State launches testing network, moves to Stage 4

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com State officials have launched a statewide lab-testing network to increase the number of COVID-19 test swabs that PANDEMIC can be processed in Indiana each day.

The network is a result of a partnership with Eli Lilly and the Indiana Hospital Association.

Currently, the state has a limited amount of testing reagents and equipment available for individual labs. The Indiana State Dept. of Health laboratory and nine other private labs will form a lab-testing network, forging one entity that can purchase reagents and supplies in the international marketplace.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the network will allow the state to vie for national and international testing equipment by leveraging the state’s buying power. Box said the state will purchase approximately $60 million of bulk testing reagents and equipment, which the labs will buy from the state.

“This will allow the state to diversify its testing methods in case supplies of reagents for one particular agent are in short supply,” Box said during a June 10 virtual press briefing.

The state reported that it has ordered reagents that will allow labs to double their processing capacity each day, and it is planning to purchase new testing equipment later in August, in a second phase, to further increase lab capacity.

To date, the state has created 202 COVID-19 testing sites in 80 percent of Indiana’s 92 counties.

Stage 4 reopening On June 10, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced the state will move to Stage 4 of its reopening plan. Holcomb and Box said the four principles the state has used to track its ability to reopen have remained steady or shown improvement. The benchmarks are decreased COVID-19 hospitalizations, retained ICU bed and ventilator capacity, the ability to test anyone with COVID-19 symptoms and the ability to contact trace

all positive cases.

COVID-19 hospitalizations fell from 1,346 May 11 to 902 June 8. The number of daily COVID-19 hospitalizations also decreased from 85 May 8 to 44 June 1. ICU bed capacity has hovered between 37 and 42 percent, and ventilator capacity has remained steady at between 82 and 83 percent for more than two weeks. In addition, more than 650 contact tracers have been hired. But Box said counties such as LaGrange, which has seen a slight uptick in hospitalizations, should reopen with caution.

The state moved from Stage 1, which started March 24, to Stage 2 on May 4 and to Stage 3 on May 22. Holcomb said he is reluctant to predict whether the state will enter Stage 5 of the reopening plan before July 4, the initially scheduled date for the start of the fifth and final stage.

During Stage 5, social gatherings of up to 250 people will be allowed; restaurant dining rooms may open at 75 percent capacity; and bars and nightclubs may open at 50 percent capacity. Movie theaters and bowling centers can open at 50 percent capacity, along with amusement and water parks.

Community youth and adult recreational games, leagues and tournaments will be allowed to resume. But festivals, fairs, parades and carnivals won’t be permitted.

State officials underscored the importance of continued social distancing and sanitization efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“The data is what is guiding us,” Holcomb said. “We are not alone in this. And so when you look around the country, and you look at some states where the numbers are trending down in a very positive direction, like in the state of Indiana, other states that are trending up in the other direction, so you wonder what happened with the virus and how is it mutating, so there are too many factors to project (further) than four or five days.

“What I do think that this illustrates or underscores for me is we made the right decision early on to hit pause. We hit this hard at the outset, and we are in a better position today because of that.”

MVHS ranked as one of top high schools – The U.S. News and World Report recently ranked Mt. Vernon High School in the top tier of the national high school rankings.

MVHS was ranked No. 17 in the central region and #64 in Indiana. Schools are ranked based on performance on state-required tests, graduation rates and how well students are prepared for college.

The U.S. News and World Report ranked 17.790 high schools in the nation.

Arts for Lawrence brick campaign – Residents can support local arts by purchasing a brick for $100. The brick will be placed in Arts for Lawrence’s new Cultural Campus. Those who purchase the brick will receive three lines of text for commemoration and a miniature replica keepsake brick. To purchase a brick, call Arts for Lawrence at 317-875-1900.

Bicycle sale, donation day scheduled - A used bicycle sale and donation day will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 27 at the Recycled Cycles repair shop, 840 E. Main St., Westfield. The countywide initiative will sell more than 20 top-condition bikes at bargain prices, and proceeds will be used to purchase parts to repair other bikes. Last year, Recycled Cycles repaired and gave away more than 400 bicycles to deserving families who might not otherwise have afforded new bikes for Christmas. The group repairs child and adult bikes throughout the year under the sponsorship of Good Samaritan Network in Hamilton County. Donations of any used bike will be accepted. Parts of unrepairable bikes are salvaged to make other whole bikes. Donation receipts will be issued for any bike dropped off. All bikes will be inspected, repaired, lubricated and adjusted for safe use.

filling a need

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it has begun to affect COVER STORY events such as farmers markets. For people who live in food deserts, such as parts of Lawrence, the markets fill a need by selling fresh food - such as the Fort Ben Farmer’s Market 2020 Relief Market.

“This year was COVID-19, and so it was weird. The health department really wanted all the farmers markets in Marion County to be basically a grab-and-go situation where people are coming and getting what they need and leaving,” Market Master Mandy Wright-Jarrett said. “They don’t want it to be portrayed as an event.”

Farmers markets, however, are deemed essential businesses because of the options they provide for access to healthy food.

“My assistant bilingual coordinator (Damaris Iraheta) came up with the idea (to include ‘relief’ in the title), which it’s a wonderful idea to refer to the market as a relief market to make it very clear to ev-

eryone that the market is not to entertain but to serve a purpose to the community during these rough times,” Wright-Jarrett said. “It’s hard. People want to go to the market and bring their dogs and their kids and do all these fun things, but unfortunately, our duty right now is to serve the public and for people to come get their food and leave.”

This also is the first Fort Ben market in which Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are accepted.

“This is our first year for the market officially accepting SNAP benefits, so if people have food stamps, they are now referred to as SNAP,” Wright-Jarrett said.

“They can come and bring their card to the market and they can purchase food with the SNAP benefits. We also have a matching program, and we have had so much support from the Marion County Health Dept. IU Health has made a big donation for a matching program for markets throughout Marion County to encourage people to buy fresh produce, so people are not only buying fresh produce, which is great and encouraging healthy eating and access to healthy foods, but

Fort Ben Farmers Market offers fresh options in the middle of a food desert

on the flip side, people are spending SNAP at the market and using the matching program to support our local growers. It’s supporting everyone. It comes full circle.

“A lot of times I don’t think people realize how important these programs are.

They are not only helping people who may be in need right now, but these growers are putting in enormous amounts of effort.”

The market runs from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursdays at 9230 Memorial Park Dr., Lawrence.

It will continue through Oct. 1.

“Shopping in an open-air market is one of the safest ways right now to shop for food, especially for people who are high risk or elderly,” Wright-Jarrett said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to shop in a really safe way for food that they need to be healthy.”

Pets are not permitted, and organizers recommend that only one member from the same family visit the market. For more, visit facebook.com/ FortBenFarmersMarket/.

“They can come and bring their card to the market and they can purchase food with the SNAP benefits. We also have a matching program, and we have had so much support from the Marion County Health Dept.”

SUPPORTING LOCAL FOOD GROWERS Market Master Mandy Wright-Jarrett said she would like to see a community shift to support local food growers.

“Lawrence is a food desert, and that makes it that much more important to have access to these farmers and support them in this location for people who can’t get to a grocery store, or they

have to take two buses to get to a grocery,” Wright-Jarrett said. “Many people are (within) walking distance from (the market) location (9230 Memorial Park Dr., Lawrence) and they can use that as an essential place for food shopping in this season.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Handy excuses

Support, don’t ridicule, during crisis

Commentary by Terry Anker We all have our shortcomings. Perhaps our third-grade teacher inadvertently led us to believe that we weren’t very good at coloring, and it stuck. Now, we break out in a cold sweat each time we are in one of those restaurants that have placemats designed to be filled in as we await the service of our food. Any children along at the table will be given crayons and urge us to participate.

Maybe our limitations are biological.

We couldn’t tell the size of a parallel parking spot without the assistance of thousands of dollars of sensor gear installed in our automobiles. Expensively, we misjudge the distance from the front of our car to the garage wall.

Whatever the origination, we learn to know and understand the bounds of what we can be expected to accomplish.

Good. Over-commitment leads to stress in us and disappointment in others.

Now, as all manner of plague seems to have descended on us, we have more debilitations and handicaps in completing our routines than ever in recent memory. Streets are closed. Curfews and other government orders capture us in home detention. Even spring storms seem to urge us to hit the snooze button in the morning and pull the covers over our heads. What could we hope to accomplish, anyway?

Having taken to online delivery and routine carryout, we have learned that some of us are able to adjust more handily than others. Many purveyors have stock delivered days before expected while some delay for weeks, then abruptly cancel. Most “help” desks now keep customers at bay for hours on end — all the while repeatedly lecturing us on their commitment to our health and popular social causes. What about customer service? Why do some overcome our legitimate challenges and others seem prone to hide behind any handy excuse?

Favoring my friendly flora family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It recently occurred to me that I might care more for my plants than I do my children. That sounds terrible and, HUMOR of course, it’s an exaggeration, but I’ve noticed that in the summer I much prefer weeding, watering and dead-heading my garden to cooking, cleaning and managing my offspring. What gives?

I think the main reason is that even though my kids are old enough to take care of themselves, they aren’t to the point where they can completely adult (verb), so there’s this weird dynamic happening in our house where I still want to enforce chores and curfews and they perpetually want to give me the finger.

Snapdragons and squash are far nicer to live with. They don’t roll their eyes or leave their cereal bowls on the coffee table. They don’t listen to “The Office” at high volume or constantly “borrow” cash for gas (like I’ll

ever see that money again). Sure, a tomato plant can’t tell me it loves me, but when it blossoms and a tiny green orb begins to grow, it’s basically the same thing.

I’ve also noticed that my garden floras are far better listeners than my precious little angels. Not once has a zinnia interrupted or a foxglove texted while I shared my innermost thoughts and concerns. And I’ve never experienced moments of awkward silence with my ferns or begonias. They seem happy just to have me near, gently pruning and fertilizing, unlike my heirs who flee as soon as I try to engage because they think I’m going to lecture them on laundry etiquette. Which I probably am.

That’s why I prefer my plants!

Peace out.

Editor, I have been on this planet for three quarters of a century. During this time, I have survived multiple heart attacks and three open-heart surgeries. Now, I begin each day buoyed by my faith and with a strong belief in the collective power of the American spirit.

Regardless of one’s political bent, it is time to believe in that spirit – the spirit that has served our country through wars, segregation, economic missteps, 9/11 and, of course, the most unimaginable ravage caused by disease, the pandemic of 2020.

As Americans, we have always had each other’s backs in these difficult times. Counting on our neighbors, friends and even strangers when faced with the most difficult of these challenges, Americans show their collective strengths and bravery in overcoming the most serious circumstances.

Today, we must keep our politics completely to ourselves. Believing in the country and upon the principles of our foundation are critical to our future.

It is time to support all of our elected representatives and for them to work together.

Northwest Radiology opens Fishers imaging center

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

BE COOL!

Northwest Radiology Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer Linda Wilgus was eager to bring an outpatient imaging MEDICAL center to the growing city of Fishers and its surrounding areas.

“We’re excited to bring high-quality imaging services to the community,” Wilgus said of the center, which opened May 26.

The center, 14300 E. 138th St., Building B, Suite C, offers computed tomography, or CT, and magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. The entrance to the suite is at the east end of Med Tech Park, next to Central Indiana Orthopedics and Urology of Indiana.

For several years, Northwest Radiology has had two Carmel centers at 10603 N. Meridian St. and 12188-A N. Meridian St., Suite 100. Fishers will be the third center. Another will be added in Greenwood in the fall.

Wilgus said Northwest Radiology has a transparent pricing system with no hidden

fees.

“We have a flat-rate pricing for imaging studies that you would need to have done,” Wilgus said. “How the pricing structure works is you have a do-not-exceed price. It could be less than that price depending on the contract I have with your insurance company, but we can guarantee you it will not exceed the price on our website.

The Fishers outpatient imaging center is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Physicians and patients have access to images and results through an online portal.

Keep cool (and safe) in the pool Commentary by Cindy Love Pools are a wonderful way to cool off and have fun during the summer. However, the Centers for Disease CHILDREN Control and Prevention reports that drowning is the leading cause of death for children between age 1 and 4.

The revised guidelines allow for one visitor per patient, per day in inpatient areas. Each visitor will be screened and given a mask, which must be worn at all times inside the facility. Visitors must be 18 or older and will not be allowed for patients who have tested positive for COVID-19. Visitors in emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient clinics and medical offices will be facilitated on a case-by-case basis depending on space and ability to maintain social distancing measures.

IU Health has taken additional steps to ensure safety for patients, visitors and team members at each location. Providers and patient-facing team members always wear masks where patient care is provided. Patients and visitors will also be required to wear masks,

Carmel Film Forum will feature Stop Motion Animation presentation

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The fourth Carmel Film Forum will not only tackle a new subject but also a new format.

FILMMAKING Professional animator Lisa Barcy will be the featured presenter at the Stop Motion Animation Celebration webinar.

“She has a wonderful body of work,” said James E. Moriarty, founder of the event and Moriarty Media.

Barcy “She was going to do a hands-on workshop with us at the library, but because of COVID-19, it became virtual.”

The Carmel resident said the Film Forum was restructured so Barcy, from Chicago, can lead a free virtual webinar from 2 to 4 p.m. June 20 and 27. It will consist of two sessions, co-hosted by Moriarty Media and Carmel Clay Public Library’s Audiovisual Services Supervisor Sara O’Sha. Barcy will teach animation techniques employing drawing, paper cut-outs and 3-D objects at the first session.

“The Film Forum is all about getting your hands dirty and doing things,” Moriarty said. “We’re basically going to teach how to make animation from your cellphone.

This class is for beginners for Stop Motion and would be good for the animation-curious people in your life. You don’t know how to do all these techniques. We’re going to train from the get-go. We’ll teach drawing techniques.”

Participants will be encouraged to make an animated clip, using the techniques demonstrated, and upload the clips by June 25 to be judged. The winner will receive a license to a copy of the Dragonframe professional stop motion animation software, a $300 value.

“You don’t need to have sound. It doesn’t need to be fancy,” Moriarty said.

“You just have to apply things you’ve learned in the class.”

Barcy will announce the winner at the

June 27 session. All animated clips will have been edited into a musical montage for screening. The entire winning clip will be shown.

There will be a clip of Barcy’s work and a Q&A session with Barcy will follow.

“It’s nice to learn how people do things who can collaborate with you and you can learn from their process and how they’ve built up their body of work over the years,” Moriarty said. “Lisa has got a great sense of humor and I think people will really be attracted to it.”

Previous forum topics have included screenwriting, preproduction and the business of filmmaking.

“All of our forums have applied application to it and something interactive or hands-on about them,” Moriarty said.

“We’ve got through creating a film, writing and producing it, and we’ve come back around to we wanted to do something even younger people can participate in, so

we did animation. Next year we will probably do documentary. We find someone in the community to share their body of work and experiences.”

Participants can register at carmelclaylibrary.org/event/4314576. Moriarty said a CCPL card isn’t required. A webinar link will be emailed to the participant, along with a program/curriculum and a list of tools, software and supplies needed for the workshop. Seats for the webinar are free but limited.

“With the library and its help, these things can grow their circle of influence to get people to see filmmaking as an art form,” Moriarty said. “The tools are at your fingertips. All you need is a phone and an app.”

The Carmel Film Forum is sponsored by CCPL, the City of Carmel, Moriarty Media and the Indy Film Fest.

Barcy’s animation can be viewed at vimeo.com/418560545.

The time is now to engage Commentary from Jeffrey C. McDermott The crux of being a good person, a great community and a great nation is a sense of empathy and duty to PALLADIUM protect and lift up those in harm’s way. Recent events and nationwide protests demonstrate that COVID-19 is not the only “pandemic” we face. Systemic racism and injustice is an insidious virus that good people must work to eradicate.

The Center for the Performing Arts’ mission is to engage and inspire the central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. We are part of the fabric and spirit of this community and have a responsibility to take action and be part of the solution.

To that end, we are recommitting ourselves to our core values of Excellence, Integrity, Collaboration, Innovation and, in particular, Inclusion. As first steps, we will implement diversity training for our staff and volunteers and redouble our efforts to engage a broader audience that reflects all of central Indiana.

Where Form Beautifully Meets Function Elevate your outdoor living spaces with CASE Design/Remodeling and Trex® Composite Decking.

Our team will guide you every step of the way, from planning, design, and material selection to construction. The hassle-free maintenance of Trex Composite Decking means more time for you to enjoy your beautiful outdoor space.

Music can be a catalyst for change. It represents a peaceful way to speak up, to speak out and to heal. It knows no geographic, socioeconomic or racial boundaries.

Since the dawn of humanity, music has told stories of strife and triumph, loss and love.

We at the Center recognize our unique position to participate in the storytelling and the healing, and we will do so.

While no single one of us can rectify the inequality and discrimination embedded in our culture, we can and must act now, make positive differences, protect and lift people up, and keep our eyes and ears wide open. An inspiring quotation often attributed to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states, “If I cannot do great things, I can still do small things in a great way.”

The time is now for each of us to do just that.

Jeffrey C. McDermott, the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation, is an occasional columnist. He can be reached as JMcDermott@ TheCenterPresents.org.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14029 Mundy Dr., Fishers What to get: Lamb chops Price: $7.99 a pound Anna’s take: Some people may still be a bit nervous about venturing out to restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the good thing is, they can venture to Almadina International Halal Foods, a small grocery in northern Fishers, and purchase items to make an excellent meal at home. Almadina let me sample lamb chops, lamb shank, several fresh pastries and kufta, which is a ground mix of cilantro, onion, spices and lamb. My favorite was the lamb chops.

Almadina sources its lamb from a farm in North Vernon, so it’s very fresh. It also has an excellent price point at $7.99 a pound,

Lamb chops with rosemary from Almadina International Halal Foods. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

which is much more affordable than many other local spots. I browned the chops in a pan, then roasted them in the oven with rosemary, lemon, garlic and olive oil, and it was so rich and delicious. For someone who rarely cooks, using the high-quality meat from Almadina and an easy-to-follow recipe, I was able to cook something fit for an Easter dinner.

Suggested pairings: I grabbed a cabernet sauvignon from the grocery, but I think any dry red would pair well with lamb.

Behind bars: Golden Hour (banana daiquiri) Get it at Field Brewing, Westfield Ingredients: 2 oz. amber rum, .75 oz. fresh lime juice, .5 oz. banana sugar, .25 oz. banana liqueur, lemon wheel and lime peel for garnish Directions: Shake all ingredients for 30 seconds and double-strain through conical strainer into coupe.

Garnish with a thinly sliced lime wheel to float and lime peel expressed over drink and rubbed on rim. To make the banana sugar, use 1 bunch of ripe bananas with 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups hot water and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blueprint for Improvement: Elevated screened porch in Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The upper-level deck, located off the kitchen, was removed and replaced with a custom screened porch. New footers were installed in the ground to accommodate the addition.

2. The porch was designed to blend seamlessly with the existing home. Considerations were made when planning the roofline and, of course, in selecting materials to complement what was already there.

3. Aluminum balusters were added to the screened porch to provide an attractive safety feature.

4. The ceiling beams were painted in a contrasting color to accentuate the design detail.

THE CHALLENGE Located a few steps from Geist Reservoir, the owners of this 1995 home wanted to create additional living space for enjoying the outdoors. The home had plenty of open deck space along the back of the house, so the homeowners wanted to add an elevated screened-in area for dining and relaxing.
