Qaddoura defeats statehouse incumbent

1 seat undecided in school board race

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

In one of the closest races for the Indiana Statehouse, Democrat Fady Qaddoura defeated incumbent Republican John Ruckelshaus to win the State ELECTION Senate District 30 seat.

With nearly all votes counted, Qaddoura received more than 52 percent of the vote to win his first race for elected office.

Qaddoura celebrated his victory with a Facebook post late Nov. 4, shortly after naQaddoura tional news outlets called the race.

“We did it! Only in America can someone immigrate to this country, work hard, and earn the trust of tens of thousands of voters to become the first Muslim State Senator in Indiana’s history,” Qaddoura stated. “I will work hard every day to represent all Hoosiers -- including the ones who did not vote for me.”

Ruckelshaus, who held the seat since 2016, fared better in Hamilton County, where he picked up nearly 60 percent of the vote.

District 30 includes southern Hamilton County and a portion of northern Marion County.

Incumbent Katie Browning has been re-elected to serve another four years on the Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees, but the race for the second at-large seat is still too close to call.

ELECTION The unofficial totals show Browning with 23.71 percent of the vote in the nine-way race. Louise Jackson finished in second place with 12.92 percent of the votes, only 68 votes ahead of Anne Poindexter.

Hamilton County Election Administrator Beth Sheller said Nov. 5 all votes have been counted but that there are 117 ballots with missing or mismatched signatures that are waiting on affidavits, which are due

by Nov. 11. Hamilton County Clerk Kathy Kreag Williams said there are also approximately 50 provisional ballots to be reviewed. The Hamilton County Election Board will release official totals on Nov. 13.

With the vote so close, Jackson said her campaign will not declare victory until the official totals are released.

Candidates have until noon Nov. 17 to file a verified petition for a recount. Poindexter said she does not plan to do that.

“Hamilton County has the best election officials anywhere,” Poindexter said. “I have complete confidence in their election results and no intention of requesting a recount.”

Spartz narrowly defeats Hale to win 5th District

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Victoria Spartz will become the next Congresswoman from Indiana’s 5th District.

With nearly all of the ELECTION votes counted, Spartz, a state senator from Noblesville, maintainted her narrow lead over Democratic challenger Christina Hale with 50 percent of the vote.

“I could not be prouder to call myself an American, and be selected by my fellow Americans, to represent them in Washington,” Spartz stated in an email to supporters. “There is too much division in our country, and I pledge to bring people together to solve problems and get results while keeping the promises I have made to you.”

Hale conceded the race at approximately 9 p.m. Nov. 4.

“For more than a year, we spoke about protecting and expanding every Hoosiers’ right to affordable health care and promoting bipartisanship and civility in our politics,” she stated. “This was a historically close race, and our message clearly resonated with voters. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity

to talk about the issues that matter most to our community and lift up the voices of so many people in our district.”

The Spartz campaign announced to their supporters late on Election Day that Spartz would be declared the winner, but with thousands of votes still to be counted, many others — including Hale — considered the race too close to call.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, who introduced Spartz at the Nov. 3 event at Hotel Carmichael, is retiring from Congress at the end of her term. The Republican from Carmel has represented the 5th District since 2012.

The race was the closest in the history of the 5th District with its current boundaries, which has traditionally been a stronghold for Republicans.

Middle school redistricting proposals concern some

By AnnMarie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools is redistricting its students because of the upcoming closure of one elementary school EDUCATION and the opening of another, but its effects on middle school attendance boundaries is a top concern for many parents.

Orchard Park Elementary will be shuttered at the end of the school year, with Clay Center Elementary opening next fall 5 miles to the northwest. CCS and consulting firm Cooperative Sachs Strategies released three proposed redistricting scenarios in late October and have been gathering feedback since then through an online survey and at two community meetings last week at Carmel High School.

Currently, four elementary schools feed into Clay and Carmel middle schools and three feed into Creekside Middle School. But because of quick growth on the west side of town, the three feeding into Creekside equal nearly as many students as the four that feed into the other two schools.

Once the elementary school populations are more evenly balanced through redistricting, school officials said it wouldn’t make sense to have the same elementary schools — with Clay Center replacing Orchard Park — feeding into the middle schools because the populations would not be balanced. In that scenario, Carmel Middle would school end up with hundreds more students than the other two campuses.

The proposed shuffling has led to many Orchard Park parents being especially disappointed with the three proposed redistricting options, none of which keep their middle school students at Carmel Middle School, the nearest campus and where their kids now attend. All three proposals send some students from Home Place to Creekside Middle School and the rest to Clay Middle School.

Stacy Eggert, mother of a fifth-grade student at Orchard Park, was one of many Home Place residents to express concern about the middle school redistricting proposals at a Nov. 4 community meeting at Carmel High School.

“It’s going to hurt enough losing Orchard

Park Elementary,” Eggert said. “These scenarios have my daughter going to either Creekside or Clay, and to me, that logistically absolutely makes no sense.”

CCS Associate Supt. of Business Affairs Roger McMichael said after the meeting that he’s heard similar comments from other Orchard Park parents, with some indicating that south-central Carmel continues to get the “short end of the stick,” in part because its residents aren’t as wealthy and don’t have as many resources as those in other parts of the district.

McMichael denied those allegations.

McMichael “We don’t drive decisions based on where you live or how much money you make or whoever you are,” he said.

“You’d be naive to think it doesn’t have any influence, but in this process we don’t have conversations that go, ‘Well, we shouldn’t move this neighborhood because they’ll gang together, and we can move this one because they won’t say anything.’”

Several parents from the Village of WestClay also spoke at the meeting, asking district officials to keep their neighborhood together. Currently, Village of WestClay students attend College Wood and West Clay elementary schools, which are next door to each other, and all students go to Creekside Middle School.

Several parents at the meeting asked district officials to minimize the impact of redistricting as much as possible because 2020 has already placed tremendous strain on students, parents and teachers as they pursue education during a global pandemic.

The district will continue gathering feedback on the proposed redistricting scenarios through a survey that closes at 8 a.m. Nov. 9. Cooperative Solutions Senior Associate Director Matt Sachs said so far, option No. 1, which affects the least amount of families, appears to have the most support. Sachs expects the recommendation presented to the board Nov. 23 will likely not be an exact match with any of the proposed scenarios but will be revised based on feedback from the community. The board is expected to vote on the recommendation during its Dec. 14 meeting.

Local officials could implement restrictions if state does not

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Indiana, county health officials have asked local elected leaders to consider working together on measures to slow the PANDEMIC spread in the region.

Hamilton County Health Dept. Health Officer Charles Harris and HCHD Administrator Barry McNulty sent a letter Oct. 29 to elected officials in the county urging collaboration, even if state officials don’t take additional steps to curb the pandemic.

“While Governor (Eric) Holcomb has not explicitly stated as much, we as a county in conjunction with our municipal partners need to be prepared to act in the best interests of Hamilton County residents without the intervention of state authorities,” the letter states.

The letter does not suggest specific steps to slow the spread beyond recommending a meeting of Hamilton County commissioners and mayors and possible collaboration with Marion County officials.

Harris and McNulty did not respond to a request for comment on the letter, but HCHD Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Christian Walker addressed it in a video released by the HCHD on Nov. 2.

“We understand that a lot of our residents work in Marion County and the surrounding counties and reside here, so we are interconnected,” Walker said in the video. “That’s what this letter was, saying, ‘Let’s sit down with the elected officials from the municipalities. Let’s start looking at, ‘Do we need to take a more proactive approach from a governmental stance or do we continue down the path we’re going down right now?’’

Brainard said he and other mayors in the county planned to meet with county commissioners and health department officials on Nov. 9 to discuss the rising caseloads and regional strategies to combat them. He said he was pleased to hear that Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett wants to work with officials in neighboring counties to stop the spread as well. In the spring, Indianapolis had stricter regulations to stop the spread of COVID-19 than its neighbors.

“Thousands of (Indianapolis) residents came here to use our restaurants. That didn’t make a lot of sense,” Brainard said.

“We ought to try to have consistent rules

throughout the region.”

Brainard didn’t say whether he expects Carmel or other municipalities to implement new restrictions to stop the spread of COVID-19, but he pointed out that contact tracers have determined that most of the recent surge has been caused by private gatherings in homes rather than in schools, shops or other public settings.

“You feel safe in your home, but apparently that’s where the spread is happening,” he said. “To be able to tap this down until we have a vaccine in a few weeks we’re going to have to continue to wash our hands, wear a mask and probably not have lots of people into your house.”

Brainard said he expects a vaccine — which has not yet been approved by the FDA — to start being distributed in Hamilton County the week of Thanksgiving.

In recent weeks, COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths have risen in Hamilton County. The HCHD letter states that the county saw its average daily case count go from 19 in Stage 1 of the state’s reopening plan to eight in Stage 3.

“While these measures slowed the spread of COVID-19, it is safe to say those measures were unsustainable for our economy and our residents,” the letter states.

The county saw 13 average cases per day in Stage 4, 40 cases per day in Stage 4.5 and 52 new cases per day in Stage 5, with more than 113 cases per day since the letter was sent. As of press time, the highest daily total in the county was 215 cases on Nov. 5.

Hamilton County had 16 COVID-19 deaths from June 1 to Sept. 30 but had 17 COVID-19 deaths in October, with deaths reported on five consecutive days the last week in October. That hadn’t happened since early May. Watch the HCHD video at youtu.be/ u02uDzTcVkU.

State restrictions not planned

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Despite a surge in COVID-19 cases, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb dispelled rumors of a state PANDEMIC shutdown or any notion of forcing schools to close during a Nov. 4 virtual press briefing.

Holcomb said the number of COVID-19 cases, hosHolcomb pitalizations and deaths are rising in nearly all Indiana counties. But he said he won’t order a shut down or roll back the state’s reopening plan.

Cases have hit record highs, with the state reporting the most cases in a seven-day span during the week leading up to the briefing. The state reported a single-day record of 3,756 cases on Nov. 3. Testing across the state also is at record levels.

The number of Indiana residents hospitalized with COVID-19 also has reached record highs, according to health officials. As of Nov. 3, 1,897 residents were hospitalized.

Daily admissions reached record highs with 204 and 201 patients admitted on Oct. 22 and 29, respectively. State health officials said 701 residents died of COVID-19 in October.

The state’s seven-day positivity rate, which was 3.9 percent on Sept. 16, has steadily increased in recent weeks. On Nov. 4, the state registered an 8.7 percent seven-day positivity rate. State health officials have said they want to see the positivity rate stay below 5 percent.

“Perhaps the greatest strain right now is on our hospital workforce, which is in the ninth month now of responding to this pandemic and facing the greatest patient load yet,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said.

Box said the state health department conducts regular meetings with hospital systems to assess their needs and discuss surge planning.

“What we hear consisBox tently is that their biggest challenge is having enough staffing,” Box said. “Some hospitals have already needed to rearrange elective surgical procedures to accommodate their staffing needs. We are receiving three to five requests a day for staffing assistance to our health care workforce reserve for hospitals.

Vaccine update Indiana State Dept. of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lindsay Weaver said the state is still operating under the assumption initial shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine could arrive in Indiana as soon as the middle of this month. The vaccine, however, would not be for the public initially and would still need approval from the FDA. Weaver said the federal government has asked every state to identify one to five sites to serve as pilots for initial distribution. The facilities must be able to store the vaccines at prescribed low temperatures and serve as distribution sites for health care workers and other groups earmarked for initial immunizations.

OBITUARY Jean Mary Mahoney White, whose enduring curiosity took her far from her Indiana roots, died of natural causes on Saturday, October 31, 2020, at Agrace Hospice in Madison, Wisconsin, after a brief illness. She was 97.

The Whites moved to Carmel from Muncie when her husband, Charles took a job at The Indianapolis Times in 1957.

Jean and Charles were founding members of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Carmel. The Whites were active in the rapidly growing church, serving on the vestry, singing in the choir and along the way forming lasting friendships with fellow parishioners. Jean’s strong but quiet faith in God sustained her throughout her life.

In 1986, Jean and Charles left Carmel for Muncie. Charles died in 1987. Jean moved to Sarasota, Florida, in 1992.

By her tenth decade Jean had been a teacher, a Navy WAVE, a newspaper reporter, a freelance travel writer/photographer with Charles, a mother, a book editor, and a resident of Indiana, California, Washington D.C., and Florida. She moved to Madison, Wisconsin, in 2018 to be near her daughter.

Jean is survived by her sons, Andy of Traverse City, Michigan, and David of Austin, Texas; David’s son, Ethan; stepsons Mark and Zach; daughter Sarah, of Madison, as well as the many descendants of her oldest sister, Margaret.

Virtual event to aid Kenyan kids GET YOUR MOWER SERVICED

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Ron Snow heard about the Umoja Partnership in Kenya through Second Presbyterian Church in FUNDRAISER Indianapolis.

Snow and his wife, Linda, traveled to western Kenya to learn more with a group from his church.

“I was moved in ways I had not expected,” said Snow, a Carmel resident who spent two weeks in Kenya in June 2019 and visited with families. “I’ve been involved with Umoja ever since.”

Umoja means “unity” in Kiswahili. The partnership brings people together from different faith communities and different cultures to respond to the urgent needs of Kenya’s children.

Snow, a new board member of Umoja Partnership, is serving as emcee of Umoja’s Virtual Interfaith Thanksgiving Dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 15. The event will be filmed at Second Presbyterian Church.

“This is our hallmark event,” said Denise Soltis, executive director of the Umoja Partnership. “Lately, we’ve had 200 people get

2020 CHS grad killed in car accident remembered for art, service

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Gabriella Marshall was thrilled to learn recently that she was on the right path to pursue her passion of IN MEMORIAM becoming an artist.

The 2020 Carmel High School graduate, known as Gabby to her friends, had recently switched course, deciding at the last moment to apply to the Herron School of Art instead of pursuing theater at Ball State University. She worried that she wouldn’t be accepted because she hadn’t taken any art classes, but after quickly throwing together a portfolio, she later learned that she had made the cut.

That dream came to a tragic end the afternoon of Oct. 23 when the car she was driving in Allen County crossed the center median and collided head-on with a semitrailer. Gabby, 19, the only passenger in the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are still investigating what led to the accident.

Andrew Marshall, Gabby’s father, said his daughter was a typical teenager who loved her friends, writing and volunteering for the Humane Society, but that she also struggled with insecurity and fitting in at times. He said she thrived under a deadline, often procrastinating on homework until the last minute but then turning in an “absolute masterpiece.”

“She worked on her art the same way,” he said. “She was very good under pressure.”

CHS technical theater instructor Andrew Okerson agreed. One of his favorite memories of Gabby was her ability to run complicated video projections during a state competition last year.

“At the end of the night, we were told we took best tech in the competition,” Okerson said. “That was in no small way thanks to Gabby. Of course, she was incredibly humble about it, but I could tell she was also very proud of her team for making a great show happen.”

CHS Director of Theatre Maggie Cassidy said she was impressed with Gabby’s heart

for serving others. She said Gabby wanted to create a free theater camp for kids who would not otherwise be exposed to that type of opportunity.

“She really wanted to be able to influence younger people and be a good and positive role model,” Cassidy said.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family cover funeral expenses.

Donate at gofundme.com/f/memorial-gabriella-marshall. Donations can also be made in Gabby’s name to the Humane Society for Hamilton County or any literacy program to honor Gabby’s love for reading.

“She really wanted to be able to influence younger people and be a good and positive role model.”

OBITUARY Former 45-year Carmel resident Alice Maia (Stevens) Hecker died October 21, 2020. She was born on New Year’s Eve 1932 in White Plains, New York, to Robert Gardiner Stevens and Ruth Alice (McClain) Stevens. She grew up in Mount Vernon, New York. Her mother died when she was seven. In spite of this, she graduated from Mt Vernon High School as valedictorian in January 1951.

She was in National Honor Society and active in her church youth group. During the summers she was a camp counselor for a Methodist church camp in New York.

She attended Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin, becoming the 17th Stevens family member to attend. While at Lawrence, she pledged Alpha Delta Pi Sorority and volunteered at a local school, which had some children with disabilities.

This interest led her to transfer to the University of Wisconsin at Madison to pursue a degree in occupational therapy and she graduated with that degree in 1955. While there, she was involved in Hoofers, an outdoor adventure club. Also, on campus, she indulged in ice cream made by the dairy science school no matter what the weather. While at school, she met her husband, Fred Hecker, at a social event. She became one of his favorite “groupies” as she followed him on weekends as he played the accordion in supper clubs and beer halls. The couple would eventually marry on October 20, 1956.

After graduating from college in 1955, Alice worked in occupational therapy with internships in Portland, Oregon; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Camarillo, California. After their wedding in Chicago, Illinois, the couple established residence in Indianapolis, Indiana. Alice worked for LaRue Carter Hospital for two years and then briefly for Methodist Hospital before focusing full time on her family. She lived her married life in Indiana, first in Indianapolis and then Carmel, except for a

three-year period in Australia from 1963-1966.

Alice is survived by four children: Sharon (Tom) Kroll of Mishawaka, Indiana; Jon (Patricia) Hecker of Ellettsville, Indiana; Jamie (Suzanne) Hecker of Dunn Loring, Virginia; and Andrew (Kerrie) Hecker of Edina, Minnesota. She was also a proud grandmother of eight, Andrew (deceased); Michael and Matthew Kroll; Benji and Jonah Hecker; and Adam, Luke and Noah Hecker.

While she was busy raising her children, Alice supported their activities by being an active member of PTO, a den mother for Cub Scouts, “Band Aide” for the high school marching band and the energetic fan at all of their sporting events. She continued her interest by attending the grandchildren’s sporting events whenever possible and taking them to the University of Wisconsin Grandparent Camp in the summer in the hopes that she could entice someone to become a future Badger.

While raising her children, she was famous for inventing summer projects around the house to keep everyone busy. The difficulty of the project and the lack of age and compensation of the children were never considered as these projects included landscaping, digging a basement, scraping and repainting the old buildings on the property and re-sealing the deck to name just a few. Decades later, her children still groan with the memories of those summers, but all are grateful for the values instilled.

Besides being involved in her children and grandchildren’s activities, she loved spending time with friends, shopping for antiques, making baskets, supporting the University of Wisconsin Alumni Association and attending University of Wisconsin sports, especially the football bowl games.

Once the children left the house, she bought a cherry red Mazda Miata convertible, which she enjoyed driving around

town or on trips. Travel was another one of her hobbies, and she and Fred travelled to many places (all seven continents), visiting friends and family and experiencing life through many cultures.

Among other adventures, she rode camels, crossed the Outback and danced with Indigenous Tribes in Australia, climbed glaciers in Alaska, walked with penguins in Antarctica, fished for piranha in the Amazon, skied in Chamonix and saw the Great Wall of China. When she missed out on all a destination had in store, her answer was “next trip.”

In her free time, Alice volunteered with charitable groups including Tri-Kappa, Meals on Wheels, P.E.O., Questers, Letreian and the Carmel Clay Historical Society including having her house on the fundraising tour in 2000. She was given the Hamilton County service volunteer award of the year in 2000.

In 2013, Fred and Alice moved to Marquette Retirement Community in Indianapolis where she resided until her death.

She is preceded in death by her first grandchild, Andrew Thomas Kroll. She leaves behind her husband of 64 years.

Alice was a bright, smiling and warm person with an engaging personality who was always curious and full of questions. She loved talking to people and could tell you about everyone she met including their children, interests, occupation and activities. She was robbed of her mind and personality as Alzheimer’s progressed through her brain, but she will always be remembered for her warmth and kindness.

She will be laid to rest at the Evergreen Cemetery in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Donations may be made to the following: Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Indianapolis Chapter, 8140 Township Line Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46240; Marquette Manor Foundation, 50 E 91st St., Indianapolis, IN 46260; and/or Carmel Clay Historical Society, 211 1st St S.W., Carmel, IN 46032.

Carmel girls win state cross country title

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Depth is always a huge advantage for the Carmel High School cross country program.

Yet, that was just ACHIEVEMENT one factor in the Greyhounds capturing the IHSAA girls team state championship Oct. 31 in Terre Haute. It was the Carmel girls’ first state title since winning seven consecutive championships from 2010 to 2016. Carmel won with 52 points, well ahead of second-place Fort Wayne Carroll’s 77.

“The keys for us this year at state were that the team trusted their training, executed the race plan and relied upon their teammates to do their part,” Greyhounds girls cross country coach Andy Dalton said.

“The entire tournament was a true team performance if I have ever seen one. We had 12 different athletes race at some point, and each week different runners would step up just when they were needed. In terms of strategy, we wanted to get out strong, settle into the pack and then win the second half of the race. The girls did exactly that.”

Dalton said the runners definitely peaked

as the training and racing strategy was planned around trying to perform at their best at the state meet.

“The girls were definitely feeling strong and their legs (were) as rested as possible at the end of a five-month season,” Dalton said.

Senior Annie Christie finished third individually after not making the postseason team last year.

“Annie Christie has been a terrific story all season long, especially given how the 2019 season ended for her,” Dalton said.

“Her performances over the past month were not surprising to any of us on the team. She has been solid all season and performed exactly as she should have each

week as the stakes increased.”

Other Carmel runners in the top 25 were junior Alvia Romaniuk, 15th, freshman Cara Naas 20th, and senior Brooklynn Edwards, 25th.

The state title was Dalton’s first during his four seasons as head coach. He had been part of three previous state titles as an assistant under Mark Ellington.

The Greyhounds’ boys cross country team placed second to Columbus North in the state meet. Sophomore Kole Mathison was the top Carmel runner, finishing third among individuals. Other top Carmel finishers were senior Jacob Fisher, 21st, and junior Charlie Schuman, 25th.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury.

For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Andy Byers is a law-enforcement professional who was involved in an accident while riding his motorcycle. He was struck by a car and a semi-tractor trailer during the incident, sustaining multiple severe injuries. He turned to Methodist Sports Medicine orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Ritter, who reconstructed a portion of Andy’s right shoulder.

FROM THE PATIENT: “I was riding my motorcycle on I-465 near I-69 when a The aftermath of the accident. passenger car entered my lane, striking my left leg and pushing me and my bike into the back of a semi-tractor trailer,” Byers said. “Upon impact with the truck, I was launched in the air and landed about 60 feet away, landing on the pavement, in a different lane of travel. I was transported to a trauma facility in downtown Indianapolis. Some of my injuries included a broken back, broken neck, shattered pelvis, fractured left hip, compound fracture of the left femur, compound fracture of the left tibia and fibula above the ankle, multiple broken ribs, and my right shoulder was damaged with my right collarbone disconnected. I also had internal injuries and internal bleeding.”

“After several months of rehabilitation and learning to walk again, I met with Dr. Mark Ritter at Methodist Sports Medicine at the end of October 2019 for an examination and to find out what he could do to repair my right shoulder. After evaluation, he determined that he could repair my shoulder. Still, he said we should wait for my left leg’s recovery because I needed to walk without the cane in my right hand. I had follow-up appointments prior to surgery, which was scheduled for late May this year.”

“Dr. Ritter and his team did a great job preparing me for surgery and recovery. The shoulder repair was the final surgery to repair the damage done in the crash. Dr. Ritter and his team were very positive and very helpful in explaining the procedure and the recovery process. My recovery has gone great, and I am doing very well.”

FROM THE SURGEON: Dr. Mark Ritter is fellowship trained in orthopedic sports medicine and trauma. He specializes in arthroscopic shoulder and knee reconstruction including cartilage restoration, rotator cuff repairs, complex knee reconstruction, fractures and trauma.

“Mr. Byers had an unfortunate accident and sustained a lot of trauma, including an injury to his dominant shoulder. With immense perseverance, a great attitude, and dedication to rehabilitation, he’s getting back to normal life with the goal of becoming an active law enforcement officer again soon.” - Dr. Mark Ritter

ESSAY

LETTER

Serious play

Proposal disregards residential zoning

Commentary by Terry Anker As fads come and go, human beings remain largely the same. As shifts occur in how we elect to order our societies, human beings remain largely the same.

As cultures adapt to new technologies and new political powers, human beings remain largely the same. As much as we might like to imagine ourselves enlightened, progressing and generally newand-improved, human beings remain largely the same.

Certainly, we have moved out of mud huts. We have learned to read, to catapult ourselves into space and how to tame all manner of wild beast. But still, we require human interaction. Still, we laugh, cry, envy, judge, hope our tribe — however we define it — comes out on top and talk more than we listen. Sure, some days are better than others. And some humans are better than others.

Well, maybe it is better to say that some humans are better than others sometimes and in some circumstances.

To be clear, we, one and all, are flawed and glorious. We build only to destroy. We destroy only to rebuild. We allow our insecurities, angers and needs to occupy our minds and justify our actions. We preen and provoke others even as we reassure ourselves in our righteousness. This is all not to say that we humans are bad. In fact, we are remarkable in our curiosity and hopefulness. We overcome, grow and continue to learn.

Isn’t the real challenge to self-assess once in a while? We can use a good friend, the “Good Book,” or a simple online quiz. Are we our better selves? Are our indulgences going too far? Are we making good use of these few precious years on this planet? Laugh or cry? Run or rest? Even if the game’s the same for a thousand years, shouldn’t we play it like it matters?

One big (happy!) family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s official! I now have 30 — 30 — nieces and nephews! In a year that has been mostly full of downs, I got a rare HUMOR “up” last week when my new godson arrived, complete with a cap of gorgeous red hair (either I was destined to be his fairy godmother or he’s my dad reincarnated!). I’m now past the point where I remember everyone’s birthday and middle name, but I love the fact that I am part of a huge family. Sure, it’s often crazy and frustrating and overwhelming (don’t get me started on holidays), but it’s also exciting and reassuring and sometimes exactly what you need.

I have four siblings, and my husband, Doo, has five. We all have children, and though we’re scattered across the U.S., most of us are here in the Midwest. Astonishingly, we get along. It’s true! I count my in-laws as some of my best friends and my kids say the same thing about many of their cousins.

Even my 22-year-old man-child will happily

spend an afternoon with his preschool “cuz” building Lego’s or playing hide-and-go-seek.

It’s absolutely adorable.

I can’t tell you how much joy I have found in laughing with my sisters, even as our father lost his battle with cancer, or how a weekend with Doo’s clan provided a much-needed distraction from the realities of COVID-19. Surrounding myself with those who know how to make me smile, who don’t care if I look terrible (whenever I shun eyeliner), and who only in extreme circumstances violate my “no hug” rule, is what gets me through hard times.

And those people are now officially “one louder!”

Peace out.

Surrounding myself with those who know how to make me smile, who don’t care if I look terrible (whenever I shun eyeliner), and who only in extreme circumstances violate my “no hug” rule, is what gets me through hard times.

Editor, Another development rezone proposal seeking to override established residential zoning and planning standards is coming soon to the Carmel City Council.

If approved, the Ambleside Point project, located south of 146th Street and east of Towne Road, will shoehorn 260 units into 56.5 acres.

The proposed residential density is 4.6 units per acre, whereas the current S-1 zoning allows a maximum of 1.0 units per acre. The proposal includes 130 townhouses, even though the zoning/planning for the property does not permit townhouses. The proposed single-family lots are as small as 6,000 square feet, whereas the zoned minimum allowable lot size is 15,000 square feet.

Developers will continue to propose projects that are in blatant disregard of established residential zoning regulations and the comprehensive plan so long as the Carmel City Council continues to approve all such proposals.

Carmel residents, please contact the city councilors to let them know that you oppose the Ambleside Point proposal in its current form. Contact information is available at carmel.in.gov.

Dave Fox, Carmel

Pitch perfect World Series recollections Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A few weeks ago, when the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 of the World Series, HUMOR 94-year-old Carl Erskine sat on his couch in Anderson and savored the moment. It had been 32 years since the Dodgers were last victorious in the October Classic, but 65 years since the Hoosier-born pitcher sat in the dugout at Yankee Stadium and watched fellow teammate Johnny Podres defeat the Yankees in Game 7. It was the first time the Dodgers had won the series — ever.

Da Bums, as they were called when the team was in Brooklyn, had faced the Yankees in what seemed like a hundred previous World Series games (four, actually) and lost every time. I called Carl after last week’s game. He was a childhood hero of mine and now a friend.

In addition to Carl, only Roger Craig and Sandy Koufax are still around from that iconic Dodgers team, which included Jackie Robinson.

“The survivors are all pitchers,” observed Carl, who added, “but we must include Vince Scully.”

Now 92, Scully was the Dodgers’ announcer for 67 years and was, according to Carl, “a true poet,” an observation about Scully’s unmatched ability to paint a picture of what was happening on the field, both on TV and radio. Scully once had the temerity to remain silent for 38 seconds while the crowd savored and cheered the end of a

Sandy Koufax perfect game.

Things have changed in baseball. As fans, we may be a little overwhelmed by some of the statistics managers are supplied with (what’s this guy’s batting average on a 3-2 count with men on base with two out in the 7th inning against a left-handed pitcher?

Yeah, computers can do stuff like that).

Carl remembers that the Dodgers had one of the first statisticians back in the ’50s, a guy who kept track of every pitch and at-bat with a variety of symbols he jotted down in his notebook. With no computer to feed the fig— Carl Erskine ures into, the data wasn’t quite so detailed.

“Of course, a lot of this was intuitive, info we simply absorbed from playing and watching the game,” Carl said.

Carl likes to drop names, especially the name of one guy who seldom dropped anything: New York Giants center fielder Willie Mays. Willie once told Carl that he knew every pitch Carl was about to throw because the Giants had a telescope in the center-field stands picking up the signs from the catcher, then transmitting them to batters by waving a small white flag.

Here’s a sign I picked up: Carl Erskine still enjoys the game and he also relishes every moment with Betty, his wife of 73 years. Now, there’s a record that’s hard to beat!

“The survivors are all pitchers.”

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.

Flix reopens on weekends

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dinner at the movies has finally returned.

Flix Brewhouse rePANDEMIC opened Nov. 5 at Merchants’ Square in Carmel with a high-tech air purification system and other enhanced safety protocols, Flix Brewhouse Chief Operating Officer Matthew Baizer said. Flix will be open Thursdays through Sundays.

“After some exhaustive research on air purification options, we settled many months ago on bipolar ionization,” Baizer said. “There wasn’t a supplier problem since we were one of the first businesses to commit to the investment in this solution. The delay was a result of other factors related to the motion picture exhibition industry. In order to have a meaningful reopening, we needed to feel good about the release schedule. While the first-run theatrical release calendar still remains in a constant state of flux,

TACTICS-BASED GOLF TRAINING

we believe we have some compelling program offerings we’ve put together for the residents of Carmel and the greater Indianapolis area to entice them to come back to Flix in a safe manner.”

Flix, which features craft beers from its microbrewery, is a charter member of the CinemaSafe alliance, developed by leading epidemiologists in conjunction with the National Association of Theatre Owners.

Baizer said tough negotiations had to be ironed out with the landlord before reopening.

“Bottom line is that due to the pandemic, the entire cinema exhibition space has now changed, which has altered the fundamental economics of being a successful, long-term movie theater operator,” Baizer said. “We needed to get that right with Merchants’ Square in order to secure a long-term future.”

All nine screens will be open. Flix has a new mobile app where guests can browse seat maps, access their loyalty account and order food.

Tucci’s coming to City Center

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Opening a restaurant in the middle of a global pandemic may not be ideal, but restaurateur Craig BarRESTAURANT num believes the time is right to bring a new fine-dining option to Carmel.

Tucci’s is set to open in the former Langton’s Irish Pub space at Carmel City Center in mid-January 2021. It will be the second location for the restaurant, which has operated in Dublin, Ohio, since 1998.

Tucci’s is owned by CLB Restaurants, the same company that has operated Matt the Miller’s Tavern next door since 2012. Barnum, founder and president of CLB Restaurants, said previous success in Carmel City Center, the addition of Hotel Carmichael next door and confidence that the COVID-19 pandemic will come to an end gives him confidence it makes sense to open Tucci’s soon.

“This (pandemic) is not going to go on forever. I’m hoping next spring to summer things will begin to loosen up and the shows will start again, and people will start

getting back to their lives,” said Barnum, founder of CLB Restaurants. “We’re in this (restaurant business) for the long haul.”

Barnum described Tucci’s as a “very wine-centric” concept that serves fish, steaks, pasta and pizza. He expects the Carmel menu to be similar to the one in Ohio but offer a wider selection of pizza options.

It will open daily at 3 p.m.

Tucci’s will occupy the lower level of the former Langton’s space and have room for approximately 70 diners. CLB Restaurants also owned Langton’s and used some of the upstairs space to create a private banquet room connected to Matt the Miller’s.

What are hammertoes and how can I fix them?

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan If you’ve noticed a bend in your toes that won’t go away, you may have hammertoes.

This painful condition develops because of imbalances in your muscles, PODIATRY tendons or ligaments.

When working properly, your toe stays straight, but when your foot structure, shoe choices, injuries or even illnesses throw your toes off balance, you may notice a crook that remains in place, even when your toes relax. When we talk about hammertoes, it means you have an abnormal bend in your toe’s middle joint. If the bend appears in the joint near your toenail, we call that a mallet toe. This condition can occur with any toe but is less common in the big toe.

Treating hammertoes Surgery is one way to relieve the pain of hammertoes. However, at our office we offer surgery-free pain relief for hammertoes with an in-office procedure known as the flexor tenotomy. This is one of our favorite procedures because the results are immediate. You don’t receive stitches. The site of

the procedure is dressed with a few BandAids and you are able to continue on with your day. Best of all, because we don’t send you to the operating room, you don’t have to worry about serious complications and you’ll save thousands of dollars.

Pain relief for hammertoes The flexor tenotomy is done using local anesthesia and involves piercing the skin on the bottom of the toe, beneath the deformed joint and releasing the tendon that’s keeping the toe contracted. Your results will be dramatic. The toe that once only touched the ground at its tip will now lay flatter, and all that pressure will hit your toe’s fleshy fat pad instead of its bony tip.

After the procedure, your toe will still look bent when at rest but will flatten when you stand and you will experience serious pain relief without surgery.

A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC. Contact him at drs@westfieldfoot.com.

“I’ve never seen the movie or the play, actually,” Marshall-Fisher said. “I’ve seen bits and pieces just to do a little character work. I do want to see it after this. I’m not trying to be Denzel (Washington), Sidney Poitier or Puff Daddy (Sean Combs). I’m trying to be first De’Jon as Walter.”

Westfield Playhouse will present the show from Nov. 12 to Nov. 22 at its new venue at 220 N. Union St. Westfield Playhouse was less than a week away from opening “A Raisin in the Sun” in mid-March when the coronavirus pandemic shut everything down.

“It was an incredible sense of loss,” director Nancy Lafferty said.

Lafferty quickly accepted when Main Street Productions asked if she would direct the show in November.

“This is a play I’ve been waiting to direct for 30 years,” the McCordsville resident said. “The cast and I stayed in touch through the seven months we were off.

They all kept saying they were committed.

We had to start all over. The good news is, everyone knows everyone and we’re stronger because we’re bonded together.”

Marshall-Fisher said everyone was sad when the show shut down.

“Then we got the call we were coming back to do the show in November. We all lost our minds. I know I did,” he said.

true. Everything that went on in the 1950s is still kind of going on now.”

Marshall-Fisher, a professional ax thrower, is happy to be doing the show in the new Westfield Playhouse facility, which opened in August.

Andrea Hardy, an Indianapolis resident, plays Ruth Younger. Hardy was reluctant at first to return to the play.

“The main thing that pushed me was my cast members,” Hardy said. “I was going through my personal situation and I didn’t really feel motivated to come back to it at the time. But just hearing the excitement from cast members, I didn’t want to let them down.”

Moreover, she didn’t want Lafferty to have the stress of trying recast the role.

“I’m glad that I came back,” she said.

“Just seeing everybody and being on stage rehearsing, that has helped me in a positive way, so now I’m back, excited for the show and ready to do it.”

Hardy, 31, started acting at Warren Central High School as a sophomore. She said Warren Central staged “A Raisin in the Sun” shortly after she graduated. When not acting, she serves as a stage manager on shows and a production assistant on film sets.

Sully’s Grill SPONSORED BY

Address: 6955 N. Keystone Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Smoked chicken and Manchego sandwich Price: $12 Anna’s take: I’ve always been a huge fan of hardware stores since I was a child.

When I was growing up, my dad built custom homes, and shopping at hardware stores with him for tools and trinkets is one of my fondest memories. So, when a reader wrote to inform me about Sully’s Grill — a restaurant inside Sullivan’s Hardware Store — I was highly intrigued.

Sully’s Grill has a limited but delectable menu. I started with warm pretzel nuggets ($7), which come with a trio of sauces: cheddar cheese, chipotle romesco and honey Dijon. I’m a total sauce girl, and I love dipping appetizers, so this was one of my favorites. I also tried the autumn squash

salad — a colorful display of delicata squash half rings, assorted squashes, Brussels sprouts, brown rice, pumpkin seeds, cream fraiche and blood orange vinaigrette. The last item I tried was the smoked chicken and Manchego sandwich with arugula, bacon, tomato sauce, chicken, Manchego cheese and a date spread on a baguette.

The bread was soft and delicious and didn’t scratch the roof of my mouth (you know how bread can be sometimes). It was cut into triangle portions instead of squares, and we all know from our childhood days that triangle sandwiches are always better than the square kind.

Sully’s Grill is the perfect spot to stop after shopping for gifts, décor or hardware needs at Sullivan’s. The menu changes seasonally.

Retooling with COVID in mind Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard Is your home suddenly being asked to COVID-19-accomplish a lot more than what was intended? Our kitchREMODELING ens are doing double or triple duty with a printer on the counter and laptops perched on the center island. Who could predict that our new “home office” would be thrust upon us?

And who knew we would actually be incredibly grateful that we could pull it off? Cheers!

Living rooms and screen porches have morphed into classrooms, fitness areas and yoga studios, and those that are teaching/ officing from home are stretched and bursting at the drywall seams. Emotionally, too!

Solutions Fortunately, there are inspiring solutions, and they vary considerably from family-to-family, based upon unique circumstances and the home layout.

Escape

Sometimes, the solution is simply to accept the fact that one or two areas of the home will be multitasking for a while and focus on creating a space to escape to. How about an updated spa bathroom? You may find yourself taking several bathroom breaks a day. Or finally moving forward with the kitchen remodel you have always dreamed of? Are there any areas that we can finish out that was previously dismissed — a small nook under the stairs, attic space that suddenly seems like a reasonable hidden library/ office or nasty corner of the basement could actually behave if given a chance?

Interesting environments call for creative thinking and solutions. And gratitude. Stay well.

FALL FUN for TEENS

Arkadi Monastery, near Rethymno, Crete (Photo by Don Knebel)

A symbol of independence Commentary by Don Knebel

The Arkadi Monastery is about 14 miles southeast of Rethymno, Crete, the largest and most populous of the TRAVEL Greek Islands. In much the way the Alamo Mission became the symbol of an independent Texas, the Arkadi Monastery became the symbol of an independent Crete.

In 1587, the Venetians, who had controlled Crete since 1212, restored the deteriorating Arkadi Monastery and built a two-nave Renaissance church on its grounds. After the Ottoman Empire conquered Crete in 1669, much of the population converted to Islam.

However, the majority-Christian population chafed under Muslim rule. In May 1866, about 1,500 Christians formed a revolutionary war counsel and appointed Gabriel Marinakis, the Abbot of the Arkadi Monastery, among its leaders. When Marinakis refused calls to abandon the rebellion, the ruling sultan sent a reported 15,000 men and 30 cannons to carry out his threat to destroy the monastery, which was storing munitions. On Nov. 6, 1866, the sultan’s forces surrounded the monastery, with 964 people inside, the ma-

jority of them women and children. Although the greatly outnumbered men inside the walled monastery inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers, they broke through the western gate on Nov. 9. As Marinakis had ordered them to do, the women and children ran to the gunpowder storeroom, where they blew themselves up to avoid being captured.

A bullet killed Marinakis on the last day of fighting. The attackers cut off his head and paraded it around Crete.

The heroism at the Arkadi Monastery became an international rallying cry for an independent Crete, which became independent in 1898 and part of Greece in 1913.

Today, the Arkadi Monastery is among the most-visited sites on Crete. A museum on the grounds includes information and artifacts from the “Arkadi Holocaust.” The skulls of more than 60 victims of the suicidal explosion are displayed on shelves.
