It’s going to be a time of tragedy locally and in the U.S., but not as bad as what was being predicted a week ago.”

Brainard said widespread testing to determine who has COVID-19 and who may have unknowingly had it and recovered will help officials determine the best course of action for lifting restrictions.

Still, Brainard said officials need to act cautiously.

“There’s a lot we don’t know yet,” he said.

“We want to be the training grounds, saying, ‘Here’s the template. Here’s how you can do it in your city,’” Khan said.

ISDH officials said every state has experienced challenges obtaining testing supplies and that it has been working to expand testing in Indiana through partnerships with Eli Lilly and other labs.

Khan said Aria has plenty of supplies to keep producing tests in the short-term, but he is working with a San Diego-based company to produce testing swabs on a 3-D printer in case there is a shortage.

“We’ll drive American ingenuity to meet demands in this storm we’re in,” he said.

Khan expects testing to ramp up as local, state and national officials determine how to reopen the economy, especially if it is to happen as soon as May 1, as some have suggested.

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.

Cooley’s academy moved to its site at

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.

OBITUARY

Martha (“Marti”) Olsen Louk, age 74, of Carmel, Indiana went peacefully to be with Jesus on April 11, 2020, just in time to join God’s Heavenly Choir for Easter (singing harmony, of course). Marti was born and raised in Decatur, Illinois where she and her future husband were set up on a blind date by their parents, met, and fell in love. John and Marti married in 1966 and spent the next few years making several places home, courtesy of the Navy. Of all the places they called home, Charleston, South Carolina was her favorite.

Shortly after their stint in Charleston, Marti and John were blessed to become parents.

Jennifer was the first - born in Decatur, IL followed by Greg and Eric – both born in San Diego, CA. Marti was a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother who brought joy to everyone around her, lighting up rooms with a simple smile. She loved sunshine and warmth, Peanut M&Ms, reading romance novels, and listening to a wide variety of music from Mannheim Steamroller to Barry Manilow to a little Ringo Starr. Marti was endlessly creative in the kitchen (making the 1st birthday cakes for each of her grandchildren) and with her sewing abilities. While she dabbled in redwork and

embroidery, her true passion was quilting, and it showed. Her quilts have been published in books and magazines, and each of her grandchildren has been blessed with a “Grannah Original” to hold dear. Cornerstone Lutheran Church in Carmel continues to display banners, paraments, and wall hangings she made with incredible detail and love.

Marti loved Jesus and she loved her family. She was the oldest of three children and raised three of her own – Jennifer, Greg, and Eric – during her 53-year marriage to John. Together, John and Marti will always be a true testament of living and loving unconditionally, which is visibly reflected in the lives of their children and their families.

Marti is survived by her husband John, brother Chris (Debbie) Olsen, sister Jane (Lynn) Black, daughter Jennifer (Travis) Cummings and their three children, son Greg (Sally) Louk and their four children, and son Eric (Kathaleen) Louk and their child. She is predeceased by her parents, William L. Olsen, Jr. and Harriet Bolz Olsen of Decatur, IL.

HOW TO HELP CCS continues to use funds already budgeted to purchase food for the weekday breakfast and lunch distribution, but food donations are welcome at the Merciful HELP Center. The nonprofit also is accepting donations of toiletries, cleaning supplies and paper products.

Donations may be taken to the door on the south side of the building at 1045 W. 146th St. between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.

Volunteers also are needed to sort donations, deliver food and make phone calls to check in on people and cheer them up. Sign up as a volunteer or learn more about donations at mercifulhelpcenter.org or by calling 317-663-4039, ext. 6.

The Carmel Youth Assistance Program is requesting monetary donations to help it prepare for the summer meals program. Donations may be made at youthassistance.org/carmel-donation or by sending a check to 515 E. Main St., Suite 127, Carmel, IN 46032. CYAP may begin requesting food donations at a later date.

Organizations partner to ensure kids don’t go hungry during school closures

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Schools are closed through the end of the school year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but several local organizations are partnering to make sure COVER STORY students who rely on school meals don’t go hungry.

Carmel Clay Schools, with the help of the Merciful HELP Center and Carmel Youth Assistance Program, is providing five-days’ worth of food for breakfast and lunch every week for students who need it. The food is distributed by school employees and volunteers in face masks each Wednesday through a drive-up line at Carmel High School.

CHS alerted families eligible to receive free and reduced lunch about the program, but the district won’t turn away anyone who needs help.

“There really isn’t a criteria, except that there’s a need,” said Jennifer McFarland, CCS director of food and nutrition services.

A limited number of CCS kitchen employees work Mondays and Tuesdays to prepare the meals, which are distributed Wednesdays by Merciful HELP volunteers and CCS employees, including Supt. Michael McFarland Beresford.

CCS and its partners scrambled to create the program in days when it became clear schools would be shut down.

McFarland said she turned to Avon schools for guidance because it was the first district to close because of the pandemic after a student there tested positive for COVID-19 in early March.

“They were a huge resource for us on getting started,” McFarland said. “There were also a lot of late-night emails and phone calls to food service directors all over the state.”

During the first week of school closures, McFarland said CCS provided meals for 578 students. The total jumped to 651 the following week. Merciful HELP Center provided meals for eight days during spring break. Executive Director Jayne Slaton said the center typically feeds 150 to 200 students during spring break, but this year the number spiked to 686 students.

McFarland said CCS will be ready if the numbers continue to climb as the pandemSlaton ic drags on and more families face unemployment and other hardships.

The Merciful HELP Center also provides breakfasts and lunches on weekends through its Back Sacks program, normally distributed on Fridays at school. Slaton said her organization is working to provide other types of help as well.

“It’s our goal that (families) feel very secure,” Slaton said. “I’m working hard to make sure there’s information in the sack that tells them how to get financial aid if they’re struggling.”

Several local religious congregations partnered with CYAP to include a $25 Meijer gift card in the April 15 food distribution bags.

“We’re thinking this would help with personal products and all of the things that are not covered by food stamps,” Slaton said.

CYAP played more of an advisory role in setting up the school lunch program, but it’s already preparing for its annual summer meal program, which is expected to be in higher demand than ever because of the pandemic.

“It’s OK to need help. We’re here for you. We’re not going to close.

We’re going to keep our doors open, and we will give you everything we have.”

— Jayne Slaton, Merciful HELP Center executive director

At the same time, CYAP is anticipating a funding shortfall because its annual fundraising gala — initially set for April 25 — is another casualty of the pandemic. Spring semester school food drives also have been canceled.

“Those are our two main sources (of donations),” said Maggie Figge, CYAP executive director. “Coupled with the fact we think we’re going to double our numbers and our two main sources of funding and support are not happening, we could really use some help.”

CYAP is partnering with Young Life/Wyld Figge Life to provide a Project Gift of Art bag for each family receiving weekly meals at CHS. The bag includes crayons, colored pencils, construction paper, scissors and other items along with some activity ideas.

“We don’t want any child to miss out on all the fun ways to creatively express themselves during this time or not be included in many of the fun online activities that educators are posting about,” Figge said.

CYAP also has extended its services to provide more financial assistance than usual to help cover bills, rent and internet so students can participate in eLearning.

Merciful HELP Center will help ensure families who can’t make it to the weekly pick-up still receive food. The nonprofit, which is affiliated with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, is still working to feed hungry residents beyond CCS, too.

“It’s OK to need help,” Slaton said. “We’re here for you.

We’re not going to close. We’re going to keep our doors open, and we will give you everything we have.”

HOW TO SIGN UP Parents can sign up for food distribution on Mondays at forms.gle/McM1ro1wcwjDuToe8. The food will be distributed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays through May 20 near Door 9 at Carmel High School, 520 E. Main St. Families must stay in their vehicles as food is loaded by volunteers or Carmel Clay Schools staff.

ESSAY

LETTER

How much is too much?

Engage in climate action on Earth Day

Commentary by Terry Anker “Let’s not throw it away, it might come in handy later.” One can hardly argue the veracity of the truism. We are rarely effective predictors of the future.

What might become valuable, exceedingly valuable, down the road a bit is impossible to know. Many of us imagined the few rolls of Charmin under the sink would last until our next run to the grocery. In a world of shortages, panic and supply chain interruptions, our stockpile of Taco Bell napkins was an unattractive, if effective, backup plan.

So, what is it that separates us from the hoarding masses, swimming in their stashes, certain to last long beyond their remaining years on this big, blue planet? Cleaning out the ubiquitous kitchen junk drawer during our recent self-isolation, the effort produced a surprising, if not imposing, count of ink pens. They represented all sort and manner of life milestones — bank pens, hospital pens, the pens of various organizations, hotel pens and an abundance of those lost to the failing memory of history. Sure, they tell a story, but don’t they also point to our need to hang on to objects long after their effective purpose is extinguished? The cumulative collection of pens held more ink than an average human could use in one lifetime, or two.

One could rightly suppose that the pens will pass to heirs, if such a thing as an ink pen is still useful to them. Even now, are the instruments much more than an amusing novelty, nostalgic for the way we used to communicate? Our lives are burdened with countless examples of our reservation of goods for a “rainy day” – not thinking that we’ve stored enough to outlast Noah’s flood. Having a spare or two gives comfort, but what is the point of holding three lifetime supplies?

Seeing red with lockdown blues Commentary by Danielle Wilson So, how is everybody? Are you hanging in there? Enjoying some downtime? Seizing the day? Personally, I’m losing HUMOR my mind and am not really sure how much longer I can take it. I came close to snapping the other day in Meijer, where the once-again empty aisle of paper products reminded me we’re living in Bizarro World. Luckily, I managed to pull it together before getting to produce, but clearly I’m only one “We’re out of eggs, too” announcement from a full-on breakdown.

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened yet. I mean, teaching online from home is horrible. I miss my students and my karaoke-singing colleagues, not to mention the simple routine of waking up and putting on eye makeup. And trying to manage four older kids who don’t have jobs, can’t see their friends and are supposed to be nice is nearly impossible, as is ignoring the sheer amount of mess and noise they create. Plus,

my husband, Doo, an extrovert, is constantly wanting to talk to me and sit next to me and generally engage with me when all I want to do is read “Harry Potter” or bingewatch “Community.” Alone.

Even the house project I started is conspiring to drive me mad. While applying a third coat of white paint to our hideous orange pine banister, I realized that the second can is slightly grayer than the first, making the railings appear perpetually dirty.

Why? They are the same!

Maybe I just need to get on with it. I think I’ll head to Meijer for some toilet paper and a good cry.

Hopefully, you’re doing better than me.

Peace out.

Maybe I just need to get on with it. I think I’ll head to Meijer for some toilet paper and a good cry.

Editor, As Earth Day 2020 comes to pass (on April 22), it will mark the 50th year of this celebration of our planet. This means 50 years of inaction. Fifty years that the world has collectively let the climate deteriorate. Fifty years of fossil fuel companies knowingly contaminating our water, air and land.

Today, homes are swept away in unprecedented floods. Droughts bring crop destruction and fires that destroy communities. Indigenous people, those who have managed to live in harmony with nature for thousands of years, are continuously ignored, exploited and slaughtered. Cities suffocate under air pollution that renders even going outside dangerous.

However, we see no real action from our government. This Earth Day, and every day, we must push for real action on climate change, something that even the pope has deemed a moral issue.

Call your elected officials; join a digital climate strike; campaign for climate action.

Ethan Stoehr, Carmel High School student

Dr. Sarah Dilley wants to make a difference.

Dilley, who recovered from COVID-19, became the first Indiana resCOVID-19 ident to donate antibody-rich plasma to help seriously ill coronavirus patients.

Dilley, 35, donated her plasma April 9 at Versiti Blood Centers’ downtown Indianapolis site.

“I think I got it from my husband who works in the film industry. He was working on a TV show, and I think he might have brought it from Chicago,” said Dilley, a gynecologic oncologist at Community Health Network. “He wasn’t tested because he doesn’t work in the health care industry, so it’s hard to get tested. He had a high fever and couldn’t get off the couch for four days.

He had a cough and shortness of breath. I didn’t have any of those symptoms.

“I had a low-grade fever and bad fatigue.

I was sore.”

Dilley said the plasma procedure took a little less than an hour.

cine Dr. Dan Waxman said the donors cannot have signs of fever and cough for 28 days, or if symptom-free for 14 to 27 days, they must provide results of a negative test.

“What has been found is that people that have recovered from COVID-19 have developed antibodies to it,” Waxman said.

Versiti has launched a new website at versiti.org/covid19plasma for recovered COVID-19 patients to register to become convalescent plasma donors. In addition, Versiti launched a special hotline, 1-866-702-HOPE. (866-702-4673), to assist Indiana residents who have recovered from the virus to apply to donate.

McFarling Foods donates meals from Kopper Kettle Inn Restaurant to the Carmel Fire Dept.

Food Drop Friday benefits CFD

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With the social distancing and stay-athome orders upending much of the restaurant business, a local food NONPROFIT distributor wants to help.

“What do we do well?

We feed people,” said Jason Acquisto, marketing manager of McFarling Foods. “People are working 12-hour shifts in emergency rooms taking care of folks, so let’s take care of them and take them some food.”

Thus, Food Drop Friday was born. Since April 3, Indianapolis-based McFarling Foods has delivered meals — with enough to take home to families — each Friday to workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

McFarling Foods pays for the food, and their restaurant partners use their expertise to prepare it.

IU Health North in Carmel received the first donation from Rachel’s Hi-Way Café in Alexandria. The following week, members of the Carmel Fire Dept. received meals from Morristown’s Kopper Kettle Inn Restaurant.

On April 17, the food drop took place at the Lawrence Police Dept., where officers enjoyed offerings from Fort Ben Pub. Acquisto, a Fishers resident, doesn’t know where donations will be after that, but he wants to keep the program going as long as he can.

“Part of the excitement is putting this together as we go along,” he said.

PATTERN marks 10th year with new initiative

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Polina Osherov co-founded PATTERN with an eye on the fashion industry. Her vision keeps expanding as the NONPROFIT nonprofit celebrates its 10th anniversary.

“Originally, it was very much focused on the fashion industry, and over the last five or six years it evolved to be more broad to include the entire creative class, not just fashion designers, but photographers, models, graphic designers, content creators, videographers, illustrators and folks like that,” said the Carmel resident, PATTERN’s executive director. “The key thing is we’ve built a pretty incredible place for fashion lovers and creatives in the city.”

Fittingly, Osherov founded StitchWorks, an industrial sewing certificate program, with the help of a recent $30,000 grant from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation. A StitchWorks open house scheduled for March 19 had to be canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

StitchWorks has been pressed into action with the need for medical supplies.

Eskanazi Hospital commissioned StitchWorks to create isolation gowns, with a goal of producing 2,500. Approximately 1,000 have been completed as of April 13.

Some of the masks are being donated, while others are available for purchase.

The sewers who are making masks are volunteers, while those making gowns are being paid. StitchWorks is looking for more sewers. For more information, visit stitchworksindy.com/covid-19.

“StitchWorks was created in response to the ever-changing retail environment, which favors small designers and retailers less and less, thanks to offshoring and its byproduct, fast fashion,” Osherov said.

“Not only has the fast-fashion movement been detrimental to the environment, but it has also meant a decrease in people with the skills to sew. The movement of apparel production overseas has meant national job losses and the impending death of the craft. Small, local designers are affected most by the fast-fashion movement.”

CIAF plans Art Heals Project

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The nonprofit produces PATTERN magazine twice a year.

“The magazine is not there to sell fashion but to tell stories of our creative community, but with a fashion aesthetic,” Osherov said. “It looks like a fashion magazine because we have a lot of beautiful fashion photography. You’re not going to find a lot of stuff like, ‘Go buy this or wear that.’ The magazine is a small part of what we do.”

Osherov said PATTERN has mentored more than 75 college students as part of its internship and mentoring programs.

There is a fellowship program between college and a first job where graduates can gain more experience.

“They get very hands-on with all of these things,” she said. “A lot of time it’s

sink or swim.”

Within the past decade, PATTERN has organized more than 90 events, including annual programs like St’Artup 317 and the SUPPLY trade show, which is tentatively set for Aug. 15.

“St’Artup 317 is an initiative we have with Indy Chamber. It’s part of the City of Indianapolis’ retail strategy of trying to fill up all of those empty storefronts we have around town,” Osherov said. “The challenge is that overall retail is not doing that great. What we do have is a lot of small business owners and artists who love the opportunity to show their work.”

St’Artup 317 is traditionally in May but is subject to change because of the pandemic.

Carmel International Arts Festival is doing its part to provide a pleasant distraction during the coronavirus GIVING BACK pandemic.

CIAF plans a quarantine artwork show, “The Art Heals Project,” which is open to all ages.

“It’s something I had thought about. Our social media person had posted something about how art Ferry heals and that made me think about how the Carmel International Arts Festival could do something during the pandemic to help people cope with what is happening,” CIAF Executive Director Rachel Ferry said.

She shared the idea of a quarantine art show with the CIAF’s executive officers.

“We thought it would be a good idea to provide a place where people can display their artwork they create during the pandemic,” Ferry said. “We’re going to challenge people to pick up a paint brush, or a sketch pencil or camera, and create because we know art can help heal people’s feelings. We just feel this a great avenue to do that.”

Ferry said there will be a special tent to display the artwork during the festival, set for Sept. 26-27. The artwork should be delivered to the project booth between 6 and 9 p.m. Sept. 25. Individuals must provide an easel or means to hang or display art.

“People who attend the festival will have a chance to go look at it,” Ferry said. “We’re not looking for professional artists, but anyone is welcome to do it. This artwork will not be for sale during the festival. We don’t want to take away from what our artists are providing that weekend. The names are going to be on the back of the artwork.

We’re encouraging paintings, etchings, drawings, photography, whatever someone is creating during the time.”

During Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order, entrants should take a picture with their artwork and post on social media with the hashtag of #ArtHealsProject.

CARRYOUT EDITION From left, Thai coconut shrimp soup, edamame and Green Flash Sushi Roll. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2295 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville What to get: Green Flash Sushi Roll Price: $14.95 Anna’s take: I’m a big fan of sushi and other Asian dishes, so I have frequented Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen several

times during the pandemic. It has a convenient drive-thru window. I am a big fan of the small Thai shrimp coconut soup ($4.95).

It also comes in a chicken option. Edamame ($3.95) is always a staple for me. It’s just as delicious eaten from a carryout container.

The last time I visited Kobayashi, I tried the Green Flash Sushi Roll. If you don’t like sushi, Kobayashi has lots of other Asian dishes. But if you are a sushi fan, I suggest the Green Flash roll. It has cooked shrimp, avocado, cilantro, scallops and teriyaki sauce and is torched.

DISPATCHES Great American Songbook Foundation hosts chat — The Great American Songbook Foundation recently hosted a Zoom chat for more than 30 2019 Songbook Academy alums, so that staff members and founder Michael Feinstein could offer support and create an outlet for much-needed social engagement during the isolating time for young artists due to the coronavirus pandemic. Songbook Academy, a program of the Great American Songbook Foundation, is a national music intensive conducted every summer at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The impact lasts much longer than one week as alumni, staff and mentors stay connected year-round. Especially now, the connections and friendships made possible by the program continue to inspire and create a sense of belonging, according to Songbook Foundation officials. Songbook Academy alums also are taking part in the Instagram challenge #SongbookMyWay by submitting covers of Songbook standards.

Indiana Humanities hosts premieres on Facebook — The nonprofit cultural organization Indiana Humanities is showcasing its new INseparable Films series, commissioned by Indiana filmmakers to explore the Hoosier experience along urban, suburban and rural divides.

After each Facebook premiere, the films will be available for streaming on INseparableFilms. org. Weekly Facebook premiere parties will feature Q&As, further insight into the films’ characters, discussion of the films’ ideas and more. Upcoming Facebook premieres are: 7 p.m. April 21, “The Earthkeepers” (Bloomington), and 7 p.m. April 28, “Raised in Contrast” (Lebanon).

Blueprint for Improvement: 2nd-Story makeover in Meridian-Kessler Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• The second story was completely removed. In its place is a new master suite (bedroom/ bath and closet), laundry room and guest bedroom/bath.

• The square footage of the second story was doubled!

• The former back patio was transformed into a spacious screened-in porch.

• A new concreate patio – complete with fire pit – extends from the home to provide a wealth of space for entertaining.

• The entire home was given a fresh coat of paint and new landscaping to top off a truly stunning transformation.

THE CHALLENGE This 1927 home in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood offered a lot of charm, but, like many homes in the area, lacked living space. The second floor originally had a small guest bedroom and bathroom, flanked by unfinished attic space.

The homeowners wanted to increase their square footage by completely reworking the second floor.
