Doctors explain how the fight against COVID-19 has changed

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Dr. Tracey Ikerd has spent the last several months helping patients at Riverview Health battle a disease no one had PANDEMIC heard of a year ago.

With COVID-19 not likely to end its worldwide rampage soon, doctors and researchers have scrambled to understand the new coronavirus and find a treatment or vaccine. Progress has been made, but for Ikerd, who specializes in infectious diseases, the biggest lesson learned so far is to be prepared for almost anything.

“I’m impressed with the severity of some of the patients contrasted with the extremely mild presentation of the others,” he said.

“Some are minimally symptomatic, others come and have an inexorable disastrous decline and literally fall off the end of the earth and there’s very little you can do about it. There’s times I’ve felt helpless watching people deteriorate and pulling every trick out of my pocket to keep them going, but other times people turn around almost on a dime.”

As the pandemic rages on, there’s still much to learn, but medical professionals have made great strides in understanding COVID-19 and developing treatment strategies since the disease arrived in Hamilton County in March It’s not like the flu When COVID-19 first began making headlines in the U.S., it was often compared to the flu. Although both illnesses have similar symptoms, doctors have learned they aren’t as similar as once thought.

Doctors said they are grateful COVID-19 didn’t begin spreading rapidly in the U.S. until the flu season was nearing its end, because treating surges of both diseases at the same time would have put hospital beds and personal protective equipment in even shorter supply.

What’s working Although there’s still no cure or vaccine for COVID-19, doctors have begun using treatments that appear to help some of the sickest

patients.

Riverview Chief Medical Officer Eric Marcotte said convalescent plasma, which is taken from the blood of a person who has recovered from COVID-19, seems to make the most difference, but it’s in short supply.

“That’s more valuable than gold right now,” he said. “Having the liquid part of the blood from someone that’s immune (to COVID-19) and having their antibodies to give someone that’s dying from it is miraculous.”

Those who have recovered from COVID-19 can learn more about plasma donation at versiti.org or redcrossblood.org.

Doctors also said they have seen positive results in some patients given remdesivir, an antiviral drug developed by Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, although it wasn’t effective against that disease. The drug is in short supply, so it’s only given to the sickest patients.

It’s not as deadly as first thought As doctors continue learning more about COVID-19, the chances of surviving it continue to rise.

“The chances of dying and the chances of having significant complications and problems in the hospital have been dropping pretty much every week,” Marcotte said.

In June, 6.2 percent of the COVID-19 cases reported in Indiana were fatal. That number dropped to 5.6 percent in May and 4.3 percent in June. Hamilton County saw 68 COVID-19 deaths in April, 21 in May and 7 in June.

To our valued readers: We hope you are well and are enjoying the start of summer!

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 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 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, and a supply of the editions will be made available at these locations each week: • Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza.

In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

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.

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

Noblesville resident teaches evolution at IU Kokomo

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Lina Rifai’s work revolves around teaching IU Kokomo students about evolution and diversity of life.

PROFILE Rifai, an associate professor of vertebrate biology, is a Noblesville resident.

“We talk about how natural selection works or how organisms change over time and populations change over time and the different driving forces behind it. We use this in class to introduce diversity of life,” Rifai said. “We go over a lot of different concepts that are often misunderstood about evolution.”

Rifai said “survival of the fittest” is not necessarily the best term to describe evolution.

“We tend to think about fit being strong and fast, but it’s about reproduction and who can have the most offspring the most

successfully,” Rifai said.

The class also covers the five major mass-extinction events.

“Once we get to the current period, we do a project about how we are currently undergoing mass extinction (and cover) what mass extinction is in more detail, which is losing a lot of species in a short time,” Rifai said. “We talk about how we ourselves affect our own surroundings, because obviously we are part of nature. How are we responsible for the mass extinction occurring?”

Rifai often focuses on Indiana in her class.

“We talk about interesting endangered animals or plants or other life, but I think it’s more relatable (in Indiana),” she said.

Rifai has taught the class since 2010.

She also teaches human anatomy and ornithology.

“Evolution and bird biology are mostly my field of research,” she said.

NHS student places birdhouses

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Gabriella Chambers’ love of eastern bluebirds fueled her desire to place birdhouses in the community.

NATURE “Predators are threatening their existence,” Chambers said. “By putting up more birdhouses, it will help to improve the population. I also want to be a veterinarian because I want to help animals, and this was a good way to help them.”

Chambers, who will be a Noblesville High School sophomore in August, decided to make the project the focus of her Girl Scout Gold Award, the equivalent of the Eagle Scout for Boy Scouts.

“Getting the funds via my GoFundMe page to purchase the houses and supplies is essential,” said Chambers, a member of Troop 757 in Noblesville. “Watching birds is good for mental health based on research I found while investigating my project, and it adds a little bit of positivity that we could all use right now. I will be installing at least 35 or more birdhouses around the community and plan to get more with any additional dona-

tions. This should help the bluebird population over the next several years.

The birdhouses will be distributed primarily in Noblesville, surrounding areas and Cool Creek Park. The distribution will be in various neighborhoods. There will be one on display at Noblesville’s Hamilton East Public Library children’s section.

Chambers has a goal of raising $800 for the project. For her GoFundMe page, visit gf. me/u/ycc22q.

State officials warn of rising COVID-19 cases

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

The state has continued to track the data of its four guiding principles for reopening: COVID-19 hospitalization rates, ICU bed and ventilator capacity, testing capacity and the ability to contact trace all positive COVID-19 cases. Box said the rising number of hospitalized patients confirmed the state’s decision to delay its move to Stage 5 of its reopening plan, which would have lifted capacity restrictions for most businesses and events, assuming they take proper measures for patrons to socially distance and promote sanitization practices. The state is in Stage 4.5 of its reopening plan.

Consequently, the Indiana State Fairgrounds has canceled the fun park that was scheduled to start July 31.

Smaller 4-H fair shows will still be held at the fairgrounds.

Herd immunity Box said the state is far from establishing herd immunity – when enough of a population has antibodies to stop its spread – and it is likely not a viable plan for combating COVID-19.

Indiana reported a positive antibody rate of 1.5 percent in the second phase of a study conducted by the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI, data from which was released June 17. The findings indicate more than 98 percent of Hoosiers are still susceptible to the virus.

Box also cast doubt on how long antibodies last. She said recent studies suggest antibodies may not last the duration of a person’s life, possibly not lasting longer than a few months.

State officials confirmed Indiana COVID-19 cases are rising during a July 7 press briefing.

Indiana State Health PANDEMIC Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said hospitalized COVID-19 cases in the state increased from 595 on June 26 to 667 on July 7. The state’s seven-day average positivity rate also rose from a low of 4.1 percent on June 18 to a Box high of 5.9 percent on July 4.

Box said the state expected the number of total cases to increase as more Indiana residents are tested, but she also said she hoped that would coincide with a decrease in the positivity rate of COVID-19 cases, which, after mid-June, also has increased.

“You really want to be testing so many people that your positivity rate is down below 5 percent,” Box said. “That’s what we’d like to see. Now, we’ve seen that creep up as we’ve seen it in some pockets across the state, and that could be a sign we are seeing more actual outbreaks, more actual cases not just related to the number of people we are testing.”

But data analyzed by Regenstrief Institute, a research organization, indicated the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations has remained steady, Box said. The institute analyzed data from 47,329 distinct COVID-19 positive tests since March 1 logged 0 TOUR

I V Of the cases analyzed, 11,727 (25 percent) positive patients visited an emergency department, 7,333 (16 percent) were hospitalized and 1,540 (3 percent) were admitted to an intensive care unit.

The institute reported 1,540 (21 percent) of the 7,333 hospitalized patients were admitted to an intenFox Hill Manor sive care unit, or 3 percent of the 47,329 total cases analyzed.

Noblesville Police Dept. purchases body cameras for all officers

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Police Dept. has explored acquiring body cameras for its officers for quite a while. After allowing officers to try out a number of technologies, the department purchased 95 BodyWorn cameras.

“We left it up to the officers,” NPD Chief John Mann said.

“Initially, they prototyped three different systems. From an administrative strandpoint, there are a lot of things about BodyWorn cameras that other companies don’t offer.”

BodyWorn offers an officer-down feature, so when an officer is prone, the camera automatically turns on and sends an alert out to nearby officers. Other features include automatic downloading of footage to the cloud, so videos cannot be deleted and the cameras don’t have to be docked when officers return to roll call.

Morever, the camera is a Motorola phone that attaches to the officer’s uniform, so it is unlikely to fall out and can’t be removed by a suspect.

BodyWorn also provided holster sensors, so if an officer pulls a weapon from the holster, the camera automatically activates. It also activates when a police cruiser’s lights are turned on, whenever an officer receives a call through dispatch, if the officer starts running or if the police cruiser reaches an accelerated speed, among other scenarios.

NPD has never had a body camera system, but it installed cameras in its cars 20 years ago.

“They started looking at the body camera process well over a year ago,” Mann said. “It’s not something we wanted to rush through and get a system that didn’t work well for officers. We wanted something to work well for officers but

There are sensors in the holsters so whenever an officer pulls a gun, the body camera turns on.

A 365-DEGREE SYSTEM Director of Public Safety Chad Knecht said BodyWorn cameras offer a full package when providing materials for police departments.

“That’s one thing in talking about why BodyWorn as opposed to some other products,” Knecht said. “That full 365-degrees from officer perspective and reliable and secure equipment that allows us to do the job better with the lack of the ability to delete the video from the device ensures integrity of the footage.

“As well as automatic integration with our CAD system, it provides that transparency. The camera is going to go on unless you turn it off, and then you have to articulate why.” also enhance transparency with the community.”

The cost for the 95 cameras, the in-car integration systems, the cameras for the front and back of the cars as well as the department’s interview rooms was $1.2 million. The package also came with a gunshot detection system that plugs into an outlet and will be installed in the city’s sensitive public and government facilities in mid- to late-October.

Officers were equipped with the cameras late last month.

“We took the step to give one to every detective and all the investigators as well,” Director of Public Safety Chad Knecht said.

So far, NPD officers are pleased with the BodyWorn cameras.

“Some of it was just the security with the mounting system for (other non-BodyWorn systems). They were an externally mounted system, and in body camera videos, sometimes (the camera) ends up on the ground,” Deputy Chief of Patrol Eric Cunningham said. “There’s an ease of use of not having to dock it, the security of system, and essentially it was a touchless system that took a lot of thinking out of it.”

NPD officers work 12-hour shifts, and so far, the cameras’ batteries have lasted throughout each shift. The cameras ensure footage is recorded.

“There are deliberate steps you have to do to turn it off, so you don’t have to worry about hitting or rubbing something in a fight and having it turn off,” Mann said.

ESSAY

LETTER

Scout’s honor

Subtle racism abounds

Commentary by Terry Anker These long, hot afternoons provide terrific opportunities to catch up on a good book or movie indoors — and many of us partake. In a particularly oldschool kind of a way, this past weekend delivered a handful of Clint Eastwood films. Two with him as an actor and two as a director. Overall, they were good fun. As the weather turned to storms and our current circumstances tend to keep us home, abundant time allowed for the luxury of watching the extra features often included with DVDs and even some online services. Both of the modern flicks, “The 15:17 to Paris” and “Richard Jewell,” told the stories of the filmmakers and the true-life protagonists in the movies, often labeled as “Boy Scouts” in passing.

The first recounts the events of three young Americans who stop a terrorist while on vacation heading to Paris. And we remember Richard Jewell as the hapless hero who saved countless lives in a bombing at the Atlanta Summer Olympic Games in 1996. Needing a quick solution to restore confidence in the public and to avoid global shaming, the media and FBI found a convenient scapegoat in the law-and-order Jewell. After wrongly initiating what would become a gratuitous public spectacle, the government arrested the actual bomber with a full, if not boastful, confession. Jewell died of heart failure at age 44.

The actors and crew posited that Jewell was too much of a “Boy Scout” to be believed. Scouts and their parents will remember that a Scout aspires to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. The cynicism of the government’s agent might reflect experience. But might not it also reflect that one who lives a life without character cannot imagine another where it is not only imagined, but lived?

Taking a parenting victory lap Commentary by Danielle Wilson We’ve done it, friends! My husband Doo and I have successfully launched our fourth and final child into the world HUMOR of licensed automobile drivers.

We’re still two cars short, our insurance is about to go through the roof and I probably won’t sleep for the next few years worrying about her on roundabouts, but this is certainly a major milestone in our parenting careers and one that deserves commemorating — for me, especially.

Having served as the primary chauffeur at Chez Wilson since 2001, the ability to hand over a set of keys to our youngest little darling when she needs to go to work/ school/dance/Castleton is literally a dream come true. She may be loving her newfound independence, but I am luxuriating in it!

And when I think about the road we’ve traveled to ensure that our offspring are now somewhat autonomous humans, I’m amazed that Doo and I are both still fairly

normal, high-functioning people. We survived potty training, preschool antics, PTO politics, picky eaters, sibling fights, middle school drama, what feels like thousands of soccer, volleyball and basketball games, scary rashes and ER runs, “sex” talks, family vacation shenanigans, adolescent poor-decision-making, a brief stint with Master Yoo’s Taekwondo, teenage heartbreak and heartache and an orthodontics bill that arrived monthly for nearly a decade. Raising kids has not been easy; it is not easy. But we persevered, and here we are, basically on the final lap of that Parenting 500. Sure, they live at home and none of them have secured long-term employment, but they all now have the tools necessary to go into the world and adult. We did it!

Peace out.

Raising kids has not been easy; it is not easy.

But we persevered, and here we are, basically on the final lap of that Parenting 500.

Editor, George Floyd’s death was not subtle but has made me consider our society’s many subtle racist attitudes.

Our national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” is ironically symbolic of the underlying subtle unspoken racial bias that permeates the United States.

This anthem was derived from a poem written by Francis Scott Key in 1814, a man who owned Africans as slaves and was an avowed racist who considered Africans an inferior race. He tried to stop Abolitionists from even voicing their opinion about slavery.

The third stanza of his original poem referenced seeking out and killing “hirelings and slaves” who were fleeing to the British to seek their freedom. Clearly, the “land of the free” did not refer to African slaves whose descendants are now “African Americans.” Despite this, “The Star-Spangled Banner” became our official national anthem in 1931, despite the abolition of slavery almost 70 years before. Racism was much less subtle then; just ask any Ku Klux Klan member.

It took another 33 years before the Civil Rights Act was passed, but even then, racism was more open and less subtle.

Robert Baker, Carmel

Life in a suburban New York Petrie dish Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Carl Reiner has passed. By now, you have read countless accolades about this comic genius and have seen dozens HUMOR of examples of his work. I have little more to add, except that Carl Reiner’s creation, “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” had a special significance in my life.

In the comedy series, the Petries’ suburban home was portrayed as being in New Rochelle, N.Y., my birthplace and home for 30 years. It’s a bedroom community of 60,000, 20 miles north of New York City. Not only was I born and raised there, but I went back after college to New Rochelle High School to teach from 1969 to 1978.

All my adult life, when I’ve mentioned my hometown, the first thing people say is, “Oh, that’s where Rob and Laura Petrie lived.” Of course, they didn’t really, but lots of other famous people did, and below are some of my favorites.

Don Hewitt, creator and producer of “60 Minutes,” attended New Rochelle High School in the late ’30s and is considered the best-known graduate of all, according to a list compiled by one alumni association.

Everyone else whose name appears in this column was on this list, as well, except me. I am unofficially considered the most famous person ever to teach sophomore English at NRHS.

All my adult life, when I’ve mentioned my hometown, the first thing people say is, “Oh, that’s where Rob and Laura Petrie lived.” Of course, they didn’t really, but lots of other famous people did, and below are some of my favorites.

Willie Mays, the New York Giants center fielder, and arguably the greatest player of all time, lived in New Rochelle for several years. I was a Dodgers fan, but I admired the “Say Hey Kid” and would drive past his house all the time with the hopes of seeing him. How many times did I catch a glimpse?

Let’s just say I batted zero.

Dave Berg had an apartment in New

Rochelle. He was a cartoonist for Mad Magazine and creator of the series titled “The Lighter Side of…,” which skewered life in suburbia. I didn’t know him, but I called him one day out of the blue and asked him to talk to my writing class at the high school.

When we met, he told me I reminded him of Alfred E. Neuman. Other than that, I am glad I called.

During one parent/teacher night, a distinguished-looking man came into my classroom and told me his son was my student and that he had some concerns about how I was teaching my writing course. I expressed polite shock. He introduced himself as E.L. Doctorow. I realized he was the novelist who wrote “Ragtime,” an international bestseller. I had not connected the surname with his son. Now, I felt like Alfred E. Neuman.

Ashlin Hadden Insurance moves to new location

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Ashlin Hadden interviewed for a job with a well-known insurance firm, the male interviewer told her GROWTH insurance was a man’s industry and that the men would outsell her.

Hadden took that as a challenge.

“I said, ‘You know what? I’ll take the job, and I’m going to prove you wrong,’” Hadden said. “I was Rookie of the Year and the top rep in the state.”

The Noblesville resident went on to launch her own insurance company — Ashlin Hadden Insurance — but she wasn’t always in insurance. She previously worked in banking when her then-mother-in-law told her about the job at the insurance firm.

“I made it a personal challenge to prove him wrong. I worked with (the firm) as an agent for three years,” she said. “The third renewal came around and all of my customers’ rates were going up, and they came to me and said, ‘What can you do?’ I couldn’t do anything because we only sold (for the firm), so I was losing tons of clients.

“I decided to go out on my own, open my own agency and become a broker so I could sell for several different companies.”

Hadden opened her agency in 2014. She recently moved locations from downtown Noblesville to 10911 Greenfield Ave. Most of her business is in ecommerce.

“One of my clients called me and he was selling on Amazon as a third-party seller, and he said Amazon was changing the rules

and he had to have a business liability policy. At the time, I didn’t know anything about ecommerce or about Amazon, but I was able to find him the policy,” she said. “He came back and said he was part of a Facebook page that had 15,000 followers, and they all need this policy.

“Ecommerce is a niche helping protect online sellers, and it took off like crazy.”

In addition to running her own agency, Hadden is an active volunteer with the parks department, her church and the PTO board at Promise Road Elementary. She has two sons, Gavin, 8, and Coltin, 5. She has spoken at 30 conferences on insurance and protecting businesses. For more, visit ecom. insure.

Carmel family commits to serving in hospitals during pandemic

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The three children of Dr. Lyree Mikhail and her husband, Dr. Peter Marcus, were concerned for their parents’ health when the coronavirus pandemic shook GIVING BACK up the United States in mid-March.

Mikhail is an obstetrician-gynecologist at IU Health West Hospital, and Marcus is an OB-GYN at Ascension St. Vincent. Their children were dismissed from their Purdue University dorms and came home to conclude the semester virtually.

“There was a lot of fear at the beginning for me and my husband with us both on the front lines,” said Mikhail, whose family lives in Carmel. “They were scared, and they also were upset with disruption in their lives. I had a heartto-heart conversation with them about the fact we are fortunate people. We have work, a home, we have food and we are safe. They are relatively healthy. The best thing to do would be to make a commitment to the rest of society, and perhaps working in health care might be the best way to do that during the time of COVID.” The three decided to work as patient care assistants.

Fishers resident takes on challenge of the Beast in Wisdom Builders Theater production

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Peter Fulton certainly doesn’t feel he was typecast in one of the title roles in “Beauty and the Beast.”

MUSICAL “The most challenging part about playing the Beast is being angry,’’ Fulton said. ‘I’m a pretty cool-headed person, so it feels unnatural to grunt and yell at everyone.

Also, it’s been a challenge learning to yell without damaging my voice.”

The Fishers resident portrays the Beast in the Wisdom Builders Community Theater’s production of “Beauty and the Beast” July 24 to Aug. 1 at The Auditorium at The Annex, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville.

Fulton, a 2019 Colonial Christian High School graduate who is attending IUPUI, is making his first appearance with Wisdom Builders Community Theater.

“Actually, I had never thought about playing the Beast,” said Fulton, who was selected for the 2019 Songbook Academy summer intensive. “I didn’t audition for any specific character, so I was pleasantly surprised when the director called me back for a lead role.”

In contrast, Abby Emerick had definitely thought about playing Belle.

“Belle has always been my favorite Disney princess and it’s always been a dream role of mine,” she said.

A 19-year-old Whitestown resident, Emerick said “Be Our Guest” is her favorite song “I love the music, choreography, and it’s just a really fun song to be on stage during,” she said.

Emerick, a cosmetology graduate who works at a salon in Carmel, attended Wisdom Builders Co-Op for homeschooled students. She had previously performed in Wisdom Builders musicals.

Carmel resident Daniel “Huffy” Tolbert plays Lumiere.

“Lumiere is absolutely a fantastic role for me,” Tolbert said. “During auditions, I thought it would be the best fit for me,

although I would have been happy with any role.

“I love all the songs, but my favorite might be ‘The Mob Song.’”

Tolbert’s wife, Robin Tolbert, plays Babette, the feather duster.

“I have never seen Tolbert ‘Beauty and the Beast’ performed on stage but have long loved the movie and have been interested in performing the musical for many years,” he said.

Noblesville resident Nick Haskins is cast as Haskins Cogsworth.

“Unlike other comedic characters like Lumiere and Chip, he doesn’t seem to realize how overdramatic he tends to be, which makes him easy to laugh at,” Haskins said.

“At the same time, he also has a big heart and the best intentions for his prince and companions. We’ve done a lot of work to reconcile his big, exaggerated reactions with his genuine moments of sincerity in a way that feels right for the character. So far, I’m happy with the result.”

Haskins views “Beauty and the Beast” as a classic.

“It might be the best animated movie Disney has ever made, which is pretty high praise,” Haskins said. “It’ll be exciting to see how everything translates from the screen to the stage.”

Haskins, 22, has been part of Wisdom Builders Community Theater for several years.

“Many of the show’s cast members return from our previous shows, such as ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ and ‘Around the World in 80 Days,’” Haskins said. “Each of the leads have done an incredible job with their characters, and the ensemble is very committed to making this show the best it can be.”

The cast members began their first table read at the end of January.

“However, due to quarantine, we had to continue our rehearsals over Zoom,” Fulton said. “This was difficult, since it was near impossible to sync up our lines or practice musical numbers. In late May, we began in-person rehearsals outdoors.”

The performances are at 7 p.m. July 24, 25, 30 and 31 and 2 p.m. July 25 and Aug. 1.

Tickets are $10. For more, visit wbtheater.com.

Author shares love of sharks, baseball Editor’s Note: Mark Ambrogi has known Michael DiVitto Kelly for nearly 50 years. He is a younger brother of Current Publishing Inc. publisher and Carmel resident Brian Kelly

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael DiVitto Kelly figured the adage “write what you know” fits.

“So, I thought I’ve always loved the film ‘Jaws,’ BOOK and I’ve always been a Cincinnati Reds fan,” Kelly said.

Kelly, who goes by DiVitto Kelly as an author, got an idea while watching YouTube clips of the Reds’ 1975 World Series victory against Boston.

Kelly came up with a way to include those two loves in his book, “Summer of the Shark,” which was published by World Kelly Castle Publishing and released in June.

Ryan Sullivan, a 12-year-old from the fictional town of Madison Hill, Ohio, spends the summer of 1974 with his grandfather at Martha’s Vineyard. They attend Red Sox games and are hired as extras for the movie “Jaws” as it’s being filmed there.

The next year, he and his grandfather share their love of baseball during the World Series, and “Jaws” makes its debut.

“It was a lot of fun writing this story because it was

bringing back memories of living in Cincinnati,” said Kelly, who grew up in Cincinnati before moving to Florida at age 13. “It’s a coming-of-age, youngadult story. By near the end of the story, he’s 13 and meets a girl who is a Reds fan. As an adult, he recounts that 1975 was his favorite year.”

Kelly researched the games and the making of “Jaws” to make the book historically accurate.

He previously wrote “Globster,” which was released in December 2019 by World Castle.

“The publisher is pushing it to be made into a movie,” Kelly said. “It’s horror mixed with a little humor.”

A librarian, Kelly is a papier-mache artist and plays bass guitar. He became more interested in writing while serving as editor of the Seminole Tribe of Florida newspaper.

The book is available on Amazon.com.

“It’s a coming-of-age, young-adult story. By near the end of the story, he’s 13 and meets a girl who is a Reds fan.

As an adult, he recounts that 1975 was his favorite year.”

Concert at the Commons set editorial@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Parks and Recreation Dept. has announced its 2020 Concert at the Commons schedule.

Federal Hill Commons will host eight free concerts between July 11 and Sept. 26, where attendees of all ages are invited to bring chairs and blankets to enjoy a concert in the park.

The French onion slider, left, and the corned beef brisket slider. Typically, three sliders come per order. (Submitted photo)

AJ’s Bar & Grill

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9755 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis What to get: Corned beef brisket sliders Price: $12.49 Anna’s take: I tried two of AJ’s Bar & Grill’s famous sliders — the French onion ($11.49) and the corned beef brisket. Three sliders come per order. You can’t mix and match, but they are generous portions.

The corned beef brisket sliders include house-roasted corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing on toasted buns. The French onion is like the soup but on a bun with beef, caramelized onions and melted Gruyere cheese.

I also tried the soup trio, which includes sampler sizes of Kevin’s Kicked Up Chili, tomato bisque and cream of mushroom and a breadstick. For something more filling, try Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun Meatloaf ($16.99), which is a pound of chargrilled meatloaf with a little bit of spice. It’s served with garlic mashed potatoes and a vegetable.

Behind bars: The Voodoo Bucket Get it at AJ’S Bar & Grill, Lawrence Ingredients: 3 oz. cranberry juice, 3. oz pineapple juice, 1 oz. Cruzan Banana Rum, 1 oz. Cruzan Citrus Rum, 1 oz.

Cruzan Coconut Rum, 0.5 oz. Cruzan Dark Rum, 1 oz. Cruzan Pineapple Rum Directions: Fill bucket with ice, pour and serve

Blueprint for Improvement: Reimagined laundry room in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The plumbing for the washing machine and vent for the dryer were moved to the back wall. This immediately opened up the space and made everything more accessible.

2. The homeowners chose maple cabinetry with a soft white painted finish. The cabinets are topped with a Cambria granite countertop.

3. Oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, including faucet and cabinet pulls, complete the look.

4. The porcelain tile floor — laid in a classic herringbone pattern — is the stunning finishing touch on this remodel.

THE CHALLENGE This 2011 home is in The Woods at Thorpe Creek neighborhood in Fishers. The original layout of the laundry room was not well designed — the washer and dryer extended so far into the room that it was difficult to maneuver to the cabinet and sink area.

TAKE IT FROM A AND BETTER CUSTOMER “The 55 and Better ads work really well for us, and I am glad we chose to do this! Thank you!”

Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, is famous for its out-of-this-world topography. It also is famous for the TRAVEL churches and their magnificent frescoes that have long taken advantage of that topography.

Cappadocia lies on a plateau formed when volcanic eruptions from the Taurus Mountains produced layers of hardened lava. Through time, wind and water differentially eroded the lava layers, producing thousands of cone-shaped structures called “fairy chimneys.” For at least 2,500 years, residents of Cappadocia have hollowed out these fairy chimneys to create their homes, the lava providing excellent insulation and protection from enemies.

Cappadocians have been important to Christianity from its earliest days. The Book of Acts (2:9) reports that Cappadocians were present in Jerusalem during the first Pentecost. In the fourth century, theologians known as the “Cappadocian Fathers” helped articulate the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. One of them, Basil of Caesarea, encouraged the establishment of monasteries in Cappadocia, where Christian ascetics could practice their

faith in solitude. Eventually, up to 600 small churches were created inside the fairy chimneys for use by Cappadocia’s monks. Artists covered the interior walls of many of the churches with colorful frescoes illustrating important biblical and church events.

Today, 11 of the finest of Cappadocia’s monastic churches are open to the public as part of the Goreme Open Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984. Because of the absence of natural light inside the fairy chimneys, many of the frescoes are very well-preserved and others have been meticulously restored. Some of the frescoes were created in the eighth century, when Byzantine Iconoclasts outlawed images of the divine. But most of the frescoes date to the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries, when it was again permissible to portray Jesus.

Scenes of St. George slaying the dragon are common, as are pictures of important biblical figures.
