PuccinisPizzaPasta.com State officials reveal data trends during the pandemic

By Jarred Meeks • jarred@youarecurrent.com After Memorial Day weekend, state officials underscored the importance of continued social distancing as the state attempts to move forward with its fivestage plan to reopen the economy.

PANDEMIC “I saw reports from around Indiana and the rest of the country this weekend of people who were packed in pools or at restaurants, shoulder-to-shoulder, and without wearing masks, not practicing social distancing,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said during a May 27 virtual press briefing. “We do not want to see that number of cases spike because people got tired of these precautions and treated this as an unofficial start to summer and business as usual. These are not business-as-usual times. The threat from COVID-19 is still very real, and we need to do all we can to prevent the spread of this disease.

“That may mean wearing a mask if you’re at the pool, and you’re not in the water. It may be inconvenient, but I know that these steps can save lives.”

Box said the state wants to gain more insight regarding the impact of the new coronavirus in Indiana after the second round of testing by the IUPUI Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health study, which was scheduled to begin June 3. The random-sample testing study will give state officials a representative snapshot of virus spread that can be used to scientifically estimate the virus’ impact on the entire state without the need to test all residents.

Preliminary results from the study’s first wave, completed in early May, found 2.8 percent of Indiana residents have or have had the virus and that the majority of its spread in the state occurred through shared housing and not in the community.

As of May 27, the Indiana State Dept. of Health reported 32,437 total Indiana residents were known to have the virus. More than 41 percent of ICU beds and nearly 82 percent of ventilators were available.

A total of 1,871 Hoosiers were confirmed to have died from COVID-19. Another 159 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record. And 235,333 tests had been reported to the ISDH. “This is a silent spread, and it can silently kill,” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said.

“We have to understand that folks can be asymptomatic and not know that they are passing this on, not intentionally, for sure. But when you get into those large, confined gathering areas, that’s where we tend to see the spread occur. I would just continue to appeal to folks’ sense of civic duty, not just their personal responsibility, but how their liberty can impact someone else’s, and that’s the bottom line. We are trying to get through this.”

Unemployment On May 22, state officials revealed Indiana’s unemployment rate had increased to 16.9 percent in April. Previously, it was reported an unemployment rate of 3.2 percent in March. The U.S. unemployment rate was 14.7 percent in April.

“This is the highest rate we’ve seen in Indiana since 1982, where it stood at 12.6 percent,” Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne said.

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

Hamilton County Stabilization Fund selects businesses - The Hamilton County

Stabilization Fund for Small Businesses has selected 105 small businesses to grant funds in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All total, they will receive $743,205 in grant money. That money was approved by the Hamilton County Commissioners at their meeting May 26. Each business has been granted anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 based on their demonstrated need. Grants can be used for payroll, utilities, rent, mortgage, insurance and products directly used in pro-

duction of a product for sale. Preference was given to businesses that had not received abatements or incentives from the federal government, State of Indiana, or any local government entity. Recipients of the Stabilization Fund’s grant dollars were recently notified. They must show proof that they are in good standing with the Indiana Secretary of State before funds can be disseminated.

bridging equity gaps

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com In her new role as Ivy Tech Community College’s vice president COVER STORY of diversity, equity and belonging, Doneisha Posey said she will serve as a sounding board.

“The position of vice president of diversity, equity and belonging is really the first step for Ivy Tech to take a statewide focus on our diversity and equity efforts,” Posey said. “So, my role is really to be a sounding board and advisor, a coach for our staff, our faculty and our students when it comes to our diversity and belonging efforts.”

Posey began her position April 6, but prior to that, she spent several months working for Ivy Tech. She started with the college in November 2019 as executive director of employee diversity. Her new position isn’t new but the title is.

“They had this position before, but this is the first time they’ve used this title,” she said.

Posey’s day-to-day duties will look

different, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“With everyone working from home, my role is to be visible internally with our students, staff and faculty, and also externally around the state with our community, community organizations and community leaders that work alongside us in partnership to create more equitable education opportunities,” the Lawrence resident said.

So far, Posey has performed a wealth of professional development and training on topics such as workplace accommodations, sexual harassment in the workplace and making sure minorities are being recruited, promoted and retained at the same levels as nonminority students.

“When it comes to student diversity and equity issues, I’m working alongside our faculty and our other student-serving employees to make sure when we are, for example, looking at creating curriculum, we do it with a diversity mindset so everyone within our college feels like they belong, not only physically in the school, but also within the curriculum and pedagogies that our staff use,” Posey said. “It’s so important everyone feels they belong, and

Doneisha Posey was recently hired as Ivy Tech Community College’s vice president of Diversity, Equity and Belonging.

Ivy Tech hires new vice president of diversity, equity and belonging

I’m so happy Ivy Tech is using the word ‘belonging’ and not necessarily just ‘including’ because everyone should feel as if they belong, and if they do belong, we see increased performance of our students in the classroom and increased engagement in our employees working day to day.

“It just makes sense for the college to put an emphasis on belonging.”

Posey will frequently travel to each of Ivy Tech’s 18 campuses across the state.

“I’m excited to help the college focus some of our efforts on creating equity as a statewide institution,” she said. “We see equity in different ways, whether that’s racial equity, urban versus rural equity, gen-

der equity. There’s so many different ways we can consider equity, and I’m excited to take a look at that from all different perspectives in alignment with ensuring our students are ready for the workforce after they finish their credentialing and certificates at Ivy Tech.”

Outside of work, Posey has two children, a 4-year-old and a 5-year-old, who keep her busy.

“I like to spend time with my family,” she said. “I also teach a couple of courses at IU McKinney School of Law, so I like teaching and just spending time with family and friends.”

DONEISHA POSEY’S EXPERIENCE The position for Ivy Tech Community College’s vice president of Diversity, Equity and Belonging was posted nationally and had more than 90 applicants. Lawrence resident Doneisha Posey was hired and started in early April.

Prior to joining Ivy Tech, Posey worked as deputy director and general counsel for the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. She

also is an adjunct law professor at Indiana University McKinney School of Law, where she teaches Housing Discrimination and Segregation and Race and the Law. In 2019, Posey received the Indiana Civil Rights Commission’s Drum Major for Justice Award and was the 2018 Marion County Bar Association Lawyer of the Year.

ESSAY

LETTER

Can’t or won’t?

Don’t blame Asian Americans

Commentary by Terry Anker Even as spring cleaning is well underway across this land of ours, so is the perennial challenge of how to adequately find equilibrium in the household division of labor. Laundry, lawn mowing, spider killing, meal preparation, planting and maintaining flowers, child care, earning a living to pay for it all and countless other chores befall us. We prioritize their importance, and our desire to do them, and plod along endeavoring to keep our lives moving in working order and, hopefully, improving.

For some of us living alone, we are singularly responsible. But for many residing as families, each does a bit of every task. Mom works and so does Dad. Dad cooks and so does Mom. And for others, the labor is split along traditional ethnic or gender lines, by aptitude, by physical presence or by interest.

We settle into our duties comfortably, occasionally checking to ensure that we are maintaining parity with our co-inhabitants. Is anyone doing too much or too little? For most, a good-natured equipoise is found. And if someone’s not pulling their weight, a bit of prodding will suffice.

Alas, as with all human endeavor, some of us will seek to game the system. Advice is often shared, a few drinks in, at the bachelor/bachelorette party, such as, “Don’t let your partner know of your laundry acumen, lest you become the household expert — for life!

They suggest, choose those things you want to do and feign incompetence for the rest. The occasional red sweater thrown in with a load of whites not only produces pink sheets but also becomes an antidote for ever having to do the laundry again.

Serious questions about spousal manipulation aside, how much of our lives do we spend imitating ineptitude? How many of our claims of “cannot” are really that we “will not?”

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Nothing to complain about Commentary by Danielle Wilson Current management recently joked that they missed the good old days when readers would complain about my HUMOR column. Alas, with kids mostly grown and out of the house, a job and husband I adore, and an almost total boycott of news outlets, I simply have less opportunity to make bad parenting decisions, judge other soccer moms and care about life as we know it. I also think I’ve become more patient as I approach 50 and understand that on certain things, what I say won’t make a hill-of-beans difference, anyway.

So, yes, I could regale you with my thoughts on Stepford women who relish shaming anyone who’s not breastfeeding, staying at home or cooking only organic food (guilty on all three counts!). Or even better, I could discuss my views on the religious folks who like to badmouth those of us who don’t go to church every Sunday or participate in “small group.” But now that

I’m older and infinitely wiser, I realize supermoms are merely compensating for their own insecurities about motherhood and the devout are just trying to keep me from going to hell.

Of course, if I wanted to really stir the pot, I could go on and on about the nightmare of a president we have, but what good would it do? His supporters are still going to vote for him in November and I’m still going to experience intense stomach pains when I accidentally hear about his latest idiotic tweet (Obama 2020?).

See how much I’ve grown through the years? PTO volunterrorists, anti-vaxxers, global warming deniers ... you do you, people. I’m not one to comment.

Peace out.

Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at info@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, President Trump’s attempt to shift blame for his administration’s tardy response to COVID-19 onto China has resulted in similar-minded politicians following suit. Yes, the virus originated in China, but that was due to the actions of residents of China. Unfortunately, because of Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, Asian Americans are now the targets of hate and retaliation, when they are as impacted as the rest of us. Blaming an entire race of people is not a recovery strategy, and our fellow citizens in Indiana and the U.S. are suffering because of this misplaced rhetoric.

Here in Indiana, the most ludicrous claim belongs to Carl Brizzi, whose TV ads claim that Chinese nationalists are sneaking across our southern border with the intent of infecting as many people as possible with coronavirus.

Running for public office should include facts and promises of future service, not conspiracy theories. I hope that Hoosiers are not fooled by these political candidates’ absurd claims, and that they vote for a candidate who is grounded in reality and will represent all of us.

Restore Skin Therapy offers holistic services

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Restore Skin Therapy has been in business since June 2016. Two years ago, it moved to one of the barracks PROFILE buildings in historic Fort Benjamin Harrison in Lawrence.

Owner Breena Yates, an esthetician, recently launched her own skin care line.

“I practice holistically. It’s a very different type of philosophy versus some of the other spas and places you can go,” the Lawrence resident said. “We have decided to grasp that holistic point of view, so we take a look at the mind, body and spirit and treat it that way.

“My philosophy is not to induce any inflammatory treatments to your skin, so we don’t do deep chemical peels.”

Restore Skin Therapy develops treatments to give clients results without causing excess inflammation. The business also offers massage therapy and has retail space. It also offers halotherapy, which is a therapy using salt, for respiratory issues

such as bronchitis, allergies and asthma.

Service prices are listed on Restore Skin Therapy’s website, restoreskintherapy.com.

Yates created her own skin care line eight months ago.

“Restore has its own branded skin care products,” Yates said. “It has been quite the labor of love and a lot of fun to do.

We worked with a lot of different labs to create the right products for our business with different cleansers, treatment serums, brightening creams, firming creams.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Restore SINCE 1993 Skin Therapy has been closed but was QUALITY PRODUCTS, scheduled to reopen June 1.

a direct result of wanting to help seniors fill that void during such a stressful time.

“Participants who are used to in-person classes will recognize most of the moves we do in the video, with maybe a couple of twists and variations to keep them fresh.”

Jackson said the Exercise & Mindfulness classes at Bell Trace are two of the most popular activities.

“When we had to stop holding them in person, that was difficult for our residents,” she said. “When the residents learned we had online classes available, they were so excited. We help them set up bookmarks and links on their devices, and we even have iPads they can borrow. Participation in our community has been great, with several residents completing videos daily.”

Homemade face mask care — Homemade masks are definitely susceptible to viruses.

Wearing a mask reduces the concentration of virus particles that can be inhaled from respiratory droplets, which in turn reduces the transmission of COVID-19, but masks can also carry the virus. The Centers for Disease Control recommends washing your mask at least once a day. Emily de Golian, a board-certified dermatologist at Dermatology Consultants in Georgia, said masks shouldn’t be worn for more than 30 minutes because the dampness from our breath makes it less effective as a barrier against coronavirus transmission. Machine washing is optimal, and the material of your face mask will determine the temperature of the water, at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also disinfect masks by ironing or putting them in an oven for 20 minutes at about 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Christian band Holy Fire releases 1st single

Beef & Boards prepares for reopening

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Kelly Frank has always been a huge fan of 1980s Christian rock hair bands.

So the Fishers musician MUSIC and his son, Travis Frank, who now lives in Los Angeles, were thrilled to perform as an opening act when bands Stryper, Petra and Whitecross performed in Rocktoberfest Oct. 29, 2016 at Old National Centre in Indianapolis.

That led to more collaboration with some members of those bands, including Petra lead singer John Schlitt. Frank and his son formed a band, Holy Fire. The band released its first single, “Fool Runnin,” in April, which Frank wrote.

“I’m hoping to do a complete album, but it’s taken us a year to get the first song on,” Frank said. “Depending what happens in the next couple months will determine if we ever get a whole album out. For us to continue to record, we’re going to have to go back to Tennessee to finish the rest of the songs.”

Frank said the band intends to make a video, but those plans have been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. Frank said some songs are already written but the band needs time in the studio.

“I’m taking things one at a time but it’s good to have something released,” Frank said. “I’m pleased with it and I’m ready to do another one.”

John Schlitt sings the lead on “Fool Runnin” and John Lawry plays keyboards and produced the song. Frank and his son sing backup vocals. Lawry is a keyboardist for Petra. Travis Frank and Rex Carroll, who played for Christian rock group Whitecross, plays guitar. Bryan Cooley plays bass guitar. Petra drummer Louie Weaver was mostly used on that as a singer, but Frank said the band uses other drummers. Jason Siefert plays guitar and handles publicity for Holy Fire.

Frank said Holy Fire is ready to do a show, but all the members have their own solo projects.

Schlitt, 70, released a 10-song solo album called “Go” earlier this year. Prior to joining Petra, Schlitt was the lead singer for the

There is a definite buzz around Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

After suspending PERFORMANCE performances in mid-March because of gathering restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, Beef & Boards plans to present “Beehive: The 60s Musical” July 8 to Aug. 9.

“The entire staff has Stark this cooped-up creative energy,” Beef & Boards owner Doug Stark said. “We’ve got to get back to singing and dancing and entertaining.”

Stark said the reopening will be dependent on getting the green light from the guidelines by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett.

Beef & Boards has several safety measures planned.

“I have always been a big fan of adapting best practices, adding a few of our own ideas and always try to follow (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines,” Stark said.

Stark said Beef & Boards has installed UV lighting inside its air handlers to kill any viruses in the air. He said it will filter the air inside with an industrial high-efficiency particulate air filter between shows. Stations with hand sanitizer will be available immediately upon entering.

The most noticeable change is Beef & Boards will not have its customary buffet but will deliver food to the table by wait staff wearing protective gear.

“It’s totally new and uncharted territory for us,” Stark said. “We meet every week to review the new protocols. I know we will have some customers who will miss our buffet; however, we found it will be the safest environment for both our staff and customers to serve plated food.”

Capacity will be limited to 250 people.

Normal capacity is between 425 to 450.

There will be a greater distance between tables.

rock band Head East, best known for the hit “Never Been Any Reason.”

“I want to help John get out and promote his new album,” Frank said. “Stryper is releasing a new album this year. I just love the Christian rock music and sharing with the groups out there hammering away, sharing the gospel and their message.”

Frank said he is looking for a venue where the band can perform a Holy Fire show with Stryper or Petra.

“A lot of these musicians are with different bands,” Frank said. “The Holy Fire aspect of it would be bringing Travis in and we would do an actual show with our stuff. It’s more of trying to get the message out through the Christian musicians.

When we get these guys together, we want to have these tunes that we can get up on stage and do.”

Frank said he would like to hold regular

shows at a venue, perhaps a church, with central Indiana Christian musicians.

“Maybe we would do workshops where musicians can share their craft,” Frank said. “During these crazy times, music is one of those things that can bring people together. We want people to get their message heard and out.”

Frank said Schlitt, who overcame drug issues after leaving Head East and eventually turned to Christian rock, has a powerful message.

“As a band, we want to tap into the testimonies of guys like John Schlitt and myself who are trying to share their message through music,” Frank said. “Our message is geared toward love God and love each other.”

“Fool Runnin” is available on iTunes, Pandora and Spotify. For more, visit kellyandtravisfrank.com.

Fishers District mural installed

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers District patrons will begin to see public art pop up around their favorite businesses and restaurants as developART er Thompson Thrift announced the start of four outdoor mural installations within the mixed-use development.

Fishers District is at 116th Street and IKEA Way. The first mural was painted by Nekoda Witsken, a Fishers resident and a Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate. The mural is at the Verizon Wireless store off IKEA Way and will measure 35 by 9 feet. It’s a bold, colorful design featuring the words “Thanks for Being Weird with Me.” “I grew up in the HSE Schools system, and one main thing about the community that stuck with me is it helped me feel vibrant and spirited and be who I am and embrace eccentricities to come together and make this whole being an artist thing a reality,” Witsken said. “The flower is symbolic of growing through the process, and sunflowers follow the sun with their face, and it’s an entrepreneurial idea – to pivot to what’s happening around you, so I threw it

all together in a wacky, technicolor mural.”

Each of the murals must represent the City of Fishers’ theme of being a smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial city.

Although the project began last year as Thompson Thrift Retail Group began working with Nickel Plate Arts and the Fishers Arts and Cultural Commission to select artists, the installation was pushed to 2020.

Future murals will feature artwork by Dan Toro, from Laramie, Wyo., Megan Jefferson, Indianapolis and Travis Neal, Indianapolis.

If you’re local and ordering from DeBrand, make sure you select the Indianapolis location and not the store in Fort Wayne. DeBrand has a large selection of high-quality chocolate, but my favorite is the truffle collection. It varies in price depending on the size. The truffles are big, luscious, beautiful pieces of chocolate with varying flavors. My favorite is macadamia hazelnut, but the others also are very good.

I added whole roasted salted almonds, and they were delicious. No matter the season, DeBrand is a delicious place to visit. It is offering takeout orders during the pandemic.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updated ’70s Noblesville basement Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. Custom maple cabinetry in a beautiful smoke-colored stain was built to surround the TV in the living area as well as to provide functional storage in the office.

2. Oil-rubbed bronze decorative fixtures, including hardware, chandelier and sconces, beautifully complement the cabinetry.

3. In the office, the new built-ins were installed along one wall (they were previously in an L-shape), which provides a more open feel.

4. Luxury vinyl flooring in the gym is highly durable and provides cushion and warmth.

THE CHALLENGE Located in Noblesville’s North Harbour neighborhood, this home was built in 1976.

The homeowners wanted to update the look and feel of their mostly finished basement, which includes a living area, bar and home office. They also wanted to transition a portion of unfinished basement space into a home gym.

Current provides excellent value and reach with both its print and digital offerings. I feel confident Current’s weekly newspaper helps O’Malia’s Living draw customers from across the six northern markets it covers. The targeted email campaigns increase visitors to my website, giving me the opportunity to gain new customers. These results are why I have Current’s print and digital solutions in my advertising plans for 2020.
