Fishers man joins Indiana State Police — Benjamin Beyler was one of 36 probationary troopers who graduated from the 80th Indiana State Police Academy Dec. 19. Eight of those troopers, including Beyler, were assigned to the Indiana State Police Post in Indianapolis. Probationary troopers will start the next phase of instruction, which is a three-month field training period where they ride with veteran troopers.

Law enforcement agencies using new tool for impaired driving — The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute recently provided 52 Indiana law enforcement agencies with a new roadside tool to identify drug-impaired drivers. The device is called SoToxa

Weaver said the number of doses the state receives in the coming weeks and months will determine when the next groups can receive vaccines, and that it’s unlikely the state would expand vaccine availability to other groups before February.

Should all residents 60 and older be immunized, 22.5 percent of all Hoosiers would be vaccinated, according to the IDH. People 60 and older account for 64.1 percent of all state COVID-19 hospitalizations and 93.3 percent of all COVID-19 deaths.

State health officials said at least one vaccination clinic will be available in every county, totaling 148 statewide, including 55 hospital sites, 91 local health departments and two pharmacy locations in Newton and Posey counties. Additional groups, such as people with underlying health conditions, will be added as more vaccine doses become available, according to officials. Updates will be posted at ourshot.in.gov.

State health officials said the age-focused approach will save the most lives and reduce hospitalizations, thus easing the burden on the state’s health care system, which has been strained by a surge in COVID-19 cases since the Thanksgiving holiday. Health officials warn similar surges could be seen following the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

COVID-19 cases in the state have retreated from previous record highs set after Thanksgiving, but state officials are concerned by the thousands of new cases reported each day. Nearly 3,000 residents were hospitalized as of Jan. 4.

Mobile Test System. It is a handheld analyzer that uses an oral fluid swab to detect the presence of six kinds of drugs: cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, cannabis, amphetamine and benzodiazepines. Officers began using the devices in the field this month in response to the emergence of drugged driving taking place in the state and nationwide. According to a 2018 Governors Highway Safety Association report, 44 percent of fatally injured drivers with known results tested positive for drugs in 2016, up from 28 percent a decade ago. Of those drivers, 38 percent tested positive for some form of marijuana, 16 percent tested positive for opioids and 4 percent tested positive for both marijuana and opioids.

Club donates to counseling center news@currentinfishers.com The Westfield Lions Club has donated $1,500 to the Cabin Counseling and Resource Center, a nonGIVING BACK profit offering therapy and resources to its clients. It has locations in Westfield and Zionsville.

The funds came from the club’s annual Christmas meeting, which was held on Zoom this year. Each year, the club collects donations at the Christmas meeting and the club president chooses a local nonprofit to receive the funds. The nonprofit is announced after the donations are received.

Westfield Lions Club President Anna Skinner selected the Cabin as the recipient of this year’s donations.

“The Cabin Counseling and Resource Center has an incredibly unique model in which it utilizes dollars from The Samaritan Fund, a fund created to subsidize counseling fees for clients who cannot afford the services,” said Skinner, a Fishers resident. “I myself have been a client of Cabin resources for several months and am a testament to how helpful and compassionate these folks are.

From left, Westfield Lions Club President Anna Skinner, therapist Laura Weaver and therapist Anne Collins. (Submitted photo)

The pandemic has caused a rise of mental health struggles in countless people, and so it was my desire to give back to this organization that has helped me and so many others.”

The Westfield Lions Club donation will support more than 21 hours of care for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, addiction and suicidality. In 2020, more than 200 individ- uals were directly affected by the $182,000 of Samaritan Fund assistance.

HAND proposes project in Fishers for workforce housing

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development is doing its part to lend a hand to people with housing needs.

HAND, a Noblesville-based nonprofit that addresses the housing needs of low- and moderate-income individuals, families and senior citizens, wants to bring its next project to the intersection of 141st Street and Cumberland Road in Fishers. A rezone request for 2 acres on the southwest side of 141st Street and Cumberland Road was proposed at the December Fishers City Council meeting. If approved, the request will become Cumberland Cottages, 11 detached cottages facing a central green and designated for families or single parents.

HAND officials are informing the public about the project and what the term “affordable housing” actually means.

“One of the main things we do is develop housing that folks on the lower end of the income spectrum can afford,” HAND Executive Director Andrea Davis said. “Most people call it affordable housing, but Davis that conjures some negative images in people’s minds, so there are lots of different ways to describe it — affordable, attainable or workforce housing.”

Davis said many residents, such as those working at restaurants or grocery stores or as cashiers, can’t afford to rent or buy a home in Hamilton County. A basic rule of thumb is that rent or mortgage should not be than 30 percent of a person’s income.

“If you factor in the standard of you shouldn’t spend more than 30 percent of your income on housing, there’s a lot of housing out of reach for folks,” Davis said.

“One of our goals is to try to identify properties where we could build affordable communities or existing properties we could take and make affordable, like an older apartment complex, for example, that hasn’t been invested in.”

HAND has eight properties throughout

duplexes for seniors.

The zoning for the Cumberland Cottages site is low density, meaning one or two units is approved per acre. Becasue HAND is requesting 11 units on 2 acres, a rezone request is required. The proposed cottages will be approximately 1,200 square feet, but the design hasn’t been completed because HAND is trying to get the property rezoned.

The cottages might have carports instead of garages for cost savings. The rent has not been determined for each unit, but the figure depends on what the construction costs are and what types of funding HAND receives for the project. The cottages will be rented based on what the residents’ income is.

Depending on income, some units may cost up to 40 percent of the median rent rate, while others could be up to 50 and 60 percent. Some could even be rented at market rate. The market-rate cottages would not have more features or more space than the subsidized structures.

Davis said HAND has received comments from parents who can’t afford properties costing $1,500 to $1,800 a month in Hamilton County.

At the December Fishers City Council meeting, council member Selina Stoller expressed concern that the proposed Cumberland Cottage units are for rent instead of for sale. Stoller said she supports the idea of providing affordable housing but would like to see those in need have a chance to eventually own their own home instead of perpetually paying rent.

HAND Executive Director Andrea Davis said most families in need of affordable housing can’t get approved for a mortgage.

“This is intended to serve families that just need a bit more stable financial footing to move onto the next thing,” she said. “One of the concerns we heard from council is there are a lot of rentals in Fishers and they want more for-sale housing. While that is an absolutely valid point, folks we are talking about serving in this community are probably not able to go to the bank and apply for a mortgage and get it. They don’t have credit or savings, so our hope is by living in an affordable property like this for a couple years, they can get savings set away and figure out budgeting. If you have that huge burden overhead of about 80 percent of your paycheck is going to rent, then you’re never able to save.

That’s the reality.

“People hear affordable housing and think it’s full of freeloaders, but this is a hand up for folks to let them get their stuff to together so they hopefully can move onto homeownership.”

“We are thinking this project will target young families, single parents or grandparents raising grandchildren,” Davis said. “It’s a 100 percent family housing development, so we are pretty excited about that. We try to identify the needs of our community and then try to meet them.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Managing expectations

2020 lessons

Commentary by Terry Anker By now, the seasonal gifts have all been revealed. The ones repeatedly delayed in delivery have found their way to our doors, mostly intact. Holiday cards are presented upon the mantle for a week or two longer. Colleagues, neighbors and suppliers greeted us with smiles and the occasional tin of cookies as a token of their esteem and goodwill. Our waistlines have reached their peak with the promise of a better diet and more activity in the coming weeks to hasten the decline to our formerly aspired girth. Such is the story of every new year.

Still, the echo of the season doesn’t resonate the same with everyone. Some of us tore into our gifts to find them resplendent and abundant with an excess of all hopes, while others removed shiny printed paper only to discover meager rations and disappointment. We smiled politely and reassured the giver. Inside, we longed for more. Whether the Red Ryder BB gun, the end to the pandemic, victory in the ongoing and seemingly endless elections or a pretty little pony, we didn’t get what we wanted and are not happy about it.

And for those of us who found stockings filled with great plenty, we aren’t entirely satisfied, either. Sure, the toys are fun for a moment, until we notice that they aren’t quite as good as the commercials on television might suggest.

Why doesn’t GI Joe’s “action grip” hands actually grip? Exactly when will we get the COVID-19 vaccine, and will it work for us? Does absolute political power make problems go away, or, if anything, does it only change the nature of them? The pony was fun on Christmas morning, but after bragging to our friends about getting one, well, not so much now. Can you believe how expensive and full of you-know-what they are?

Oh, for not crying out loud Commentary by Danielle Wilson To cry or not to cry? Or more to the point, to cry or not to cry in front of your children?

That is the question that has HUMOR been receiving quite a bit of attention in our household of late. According to our four kids, Doo and I are relatively good parents, but the one area where we have definitely failed is in the modeling of vulnerability.

It’s not a surprising accusation, really.

Doo grew up in a world where men simply didn’t cry, and so he doesn’t. And though I do get emotional, it’s a rarity that very few will ever witness. I’m half British and spent a couple of years in the military — stoicism is my thing, at least until I reach the safety of a vacant bathroom or minivan. I’m also terrible when dealing with others who are sharing deep feelings. I either flee or make an inappropriate four-letter-word joke. And god forbid if hugs are called for. Blech.

The problem is that my now young-adult

offspring don’t know how to express heartache or sorrow in a healthy way. They’ve never seen it done, not by me or Doo. And they’ve finally called us out on it, elaborating incessantly on this shortcoming over the last month: “We need therapy, Mom!” OK, Doo and I figured our heirs would seek professional help at some point.

They’ve grown up with a left-leaning redheaded mother who suppresses her emotions and a right-leaning bald father who battles ADD. But how to show grief? I didn’t see that one coming.

In answer to my previous question, then, absolutely cry in front of your children!

Peace out.

Editor, We are all excited about 2020 coming to an end, but let’s not forget the good and the lessons learned.

We confirmed that our political leaders can work together, albeit at the very last minute after bickering like adolescent monsters.

We learned that diversity and inclusion remain a chronic social issue, ignored by many and not given the correct cultural, religious, political and business entity prioritization.

We learned that no one person knows all, and that one person can almost destroy the social fabric of our country.

We learned (that) collectively, government and public and private sectors can rally to achieve an unimaginable feat in developing a vaccine for COVID-19, breaking all estimated time frames.

We learned the media has too much influence and is intentionally destroying our culture and respect for each other.

We learned that our first responders, doctors, nurses and all medical professionals should be Time Magazine’s Person/People of the Year.

We learned that Zoom is a communication lifesaver.

We learned masks save lives.

We learned we need to pray more.

We learned that what we learned we need to remember in 2021.

Derek Gryna, Carmel

A chilling tale of the basement fridge Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

OUR PROMISE

LIC# CO51300008

A smile and quality, honest work.

We will continue to wear PPE when we service a customer’s home for as long as it takes.

HowaldHeatingAndAir.com (4328)

When we got married and were planning our future, we decided one would be enough, although many of HUMOR our friends had two. Two was never in our plans, but things happen. We ended up keeping the older one in the basement.

Yes, we have two refrigerators.

This would seem like more than enough space for cold foods, right? But we never seem to have room in the kitchen fridge, and we’re always arguing over which edible items should be kept where.

“Dick, I am rearranging things,” Mary Ellen said. “I’m putting your sauerkraut and mustard in the downstairs fridge so I have room for my fresh spinach and my giant Naked Juice bottles.”

“Wait! I don’t want to go downstairs every time I need mustard and sauerkraut for my hot dogs.”

“Why not? You’re going to have to go downstairs, anyway, to get those hot dogs.

I moved them yesterday.”

“What? You moved my hot dogs? How would you like it if I moved your almond

milk to the other fridge?”

“You try that, and you can say adios to your huge jar of salsa.”

Mary Ellen and I then had a cordial discussion about rearranging some of our other personal favorites. She agreed to move her broccoli downstairs and keep my rotisserie chicken upstairs, and I agreed to transfer my White Castle burgers to the downstairs freezer so there was room for Mary Ellen’s frozen yogurt bars in the kitchen.

“I found a yummy piece of leftover corned beef. I hoped it would taste as good as it did on St Patrick’s Day.” But then, Mary Ellen wanted to move all my chilled beer downstairs.

“Six beers take up an entire shelf,” she said.

“Yes, and they take up most of my Sunday when I watch football on TV. Upstairs.”

We often have leftovers that waste space as they get pushed to the back and forgotten about. I got very excited the day

after Christmas when I was rummaging through the shelves. I found a yummy piece of leftover corned beef. I hoped it would taste as good as it did on St Patrick’s Day. Mary Ellen was in a rearranging mood.

While I was in my downstairs office, I saw her struggling with her arms full of coats as she descended the staircase.

“Now what are you doing?”

“I’m rearranging all our spring jackets, moving them from the hall closet to the basement clothing rack. After I bring the winter coats upstairs, I want you to help me move the leather reading chair to the guest room, and let’s put your grandfather’s desk back in the corner of the master bedroom.”

“I hate moving things around. Unlike you, I am a creature of habit. How did we ever end up together? Do you think it was by chance?”

“Heavens, no. It was arranged.”

Add a podiatrist to your care team Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Almost 10 percent of people in this country have diabetes. That’s why it is important to understand the two DIABETES types of diabetes, their risk factors and how diabetes can affect the feet. It also is crucial to create a diabetic health care team of specialists – including a podiatrist – if you are diagnosed with diabetes.

Diabetes risk factors Type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes develops because the pancreas produces insufficient or no insulin. Risk factors include genes, age, family, certain viruses or environmental factors.

With Type 2 diabetes, the body loses the ability to metabolize sugar. Some Type 2 diabetics become resistant to insulin. Others can’t produce enough insulin. Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include genetics as well as obesity and living a sedentary lifestyle.

Diabetic foot complications Diabetics can end up losing toes or feet to amputation because high blood sugar levels and poor circulation, combined with nerve damage and infections, increase the

risk for non-healing diabetic foot ulcers.

Other foot complications include neuropathy and Charcot foot. Neuropathy is nerve damage that causes tingling, numbness and pain in the hands and feet. Charcot foot is a deformity that develops when nerve damage to the foot or ankle contributes to the breakdown of joints.

Adding a podiatrist to your diabetic care team To prevent complications of the feet, diabetics should check their feet every day, look for any rough skin, red patches, blisters or nicks and cuts. They also should check between the toes and use a mirror (or ask for help) to check the backs and bottoms of their feet. Any problems should be checked right away to prevent small injuries from turning into ulcers.

Diabetics also need a foot exam at least once a year or more by a podiatrist.

ATI co-founders determine timing right to revisit ‘Alabama Story’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founders figured the climate from the 2020 protests over racial PERFORMANCE injustice presented the right opportunity to revisit its 2019 production of “Alabama Story.”

With the pandemic curtailing live performances, ATI is presenting a pay-per-view stream of a recorded performance from Jan. 18 to Feb. 14.

The play, written by Kenneth Jones, is based on the true story of a state senator who wanted the Alabama Public Library to remove a children’s book, “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” which depicts a black and white rabbit getting married. The legislator believed the book promoted interracial marriage and wanted the book banned.

ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins played the role of Alabama state librarian and Indiana native Emily Wheelock Reed, who resisted the censorship in 1959.

“There will always be racists in this country and around the world spreading hate,” Collins said. “The year 2020 brought much of that to light, as did the Civil Rights movement, opening the eyes of some and further closing the eyes of others. Through education, patience and persistence, good will prevail over evil.

“It is always important to keep the conversation alive in regard to racism, not to cover it up, not to pretend it doesn’t exist in your community. ‘Alabama Story’ shows us all of these things.”

Collins said it was an important role for her for many reasons, including bringing a real person to life on stage who did everything within her power to stop the banning of a book.

“In her way, Emily Reed fought a very difficult battle against a very racist community,” she said. “This was a woman in 1959 in the South fighting white men, white men in power. To me, that is always significant. As an actor, I was honored to

portray her and relish in roles like this, written so beautifully by playwright Kenneth Jones.”

Maeghan Looney, who is based in Chicago but living in Ft. Wayne during the pandemic, played the role of Lily, a white woman who reconnects with a Black man she knew as a child.

“I was moved by the production and by the audience reaction to it,” Looney said.

“Many people left with tears in their eyes.

Had I been a spectator and not a performer, I still would have thought about this show and its message many times over the course of 2020.”

Looney said the subject matter is important to examine.

“Our world view is shaped by our own experience,” she said. “You can be deeply empathetic and still not fully comprehend the impact of an experience until you’ve lived it. The events that ignited the explosive outcry over racial inequality in America this year were not isolated. Racism didn’t go away after 1960. More than once, a patron leaving the auditorium relayed how connected they felt to my character,

Lily, and I think most of us were Lily this year, overwhelmed, wanting to help but not sure how.

“But like her, we were all given opportunities to listen, take initiative to educate ourselves to not turn a blind eye because it was more comfortable, and to examine how our own behavior might not represent the best of us. Yes, I believe things will hit differently upon a second viewing after the events of this year, and I hope the lessons there continue to inspire growth.”

Sam Arce, a Broadway investor and Carmel resident, saw the opening night show of “Alabama Story” and was moved.

Arce said ATI co-founder Don Farrell’s performance as the segregationist senator was remarkable because the role is so far removed from who he is.

Arce was reminded of growing up watching Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a segregationist during the 1960s and ’70s.

He plans to watch the performance with his son, Sammy, a Carmel High School freshman.

“I think it will be just another good learning point for him,” Arce said. “Nowadays, it’s important we have these discussions. You could see a lot of emotions when people were talking to the cast after the show.”

Arts advocate Frank Basile supported the play’s message in a November 2019 speech at the grand opening of the building housing the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, pointing out how Vonnegut advocated against literary censorship and supported social justice.

A fan of ATI musicals, Basile said he was surprised to learn ATI was doing the serious play.

“My wife Katrina and I attended the play, not knowing what to expect,” Basile said.

“We were absolutely stunned and moved by the superb acting of the ATI players. I am happy to see that the play will now be streamed since it addresses a topic that is even more relevant today.”

Tickets are $35. For more, visit atistage. org.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 303 E.

The brunch menu is available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.

to 3 p.m. Sunday. I ordered the Breakfast Sammy sandwich, which includes a chicken sausage patty, scrambled eggs, white cheddar and garlic-tomato mayo on a bun with a side of hash browns. It was the perfect savory meal to enjoy for a late breakfast.

Among other items, the brunch menu includes steak and eggs, sourdough pancakes and oatmeal. The brunch menu differs from the lunch and dinner menu.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern updates to Indy Basement Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• In the basement, carpet was replaced with luxury vinyl plank flooring and the stairwell was updated with new treads and balusters.

• A wet bar was added to the space and features a sink, refrigerator and plenty of storage.

• Wall-mounted cabinets and shelves create the illusion of a floating entertainment center.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling; email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. Visit caseindy. com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

THE CHALLENGE Before the owners purchased this 1991 home at Lake Clearwater, they planned several updates of the interior to fit their modern tastes. This is Part 1 of a three-part series.

Burj Al Arab: A “seven-star” hotel in the Middle East Commentary by Don Knebel

hotel or one of its nine associated restaurants serving truffles and caviar, including Al Muntaha (The Ultimate), which is cantilevered more than 600 feet above the Persian Gulf and reached by elevator, and Al Mahara (The Oyster), reached by a simulated submarine ride and including one of the hotel’s three aquariums. Many of the hotel guests arrive by helicopter, landing on a heliport near the top of the hotel, or in one of the white Rolls-Royce limousines maintained by the hotel. Because of its unparalleled extravagance, the Burj Al Arab Hotel has been called the world’s only seven-star hotel, two notches above the highest official hotel rating.

The Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) Hotel has become the symbol of Dubai and the best example of its over-thetop architecture and lifestyle. With rooms TRAVEL starting at $1,500 a night, it is frequently called the most luxurious hotel in the world.

The Burj, which opened in 1999 at an estimated cost of $1 billion, is on a small man-made island in the Persian Gulf about 900 feet northwest of Jumeirah Beach, connected to the mainland by a causeway. Its uniquely curved shape evokes the sail of a dhow, a traditional Arabian (and Indian) water vessel. At 918 feet, the Burj is the fourth-tallest hotel in the world, accommodating a 600-foot closed atrium, said to be the tallest in the world. The hotel includes 202 two-story suites, ranging in size from 1,800 square feet to 8,400 square feet, each including a marble staircase to upstairs bedrooms featuring mattresses filled with eiderdown, the soft feathers eiders use to line their Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. nests.
