to clearly articulate my expectations, have several back-up itineraries and establish the ability to call a redo should the proverbial or actual schtick hit the fan (which reminds me, if you’re a mom of little ones, fuggedaboutit.

When your world includes diapers, naptime and/or sippy cups, MD is a game-time decision, at best. You can’t control projectile vomiting, night terrors, potty accidents,

surprise rashes or neediness, so best to table your hopes and dreams and give it another five years before you attempt a real Mother’s Day celebration. Sorry).

Usually, I plan an eight-hour all-about-me extravaganza that includes, but is not limited to, brunch with the peeps, consignment shopping and movie theater popcorn, but stupid coronavirus has robbed me of those guilty pleasures. And because this year’s MD was cold and windy rather than warm and sunny, sunbathing with a rum punch was also not feasible. I guess the rum punch part was, but why bother? I didn’t even take off my pajamas!

This Mother’s Day, more than any other, I really needed a solid plan. Curse you, quarantine! Peace out.

Editor, We are blessed in Indiana to have some extraordinary public servants. The job is not easy but is worth it. Jeff Hern is one of these people, and I am proud to support him for reelection to the Hamilton County Council.

Jeff dedicates himself to everything he does and is a tireless worker for the public. In addition, he has always made the safety of Hamilton County residents a top priority as a councilman. In addition to Jeff’s work on the Hamilton County Council, he serves on the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Committee, the Hamilton County Emergency Management Committee and the County Fire Chief Committee. He believes that through personally working with these individuals that have dedicated their lives to public safety, their collective collaboration will continue to ensure successful outcomes.

I believe that Hamilton County is better due to the fiscal responsibility that Jeff Hern has clung to, and I am excited to see what the future of this county holds with Jeff’s continued leadership.

Because of his continued commitment to the community and passion for service, Jeff Hern will be receiving my vote for Hamilton County Council on June 2.

I urge you to consider him for your vote as well.

Chuck Goodrich, state representative

Nation has experience Editor, It is with great pleasure that I write to you supporting Steven Nation for Hamilton County Council. I have known Steve for more than 40 years with my 34 years of serving on the Carmel Fire Dept. and 13 years as Clay Township trustee. During the time he served as Hamilton County prosecutor and Superior Court judge, it has always been easy to see how Steve has served the county with persistence, passion and dedication.

I am confident in his ability to work well on the county council, especially after his tremendous success as county prosecutor and judge. His approach to every scenario while serving in the county’s justice system was to help all people succeed and provide an avenues for them to reach their highest

potential. Steve has always looked out for the safety of the citizens throughout the county and have known him to work around the clock at whatever it took to get the job done.

On the council, Steve will bring the experience needed to help build and maintain an effective police and fire training center and will bring the understanding and care needed to implement an effective countywide mental health program for both juveniles and adults. I am confident in his ability to work with others to make these projects a reality, and look forward to Hamilton County’s assured improvements with him on the council.

Please vote for Steven Nation for county council on June 2 to keep Hamilton County a safe place to live, work and raise a family.

Vote by mail for safety Editor, I am extremely upset with the State Election Commission and its lack of concern for the voters of Indiana. It had the chance to do a total vote by mail and instead is doing on-site voting and placing thousands of people at risk for the COVID-19 disease. The federal government even provided the state with $8 million that would more than cover the cost of a mail-in election and would have reduced cost by not having to pay for poll workers and PPE. The virus will not be gone by election day, so to protect yourself, to protect the poll workers, I strongly urge you to vote by mail. It does not matter if you are a

Democrat or Republican in this primary.

The main concern should be that you’re alive and not sick after the primary. The only good thing the election board did was remove the requirement to get a vote-by-mail ballot. To get an absentee ballot application, you can call the Hamilton County Election Board at 317-776-8476.

You can also email a request to elections@hamiltoncounty.in.gov. Fill out the absentee request and send it back. Then, you will be sent a ballot so you can fill it out without going out and taking a risk of getting sick.

Please vote, but vote smart from home.

Support Ditslear Editor, I have the pleasure of knowing John Ditslear for many years. I collaborated with him during his tenure as mayor of Noblesville and throughout my time on the Fishers City Council. I have been impressed with his leadership in Noblesville and I’m grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to work together.

After seeing John Ditslear’s character firsthand, I am honored to support his campaign for Hamilton County Council. John is a proven leader and lifelong community servant. I cannot think of a better candidate

than John. His dedication to the community is unwavering and his commitment to seeing the entire county succeed is admirable.

I am confident in his ability to lead the county and cooperate with others with the understanding that it takes a team of people to get meaningful change accomplished.

Please join me in supporting John Ditslear for Hamilton County Council on June 2.

John Weingardt, Fishers city councilor

As construction continues to improve our State Road 37 corridor, our business owners need your support and loyalty to thrive.

Vote for McMillan Editor, Career politician ought to be an oxymoron but, unfortunately, it’s not. I’m a firm believer that public office should be a temporary condition. It prevents people from getting too powerful and keeps fresh ideas flowing.

With a few notable exceptions, lengthy political careers do not lead to creative solutions or enlightened thinking. That’s one reason I’m supporting Charlie McMillan for Hamilton County commissioner this year.

A lifelong resident of Noblesville and a local businessman, Charlie has deep roots in the community and an impressive record of working on behalf of the people. By serving on a county board, he’s developed a knowledge of the workings of county government and established relationships needed to get things done. He has well-reasoned positions on the issues. Nothing flashy or radical, but solid and sensible positions on issues that matter and would be his responsibility if he’s elected.

The incumbent is a fine man and has served the county well, but enough is enough. I don’t think having the state’s longest-serving commissioner is anything for Hamilton County to be proud of. Businesses learned long ago that you get the best performance out of CEOs when their terms are short. The average is about five years.

The governor and president can only serve for eight. Commissioners are the closest thing we have to a top executive in county government and none should be in office for 30-plus years.

I’ve known Charlie for 10 years and found him to be honest, hardworking and ap-

proachable. He’s also a darn good mechanic.

Check out Charlie McMillan at charliemcmillanjr.com and see if you don’t agree that it’s time for a change.

Year of the Nurse: Thank you to nurses Commentary by Cindy Adams The World Health Organization and the American Nurses Association designated 2020 the Year of the HEALTH CARE Nurse, and nurses have never been more critically important to the health care industry.

This year, these usually unsung caregivers are being widely recognized as health care heroes.

We have seen countless nurses leave their homes to bravely face the greatest global health care challenge of our time. We are grateful for and humbled by the unwavering dedication to patient care displayed daily by nurses nationwide as they lead with their fellow caregivers at the front line of this pandemic. It is no surprise that Gallup named nursing as the most trusted profession for the 18th consecutive year.

At a time when many patients are alone and isolated from their families, nurses have gone beyond clinical care with simple acts of compassion to brighten long days of solitude and show patients how much they matter. Across Ascension St. Vincent hospitals, we’ve seen nurses sing to their patients, play games with patients in isolation from the other side of their glass room door and help patients and families find new and safe ways to connect through windows, virtual visits and prayers.

We also are grateful for Indiana communities that have stepped up to help support and show appreciation to their local nurses.

So many people, both young and old, have showered our nurses with meals, thoughtful gifts, encouraging chalk messages, children’s drawings and signage around hospital entrances and walkways for our

teams to see and appreciate as they start and finish their shifts.

Celebrating our nurses has never been more important to us than at this moment.

Who could have predicted that during the designated Year of the Nurse our nurses would be leading the response to the COVID-19 pandemic?

While Ascension St. Vincent nurses continue to battle COVID-19 on the front lines, colleagues across Ascension are working behind the scenes to help empower them with innovative solutions to improve how they care for patients and each other. Last year, with the collaboration of our nursing professionals, we established the Nursing Center of Excellence. Our goal is for Ascension to become one of the best places to practice nursing by transforming our ability to care for ourselves and others, holistically. As an organization and as leaders, we must actively remove obstacles and create conditions in which our nurses can experience joy and flourish while caring for those we are so privileged to serve. By acting and delivering on what we’re learning from our nurses, we are building a community — with tools and resources — where nurses can live and grow as leaders who are professional, caring, empowered, knowledgeable, innovative and inspired.

To our Ascension nurses, and all nurses, we humbly say: Thank you.

Cindy Adams has served as the system chief nursing officer for St. Vincent since 2015.

The site is designed to address the increase in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues caused by the pandemic, including both first-time issues as well as preexisting mental health concerns. Initially, BeWellIndiana.org will focus on the various mental health challenges due to COVID-19, but will be updated regularly and will continue to evolve

as a resource beyond the current crisis.

Hoosiers can visit BeWellIndiana.org to find trusted resources curated by FSSA’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction, including information ranging from coping mechanisms, crisis counseling, how to self-monitor for signs of stress, domestic violence resources, substance use disorder and recovery, and tips for helping children, youth and teens.

Civic Theatre’s 2020-21 season centers on overcoming challenges

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Civic Theatre’s 2020-21 season will bring something old, something new and something unused.

PERFORMANCES “Bringing in the titles we were not able to produce from last season and adding ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ and ‘The Color Purple’ gives us a season that really speaks to overcoming challenges,” Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Michael J. Lasley said. “Even in the darkness, there is light and eventually redemption, even when circumstances are dire. We hope it’s prophetic for our own story as well.”

The recently announced season includes two shows, “Matilda the Musical” and “A Few Good Men,” from the 2019-20 season that were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. “A Few Good Men” was set to open March 13, but three hours before the curtain was supposed to open at The Tarkington, it was announced Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts would close because of the state’s gathering limitations. “Matilda” was supposed to open April 24. Lasley said he hopes most of the cast for both shows can return.

“I think it’s inevitable that a few people won’t be able to return,” he said. “But for the most part, we believe we’ll get the majority to return. Peoples’ lives change and conflicts arise, but we look forward to making roles in ‘A Few Good Men’ and ‘Matilda’ available to everyone that missed the opportunity to perform last season.

“Some of our young performers in ‘Matilda the Musical’ are going to grow, that is certain. But we’ve assured them that there is a place for them in the show if their schedules allow.”

“Matilda the Musical’” will open the season Oct. 2 and run through Oct. 17. “Elf the Musical’ will return for the second consecutive season from Dec. 4-26 — for good reason. “‘Elf’ outperformed our next-best holiday production, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Tech-

nicolor Dreamcoat,’ (2012) by nearly 30 percent in total sales,” Lasley said. “And it had an average capacity of 98 percent of seats sold. There is no doubt that its popularity is unprecedented, and that is a big driver for the return of the show.

“We also think it’s a perfect fit with the holiday atmosphere at the theater and surrounding areas.”

The 2021 portion of the schedule follows with “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Feb. 5-20; “A Few Good Men,” March 12-28; and “The Color Purple,” April 30 to May 15.

“This is our first production of ‘The Color Purple,’” Lasley said, “We are excited to make this performance opportunity to our African American performers and to make this amazing and uplifting story available to our audiences.”

The Jr. Civic Musical will be “Frozen Jr.” in June 2021, and the Young Artists

Program’s performance will be “Saturday Night Fever” in July 2021. Both shows were scheduled for this summer before being postponed.

“It is our hope that we can present the entirety of our announced season to our loyal patrons as well as new audiences,” Lasley said. “However, we will continue to monitor the ever-changing landscape caused by the global pandemic. We will pursue and adjust our plans for the season while always being guided by the health and safety of our employees, volunteers and patrons.”

Lasley said he hopes that social distancing will be reduced by October but that Civic Theatre is working on contingency plans in the event it is still in place.

“So much changes so fast during this difficult time that we’re trying to stay flexible and creative,” he said.

CSO’s schedule has emphasis on women

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When the Carmel Symphony Orchestra takes the Palladium stage, Music Director Janna Hymes is certain of one MUSIC thing.

“We’re going to be bursting with happiness,” she said. “It’s been quite difficult not to finish this season. While we’ve been making videos connecting with our audience and all of our supporters, it’s been quite difficult physically to have some energy when we aren’t in the same room making music together.”

Hymes announced the 2020-21 “Hope Renewed” schedule May 9 on the CSO Facebook page. The performances are usually held at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“It’s our 45th anniversary. When I program the season, there is an emphasis on women, so we have wonderful women composers and women soloists we’re bringing in this season,” Hymes said. “It’s going to be interesting and I think eye-opening because some of these women really are the voice of classical and orchestral music, so I think that is going to be really fun for our audience to hear.”

The Masterworks Series begins Oct. 10 with “Hope Renewed” featuring Gioachino Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville Overture,” and pieces by Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Mozart.

The Masterworks schedule continues on the following dates: Nov. 14, Brahms Requiem; Jan. 9, 2021, Edgar Meyer in Concert; Feb. 13, A Taste of Europe; and March 13, Musical Tales. Dance Kaleidoscope will join CSO for Musical Tales.

“The Brahms Requiem will feature Rick Sowers leading the choir, and Rick is retiring from Anderson University at the end of the (2020-21) school year,” Hymes said.

“The orchestra has been collaborating with him way before I joined, so that is going to be an exciting collaboration. So, we hope school is in session so the students can prepare like normal. There is a lot of waitand-see here. We hope we will be performing in the hall like normal.”

ATI to begin 2020-21 season with Patsy Cline tribute

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Cynthia Collins figures the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s 2020-21 season has the right combination.

THEATER “It’s just the right amount of humor and thought-provoking material,” said Collins, an ATI co-founder with Judy Fitzgerald and Don Farrell.

The season, which was announced on ATI’s Facebook page May 12, opens with “Always … Patsy Cline” from Sept. 4 to 27, which ATI presented in 2013. The ATI shows are typically held in The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Fitzgerald will reprise her role as Cline and Collins as Louise Seger, a devoted fan.

“In general, a remount is a bit easier if the same cast returns, which it is,” Collins said. “It just happens to be on the heels of the pandemic. We picked to remount the show because of its popularity the last time we presented it. It’s a small-cast show with a big presence. Patsy Cline was a huge talent and this show packs a wallop with all her hits.”

Farrell said the show was selected in part because it is a smaller show to keep costs low.

“It is added fortuitous that it will help us ease into our season with the pandemic going on,” he said.

In addition, ATI will present “Lombardi” and “The Big Bang” for the first time.

“Lombardi” is a play based on the life of the late Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, which had its Broadway debut in October 2010. Collins said ATI has wanted to present the six-person play for a few years.

It runs from Oct. 30 to Nov. 22.

“We have shows on the back burner every season,” Collins said. “Just like Patsy Cline, Vince Lombardi was a huge presence. We hope the play will appeal to people across the board, younger and older, athletes and artists.”

Collins and Farrell described “The Big Bang” as hilarious and a perfect show for the third slot. The comedy runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 21, 2021. “‘The Big Bang’ is a hysterical hit that ran off Broadway and will tickle the funny bone of any theater lover with this zany, off-thewall musical comedy,” Farrell said. “If our patrons loved our past productions of ‘The 39 Steps’ or ‘Murder for Two,’ they will love ‘The Big Bang.’”

“Damn Yankees” had been slated to close the 2019-20 season with a four-week run, starting April 24, before the pandemic closed the Center for the Performing Arts. It again is scheduled to close the season from April 30 to May 23, 2021.

The entire cast has been invited back.

Fitzgerald plays Meg Boyd and Farrell is cast as Mr. Applegate.

Natural State Provisions

Commentary by Anna Skinner

Natural State Provisions’ Mac Patty is a hearty, delicious meal. The restaurant has not yet reopened. Here, the sandwich is pictured with a brownie, collard greens and a stout. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Address: 9713 District North Dr., Suite 1210, Fishers What to get: Mac Patty Price: $11 Anna’s take: Note that Natural State Provisions has not reopened since closing during the pandemic, but Fishers District recently reopened, and if Natural State Provisions doesn’t reopen soon, there are other options within the Fishers Test Kitchen to place orders. However, if Natural State Provisions does reopen, I highly encourage you to patronize the restaurant. It offers high-quality Southern comfort food, and the Mac Patty was extremely good. It’s a 6

oz. grilled burger with green chile dressing, American cheese, bacon and stout-caramelized onions on Texas toast. The eatery also offers Southern sides like collard greens with house pickles and smoked ham ($4) and many other options. I’m not big on southern food, but everything I tried at Natural State Provisions made me rethink that.

Suggesting pairings: Since the Mac Patty onions are caramelized in a stout, it makes sense to pair this hearty meal with one of Sun King Brewing Co.’s stouts. Sun King is in the same building as the Fishers Test Kitchen, so you can enjoy the beverages and the food in the same place.
