Hoosiers 50 and older eligible for COVID vaccines

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Indiana State Dept. of Health announced March 3 that Hoosiers 50 and older are now PANDEMIC eligible to receive a free COVID-19 vaccination.

The state’s decision to open eligibility to more Indiana residents came days before a solemn mileHolcomb stone: On March 6, 2020, the state identified its first confirmed case of COVID-19.

“Yes, we have been through a lot together, and we are going to get out of this together,” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said during a March 3 virtual press briefing. “We are pointed in that direction.”

Through a federal pharmacy program teachers are now eligible to receive vaccinations. They can only register at Kroger, Meijer and Walmart stores. According to the Biden administration, teachers will begin receiving vaccinations by the end of the month.

Due to limited vaccine allotments, Indiana has prioritized health care workers, longterm care residents, first responders and residents with specific comorbidities in its vaccination rollout. Hoosiers 50 and older account for more than 35.3 percent of the state’s population, yet they represent 80 percent of statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations and 97.6 percent of statewide COVID-19 deaths.

To our valued readers: Current remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we will continue our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will

According to the ISDH, residents ages 50 to 59 are 30 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than people 20 to 29 and are four times more likely to be hospitalized.

During a March 3 virtual press conference, state health officials said they plan to continue using an age-based approach and will vaccinate Hoosiers 40 and older incrementally when supply allows. Hoosiers with additional comorbidities not currently eligible also will be part of the next eligible group.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said that vaccine eligibility could be extended to people 40 and older by mid-March, depending on supplies.

Residents 40 to 49 are at a three times higher risk of developing a severe illness compared to Indiana residents ages 20 to 29, according to the ISDH. Indiana residents 40 and older account for 91 percent of Hoosiers with comorbidities and more than 50 percent of teachers.

On March 2, 82,000 Hoosiers ages 55 to 59 scheduled a vaccination appointment, Holcomb said. As of March 3, 70 percent of Hoosiers 80 and older had been vaccinated or were scheduled to get a vaccination. The same is true for 71 percent of Hoosiers ages 70 to 79, 56 percent ages 60 to 69 and 28 percent of ages 55 to 59.

Dr. Lindsay Weaver, the ISDH’s chief medical officer, said Indiana’s initial allotment of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine made mass vaccination sites more feasible in Indiana because the vaccine requires one shot. Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19

vaccines require two shots. State health officials reported March 3 Indiana would not receive another shipment of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines for at least three weeks.

To schedule a vaccine appointment, visit ourshot.in.gov and select a location from one of nearly 390 clinics across the state.

Hoosiers who do not have a computer or cellphone or those who need assistance scheduling an appointment can call 2-1-1 or contact one of Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging or AARP. Nearly 70 libraries across the state also are helping Hoosiers schedule appointments.

Vaccination clinics that are part of the federal vaccine program, including those at Meijer and Kroger, appear on the clinic map at ourshot.in.gov but are scheduled through those retailers’ platforms, not through the state’s centralized system.

As of March 3, 1,031,266 individuals had received a first dose of vaccine in Indiana and 608,638 were fully vaccinated. Although residents are being vaccinated at a faster rate due to increased allotments, state officials caution the pandemic is far from over.

“We will also be reminded that pandemics are hard to defeat, that viruses mutate and present many challenges just when we think the worst is behind us, and that even positive trends like those that we have seen in recent weeks don’t signal that we’re out of the woods and that life could return to pre-pandemic normalcy,” Box said.

“But there are a lot of positive trends to celebrate.”

Hamilton County adds commercial court for business-related cases

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After a successful test run elsewhere in Indiana, Hamilton County has added a commercial court to LEGAL SYSTEM handle certain business-related cases more efficiently and predictably for all involved.

Hamilton County’s commercial court launched Jan. 1. All commercial court cases filed in the county are handled by Superior Court Brown 2 Judge Jonathan Brown, who specialized in business litigation before taking the bench in 2017.

“The goal is to have predictable resolutions for business disputes,” Brown said.

“From a business person’s perspective, they want to know how their litigation is going to turn out, and they don’t want to spend a whole lot of time getting there.”

Commercial courts streamline the litigation process by following a template outlined by the Indiana Supreme Court, such as scheduling a case management conference soon after a case is filed, issuing orders to

protect confidential business information and listing commercial court orders in a searchable database. Only certain types of cases are eligible, and plaintiffs and defendants must agree to handling the matter in commercial court for it to be heard there.

Eric Schmadeke, an attorney with Carmel-based Densborn Blachly, litigated several cases in commercial court during the state’s initial rollout beginning in 2017 and advocated for it to expand to Hamilton Schmadeke County.

He said many of his clients prefer commercial court because the structured process leads to cost savings and quicker resolution.

“It makes your worst days in business a little less bad. If a client ends up in a law-

suit, the business and its lawyers want to be in front of a judicial officer who is familiar with the realities of modern commercial operations,” Schmadeke said. “Judges are people too, and like all of us, there is a certain amount of expertise you get with repetition. This allows businesses in Hamilton County to have a forum where there’s going to be a judge that has a deeper understanding of the issues particular to commercial litigation.”

Brown, whose caseload consists mostly of matters outside of commercial court, said he expects the program to continue expanding across the state. Other counties to recently launch commercial courts are Madison, St. Joseph and Vigo. The first commercial courts in Indiana were established in Allen, Elkhart, Vanderburgh, Floyd, Lake and Marion counties.

“Judges are people too, and like all of us, there is a certain amount of expertise you get with repetition. This allows businesses in Hamilton County to have a forum where there’s going to be a judge that has a deeper understanding of the issues particular to commercial litigation.”

– ERIC SCHMADEKE, AN ATTORNEY WITH CARMEL-BASED DENSBORN BLACHLY

WHAT’S ELIGIBLE FOR COMMERCIAL COURT? Only certain types of cases may be considered for Indiana’s commercial court system. Acceptable cases include those related to: • The formation, governance or dissolution of a business • Disputes regarding rights or obligations between or among owners, shareholders, etc.

• Trade secrets/confidential information • Franchise or dealer relationships • Unfair trade practices • False advertising • Cases not eligible for commercial court include: • Consumer claims • Most environmental claims • Personal injury • Most employment law • Federal or state law-based discrimination • Criminal cases • Eminent domain

“The key things people have to be mindful of is the security is all about moving through quickly and efficiently,” Lopez said. “When you have backups with security, that’s a way you see a more difficult situation from the COVID perspective.

All food is individually packaged and there are no more soda refills. Fans must wear face masks except when eating and drinking, which is only permitted in seats, Lopez said.

Pacers ticket holders follow an email link for health screening before the game.

“We want to encourage fans to open up their emails from us once they purchase tickets,” Lopez said.

Hamilton County Health Dept. switches to Pfizer

OneZone, Current Publishing to partner on magazine-style publication

news@currentinfishers.com

news@currentinfishers.com

The Hamilton County Health Dept. began administering the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine March 2. Previously, it administered the Moderna vaccine, but the Indiana State Dept. of Health PANDEMIC asked the health department to make the switch so it could utilize Moderna vaccines on mobile units in rural areas.

The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at minus 94 degrees, which makes it more difficult to transport. The ISDH provided the HCHD with ultra-low storage for the Pfizer vaccine.

The state also receives more doses of Pfizer, which will allow the HCHD to administer more doses. The Walker clinic at the 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St, Noblesville, is one of the busiest clinics in the state. The switch from Moderna to Pfizer will allow the clinic to vaccinate up to 3,540 people a week. It is currently vaccinating 1,200 people per week with Moderna.

“It’s going to be a challenging few weeks as we transition, but we welcome the challenge,” stated Christian Walker, HCHD emergency preparedness coordinator. “It means we’ll be able to get more vaccines into the arms of more Hoosiers.”

The switch does not affect those who received their first doses of Moderna at the 4-H Fairgrounds. The health department will provide second doses of Moderna through the end of this month.

OneZone Chamber of Commerce and Current Publishing have partnered to produce an annual magazine-style publication for ANNOUNCEMENT consumers and members in Fishers and Carmel. The first edition will be delivered by Current to 63,289 households in Fishers and Carmel on June 22.

“I see this as an incredible partnership to connect our business community to the residents of Carmel and Fishers,” stated Jack Russell, president and CEO of OneZone. “In this magazine, the readers will learn more about our initiatives, program, advocacy work and, of course, our members.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with Jack and OneZone on this special publication,” stated Steve

Greenberg, Current co-founder and co-owner. “This represents a real opportunity for synergy between OneZone, its membership and the best consumer audience anywhere in Indiana. We’re all focused on providing a magazine that will make a difference.”

Current will help OneZone create compelling, informative content for the magazine, as well as handle all design and production. Additionally, Current also is partnering with OneZone to sell memberships to those who have interest in joining the region’s powerhouse chamber.

“We believe that partnerships like this, with Current, creates value to our members and helps residents learn more about the amazing business community in their own backyard,” Russell stated.

1888 a busy year for the Fishers Town Council Commentary by Robert Bowling Fishers certainly lived up to its reputation as a lawless town when it made national headlines in 1881, with the “most disgraceful affair BACK IN THE DAY that has ever been enacted in this county.” The Battle of Mudsock, as it came to be known, showed what happens when saloons go unchecked. Fishers Station, as it was called then, became synonymous with lawlessness.

At around the time Fishers Station was incorporated as a town, the newly formed town council set to work on establishing law and order by passing a series of new laws. June 21, 1888, was a busy day as the council passed the first eight ordinances.

The first ordinance was a prohibition on the use of profanity. It is hard to fathom that a town, where insulting the quality of one’s whiskey could lead to a brawl, actually believed they had a chance to stop people from using obscenities. There was no specific penalty, but violators would be “dealt with as the law directs.” Fall Creek Township had a similar law. Abraham Helms, the first elected justice of the peace, resigned his position because of the law. He knew that no law could stop people from using obscenities, not to mention something called the First Amendment. He heard his fair share of obscenities throughout the township at various events. Instead of arresting his neighbors and fining them, his conscience forced himself to resign.

The next three ordinances were an attempt to regulate the saloons and alcohol consumption that contributed to the town’s less-than-stellar reputation. Alcohol was not to be sold unless a permit had been issued by the council. A permit cost $100, almost

$3,000 in 2020.

The third ordinance tried to curb underage consumption. Anyone who provided alcohol to persons under 21 would be fined no more than $100 and no less than $20. In some ways, Fishers was a progressive town considering that the National Minimum Drinking Age Act wasn’t passed until 1984.

Perhaps the ordinance that was violated more than any other might have been the fourth: public intoxication. Violations were a whopping $5.

The fifth ordinance prevented people from riding their horses on the sidewalk or hitching a horse to anything other than the public racks. The last thing the town needed was for people to drive their horses drunk from the saloon. The fine was no more than $5.

Religion was an important part of the town, although many referred to it as “Devil’s Land.” The sixth ordinance punished anyone who disturbed any religious meeting.

The fine was not to exceed $50.

The seventh ordinance fined people $5 for jumping on moving trains. Lawmakers always take the fun out of everything.

And the last ordinance fined anyone who was caught fighting or disturbing the peace. It was probably another money maker as well.

In less than a year, the ordinance banning the use of profanity was repealed and it would be a couple more years before any new laws were passed.

Robert Bowling is a retired Fishers Police Dept. officer who is a high school criminal justice teacher. As an officer, he was the department’s first historian. Since retirement, he has served as a board member for the Ambassador House and the newly formed Fishers Historical Society, where he also serves as historian.

Divers help lead Fishers to second-place finish in state

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School’s divers proved to be a springboard for the boys swimming and diving team’s success this SWIMMING season.

On the strength of its divers, Fishers edged Zionsville by 2 1/2 points to win the Hoosier Crossroads Conference title, which became a springboard success at the IHSAA swimming and diving meet.

“We knew going into the state meet that we were going to need our divers to score points,” Fishers coach Joe Keller said. “I told our guys that if we scored 30 points in diving, we really felt that would give us a shot at 200 points. We thought that would be a magic number (to place second). Those (divers) came through and scored 37 points.

That was a huge difference-maker.”

The Tigers finished with 198 1/2 points to finish second in the Feb. 27 boys state finals, ahead of third-place Zionsville with 189 1/2. Carmel won its seventh consecutive state title with 360 points at the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI.

Fishers High School swimmers Jackson Carlile, left, and Kyle Ponsler hold the state runner-up trophy. (Submitted photo)

Fishers junior William Jansen was second in 1-meter diving. Junior Sebastian Otero placed sixth and freshman Jack Roby was 10th.

Senior Jackson Carlile won the 500-yard

freestyle title and junior teammate Kyle Ponsler was second.

“The guys had a good game plan and executed the race well,” Keller said. “Jackson is now the third-fastest 500 freestyler in state history and Kyle is the fifth fastest. It took that performance to get it done.”

Carlile, a member of the U.S. Junior National Team who will swim for Indiana University next season, was second to state record holder Jake Mitchell, a 2020 Carmel High School graduate, in the 500 freestyle in the 2020 state finals.

Carlile overcame a bout of mononucleosis at the start of the season, which lingered into January.

“He showed perseverance and fortitude,” Keller said. “We had some days where we had to back off training and give him a day just because of his illness. For him to do what he did is a real testament to who he is as a person.”

Carlile and Ponsler were members of Fishers’ 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay teams. The 200 freestyle relay placed third with Carlile’s brother, Connor Carlile, a sophomore, and junior Reed Beaumont.

The 400 freestyle relay placed fourth and

included Connor Carlile and senior Tyler Schwertfeger.

“Everyone was able to get their job done,” Keller said.

Jackson Carlile tied for fourth in the 100 freestyle. Ponsler was fourth in the 200 individual medley.

Keller also said crucial to the team score was the 200 medley relay qualifying for the final and finishing eighth.

The Fishers girls also finished second in the Feb. 13 swimming and diving state meet, led by state champion diver Morgan Casey.

The girls also sent three divers to the state meet with two making the finals. Jimmy Russ coaches the divers.

“Jimmy is in his second year and he’s done a great job, obviously,” Keller said.

HSE swimmer wins 200 freestyle Hamilton Southeastern coach Andy Pedersen was so happy for Keegan Streett’s hard work that delivered him a state title in the 200 freestyle.

Pedersen said Streett swam a calculated first 100 yards and then followed with an amazing third 50 yards, which led to him securing the victory in the fourth and final 50.

COVER STORY

Current in Fishers

www.currentinfishers.com

Local woman overcomes obstacles to succeed in male-dominated profession

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kristin Haseley knew little about automotive maintenance when she took a job at Jiffy Lube.

Haseley was just seeking to get back on her feet after an alcohol rehabilitation stint. She reached out to Jiffy Lube of Indiana owner and family friend Steve Sanner, as she grew Haseley up playing soccer with Sanner’s daughter, Kate. A 2010 Zionsville Community High School graduate, Haseley was a goalkeeper for the IUPUI women’s soccer team.

“I was looking for a basic 9-to-5 job and (Sanner) said, ‘Come on to work for us,’” Haseley said. “For the first six months I worked at Jiffy Lube, all I did was vacuum floors and clean windows. I was paying attention to what was going on around me. I was learning everything at one of the busiest locations off Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis.”

She started in October 2019. The Zionsville resident has now progressed to assistant general manager at the Jiffy Lube store, 7619 E. 96th St., Indianapolis, just below the Fishers city line. Haseley is one of 12 women in a management position at Jiffy Lube of Indiana, a notable achievement in the male-dominated profession. March 8 was International Women’s Day. Haseley has been sober since December 2019, her longest period of sobriety since her alcohol issues started after college. She had one small relapse after starting at Jiffy Lube.

A huge part of her recovery has been the stability of the Jiffy Lube job, she said.

Haseley’s issues with alcohol began after taking an assistant soccer coaching job at a prep school academy in Minnesota after graduating from IUPUI in 2014.

“I was abused in that position and suffered from PTSD,” said Haseley, who left after eight months. “It was verbal, emotional and at one point it did escalate to physical (abuse). I had no issues with drinking before that. I started self-medicating. It was a journey from there. I was in and out of sobriety

for four or five years. I’m proud of myself to be where I am now.”

Haseley, who previously worked as an account specialist in trucking for Enterprise and as an addictions counselor in South Bend, said the family atmosphere at Jiffy Lube has helped, as has the company’s Growing People Through Work initiative, which is designed to encourage more women to work in the field.

“I’ve been in jobs where I had woken up every morning with anxiety to go into the job, so to have a stable place when I was early on in my sobriety was so important,” Haseley said. “There were times I was tight on rent, and Jiffy Lube has this amazing program called Jiffy Lube Cares program.”

Haseley asked for $500 in advance to pay

rent, and Jiffy Lube took $40 a week out of her paycheck to pay it off with no interest.

“There’s little things like that (that) are indicative of the Sanners in general, which doesn’t surprise me knowing them personally,” Haseley said.

“I’ve been in jobs where I had woken up every morning with anxiety to go into the job, so to have a stable place when I was early on in my sobriety was so important.

There were times I was tight on rent, and Jiffy Lube has this amazing program called Jiffy Lube Cares program.”

– KRISTIN HASELEY

When Kristin Haseley first began working at Jiffy Lube, she didn’t have any automotive knowledge. Now, she can change oil in 10 minutes by herself.

“I knew virtually nothing automotive going into the position,” she said.

“I had a lot of learning and still have a lot of learning. Cars are changing every day.”

She had to learn how to do other duties, such as changing filters and wiper blades.

Haseley said her co-workers, mostly male, have been patient.

“They’ve been understanding,” she said. “They’ve been willing to teach me. I haven’t felt being treated differently.”

As assistant general manager, she is involved with inventory and staffing.

“I’ve been able to help with training from coaching and being on teams most of my life,” she said. “I’m pretty decent knowing this is going to work with this kid, this might not work as well with that kid.”

Winning gambits

Conservative: Trump is no man of character

Commentary by Terry Anker The warning signs are there. One cannot deny it. Still, we hold out confidence on the off-hand chance that the indications are false. What else do we have?

Hope is the last resort, right? We’ve all been confronted with an approaching inevitability and stood frozen, contemplating that which is about to happen.

Life is going to change. A seemingly irreversible event will soon occur. But just as certainly, we’ve all been blessed with the invariable and then escaped its noose. Somehow, the certainty didn’t happen.

So, as we go through this all-tooshort life of ours, can we hang on to an optimism that will help us persevere, if not wholly overcome, overwhelming odds and yet not become the chump eager to overlook the highly likely, if not already impending, doom that awaits?

As we mature, life teaches myriad lessons. We learn that those who play with fire often get burned. We learn that our teens years, for most of us, anyway, are not the optimal time to start a single-parent household. We learn that the credit card companies, like gambling establishments, are really not looking out for our investment futures!

But some of us do manage to light a match without getting torched. In fact, the sulfur-tipped little sticks can be very handy tools. Another exception to the rule is wagering. Against stacked odds.

Someone wins the lottery. Someone wins the college basketball game. Someone wins roulette. At the very least, we imagine that someone must win.

As the passing years transform us from hopeful and naïve youth into something that looks like a seasoned decision-maker, how do we avoid cynicism?

If too much distrust leaves us alone, does too little make us a fool?

A well-timed epiphany Commentary by Danielle Wilson Last weekend, I was super excited to ship my goddaughter her first Communion gift.

It’s a rather obnoxious holoHUMOR gram of Christ and two lambs in an ornate gilded frame that my family sends around to whichever household is celebrating a sacrament. But as I was hauling it to the van, I realized I’d left my purse sitting on the kitchen table.

So, I set it on the driver’s seat and ran back inside. Upon my return, I saw “Him” sitting there. Oh, my god! Jesus was literally behind the wheel! Well played, hologram. Well.

Played.

I most certainly have been caught up lately worrying about stuff that is absolutely outside my control, such as unhappy college kids, a challenging school environment, scheduling my father’s memorial service, to name a few. But the fact is, we are still living in a pandemic, and there is not a darn tootin’ thing I can do to change that.

My co-eds are not having the time of their lives, and one is downright miserable.

Tough stuff, my darlings. I can offer advice and, if necessary, a hug, but you’ll need to forge your own path here. As for my admittedly sucky teaching right now, I must acknowledge that I am doing the best that I can while juggling in-person and remote learners simultaneously on an alternating block schedule, and that it will have to be good enough. And though I desperately need closure with Dad’s passing, it simply isn’t safe or responsible to hold the kind of funeral he wanted.

So, Jesus, I’m handing my worries to you.

Take the wheel!

Peace out.

Editor, I’m a Reagan conservative and I told a GOP congressman at a county fair in Indiana in 2016 that Donald Trump would destroy the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Trump, the ultimate RINO, is the first one-term president since Hoover to lose the White House, Senate and House for his party. This is just the tip of the iceberg of his damage to the nation and party — past, present and future. Although he did some good things, conservatives need to realize that he is neither a conservative nor a Republican and is not a man of character. I hope that a Reagan-esque candidate is our nominee in 2024.

Mark Risley, Fishers

Be my guest (columnist) for a change Editor’s note: This column was written by Dick Wolfsie’s personal copy editor, Heidi Newman Commentary by Heidi Newman This article was not written by Dick Wolfsie. It was written about Dick Wolfsie. He was having trouble HUMOR coming up with something to write about this week after being housebound for a year. Humor is based on life, and he apparently hasn’t had much of one lately.

It’s hard to know whether he’s really tried to come up with a topic. Maybe he’s been busy compulsively popping bubble wrap and binge-watching VHS tapes of his old TV segments. I volunteered to be a guest columnist this week so he wouldn’t miss his deadline.

I’ve been Dick’s copy editor for 20 years, scrutinizing more than 1,000 humor columns. I’ve removed the typos from his stories before the newspaper editor sees what a lousy speller he is.

I’ve also worked with Dick on 13 of his 14 books. We have a mutual appreciation for clear, concise language and a welltimed and snappy punch line.

I’m taking this opportunity to share what that relationship has been like, since readers might not know what happens behind the scenes.

Dick is a former high school English teacher and I’m a grammar nerd. He and I can spend 20 minutes debating a single sentence’s best wording. We dissect and reconstruct whole paragraphs in order to fine-tune the comedic timing. If Dick and I worked with each other in person instead of over the phone, we’d have to wear helmets. That’s how often we butt heads.

By the way, I am not a writer and I’m not creative. I don’t come up with any of Dick’s clever lines. I don’t even try. My job is to ensure his wit comes through to you. If you ever thought something he wrote wasn’t funny, you can blame me.

When we’re working, I’ll often hear his wife Mary Ellen holler downstairs to Dick to ask who he’s arguing with. He yells

back, “Heidi,” which lets Mary Ellen know she has time to go finish the last half of the book she’s reading or to watch a couple of old episodes of “The Big Valley.”

Dick often pokes fun at his wife in his stories. Readers comment to her all the time what a saint she must be to put up with that. What about me? I get no sympathy and I’m the one fighting with him.

We disagree on a lot of things, like any two people might, but I always convince him he won the debate. Here’s some free advice from writers and copy editors: Don’t ever let your spouse edit your text. Not if you still want a spouse.

I hope you enjoyed this column and that you didn’t find any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors or editing issues. I don’t have a proofreader, and I sure wasn’t going to let Dick mess with it.

Foods to eat (and to avoid) for your healthiest feet Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan March is National Nutrition Month — a great time to eat foods that support foot health. When it comes to PODIATRY diet, some choices will reduce your risk for foot pain and injury.

Foods that support foot health • Vitamin D and calcium: Foods with calcium support bone health and growth while you’re young. Then, as you age,

calcium-rich food can prevent osteoporosis and lower the risk for injuries like hairline foot fractures. Choose dairy products like cheese or milk, leafy greens such as spinach or broccoli or even sardines. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. For vitamin D, it’s probably best to add a daily supplement because it’s hard to meet the minimum daily requirements.

• Vitamin C: Many foot problems, including tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, develop

because of inflammation. Vitamin C can help fight that inflammation. Foods rich in this helpful vitamin include oranges, kiwis, strawberries, tomatoes and kale.

• Vitamin B: Neuropathy takes a toll on foot health. Neuropathy can be prevented by supporting good nerve health with vitamin B, including foods like tuna, cottage cheese, salmon, eggs and sardines.

Foods that hurt your feet Steer clear of foods that cause inflammation, including red meats, trans fat-filled

ingredients such as shortening or foods full of refined sugars. Purine-rich foods such as organ meat should also be avoided since these can trigger gout attacks.

‘Everything is easier,’ says woman after weight-loss surgery at Ascension St. Vincent Megan Fitzjarrald has struggled with her weight for most of her life.

“As far back as I can remember, I was always the chubby kid,” she said. “I’ve always had a love for food and as I got older, it just became more and more of an issue.”

Megan had gastric bypass surgery when she was 28 years old and speaks highly of the care she received at the Ascension St. Vincent Bariatric Center.

“The hospital had a whole unit dedicated to bariatric surgery,” she said. “I was with other bariatric patients and felt like the nurses had a better understanding of what we had been through.”

The Ascension St. Vincent Bariatric Center is the most experienced bariatric program in Indiana, offering both surgical and nonsurgical weight-loss options.

“All of the nurses, techs, social workers and caregivers in the bariatric unit have been specifically trained for bariatric patients and have actually elected to be there

Bien Mexicana to operate in Fishers Test Kitchen through March

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Angela Garcia has always had a skill for preparing Mexican food, so when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020 and she couldn’t work, she decided to RESTAURANT make and sell tamales to her neighbors.

One year later, Garcia now owns Bien Mexicana, a Mexican restaurant in the Fishers Test Kitchen, 9713 District N. Dr., and the Noblesville American Legion, 1094 Conner St. “We had 20 orders within the hour,” Garcia said of her

first effort to sell tamales. “It started to go crazy from there, and I knew we had to get out of the house, so we rented the Legion in Noblesville in June.”

Garcia and her husband, Carlos, who live in Noblesville, also bought a cargo trailer and converted it into a food truck. They started visiting neighborhoods in June. The Garcias cooked at the Legion and then sold from the food truck three to four days a week before the weather became too cold to sell from the truck. So, they offered carry-out from the Legion. They also leased a temporary space at Fishers Test Kitchen in February, but sales were so good that they will operate in the space through the end of the month.

Now, Garcia is one of the restaurants being considered for a long-term space in the Fishers Test Kitchen.

“There was always the idea for a food truck or a restaurant or something but there were no steps made toward that until it was absolutely necessary,” Garcia said. “When everything got taken away, I thought, ‘Well, I know how to cook.’ I loved the idea of a food truck.”

Bien Mexicana is open in the Fishers Test Kitchen from 4 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. Garcia also sells at the Noblesville American Legion, and those dates are listed on Bien Mexicana’s Facebook page.

Guest violinist DePue will make long-awaited Carmel Symphony Orchestra debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nearly a year to the day that violinist Zachary DePue was scheduled to make his Carmel Symphony OrchesCONCERT tra debut, he will finally take the stage.

During rehearsals, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and the March 14, 2020, concert was one of many canceled.

So, DePue will be a guest artist when CSO performs at 7:30 p.m. March 13 at the Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. A live audience of more than 400 will be permitted, allowing for social distancing among the 1,600 seats. A livestream also will be available.

DePue, an Indianapolis resident known for his high-energy performance, is well known to central Indiana audiences, having served 11 seasons as concertmaster with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

He also is a founding member of the ISO’s first ensemble-in-residence, the international sensation Time for Three, with whom he performed for 15 years. Since leaving the ISO in 2018, he has been a guest concertmaster and performer.

“Just everything you can imagine until the pandemic hit. Now, I’m just a grocery shopper,” said DePue, somewhat jokingly.

“I was able to perform with my Indianapolis Quartet (Feb. 21), a string quartet. It was actually one of the first live audiences I played in front of for a year.”

DePue will be the featured soloist on Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” in the concert.

“I love playing it,” DePue said. “I’ve done it several times with the Indianapolis Symphony. I’ve done it in many different scenarios.

It’s a very famous war horse of classical music. There are so many recognizable melodies and material in ‘The Four Seasons.’

Familiarity helps. Especially in these times as people start coming back to the concert hall, there is something they recognize.

are excited to hear me do my thing again in this setting.”

CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes said “The Four Seasons” is the ideal vehicle to showcase DePue’s versatility and musical enthusiasm.

“Zach is such an incredibly gifted musician,” Hymes said. “He’s a natural talent.

I’m over the moon he’s going to be a soloist for us.”

Hymes said “The Four Seasons” has been featured in more than 100 movies and TV shows, and she can’t think of a program that would be better for bringing the orchestra back.

“It’s incredibly beautiful and well written,” she said.

Hymes said 32 members of the orchestra will be performing to allow for social distancing. The last time that many orchestra members could play together was November 2020, since the December livestream had to be limited.

“I’m excited and optimistic about the future and the fact we can have live per-

formances again,” Hymes said. “We’ll still wear our masks and be careful, but the fact we can bring back our orchestra to the Palladium, we are very relieved and excited.”

Eight dancers from Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will perform during the “Winter” concerto, the movement of the Vivaldi piece.

“I saw their choreography and they are enchanting, and they are terrific,” Hymes said. “We love to collaborate.”

The second part of the concert will include Franz Schubert’s “Symphony No. 5 D. 485 in B-flat Major.”

“He wrote it when was 19 and he was in a very (Wolfgang Amadeus) Mozart mode,” Hymes said. “He was reveling in the genius of Mozart. This is a piece that sounds like Mozart with a twist. That year when he was 19, he wrote 200 pieces, and this is one of them. It’s very ebullient and upbeat.

This shows the whole orchestra because Vivaldi is only for strings.”

Dugan to perform at The Cat editorial@youarecurrent.com Like most performers, Carmel comedian Dave Dugan has had some long layoffs during the last year because of the COVID-19 gathering restrictions that began in mid-March 2020.

“You’d think after doing something for over half your life, getting back at it would be like riding a bike,” Dugan Dugan said. “I felt pretty rusty, but the positivity of getting back in front of a live audience made it relatively easy to get back with the flow. Plus, some of the material I had been doing for a while that I was sick of all of a sudden seemed fresh again.”

By mid-November 2020, restrictions and shutdowns returned, so there was another three months of canceled performances, Dugan said.

He finally returned to the stage in February. Now he is set for performances at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, in Carmel at 7:30 p.m. March 12-13.

Band brings show to Palladium

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Defining Huckleberry Funk’s sound isn’t easy. Vocalist Dexter Clardy simply calls it “gritty R&B.” LIVESTREAM But really, there is nothing simple about the group’s high-powered blend of genres, ranging from rock to funk to hip hop and just about everything in between.

“Our music style over the years has grown significantly into what we like to call now ‘gritty R&B,’” Clardy said. “Merging all our inspirations into one sound can be a bit overwhelming sonically, at times, but as the years have gone by, we’ve zeroed in on a very high-energy, raw but clean and tight sound that we hope our listeners really feel.”

Local listeners can get a high-powered feel for Huckleberry Funk when it performs a free livestream concert at 7:30 p.m. March 16 at the Palladium in Carmel as part of The Center for the Performing Arts’ “Live at the Center” series. The Indianapolis-based band, originally formed in Bloomington by Byron Boler (drums), Alex Dura (keyboards/saxophone), Matthew McConahay (bass guitar), Elias McDermott-Sipe (guitar) and Clardy,

has developed a following throughout the Midwest and has played venues in New York City, New Orleans and Philadelphia as well as in Indianapolis and Bloomington.

The well-traveled band is making its Carmel debut.

“We actually have never performed at the Palladium before, but being an Indianapolis native, I’ve always had it on my list of stages I’d love to sing on one day,” Clardy said. “Definitely would be an even cooler experience with a sold-out crowd to perform for, but I know the livestream will feel just as surreal.”

Huckleberry Funk derives its unique sound from the diverse blend of musical backgrounds of its five members, four of whom attended Indiana University together.

Janna Hymes, Artistic Director

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14636 Greyhound Plaza, Carmel.

What to get: Roasted prime rib Price: $30 Anna’s take: Charleston’s is a long-standing restaurant off 146th Street in Carmel, and the best thing about it (besides the delicious menu items) is consistency.

Charleston’s has consistently offered high-quality meals for several years. When you visit, you know you will receive great

service and great eats. My favorite item was roasted prime rib. I know that sounds like a simple dish, but Charleston’s really makes it incredible. It’s so tender you can cut it with a butter knife. Also be sure to try the famous baked potato soup ($6), the shrimp cargot ($14) and the original chicken tender platter ($17). Charleston’s has several delicious salads for those seeking healthier options, such as the Walt’s Champagne Chicken Salad, which includes fruits and vegetables. For an excellent finish, order Adam’s cheesecake ($9), a beautifully light and fluffy take on cheesecake made in-house.

Behind bars: Whiskey Smash Get it at Alchemy Spirit House, Zionsville Ingredients: 2 oz. Alchemy Spirit House Oaked Vodka No. 8, 1 oz. fresh lemon juice, 1 oz. simple syrup, orange wheel, amaretto cherry Directions: Add all liquid ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a glass and garnish with an amaretto cherry and orange wheel.

Blueprint for Improvement: A grand kitchen in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene The owners of this 1993 home in Carmel’s Windemere neighborhood wanted better functionality and more room for entertaining in their kitchen.

THE BLUEPRINT • Custom cherry cabinetry anchors the design; the island cabinetry is white, keeping the space light and airy.

• The island is doubled in size, providing ample seating and storage.

• A boldly patterned quartz features prominently on the stovetop backsplash and is repeated on the island.

• The adjacent butler’s pantry was updated with the stained cabinetry and offers increased storage.

• The new finishes blend beautifully with the existing oak floors.

Modern statues in Old Havana Commentary by Don Knebel Statues recently placed on two historic Old Havana squares reflect a modern attitude in a TRAVEL nation not known for its openness.

The Plaza de San Francisco was built in the 16th century just west of the Port of Havana. Named after a Franciscan convent on the site, the square originally housed a market and later became notorious for its gambling activities, including cockfights. Today, Havana’s cruise ship terminal lies at the eastern edge of the square. As more visitors began arriving in the area, the government undertook efforts to give the square a less austere look.

On May 25, 2012, the city dedicated a statue titled “La Conversacion,” or “The Conversation,” created by a French sculptor and donated to Cuba by the French ambassador. The elegant bronze sculpture, atop a marble plinth, portrays two people engaged in conversation, with large portions of their bodies missing. The artist’s apparent intent was to illustrate the frequent need for people who talk with each other to fill in the blanks in their expressed words.

Less clear is the meaning of another bronze sculpture, erected

in 2012 in Plaza Vieja, a square just south of Plaza de San Francisco that became the site of the harbor market when the Franciscan monks objected to the noise of the market on their square. The sculpture, called “Viaje Fantástico” (Fantastic Voyage), depicts a voluptuous bald woman, nude but for her spike heels, sitting astride a rooster and resting an enormous metal fork on her right shoulder. The sculptor, a Cuban artist, has never revealed the meaning of his work. However, some Old Havana guides speculate

that the evocative statue pays homage to the prostitutes who have long worked in the area, relying on their bodies for their next meal. So popular is this interpretation that the sculpture is often called the “Prostitution Statue.”

The closest thing to an *NSYNC lyric you’re going to get today is in this article. It might sound crazy, but it isn’t a lie; today we’re reviewing the words “buy,” “bye” and “by.”

As much as I wanted to quote the choGRAMMAR GUY rus of *NSYNC’s turn-of-the-millennium chart-topper “Bye Bye Bye” word-for-word, I have some serious grammatical grumbles with the song’s subpar syntax.

The words “buy,” “bye” and “by” are easy to switch around, especially because they only require a few letters and they’re pronounced identically. It’s kind of like trying to distinguish the boy bands from the late ’90s and early aughts from each other — they all sound the same.

The primary definition of the word “buy” is to purchase something with money: Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel. If something is considered a bargain, someone might say it’s a “good buy.”

The word “bye” has its own set of definitions. The primary definition of “bye” comes from the word “goodbye,” which is a compound word combining the words “good” and “bye.” The word “goodbye” originated as the contraction “Godbwye,” which was a shortened form of “God be with ye.”

“By” may be the most versatile of this word trio. As a preposition, “by” means “near,” “toward,” “no later than” or to indicate the person who created a work, just to name a few. As an adverb, “by” can mean “past,” “near” or “aside.”
