Vaccine update As of Jan. 27, 51 percent of Hoosiers 80 and older had received a COVID-19 vaccine or were scheduled to be vaccinated, and 57 percent of residents 70 and older had received a vaccine or were scheduled to be vaccinated. Sixty percent of health care workers and first responders had been vaccinated or were scheduled to be vaccinated.

As of Jan. 27, state officials said Indiana had received 809,400 vaccine doses, and they expect allotments to increase by a small percentage following news from the federal government that states will receive an additional 13,000 doses each week.

State officials said the additional doses won’t change plans to vaccinate Hoosiers by age groups. They believe vaccinating the state’s oldest populations will prevent the most deaths and hospitalizations. Holcomb and state health officials have repeatedly said they can vaccinate more Hoosiers but are limited by the number of doses they receive from the federal government.

Hoosiers ages 65 to 69 are the next group expected to be eligible. State officials said that could happen within the next several days.

Those eligible can schedule a vaccine appointment by visiting ourshot.in.gov. or by calling 2-1-1.

To our valued readers: It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the

suppression in Indiana.

The series, which is presented online and free to the public, also will feature Q&A sessions with panelists after each presentation.

The documentaries will be shown on levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue to deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail.

Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online continues and never will change.

Zoom, and participants must register at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rc-2qpz4pHNzfroVQZCT-X4lvk7N7m-ng. The session also will be livestreamed on the LWVIN website, lwvin.org. Recordings also will be available to view after the event.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

COVID-19 cases drop in county, vaccine supply runs low

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Like the rest of the state, Hamilton County has seen its weekly number of COVID-19 cases decrease PANDEMIC significantly.

The county reported 87 new cases on Jan. 26, the lowest total since 81 cases were reported on Nov. 2, 2020. The seven-day moving average of new cases was at 143 on Jan. 26, a drop from 299 reported on Jan. 10.

Christian Walker, Hamilton County Health Dept. emergency preparedness coordinator, said he believes much of the decline in cases has occurred as people have “hunkered down for the winter.”

“The holidays, we knew, were going to be

a trying time,” Walker said. “Thankfully, we bent but didn’t break.”

Deaths have also fallen, with — as of Jan. 27 — only five deaths reported in the county since Jan. 18. The last time the county went a week without reporting a COVID-19 death was late September into early October 2020.

A total of 320 people have died from the disease in Hamilton County, with 60.3 percent of all deaths occurring among those 80 and older.

Walker said the recent trends are encouraging but that it’s still important for people to wear face coverings, social distance and continue other practices to prevent the spread of the virus.

“We’re not through the woods yet,” Walker said. “Hopefully, everyone can stay the course a little bit longer.”

Hamilton County, moreover, has been among the state’s most prolific counties in providing COVID-19 vaccines, and it is prepared to more than triple the amount being given daily.

But there’s not yet enough vaccine available to make that happen.

The Hamilton County Health Dept. opened its COVID-19 vaccination site Jan. 11 at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville. It provided 750 doses in its first week and 1,100 the second week. The county expects to receive enough vaccine to provide 1,600 first doses per week beginning in mid-February, according to Walker.

However, Walker said the county has a plan and resources available to vaccinate

up to 3,500 people each week. Walker said it’s not clear when the county will receive enough vaccine to make that happen. The county receives its allotment from the Indiana State Dept. of Health, which is responsible for allocating the doses to Indiana’s 92 counties.

The vaccine is available in Indiana to residents who are at least 70 years old, health care workers and first responders. Vaccine appointments in Hamilton County are booked through nearly the end of February, Walker said.

“The demand is far, far outpacing supply right now,” Walker said, adding that more appointments will be added as the county receives additional vaccines.

School rewards students with book from vending machine

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville’s North Elementary School media specialist Jamie Harris noticed that some students were not EDUCATION returning books to the school library.

She saw an advertisement for book vending machines and thought it was an amazing idea.

“We believe it is the only one in the area,” she said. “I spoke with our parent teacher organization about funding the machine, as it would benefit our entire school. They felt it was a great addition due to the demand for books at home. I knew we needed our students to have access to quality reading materials.”

The book vending machine was purchased in February 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the production was halted until the 2020-21 school year, Harris said.

“We received the machine in October and we were up and running the first week of November,” she said.

The equipment costs approximately $5,000 and was funded through a creativity grant from the North Elementary PTO. Harris stocks the machine with titles that have been proven to be of high interest to her students.

Harris said teachers can pick two students per day who have modeled school behavior expectations such as initiative, respect and excellence.

“When a student has earned 10 tickets, they come to see me in the library and are given a gold token that is then used to get a book from the vending machine,” Harris said. “I can’t begin to tell you how exciting this is for our students.”

Harris said she and Principal Rob Lugo developed a system that aligned to behavior procedures at school.

“We felt the vending machine would be a great way to not only promote reading but good behavior, completed assignments, engagement in class, etc.,” Harris said.

Parent Beth Rednour is a fan of the program.

“Think about how excited you were the first time you walked up to a vending machine as a kid,” Rednour said. “I absolutely love that our school system is choosing to recognize firstclass behavior by rewarding those students in a creative way. By letting kids choose their own books, we’re improving our children’s independence and self-esteem.”

North teacher Janene Krent said the program is a terrific way for the entire school to participate because it is based on school procedures.

“It is a great reminder for them that you can do the right thing anywhere and be rewarded by anyone,” Krent said. “I love that about this incentive. We are all on the same team. Since we are the only school in the area to have such a thing, there is a buzz among the kids. Mrs. Harris is a great out-of-the-box thinker that brings so many great ideas to benefit all kids at North.”

Noblesville Girl Scout earns Medal of Honor for helping save father’s life

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Girl Scout motto is “Be prepared.”

In the 1947 “Girl Scout Handbook,” the motto was explained as, “A Girl Scout is ready to help out wherever she is needed.

Willingness to serve is not enough; you must know how to do the job well, even in an emergency.”

Gabby Chambers, a member of Noblesville Girl Scout Troop 757 and a sophomore at Noblesville High School, embodied the motto with quick thinking that helped save her father Colin Chambers’ life during a family vacation in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2019.

While doing research for another Girl Scout award, her father discovered there was a Medal of Honor for Bravery. He submitted an application to the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, who forwarded it to the national organization for consideration. Gabby recently received the rare award.

“When I received the award, it was a very bittersweet moment,” she said. “I felt very happy and proud to be bestowed the Medal of Honor, but I also felt sad because I received it for such a hard time in my life.”

Nearing the end of a planned 10-day vacation, Gabby and her parents were staying at an apartment in Wales when her father fell ill and lost consciousness.

“I helped gather his CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) supplies and kept him safe by watching him and keeping him comfortable,” Gabby said. “I was on the lookout for the ambulance and alerted my mother when the ambulance arrived.

I kept my mother calm while she was on the phone with emergency services. I kept my composure during the emergency. In addition, it was our day to check out of the apartment. I gathered all of our belongings together, so during the chaos we didn’t leave any important items behind.”

The doctors put her father in a medically induced coma for a week.

“After he woke up, he was in the hospital for about another two weeks,” Gabby said “Luckily, they were able to treat him and save his life.”

long it would take to arrive, which felt like an eternity.

“The apartment building shared the same address with multiple buildings, which made it more difficult to locate. It was mentally chaotic and upsetting, to say the least.

Gabby’s actions also saved me.”

Stacy said she and her husband are incredibly proud of Gabby’s response.

“She helped tremendously and demonstrated a great deal of maturity under extreme duress,” Stacy said. “Gabby was such a source of strength and clarity. We are beyond proud of her bravery. I look up to her and love her very much.” but (the ambulance) took an hour to reach us. The ambulance covered a 3-hour radius from the hospital. I was unaware of how (Above) Gabby Chambers, left, with her father, Colin, and mother, Stacy Chambers during trip to Scotland. (Above Right) Gabby Chambers and her father, Colin, on the shore in Wales after he was released from the hospital. (Submitted photos)

Colin didn’t want to discuss what caused the hospitalization but wanted to focus on his daughter’s actions.

Gabby missed the first two weeks of her freshman year while her father recovered.

“We were unable to leave because my father had to go through rehabilitation until he was strong enough to leave the hospital,” she said.

Her mother, Stacy Chambers, said Gabby never lost her composure.

“She kept me from panicking by having such a great calmness and command,” Stacy said. “Gabby’s actions allowed me to focus on getting assistance from emergency services while she kept her father safe, gathered our belongings together and helped to flag down the ambulance to our apartment. Since we were in the United Kingdom, I was unfamiliar with how to even reach emergency services. Instead of dialing 911, they call 999, which I had to figure out while navigating on my cellphone. The hospital was less than five minutes away

Gabby Chambers pauses with her bluebird display.

GOLDEN MOMENT Gabby Chambers earned the Girl Scout Gold Award in October 2020 for her project, “Helping Bluebirds.” The Gold Award is the equivalent to the Eagle Scout Award for Boy Scouts.

Chambers, who wants to be a veterinarian, enjoys watching eastern bluebirds. She said predators threaten their existence, so she wanted to install more bluebird houses to help.

Her goal was to raise $800, and she raised approximately $835. She had planned on building her own bluebird houses.

“Due to the pandemic, I had to rely on donations and buying birdhouses,” Chambers said. “My goal was to give away 25 bluebird houses to families in Noblesville.

I wound up receiving 58 bluebird houses and distributed them around Noblesville.

I received multiple donations of bluebird houses, two pairs of binoculars and I created two informative posters about the bluebirds and birdhouses.”

She donated two pairs of binoculars and a poster to Cool Creek Nature Center in Westfield and she gave Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville a poster and birdhouse to display in its children’s section.

“With the remaining funds, I donated money to the Indiana Audubon Society and Providence Wildlife Rehabilitation,” she said. “Despite obstacles, such as the pandemic, I exceeded all of my goals.”

Current shouldn’t aid conspiracy theorists

Commentary by Terry Anker For some of us, trying new restaurants is a must. Each meal must be unlike any that we’ve ever had before.

We learn of the newest “fusion” dining spot that purports to have successfully mixed traditional Central African cuisine with that of the varied Inuit tribes of the distant North American territories.

Monkey maghaz, or monkey brain, sauteed in aged whale blubber presents the diner with a legitimate claim to be on the cutting edge of foodie culture. For others, we prefer the tried and true. Our instincts take us to the same restaurants, with the same menu, to order the same meal. Much like Steve Jobs wearing his daily uniform of jeans and a black turtleneck, it frees us up to devote ourselves to the many other things that require our focused attention.

Is it really spawned in some deep-rooted and well-thought out origin, or could it be that we simply like what we like? Isn’t variety the spice of life?

Well, sure. But also, isn’t it bad to throw out the baby with the bathwater? Sure it is. We are stuck in some loop like poor old Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof.” Is tradition the key, or is it time for something else?

Likely, there is no definitive answer.

We rely upon our experience and tastes to help guide us. Throughout our lives, we confirm and reconfirm our choices.

New was bad. Let’s not do that again.

Or, new was wonderful, we should experiment more often. Either way, we reinforce ourselves until the choice, through repeated wear, becomes a blister, then a callus and, ultimately, a bias. Ultimately, we shun some options, secure in our certainty that we know what we like. Or we cuddle into the equally false belief that everything deserves a go, that nothing is reaching too far.

I can see clearly now Commentary by Danielle Wilson Anyone else have Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” looping in her psychological playlist? Despite HUMOR still feeling utterly exhausted all the time, I have to admit to finally having a bit of hope for 2021. Let’s do this!

My mom and in-laws recently received their first COVID-19 vaccinations, easing the weight of worry I’ve carried for almost a year about their health. Although teachers are no longer on the Indiana priority list, I figure if I’ve made it this far without getting sick, the odds are in my favor that I’ll make it to summer. Go masks, over 70 percent alcohol hand sanitizer and social paranoia!

Two-thirds of my college kids are back on their respective campuses, with the last set to return in another week. Praise be! They’ve been home since Thanksgiving, eating, laundry-ing and generally not adulting to their hearts content. While it was great to have our six-pack reunited for the

holidays, even a nice Imperial IPA can skunk with too much exposure. “We love you!

You’re beautiful! Don’t let the door …!” You know the drill.

The 2020 election is over. We have a new president. We have a female veep. They were both sworn in as part of a wonderfully peaceful, inspiring and inclusive ceremony.

And we were introduced to the astounding Amanda Gorman. Enough said.

I am still in bed most nights before 9 p.m., wake on Wednesdays wishing they were Fridays, and require copious amounts of coffee and Netflix teen dramas to get me through, but I can see the light of clear blue morning on the horizon. Sing it, Dolly! 2021!

Editor, I’m thankful that Robert Davidson cleared up those “election irregularities” for us last week. He and his “A Beautiful Mind” have it all worked out. I agree with Daniel Hook that Current should not aid conspiracy theorists. The recent presidential election was not even particularly close. If actual, meaningful cheating had occurred, some lawyer would have been able to make that case. To continue to give people space to speak nonsense hurts all of us.

Additional topics I hope not to see covered by Current in the future include: Does stepping on a crack break your mother’s back or your own back? Does gum stay in Bigfoot’s stomach for seven years if he swallows it? Do Christians love Trump because of his servant’s heart or his response to the pandemic?

And: if you repeat a lie enough times, does it eventually become the truth?

KELLERWILLIAM INDY METRO Oh, Henry: Remembering ‘Hammerin’ Hank INDY METRO www.currentnoblesville.com

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

It was April 8, 1974. The Atlanta Braves were playing a home game against the L.A. Dodgers. Henry Aaron had HUMOR already hit his 714th home run to tie Babe Ruth’s record. That evening, I played hooky from the night class I was teaching to listen to the game. On his second time at bat, Aaron rifled one over the left-field fence for No. 715. He circled the bases, and this was the announcer’s call: “A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record by an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment it is for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the world.” Then, Vince Scully went silent, letting his viewers absorb the moment.

Scully, arguably the greatest baseball announcer of all time, had made the call for arguably the greatest hitter of all time.

Hank Aaron was a poor young man from Mobile, Ala., who played in the Negro League for the Indianapolis Clowns at a starting salary of $200 a month.

“I think there was more talent in that

league than in the majors,” Aaron said.

Aaron ultimately hit 758 four-baggers, a record that would hold for 32 years until it was finally eclipsed by Barry Bonds.

When Bonds heard of Aaron’s death, he said, “Thanks for all you have taught us … for being a trailblazer through adversity and setting an example for all of us African American ballplayers who came after you.”

In one of his final interviews, Aaron was asked if he had any regrets. The answer from one of the humblest men in the history of the sport was, “Yes, all the men I left on base.”

I called Carl Erskine, the retired Anderson banker who pitched for the Dodgers from 1945 to 1958, and who toward the end of his career faced Aaron multiple times.

Anticipating my first question, Erskine remarked, “He hit five home runs off of me, but that’s OK, because he hit 17 off of Don Drysdale (a Dodger Hall of Famer). His home runs were bullets — screaming line drives.”

Hiring a tax professional — In most states, including Indiana, tax preparers do not have to meet any licensing standards, so you need to do your homework if you plan to hire a professional to do your taxes.

Finally, ask for references and check them out.

It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year.

HEALTH

Working to ensure trust, equity Commentary by Dennis Murphy The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare persistent, systemic racial disparities in communities across the IU HEALTH United States, including the lasting effect of inequality in medical care and the resulting mistrust among communities of color. Recently, IU Health has faced questions about racial inequities in our own health care system, including questions about the quality and equity of Dr. Susan Moore’s clinical and personal care at one of our hospitals. These issues are serious and raise questions that must be answered thoroughly, independently and transparently.

Dr. Moore’s death was tragic, and we extend our deepest sympathy to her family and friends. As the leader of an organization that is deeply committed to equity, empathy and improving the health of underserved communities, I, too, seek answers to these questions.

We have initiated an independent, third-party review of Dr. Moore’s case, as well as our overall patient care protocols, communication and procedures. The review, which is already under way, is co-chaired

by Dr. Jeannette E. South-Paul, the chair of the department of family medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Dr. David Wilkes, dean of the University of Virginia’s School of Medicine.

The review will be conducted by six local and national independent experts representing a range of clinical, medical backgrounds along with those who have track records of advocacy and expertise on systemic racism, cultural competency, patient experience and communication, diversity and inclusion. Four of the panelists are African American, one is Latino and one is white. Three are women and three are men.

Upon completion of the investigation, the results will be shared with Dr. Moore’s family first. We will disclose results of the investigation publicly in a manner that balances transparency with respect for the family’s request for privacy.

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

For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

Andy Card is the founder and CEO of Klipsch Card Athletic Facilities.

BACKGROUND: Andy Card is the founder and CEO of Klipsch Card Athletic Facilities. “We develop, design, and operate youth athletic facilities nationwide,” he said. “I also have ownership in several restaurants and a development company, and I’m also on the racing team with Tony Stewart for which Tony was the driver in the Indy Racing League.” He and his wife, Marti, have five children (three girls, two boys) and two Goldendoodles, Carlton and Chloe. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling, boating and fishing, “but my true passion is spending time with my family and friends.”

Andy’s injury occurred one day while he was stretching. “I have practiced martial arts for many years, and I have learned many stretching techniques. I was getting ready for a run, and my meniscus tore. I went a long time without any treatment, bearing the pain, but eventually, it prevented me from doing the things that I love that also keep me active. I finally decided to get my knee fixed.”

WHY MSM: “Because of my ownership and involvement in indoor athletic facilities, I knew many customers and athletes that had great success in overcoming injuries with Methodist Sports Medicine. The care that I received from day one was fantastic; as a business owner, I pay very close attention to how other businesses are run from A to Z. Dr. Maratt spent a significant amount of time talking to me about exactly what would happen. Dr. Maratt was nothing short of Picasso when he operated on my knee. The staff at Methodist Sports Medicine was highly educated on how to make my recovery as fast and smooth as possible, especially the rehab care that I received at their facility at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville. Scott Hamersly, my Physical Therapist, was fantastic. If anyone is ever in need of orthopedic care of any kind, I highly suggest Methodist Sports Medicine; they truly are a 10 out of 10, the best in the industry.”

THE JOURNEY: Andy tried to manage his pain with medications and bracing, which got him through an incredibly busy period for him. Once it became apparent that Andy’s knee arthritis would continue to limit him, Dr. Maratt developed a plan for Andy’s knee replacement surgery and recovery.

Dr. Joseph Maratt Scott Hamersly “We utilized modern pain management techniques that started before surgery to minimize pain after surgery, prevented injury to the thigh muscles by not applying a tourniquet, and used computer navigation to optimally resurface his knee for a result that feels as natural as possible,” said Dr. Maratt. “We had him up and walking hours after surgery and home the same day. He was doing very well and enjoying being active when I made a telehealth appointment with him at 8 weeks. I expect he will be fully functionally recovered by 3-4 months.”

Scott Hamersly, Director of Rehabilitation Services at MSM, led Andy’s journey to recovery after surgery. “Andy bought into the concept that surgery alone is not the sole solution, but the recovery and rehab afterward is what gets your life back,” said Scott. The MSM team looks forward to Andy’s continued progress and is excited to see that he is already back to doing the activities that he loves.

THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Joseph Maratt, Fellowship Trained Hip and Knee Replacement Surgeon, and Scott Hamersly, MS, PT, ATC, CSCS and Director of Rehabilitation Services.

Company member’s video skills beneficial to Indianapolis Ballet gala livestream

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Chris Lingner’s skill as a videographer has been a huge addition to the Indianapolis Ballet in the past several months.

“I do a lot of videographer work, and this last year DANCE it’s been quite necessary,” said Lingner, a founding company member of Indianapolis Ballet. “Most arts organizations are converting over to livestreams (amid the COVID-19 pandemic).”

The Fishers resident’s video skills work will be on display on the livestream of “Ballet & Cabernet,” the Indianapolis Ballet’s annual fundraiser, at 8 p.m. Feb. 6.

The livestream will feature WRTV reporter Rafael Sanchez as host at The Cabaret theater in Indianapolis. Fans of the ballet can register with no charge at indyballet.org/gala. The one-hour livestream will feature performances by company dancers and special messages from world-renowned prima ballerina Misty Copeland, New York City Ballet dancers Megan Fairchild and Georgina Pazcoguin, Broadway star Jackie Hoffman and IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe.

The show will feature a singing duet by Kristina Love, star of “Tina Turner the Musical,” and Lingner’s brother, Cory Lingner, a Broadway performer. The siblings grew up in Indianapolis and graduated from Carmel-based University High School.

“Cory is helping me edit, so it’s kind of a family affair,” Lingner said. “I’ll be performing on one piece that was recorded. During the actual broadcast, I will be directing at The Cabaret. We already taped some of the performances at The Toby stage at Newfields. Some of it will be live. It’s a different experience going all virtual, especially for a field like ours.”

Daniel’s Vineyard has donated customized-labeled bottles of wine for the gala.

Lingner said the goal of the fundraiser is to keep the company going.

“Thanks to the generosity of a lot of foundations, particularly Clowes and Lilly’s stepped up across the board, not just for us,” Lingner said. “Because of how things have gone, ticket sales have been significantly hampered and understandably. We have to make our ends meet to keep dancing.”

Indianapolis Ballet’s performance of “Nutcracker Sweets” also was presented as a livestream. Originally, a crowd of 25 percent capacity was to be permitted, but the guidelines changed two days before the scheduled performance in December 2020.

“We had to switch gears and did an actual ‘live’ livestream for that performance,” Lingner said.

Following the gala, Indianapolis Ballet, which started perfoming in 2017, will present a virtual performance of “Love Springs Eternal,” which will start Feb. 20 and run through the end of the month.

Actors Theatre of Indiana “Alabama Story,” a 2019 production of Actors Theatre of Indiana at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, will be available for streaming purchase through Feb. 14. Cost is $35. For more, visit atistage.org.

Performing Arts Connect The Center for the Performing Arts series features “Story of a Composer: George Gershwin” in a Zoom teleconference at 7 p.m. Feb. 2. The presentation will be by the Manhattan School of Music. Cost is $12. To register, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Live at the Center Pavel and Direct Contact will perform a free livestream concert at 8 p.m. Feb. 6 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. It is part of the “Live at the Center” series and features Dominican pianist Pavel Polanco-Safadit. To register, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Chris Lingner is a dancer and founding company member of the Indianapolis Ballet. (Submitted photo)

“We’ll be filming Feb. 18 and 19 since we have a multiple cast of dancers,” Lingner said. “There will be different fan groups of dancers. Then it will be on demand after that.”

Lingner said he was already doing a lot of videography for Dance Kaleidoscope and Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre.

“Thankfully, a lot of these skills have been available to the organization, so we can still execute our craft,” Lingner said. “(Dancing is) a short-lived career, and it’s hard to be off for that amount of time and still come back strong. We’re thankful we’ve all been safe, and our protocols have all worked out well. Even the school has been working out well. We’ve always been cautious, doing whatever is deemed safe for everyone. We’re thankful to be performing and providing this to the community.”

“Love Springs Eternal” will feature a brief performance by students from the Indianapolis Ballet school.

“It’s just to give the kids another performance opportunity,” Lingner said. “They’ve also been limited by that and they need to keep getting that experience. There are a few roles (for students) in ‘The Firebird,’ which is the signature ballet of the evening that will feature some children.”

Indianapolis Ballet started as a school but grew to the point it could support a company, Lingner said.

For more on the gala or “Love Springs Eternal,” visit indyballet. org.

Robinson’s art on display at The Art Gallery editorial@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Arts Council is presenting an exhibit by noted artist Rebecca Robinson entitled, “The Art of Bridging the Gap,” in The Alcove on the second floor of The Art Gallery at City Hall in Fishers.

“As long as I can remember, art has moved me,” said Robinson, who lives in Indianapolis. “Expressing myself with my artwork allows me to convey a thought, an emotion, a personal experience or an important message. As an artist, it is my duty to push the envelope and create artwork that sparks a dialogue and remains timeless.”

Robinson’s exhibit of 11 paintings include stained glass, acrylic on canvas and concrete, tar and white latex. The exhibit opened in January and runs through March.

The Art Gallery at Fishers City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr., is open daily Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.

I tried Poke Guru, which also has a location at Indianapolis City Market. Poke is a Hawaiian dish that features raw fish served over rice with vegetables and sauces, sort of like a sushi bowl. I tried four bowls, all priced at $9.95. I tried The Original, which is the most popular bowl. It features marinated tuna over sushi rice with edamame, avocado, seaweed, cucumber and a drizzle of spicy mayo and unagi, topped with pickled red onion. The Ginger Scallion features your choice of salmon

or tuna, fresh ginger, green onion, seaweed, carrot, avocado, pickled cucumber and soy sauce. The Sichuan Salmon features salmon tossed in a Sichuan sauce, house-made chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, edamame, pineapple, pickled daikon, avocado, crispy onion and nori strips. The Kalbi is truly unique with short rib in a Korean marinade, edamame, seaweed, avocado, pickled Asian pear, pickled mustard seeds and crispy onion.

Behind bars: Raspberry Rosemary Cosmo Get it at Ruth’s Chris, Indianapolis Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Absolut Raspberry Vodka, .75 oz. Cointreau, .5 oz. fresh lime juice, .5 oz. cranberry juice, .5 oz. simple syrup, 1 rosemary sprig, 4 raspberries Directions: Muddle rosemary, raspberries and simple syrup. Build with the other ingredients. Shake and double strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with 2 raspberries on a rosemary sprig.

Scenes from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Remembering President Reagan Commentary by Don Knebel The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, Calif., contains millions of items related to the TRAVEL life of Reagan and his service as governor of California and president of the United States. The most popular item on display required a more than 50 percent increase in the facility’s size.

The Reagan Library and Museum sits on a 100-acre hilltop about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, providing a view of the Pacific Ocean. When it opened in 1991, the building’s 3 1//2 acres of interior space made it the largest presidential library. Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 41 attended the dedication, the first time in history five U.S. presidents had all been together.

The Reagan Library and Museum lost its title as the largest when President Clinton’s library opened in 2004. It regained the title in 2005 with the opening of a 90,000-squarefoot addition to hold the airplane that served as Air Force One for Reagan and six other presidents until it was taken out of service

in 2001. The Boeing 707 was disassembled and transported to its new home, where it was reassembled inside.

Visitors to the facility are greeted by life-size statues of President Reagan and Mrs. Reagan. They can then watch one of three holograms of an actor portraying Reagan, accompanied by his words. Visitors can then see a full-size replica of the Oval Office, exactly as it was during Reagan’s term as president, including the famous jar of “Jelly Belly” beans and a reproduction of the Resolute Desk to which Reagan added a 2-inch base to accommodate his height. After a tour of Air Force One, as it was during Reagan’s term, visitors can walk along a recreated White House Rose Garden and end their visit at the burial site of Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

Capitalize on this Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’m astonished at how often the world of grammar intersects the headlines. Since the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, I’ve seen and heard people GRAMMAR GUY confused by both the spelling and the capitalization (seriously, no pun intended) of the word. Let’s dive in.

The words “capital” and “capitol” have unique origins. In fact, “capital” comes from the Latin word “capitalis,” which means “head,” as well as “capitale,” which means “wealth.” Here we see why “capital” can mean “money” as well as “the state seat of government.” We also get the meaning of “capital letters” from the Latin word meaning “head.” This makes sense because capital letters stand at the “head” of a word.

When it comes to “capitol,” we get this word from the Temple of Jupiter Capitolium, otherwise known as the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, located on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. The temple was a significant center of Roman religion and culture and was dedicated in the year 509 B.C, the same year the Romans overthrew the Etruscan monarchy, establishing a new republican system of government. It is assumed that Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., was named after the Capitoline Hill.

When should we capitalize capitol? When referring to the building in D.C., write “Capitol.” According to The AP Stylebook, you should also refer to the buildings where state governments meet: The students toured the Oklahoma Capitol during their class field trip. These are proper nouns, so they receive the capital letter treatment.

So, if the buildings, as well as the head of our nation’s government, are “capitols,” what is a “capital”? A state’s capital is the city where the state conducts its government business. The term “capital” refers to the city, while “capitol” refers to the building where the government meets.

While some stylebooks do not capitalize the “c” in state capitols (the buildings), The AP and New York Times dictate that these important buildings get the capital Capitol treatment.
