City COVID-19 task force meets

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Reconnecting Carmel Task Force held its inaugural meeting May 5 to discuss how different businesses and PANDEMIC organizations in the city can best follow Gov. Eric Holcomb’s five-stage plan for lifting COVID-19 restrictions.

The following covers some of the topics considered by the task force.

Another test site coming Christian Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Dept., said the county will soon open one of the state’s 50 new COVID-19 test sites recently announced by Holcomb. Walker said he expects the site to open on or around May 14 at a location near U.S. 31 and Ind. 32.

Only people who are symptomatic for COVID-19 will be eligible for testing at the site.

Walker said the site should be able to conduct more than 130 tests per day.

Midtown, Monon update The city may consider reopening Midtown Plaza and the portion of the Monon Greenway between Main Street and Gradle Drive, but not until signs and messaging are in place to remind people to wear masks and practice physical distancing. The city closed these areas after hundreds of people failed to practice physical distancing on one of the first beautiful weather days during the stay-at-home order, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said.

Nancy Heck, the City of Carmel’s director of community relations and economic development, said her team is working on a campaign

to encourage people to wear face coverings.

She said she expects movie showings and live music at Midtown Plaza and the monthly Meet Me on Main to be some of the first city events to return — possibly even this month.

Setting the stage Jeff McDermott, president and CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts, said his organization will be “at the back end of reopening” as restrictions are lifted.

CPAC programming is suspended at least through June 30. McDermott expects the facilities to reopen with smaller performances first, with groups that would typically perform in the Studio Theatre, the smallest CPAC venue, moving into the larger Tarkington and performances normally in the Tarkington moving to the larger Palladium.

“We’re going to be fairly conservative,” McDermott said. “We realize we can be a hotspot if we’re not careful because of the numbers of people that come through our venues.”

Churches differ on reopening Representatives from three churches shared their plans for reopening. Pastor Steve Poe of Northview Church and Kevin Sweeney of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church said services will remain virtual for the foreseeable future. Neither congregation has selected a date to resume in-person worship.

Luther Brunette of Cornerstone Lutheran Church said the church will resume in-person services this weekend, the first Sunday churches are permitted to reopen under Holcomb’s plan. Brunette said household groups will be at least 9 feet apart, masks will be required and those older than 65 years old will be asked to stay home.

OBITUARY Eleanor “Ellie” Genevieve (McKnight) Lang, 86, of Carmel, went Home to rest with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday morning, May 2, 2020.

Ellie was born January 22, 1934, in Indianapolis, to the late W. Harold and Edna (Howell) McKnight and was raised in Bedford.

Ellie was a co-founder of Pink Ribbon Connection, an organization committed to providing emotional support and resources to those with breast cancer. She held many offices in Psi Iota Xi, working alongside dear friends raising money for those with speech and hearing difficulties.

She was happiest making memories with family and friends.

Ellie was preceded in death by her husband, Jay Wm. Lang; son, Curtis (7 years old); and

her parents. She is survived by her loving children, Catherin Bain (David) of Carmel, Susan Dernlan (Gary) of Wellington, Fla. and William Lang (Jill) of Rockwall, Texas; sister, Louise Hoover (John), six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Ellie will later be laid to rest next to her husband, Jay, at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts are suggested to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or Parkinson’s Foundation in her memory. The family would like to thank The Barrington of Carmel, Paradigm Hospice and Senior Check-In for their kind and compassionate care.

City making hand sanitizer

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As director of the Carmel Street Dept., Dave Huffman never expected his job responsibilities to include PANDEMIC overseeing the production of hand sanitizer.

But thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, he’s doing just that.

Much like toilet paper, hand sanitizer has been nearly impossible for retailers to keep in stock during the pandemic, so the City of Carmel decided to tackle the problem by making its own.

“When it does come into stores, it goes out pretty quick,” Huffman said. “We did some research and found there’s not much to (making) it.”

Starting in late April, street department employees began using a drill with a mixing attachment to make hand sanitizer in five-gallon batches. They combine isopropyl alcohol, aloe and fragrance oil to create a viscous solution similar to what’s sold in stores.

Mixing the ingredients takes only a few minutes, Huffman said.

“It takes longer to fill the bottles,” he said. “We’ve asked the departments to keep their bottles if they’ve got some now so we don’t have that extra expense.”

The street department’s initial hand sanitizer clients include the law, human resources and police departments and city clerk’s office.

Huffman said he’s not sure if the city is saving money by making its own hand sanitizer. But if that proves to be the case, he said his department may continue making it beyond the pandemic.

FLAG aids restaurants, front lines

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

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

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

“There’s a lot of people who are in a similar situation as me, where you just feel helpless and you want to do something but you struggle to figure out how you can make a difference. FLAG provides that opportunity,” Murphy said. “It’s a very grass-

roots, genuine effort, and people trust that 100 percent of the money they’re donating is supporting our restaurants, and that it then is going to our front-line health care workers.”

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

“There have been some restaurants that we’ve been working with that this truly allows them to pay their employees or to bring employees back, which has a downstream effect because then that’s helping that employee to have an income,” Murphy said.

Biobot is already conducting COVID-19 testing in 270 facilities in 40 states, which represents approximately 10 percent of the U.S. population. It aims to eventually test samples from more than 10,000 cities.

After analyzing samples, Biobot provides a report with an estimated number of people in the community infected with COVID-19.

Carmel will pay $120 per weekly test in May, with the price increasing to $1,200 per sample in June.

Carmel treats an average of 10.9 million gallons of wastewater each day, with 1.45 million gallons per day coming from Westfield.

The City of Carmel is turning to wastewater to measure the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in the PANDEMIC community.

Carmel is using Boston-based Biobot to test samples collected from the wastewater system to determine how much of the community has an active COVID-19 cases. The virus can be detected in fecal matter as early as three days after infection, even before common symptoms of the disease emerge.

Many people with COVID-19 don’t have symptoms at all and are never tested for the disease, so the Biobot totals are expected to be higher than the number of cases confirmed by traditional testing.

“The hope of this study is that we may find that wastewater monitoring could provide an early warning of outbreaks of the virus in a community, which would be an important tool to avoid a second-wave of the pandemic,” Carmel Utilities Director John Duffy stated in a press release. “Even as we see individuals tested more frequently,

Kits aim to focus personal vision

By Raymond Mo news@currentincarmel.com In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, certified professional coach Sara Armstrong is offering a source of INSPIRATION inspiration for those who have given up hope on 2020.

Designed to be “inspiration in a box,” Vision of You is a supply kit of materials needed to create a personal vision board, which is a collage of images, quotes and other affirmations meant to help individuals pursue their dreams and desires. Each kit contains a vision board frame, starter magazines, craft supplies, vision workbook and online self-guided course meant to reignite a sense of purpose and clear vision for the months ahead.

“When COVID-19 hit, people were cut off from their daily routines and regular human interactions,” Armstrong said. “They were looking to connect with people, yet they were limited to the confines of their own homes. The Vision of You kit gives people a purposeful, creative outlet that keeps them in touch with their dreams and visions.”

The Vision of You supply kit includes materials to create a personal vision board. (Submitted photo)

Armstrong also provides online workshops to provide personal guidance throughout the Vision of You experience.

Noblesville runner keeps marathon date How Carmel businesses have prep in the wake of pandemic-relatedared for change shutdowns

PRESENTED BY:

The May 19 edition of Current will feature a report on how businesses have coped with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and what they envision in the days ahead.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jennifer Dye’s first Boston Marathon was unforgettable for the wrong reason.

“It was one of the most RUNNING grueling conditions that it had for decades,” Dye said of the 2018 race. “It was below freezing with the wind chill with a 35 mph head wind.

There was a lot of us that finished with hypothermia; that was me.”

Since the medical tents were overcrowded, Dye had to recover with other runners in a basement of a building.

“I don’t remember much of it, so I had hopes of going back,” she said.

Dye lost feeling in her hands during the race.

“I think I wore gloves for two months after,” she said. “I never wanted my hands to be cold for a long time after that.”

So, the Noblesville resident was set to return to the Boston Marathon April 20, but it was postponed to Sept. 14 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m going to remain hopeful, but I don’t see anything with so many people happen-

ing for the rest of this year,” she said.

So, the 1991 Carmel High School graduate

held her own COVID-19 Boston Marathon April 20 for her personal credit.

“I ran from my house through Noblesville and down through Carmel,” Dye said.

She had planned a 20-mile route but tacked on some additional distance to get to 26.2 miles.

“It was nice cool weather with no wind so it was an ideal weather day for me,” she said.

Her husband, Dean, got a video of Dye crossing the toilet paper finish line that her two daughters, Addison and Avery, were holding for her.

“I got a lot of messages saying, ‘I hope you saved that toilet paper,’” said Dye, who ran the distance in 3 hours, 36 minutes.

Dye is an interventional radiologic technologist at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. She previously worked 22 years at St. Vincent Carmel.

When Dr. Kannan Natarajan, a St. Vincent co-worker, found out what Dye was doing, he said he was going to run a half-marathon to support her on the same day.

Dye has competed in seven previous marathons, including Chicago and New York, twice each. Her first was in Chicago in 2003.

Games provide more than fun Commentary by Kelly Kolodkin Mental and physical exercise is important for humans and dogs to rid high energy, anxiety, boredom and stay healthy.

PETS There are numerous studies documenting the benefits of interactive play with your pups, so what type of games can we play? Let’s take a look!

Games I like to play and suggest to my clients include fetch, because it allows for high-energy running for your dog with the opportunity to train for the commands “recall” and “come” as your pup runs back to you, plus the benefit of training your dog to “drop” the ball in front of you. Think about the three benefits and reinforcement your pup receives from just that one game.

Next, I like hide-and-seek treats or toys.

For treats, you can take little pieces of treats or your dog’s kibble and toss it on your lawn to encourage the natural foraging skills of your pup. In addition, with supervision only, you can use disposable cups.

Show your dog the treat and put it under one of the three cups, then slowly move the cups around and let your dog try to sniff out the treat. Reward with the treat if the

dog finds it. If your dog likes toys better, then you can hide their toys inside your home under pillows, blankets or a chair, but make sure they see you hide the toys before you let them loose to go get it.

There are some great dog puzzle games you can purchase online or at pet stores, but you must take into account your dog’s nose type. You must consider how big, wide, long or short your dog’s nose is to get the treat from the puzzle base.

Another great option to keep your pup mentally sharp is treat-reward toys such as a ball that your pup needs to move with their paw or nose to get treats to fall out or a toy that is stuffed with a treat reward that your pup has to lick out. Games and interactive play that supply a reward and praise is motivating and carries over to assist with training, too.

Carmel couple hopes son’s suicide brings awareness to dangers of CTE

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Chuck and Mary Hansen know they don’t have all the answers about why their son, Evan, took his own life. They never will.

Yet, in the 20-plus months since then, COVER STORY the Carmel couple has sought to raise awareness about suicide prevention and the dangers of years of playing football as they pay tribute to a young man who touched many lives.

Evan, 21, shot himself on Sept. 10, 2018, two days after playing on Senior Day for the Wabash College football team.

With countless friends and family members that loved him, Evan went to a friend’s house where he found access to a gun. He called 911 and hung up three times without saying a word before taking his own life. Chuck tracked his phone and found his son in the woods in the morning.

Evan’s parents knew he was struggling with depression but had no idea he had gotten so desperate. A few days before his death, Mary wondered if different anti-depressants were available for people with traumatic brain injuries, because the ones Evan was taking weren’t working.

“When Chuck told me what happened, I said, ‘We have to get his brain checked,’” Mary said.

Since Evan had shot himself in the head, the coroner was concerned there wouldn’t be enough tissue to detect whether Evan had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. However, Boston University’s CTE Center confirmed it could do research on a limited amount of brain tissue.

More than a year later, during the middle of the 2019 football season, the Hansens learned that their son did indeed have CTE. They decided it served no purpose to speak publicly about it then. The New York Times learned of the result and Chuck said they believed the national exposure of the Feb. 13 article could help increase awareness outside of Indiana.

“People need to do their research,” Chuck said. “The (CTE Center) study that came out about the same time we found out stated the biggest correlation to CTE is how many years you play tackle football. Whether in first grade or the NFL, it

doesn’t matter. It’s the number of years, and every year you play, it’s a 30 percent increase in the chance of getting CTE. It’s a probability, not a guarantee.”

Chuck said players who want to play in college or the NFL might want to consider not playing until high school.

Evan had played tackle football since third grade. At Guerin Catholic High School, Chuck estimates Evan was often on the field for 95 percent of snaps, playing linebacker, fullback and special teams. He become a starter at linebacker his freshman year at Wabash.

Although Evan was diagnosed with one concussion in high school, it’s unknown if he had others. In addition, the frequent pounding and head collisions in football have been determined to be a factor in CTE. “You can’t say everyone that plays football gets CTE,” Mary said.

Chuck said experts don’t know if it is 1 percent, 10 percent or a higher percentage of football players who develop CTE. “They don’t know the absolute risks because they don’t have the samples of people that have been playing football who don’t have any cognitive issues,” Chuck said.

The difficulty lies in the fact that there is no test to determine if a living person has CTE, and the backlog of brain samples takes results more than a year to come back after the person dies.

“I can’t think of another disease where you can’t diagnose it until a year after you are dead,” Chuck said. “Until they can get over the step of being able to detect it in living people, that’s the first step of figuring out therapies that work and figuring out how it progresses over time.”

None of this is said lightly. Evan loved football and his parents loved watching him play.

With a history of depression on both sides of the family, Mary said she and Chuck didn’t think about football being a factor at first. After Evan’s death, they learned through his computer history he had looked up CTE and read a story

19

about former college football and NFL player Jason Hairston, who had taken his own life on Sept. 4, 2018. Hairston was convinced he had CTE and was later confirmed to have it after his brain was examined.

“We just weren’t able to help him in the way he needed to be helped,” Mary said. “I don’t know that Evan could piece Evan Hansen played football at Guerin it all together. It’s Catholic High School. like I tell people all the time about suicide, if we knew how to stop it, I think we would.”

The Hansens have set up a foundation to support initiatives Evan was passionate about, such as Our Lady of Mount Carmel’s Merciful H.E.L.P. Center, a food pantry and assistance center, where he interned.

The Hansens also have created a scholarship for nursing, a career Evan planned to pursue. Evan’s friends started a golf tournament last summer where they shared stories of a friend and teammate who always took time to listen. The Hansens are donating $5,000 to the Merciful HELP Center using funds generated by the 2019 golf tournament.

ADVOCACY GROUP PROVIDES GUIDELINES Concussion Legacy Foundation co-founder and CEO Chris Nowinski’s nonprofit is dedicated to solving sports concussion problems through education, policy and research.

“We’ve learned exposure matters and years playing matters,” said Nowinski, also a co-founder of the CTE Center. “We know there are genetic differences why some people get it and some people don’t. We are trying to learn everything we can so we can prevent it. We have now more than 100 brains from people that have died before age 35. It’s rare to have brain studies from that age group for any research. It’s been very helpful in us understanding the beginnings of the disease.”

Nowinski said 600 of the first 850 brains donated have been from football players.

“The vast majority of those have CTE, especially those who played college and professional,” Nowinski said.

“There is clearly a problem in football. We are learning CTE odds appear to be independent of diagnosed concussion numbers. It also appears you can get CTE with head impacts that never force you to leave the game or miss a play.”

Nowinski, a former college football player, said the job of the Concussion Legacy Foundation is to use the science from researchers at the CTE Center and act as an advocacy group. The nonprofit’s campaign promotes playing flag football until age 14 and supporting legislation to not offer tackle football until age 12.

LETTER

Abnormal practice

Hamilton County is resilient

Commentary by Terry Anker A hallmark of good stewardship for our corporeal bodies is regular health care. But in a time of isolation and lockdown, how do we keep up with routine maintenance? Many general practice physicians are waiting by the phone with patient counts low and offices closed. Do we have a responsibility to our good doctors to keep our regular checkups in much the same way that we are ordering carryout from the local trattoria?

Many caring citizens have marched on with scheduled appointments, hoping to support the local team and to keep the baseline of personal care up to date. One such recent virtual visit illustrated the gaps of nontouch medicine to both medical professional and patient. The pleasantries of general self-reporting on weight, overall comportment and the vagaries of aging aches and pains became the focus of the exam. Thankfully absent were the more physical elements of the physical.

One does not look in their own ear or throat. Also gone were the more invasive examinations that occur as we age.

There was some talk of the current state of medicine. There was some talk about appropriate ways to fend off, or forestall, contagion. There was some talk about coping with the stress of it all. Then, there was a prescription for a blood draw – to be administered at a time and place that was available, open and comfortable. One can assume the results would bolster the chat and lead to a bit more accurate diagnosis. It is dangerously reminiscent of the 2006 film on government overreach, “Idiocrasy,” where medicine is largely practiced by vending machine. Still, there is comfort in the abnormal normalcy of it. The doctor closed by admonishing that we get a “real” appointment when able.

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

Zooming in on normalcy Commentary by Danielle Wilson One of the benefits of all this time at home is that I am now officially an expert in video conferencing. I Zoom HUMOR or host webinars probably 15 times a week. I know how to schedule, record, moderate, participate, mute, share screen, enable a waiting room, change my name to something funny like Mommy Dearest or System Error, invite people in and kick people out. I’m a veritable Hugh Jackson (as P.T. Barnum, not Wolverine) of the greatest online circus shows in history!

Not that it beats in-person interaction.

I’d give up my red hair (which, I must say, is still looking incredible given I haven’t seen my stylist in forever. Miss you, SP!) to be in a classroom with my students or host a Derby party with my neighborhood peeps.

But I have been pleasantly surprised by the way virtual gatherings have filled the social void. Yesterday, for example, I was

on a Zoom call with my friends from high school who live in North Carolina, Kentucky and California. We talked and laughed and cried (not me, I’m stone-cold dead inside) for well more than an hour. And if it hadn’t been past my bedtime, we might have gone on all night, or at least until 10 p.m.! Getting to see their faces, read their body language and toasting each other with our various cocktails made a huge difference for me.

Even us introverts need an occasional dose of community to lighten the spirit.

So, I think once the madness has subsided and we return to our normal lives, I’ll continue to be the master of the Zoom domain.

Peace out.

Even us introverts need an occasional dose of community to lighten the spirit.

Editor, None of us could have possibly anticipated the challenges this spring would bring to our community, nation and world. Many of us have had to learn how to use new technology, create new work routines and maybe even learn some new recipes.

Even though the last month has completely reshaped our world, I am grateful that some things never change.

I am thankful for the many stories from across the county of people helping one another and community members finding creative ways to celebrate important milestones like birthdays, prom, weddings and graduations.

These creative ways to celebrate life and the joy in our community give me hope to keep moving forward, and I can only hope that it does the same for you, too.

We will begin the phased process to reopen Hamilton County. I cannot wait to see our public spaces teeming with people in all four corners of our county, but until then, we remain resolute in tackling COVID-19 aggressively and with care to those around us.

Mark Heirbrandt, Hamilton County commissioner

An act of faith to stay apart Editor, As people of faith, we believe in the common good, strive to serve and pray for one another. We are leaders of various religious communities, living in extraordinary times, acknowledging our responsibility to be faithful, forward-thinking and safety-conscious.

We believe in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic that it is an act of faith to remain physically apart. Large, in-person gatherings pose too great a risk to the common good, and our faith traditions can, and should, withstand this disruption to our practices.

Therefore, out of these convictions, and in response to our governor’s reopening plan: • We encourage all congregations, their leaders and their members to make safety and well-being of each other, those at particular risk, and those in their broader community, their greatest priority.

• We urge congregations to refrain from in-person religious gatherings, includ-

21

ing worship. Decisions to return to in-person gatherings should be based on science, the best practices recommended by public health officials and in consultation with the leaders of our faith communities.

• We affirm the ways in which faith communities are supporting essential workers, those most at risk and their constituents.

• We are inspired by the many ways faith communities have expressed hope, shared resources and cared for the vulnerable and those facing financial hardships.

We make these statements as an act of faith, trusting that we need not gather to be together, believing we will be together again and are fully committed in keeping one another safe from harm.

Mental health resources available during pandemic Commentary by Jerry Torr It is hard to believe it has been roughly six weeks since COVID-19 made its first known appearance in Indiana.

HELP Stay-at-home orders can put an extra strain on those Hoosiers who suffer from mental health issues or are victims of domestic violence. If you or someone you know is struggling, resources are available to help us all cope and push through this pandemic.

An easy way to find mental health resources locally is to call 2-1-1. Many health care providers also are offering Hoosiers telehealth counseling options. You can contact your doctor or health insurance provider to learn more about how you can access this option.

This unprecedented time creates a challenge for people struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. Since many people are staying home, these Hoosiers may not have access to their healthy coping methods.

The Indiana Addiction Hotline at 1-800-662-

HELP can refer you to treatment or support groups.

It is heartbreaking to know not every Hoosier has a home that is safe. Shelters across the state have reported an increase in domestic violence since the stay-at-home order was issued.

Help offer keeps company afloat

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Tony Jackson, a Noblesville resident and owner of Bolden’s Cleaning and Restoration, said he was looking for GIVING BACK a way his local business could help the community during the COVID-19 pandemic when he decided to donate free professional cleaning services to first responders.

Bolden’s has always donated its services to professionally clean the vehicles for CPD and CFD. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, Bolden’s added fogging treatments on a weekly basis.

When the City of Carmel and the City of Fishers learned that Bolden’s was offering the services, they hired the company to disinfect essential buildings throughout the cities, including their public works buildings, city halls and fire and police stations.

In Carmel, more than 150,000 square feet will be fogged on a weekly basis.

Jackson said he has been able to keep his company afloat and employees working because of the additional work that came

from simply reaching out to help the community and help his employees. The Noblesville-based company has been operating for 32 years.

“As with every small business owner, I’ve been terrified to see our normal business die down to almost nothing,” Jackson said.

“With the kindness of the two cities (Carmel and Fishers), we’re able to keep moving forward. We’re now going to be able to survive the downswing. If you do something good, it’s always going to come back around.”

Online at youarecurrent.com/vote To our readers: In the face of changing conditions and practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date of Indiana’s primary election has been moved to June 2.

There exists the possibility that date may be moved again.

Since many residents are opting for absentee voting for reasons of date uncertainty and social distancing, Current Publishing will provide its usual voting content online beginning May 5 and running through June 2. You may find it at youarecurrent.com/vote.

Audiobooks aim to destress

Wall angels improve posture

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Commentary by Seth Tucker

The continued uncertainty generated by the coronavirus pandemic has created a need for stress reduction.

PANDEMIC Carmel resident Skye Winslow, a certified instructor for the National Guild of Hypnotists, has a way to help. She founded Overnight Learning, which provides audiobooks to listen to during sleep, and is offering some of them for free.

“These are audiobooks that are written by licensed professionals,” Winslow said.

“We had a medical doctor upload one particularly for the coronavirus. People listen to them to calm themselves, to help them sleep. We have some for depression. You can listen to them at the daytime or night.”

Ten audiobooks are available for free at overnightlearning.com. Topics include caregiver stress relief, help with depression and positive emotional management.

Additional audiobooks are available for purchase.

“I named it Overnight Learning because guided meditations work just as well when

In the digital age, and especially during quarantine, you may find yourself at risk for poor posture and unnecFITNESS essary pain. Whether using your phone, typing on the computer or sitting on the couch watching TV, posture can suffer during all of these activities, causing pain and imbalances.

By chronically rounding your shoulders forward and allowing your head to sink forward during typing, texting or any other digital activities, you put your back and posterior neck muscles on a prolonged stretch. This can cause an overcompensation or protective effect in which the muscles on the back side of our body become stiff and sore in their effort to balance things out.

Here is an easy and quick exercise to help combat and reverse pain caused by poor posture. Perform this exercise slowly.

Wall angels (two or three sets of five repetitions): • Stand with your back against the wall and walk your feet out just far enough that you can keep your entire back,

you’re sleeping as they do when you’re awake,” Winslow said. “In fact, one could argue it’s actually better to be asleep.”

The audiobooks are streamed, so Winslow said one can listen on any device.

Winslow said it is best to listen to an audiobook at least once a day for 21 days before choosing a second audiobook because repetition of the recording is important.

Winslow has partnered with a psychologist, Roxanne Daleo, who has offered several meditations designed for children for the website.

including hips, lower back, upper back and head, against the wall. Keep all of these points of contact through the entire exercise.

• With nearly straight arms, bring the backs of your hands up to touch the wall overhead. Keep your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders in contact with the wall while you drag your elbows out and down until you have a 90-degree bend at the elbow, similar to the touchdown symbol a football referee makes. If you are able to bring your elbows down farther without losing any contact points or arching your back, then do so.

• When you have reached the bottom of your range of motion, reverse the movement to bring your arms back overhead while maintaining all points of contact with the wall. Repeat this for five reps.

HSE graduate’s film focuses on grief process

ISO cancels Symphony on the Prairie season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For filmmaker Katherine Crump, her short film has a deep personal connection. “’Telling the Bees’ PRODUCTIONS is inspired by the loss of my lifelong friend who passed away in December of 2018,” said Crump, a Geist resident who wrote and is directing the 20-minute film.

“We knew each other for 15 years, grew up together, we were Girl Scouts together and moved to Bloomington to attend Indiana University together, and losing her so suddenly was a major adjustment for me and everyone who knew her. The movie focuses on both the mourning process as well as many nostalgic, joyful memories that we shared, and ultimately portrays the nonlinear, muddled nature of grief by intercutting those two timelines.

“We’re honoring the memory of a friend, but the more people I talk to about it the more I realize we’re also commiserating in a common experience of grief and loss.”

Crump said the story is a fictionalized version of the grief she experienced.

The title comes from the custom of beekeepers telling their bees major events in their lives.

Like all productions, the schedule of “Telling the Bees” has been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

“The necessary need for quarantine has affected our schedule because we were meant to be shooting this month (May) but are obviously needing to create a new plan,” said Crump, a 2014 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate. “We are still uncertain as to when that new schedule will take place, but we’re still moving forward, doing the work and making plans from home as well as we can.”

Crump said she hopes to film in late summer or fall depending on actors’ schedules.

Kristina Wagner, who plays Felicia on “General Hospital,” is Crump’s aunt. Wagner and “General Hospital” co-star Haley Pullos are in the short film, along with Cassidy Mack.

“Telling the Bees” is the third short

The summer concert season is in a state of flux for most area venues because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Indiana Gov. Eric HolCONCERTS comb released guidelines May 1 for sites to reopen June 14, with limit gatherings of 250 until July 4. After that, social distancing guidelines will be in place.

That prompted the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to announce May 4 it is canceling the 2020 Symphony on the Prairie outdoor concert series at Conner Prairie in Fishers.

For those who have purchased a value pack, ISO has provided three options: Ticket donation: ISO would like patrons to consider a tax-deductible donation of the value of the ISO tickets to support ISO’s mission during the tough economic times.

Value Pack Voucher Exchange: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for 10 ticket vouchers to the 2021 40th season of Symphony on the Prairie performances.

Value Pack Gift Certificate: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for a gift certificate, which is good through August 2021. The gift certificate can be applied to any ISO performances throughout the season.

The release stated: “Due to ongoing physical distancing recommendations and crowd size regulations from local, state and federal authorities, the ISO anticipates it will be several months before musicians and patrons can safely gather for concerts in reasonable numbers. Even if concert restrictions are lifted mid-summer in the state’s reopening plan, the remaining guidelines combined with the infrastructure required for producing Symphony on the Prairie is so complex that presenting a partial season is not financially feasible.”

Hamilton County Parks Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls said a virtual staff meeting discussed plans May 6 for the Cool Creek Concert Series, but details aren’t established.

film under the umbrella of the production company, Film Wives Productions. Crump’s producing partner is Riley Dismore, a Geist resident and Fishers High School graduate. Dismore and Crump met at Indiana University.

Geist resident Amy Pauszek, whose Where’s Amy photo column runs in Current newspapers, is a producer on the film.

Pauszek is the executive producer for “The Addict’s Wake,” which focuses on the opioid epidemic in Brown County. Zionsville resident Michael Husain is the director of the full-length documentary.

“The pandemic has made production for our feature documentary film more challenging, but it is also important that we gather material during the crisis,” Pauszek said. “The forced isolation is very difficult for those seeking recovery. We have continued to film during the pandemic because being isolated and no work for addicts makes it extremely difficult for them to stay clean, sober and healthy.

“There are more overdoses, and COVID-19 has added more stress and disruption to Brown County.”

Pauszek said they are conducting online interviews via Zoom and similar software to stay updated with those featured in the

documentary.

“We will continue fundraising avenues to get the film done because this film is not only educational for addicts and their families left behind to pick up the pieces of the wake, but we want to leave the audience with a solution and hope,” Pauszek said.

‘Mayberry Man’ filming delayed Westfield resident Cort Howell’s film, inspired by “The Andy Griffith Show,” was originally scheduled to begin principal photography May 15-17 during the “Mayberry in the Midwest” festival in Danville, but the festival has been canceled because of the pandemic.

The production schedule has been consolidated, as a portion of the movie was already scheduled to be filmed in September to coincide with the “Mayberry Days” festival in Mount Airy, N.C., Griffith’s hometown. The schedule calls for two weeks in Indiana and one week in North Carolina and Virginia, followed by two days in Los Angeles.

Howell and other producers are working with representatives from the Town of Danville to secure locations for the new dates.
