Beresford said changes to the school day won’t go into effect until schools can operate normally again.

“This recommendation is for when school is in regular session in our regular setting,” Beresford said. “We really don’t have a clear idea of what the rules are going to be in the fall and what the schedule might look like.”

Gov. Eric Holcomb has said he expects to provide guidelines for school reopenings in July, after the state has reached Stage 5 of the Back On Track plan.

The board also approved starting the school day 40 minutes late twice a month to give teachers more time to collaborate and prepare. The district plans to offer free child care for students in kindergarten through eighth grade on those days for parents who can’t adjust their work schedules to accommodate the delayed start.

Pete O’Hara, Carmel Teachers’ Association president and a Carmel High School teacher, supports the changes approved by the school board.

“All along I thought extending the day by 30 minutes was too much (for elementary students), and I think that extending the day by 15 minutes is a good compromise,” he said.

CHS graduation plans announced

With the end of the school year approaching, Carmel High School seniors are preparing to cross the finish line — literally.

EDUCATION Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, CHS is unable to hold its traditional graduation ceremony, which typically packs more than 1,000 students and their families into the Indiana Farmers Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Instead, CHS will hold an in-person ceremony May 30 with grads recognized from the safety of their cars.

As their names are announced, students will be driven by family members in personal vehicles across the finish line on the Carmel High School track to receive a diploma cover and have photos taken, all while staying inside the car to promote physical distancing. Then, vehicles will leave the stadium and drive past Carmel High School before exiting on to Main Street.

Students have been assigned time slots to participate based on the first letter of their last name. The procession of 1,300 graduates is expected to take up to 5 hours.

Carmel Clay Schools Supt. Michael Beresford

said his first choice would have been to hold a traditional ceremony, even if that meant delaying it. But after consulting with medical professionals, CCS administrators determined it likely won’t be safe to hold a large gathering at any point this summer.

“I think it was a good decision to proceed rather than delay (the ceremony),” Beresford told the school board May 18. “These seniors have lost so much since March. We couldn’t stand the thought of having to cancel one more thing if we were to plan something in June or July and then it not happen again. I think these events will be memorable and unique to the class.”

CCS will hold a virtual graduation ceremony at 2 p.m. May 31 that will include student speeches, certification of graduates, individual student recognitions and tassel turning. Students are encouraged to wear their caps and gowns and families are encouraged to hold viewing parties to celebrate the occasion.

Beresford said CHS administrators have been considering different graduation scenarios since mid-March, when schools shut down to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

DISPATCHES Many polling locations change — Approximately 88,000 voters in Hamilton County will have a new polling location for the primary election June 2. The new sites are spread throughout the county and include area churches, neighborhood clubhouses and school buildings. To check polling locations, go to indianavoters.com, hamiltoncounty.in.gov, youarecurrent.com/vote or call the election office at 317-776-8476.

Library launches pickup service — The Carmel Clay Public Library will begin a curbside holds pickup service on May 26.

A library staff member will call when a hold is ready to arrange a pickup time. Patrons will be able to place new holds through the online catalog beginning May 26. The number of items will be temporarily limited to 10. Items currently checked out are due June 16. Learn more at carmelclaylibrary.org.

Officials confident about Stage 3

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com State officials have expressed confidence in their ability to move on to Stage 3 of a five-stage plan to reopen PANDEMIC Indiana’s economy.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said last week that daily hospitalization rates for COVID-19 patients dropped from 170 on April 1 to 71 patients on May 12.

“The number of COVID patients and people under investigation peaked about Box 30 days ago,” Box said during a May 20 virtual press briefing. “As we’ve said, we do expect to see more cases as people start to get out more, so we will be monitoring this data closely as we look at more parts of the state to reopen.”

The state also wants to retain the capacity to treat COVID-19 patients. In the past two weeks, ICU bed availability has hovered above 40 percent and ventilator availability is just above 80 percent. In addition, the state has opened 50 additional testing sites and expanded its contact-tracing efforts. “(The state) has worked diligently to ensure our health care system retains the capacity to treat this surge of patients,” Box said. “When this pandemic first started, our concern was we would not have enough beds or ventilators for people who need them, and many of the models that we saw from other states indicated we would outstrip our capacity during the surge. We were able to flatten that surge and keep the surge manageable to date.”

Box expressed concern that preliminary data from a recent Indiana University Fairbanks School of Public Health study, which provided scientific estimates of coronavirus transmission in Indiana from random-sample testing, reveals Indiana is far from achieving “herd immunity.” The study suggests a sizable gap exists between the number of positive COVID-19 patients identified by the Indiana State Health Dept.

(29,274 on May 20) and the actual number, which Fairbanks estimates could be 11 times higher than ISDH figures.

According to the study, which concluded May 1, 2.8 percent of Hoosiers are estimated to have the new coronavirus or have previously had it, meaning the majority of Indiana residents are still susceptible to the disease as the state begins to allow larger

social gatherings. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb assured Hoosiers that if needed, the state would reinstate restrictions if data trends in a negative direction.

On the economic front, state officials reported initial unemployment claims have fallen for the sixth-consecutive week. During the week ending May 9, 30,691 initial claims were filed, down from 42,290 the prior week, and significanlty down from 139,174 during the week ending March 21, the peak of initial claims.

On May 20, Holcomb announced most of the state would proceed to Stage 3 of reopening the economy.

Holcomb Stage 1 started March 24 and concluded May 4. Stage 2 began May 4 and was originally scheduled to end May 24, with the exceptions of Lake, Marion and Cass counties, which could enter Stage 3 as soon as June 1.

In Stage 3, social gatherings of up to 100 people will be allowed. Restaurant dining rooms will remain open at 50 percent capacity. Retail stores and malls will open to 75 percent capacity. Gyms and other fitness facilities may open with restrictions, and community pools and campgrounds can reopen. Recreational sports, such as basketball, tennis, soccer and baseball, can resume, although contact sports such as football and lacrosse are still prohibited.

Holcomb said he would sign an executive order May 21 to extend prohibitions on turning off utilities and filing mortgage foreclosures and evictions. It also would extend deadlines to acquire or renew drivers licenses, vehicle registration and similar BMV documentation.

In addition, state officials announced May 18 the first case of a new illness, which health officials believe could be associated with the new coronavirus, in an Indiana child. United Kingdom officials first reported multisystem inflammatory syndrome, an illness that predominantly affects those younger than 21, in late April, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since then, many countries, including the United States, have reported the illness.

In early May, New York health officials began receiving reports of the illness, according to the CDC. The CDC says there is not enough information to determine if the illness, denoted as MIS-C, only affects children or if adults can also contract it.

OBITUARY John G. Garman, 88, passed away unexpectedly on May 5, 2020. He was born Dec. 12, 1931. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Anne R. Garman. Together they had four children: Daria Crawford (Dave) of Indianapolis, John Garman Jr. (Amy) of Carmel, Charles Garman (Melinda) of Mount Vernon, IN, and Edie May Phillips (David) of Los Alamos, NM. He was Poppy “Poppy” to his 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild: Sam (Liz), Ben and Sara Crawford, Emily and Reilly Garman, Clara, Allie, Ian, Erin and Mark Garman, Nate, Emma and Elyse Phillips, and Quinn Garman.

John was born in Washington, D.C. He served in the Navy reserves as a sonar man before going to school and receiving his degree from Rochester Institute of Technology.

He worked for many years, in many places in the printing business. Later in life, John became very active in Veterans Affairs and causes. He was honored to have been chosen as an Honor Flight recipient. He was a renaissance man with a variety of interests: history, politics, entertainment, home repair and computers. He was involved in many organizations: Senior Police Academy, War Years, Roundtable and Americans for Prosperity.

John was loved by everyone. He was a kind and gentle soul. Many knew him by his wonderful sense of humor and the impish smile he always had on his face. He had a deep faith and loved a cold beer in the afternoon.

A Memorial Mass and celebration of life will be held at a later date at St. Elizabeth Seton.

TO OUR READERS: Thank you for supporting Current in Carmel and its advertisers by reading our edition each week. We fully understand how fortunate we are to have the level of loyal readership we enjoy (92 percent in each of 33,886 households – SMARI, Inc.). We are proud of and grateful for being the purveyor of local news and information that, in many cases, cannot otherwise be consumed.

Whatever your reason or reasons for continuing to use Current in Carmel as your local news source, your support means the world to us.

Now, we have a favor to ask. In light of the recent economic downturn and rising postal and newsprint increases, we have decided to institute a voluntary pay program. Believe it or not, your help with a $25 contribution for one year of receiving Current in Carmel will make a significant difference to our employees and to our operation. If you’re curious as to how that $25 affects Current, it takes $0.49 per paper to produce and deliver, and the $25 equates to $0.48 per piece.

We will continue, unabated, to deliver quality and factual news and information to Carmel, and we will continue to support the community’s not-for-profits with advertising at no cost as we have since our founding in 2006. On that subject, we surpassed $2.5 million in donated advertising space at the end of 2019 for all our markets, and we’re not stopping there.

We’re honored to play that role.

Twenty-five dollars may not seem like a game changer to many in our midst, but it would make a huge, positive impact for Current in Carmel and its locally generated journalism.

In the meantime, we will continue doing what we started back in 2006, and that’s PROVING NEWSPAPERS WORK and seeing to it that Current in Carmel arrives uninterrupted in your mailboxes each week.

Thank you for your consideration, and we sincerely salute you for reading the local journalism Current in Carmel provides.

“I DONATED BECAUSE CURRENT IS MY ONLY SOURCE FOR THE LOCAL NEWS I NEED AND WANT. LOCAL JOURNALISM MATTERS TO ME.”

JASON RANDLETT, CARMEL RESIDENT

Again, this purely is voluntary. To those inclined to participate, we sincerely thank you. To those who may wish to consider before doing so, the same. And to those who, for whatever reason, cannot participate, we understand and respect that and your contemplation.

The Carmel Fire Dept. led a parade of vehicles past Wellbrooke of Carmel on May 20 to honor its health care workers and bring a smile to the residents. City vehicles and those driven by friends and family members of Wellbrooke residents circled the facility, with participants waving and displaying messages of encouragement.

City reveals details, incentives for 4 major redevelopment projects

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is considering more than $27 million in bonds for four redevelopment projects.

The bonds will be repaid through tax COVER STORY increment financing, which uses the increase in tax revenue generated by a development to pay for the improvements. The bonds will be backed by developers, meaning developers will be responsible for covering payments if TIF revenue falls short.

The Carmel City Council reviewed the projects at its May 18 virtual meeting. All projects were sent to the council’s Land Use and Special Studies Committee for further discussion. A committee meeting date has not been set.

The following is an overview of the projects.

Lot One

The council is considering $6.5 million in bonds for Lot One, a mixed-use development planned on 1.8 acres on the northeast corner of Range Line Road and Main Street. Carmel-based developer Lauth is spending nearly $40 million on the three-story project, which is proposed to include nearly 60,000 square feet of office space, four condos and 70 apartments wrapping a 325-space parking garage.

“The garage will literally be almost invisible to pedestrians and vehicle traffic going up and down Range Line and Main Street,” said Michael Garvey, Lauth chief investment officer.

The development also will include a small park near the Rotary clock and public space between the garage and office building.

Lauth also is developing — and moving its headquarters to — The Proscenium’s Agora building at Range Line Road and Carmel Drive, which is set to open this year. Garvey said the success of that project, which is 70 percent leased, will help drive tenants to Lot One. Garvey said TIF dollars are needed to support the parking garage. Architectural designs are still being finalized.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2021.

The Corner

The council is considering $14 million in bonds for The Corner, a mixed-use development on the southwest corner of 116th Street and Range Line Road.

Kite Realty is planning a mixed-use development on the 4.6-acre site that will include nearly 25,000 square feet of retail, 278 apartments and a parking garage. The largest building is proposed to have retail on the first floor and 149 units on four additional floors. The other building would be four stories and have 129 apartments.

“We want this to be something that when it goes up people will say, ‘Wow, what an amazing difference. What an amazing gateway to the Carmel central core,’” Kite President Thomas McGowan said.

The site was previously home to a shopping center built in the 1970s and a bank building, both of which were demolished in January 2018. McGowan said the project has taken much longer than anticipated because developers ran into floodplain issues and had to negotiate buyouts.

Construction on the $70 million project is expected to begin in early 2021 and be complete by early 2023.

Brookshire Village Shoppes

The council is considering $2.5 million in bonds for renovations to Brookshire Village Shoppes at the southwest corner of 126th Street and Gray Road.

Developer KennMar bought the aging shopping center for $6.4 million in 2019 and announced in January that Needler’s Fresh Market would become its new anchor. Grocer O’Malia Food Market anchored the site until it went out of business in 2017.

Planned improvements include an updated facade and

enhanced entrance features. Kennmar President and CEO Brent Benge said the improvements will do more than provide a fresh look.

“Grocers have been struggling for many reasons. Margins have been compressed quite a bit,” Benge said. “Those economics flow through to the developer and we are not able to collect as much rental income as we normally would from some other types of uses. That limits us on what we can invest in the project for a grocer. However, incentives allow us to reinvest not only in the outside facade but also the inside through tenant improvements the grocer needs to open up.”

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Needler’s has not set an opening date. A spokesperson said the store is hoping to open in the fall.

Mélange

Indianapolis-based Onxy+East is planning to build 12 condos and 45 brownstones on 2.6 acres along the Monon Greenway just south of Civic Square. The site is currently a parking lot near the Carmel Fire Dept. headquarters.

The council is considering $3.7 million in bonds for the 2.6-acre development, which will be known as Mélange. It will bring the first new home-ownership opportunities to the area in more than 10 years.

David Leazenby, Onyx+East vice president of acquisitions, said the company has been working on the $29 million project for three years. He said it is a missing element in a part of town that has shopping, government centers, performing arts venues and the Monon Greenway.

“Adding for-sale housing is the final piece of the puzzle that makes it a complete neighborhood,” he said.

The 2,100- to 2,600-square-foot brownstones will be four stories tall with rooftop decks, three or four bedrooms, bay windows and private two-car garages. Prices are expected to begin in the high $400,000s.

The 1,600- to 1,900-square-foot condos will feature single-level living and include a private two-car garage. Prices are expected to begin in the low $400,000s.

A passageway between two of the buildings will provide access from the Monon Trail to a small common area with a fountain and benches that will be open to the public.

Mélange is expected to break ground in the fall with the first units ready by summer 2021.

ESSAY

LETTER

Economic SOS

Candidate’s message key, not funding

Commentary by Terry Anker Dinner is planned on the Lido Deck and then we’ll retire to a show or a little dancing to burn off some of the overeating that tends to happen on these Caribbean cruises. The night is planned, and all is well. Then, like so many times in life, we are reminded that less is in our control than we might ordinarily like to believe. The horns sound and it seems there is another “test” of ourselves and crew in meeting the required U.S. Coast Guard lifeboat drill. Didn’t they say when we did this before leaving port that we would only have to do this once per trip? Maybe they meant that we must do it each time we come and go from U.S. waters. Where are we, anyway?

So the story goes, when the alarms sound, we often find ourselves in disbelief. This cannot be happening. Is it possible that the ship is going down?

Will we survive? Should we try to get our luggage? Do these guys who last night were making swans out of the aluminum foil wrapping our leftovers from dinner have a wealth of knowledge in nautical survival? Will they really help us before they help themselves? Do we give our seat to the 90-year-old or do we do our best to survive and to raise our own young kids? What is the moral duty and to whom?

As the warning horns are blaring from The New York Times to Fox News, is our ship, the USS Economica, really going down? How many of us will live to tell about it? Will we be among those lost at sea? It is good if we can swim, but how long can we hope to tread water? Where are the sharks? Is help coming too late?

As the warning horns are blaring from The New York Times to Fox News, is our ship, the USS Economica, really going down?

Editor, It didn’t take long to realize Bruce Allen’s agenda in his op-ed attacking Victoria Spartz. He claims that Spartz is “cuddling up to a failing, disgraceful President Trump.” Well, there you go, would you expect anything less from a Trump hater?

Victoria Spartz and other candidates are free to fund their campaigns as they see fit. It’s the message that is key, not the funding. And her message is a good one, sound and conservative: limited government, lower taxes, 2nd Amendment rights, securing the border, right to life, etc. If one is tired of Victoria’s ads, turn off the TV and read a book.

Survival of the (mentally) fittest Commentary by Danielle Wilson With at least eight more weeks of my kids being home and some type of social distancing still in place, I’ve HUMOR decided it’s time for drastic measures at Chez Wilson.

Consider this our Defcon 5 Summer Survival Plan (SSP).

In truth, this isn’t different from any other attempt to navigate the two months of unscheduled chaos that ensues when three angsty young adults, two ill-prepared parents and one high schooler who desperately wants her driver’s license try to live together under the same roof while fighting for cars and food and access to the washing machine. And that’s the problem. We’ve essentially been in our “summer” mode since March, when we were prematurely forced to implement a chore chart and reacquaint ourselves with each other’s mood indicators. Our never-really-large supply of patience and compassion now stands empty, as June and July glare menacingly from the horizon. Hence, the necessary elevation to a

more extreme version of our usual SSP. So, all our current expectations remain in play, but with a few added, shall we say, incentives. Chores not complete? Phone is confiscated. No job? No student loan co-signature. Chew obnoxiously next to Mom when she’s clearly agitated? Caps. Busted.

Because let’s be real. Regardless of the rules I create, the alliances that inevitably form, and the back-bedroom deals made in the dark of night, no one will emerge in August unscathed. The goal then is not to achieve the impossible – universal happiness – but rather to minimize emotional damage and put a little cash aside for future psychiatric services. And by that, I mean my emotional damage and my eventual need of therapy.

Godspeed, friends. See you on the other side. Peace out.

A lesson from astronauts Commentary by Patti Napier Having conversations about what I call “reentry” are encouraging but can also bring a sense of uncertainty.

PANDEMIC Using the space shuttle as a metaphor helps me to understand how we need to prepare for this time. The astronauts, after having spent time outside of the earth’s atmosphere, experience physical and mental changes from stress, disrupted sleep patterns and other factors.

When it is time for reentry, they begin to experience the effects of gravity and drag.

Reentry can be a rough trip. Heat is generated in the process and spacecrafts can burn because of the friction. And once back on Earth, the astronauts have to readjust to the force of gravity and may have difficulty standing, focusing and walking.

We cannot allow ourselves to think that transition back to “normal” living will necessarily be easy. Here are some thoughts to consider: • What will it be like the first time someone reaches out to shake your hand or hug you?

• Will you immediately feel comfortable being among a crowd at any sporting event or concert?

• What about the changed family lifestyle and patterns of living? Do you jump

right back into the chaotic and hectic schedule? Was that really healthy?

As we think about reentry into a more normal pattern of living, we need to stop now and plan a course going forward. What have we learned from this time that has actually adjusted our life in healthier ways?

What do we want to retain in our lives now because this normal is improved?

We need to honestly communicate with one another. Don’t be afraid of that. We have endured many stressors from being family in confined quarters and have experienced more than normal amounts of fear, anxiety and worry. Individuals and families have experienced unbelievable stress.

I lean into my Christian faith for wisdom and guidance. Proverbs 19:20-21 says, “Take good counsel and accept correction — that’s the way to live wisely and well. We humans keep brainstorming options and plans but God’s purpose prevails.”

The wisdom from Proverbs reminds me of the actions I need to take but also reassures me that I never live alone of my own strength.

Patti Napier is senior pastor at Carmel United Methodist Church.

READER’S VIEW

Freedoms contingent on respect Editor, We live in a great country because of the freedoms we share. Americans work hard to provide for their families. They share generously through donations of time, talent and resources to lift up others.

Our freedoms are contingent on each one of us respecting not only our rights, but the rights of others. In our free democracy, all registered voters have the opportunity to exercise their right to select candidates they feel best represent their individual needs and the needs of their community.

We can disagree respectfully in an effort to not only share our ideas, but to learn from one another.

Voting through mail-in ballot is easy. I encourage the election commissions in every Indiana county to set up the most fiscally responsible and safe way for voters to vote.

When we vote by mail-in ballot, we have to

place our legal signature on the envelope before sealing our ballot inside. Those tabulating the votes cross-check the signature with our voter registration.

Two Republican groups, Republicans for the Rule of Law and The Lincoln Project, have formed in disagreement of Donald Trump’s presidency. Their goal is to retain the policies and platform of the Republican Party as well as to maintain the rule of law in America. I encourage everyone to read more about these two groups.

As a Democrat, I have repeatedly said that had Clinton or a more qualified Republican won in 2016 (i.e. Kasich or Jeb Bush), we would be in a better place overall — less division, more accomplished, and a plan based on the facts/data to combat this pandemic would have been put in place much much earlier saving lives and financial structures.

Contacts: Safe and sterile Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano If there was ever a time to consider switching to daily disposable contact lenses, it’s now. With COVID-19 domVISION inating every conversation and news cycle, we all understand the importance of washing our hands and surfaces. Repeated cleaning is good, but sterile is better.

Think about it. Given the option, would you prefer to put in a contact lens that you have “washed” or one that was directly removed from the sterile packaging? I am not here to bash your personal hygiene techniques or the contact lens cleaning solution of your choice. Regardless of your efforts or product choice, however, it can’t compete with sterile.

Daily disposable contacts are fresh, clean, thin, light, comfortable and sterile. I can’t recommend that modality enough. My wife and kids are all in daily disposables. It is by far our first recommendation for all adults, and it is the only recommendation we have for children at Little Eyes. We always joke that it passes the “mom test” with flying colors!

The only reason why more people haven’t experienced daily disposables is the perceived higher cost. And although they do have a higher up-front cost, the total yearly cost of daily versus monthly contacts aren’t that far apart. When you factor in $200 rebates and the fact that you no longer have to purchase cases and solutions each month, I can make a very strong argument that single-use daily disposable contacts won’t cost you more during the course of a year. And with all of the packaging being recyclable, it’s a win-win for the environment, too.

So, give your eye doctor a call and ask for a free sample of daily disposable contact lenses. Once you try it, you will be immediately impressed with the comfort and clarity. But most of all, you will feel safe because of the sterility!

We want to honor our veterans and thank them for their courage and commitment in protecting our country and safeguarding our freedoms. To those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we are forever indebted.

Celebrating the commitment Commentary by Jonathan Nalli It’s difficult to put into words what health care professionals have experienced the last few months, both HOSPITALS professionally and as an integrated health ministry.

Ascension St. Vincent’s Mission of commitment to those who are poor and vulnerable has never been more alive.

Certainly, there is grief and anxiety when we consider all this virus has taken and the unknown of what more it will take before it’s all over. But despite all that we’ve gone through, we have persevered with remarkable strength and selflessness, drawing on a personal calling and one another as we continue to give to those who need our help.

With input and guidance from cross-functional teams, and a sense of deep gratitude for our 165,000 associates, Ascension St. Vincent rolled out several programs specifically designed to ease the burden on associates in the midst of COVID-19. We want to recognize that while our caregivers have been focused on caring for individuals across Indiana communities, we have been working hard to support them and care for their physical, emotional, spiritual and fi-

nancial needs during this pandemic.

While continuing to care for people with COVID-19, we have begun to plan for how Ascension St. Vincent and our sites of care will look and operate as we come out of this crisis and enter a changed world. We need to adopt a new approach to delivering care because we know society will not go back to the “way things used to be.” There will be a “new normal” in health care, new expectations from our consumers and a new outlook in all aspects of society. It is an opportunity for us to serve better — together.

Going forward, our patients can expect expanded access to health care services with enhanced safeguards to ensure our sites of care continue to serve as healing environments — where quality care is delivered with the highest levels of safety and compassion.

Together, we’re coming through this stronger, more courageous, more resolute in faithfulness to our calling, more capable and more unified than ever before.

Everybody knows that restaurants are struggling because of the COVID-19 crisis.

Some have seen decreased PANDEMIC revenue from being “carryout-only” for about two months, and some have decided to close permanently.

Restaurants are a big part of American life. According to the National Restaurant Association, 56 percent of people dine in or get carryout or delivery from a restaurant two to three times a week. About 6 percent say they eat out every single day.

At the beginning of 2020, there were more than 1 million restaurants nationwide, and it was projected they would bring in more than $900 billion in sales for the year. Restaurants employ 15.6 million people a year.

Fortunately, when the crisis hit, most governors allowed carryout at restaurants.

While that’s not enough for a business to survive, a complete shutdown would have been catastrophic.

If every restaurant in the U.S. completely closed for one week, it would mean $4.5 billion in lost earnings and 135,178 jobs lost.

So, what did restaurants do during the shutdown? Some adapted. They changed their menus, cut costs, cooked food for hospital workers, adjusted their hours and signed up for delivery platforms.

Those first few weeks, some restaurants were overwhelmed with calls for carryout.

Most reported a decline after a while.

Some restaurants did not see an initial surge. Some of it depended on the type of cuisine. And it was proven that customers were only willing to drive so far. They might love traveling from Hamilton County for a date night in downtown Indianapolis, but they weren’t going to drive 30 minutes to pick up food.

For those restaurants that have seen a carryout surge, are they making good money?

It depends.

Some restaurants that relied primarily on lunch business were harmed since many offices decided to ask employees to work from home.

While the governor allowed alcohol for carryout, some saw strong sales and others did not. The average restaurant with beer/ wine licenses or a liquor license reports anywhere from 25 to 35 percent of its revenue from alcohol sales. That means a sports bar could see 50 or 60 percent of its sales from alcohol. A reduction in alcohol sales

Call 317-815-70 can be tough because it’s one of the items with the best margins. A bottle of wine at a restaurant can be marked up 200 to 500 percent.

Some restaurants turned to delivery platforms like DoorDash or GrubHub to boost sales.

Most people don’t realize that these sites typically take 15 to 25 percent of all revenue the restaurant makes, and that doesn’t include the delivery charge the consumer pays. When you consider small profit margins in restaurants, losing that revenue can be tough. Some restaurants respond by making their prices higher on these services to offset the platform costs. As a result, when you add delivery charges, a $10 burger could cost you $15. You save a lot of money by calling the restaurant directly.

In Hamilton County, restaurants were allowed to reopen May 11 at 50 percent capacity. For those open now, it’s still tough.

Consumer confidence will need to be rebuilt, and many people still don’t feel safe going out to eat.

The restaurants that I’ve seen are following the guidelines. Tables are spaced far apart and every staff member has been wearing a mask. I’ve felt very safe eating out.

Still, many people have lost income during this crisis. Some were out of work and some had to close their businesses temporarily. As a result, when people have less money, they tend to eat out less often.

If there is a recession, that will be tough for everyone, including restaurants. During the 2008 Recession, restaurants lost more than 110,000 jobs.

Let’s hope restaurants in Hamilton County are able to rebound and survive this crisis.

Master Yoo’s stays connected virtually

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Master Yoo’s World Class Tae Kwon Do had to close its doors at its three schools March 16 due to the PANDEMIC coronavirus pandemic, the schools’ black belt instructors quickly turned the training rooms into digital studios and created lesson plans.

The online kickoff was March 27, and more than 500 students participated.

“Due to COVID-19, there are many children and families staying at home with limited activities,” said Master Eunsoo Yoo, the owner. “Master Yoo’s Zoom live classes positively affect our students’ mental and physical health. In addition to the Zoom live group classes, our black belt Instructors provide 1-on-1 online private lessons so that they can give students feedback on their progress to keep them motivated. We constantly set the goals for student progress and reward them.”

A Carmel resident, Yoo has schools in Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers. Yoo said there are 47 free online classes for current

students being offered weekly.

Fishers resident Katie Jensen and her son, Chandler, have been taking advantage of the virtual classes.

“During the times we can’t connect and participate in the same physical space, we’ve been able to still have the camaraderie, connection and friendship,” Jensen said. “It’s so nice to see the masters, and their smiles and encouragement make me want to work harder. That carries over to my personal interactions with my family. I’m happier, more kind, more patient.”

Fortville resident Staci Thompson trains with her two children, Ava and Oliver.

“My kids are always beaming with pride afterwards,” Thompson said. “They need to hear that positive feedback from someone that isn’t in the same household right now.

The weekly live Zoom classes also help keep us in a somewhat ‘normal’ routine. Seeing demos from other kids and adults also helps us feel like we are right there with everyone.”

More than 200 participants took part in a May 9 Mom and Me virtual celebration.

Nickel Plate Arts perseveres through pandemic

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com As evidenced by global lockdowns, the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a dark cloud on virtually all public, NONPROFIT private and nonprofit entities. But if there can be such a thing as a silver lining amidst quarantine gloom, the creative collaborators at Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville have found it.

Social distancing and in-person obstacles notwithstanding, the creative forces at Nickel Plate Arts have turned barriers into outlets.

“One of the great things about working in our creative community is that art goes on even through crisis,” said Nickel Plate Arts Executive Director Aili McGill, who has served in her role since 2012. “In fact, many of our artists, performers and teachers have been busier during this lockdown than they were before because they are creating art and designing opportunities in reaction to the pandemic to help them and their followers process all of the strange things they are experiencing.”

A nonprofit that serves much of eastern Hamilton County, from Fishers to Atlanta, Nickel Plate Arts cultivates cultural growth by developing and integrating visual and performing arts in downtowns and parks and by supporting more than 200 professional local artists. It also raises awareness for the arts by supporting venues where people can enjoy the arts.

Because of the pandemic, access to nonessential venues has been shut down since mid-March. But Nickel Plate Arts has opened several creative avenues to keep access to art flowing. Examples include offering online classes, establishing online exhibits and creating portals for artists to reach audiences and potential buyers.

“We have opened up our Facebook feed to our artist network and have had artists post videos at 1 and 6 p.m. on most days,” McGill said. “This is a great opportunity for our artists to check in, to share what they’re doing, to reconnect with friends virtually, to sell items and to learn new skills. We’re always looking for new people

to add to our feed.”

Online classes, exhibits and other virtual content have been well-received — so much so that a some components might become permanent when social distance guidelines are lifted.

“We have also converted our monthly First Friday events to an online format,” McGill said. “We go through our exhibits, which we’ve converted to an all-digital format, and share stories from artists, musicians and community members. It’s a fun time, and we will likely continue to offer digital First Fridays for at least a few months and may keep some digital elements in our in-person events once those resume.”

Besides social media and online content, Nickel Plates Arts is assembling and distributing Emergency Art Kits for adults, teens and children who cannot afford art supplies. The initiative, which has already

provided more than 200 kits, is supported by the Hamilton County Community Foundation, the Richard M. Shulze Family Foundation and 100 Women Who Care Hamilton County. To request art supplies for someone in need, contact McGill at amcgill@nickelplatearts.org. For more on the program, visit nickelplatearts.org/artkits.

“The response to our efforts has been overwhelming in a great way,” McGill said.

“We have been delighted to see so many people tuning into our live posts, joining us for Virtual First Fridays and sharing their content with us on other social media platforms. Some of our events and classes have had greater attendance online than they would have had they taken place in-person, and we’ve received participation and support from people all over the globe.”

Producer Haley Lawrence had to adjust her “Listen To Your Mother” performance from a series of live STORYTELLING readings to a virtual production because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Listen To Your Mother” had two sold-out shows at Indy Fringe Theatre in Indianapolis in May 2019.

It was scheduled May 9 at the University of IndiLawrence anapolis, the day before Mother’s Day, before it had to shift gears to a virtual production.

Lawrence, a Carmel resident who owns The Fearless Leap, chose 11 central Indiana storytellers to inspire audiences with their personal tales. Lawrence chose the 11 from dozens of auditions.

“It’s giving motherhood a microphone,” she said.

Singer Allison Victoria and performance artist and poet Manon Voice were part of the production.

“The response has been fantastic,” said Lawrence, who said the show had sold 129 tickets as of mid-May. The show is available to watch for the rest of May on thefearlessleap.simpletix.com.

Tickets are $12 for the nonprofit show in support of Pass The Torch For Women Foundation. There are $5 raffle tickets available with 100 percent of sales going to Pass The Torch.

Bailey Wright, a 2019 Carmel High School graduate who attends Indiana University, helped edit the program.

“He did a great job putting it together and a local director (Paul Nethercott) assisted me,” Lawrence said.

The title sponsor is Westfield resident Michelle Hammes of Keller Williams/Ruggles Realty Group.

Author Ann Imig founded “Listen To Your Mother” in Wisconsin in 2010. Lawrence has the central Indiana rights to the show, which is held in 50-plus cities as a charitable event.

CYT camps offer variety news@currentincarmel.com To serve parents who are ready to send their kids into the world and those moms and dads who are still a little THEATER cautious, Christian Youth Theater is offering virtual and in-person camp opportunities this summer.

“We’re hearing two distinct messages, ‘We’re keeping our kids home from camp this summer’ and ‘We wouldn’t miss sending our kids to your camp for the world,’ so this is our way of bridging that gap,” CYT Executive Director Laura Baltz stated.

In-person camps are scheduled during July and feature Camp Hakuna Mata and Under the Sea themes, as well as a teen camp that auditions, rehearses and performs “Seussical Jr.” in only a week.

Although in-person camps still include singing, dancing and acting, they will look different than previous summer camps.

“Numbers will be smaller, and we will follow all CDC guidelines to protect the health of our kids,” Camp Director Levi Burke stated.

Virtual camps have some creative options. Students can take jazz dance classes, write theatrical scripts, learn advanced stage makeup techniques and participate in

9th Street Bistro 9th Street Bistro offers ready-to-heat meals and is in the process of opening a restaurant in downtown Noblesville. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 56 S. Ninth St., Noblesville.

What to get: Chicken Pot Pie Price: $15 Anna’s take: 9th Street Bistro is in the process of opening its restaurant in downtown Noblesville. In the meantime, it has items available for preorder and at the Noblesville Farmers Market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at Federal Hill Commons. The meals come refrigerated with reheating and freezing instructions. I sampled each of the following: Chicken pot pie ($15) with roasted chicken, carrots, celery, potatoes and peas in a homemade pie dough; shrimp and polenta ($14) with garlic marinated shrimp sautéed with roasted tomato, shallot, peppers, chorizo and pimen-

to-cheese polenta; and beef stroganoff ($14) with beef braised with shallots, garlic and mushrooms in a light dill cream sauce and homemade pasta. I also tried the freshly baked rosemary focaccia ($4) and pimento cheese spread ($6). Each of the items has serving recommendations, and some serve one to two people whereas the pot pie can serve up to three. Everything was delicious and homemade, and it was so easy to pop it in the oven or microwave and enjoy. The menu changes weekly. New menus are published on Tuesdays. Preorders are accepted

by Friday for the Sunday Supper Club, which is a ready-to-heat pick-up on Sunday afternoon. Each week’s meals are available at the market.

Rail to reopen as brunch, lunch spot

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Rail hasn’t yet reopened to dine-service, but when it does, co-owners Toby and Melanie Miles plan RESTAURANT to return to their roots and operate the restaurant as a brunch and lunch eatery instead of a lunch and dinner destination.

“When we first opened, obviously it was just Mel and I. We didn’t know what to expect, so we started off with a really small kitchen,” Toby said. “We thought a small kitchen would be fine, and we would use one floor (of the renovated barn at 211 Park St. Westfield) and somebody else would rent the second floor. The more we got into it, the more we realized people want to go out to eat in Westfield.”

When The Rail first opened, Westfield had few restaurants. The Miles offered wine dinners and discovered there was a popular demand for dinner restaurants in Westfield.

“We thought, ‘OK, we can do a little bit of dinner,’ and it snowballed from there,” Toby said. “We never really were set up for

a dinner service. Our kitchen is 182 square feet when it’s empty, and that’s all the prep space and cooking space and service space. Doing dinner was possible because the (employees) we have are awesome, but it’s a lot of work to consistently make that happen.”

Although the Miles enjoyed offering

dinner, the COVID-19 pandemic made them rethink their business model with regard to their employees.

“Everybody needs to spend more time with their family, and making that shift to go back to what we were doing before seemed like a necessity for everybody,” Toby said.

Employees will still work a full 40-hour week but will only work at the restaurant four days a week.

“It’s just kind of a good chance for us to reset and reevaluate what we are set up to do and do the best in our setup,” Toby said. “What we originally set out to do was breakfast and lunch. The brunch menu we’ve been testing these last three or four weeks. We have been testing recipes, and it’s a big brunch menu. We have our lunch menu we are adding to. It’s a Rail brunch menu, so it’s not your typical brunch menu.”

A reopening date hasn’t been set, but when The Rail does reopen, its hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant will be closed Mondays.

For the love of creative outdoor spaces Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard Who knew our outdoor living spaces would mean so much to us? With social distancing and simply an REMODELING elevated level of appreciating fresh air, patio living is as prevalent as the crowded Monon Trail and the Sun King/Fork & Ale green space! I’ll have the burger special from the Fork and a Wee Mac please ... wrapped in a face mask, of course.

FAVORITES We are often asked what our favorite patio material is. Hmm. If you can answer which is your favorite child, I will happily answer what our favorite material is. It depends, doesn’t it. Often, it is driven by the surroundings, conveniently part of our company name. Formal homes with classic details call for a totally different material pallet than woodsy natural neighborhoods, as you might imagine.
