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 Fishers.

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 Fishers 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

SUMMER CAMPS IN CRISIS Current in Fishers currentinfishers.com

An interview with Jon Beight Director at Twin Lakes Camp in Hillsboro Indiana.

How long have you been the director at Twin Lakes?

I started at Twin Lakes in 2000 after serving on the Camp Board for two years. Camping has been a part of my life since being a camper at age 10. After my freshman year in college, I was a summer counselor.

When did you realize camp wasn’t happening?

Five days after Indiana’s stay-at-home order was put in place, a large camp in Texas announced they had canceled their summer camps. That sent shock waves around the camping industry. Nearly everyone thought it was way too soon and was an overreaction.

The “Back on Track Indiana” plan with camps starting June 14, meant we would need to cancel our first week of camp. About 80% of our parents switched their children to another week. We met with the health department and 10 of our camp’s volunteer Registered Nurses (many who were working in hospitals treating COVID patients at the time). They developed a Communicable Disease plan to keep our campers safe. We were feeling good about camp for 2020. We started ordering our regular camp supplies, as well as the extra supplies needed for increased hygiene and sanitation.

On May 22, five days before summer camp counselors were to arrive at camp the updated CDC guidelines made the decision for us.

Camp was canceled!

What are you hearing from other camp directors?

Most all overnight residential camps have canceled.

Special needs camps and camps tied to universities were the first to cancel, and they did that fairly early.

Many camps are struggling to find camp staff, as recruiting was hindered by the closing of colleges and universities. If you use volunteers you might be able to salvage some camping weeks. Those camps that have professionally trained summer counselors are facing the biggest challenges.

What’s the financial impact of COVID on camps?

We have definitely taken a huge financial hit as we’ve had to return deposits and camp payments from our campers, which is understandable since so many

people are unemployed or worried about their future employment. Never in my wildest dreams did I think illness would affect camp like it has these last 12 weeks. Much of the money that we had collected since the end of last summer had been spent on recruiting campers and staff, building maintenance, grounds upkeep and payroll for our year-round staff members with the anticipation of a full summer.

Many camps are experiencing the same loss of revenue. The last weekend of February was most camps last source of income, except for donations.

Families can also plan their own excursions off the camp property. Horseback riding at Turkey Run, canoe trips down the Sugar Creek, touring the covered bridges in Parke County, 4x4 rentals in Attica or renting a pontoon boat on Raccoon Lake.

Would you like to be involved in financially supporting youth camping in Indiana? Contact the camp director of any Indiana youth camp to help.

For more information about Twin Lakes Camp Visit their website at www.twinlakescamp.com Call the camp office at 765-798-4000.

1451 W Twin Lakes Rd Hillsboro, IN 47949

It has halted Twin Lakes building program for a new activities center that sits half completed. What was looking like a record year of growth and finances has turned out to be the opposite.

What are you doing to combat the canceling of traditional summer programs?

We are changing from a traditional youth camp to a family vacation facility. Families are going be able to rent cabins this summer. I am proud of our team and thankful to God that he has allowed us to be creative in changing so quickly. As we worked through the changes, we also had to work through our faith-based mission. We are excited about our family vacation programing for this summer. God already had 10 of our full time summer staff here training for specialty roles. We are confident we can provide an excellent place for families to find refuge and relax this summer.

How can families plan a stay at Twin Lakes?

We are offering both day passes to the camp and overnight family cabin rentals.

Every summer I have parents telling me that they wish they could come to camp. This is their year!

Now parents or grandparents can bring their children for the day or stay over 3-7 nights and have a fun experience in our modern, well-equipped cabins. We have all our traditional camp activities available as well as some great meals.

Twin Lakes is offering a tremendous opportunity for a fun, safe, relaxing getaway that will make family memories for years to come.

Spartz, Hale win primaries

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Clear leaders emerged early in contests for Republican and Democratic nominations to fill the seat of the 5th ELECTION Congressional District seat occupied by Republican Susan Brooks, who isn’t seeking reelection.

Brooks’ retirement drew a host of new and wellknown local political figures to seek the seat. Early in the night, Republican Victoria Spartz and Democrat Christina Hale were declared the nominees.

Spartz Spartz, Indiana’s District 20 state senator representing Noblesville, beat 14 other Republican candidates.

“I would like to thank the great people of Indiana’s 5th Congressional District for placing their trust in me to be their nominee for Congress,” Spartz said in a statement. “I also want to thank my family and supporters who spent countless hours helping me.

My candidacy, and tonight’s victory, also prove that the American Dream is alive and

well, and voters want a representative who will defend it. As Margaret Thatcher once said, ‘Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.’ I would add by the philosophy of freedom.”

Hale, a former state representative, beat four other Democratic candidates, including Carmel resident Dee Thornton.

“Our community is facing unprecedented challenges, and I’m committed to taking action on the issues most critical to families across (the 5th District),” Hale said in a statement. “Whether it’s the lack of access to affordable health care during Hale a global pandemic, or the economic crisis that has forced over half a million Hoosiers to file for unemployment, our problems are too grave to waste time on partisan politics.”

Spartz and Hale will face off in the Nov. 3 general election. Libertarian Ken Tucker also is running for the 5th District. For more on the candidates, visit spartzforcongress.com, haleforcongress. com and aguyfromindiana.com.

Fishers Equity Awareness Demonstration protests racial injustice

13

OUR MODELS ARE OPEN!

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern high school students took a stand against racial injustice June 1 during EVENT a peaceful protest. Dozens of students, organized primarily by recent graduates, participated in the Fishers Equity Awareness Demonstration on the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater lawn.

Dozens of signs lined the amphitheater.

The group also raised funds for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Black Lives Matter, The Atlanta Solidarity Fund and The Bail Project, Inc. Fishers graduate Jackson Bell came up with the idea.

“I had seen a lot of support for movements like this, and I decided I felt like there was a lot of momentum, and I decided I would love to move it into a physical movement because it’s more impactful than a social media post,” he said. “There was a great group of people who really have taken a huge leadership role. I may be the person who had the idea, but a lot of people had a lot more impact in terms of coordination, and we found some great voices who weren’t just a white kid like me.”

Bell, who will attend Indiana University in the fall, regarded the demonstration as the class of 2020’s swan song.

“Even though this is a really white neighborhood, the support has been incredible,” he said.

New visitation guidelines

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

CALL YARDVARKS! 317-565-3540

YARDVARKSLAWNCARE.COM Yardvarks...doing a common thing uncommonly well!

Data released June 1 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services indicates long-term care facilities PANDEMIC may contribute to more Indiana COVID-19 deaths than previously thought.

Almost 26,000 resident COVID-19 deaths have occurred in the facilities since the start of the pandemic, according to the CMS. The data represents the first nationwide cumulative study of COVID-19’s effect on the facilities.

The CMS reports 1841 resident COVID-19 cases in nursing homes and 1,141 resident deaths, but the Indiana State Dept. of Health reports 945 deaths in long-term care facilities, which include nursing homes. Indiana FSSA chief medical officer Dr. Dan Rusyniak said the discrepancy between CMS data and ISDH data could be a result of multiple differences in reporting.

On April 10, the state required long-term care facilities to report any deaths to the ISDH within two hours. Rusyniak said the requirement allows the state to better track COVID-19 outbreaks in the facilities.

When the requirement was implemented, the ISDH asked facilities to report their cumulative total of deaths and cases up to that point.

“This was a quick, one-time assessment to get a baseline,” Rusyniak said during a recent virtual press briefing. “It’s possible that the facilities were not able to accurately account for and report the deaths at that time.”

Rusyniak also said the discrepancy is likely a case of deaths that have not been properly reported as having occurred in long-term care facilities. He said he does not believe there are nearly 200 unaccounted deaths.

State officials said they are trying to determine the cause of the discrepancy.

New nursing home visitation guidelines State officials recently announced they will release guidelines that will outline how long-term care facilities can allow visits with residents.

When the CMS recommended health departments to enact stringent visitation guidelines for long-term care facilities at the start of the pandemic, the ISDH followed suit. For nearly three months, family members and friends have not been able to visit residents in such facilities.

“These restrictions are, however, not

without consequences,” Rusyniak said.

“We recognize that isolation has serious impacts on the health and the well-being of the residents in these facilities.”

To date, most familial correspondence with facility residents has relied on technology, such as Zoom and phone calls, but Rusyniak said the alternatives are not an appropriate substitute for in-person visits.

“While the congregate nature of a nursing home can amplify the spread of COVID-19, recent evidence in the scientific literature has shown that transmission risks are much lower outdoors,” Rusyniak said. “We believe that the risk of COVID transmission in long-term care facilities and the need for (interactions with) family, partners (and) close friends can be balanced.”

Under certain circumstances, the guidelines may allow for residents to meet with visitors outdoors. Rusyniak said the guidelines would consider an individual facility’s and the facility’s community’s COVID-19 rates.

Rusyniak said the guidelines are a “first step” in allowing facility residents to reconnect with friends and family and not a final solution.

Pandemic relief efforts Gov. Eric Holcomb recently announced multiple economic recovery initiatives designed to bolster COVID-19 relief efforts.

The state will allocate nearly $44 million to provide support, including approximately $37 million in direct funding through grants and investments to small businesses and manufacturers. The state plans to use federal relief funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, to help fund the initiatives.

One of the initiatives, the Small Business Restart Fund, consists of $30 million in federal funding through the CARES Act to assist small businesses. The fund will provide grants, helping the small businesses recover by providing capital to cover expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indiana small businesses with fewer than 50 employees and $5 million in annual revenue that report a 40 percent drop in revenue will be eligible to be reimbursed for up to 80 percent of qualified expenses, such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities, lease payments or personal protective equipment.

“We believe that coach Winegar brings a dynamic set of skills that will add value to our physical education department, our basketball program, and our athletic department,” FHS Athletic Director Rob Seymour stated.

Winegar said he had a productive Zoom call with the players after being hired.

Teams cannot work out until July 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic. He sent out a month’s worth of workouts to players June 1.

“We would like to be starting June practice,” he said. “That will hurt a new coach coming in with a new system. Not having the whole season is obviously going to be a challenge. I think we will be a team that gets a whole lot better throughout the season.”

Winegar said his system will be a little more uptempo.

“Coach Moore is leaving behind an amazing foundation for us to build on,” he said. “If we can score in the first 7 seconds, we’ll do that, but we’re not going to take a bad shot to do that. We still have to be disciplined to get the shot we want when we want it.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Lockdown insight

Equity for all

Commentary by Terry Anker The list of guilty pleasures we indulge has only been fed by our prolonged isolation. If we are prone to sneak occasional ice cream, being locked in with a gallon or two of our favorites calling out to us from the kitchen freezer just a few feet away urges us to partake.

Likewise, the missing commute, workout and laundry duties give us a bit more time. Although learning another language, advancing in our yoga studies or mastering the wood lathe may have been our hope, as we find ourselves on the precipice of returning to organized society, and the soaring ratings prove, most of us have burned a good deal of time watching old-fashioned television.

It turns out there are countless channels with all manner of programming, the point of which is difficult to discern.

Still, quick cuts, abjectly profane topics and the good-looking people and place are well-suited to capture our attention.

A few picks are shows that aggregate video clips of folks doing self-destructive or silly things that have then been posted to the internet. People jump from rooftops into backyard pools. People attempt to ride grocery carts down flights of stairs. People wear masks to frighten their grandmothers. Sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish between its absurdity, its cruelty or its legitimate insight about the human condition.

Among the latter, a recent clip showed a college-aged student working alongside his peers while becoming increasingly agitated by the failure of his laptop to comply with his desired direction. Soon, his frustration escalated from begging, to yelling, to beating and, ultimately, to obliterating his expensive Apple. Certainly, the computer deserved it. We all can agree that they are exasperating. But what victory is there in winning the battle but losing the war?

Hail the soulless victor!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson My youngest announced the other day that if my husband Doo and I were thrown into the “Hunger Games” with HUMOR all of her aunts and uncles, I’d be the most likely to emerge the victor. “Yes!” I shouted, fist-pumping.

Oh, but wait. Is that a good thing? “Explain yourself.” So she proceeded to elaborate on how I could defeat 10 men taller than 6 feet and nine women who’ve survived pregnancy and childbirth.

For starters, I apparently have the cold-blooded temperament necessary to deliver fatal blows to my opponents. “You’re not emotional, Mom. You’ll do what needs to be done and move on.” Hmmm. I guess that’s a positive.

Second, she felt that with my ultra-competitive nature, I simply wouldn’t allow another competitor to win. I do recall once telling Doo that I’d rather die than let him beat me in a triathlon. I wasn’t joking. If I’m gonna lose, he’ll literally have to leap over my dead body to cross that finish line first.

“Plus, you’re really tough mentally and physically. I don’t think you’d last long in ‘Naked and Afraid’ because you don’t have the body fat, but you’re scrappy. Hunger, dehydration, indiscriminate shankings ... none of that would bother you.” Again with the soullessness. Compliment or criticism? I honestly couldn’t tell.

But clearly she’d given this considerable thought, because next up were the many reasons everyone else would lose. Too nice, too needy, too social, too cerebral. In her mind, I’m the perfect blend of resourcefulness, resilience and readiness to kill.

In these uncertain and seemingly apocalyptic times, it’s somewhat comforting to know where I stand. “Hunger Games” victor!

Peace out.

“I apparently have the cold-blooded temperament necessary to deliver fatal blows to my opponents. ‘You’re not emotional, Mom.’”

Editor, I know I can never really understand what it’s like to be an African American in our country today, but I can still be outraged at the injustice and racism that continue to be a stain on our nation. This past month has shown again that we have a deep and systemic problem in the way some of our citizens are treated.

I know many of us are hurt, upset, angry and even in despair about what has happened. Let’s extend the power of love to each other and let’s stand together; that we all say “no” to hate and injustice and cruelty wherever it manifests itself.

We in health care have our own issues of injustice and inequity to address, as we know that African Americans and other minorities have long had issues accessing appropriate care, have higher rates of common chronic illnesses and, more recently, have suffered disproportionate rates of infection and death from COVID-19. At IU Health, we are continuing to provide excellent and compassionate care to all the patients we care for, but we also know there’s more we can do to address health disparities in our communities, and we are working on doing so.

DISPATCHES Indiana 10th-worse state for COVID-19 health care infrastructure – The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed weaknesses in the nation’s health care system, from supplies to staffing to bed counts, but issues have been far from uniform across the U.S. The WalletHub website recently released its report on the States with the Best Health Infrastructure for Coronavirus. To identify which states have the best health infrastructure, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 14 key metrics. The data set ranges from the state’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness funding per capita to the share of the population that is uninsured and the number of hospital beds per capita. Indiana ranked 10th-worst among state.

former CDC chief medical officer, suggested washing your fabric mask after every use. And 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. It is important to note that detergents with bleach-like compounds or other active ingredients should be used when washing masks. 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.

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. Robert Amler, dean of the School of Health Sciences and Practice at New York Medical College and a

Beginning exercise – If you’re wanting to begin an exercise regimen in the new year, here’s a way to get started. Try doing some basic circuit training routines, because these things will improve your endurance.

You can try doing five rounds of 15 jumping jacks, 10 walking lunges, 10 mountain climbers and five pushups. Exercising your entire body can make a lot of difference.

I Heart Mac and Cheese opens in Westfield

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A new business recently opened in Westfield, the first of its kind in the Midwest.

I Heart Mac and Cheese, a NEW BIZ chain of 17 restaurants, mostly in Georgia and New York, is at 637 E. Ind. 32.

The franchise is owned by Matt Griffin.

“The reason we chose Westfield is my wife (Liz) was a police officer in Westfield, and she resigned late last year to do more with the restaurant and stay home with our family,” Matt Griffin said. “And Westfield is just a growing area. She was a police officer there for 18 years, and we only saw it as fitting to start the first (Indiana) franchise there.”

By the end of 2021, there will be a projected 100 I Heart Mac and Cheese franchises across the U.S. Some of the restaurant’s offerings are lobster & white truffle mac, a Philly cheese steak and baked Buffalo chicken, among other items.

The Westfield franchise opened June 3.

Although it does not have a drive-thru, it is linked with local delivery apps, such as

DoorDash and Grubhub. I Heart Mac and Cheese also has vegan and gluten-free options.

The Griffins live in Fishers, and Matt Griffin is a Noblesville Police Dept. patrol officer.

A ribbon cutting is scheduled for 11 a.m.

June 17. Ten percent of that day’s proceeds will be donated to the Westfield Youth Assistance Program. For more, visit iheartmacandcheese.com.

DISPATCHES Changes for Indiana notaries - Indiana’s largest body of public officials is undergoing several changes to longstanding regulations. Indiana Notaries Public can now discharge their duties remotely, and new rules for continuing education will soon take effect. One major change introduced this year was the debut of remote notarization, which took effect on March 31. In a remote notary situation, signers appear before the remote notary public by two-way audio/visual communication. This communication must be on a pre-approved platform, and the notarization and signatures are captured electronically. This allows Indiana notaries to perform remote notarizations at an essential time, due to social distancing protocols stemming from COVID-19. Only active notaries can become remote notaries.

Starting July 1, all notaries will be required to take a continuing education course every two years during their eight-year commission. All notaries are required to participate, and if a notary fails to complete their continuing education requirements by the

deadline, their commission will be terminated. For more, visit in.gov/sos/business/ index.htm.

Indiana DOR offers in-person service - The Indiana Dept. of Revenue is now accepting appointments for in-person customer service. Locations reopening include the district offices in Indianapolis, Bloomington, Clarksville, Columbus, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Lafayette, Merrillville, Muncie, South Bend and Terre Haute, along with DOR’s Motor Carrier Services customer center. Customers can schedule an appointment online at Appts.dor.in.gov or by calling customer service directly by calling 317-2322240 to schedule an appointment at the downtown Indianapolis office or by calling 317-615-7200 to schedule an appointment with DOR’s Motor Carrier Services.

Fishers High School’s Legg excited about Songbook Academy selection

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This summer’s Songbook Academy summer intensive will have a different feel.

Instead of being conducted MUSIC at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, it will be presented in an online format from July 12 to 18 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Emily Legg, who will be a senior at Fishers High School in the fall, is still thrilled to be selected as one of the 40 vocalists from across the nation.

The group includes three Zionsville Community High School students, Hayden Elefante, Lily Cross and Mahesh Gupta; two Carmel High School students, Emily Chrzanowski and Cara Nowlin; and Noblesville High School student Leah Spurlock.

“I was so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to be one of the finalists for Songbook Academy,” Legg said. “I watched so many performances on YouTube from previous years and was so amazed by all of the talented people who have attended in the past. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to grow as a performer as well as learn from the amazing coaches and talented attendees. It’s been really inspiring to learn about the Great American songbook and how it has impacted music as we know it today.

“Although I am disappointed that it cannot be in-person this year, I think that there are still so many amazing opportunities available for us online. Regardless

of the online format, I’m so honored to have this opportunity to learn, grow and perform.”

The Songbook Academy, in its 11th year, is the only youth music intensive focused on standards from the worlds of jazz, Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley.

The 40 finalists will take part in an interactive experience of professional vocal training, performance coaching, workshops, daily social activities and educational masterclasses with a star-studded team of mentors led by five-time Grammy Award nominee and Songbook Foundation Founder Michael Feinstein.

“While we are saddened we can’t gather on campus this year, we are guided by our first priority: Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, volunteers, guests and the entire Songbook Academy community,” stated Christopher Lewis, executive director of the Great American Songbook Foundation. “Fortunately, our staff and teaching faculty have been working proactively since mid-March

to develop a plan that preserves the quality, the camaraderie and the personalized nature of the experience.”

In addition to Feinstein and the vocal coaches and music directors who will work with the finalists, this year’s guest mentors include pianist/arranger Scott Bradlee, founder of the genre-blending Postmodern Jukebox video series and touring production; Tony and Grammy Award-nominated actress Ashley Park, whose Broadway work includes “Mean Girls,” “Grand Horizons,” “The King and I” and “Sunday in the Park with George”; actor/singer Faith Prince, a multiple Tony Award nominee and Best Actress winner for her role in “Guys and Dolls”; and ninetime Grammy winner and 17-time Grammy nominee Janis Siegel of The Manhattan Transfer. Other names will be announced soon.

Although health guidelines prohibit the customary schedule of public performances during Academy Week, many of the educational sessions will be available for live public viewing on Facebook and YouTube. The week will culminate July 18 in an all-day performance showcase hosted by Feinstein and streamed online for families, friends and the public to enjoy. More information and a schedule of events are available at TheSongbook.org/ SongbookAcademyOnline.

This year’s application process drew entries from hundreds of students representing 28 states. The Top 40 finalists selected by the admissions panel hail from 16 states.

Center for Performing Arts seeks input

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Center for the Performing Arts is attempting to gauge how comfortable potential audience PERFORMANCE members will be in returning to performances in the coming months.

President/Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey McDermott said the response rate has been strong from the survey, which was sent to patrons. The Center has been closed since mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We want to gain peoples’ thoughts about what their concerns are,” he said. “When we open back up, it’s going to be a little different, just as different for restaurants and businesses. We want to control expectations. We think the opening should go pretty seamlessly.”

The staff is in the final stages of creating a document about reopening procedures and protocols.

“It sets up for the future in terms of trying to be able to pivot with each new change we encounter and be ready to take any upturns or downturns in what might come,” McDermott said.

Staff has been working remotely but will return July 6. Educational programming and some rental events will start first, McDermott said.

“Our resident companies will restart their programming first, so we’ll start to ramp back up,” he said. “It won’t be a full schedule right away. Our patrons and our resident companies’ patrons have to get acclimated to the new normal. Larger events will start a little later in the year.”

McDermott said the Center plans to learn from smaller programing.

“It will certainly be a somewhat abbreviated Center Presents (2020-21) season, but we will still come back strong,” he said. “I’m going to anticipate there is still going to be some social distancing involved. We are working on how seating will work within the venues as well.”

In other performing arts news, the Cool Creek Concert Series will not be held this summer at Westfield’s Cool Creek Park.

The Fishers Arts Council has transitioned to the virtual world as restrictions are still in place due to the ART COVID-19 pandemic. The organization hasn’t let the pandemic affect its offerings but is connecting artists in different ways.

“We have engaged the artists in what we call a Monday 2 Monday challenge, where we give them a set of two options like hot and cold or tranquil and energetic and have them submit art that represents that,” Fishers Arts Council President Tom Rich said. “There’s not a winner or anything, but it gives them an opportunity to keep art in front of everybody and, in some cases, sell some art.”

The Fishers Arts Council website has an online gallery with artwork that is usually displayed in Fishers City Hall.

CITY OF FISHERS FALL CREEK BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING VA-20-8 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the City of Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals at 6:00PM, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2020 in the Fishers City Hall building, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana.

For those interested in providing public comment, the City of Fishers has established an online form to submit your comment(s), which will be read during the meeting. This form can be found at www.fishers.in.us. Alternatively, written comments, e-mails, and/or questions about the project request may be provided to the department contact prior to the public hearing meeting.

REQUEST: At that hearing, the public will be invited to offer comments on the following request (“Proposal”): Consideration of a development standards variance from the Fishers Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Residential Accessory Structure Standards Section(s) 6.2.2.A Maximum Floor Area and 6.2.2.B Height.

LOCATION: The Proposal is located at 208 WEST DR, FORTVILLE, IN 46040, also known as PARCEL: 13-16-08-04-01-004.000.

The case file about this project is available for public review in the office of the Department of Planning and Zoning, located on the 2nd floor at Fishers City Hall. The meeting agenda with room location details and case related information will be posted on the City’s website forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting specified above.

Written objections filed with the secretary of the Board of Zoning Appeals before the hearing will be considered. If you would like your written comments to be provided to the Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals, you must submit them one (1) week prior to the hearing date noted above. Oral comments will be heard during the public hearing.

“We made a virtual gallery where every month there’s a new artist and their art will be online in a virtual gallery and we will have interviews with them,” Rich said.

Other actions the arts council has taken is establishing its ASSET: Artist Lecture Series, a four-part series to engage artists with what they do and how they get their work in front of gallery owners.

The next ASSET: Artist Lecture Series will be Inside the Gallery World June 25.

“We see the opportunity for engaging with the artists more now than we did before because we have their attention.

That’s really helped us a lot,” Rich said.

For in-person events, the Hamilton County Artists’ Association is scheduled for the July artists to be on display at Fishers City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr. In addition, the first-ever juried exhibit for artists in Fishers and Hamilton County will be in October at Fishers City Hall.

“There will be two judges who are not part of Hamilton County or Fishers but are well-known in the art world,” Rich said.

“We will have submissions by email and the judges will select down to about 50 pieces. Those 50 pieces will be submitted physically to us, and the judges will then select best of show and the top three. All of those 50 pieces will be hung in the art gallery and have a reception.”

In addition, Spark! Of Creativity will be June 27. Spark!Fishers was canceled this year.

Several virtual classes will be offered from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. June 27. Classes include drawing, painting, stoneware and acting. Materials are available for free or for a donation. For more, visit fishersartscouncil.org.

T N E V E L A U T VIR Tavern on South

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 423 W. South St., Indianapolis What to get: Blackened cod tacos Price: $10.50 Anna’s take: Tavern on South has an abbreviated menu as it gradually reopens because of the COVID-18 pandemic, but all the items I tried were still delicious. I started with the Chilled Shrimp Martini ($13), an elegant display of shrimp around a martini glass filled with cocktail sauce and horseradish pesto sauce. I sampled the Tavern salad ($9), a refreshing mix of field greens, candied asparagus, sweet and spicy wal-

nuts, cucumber, dried cherries, goat cheese and granny smith apple vinaigrette. My favorite item was the blackened cod tacos ($10.50) — three wheat tortillas with Cajun and Old Bay-seasoned cod, lettuce, chili aioli, white cheddar and smoked tomato salsa.

Suggested pairings: I loved sipping the Barrel-Aged Cherry Vanilla Manhattan ($11) while checking out the Indianapolis skyline.

Behind bars: Barrel-Aged Manhattan Get it at Tavern on South, Indianapolis Ingredients: 5 oz. pre-mixed, barrel-aged Manhattan mix, cherry, orange Directions: Shake with ice and garnish with a cherry and an orange.
