To our valued readers: We hope you are well and will continue to be well.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have negative a impact on businesses across the nation and around the world. Current Publishing is in that group.

Difficult decisions continue to be made by ownership and the boards of directors, some hour by hour, and it still is with unyielding earnestness, empathy and respect that we inform you of important measures we have undertaken to secure the long-term viability of Current in Noblesville.

What began with the editions of April 7 and is expected to last up to and including the editions of June 30, Current will divide its total circulation to Noblesville by approximately 25 percent. That is, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail, and a supply of the editions will be made available at locations each week, including: • Broccoli Bill’s: 15009 N. Gray Rd. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Saturday. Phone number is 317-580-1517.

• CVS Pharmacy: 14575 Mundy Rd. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Phone number is 317-770-5275.

• Noble Coffee & Tea: 933 Logan St. Be sure to place the order via phone or online, as customers are not allowed in the building.

Hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The phone number is 317-773-0339 and the website for online ordering is toasttab.com/noblecoffee.

In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online will not change.

Again, as of this writing, this still is an interim measure until we can gain more clarity as the pandemic restrictions fade.

Would you please support us and our advertisers as we continue to be the source for hyper-local news?

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

Victory gardens return

By Sam Montgomery news@currentnoblesville.com In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hamilton County Master Gardeners Shelli Broadbent and Jennifer PANDEMIC Lambert have partnered with the Carmel Clay Public Library, with the support of the City of Carmel’s Economic Development and Community Relations Dept., to promote the concept of victory gardens to Carmel residents.

Victory gardens originated during World War I as food sources and to boost morale.

Carmel residents have options for planting them.

“They can certainly start them in their backyards, and there is also the Plots to Plates community garden behind Carmel Middle School,” Lambert said.

The program was launched with more than 2,800 victory garden bundles, which included 15 seed packs in each. Hamilton East Public Library donated an additional 1,000 seed packets.

The goal of the project is to encourage Carmel residents to share their harvests with the more than 30 food banks in Hamil-

ton County.

“The victory garden is about claiming victory over food insecurity and claiming victory over (COVID-19). It’s about moving on,” Broadbent said. “We want to encourage the public to grow now more than ever because despite everything that’s canceled, gardening is not canceled.”

A tote with seed bundles is available between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. near the main entrance of the Education Center at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. Each family may take one bundle, which will be available until May 16 while supplies last.

Front Porch Project for Club Kids launches

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Tom & Soni Sheehan Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Executive Director Becky Terry has found FUNDRAISER a way to keep kids connected and raise funds.

The club is partnering with Tenth Street Photography to promote its Front Porch Terry Project for Club Kids. The Front Porch Project has started in many communities around the nation during the coronavirus pandemic. Photographers are taking

photos of families on their porches.

Terry said the idea was brought to the club by a former board member, Lori Waldner.

“Our fundraising committee decided that this was something we wanted to try,” Terry said. “During our research, we found that Tenth Street Photography had already started this initiative. We reached out to the owners, Lori and Fred Koppold, and they generously agreed to partner with us to help generate support for the Boys & Girls Club.”

“Terry said the response has been positive so far.

“We are excited to see the fun, silly and poignant photos that these amazing photographers will create,” Terry said.

Terry said fundraising is critical during this time.

The $65 sessions in the Hamilton County area include a 10-minute visit from one of Tenth Street Photography’s professional photographers on the front porch from a safe distance and two edited digital images from the photo shoot.

Each package includes a $25 donation to the Boys & Girls Club in the family’s name.

“A crisis helps us remember what matters most and that often brings us to our family,” Tenth Street Photography co-owner Lori Koppold stated.

Noblesville runner keeps her marathon date

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jennifer Dye’s first Boston Marathon was unforgettable for the wrong reason.

“It was one of the most RUNNING grueling conditions that it had for decades,” Dye said of the 2018 race. “It was below freezing, wind chill with 35 mph head wind. There was a lot of us that finished with hypothermia; that was me.”

Since the medical tents were overcrowded, Dye had to recover with other runners in a basement of a building.

“I don’t remember much of it, so I had hopes of going back,” she said.

Dye lost feeling in her hands during the race.

“I think I wore gloves for two months after,” she said. “I never wanted my hands to be cold for a long time after that.”

So, the Noblesville resident was set to return to the Boston Marathon April 20, but it was postponed to Sept. 14 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m going to remain hopeful, but I don’t see anything with so many people happen-

ing for the rest of this year,” she said.

So, the 1991 Carmel High School graduate

held her own COVID-19 Boston Marathon April 20 for her personal credit.

“I ran from my house through Noblesville and down through Carmel,” Dye said.

She had planned a 20-mile route but had to tack on some additional miles to get to 26.2 miles.

“It was nice cool weather with no wind so it was an ideal weather day for me,” she said.

Her husband, Dean, got a video of Dye crossing the toilet paper finish line that her two daughters, Addison and Avery, were holding for her.

“I got a lot of messages saying, ‘I hope you saved that toilet paper,’” said Dye, who ran the distance in 3 hours, 36 minutes.

Dye is an interventional radiologic technologist at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. She previously worked 22 years at St. Vincent Carmel.

When Dr. Kannan Natarajan, a St. Vincent co-worker, found out what Dye was doing, he said he was going to run a half-marathon to support her on the same day.

Dye has competed in seven previous marathons, including Chicago and New York, twice each. Her first was in Chicago in 2003.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Libby Sutherland wanted to help fill the need for personal protective equipment during the coronavirus GIVING BACK pandemic.

“I decided I had to do something because I couldn’t sew, so I created this Facebook group,” Sutherland said.

She immediately enlisted fellow Noblesville resident Mindy Riley as an administrator and co-founder of the Hamilton County Indiana Mask Brigade.

“She was able to put her skills, not just sewing, but marketing, to get things out,” Sutherland said. “Within a couple of days, we had 250 people. By 3 1/2 weeks, we have over 1,200 that are registered. We have members whose entire families are part of the (assembly line) chain. We have people who get material, people that cut the material, people that sew the masks, we have people that cut the ties and elastic so our sewers can just sew. “ Volunteers pick up and drive parts to different homes.

“Our motivation to start this was because we thought a lot of this could be curtailed if we could protect our people out on the front lines,” Riley said. “When there was a shortage of the N95 mask, we starting making an N95 cover.”

The group follows The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention safety methods for producing the items.

“We have 3-D (printers) and we need a lot more of them that are printing face shields,” Sutherland said.

The group has made deliveries to the Noblesville Fire Dept. and plans deliveries to other fire departments as well.

“The mother of a Westfield firefighter said what they really needed was barrier gowns,” Sutherland said. “It’s a single-time use if they are in (contact) with someone who might be infectious.”

Jenna Bowling at Costumes by jelebobo in Zionsville created the pattern for the barrier gown for paramedics and assists members with sewing instructions.

In addition, Sutherland said requests are starting to come from doctors’ offices and hospitals for cloth masks for their patients.

“We (will) feel the need for personal use once we step back into things at the end of the curve flattening,” Riley said. “We might want to wear masks once we get back in the swing of going around people again.”

Sutherland said the group has partnered

Alec Firanek and mother Libby Sutherland with dog Brownie. (Submitted photo)

with fabric stores to help them receive business while they offer a discount or donations to obtain more materials.

Always in Stitches in Noblesville, Adkins Draperies and Blinds in Westfield and Griffon Decorative Fabrics in Carmel have helped supply the fabrics.

An official Hamilton County Indiana Mask Brigade T-shirt is available for purchase, with proceeds going to a fabric store purchase.

There is a need for more volunteers as well as items such as 54-inch by 108-inch vinyl tablecloths, stretchy headbands, 1/4-inch-wide elastic, 1-inch buttons, quilting fabrics by the yard, transparencies for face shields, PLA or PETEG plastic for 3-D printers and double-stick tape with paper backing.

People not on Facebook can join by emailing hamiltoncountymaskbrigade@gmail. com.

Riley’s daughters, Megan, Kate and Madison Riley, are all helping to sew, cut and button bands. They are Girl Scouts who will receive Emergency Relief Fund patches.

“Anybody who is in need of (protective wear), we try to cover as many people as we can,” Noblesville High School sophomore Madison Riley said.

Mindy Riley said they don’t allow people to purchase masks or gowns, but they are welcome to donate items Sutherland’s children, Noblesville senior Alec Firanek (distribution preparation) and Noblesville junior Ellie Firanek (photos and videos), also assist.

Noblesville residents Sabrina Radke and Denise Woolen and Fishers resident Nicole Bachus are part of the group’s administrators.

Henderson a leader Commentary by Charles Layton During my 91 years, I have overcome some of life’s most difficult circumstances.

From conquering polio as VIEWPOINT a child to leading 36 fellow prisoners of war out of Korea, I know what it takes to have faith, persevere and ultimately to tackle whatever life throws at me.

I firmly believe that today we face a key crossroads in time. We now, more than ever in my lifetime, are in dire need of strong, principled and compassionate leaders who can rebuild trust in our government. Beth Henderson, our Hoosier nurse, proven businesswoman, caring mother, and political outsider running for Indiana’s 5th District Congressional seat, is that leader we can trust.

As confirmed in the latest Gallup Poll on ethics, for the 18th consecutive year nursing is the most trusted profession and

Congress is one of the least trusted. Much like I knew it was my time to step up and lead the escape from the Korean war prison, I know it is Beth’s time to step up and lead us to greater civility, caring and understanding.

Like all truly great leaders, Beth is a wonderful listener and takes the time to hear the stories, struggles and triumphs of others. With her in Congress, I am confident we will escape the scourge of socialism and rise above the current political games.

I have never felt compelled to follow a leader like I am with Beth Henderson. Getting her elected to Congress may be one of my last, yet most important, missions of my life.

Charles Layton is a veteran of foreign wars and author of “Escaped with Honor,” a true story of a Korean War POW/MIA. When his military career ended, he continued serving in state, county and local governments. In retirement, he is a community volunteer in central Indiana.

Downtown businesses move or close after retirements, rent increases

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Since the start of 2020, many longtime downtown businesses have moved their operations or closed.

COVER STORY For various reasons, some store owners are making critical decisions. Some are trying to be more sustainable or increase exposure, while others are shutting down. Some shops with historic value, name recognition and a loyal customer base have made drastic changes, largely unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In mid-March, Old Picket Fence, an antique shop at the northwest corner of Ninth and Logan streets, closed. Owner Rosie Hoistion purchased the business in 2015. It had a presence on the square for more than 20 years in the historic Sowerwine Building, which is 153 years old.

“We had planned on keeping the store open for at least one more year,” Hoistion said. “Every two years, I negotiate with my landlord, and I was going into my fifth year.

The first four years I had the business, I didn’t have a rent increase, but this time, there was going to be an increase.”

Although the rent increase was substantial, roughly 20 percent, Hoistion isn’t critical of her landlord, Hamilton Properties.

“It would have just been easier if the rent would have increased a little bit every year rather than all at once,” she said. “My landlords were great the entire time I was there. I would have stayed if it weren’t for some of the other factors, too.”

Hoistion said besides the rent hike and a health scare last year, parking complaints and issues also contributed to her decision to close the store.

Parking is no longer a major issue for merchants downtown. The city has worked for years to solve parking woes in the downtown district. At the start of 2020, a parking pilot program was launched to encourage patrons planning longer visits to the downtown area to park just off the square in free spaces instead of the me-

Paper covers the window at the original space for Buck’s Barber Shop. Opened at 29 S. Ninth St. in 2014, owner Ernst Buckingham moved to a new site after issues with parking and building maintenance and repair.

The Noblesville Antique mall announced its permanent closure May 4.

tered, two-hour spaces directly around the square. Two new parking garages also are in the works.

“It’s hard to understand. if you go to the mall and park at JC Penney, people have no problem walking halfway across the world to go over to Old Navy and then back, but when people come downtown, for some reason, they want to park right in front of the business they’re going to,” Hoistion said.

“We even had little change purses to give to people to put in the meter, and people still complained.”

For Ernst Buckingham, founder and owner of Buck’s Barber Shop, a plan for expansion was nixed when he decided not

to keep his original shop just off the downtown square at 29 S. Ninth St. In January, Buckingham opened a second location at 1990 Conner St., less than a mile east of the original Buck’s Barber Shop he opened in 2014 at 29. S Ninth. St. “I had the move (to 1990 Conner St.) in the works before any of the coronavirus stuff happened,” Buckingham said. “My intent was to keep both shops open. It wasn’t virus-related, the reason I closed (29 S. Ninth St.), but the building was just in such bad condition that I couldn’t keep it open.”

Buckingham said although overall business dropped by roughly 60 percent in the days before the two shops were mandated to close

15

because of the pandemic, the downtown location closed permanently March 21, three days before hair salons and barbershops were ordered to close starting March 25.

“My rent on Ninth Street was very cheap, but you know, you get what you pay for,” Buckingham said. “We had plumbing problems, water leaks, mold, and the owner just wasn’t repairing anything. With the building the condition it was in, I couldn’t attract new barbers. And prior to anything happening with the virus, we were going stronger than ever. Both locations were firing on all cylinders, but a big issue for us downtown was the parking. The parking at our new building is 10 times what it was when we were downtown.

“The location and exposure of the new shop, that’s worth $1,200 or $1,300 a month just in advertising revenue. We’re right on State Road 32, visible to everyone, and we have a parking lot.”

MORE CHANGES ON THE SQUARE Old Picket Fence and Buck’s Barber Shop are two of several downtown businesses to switch things up. One of the more surprising moves from downtown was that of the Noblesville Clock Company, which recently moved from 966 to 2345 Conner St. because of high rent.

The shop had rented the first floor of the historic Becker House building since 1998.

Kirk’s Hardware at 848 Logan St. — housed in a building that dates to 1889 - also has closed after its owners were unable to finalize a sale with an interested buyer. Through the years, the building had been a hardware, dry goods store and horse-and-buggy repair shops before becoming Kirk’s Hardware in the early 1950s.

The Noblesville Antique Mall at 20 N. Ninth St. closed May 4 after an agreement couldn’t be reached among the owners, the building owner and a manager of the store to keep the business open. It has been on the downtown square for nearly 30 years.

At the end of April, Copper Still, a restaurant at the southeast corner of Ninth and Conner streets, announced its closure. The owners could not be reached for comment.

HOOK STANDS FOR:

LOWERING HEALTHCARE COSTS He will stop special interest handouts and exorbitant charges by healthcare providers. The healthcare industry makes political donations of $250 million per year for special interest laws resulting in higher drug costs and charges for procedures in excess of 20 times what Medicare pays.

REDUCING TRILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL DEFICITS He will eliminate wasteful spending and tax breaks that benefit the richest 5% of Americans. Increase rates on capital gains to the same rates paid on wages, so the 400 richest people no longer pay rates lower than the middle class, thereby avoiding another financial crisis and bankrupting our children.

ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE, NOW He will get rid of $40 billion in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and invest the savings in clean energy technology research. Climate change is impacting our health, agriculture and security by causing increases in respiratory and infectious diseases, droughts and national disasters.

We must ensure a safe and healthy future for our children.

REDUCING MINDLESS DEATHS BY FIREARMS He supports the International Association of Chiefs of Police approach to firearm safety. Requiring universal background checks for all gun purchases and stopping production of semi automatic assault weapons is a common sense approach to protecting our children, innocent citizens, and the 2nd amendment.

Kenley supports Dillinger Editor, I encourage all voters to support Steve Dillinger for county commissioner. I have known Steve since our high school days at Noblesville High School and am proud of Steve’s service to Hamilton County during the last 40 years. From his involvement with youth to his public service as an elected official, Steve has been instrumental in the growth of our county.

He has been and still is the constant leader to bring infrastructure improvement to the county, whether it be roads such as the massive improvement of 146th Street,

the growth and development of Riverview Hospital to provide first-class medical services by our county hospital, or the addition and improvement of our county park system for our recreational needs.

Experience counts! Steve has it and uses it to provide a level of leadership rarely seen in government. He not only makes the right decisions, but does so economically with an eye on costs, and with consideration to retaining the freedoms we cherish as a great nation.

Luke Kenley, Noblesville

Time to reopen Indiana Editor, Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Today, we see politicians across the country trampling on the rights of citizens under the guise of a “little temporary safety.” Businesses are being forced to close and churches are banned from gathering. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood is allowed to continue taking innocent lives.

The liberty and livelihood of thousands of Hoosiers is being ripped away, and it’s time for patriots to stand up and say enough is enough. If we continue to allow unconsti-

tutional bans on the rights of Americans to provide for their families, we are going to see an economic collapse beyond repair.

Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction, and we cannot allow our freedom to be stolen from this generation under a false sense of security.

We need a leader in Congress who will defend liberty, not destroy it. I stand with the small-business owners, religious leaders and hard-working Americans who are ready to get back to work. It’s time to open Indiana!

Micah Beckwith, Noblesville

Vote by mail Matthew (Matt) Hook is an independent minded businessman who is tired of politicians who represent special interests and not the people.

Matt retired as a Senior Partner with Centerfield Capital Partners where he invested in numerous companies in various industries throughout the United States. In addition, Matt was an attorney for 11 years and a CPA for 8 years.

Matt and his wife Jody have lived in Indiana’s 5th district for the past 25 years where they raised their four children.

If you want a data driven independent decision maker who believes Congress is suppose to be a check on the Executive Branch and not a rubber stamp for a political party, I would greatly appreciate your consideration.

Editor, I am extremely upset with the State Election Commission and its lack of concern for the voters of Indiana. It had the chance to do a total vote by mail and instead is doing on-site voting and placing thousands of people at risk for the COVID-19 disease. The federal government even provided the state with $8 million that would more than cover the cost of a mail-in election and would have reduced cost by not having to pay for poll workers and PPE. The virus will not be gone by election day, so to protect yourself, to protect the poll workers, I strongly urge you to vote by mail. It does not matter if you are a Demo-

crat or Republican in this primary. The main concern should be that you’re alive and not sick after the primary. The only good thing the election board did was remove the requirement to get a vote by mail ballot. To get an absentee ballot application, you can call the Hamilton County election board at 317-776-8476. You can also email a request to elections@hamiltoncounty.in.gov. Fill out the absentee request and send it back.

Then, you will be sent a ballot so you can fill it out without going out and taking a risk of getting sick.

Please vote, but vote smart from home.

Vote for McMillan Editor, I am very happy and excited to support Charlie McMillan Jr. for Hamilton County commissioner, District 2.

I have known Charlie and his family for more than 45 years. He is an honest, smart, hardworking man of integrity. He has a long list of experience ranging from mechanic to chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Zoning Appeals, South District and so many

more, too numerous to list. I believe Charlie will bring new working ideas to life that will better our county.

If you are tired and disappointed in what has been done for the last 30 years, take a look at Charlie McMillan Jr for Hamilton County commissioner, District 2. You will be glad you did!

Vote Kim Good Editor, I support candidate Kim Good for Hamilton County treasurer. Imagine 30 years of experience and all that’s been accomplished. I’ve pulled together a comparison of the candidates, so you can see why I fully support Kim Good and will be voting for her on June 2.

Kim has 30 years of employment within the treasurer’s office, including 20 years in property tax management; 20 years in State Board of Accounts audits with zero citations; 16 years in investments; 12 years as chief deputy treasurer; eight years as county treasurer; eight years as chief financial officer; five years on the board of Indiana County Treasurers’ Association, where she was recognized as 2010 Outstanding County Treasurer; and two years as a board member of the Association of Indiana Counties.

Through the years, Kim has worked to im-

plement new software or processes within the treasurer’s office. Some of those would include online payment options, implementing the ability to make payments at local banks, updating the bookkeeping manual processes and the tax collection system which increased the efficiency of the office with minimal staffing.

Her opponent, Susan Byer, was an employee of the treasurer’s office for 13 years, and during this time she was a clerk that filed claims for bankruptcies, answered phones and processed payments.

Kim Good has the leadership skills and experience to be county treasurer, so I’m asking you to vote for the experienced candidate and vote Kim Good for Hamilton County treasurer.

Elect Ditslear Editor, When John Ditslear announced his campaign for county council, I was overjoyed.

As the “rookie mayor,” as he called me back in 2008, John Ditslear was an invaluable mentor and resource for me in my first several years. Having a truly proven leader like John at that time was so important to me. For him to continue to offer his service and experience to our entire county is most desirable.

John led Noblesville by collaborating constantly with key community members across the county. Under his leadership, the city grew by 57 percent, and with the population growth came necessary city improvements. John worked tirelessly with

organizations like INDOT, residents, nonprofits and other community-focused groups to accomplish substantial and critical initiatives. This same dedication and work ethic is crucial to our future success on the county council. When it comes to dedicated leaders, you would be hard-pressed to find one better than John Ditslear.

Just like he did as mayor of Noblesville, I firmly believe John Ditslear will make the same strides and progress as a member of the Hamilton County Council. John’s proven leadership is exactly what we need.

To learn more, you can visit johnditslear. com and don’t forget to vote on June 2.

Stating the need for music Editor, More than 2.1 million students in the U.S. are denied performing arts programs. Indiana’s schools are contributing to this due to the $16.9 million in state education funding taken from IPS systems. Students that already are battling anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts need an outlet such as music. According to Susan Hasser, the chair of the Music Therapy Dept. at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, “Research shows that making music can lower blood pressure, decrease heart rate, reduce stress To our readers: In the face of changing conditions and practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date of Indiana’s primary election has been moved to June 2. There exists the possibility that date may be moved again.

Since many residents are opting for absentee voting for reasons of date uncertainty and social distancing, Current Publishing will provide its usual voting content online beginning May 5 and running through June 2. You may find it at youarecurrent.com/vote.

We believe this is the best way to keep early voters, and even those who wish to wait for the eventual election day, up to speed on each candidate, polling places and other pertinent information.

We spent a lot of time together working on our Camaros tuning, polishing, taking to the drag strip. As we grew in life, we didn’t spend a lot of time together, but we kept in contact and (did) a few excursions together.

Without music, students will have lower confidence/esteem levels and more stress.

LETTER

Abnormal practice

Congress needs a trusted nurse

Commentary by Terry Anker A hallmark of good stewardship for our corporeal bodies is regular health care. But in a time of isolation and lockdown, how do we keep up with routine maintenance? Many general practice physicians are waiting by the phone with patient counts low and offices closed. Do we have a responsibility to our good doctors to keep our regular checkups in much the same way that we are ordering carryout from the local trattoria?

Many caring citizens have marched on with scheduled appointments, hoping to support the local team and to keep the baseline of personal care up to date. One such recent virtual visit illustrated the gaps of nontouch medicine to both medical professional and patient. The pleasantries of general self-reporting on weight, overall comportment and the vagaries of aging aches and pains became the focus of the exam. Thankfully absent were the more physical elements of the physical.

One does not look in their own ear or throat. Also gone were the more invasive examinations that occur as we age.

There was some talk of the current state of medicine. There was some talk about appropriate ways to fend off, or forestall, contagion. There was some talk about coping with the stress of it all. Then, there was a prescription for a blood draw – to be administered at a time and place that was available, open and comfortable. One can assume the results would bolster the chat and lead to a bit more accurate diagnosis. It is dangerously reminiscent of the 2006 film on government overreach, “Idiocrasy,” where medicine is largely practiced by vending machine. Still, there is comfort in the abnormal normalcy of it. The doctor closed by admonishing that we get a “real” appointment when able.

Zooming in on normalcy Commentary by Danielle Wilson One of the benefits of all this time at home is that I am now officially an expert in video conferencing. I Zoom HUMOR or host webinars probably 15 times a week. I know how to schedule, record, moderate, participate, mute, share screen, enable a waiting room, change my name to something funny like Mommy Dearest or System Error, invite people in and kick people out. I’m a veritable Hugh Jackson (as P.T. Barnum, not Wolverine) of the greatest online circus shows in history!

Not that it beats in-person interaction.

I’d give up my red hair (which, I must say, is still looking incredible given I haven’t seen my stylist in forever. Miss you, SP!) to be in a classroom with my students or host a Derby party with my neighborhood peeps.

But I have been pleasantly surprised by the way virtual gatherings have filled the social void. Yesterday, for example, I was

on a Zoom call with my friends from high school who live in North Carolina, Kentucky and California. We talked and laughed and cried (not me, I’m stone-cold dead inside) for well more than an hour. And if it hadn’t been past my bedtime, we might have gone on all night, or at least until 10 p.m.! Getting to see their faces, read their body language and toasting each other with our various cocktails made a huge difference for me.

Even us introverts need an occasional dose of community to lighten the spirit.

So, I think once the madness has subsided and we return to our normal lives, I’ll continue to be the master of the Zoom domain.

Peace out.

Even us introverts need an occasional dose of community to lighten the spirit.

Editor, We need a trusted nurse and business owner in Congress.

I’m a 68-year-old resident of the 5th District of Indiana and a lifelong Hoosier. I’m also a 13-year veteran of the United States military. And like many Americans, I’m concerned about the medical, economic and emotional crisis we are facing with the coronavirus. In these unprecedented times, I’m seeing that we’re “represented” by a Congress that’s more focused on their political careers than serving the needs of the American people.

We now more than ever need Congress to work for us, not the other way around. This is why I’m supporting Beth Henderson to represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. Beth is not a career politician but is a registered nurse and successful businesswoman who understands what’s important to those of us living in the 5th District.

Unlike the lawyers and politicians in Washington, D.C., Beth truly knows what it means to care for her fellow Americans. Her background required her to have the ability to get things done in difficult situations — she won’t be tripped up by partisan bickering.

Help offer keeps company afloat

By Heather Collins news@currentnoblesville.com Tony Jackson, a Noblesville resident and owner of Bolden’s Cleaning and Restoration, said he was looking for GIVING BACK a way his local business could help out the community during the COVID-19 pandemic when he decided to donate free professional cleaning services to the Carmel Fire Dept. and Carmel Police Dept.’s apparatus and vehicles.

Bolden’s has always donated its services to professionally clean the vehicles for CPD and CFD. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, Bolden’s added additional fogging treatments for emergency and police vehicles on a weekly basis.

As with many local businesses, Jackson said when the pandemic began, business slowed and he was concerned about keeping his employees busy. To keep his employees working, he donated his services to clean and disinfect vehicles and apparatuses for the police and fire departments throughout Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

When the City of Carmel and the City of Fishers learned that Bolden’s was offering the services, they hired the company to disinfect essential buildings throughout the cities, including their public works buildings, city halls and fire and police stations.

In Carmel, more than 150,000 square feet will be fogged on a weekly basis.

Jackson said he has been able to keep his company afloat and employees working because of the additional work that came from simply reaching out to help the community and help his employees. The Noblesville-based company has been operating for 32 years.

“As with every small business owner, I’ve

been terrified to see our normal business die down to almost nothing,” Jackson said.

“With the kindness of the two cities (Carmel and Fishers), we’re able to keep moving forward. We’re now going to be able to survive the downswing. If you do something good, it’s always going to come back around.”

The CPD and CFD buildings and vehicles are disinfected on a biweekly schedule.

The building, vehicles and apparatus are fogged with a hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant called Bioesque. Jackson said the fog is like a mist and is able to get into all the nooks and crannies that might be missed through normal cleaning.

Adam Harrington, CFD deputy chief of operations, said Bolden’s has previously assisted with restoration services for water pipe damage at CFD and has been involved with restoration services for residential houses impacted by fire damage throughout the community.

“They’ve always provided great service,” he said. “(Jackson) was being proactive in offering to disinfect our vehicles every week at no charge.”

Improve posture with wall angels Commentary by Seth Tucker In the digital age, and especially during quarantine, you may find yourself at risk for poor posture and unnecessary pain. Whether using your phone, typFITNESS ing on the computer or sitting on the couch watching TV, posture can suffer during all of these activities, causing pain and imbalances. You may notice frequent headaches, a stiff or sore neck and general back pain. By chronically rounding your shoulders forward and allowing your head to sink forward during typing, texting or any other digital activities, you put your back and posterior neck muscles on a prolonged stretch.

This can cause an overcompensation or protective effect in which the muscles on the back side of our body become stiff and sore in their effort to balance things out.

Although these activities may be nearly impossible to avoid, it doesn’t mean the painful side effects are.

By strengthening the muscles responsible for maintaining good head, neck and shoulder posture, you can alleviate pain and discomfort that many desk warriors suffer from. Here is an easy and quick exercise to help combat and reverse pain caused by poor posture. Perform this exercise slowly, using a six-count going up and a sixcount going down. It can be performed daily.

Wall angels (two or three sets of five repetitions): • Stand with your back against the wall and walk your feet out just far enough that you can keep your entire back, including hips, lower back, upper back and head, against the wall. Keep all of these points of contact through the entire exercise.

• With nearly straight arms, bring the backs of your hands up to touch the wall overhead. Keep your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders in contact with the wall while you drag your elbows out and down until you have a 90-degree bend at the elbow, similar to the “field goal” signal a football referee makes following a touchdown or field goal. If you are able to bring your elbows down farther without losing any contact points or arching your back, then do so.

• When you have reached the bottom of your range of motion, reverse the movement to bring your arms back overhead while maintaining all points of contact with the wall. Repeat this for five reps.

HSE graduate’s film focuses on grief process

ISO cancels Symphony on the Prairie season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For filmmaker Katherine Crump, her short film has a deep personal connection. “’Telling the Bees’ PRODUCTIONS is inspired by the loss of my lifelong friend who passed away in December of 2018,” said Crump, a Geist resident who wrote and is directing the 20-minute film.

“We knew each other for 15 years, grew up together, we were Girl Scouts together and moved to Bloomington to attend Indiana University together, and losing her so suddenly was a major adjustment for me and everyone who knew her. The movie focuses on both the mourning process as well as many nostalgic, joyful memories that we shared, and ultimately portrays the nonlinear, muddled nature of grief by intercutting those two timelines.

“We’re honoring the memory of a friend, but the more people I talk to about it the more I realize we’re also commiserating in a common experience of grief and loss.”

Crump said the story is a fictionalized version of the grief she experienced.

The title comes from the custom of beekeepers telling their bees major events in their lives.

Like all productions, the schedule of “Telling the Bees” has been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

“The necessary need for quarantine has affected our schedule because we were meant to be shooting this month (May) but are obviously needing to create a new plan,” said Crump, a 2014 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate. “We are still uncertain as to when that new schedule will take place, but we’re still moving forward, doing the work and making plans from home as well as we can.”

Crump said she hopes to film in late summer or fall depending on actors’ schedules.

Kristina Wagner, who plays Felicia on “General Hospital,” is Crump’s aunt. Wagner and “General Hospital” co-star Haley Pullos are in the short film, along with Cassidy Mack.

“Telling the Bees” is the third short

The summer concert season is in a state of flux for most area venues because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Indiana Gov. Eric HolCONCERTS comb released guidelines May 1 for sites to reopen June 14, with limit gatherings of 250 until July 4. After that, social distancing guidelines will be in place.

That prompted the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to announce May 4 it is canceling the 2020 Symphony on the Prairie outdoor concert series at Conner Prairie in Fishers.

For those who have purchased a value pack, ISO has provided three options: Ticket donation: ISO would like patrons to consider a tax-deductible donation of the value of the ISO tickets to support ISO’s mission during the tough economic times.

Value Pack Voucher Exchange: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for 10 ticket vouchers to the 2021 40th season of Symphony on the Prairie performances.

Value Pack Gift Certificate: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for a gift certificate, which is good through August 2021. The gift certificate can be applied to any ISO performances throughout the season.

The release stated: “Due to ongoing physical distancing recommendations and crowd size regulations from local, state and federal authorities, the ISO anticipates it will be several months before musicians and patrons can safely gather for concerts in reasonable numbers. Even if concert restrictions are lifted mid-summer in the state’s reopening plan, the remaining guidelines combined with the infrastructure required for producing Symphony on the Prairie is so complex that presenting a partial season is not financially feasible.”

Hamilton County Parks Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls said a virtual staff meeting discussed plans May 6 for the Cool Creek Concert Series, but details aren’t established.

film under the umbrella of the production company, Film Wives Productions. Crump’s producing partner is Riley Dismore, a Geist resident and Fishers High School graduate. Dismore and Crump met at Indiana University.

Geist resident Amy Pauszek, whose Where’s Amy photo column runs in Current newspapers, is a producer on the film.

Pauszek is the executive producer for “The Addict’s Wake,” which focuses on the opioid epidemic in Brown County. Zionsville resident Michael Husain is the director of the full-length documentary.

“The pandemic has made production for our feature documentary film more challenging, but it is also important that we gather material during the crisis,” Pauszek said. “The forced isolation is very difficult for those seeking recovery. We have continued to film during the pandemic because being isolated and no work for addicts makes it extremely difficult for them to stay clean, sober and healthy.

“There are more overdoses, and COVID-19 has added more stress and disruption to Brown County.”

Pauszek said they are conducting online interviews via Zoom and similar software to stay updated with those featured in the

documentary.

“We will continue fundraising avenues to get the film done because this film is not only educational for addicts and their families left behind to pick up the pieces of the wake, but we want to leave the audience with a solution and hope,” Pauszek said.

‘Mayberry Man’ filming delayed Westfield resident Cort Howell’s film, inspired by “The Andy Griffith Show,” was originally scheduled to begin principal photography May 15-17 during the “Mayberry in the Midwest” festival in Danville, but the festival has been canceled because of the pandemic.

The production schedule has been consolidated, as a portion of the movie was already scheduled to be filmed in September to coincide with the “Mayberry Days” festival in Mount Airy, N.C., Griffith’s hometown. The schedule calls for two weeks in Indiana and one week in North Carolina and Virginia, followed by two days in Los Angeles.

Howell and other producers are working with representatives from the Town of Danville to secure locations for the new dates.

I used to work as a server at the Carmel location, which has since closed, during my short stint

in college. I love the Willow Creek sandwich, layered with smoked turkey, bacon, avocado, spinach, tomatoes, mayo and mozzarella cheese on fresh-baked bread. It is served with tortilla chips. Also, I always order Lodgepoles ($5.75), which is a slab of fresh-baked bread, cut into pieces, brushed with olive oil and garlic with mozzarella and served with marinara. They are delicious.

Carmel resident helps produce virtual concert programs

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Lee Clifford is helping the American Pianists Association’s classical finalists share their PRODUCTIONS music online.

Clifford, director of marketing for the American Pianists Association for the past four years, has begun a new online series, American Pianists Awards’ “Live from the Piano Bench.” With live events postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic, many arts organizations are turning to online programming.

The series has the 2021 finalists paired with past competition winners for conversations and short performances from their home. The Facebook Live performances began April 26. The remaining 3:30 p.m. performances are: May 17, Mackenzie Melemed with 2006 winner Spencer Myer; May 24, Michael Davidman with 1981 winner Sara Davis Buechner; and May 31, Sam Hong with 1985 winner Frederic Chiu.

On March 11, American Pianists Association, which is located on Butler University’s

campus, announced the five 2021 finalists for the classical competition who will be competing during the following months leading up to the finals in April 2021.

“Some people are taping things and then making them look like a Zoom show,” Clifford said. “There is an interesting spontaneity to doing things live, so that’s what’s we’re doing.

We have two people on screen. Sometimes, both will play. Mostly, just one will play.”

To view concerts, visit American Pianists Association streams at Facebook.com/ APApianists/live. For more, visit americanpianists.org.
