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

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.

An alternative could be to consider using a Halloween-themed cloth mask, health officials said.

The CDC has grouped many traditional fall/Halloween activities into risk rankings: Low-risk activities: • Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of the same household, or outside at a safe distance with friends • Doing a Halloween scavenger hunt inside a resident’s home Moderate-risk activities (assuming masks are worn and 6 feet of social distancing is maintained): • Participating in one-way tick-or-treating where individually wrapped bags are lined up for families • Having a small group, outdoor, openaired costume parade • Attending a costume party outdoors • Visiting pumpkin patches or orchards where people use hand sanitizer before touching pumpkins or picking apples Higher-risk activities: • Participating in traditional trick-ortreating where treats are handed to children who go door-to-door • Having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots • Attending crowded costume parties indoors • If an activity may induce screaming, greater distancing is advised.

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.

Same As U student earns enrichment scholarship

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mariea Best has wanted her daughter, Maddie Best, to have the opportunity to keep learning.

EDUCATION Same As U, a Noblesville nonprofit that offers educational classes for young adults with intellectual and development disabilities, is giving her that opportunity. Maddie, 26, was selected as a recipient of the prestigious O’Neill Tabani Enrichment Fund scholarship, which is worth $3,000, awarded by The National Down Syndrome Society.

The award is given to young adults with Down syndrome who are enriching their lives by taking classes or enrolling in post-secondary educational programs.

“Maddie has been such a great fit at Same As U, and we are so honored NDSS gave her this award and deemed us a worthy place for post-secondary education,” Same As U Executive Director Jennifer Sell said.

Best said her daughter, who lives with her in Zionsville, has attended Same As U since the nonprofit opened in January. She takes classes two days a week in person and two days of virtual classes.

“She is learning skills she needs,” Best said. “What she really needs help on is math. She is really strong in social studies and history.”

Best said Same As U fills an important need because there weren’t any post-secondary options when Maddie graduated from Zionsville Community High School in 2013.

Her daughter did a one-year internship with Project Search at St. Vincent Health’s in Carmel and had rotations in different areas.

“She then worked at Best Friends Pet Care for about a year,” Best said. “She then moved on to ManorCare Summer Trace in Carmel. She wanted to do something that was a meaningful job versus washing dishes or taking care of a dog, something she wanted to do. Same As U offers educational training and keeps her learning and interested. Her dream job is to be a barista in a coffee shop. We’re hoping she can work in a coffee shop and not just sweep floors.

We’re hoping she can whip up some lattes and some fun tracks.”

Best said Same As U helps her daughter continue to learn.

“When she was in high school, she had to take life-skills classes, art or chorus,” Best said. “We felt we missed out on the more challenging courses. This is a chance to recoup that.”

Best said her daughter is an excellent ballroom dancer.

“I like people to cheer me on,” Maddie said of her dancing. “I like performing.”

Maddie said another goal is to be able to live independently and take Ivy Tech classes after she finishes at Same As U. Maddie, who started dancing in Special Olympics before moving on to private lessons, won a 2019 Brandon Gruber Scholarship from the NDSS to study dance.

“Maddie wants to teach other people with special needs how to dance,” Best said.

“She has a natural talent.”

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.

BACKGROUND: Ben Weidner of Zionsville tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his knee in February 2020 while playing basketball. A longtime athlete in soccer and basketball, he played competitively for Zionsville Community High School and for elite travel teams.

He sought treatment from Methodist Sports Medicine Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Thomas Klootwyk so that he could get on the road to recovery and resume playing the sports he loves. Dr. Klootwyk did surgery in March to repair Ben’s ACL. Ben then went through various stages of rehab at MSM at the Grand Park Clinic in Westfield, and is now on track to resume athletic participation at DePauw University as a dual sport athlete in soccer and basketball.

THE RECOVERY: “Ben was an exceptional patient to work with! He had an unbelievable work ethic and motivation to better himself every time he came into the clinic.

He always wanted to be pushed to his limits and he Nick Chandler, DPT wasn’t afraid to leave everything he had in the weight room or on the turf. He was one of those types of patients that physical therapists love working with!”

Prevail to go purple to raise awareness

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com With October being National Domestic Violence Prevention Month, Prevail is encouraging the community PREVENTION to embrace a Go Purple campaign Purple is the symbolic color to raise awareness about domestic violence.

“It’s an opportunity for the community to get involved because the issues we deal with, especially domestic violence, is so underreported and so many people feel really uncomfortable talking about the topic in public,” said Susan Ferguson, executive director of Prevail, a Hamilton County nonprofit that advocates for victims of crime and abuse.

“They may not reach out for help because it doesn’t feel like something we should be talking about with our neighbors and friends, so this Go Purple campaign is a way for people to demonstrate we take this seriously, that we want to do something about it and we care about it so victims feel better about asking for help when they need it.”

wear purple, then share the group’s pictures with Prevail and use the hashtag #GoPurplePrevail. To sign up, visit prevailinc.org.

Ferguson said it is important that domestic violence victims are comfortable coming forward for help when they need it.

“It’s also for the rest of us to stand up and tell people who might want to perpetrate domestic violence that’s not acceptable in our community,” she said.

Ferguson said the campaign’s exposure helps the public know there are services

available at Prevail.

Although the Go Purple campaign is not necessarily a fundraiser, Ferguson said the nonprofit welcomes donations.

“We can’t do what we do without a community supporting us,” Ferguson said.

Prevail has served nearly 50,000 victims of crime and abuse during the past 34 years. Last year, of the nearly 4,000 clients served at Prevail, 52 percent were adults, teens and children who were victims of family violence.

Don’t cut Medicare funding Commentary by Dr. John McGoff At the height of the pandemic, you could see the signs everywhere — “Thank you to the heroes.” Doctors, nursVIEWPOINT es and clinicians across the country have risked their lives to treat patients suffering from this deadly virus. We owe these heroes our thanks and complete support.

But Washington, D.C., is planning cuts for critical front-line providers. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is preparing to lower the reimbursement rate for patients covered by Medicare. CMS already reimburses providers below the cost to provide treatment, and further reductions will be disastrous for already struggling care providers.

In March, state and local governments across the country mandated hospitals and clinics cancel or postpone elective treatments. This was a smart move at the time, and it freed critical resources to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. But many health care providers took a heavy hit. Emergency departments saw 50 percent fewer patients, and some specialties, including

anesthesia, saw almost 70 percent fewer patients in March and April.

With fewer patients, there have been almost 800,000 jobs lost in health care since February. CMS’ decision to reduce reimbursement rates will put further financial strain on struggling health care providers.

Since 2010, more than 130 rural hospitals have closed and hundreds of hospitals and clinics in rural communities remain at high risk of closing. Cutting Medicare reimbursement rates could be the final nail in the coffin for rural hospitals across Indiana.

Congress worked this spring to pass the bipartisan CARES Act, which gave needed aid to heroic front-line providers. Congress, including U.S. Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), has the power to support our health care heroes and postpone this disastrous rate cut.

Front-line providers are warning Congress that this pay cut will have disastrous consequences.

Dr. John McGoff is former President of the Indiana State Medical Association, a retired Brigadier General in the Air National Guard and served as the Marion County Coroner for two terms. To contact him, email info@youarecurrent.com.

Former Hamilton County magistrate sentenced

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A former Hamilton County magistrate has been sentenced for possession of methamphetamine and resisting law enforcement after accepting a plea agreement in early August.

Special Judge Thomas R. Lett sentenced COURTS Greenaway Sept. 24 to one year of probation for both counts to be served concurrently. He also ordered Greenaway to pay $435 in court costs and fees and complete a drug/alcohol evaluation. The plea agreement included the court dropping a third count of obstruction of

Even now, timing is everything in treating a heart attack

The emergency room is still the right place for immediate care for heart attacks, with precautions in place for your safety Heather Imel woke one morning to tightness in her chest and numbness in her arm. She didn’t ignore the pain. Instead, she went to the emergency room at an Ascension hospital.

Her emergency room care teams immediately ran a series of tests that revealed she’d had a minor heart attack.

“I was scared to death,” recalled Heather, “but my doctors reassured me that it was going to be OK.” She was quickly transported to a dedicated heart care center, where a minimally invasive heart catheterization revealed she had four blockages and would need openheart surgery.

“Once you recognize the symptoms of a heart attack, taking immediate action is the most important thing you can do to prevent permanent damage to your heart,” said Edward Fry, MD, Chair of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Services at Ascension St. Vincent.

“Patients can trust that our emergency rooms are prepared to deliver urgent heart care with full safety precautions in place.”

Don’t delay emergency care for heart attack symptoms “Our research shows some patients are delaying or even avoiding trips to the ER, even when they have heart attack symptoms,” said Jonathan Nalli, Senior Vice President, Ascension, and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension St. Vincent. “Not getting the urgent heart care they need can have a serious and lasting impact on their health. If you have these symptoms, don’t wait – not even a few minutes.”

During a heart attack, timing is critical. Every minute that goes by can lead to lost heart muscle and potentially permanent damage. The faster that the flow of blood can be restored to a blocked artery, the better the outcome for patients.

ERs at Ascension St Vincent hospitals are always open 24/7, with labs and imaging services on-site. Emergency care teams are able to connect patients to experienced cardiologists, vascular specialists and heart surgeons at Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center, so they can get personalized follow-up care for their heart conditions, including cardiac rehabilitation.

Heart care teams at Ascension St. Vincent have expertise in leaky heart valves, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), heart catheterization, structural heart damage, and minimally invasive heart procedures for blocked arteries that do not require open-heart surgery.

Ascension St. Vincent also has the largest chronic total occlusion (CTO) program in the Indiana region.

Know the symptoms of a heart attack People who recognize the warning signs of a heart attack – whether in themselves, friends or loved ones – shouldn’t wait to get emergency care. And it’s important to realize that women may experience heart attacks differently than men. Watch for these symptoms and talk about them with loved ones: • Chest pain or discomfort.

• Discomfort or pain in arm or shoulder.

These symptoms may also be present frequently in men but are more common in women: • Lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting.

• Jaw, neck or back pain.

• Shortness of breath.

Taking strong precautions to protect patients and caregivers Visits to medical facilities decreased when the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began because many people have been concerned about exposure to the virus.

But Ascension St. Vincent facilities are fully prepared for the safety of patients in our care. And, seeking ER care

quickly for serious conditions like heart attacks can help save lives and improve recovery.

Ascension St. Vincent Noblesville has implemented strict precautions.

Precautions include: • Providing masks to all who enter Ascension St. Vincent hospitals and ERs. • Virtual waiting rooms to keep loved ones connected and updated.

• Maintaining proper social distancing in waiting rooms.

• Designating separate emergency triage and care areas for patients with symptoms of COVID-19.

• Continuing to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Screening patients, visitors, doctors, nurses and care teams.

• Extensively cleaning and disinfecting all areas.

Compassionate, personalized care – even when the need is urgent Heather’s heart health improved considerably following her surgery and rehabilitation. Her family is thankful for the immediate, comprehensive and compassionate care she received from the moment she arrived at the ER to her follow-up appointments, which were made for her by the ER concierge program at Ascension St. Vincent.

“They really care. They want to make things better,” she said. “They want to make sure you’re given 100 percent of their care.”

If you or a loved one is experiencing heart attack symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the chest or arm, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Find an Ascension St. Vincent hospital ER at GetStVincentCare.com. © Ascension 2020. All rights reserved.

Climbing gym changes ownership, offers activities

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com In bouldering, a subset of rock climbing, routes are commonly called “problems,” and Climb Time Indy co-owner ToFITNESS pher Bell sure had a problem on his hands when he and his business partner Tod Utter were forced to close the gym in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bell, of Indianapolis, and Utter, of Noblesville, assumed ownership of the Geist/Fishers area climbing gym when the previews owner, Steve Allen, pursued a different career path after owning the gym for 15 years.

Bell and Utter became co-owners in November 2019. Just a few months later, they had to close the gym. Climb Time Indy, which operates at 25 percent capacity, reopened in June. Climbers are required to wear face coverings at all times.

Yet, Bell said climbers are well-versed about caution, especially when it comes to climbing.

risk frequently enough that we are used to caution, so we are requiring masks for all entrants as part of that cautious approach to having fun. This is for anybody that does want to get out and get excited and feel the thrill, get a workout in and feel strong in an environment where they don’t feel like they’re going to be exposed unnecessarily to any sort of COVID contaminants. This is a great option.

Because of the pandemic, Bell and Utter haven’t been able to offer all of the pro-

grams they envisioned in the spring. But they expect to be able to do so in the coming weeks and months.

“We are trying to do a theme or an event every single month for our member base, to challenge them to climb harder, climb better and invest in the community more,” Bell said.

The facility shows films, offers yoga and creates challenges where climbers are tasked with climbing a total 1-mile of routes throughout a month.

The pandemic caused Climb Time Indy to lose approximately 10 percent of its membership, and the gym also saw a sharp decline in its other offerings, such as day passes.

VISIT CLIMB TIME INDY Climb Time Indy is at 8750 Corporation Dr., Indianapolis. It offers memberships for $40 a month. The fee includes events, gear rental and unlimited climbing. There are no start-up or cancellation fees. It also offers day passes for $12 with gear rental of $6. A boulder pass is $10, and shoe rental is $3.

Sisters write children’s book on dealing with pandemic

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Susan Leininger spent several months sharing her concerns about the coronavirus pandemic with her older sisAUTHORS ter, Julie Bair.

“We were talking about how school was going to be different this year and I guess that’s OK,” Leinnger said.

They decided to co-write and publish a book, “School Is Different This Year And That’s OK!” in mid-August. The writing process was long distance because Leininger lives in Noblesville and Bair in Mason, Ohio.

“Through lots of FaceTime, phone calls and texts, we put our nervous energy into the creativity about making the right decision and going through the process,” Leininger said. “We turned our emotions into inspiration of creativity by creating a story about silly ducks and goats navigating through both in-school and remote-learning experiences with a positive perspective. It teaches kids (that) families make different decisions for different reasons and kind of overcoming all those uncertainties.”

The characters were inspired by the sisters’ farm animals. Leininger got four goats during quarantine and Bair got chickens.

The sisters found an illustrator, Claudio Icuza, in Argentina.

“The greatest challenge was the physical distance that we had with him and each other, and then the timing,” Leininger said. “We had the idea to write the book on July 17, and in less than 30 days we wrote, illustrated and self-published the book. The timing was critical to the book success, we thought.”

More than 10,000 books sold in the first five weeks, Leininger said. It had a top-20

ranking for quickest growth in Amazon U.S. and reached No. 1 for new releases for children’s animal books on Amazon U.S. It also made the Top 20 Most Sold and Read Books of the Week for Amazon charts in Canada.

“It’s really surprised us,” Leininger said.

“We were having fun being creative and bonding. When it came out, we only saw one other kids’ COVID book, and now there is over 30.”

Writing the book has convinced the sisters to write “Celebrations Are Different This Year And That’s OK!.” Leininger said the book shares a positive message of how celebrations were certainly different in 2020, but many good and new moments were also created. It also encourages a spirit of giving and helping others.

Leninger, 40, and Bair, 44, share the same March 23 birthday. The goat in the book wears a baseball jersey with the number 23.

Leininger and her husband, Ryan, have three children, Danielle, 12, Ella, 9 and Nolan, 7. Each attends Our Lady of Grace at Noblesville. Bair also has three children.

The book isSINCE available on amazon.com.

McKinsey pleased Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Dept. finally gets new home MUCH NEEDED SPACE

Les McKinsey has been a volunteer for the Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Dept. for 50 years. (Submitted photo)

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When people ask Les McKinsey when he is going to quit his service to Noblesville’s Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Dept., he has a quick reply.

“When they put my casket on the truck on the way to the cemetery, you’ll know I’ve quit,” he said.

McKinsey, 79, recently received a 50-year award from the Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association.

“I’m just out doing a job I like to do and I’m not here for the hero stuff,” McKinsey said. “The people who do the hero stuff are beyond my capabilities.”

McKinsey, who started out as a volunteer at Wayne Township in April 1970, served as fire chief from 1997 to 2010.

“I gave it up because it was getting to be too much of a job, and at my age, I just couldn’t do it,” he said. “When I first took over, we didn’t have any emergency medical technicians or any paramedics.”

McKinsey, a Noblesville resident, is thrilled the department moved in mid-August to a new building, which also includes Wayne Township Trustee Diane Crim’s office. It’s called the Wayne Township Trustee and Volunteer Fire Dept. Government Center. It is at 18441 Durbin Rd. “The old station was great for the early times when we only had a few personnel and just one or two trucks,” McKinsey said. “But as we advanced, we got more into the medical and rescue part of it.

We didn’t have room.”

The new station has room to put all the trucks inside.

“I think it’s going to work out much better because we have room to grow,” McKinsey said. “With the township growing like it has been, we are going to keep adding stuff to the station. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to be around, but I do what I can to help out. At my age, I’ve slowed down quite a bit but I’m not through helping people out.”

McKinsey is a driver.

“Whenever we get a call and I’m able to go, I go,” said McKinsey, who is recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia.

McKinsey worked at Delco Remy, a division of General Motors in Anderson, for 30 years before retiring in late 1992.

“I’ve had a couple of part-time jobs but nothing to interfere with me being in the fire service,” he said. “The most rewarding part has been working with different personnel from different departments and see how they operate compared to how we operate. At one time, our department was strictly men only. In the last 20 years, we’ve taken on women as our EMTs, and they’ve done a fantastic job.

“The women do just as good a job as the men can and a lot of them do a better job than the men can.”

McKinsey said when the township department started in 1956, a lot of the volunteers were local farmers.

“Les has seen the department go through a lot of changes,” Wayne Township Volunteer Dept. Fire Chief Ronald Taylor said. “He’s a great resource, has a lot of knowledge, helps out the younger guys with how to run the trucks. (He) takes them out driving and training. It seems like he knows everyone, so when we are going on a call, he’ll say, ‘This is Mrs. So-and-So and Mr. So-and-So.’”

Wayne Township Volunteer Dept. Fire Chief Ronald Taylor said the new fire station was much needed.

“The old station was added on to twice,” the Noblesville resident said. “It was six bays but they were very small, and (each) time you opened up the truck doors they were touching. There was hardly any room to move around the vehicles and store equipment. It is probably triple the space. We can fit three of the old buildings in there. We didn’t have space for training in the old building. We had to pull trucks out to hold training.”

Taylor said all equipment is now stored inside. The training room can double as a community room that is available for rent.

“We went from four back-in bays to six pull-in bays, which gives us eight bays we can park trucks in,” said Taylor, who has been fire chief since 2014. “It’s not fully complete because we have to add upstairs, which will become our living quarters. It will have a day room, bunk room, and our locker rooms will be upstairs. We didn’t have the money to get all that completed in this section.”

A firefighter paramedic is on duty from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“We’re volunteer the rest of the time,” Taylor said. “We have eight paramedics that volunteer. There are about three to four days they work the same day as their full-time job.”

Taylor, who has been with Noblesville Fire Dept. for 27 years, said some firefighters spend the night when volunteering. Taylor’s wife, Pamela, who works for Westfield Fire Dept. as a civilian paramedic, is the emergency medical service captain and public information officer for Wayne Township Fire Dept.

“We have close to 29 members,” Pamela Taylor said. “The members here are so dedicated.”

Pamela Taylor said each person volunteers a minimum of four, 12-hour shifts per month.

ESSAY

LETTER

Unmanaged emotion

Anker’s impact may be missed

Commentary by Terry Anker Righteous indignation. The indignation of the righteous. Either order, it is a way to justify anger and still consider one’s self on the right side of morality. We have seen it throughout history. “This group is so terrible that we not only should do something to smite them — we are compelled by moral imperative to do it.” Even as our hands are bloodied, we can feel good about ourselves. Sure, the folks we hurt are more complex and multivariate than we might hope. But if we can only manage to focus our attentions on the one thing about them that we don’t like, it gives us the leverage needed to enjoy the carnage.

Still, do we have a responsibility to inflict the occasional beat down? Should we take pride in the people killed in war, police action, protest? Are there cases of such unredeemed evil that we are only right to drag offenders into the streets and extinguish their lives? Judas? Genghis Kahn? Pol Pot? Hitler? Saddam Hussein? Would they qualify for our virtuous retribution? How far could we go?

Then we imagine those of far more common, but some might imagine no less malevolent, intention. Pedophiles?

Cannibals? Rapists? What must we do there? Should a mob be formed and our justice garnered? Some might include communists, police, politicians and members of opposing sports teams — even friendly local columnists and reporters. Threats of death too often are realized — justified with an outsized sense of the perpetrator’s duty to mete out vigilante justice. Laws can help to referee but violence is often the ultimate arbiter.

Is it simply part of the human genome? Or is it something that each distinct culture of us has cultivated to justify our own unmanaged emotion?

Editor, I just finished (essayist Terry Anker’s) “Strike Force” article and found it very interesting.

He alluded to an impactful opinion, but if I understood him correctly, the impact may well be missed by the intended audience. Unfortunately, I have not found the depth of understanding and intellectual curiosity present in those that truly need to understand his point. Thanks for your contribution to Current.

Going toe-to-toe with 2020 Commentary by Danielle Wilson Enough. Enough, I say! After another truly awful few weeks, I am done with this stupid year; 2020, you will not HUMOR take October, the most magical month of them all, from me without a fight. And I’m scrappy, so don’t underestimate me.

To that end, I have already begun planning an epic Halloween display. I typically set up six to seven ghoulish vignettes in the front yard, showcased by thousands of orange twinkle lights and a dozen or so floods, in an attempt to relive my childhood and for an excuse to wear a Foxy Cleopatra wig. Everything from warty witches brewing potions, Carol Ann from “Poltergeist” enjoying an undead tea party, a baseball-capped skeleton lawn-mowing over the ex-boyfriend … I’m very clever. I’m also certain I’m breaking a whole host of neighborhood association and electrical safety rules, but I don’t care. Especially not amidst this craziness.

I have already put together my newest acquisition, a 6-foot-3 animatronic Grim Reaper who sucks the fog machine-induced life force out of a defenseless but creepy little girl while throatily muttering, “You’re soul is miiine.” It’s truly terrifying. Far more terrifying than the nearly 7-foot Pennywise we bought in 2019, even though I am 100 percent anti-clown (those half-off sales get me every time, nightmares be damned!).

Even my husband Doo has promised to help. Usually, he’s just good for finding which breaker I’ve popped or resetting the inevitable blown fuse, but I think he senses how much I need this, not only for the fun but for the normalcy.

So, say goodbye, 2020, you miserable SOB. October and I are taking you down.

Peace out.

A hole in this Hoosier’s story Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’m a born-and-bred (mostly Jewish rye) New Yorker, but I’ve lived for 40 years in Indianapolis. I’ve eaten biscuits HUMOR and gravy for breakfast, lunch and dinner (not all on the same day). I’ve had a pork tenderloin that is four times bigger than the bun, and I even wear shorts when it’s freezing outside. So, I consider myself a Hoosier, but then the other day I was really tested when my wife confronted me with this: “Dick, the neighborhood is having a big get-together, a chance to meet new people. Masks and social distancing will be required.”

“OK, I’m in.”

“It’s a cornhole contest.”

“OK, I’m out.”

Before playing, I watched some championship matches on YouTube. I felt sorry for the announcers who didn’t have many things to analyze. There were a lot of oohs and aahs. And two wows. They said, “it’s a game of inches” about a dozen times.

I wasn’t very good at cornhole that night. But I got to meet a lot of new people:

Jill, Kay, Ellen, Steve, another Steve, Cynthia and Bob. Everyone had on a mask, so I don’t have a clue how I’ll recognize them next time Mary Ellen and I walk around the neighborhood. Everyone had a name tag on that night, but it’s awkward to ask people to wear their ID when they walk out their front door for the next year.

My favorite was from a woman who claims her great grandfather in l899 found some rotten corn and a plank with a hole in it.

Her grandfather’s name, she says, was Timothy Cornhole.

Hmm, very convenient.

Mary Ellen is concerned about the virus, so we were constantly rubbing our hands with sanitizer gel, which is why several of my shots landed not in the hole but in the lake. And despite all the food people had brought, I wasn’t allowed to eat anything because, to quote my wife, “You’ve touched every person’s equipment in the neighborhood.”

I looked up the history of cornhole and there were more than a dozen theories about when the game began and how it got its name. My favorite was from a woman who claims her great grandfather in l899 found some rotten corn and a plank with a hole in it. Her grandfather’s name, she says, was Timothy Cornhole. Hmm, very convenient. If his last name had been Backgammon, well, how confusing would that have been?

The day after that neighborhood gathering, I saw a neighbor and I asked him if he had played the previous night, because I didn’t recognize his legs. Peter, who is an engineer, said he would have done better had he taken into account the lubricity of the board. When I got home, I looked up the term “lubricious,” by mistake. If you Google that word, you’ll agree it would have made the game a lot more exciting.

Noblesville man waits 11 months for new heart

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville resident Steve Smith has been recovering after receiving a new heart July 20 after waiting nearly 11 MEDICINE months for a donor heart.

The 36-year-old was admitted to Riley Hospital for Children Aug. 27, 2019. He has had a congenital heart defect since infancy.

Smith stayed at Riley for his transplant because pediatric surgeons tend to deal more with congenital abnormalities whereas surgeons in adult hospitals mostly treat patients with acquired cardiac disease.

Smith is recovering at home and taking extra health precautions because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“For me, it’s kind of weird because I haven’t had the experience of the pandemic since I’ve been in the hospital, anyway,” he said. “In (the hospital) we are wearing the masks all the time, washing and sanitizing hands all the time, we already did that. This is nothing new for me, but it’s a little different being out in the real world where you’re like, ‘OK, what can I touch and what can’t I touch?’”

Smith said receiving a new heart in the middle of a pandemic was a blessing. He completes three hours of physical therapy each day, and although he’s still limited on

what he can do, he said he feels great.

“Everybody should sign up to be a donor because these gifts are very, very important,” he said. “It feels so good to be healthy and recovering.”

Smith said after staying at the hospital for 11 months, saying goodbye to his caregivers was hard. He said the nurses became like family.

“I can’t go back and visit since I’m no longer a Riley kid,” he said. “They sent me to an adult team.”

DISPATCHES Beginning exercise — If you’re wanting to begin an exercise regimen in the new year, here’s a way to get started. Try doing some basic circuit training routines, because these things will improve your endurance.

You can try doing five rounds of 15 jumping jacks, 10 walking lunges, 10 mountain climbers and five pushups. Exercising your entire body can make a lot of difference.

Source: Vuality.com Helping loved ones recover — When a loved one is ill, you can help their recovery even if you have no medical training. When you talk to them, get an update and be sympathetic, but quickly shift to a positive, upbeat tone.

Don’t talk about your own illnesses. Let the person know that you are looking forward to meeting for lunch, or some other outing, in the near future. Have a funny story or wonderful reminiscence to share. Laughter

is a great healer and it can make the recovering person’s day.

Researchers at the University of Toronto analyzed health data on more than 3,000 people, age 70 to 90, from the U.S., Canada and France. Most were cognitively healthy, but some had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Indianapolis Children’s Choir uses music platform to rehearse virtually

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Indianapolis Children’s Choir quickly got ahead of the curve when the coronavirus pandemic struck in MUSIC mid-March.

ICC Artistic Director Joshua Pedde said one of the biggest questions a lot of organizations are wrestling with is, how will they deal with the new normal?

“At the ICC, we’re creating our own new normal,” Pedde said Pedde, a Carmel resident, said the ICC started off using Zoom when the coronavirus pandemic hit. The ICC then switched to Cisco Webex.

“We worked with (Webex) over the summer and they developed a mode called Music Mode, which allows the sound to be presented to whoever is on the other side of the screen,” Pedde said. “It’s mostly in time. There is very little lag. For all of our virtual things, we’ve been using this, and we’ve had people join our rehearsals with that.”

The ICC offers online and in-person options for choir members. Pedde said the singers have learned they have to keep ahead of what they are seeing visually with the Music Mode. A strong Wi-Fi signal helps.

“It’s almost exactly in time. Sometimes it’s off just a slight millisecond or two,” Pedde said. “It’s almost seamless. Of all the platforms we’ve seen, this is the best I’ve seen. We did both our summer camp and our teacher symposium using Webex.

It was a great success. We had students from all across the country and teachers from all across the world participate. All of them agreed it was the best online experience they have had.

“We put together a virtual choir where each student recorded themselves and sent it in. We put together the choir and it was aired on WNDY.” Pedde said every week students can either tune in or attend in-person sessions, which are socially distanced. There

are sites in Carmel, Fishers and Zionsville.

There also are rehearsals sites in Avon and Greenwood and on the Butler University campus in Indianapolis.

“The students wear masks,” Pedde said.

“The room is sanitized and clean. We are only in the room a limited amount of time.

The recommended time is 30 minutes.

Then we take them to an outside area, and we finish up the rehearsal outside. We have purchased air purification (systems) that will actually turn over a room in about five minutes.”

Pedde said the in-person students in Carmel number between 12 to 15 and 10 in Fishers. Pedde said when the weather gets cold, the choirs will take a singing break and they can do other activities in the room while the air purification system runs.

Pedde said the ICC is renting space and prerecording the concerts. He said the concerts will be streamed to singers’ families because most concert halls aren’t open, and if they are, capacity is limited.

Pedde has been working with a production company for a fall concert, which will be released online at 7 p.m. Oct. 16. He said

a stream can be purchased and is available for a week to watch.

“We’re trying to give people the in-person feeling of going to a concert,” Pedde said. “We wrote a COVID handbook for singers that children’s choirs around the country are using. Because of our online platform, we have singers who are tuning in from all across the country. We even have a couple that are down in Mexico.”

Pedde said he is working with Webex to see how virtual singers can be involved in the recorded concert.

“They’ll be singing with us as well from their living room,” he said.

Pedde said the plan is to go forward in the same manner until venues can open safely.

“It offers us a unique opportunity to offer things in a different way and present our form of art to someone who might not ordinarily look at us because it is more convenient,” he said. “They don’t have to get in a car and drive somewhere to hear this. They can go online and listen to it or see it on a TV station. Hopefully, it will open new doors.”

‘Welcome to Fairyland’ to begin Oct. 7 editorial@youarecurrent.com Nickel Plate Arts’ “Welcome to Fairyville” event — originally scheduled for April — is back for the eighth year, from Oct. 7-10. Residents are invited to build dozens of fairy houses on the Fairy Trail along the White River River Walk. Many downtown merchants will feature fairy doors outside their buildings to bring some magic inside. Magical socially distant-friendly events have been planned throughout the downtown Noblesville area.

Not only can participants search for fairy houses and fairy doors along the trail, but several locations in Noblesville will host fairy-themed activities. Fairy friends can paint pottery at Kiln Creations or reserve a time to create crafts or pick up a craft kit at Caravan Classes.

“We are so excited that so many groups and individuals in Noblesville were excited about getting into the fairy spirit,” McGill stated.

These activities made possible in part with support from the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The original plan was to present “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

“But when COVID came, we felt PLAY that kind of intense show might not draw an audience,” Carmel resident John Clair said. “But our real concern was for the actors to have them rehearse face-to-face with all the intensity of that show. We couldn’t safely do that.

We decided a comedy is what the public needed.”

Carmel Theatre Co. is presenting Bard Fest’s production of Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite” as a live radio show at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel. Clair, who runs Carmel Theatre Co. with his wife, June, is serving as a producer. The play was scheduled to be held Oct. 2-4 and will conclude Oct. 9-10.

“We felt if we did it as a radio show, the actors would not have to play face-to-face,” Clair said. “They deliver their lines out in front of the stage because they stand behind a radio microphone. There is limited contact between the actors during the rehearsal process.”

From left, Tony Armstrong, Afton Shepard, Matt Walls, Tony Johnson and Nan Macy appear in “Plaza Suite” as a radio show. (Submitted photo)

Bard Fest, an Indianapolis theater company dedicated to presenting Shakespeare plays, is deviating from its usual fare. “We are trying to bring Bard Fest to Carmel,” Clair said. “The idea is to bring the Indianapolis Fringe Theatre audience up to Carmel to expand our reach.”

The show is directed by Indianapolis radio personality Matt Socey. Nan Macy, Tony Armstrong, Afton Shepard and Matt Walls play the leads, and Tony Johnson provides sound effects.

Take a walk down a magical, self-guided fairy trail!

Roasted breast of chicken is among the menu items at Vivante French Eatery. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Vivante French Eatery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Hotel Carmichael, 1 Carmichael Square, Carmel What to get: Roasted breast of chicken Price: $24 Anna’s take: Vivante is a beautiful and classy restaurant nestled on the bottom floor of Carmel’s new Hotel Carmichael. It offers French cuisine for lunch and dinner.

I started with Brussels sprouts ($12), a hefty portion of halved Brussels sprouts with crispy pork belly, Grand Marnier Honey Redux and Thai chili-infused beurre blanc.

Brussels sprouts are in right now, and restaurants have been trying to figure out ways to make them more appealing than what many of us grew up with. Vivante’s take is sweet with a slight kick from the Thai chilis, and it is delicious. I also tried the roasted beet salad ($12), a colorful rainbow of roasted red and golden beets, arugula, candied walnuts, goat cheese and a truffle vinaigrette. It was light and refreshing. For the main event, I had the roasted breast of chicken, a generous portion of chicken with a Grand Marnier glaze, pommes croquettes (for those of you who don’t speak French, these are essentially mashed potatoes covered in bread crumbs), seasonal vegetables and an herb jus.

Suggested pairings: The Feeling Good ($13), a gin cocktail

Charlottenburg Palace: Honoring a queen Commentary by Don Knebel Charlottenburg Palace, the largest and most elegant palace in Berlin, honors a royal wife known for her fierce TRAVEL independence.

Sophie Charlotte was born to a German prince and his wife in 1668.

Her mother’s plan that she marry either widowed King Louis XIV of France or his son, the Dauphin, failed. In 1684, just shy of her 16th birthday, she married Prince Frederick of the German House of Hohenzollern, whose 21-year-old wife had died the year before. Sophie Charlotte became queen of Prussia when Frederick became the first king of Prussia in 1701. Frederick adored his wife, reportedly never seeking the affections of his official mistress, a position he borrowed from Louis XIV. Sophie Charlotte was apparently not quite so enamored. She commissioned a Baroque palace for herself outside the city limits of Berlin, where she lived with her own court. Speaking four languages fluently, the queen frequently invited intellectuals and artists to her palace, where she entertained them by playing the harpsicord and singing in Italian operas

The palace was opened to the public in 1880 when it was no longer used as a royal residence.
