Lack of mask mandate leaves businesses to set their own policies

By Jarred Meeks jarred@currentnoblesville.com Businesses in central Indiana have been forced to decide if they will require customers to wear face coverPANDEMIC ings after health officials released new guidance but no mandates. The response from the business community has varied. Some are requiring masks, others are not and some feel they can’t enforce a mask requirement without a state or county mandate.

Because of the pervasiveness of the COVID-19 delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance July 27 recommending individuals, regardless of vaccination status, wear face masks in indoor areas of substantial or high transmission, which includes all of central Indiana, according to the CDC. Local health departments soon followed suit and issued new guidance echoing the CDC’s call to recommend masks. But because masks are not mandated, as they previously had been in Indiana, businesses now must choose whether to require masks or leave them up to personal choice.

Some businesses have chosen not to require masks. Curt Whitesell, owner of Greek’s Pizzeria at 231 Park St. in Westfield, said the restaurant has chosen not to have an independent policy regarding masks for employees or guests.

“It was important to us to have as normal and comfortable an environment as possible for those that chose to work or dine with us and to implement an unnecessary or opinionated policy on either party seemed counterproductive,” Whitesell said. “For our guests, we always encourage them to dine with us when they feel comfortable, and if a mask is part of that process, they are more than welcome to practice that right. As for our employees, many of them are under the age of 18, so after the mask mandate was lifted, we asked them to discuss with their families their best individual practice.

“We will always follow what we are legally mandated, but beyond that it is an individual choice and we have had zero pushback from either side.”

Kits & Kaboodle Classic Toys in Carmel required masks during the mandate, but the store now recommends customers wear masks. Store manager Keri Dorsey said the decision was made because Kits & Kaboodle

Health officials say COVID-19 is not as easily spread outdoors, but businesses are left to decide whether to require face masks indoors after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended all individuals in areas of substantial or high transmission wear masks.

is a children’s store, and children younger than 12 are not eligible for a vaccine.

Other businesses have chosen to require masks for all customers, regardless of vaccination status.

Angela Gapinski, owner of Root 31, at 226 Park St. in Westfield, and Remedy, at 203 Jersey St. in Westfield, said her businesses require masks and have “always followed the CDC’s recommendations, and we will continue to regarding masks.”

“We are thankful our entire staff is vaccinated; however, we care about our community’s well-being over our individual comforts,” Gapinski said. “Wearing a mask is an easy way to show our neighbors that we care and a simple way to protect the most vulnerable.”

Liz Esra, who co-owns Cobblestone in Zionsville, said her restaurant is following guidance from the Boone County Health Dept. but is not requiring masks.

“I honestly think for a lot of people it’s going to take a mandate for them to wear (masks) again because it was at times difficult to enforce them when the mandate was in effect,” Esra said.

The delta variant has caused an increase in cases in recent weeks, leading to a surge not seen since winter, when cases were highest. On Aug. 11, the Indiana State Dept. of Health reported a seven-day moving average of 1,833 cases, the highest average

since Feb. 6. The ISDH reported a seven-day moving average of 196 on June 28.

Hospitalizations and test positivity rates also are rising, although deaths remain at record lows. Health officials say vaccinated residents account for an exceedingly low number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths and that vaccines provide the best form of protection against the disease. But some business owners believe conflicting views surrounding vaccinations have made it difficult for business owners and their employees to consider policing mask policies.

Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allyson Gutwein said because of employee shortages, many businesses feel they are not capable of enforcing mask requirements.

“I think for many of our businesses, they would appreciate having a state or county mandate about masks,” Gutwein said. “If you are going into one restaurant or one business where it requires it and another doesn’t, it leaves a level of ambiguity, and it puts it up to that business owner. You already have a number of employees that are under a great deal of stress because they are already working more hours and doing more than what’s in their capacity than in the past. Having to police mask wearing on top of that is difficult.”

Kyle Vannoni doesn’t want any other children to experience the loss he did as a youngster.

TOUR DE KOMEN At age 12, Vannoni’s mother, Peggy, died of breast cancer at 47.

“In losing a mother to breast cancer I’m hoping (my son) Giovanni, or any other kid out there, won’t have to go through what I went through,” Vannoni said. “We ride, we fight, we raise money to help folks detect breast cancer where they may not have access to health care that provides a mammogram to catch it early. We fight to raise money for breast health services and treatment and national research so one day no other child has to lose a parent to breast cancer.”

Vannoni, 36, grew up in Terre Haute. After graduating from college, he lived in Carmel for 1 1/2 years before moving to Fishers for several years. He and his wife, Chelsea, and son moved to Carmel in March to live with his in-laws while the couple’s house is being built in Westfield.

The fifth Tour de Komen, a bicycle ride which travels 100 miles from Fishers to Terre Haute, is set for 7:30 a.m. Sept. 25.

There is a police escort the entire way. The race will end at the site of the Komen for the Cure in Terre Haute. Registration deadline for the ride is Aug. 20.

To encourage participation, Vannoni said if he gets 100 riders, he will complete four 100-mile rides in the four days before the Tour de Komen. That will signify the four previous races. He has never done 100-mile rides on consecutive days.

“Hopefully, this will inspire some people

on the fence about registering,” he said.

The race travels one way from Fishers to Terre Haute. Vannoni is arranging transportation to bring the cyclists home.

The goal is 100 riders. As of Aug. 3, 27 had signed up.

Since 2017, Tour de Komen has raised just more than $250,000. The goal for the 2021 race is $50,000. T-shirts will be sold to raise money. For more, visit tourdekomen.org.

FISHERS RESIDENT TAKES FIRST AND THIRD IN INDIANA STATE FAIR PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST Christina Keel, a 19-year resident of Fishers and a senior associate at Eli Lily and Co., entered three photos in the 2021 Indiana State Fair photography competition’s mobile phone category and placed first and third. Although it was her first time entering the contest, she is not new to photography. Her father Tom Reidy, who died in 2013, was an amateur photographer who entered photos at the State Fair competition.

“I like to think that his love of photography lives on through my eyes,” Keel said.

“This photograph was taken inside the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse in Ponce de Leon Inlet, Fla.,” photographer Christina Keel said. “It took first place in its class and Best of Show in its category at the State Fair this year.

Lighthouses were special to my dad and are also special to me. I’ve always been fascinated by them and what they stand for.” (Photos by Christina Keel)

“This photograph was taken in Bridgeton, Ind.,” Keel said. “There is a working mill, dam and a covered bridge there. Covered bridges, as you probably know, are a wellknown part of Indiana’s history. Covered bridges, also known as kissing bridges, are a true gem and a symbol of America. This picture earned an honorable mention.”

“This photograph was taken while laying under a news station tower in Indianapolis,” Keel said. “My dad photographed this same tower and entered it into the State Fair in 1982. I entered mine this year -- 39 years later -- placing with a third-place ribbon in its class. The real joy of that picture is that when I took it, I had no idea I had taken it at the exact same angle my dad had 39 years ago.”

Fishers police advises on backto-school traffic news@currentinfishers.com With Hamilton Southeastern schools back in session, the Fishers Police Dept. has offered some PUBLIC SAFETY safety tips to ensure safety in school and on the roads.

• Expect a longer commute. The addition of school buses and teenage drivers is expected to add to traffic congestion in the mornings and afternoons.

• Be alert on the roads. With the possibility of children darting into the street, be vigilant on the roads and on the lookout for slowing or stopped traffic.

• When following school buses, be patient and observe traffic laws.

• Be aware of where children may be waiting for the bus in the morning or disembarking a bus in the afternoon.

• Remember the reduced speed limits in school zones. Officers in marked and unmarked vehicles will have increased patrols to enforce school zones and school bus stop-arm violations.

• If residents see or suspect suspicious activity or dangerous drivers, they are advised to call the Hamilton County Dispatch Center at 911 or 317-773-1282.

County leads the way in vaccination efforts Commentary by Fred Glynn Hamilton County government is an entity that sometimes gets overlooked. I once had a conversation with one PANDEMIC of our county mayors who referred to county government as the back-of-the-house restaurant function that is vital to the business, but customers do not always see. Some of the most important functions that serve all county citizens are done on the county level. From judicial services, county sheriff, to our award-winning parks department, work is done every day to serve our constituents.

In the past year alone, we put a business aid program in place for locally owned small businesses that were forced to close because of the pandemic, started the groundwork to build a shelter for domestic violence victims, received the only AAA bond rating for a county government in Indiana, and will be engaging in performance audits of all departments to ensure that we are spending taxpayer dollars as efficiently as possible. While all this is vital, it pales in comparison to the work done by some of our pandemic leaders in Hamilton County government.

When the pandemic started, our Emergency Management Dept. and Health Dept. moved quickly and decisively. Numerous volunteers were recruited and trained. Mass vaccination sites were opened at Riverview Hospital and the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. Currently, there are 50-plus vaccination sites in our county. When I received the vaccine at Riverview hospital, it was a well-organized and flawless process from start to finish.

As a result of all this hard work, 198,421

DISPATCH Free solar webinars — Free webinars are being offered for the Hamilton County Solar Co-op, a non-for-profit program. What will be taught is solar basics for homes, farms, or small businesses and how solar protects against rising electricity bills and can increase property values. Another point is the advantage of net metering and the federal tax credit this year and how the co-op makes it easy to go solar by providing technical support and group pricing. The webinar is at 7 p.m. Aug. 17. Register at carmelgreen.org or email a request to lwebb@carmelgreen.org

Hamilton County residents were fully vaccinated as of Aug. 5. Westfield has the highest vaccination rate at 93.7 percent, while Carmel is at 80 percent. Overall, 70.7 percent of eligible Hamilton County residents have been fully vaccinated. Because of these high vaccination numbers, counties surrounding Hamilton are seeing much higher infection rates than we are.

With this type of success, some politicians will try and take credit for other people’s accomplishments. Personally, I would like to thank our leaders that work behind the scenes, (such as) our Hamilton County pandemic leaders from the Hamilton County Health Dept., Hamilton County Emergency Management and every other county government official that put in the work. Hats off to you and God bless.

Fred Glynn represents District 1 on the Hamilton County Council

Runner Satterfield seeks to help HSE win state title

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior cross-country runner Nolan Satterfield has set high expectations for the team and himself for the season.

Satterfield finished ninth in the 2020 IHSAA boys cross-country state meet in a time of 15:53.9, helping the Royals to a sixth-place team finish.

“Individually, I’m setting the bar at a top-10 finish again,” Satterfield said.

“I’m putting in a lot of work and I’m putting in a push for top five this year. As a team, we definitely have a lot of talent. We are returning all of our guys that scored last year. We’re all going to be seniors that will be scoring for us. We want to win a state championship and that’s our goal. We know it’s going to be hard work, but we know we can do it.”

Satterfield was 46th in the 2019 state meet in 16:25.9 as a sophomore and HSE was 10th. As a freshman, Satterfield placed 115th and the Royals finished 13th.

Following his freshman year, Satterfield decided to give up basketball and concen-

teammates as they prepare for this season,” Brian said. “The chemistry appears to be great, which is always a key for success.”

Satterfield said his training was a little different for track.

“I focused more on speed and I didn’t get as much mileage, but I focused on the mile,” Satterfield said. “I won sectional and regional in the mile (1,600) with (a personal record) 4:20. I made it to the state meet and didn’t perform super well. I went out a little too hard and it came back to bite me, but overall, the season went well.”

Satterfield said the speed training might help in the cross-country season this fall.

Satterfield was coached by his mother, Deb, who previously was the boys and girls cross-country coach at HSE Intermediate/ Junior High.

As for continuing his career in college, Satterfield said Purdue University, the University of Louisville, University of Alabama and University of Kentucky have shown the most interest.

To get ready for the season, Satterfield said he is doing all he can off the course, getting more sleep, eating better and working on ways to help his recovery time.

Family tradition continues at Indianapolis school

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The first day of school Aug. 10 at the International School of InEDUCATION diana, a private school in Indianapolis, was a little bit more celebratory for one Fishers family this year. Macklin Morrissey was not only beginning kindergarten but also became the third generation of his family to attend school in the building that houses the ISI.

From left, Mack Thomas, Todd Morrissey, Macklin Morrissey, Vivian Morrissey, Monica Morrissey and Susan Thomas. (Photo courtesy the International School of Indiana)

The building at W. 49th Street in India-

napolis was home to Indianapolis Public School’s DeWitt S. Morgan Elementary School prior to the 1994 founding of the ISI. Macklin’s mother, Monica Morrissey, and grandfather, Mack Thomas, all attended school in the building. The ISI will move to a new building on Michigan Road after the 2021-22 year.

“I started in this school in the fall of 1951, 70 years ago,” Thomas said. “I went all eight grades. I could tell you every teacher’s name. I had a great start here and it’s near

and dear to my heart.”

Macklin is the first of Monica Morrisey’s two children to start school.

“Honestly, I’m surprised that I haven’t burst into tears yet. Maybe at pickup, I don’t know. There’s also so much excitement that goes with it that really eases any nerves for me,” Monica said. “Five days a week, he’ll get to be in this place that I got to spend so much time in, too. It’s surreal.

“They are just growing up way too fast,” Thomas said.

Caring for the disabled during the pandemic and beyond The pandemic did so much to shine a light on the tough jobs of front-line workers. Yes, my work caring for indiGIVING BACK viduals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a New Hope of Indiana home was difficult. It was even scary at times. We had to mask up, social distance and take many other precautions. We couldn’t go on our usual outings with clients to help them feel part of the community, and their social isolation was devastating to watch. But there were some amazing things, too.

The pandemic definitely changed my life — in a wonderful manner. I found creative ways to build meaningful connections with my clients and learned to get even closer to my co-workers. Pulling together, working together, praying, being a mother and a friend brought us through — stronger than ever.

I’ve been at New Hope for more than eight years and I truly enjoy taking care

Fishers teen finishes year as pageant winner with talent show

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Vani Sharma recently concluded her reign as the 2020-21 International United Miss PreTeen after a busy year FUNDRAISER of fundraising for Care for Children.

Sharma, a 15-year-old sophomore at Fishers High School, organized an international talent show through Zoom. More a showcase than contest, girls from around the world sent Sharma videos demonstrating their talents. She began collecting the videos, at $10 per entry, in April and started broadcasting them on Zoom in June. The last broadcast was July 2. Money raised to support the talent show, she donated to Care for Children, an Indian organization that offers education and supplies to more than 70,000 underprivileged children across India.

Funds were raised through the talent show entry fees and sponsorships. In total, Sharma raised $4,216.50.

Vani Sharma, right, was presented with a President’s Volunteer Service Award by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (Photo submitted by Smitha Sharma)

“We had over 100 participants as part of the virtual talent showcase and, with all of the contributions and fundraising that was involved in it, we were able to sponsor over 12 children for a year,” Sharma said. “That includes all their meals, transportations and education.”

Sharma’s fundraising did not go unnoticed. She was presented with the President’s Volunteer Service Award, among other honors, by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb.

Indiana motorists will now receive four penalty points on their driver’s license for violating the state’s handsROADS free driving law, which prohibits holding a telecommunications device while driving, Indiana BMV Commissioner Peter Lacy said during a July 29 press conference. A license is suspended when a driver receives 20 points. Speeding by 1-15 MPH results in 2 points. Drivers can also be fined up to $500.

Lacy also addressed adjustments to school and work zone infractions.

“The intent of these changes is to keep Indiana roads safe for motorists as well as students and road construction workers,” Lacy said.

Indiana hands-free driving law HEA 1070 became law in July 2020. Law enforcement officers initially focused on issuing citations and warnings to prioritize the public learning about the handsfree law, Indiana State Police Capt. Ron Galaviz said at the press conference.

“In the first year alone, law enforcement

statewide counted almost 16,000 combined citations and warnings for violation of this law,” said Galaviz, chief public information officer for the ISP. “That means that law enforcement had 16,000 opportunities to have conversations with the motoring public.”

Lacy said he encourages people to use hands-free technology or a Bluetooth adapter in their vehicles instead of holding their device if they talk on the phone, follow directions or listen to music. The only exception to the hands-free law is when a driver needs to call 911 to report an emergency.

School and work zone infractions With the start of the 2021-22 school and increased school bus and pedestrian traffic, Indiana drivers should take care not to drive dangerously in school zones or ignore school bus stop arms, Galaviz said.

“We should treat every school bus as if one of our own children was on that bus,” Galaviz said.

Police will monitor for stop-arm violations through Sep. 15 as part of the Stop Arm Violation Enforcement program.

Drivers will receive penalty points on their licenses for school zone infractions.

Renovation under way at Fishers Hamilton East Public Library branch

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Libraries, like books, can’t always be judged by their covers. But occasionally they are due for a fresh look.

The Hamilton East Public Library is undergoing simultaneous renovations at its branches in Noblesville and Fishers. The Fishers renovation is expected to cost between $13.4 million and $15.5 million and will completely reshape the look of the library while minimally disrupting the main checkout and bookshelf areas.

The project began in 2018 with the completion of the Ignite Studio, which is inside the Fishers branch and promotes the arts.

Library officials then began to envision redesigning other elements of the building.

“The last time we did a major renovation of these buildings was in the early 2000s.

We were coming up on the 20-year mark and we really were looking at things that needed to be refurbished or replaced,” said Edra Waterman, library director and CEO. “When we looked at the design and what we needed to do, we were really focused on how we make sure we are positioning these resources that we have for the next 20 years of library service.”

The entire Fishers renovation will be completed in two phases. The first, set to be complete by the summer of 2022, will be major external work as well as some interior piping. The second phase will begin at the conclusion of the first and will be wrapped up by 2023. When complete, library officials see the future of the library as being better incorporated into the rest of downtown Fishers.

“I think it’s really an exciting opportunity for the entire City of Fishers,” HEPL Director of Marketing and Communications Shelley Huffman said. “It provides that holistic sense of community where we are integrating the library with the city center, the amphitheater, the farmers market. I think it will bring greater enthusiasm to the city and we’ll see more people use the resources at the library.”

THE FIRST PHASE The renovation will be most noticeable at

updating carpet, paint and furniture,” Waterman said.

Library officials aren’t disclosing the final design elements for the renovated children’s area.

“We’re going to bring some really cool elements in there, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise,” Waterman said.

ON THE COVER: As part of the renovation, more art will be featured in the entryway.

the north and south entrances. In the current configuration, the southern entrance is the main entryway, but that will be reversed when the renovation is cocmplete.

“So, you’ll come right off of Lantern (Road), onto Municipal (Drive) and turn right into the library,” Waterman said. “We’re building a new two-story main entrance there. There will also be a ton of pedestrian access from the (Nickel Plate) Trail, from the city center, all around the library.”

Sidewalks will circle the library. Currently, the two entrances are separate.

Waterman said on-site parking also will be improved. Currently, most of the parking is in the south lot, which is between the library and the police station, with only a couple access points off Municipal Drive.

When renovations are completed, parking

will be significantly increased to the north of the building.

Besides the entrances, the bulk of the funds will be spent on less visible projects, such as replacing HVAC systems, roofing and certain electric components.

THE SECOND PHASE Renovation to the front of the library and its mechanical systems is included in Phase 1 of the Hamilton East Public Library project.

The second phase will rework some inside areas of the branches.

Waterman said the process of finding and checking out books has been popular and will not be significantly altered, but the entrance to the teen and children’s areas will be redesigned.

“Phase 2 is very small, and it’s mostly

INCORPORATING ARTS Besides being the impetus for the renovations, the Ignite Studio at Hamilton East Public Library will be a major focal point of the new entryway, with artwork showcased there as well.

“When you walk in (to the new entrance) you’ll have an immediate connection with the Ignite Studio on the right, and then there will be stair and elevator access up to the main level,” HEPL Director and CEO Edra Waterman said. “It’s going to be really nice.

“There’s going to be space for art and installations in that space as well, which will tie it into the Nickel Plate Arts District and the work at Ignite Studio.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Stew of questions

Happy days here again

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

For many of us, the lockdowns and closed restaurants precipitated by the pandemic and our reaction to it led to a renewed interest in the food we eat.

For months, it was nearly impossible to purchase the ingredients for us to make our own bread. The lowly yeast packet was elevated to a highly prized and often hoarded treasure. Still, benefitted by countless cookbooks that we’d not touched in years, or by the ubiquitous nature of the internet query (ask your browser how to boil an egg and you will find nearly infinite advisors), we came to experiment with home cooking. The plebeian meatloaf became an Epicurean delight. And common stew was explored in every variation.

There is Irish stew, but it is only the beginning. Wikipedia’s page, List of stews, outlines a few, 177 to be exact, with advice on ingredients and preparation strategies. So, the earnest among us might undertake to experiment a bit.

Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, a bit of meat, maybe it is seafood, and spices to bring it all together. Into the pot or pan it goes, and with some time and attention, voilà — we have stew. All the ingredients, measured, prepared and warmed together, over time, deliver a tasty treat.

But what if we’ve allowed our concoction to become under salted? Well, wouldn’t we add a bit more salt? But what if we’ve allowed our concoction to become too salty? That is trickier. We could start again — throwing out all ingredients and the time to prepare them.

Or could we simply put in more stew until it is to our taste? Even as we continue to grow our ongoing melting pot, if we don’t like the flavor, do we dispose of it all or instead consider how to offset the abundance of deleterious spice?

What a difference a year makes! I’ve said this often, but when I look back over the past 12 months, it couldn’t be more apt.

In August of 2020, almost this same week, I had been banished from school for a 10-day quarantine thanks to our youngest daughter contracting COVID-19.

She and a group of her besties had gone to a belated graduation party with no masks, and then on to a restaurant where they shared straws (I’m shaking my head as I type. What dummies!). I hadn’t even met all of my students at that point because we were on an alternating block, hybrid, whackadoodle schedule that had me periodically questioning my commitment to teaching.

In August of 2020, my father was still with us. He was in the final stages of cancer, confined to a hospital bed in the den of the house I’d grown up in, feisty and curmudgeonly, but slowly losing the fight. I spent more hours with Dad last summer than I had since I’d been a teenager, soaking up as much of him as I could.

In August of 2020, we as a nation were holding our collective breath as the presidential election campaigns began to intensify and the calls for social justice continued to increase. The unknown direction of both kept me awake many a night.

But in August of 2021, my classroom is once again filled with energy and excitement and real live human beings; Dad is no longer suffering and has become quite the guardian angel; and the nation, though far from healed, feels less on the brink. What a difference a year makes.

Peace out.

Fire Foundation barbeque contest heats up

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com On Aug. 21, the garden center at White’s Ace Hardware at Fishers, FUNDRAISER 11881 Lakeside Dr., will be the site of a barbeque battle between several fire stations of the Fishers Fire Dept. At stake are bragging rights and a Traeger grill.

Between five to seven stations are expected to compete.

The barbeque cookoff is an annual event held by the Fishers Fire Foundation that raises money to support firefighters who suffer injuries or have other needs. The foundation also has a scholarship fund to help children of firefighters purchase books and supplies for school and college.

The cookoff starts at 5 p.m., but the fire stations will start setting up as early as 7:30 or 8 a.m. to prepare their chicken, ribs and pulled pork. The contestants also must provide a side dish for the judges. Samples will be sold to the community to raise funds after the contest.

“We definitely have a variety of cooks and chefs in the firehouses,” said Will Ortiz,

president of the Fishers Fire Foundation.

“We’ve varied styles, from St. Louis to Kansas City to good old Indiana-type barbeque.

The signature will be different for each one.”

The firehouses will bring their own grills, but the winner will leave with a new Traeger Ironwood 885 grill as a trophy.

“That’s been something that everyone has been excited about. There’s been a lot of smack talking going back and forth between the firehouses about who’s going to win the Traeger,” Ortiz said. “In the past we had a trophy and bragging rights, but now we have this added reward.”

Jeff Howe, a spokesperson for Ace Hardware, said the company is delighted to host the event and provide the grill as a trophy.

“All of this is really about giving back to the community and our first responders,” Howe said. “When you think of firefighters, you know they have to cook for each other.

They pull their money and cook for whoever is on crew for that period of time. We want to add to the cooking experience.”

Howe’s brother is a volunteer firefighter in Texas.

“I know the commitment that it takes from these guys,” Howe said. “They’re on 12-hour shifts, away from their families. It’s a small community. Each one of those fire stations is as if it’s its own family. One of the big parts of that community building is the meals they share together. You have barbeque and firefighters. I don’t know how it can get any better.’

Fitting back-to-school shoes Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan It always seems like kids are outgrowing their shoes. This can make it tempting to use online shopping platPODIATRY forms for back-to-school shoes. But getting the right fit for children’s shoes is key to preventing foot problems, and the best fittings happen in stores, with professional help (no, the shoe stores did not pay me to write this article). Check out these fitting tips, so your child will be school-ready while being free from bothersome foot pain.

Signs of wear Even if your child hasn’t outgrown his or her shoes, it still might be time for a new pair. Over time, the cushioning and arch support of shoes wears down. And that could lead to heel pain. Your child’s risk for tendonitis, sprains and fractures goes up when shoes lose their shock absorption.

How can you spot a worn-out shoe? A supportive shoe shouldn’t bend in the midsole area (but it can be flexible in the toe area). And if there is any kind of damage around the edges of the sole, it’s ready for replacing.

Find the fit Once you’re in the shoe store, have a professional measure your child’s foot (if left and right are different lengths, fit the shoe to the larger foot). Even when you know the right shoe size, you must remember that different brands create different-size fits.

To make sure your child walks comfortably, his or her shoes should leave about a finger’s width of room between the shoe edge and your child’s big toe. While it’s tempting to leave extra room, that’s a bad idea. Your child’s feet will slide around in roomy shoes. And that can lead to toe injury and a higher risk of ingrown toenails.

Unique conditions If your child has flat feet, extra help may be needed. Because flat feet tend to spread wide, styles with roomy toe boxes may fit best. Plenty of arch support will help your child avoid foot pain.

Classical Mystery Tour makes Carmel Symphony Orchestra debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jim Owen wanted to create a new twist on a tribute band to The Beatles.

He wanted to back CONCERT The Beatles’ music by an orchestra.

“Long story short, I made it happen,” said the 54-year-old Owen, who started Classical Mystery Tour in 1996.

Classical Mystery Tour will be joined by Carmel Symphony Orchestra at 7 p.m. Sept.

5 at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel.

This is the group’s first time playing with CSO. However, CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes has worked with the Classical Mystery Tour previously with another orchestra.

Hymes described the group as the most high-quality tribute band because, in her view, the “guys look and sound like The Beatles.”

Originally playing George Harrison when the group launched, Owen moved to the John Lennon role a few years later and remained there.

Tony Kishman, who plays Paul McCartney, has been in the role since the start.

Chris Camilleri, who plays Ringo Starr, has been with the group since its second show, which was in 1997.

Playing with an orchestra sets Classical Mystery Tour apart from other Beatles tribute groups.

“We generally play with 20 or 30 orchestras a year,” Owen said. “Sometimes, it’s just a one-night show, and sometimes it’s two, three or four nights.”

Owen said Classical Mystery Tour has played at Conner Prairie several times, with and without the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

“They told us they like the energy without the orchestra, but what makes us special is the orchestra,” he said. “I always prefer and love playing with an orchestra.”

Owen said both indoor and outdoor concerts have their strengths and weaknesses.

“Outdoor is really great for that kind of festival atmosphere,” Owen said.

The concert will open with an orchestra overture.

“The rest of the concert is us with the orchestra together,” Owen said. “It’s a re-creation of the original Beatles recordings. We play whatever The Beatles played, guitar, bass and drums, vocals. The orchestra plays at the same time whatever was done on the original recordings.”

For example, Kishman, as McCartney, plays acoustic guitar on “Yesterday,” backed up by a string quartet.

“It’s done exactly like the original,” Owen said. “Then there are more full songs. Like “I Am the Walrus” had more strings and French horns.”

Owen said the early Beatles hits didn’t use any orchestra.

“As they got into the middle ‘60s and late ‘60s, you’d be surprised how many of their songs used full or partial orchestra,” Owen said. “Our opener song (‘Got to Get You into My Life’) is from the ‘Revolver’ album in 1966, and it is has saxophones and trumpets, kind of like a Motown sound to it. That’s what we use is four trumpets

and four saxophones to recreate the sound.”

Early on, Classical Mystery Tour didn’t play early Beatles songs because it didn’t want to create an orchestral arrangement.

“Fans appreciate the respect we put into it,” Owen said of the music.

Owen said fans said they missed the early Beatles songs.

“We started adding early songs like ‘I Saw Her Standing There,’ and maybe something like ‘A Hard Day’s Night,’” Owen said.

Owen said he is contemplating doing a similar idea with all different songs from the 1960s.

“There are a lot of really neat songs with orchestral arrangements,” he said.

“That’s something we have in the works to do in the next year or two.”

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic hitting in mid-March of 2020, the group played only two shows, including one in Terre Haute, in the summer last year.

Owen said since April, the schedule has been closer to normal.

Carmel High School vocalists join Broadway performers

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sophie Miller figures she is quite lucky to have earned a spot on stage in Discovering Broadway’s concert with CONCERT music from “Hamlet.”

The 2018 Carmel High School graduate will perform at 8 p.m.

Aug. 20 in a concert from the new musical “Hamlet” in the Frank and Katrina Basile Theatre at the Indiana Historical Society in

Indianapolis.

The concert features Jordan Donica (“My Fair Lady”) as Hamlet, Samantha Pauly (“Six”) as Ophelia, Adam Pascal (“Rent”) as King Claudius, and Bryonha Marie Parham (“Prince of Broadway”) as Gertrude.

“This is an incredible Miller and rare opportunity to perform alongside these talented artists,”

Miller said. “I’ve never had the opportunity to work with Broadway performers in a cast setting, and I’m so excited to see how we create art from all different walks of life. I’m also very proud to share the stage with several others from Carmel, a place that values and supports the performing arts.”

Discovering Broadway founder Joel Kirk, a 2012 CHS graduate, also is the director of “Hamlet,” which is in the formation stage before it lands on Broadway. The “Hamlet” writers’ retreat begins Aug. 17 at the Hotel

Carmichael in Carmel.

Other Carmel High School graduates performing are Jenn Maurer (2010), Kelly Krauter (2010), Eric Wiegand (2014), Kyle Caress (2014), Jake Letts (2017) and Jack Ducat (2021).

Christina Barnes, a 2015 Zionsville Community High School graduate, is delighted to perform.

“When I was a kid, I was always performing in the Indiana shows, so it’s amazing to be back on an Indiana stage,” Barnes said.

GHDT goes ‘Under the Big Top’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Gregory Hancock regards “Under the Big Top” as one of his underrated pieces.

“It’s a nice piece, and someDANCE times it gets overshadowed by some of our bigger pieces,” Hancock said. “‘Under the Big Top’ is a lot of fun but it’s also poignant, touching and funny and light and sweet. Being a repertoire company, it’s nice to bring pieces back and see them performed by older cast members.

“Our company is strong now with good acting skills. It’s nice to see character development during this process.”

Hancock said the show debuted in 2010 and returned in 2013.

“Under the Big Top” will be presented at 7 p.m. Aug. 26-28 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The show is about an Eastern European circus and the circus characters, such as lion tamer, clowns, fortune teller, high-wire walkers, knife throwers and sideshow performers.

Company dancer Abigail Lessaris was a student performer in the 2010 presentation.

She was a student and company dance intern when it was staged in 2013.

“This time I’m a member of the traveling circus, and all of the dancers portray different parts throughout the whole show,” Lessaris said. “One of my more featured parts is as the veiled lady. I am enjoying the ensemble dancing. We work well together as a team.”

Lessaris said all the costumes are colorful.

“A lot of moments are fun and comical,” Lessaris said. “But there are some moments that pull you in emotionally. It’s a good show for adults and children alike.”

Westfield, and its liege waffle is so good, I ordered mine plain for $4 with a side of butter. There are other waffle options, such as a liege waffle with blueberry and lemon mascarpone or strawberry and Nutella.

But in my opinion, the waffle is best plain and enjoyed with a warm latte. I also tried RIVET’s Egg-Witch ($8), a whole wheat bagel with a pesto-baked egg and Tomme de Nena cheese. RIVET has an adorable café with a beautiful porch, part of which is uniquely built around trees to preserve them rather than cut them down, which I really liked.

An apprisal of appraisals Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Mary Knebel, left, and her father, Don Knebel, on the Dentzel Carousel. (Photo courtesy of Don Knebel)

History of the Dentzel Carousel Commentary by Don Knebel Growing up in Star City, Ind., I occasionally visited Logansport’s Riverside Park, riding what I called its “merryTRAVEL go-round.” Today, Logansport’s Dentzel Carousel is one of Indiana’s 43 National Historic Landmarks.

In 1860, 20-year-old Gustav Dentzel came to Philadelphia from Germany, where his father had taught him to carve carousel animals. In 1867, Gustav opened the Dentzel Carousel Co., producing two or three carousels a year featuring lifelike horses and other animals carved from bass and linden wood. In 1900, the Fort Wayne Consolidated Railway Co. obtained a Dentzel carousel for its Robinson Park. The carousel’s 38-animal wooden menagerie consisted of horses, reindeer, goats, giraffes, a lion and a tiger.

When Robinson Park closed in 1919, a private owner moved the carousel to Logansport’s Spencer Park. In 1949, a subsequent owner moved the carousel to Riverside Park and housed it in an open-sided pavilion near the Eel River. The carousel featured a metal chute filled with 69 steel rings and one

brass ring. Riders on the outside animals reached for the rings. Anyone grabbing the brass ring received a free ride.

In 1972, Logansport Jaycees raised money to purchase the carousel so that it would remain in Riverside Park. In 1987, the carousel, one of the three oldest in the United States, was designated a National Historic Landmark, as was another of the three oldest, now in the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. Logansport’s Dentzel Carousel was restored in 1993 and moved to an enclosed building just east of its original pavilion. In 1999, an electric band organ was added to the carousel, complete with bells, drums and a flag-waving miniature conductor beating time. Volunteers with the nonprofit Cass County Carousel, Inc., operate the carousel. A ride costs $1 and anyone grabbing the brass ring still receives a free ride.

Is it buy low and sell high, or vice versa? All I know is that it’s not a good idea to buy while high. Either way, all this house market GRAMMAR GUY hullabaloo got me to thinking: What’s the difference between the words “appraise” and “apprise?” I have a feeling it’s time for a refresher.

These two words share so much in common. Both words are verbs. They have incredibly similar spellings. Not only that, but both have their roots in French. “Appraise” comes from the Old French word “appriser,” which means “to set a value on.” We get “apprise” from the French word “appris,” which means “to inform, give notice or advise.” Appraise, appriser.

Apprise, appris. Are you surprised we confuse these words?

I’ll cut to the chase: “Appraise” and “apprise” do have distinctly different meanings. “Appraise” means “to estimate or assign value” while “apprise” means “to tell or inform.” A Realtor can apprise her clients of the home’s appraisal. In this hot market,

appraisals are coming in unusually high.

Case closed? Not so fast, house hunters!

Another word has crept into existence: “apprize.” Although it’s an uncommon word that appears in English in the 14th century, its definitions include both “to inform” and “to increase in value.” Go home, English; you’re drunk. In theory, your Realtor could apprize that the home you want to buy has granite countertops. As a result, this apprizes the home in your eyes. People love a good granite countertop.

First, I’d advise you to forget you ever learned the word “apprize.” It only confuses things. When you hear “appraise,” think of “raise,” as in value. When you hear “apprise,” think “advise.” I don’t know much about real estate, but I do know about words. And you can’t put a value on using the right word at the right time.
