The state has received and distributed more than 375,000 PPE items and expects to receive more than 150,000 items this week, with deliveries daily.

Besides facilitating patient care, state officials are trying to mitigate the economic fallout from the stay-at-home order. From July 2019 to February 2020, state revenues were $100 million more than estimated, but state officials reported the social-distancing measures cut those figures to $33 million more than estimated through March, a $67 million tumble in only a month.

State officials said they expect the pandemic to continue to stifle revenues during this month through June. They announced the state has started dipping into its nearly $2.3 billion in reserves as a result.

The federal government has passed a number of bills to help states, businesses and citizens. One, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, is expected to funnel $10.6 million to Indiana. Another, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, a $2.2 trillion stimulus package, is expected to provide more than $3 billion for state needs.

Holcomb announced the creation of the Indiana Economic Relief and Recovery Team to plan, administer and account for federal relief funds the state receives from the coronavirus relief bill. Office of Management and Budget Director Cris Johnston and Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger will chair the team.

The committee will work to allocate funds to help those affected by the pandemic.

Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne reported 133,639 Indiana residents filed initial unemployment claims in the week ending April 4, the second-most in state history.

The previous week, the state reported 139,174 Indiana residents filed initial unemployment claims, the most ever reported in a one-week span.

Speak to a Lifestyle Advisor today • (317) 793-3140

Indiana National Guard soldiers and Ascension St. Vincent medical professionals conducted training rehearsals at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital April 9 to develop interagency pandemic responses. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, Ascension St. Vincent and the Indiana National Guard worked together to create standard operating procedures using military resources for transporting stable patients requiring minimal care to nearby medical facilities. The training helped create a plan to prevent exhaustion of a hospital’s resources in the event of a patient surge and is expected to become a model for similar trainings across the state.

COUNTING RESIDENTS

City stresses importance of census

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Although the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in mass closings of schools and businesses, the U.S. Census Bureau is moving forward with counting COVER STORY residents.

Mailers have been sent to residents with instructions for completing the census, which can be done by mail, online, by phone or in person when census workers knock on doors.

City of Westfield Financial Strategist Tammy Havard said the census is important, especially at a municipal level.

“We get per-capita dollars from the state for certain types of revenue, so each person that is counted as an official population number by the census, we receive Havard about $40 in certain revenue for roads and the general fund, specifically, due to that population number being in the formula,” Havard said.

City of Westfield GIS Manager Leane Hieber estimates Westfield’s 2020 population to be approximately 46,653. When the city conducted a special census in 2016, its population was 36,854.

“That’s an increase of 9,799 residents, so that number times 40 is $391 million,” Havard said.

Hieber The figure is nearly $400,000 more per year than it has been receiving the previous 10 years.

“So, we will receive an additional $4 million in state revenue over the next 10 years if all the people fill out the survey and participate in the census,” Hieber said.

However, if local residents don’t respond to the census but residents in other cities do, those other cities will receive a greater share of federal dollars.

Hieber has been working with the U.S. Census Bureau to correct addresses.

“Last year, what I did is, they sent me their address points of what they view as the City of Westfield addresses,” Hieber said. “I corrected those addresses with over 8,000 new addresses, residential addresses, in order to make sure that those residents receive the paper forms in the mail.”

The corrected addresses include new homes and ensures all seven ZIP codes are accounted for.

“We have seven different ZIP codes in the city limits of Westfield, which is super confusing to people,” Hieber said.

“It not only corrects (the U.S. Census Bureau’s) address points with the United States Post Office, it also gives them all the new residential addresses of people who were in

new homes by April 1 because we have so much growth.”

When census numbers are calculated, Westfield will receive dollars from the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund, the cigarette tax and the alcohol tax.

“Everybody pays into it, then it’s distributed based on a formula, and part of that formula includes population,” Havard said. “If we were stagnant and didn’t respond to the census but people in other cities responded to the census, they would receive a greater share of those dollars.”

When the city receives its share, the the largest portion will go to roads.

“That would be the roundabouts that you’re seeing as an example of something that is tangible to the residents (from census dollars),” Havard said.

WHO’S COUNTED IN THE CENSUS? The census contains no questions about citizenship. It collects data for every person in a household, including children younger than 5. “(The census has) found in the past that kids under 5 have not been counted correctly,” City of Westfield Financial Strategist Tammy Havard said. “What that does is 10 years later, when they are 15 and in high school, that funding is not provided to the high school because they weren’t counted in the previous census.”

ESSAY

LETTER

How much is too much?

Elect Steve Dillinger

Commentary by Terry Anker “Let’s not throw it away, it might come in handy later.” One can hardly argue the veracity of the truism. We are rarely effective predictors of the future.

What might become valuable, exceedingly valuable, down the road a bit is impossible to know. Many of us imagined the few rolls of Charmin under the sink would last until our next run to the grocery. In a world of shortages, panic and supply chain interruptions, our stockpile of Taco Bell napkins was an unattractive, if effective, backup plan.

So, what is it that separates us from the hoarding masses, swimming in their stashes, certain to last long beyond their remaining years on this big, blue planet? Cleaning out the ubiquitous kitchen junk drawer during our recent self-isolation, the effort produced a surprising, if not imposing, count of ink pens. They represented all sort and manner of life milestones — bank pens, hospital pens, the pens of various organizations, hotel pens and an abundance of those lost to the failing memory of history. Sure, they tell a story, but don’t they also point to our need to hang on to objects long after their effective purpose is extinguished? The cumulative collection of pens held more ink than an average human could use in one lifetime, or two.

One could rightly suppose that the pens will pass to heirs, if such a thing as an ink pen is still useful to them. Even now, are the instruments much more than an amusing novelty, nostalgic for the way we used to communicate? Our lives are burdened with countless examples of our reservation of goods for a “rainy day” – not thinking that we’ve stored enough to outlast Noah’s flood. Having a spare or two gives comfort, but what is the point of holding three lifetime supplies?

Seeing red with lockdown blues Commentary by Danielle Wilson So, how is everybody? Are you hanging in there? Enjoying some downtime? Seizing the day? Personally, I’m losing HUMOR my mind and am not really sure how much longer I can take it. I came close to snapping the other day in Meijer, where the once-again empty aisle of paper products reminded me we’re living in Bizarro World. Luckily, I managed to pull it together before getting to produce, but clearly I’m only one “We’re out of eggs, too” announcement from a full-on breakdown.

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened yet. I mean, teaching online from home is horrible. I miss my students and my karaoke-singing colleagues, not to mention the simple routine of waking up and putting on eye makeup. And trying to manage four older kids who don’t have jobs, can’t see their friends and are supposed to be nice is nearly impossible, as is ignoring the sheer amount of mess and noise they create. Plus,

my husband, Doo, an extrovert, is constantly wanting to talk to me and sit next to me and generally engage with me when all I want to do is read “Harry Potter” or bingewatch “Community.” Alone.

Even the house project I started is conspiring to drive me mad. While applying a third coat of white paint to our hideous orange pine banister, I realized that the second can is slightly grayer than the first, making the railings appear perpetually dirty.

Why? They are the same!

Maybe I just need to get on with it. I think I’ll head to Meijer for some toilet paper and a good cry.

Hopefully, you’re doing better than me.

Peace out.

Editor, I have known Steve Dillinger since the sixth grade. He was my Noblesville Grinder football coach. He instilled in me the value of hard work, humility, teamwork, faith, honor and coming together for a common cause. Since those early years, I have always kept in touch with him. In my late 20s, we became friends, and I went on several fishing trips with him. Decades later, he still continues to be a strong leader for our community in so many ways.

I admire the work Steve Dillinger has accomplished while in office. He has been someone who has made my city a great place to grow up and raise a family.

Steve Dillinger will always put Hamilton County first and look out for the taxpayers. His commitment to the people of Hamilton County has been unwavering and I am honored to call him my friend, coach and Hamilton County commissioner.

Please join me in voting for Steve Dillinger for Hamilton County commissioner.

Mike Davis, Noblesville city councilor

Community physician becomes first to donate plasma

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Dr. Sarah Dilley wants to make a difference.

Dilley, who recovered GIVING BACK from COVID-19, became the first Indiana resident to donate antibody-rich plasma to help seriously ill coronavirus patients.

Dilley, 35, donated her plasma April 9 at Versiti Blood Centers’ downtown Indianapolis site.

“I think I got it from my husband who works in the film industry. He was working on a TV show and I think he might have brought it from Chicago,” said Dilley, a gynecologic oncologist at Community Health Network. “He wasn’t tested because he doesn’t work in the health care industry, so it’s hard to get tested. He had a high fever and couldn’t get off the couch for four days.

He had a cough and shortness of breath. I didn’t have any of those symptoms.

“I had a low-grade fever and bad fatigue.

I was sore.”

Dilley said it’s much easier to get tested working in a hospital or a doctor’s office.

She said the plasma procedure took a little less than an hour.

“The amount of time they were pumping blood in and out of my body was a half an hour,” said Dilley, adding her blood was supposed to be given to someone immediately.

Dilley, who grew up in Fishers and is a 2002 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate, works at the Community Cancer Center North.

“This is a therapy. We are taking people who have recovered from COVID-19 and screening them to make sure they were

diagnosed and had a positive test, so we know they were exposed to this rather than people that had symptoms and never tested positive,” Versiti Vice President of Transfusion Medicine Dr. Dan Waxman said.

Waxman said the donors cannot have signs of fever and cough for 28 days, or if symptom-free for 14 to 27 days, they must provide results of a negative test.

“What has been found is that people that have recovered from COVID-19 have developed antibodies to it,” Waxman said.

Dilley knows how important blood transfers can be.

“She has cases where she uses blood products that are vital to her work,” Waxman said. “Since she recovered, she knows her plasma can be a therapeutic agent.”

Versiti has launched a new website at versiti.org/covid19plasma for recovered COVID-19 patients to register to become convalescent plasma donors. In addition, Versiti launched a special hotline, 1-866-702-HOPE.

Coworking space aims to make social impact

ONE OF THOSE DAYS? HELP IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Nexus Impact Center was formed with a premise that an organization can generate revenue and NONPROFIT embed social impact into its business model.

The vision came from brainstorming by Mercy Road Church Carmel Lead Pastor Josh Husmann and fellow Mercy Road members Butler University associate professor Stephanie Fernhaber and her husband, Ethan Fernhaber, a businessman, and Craig Dereka, a businessman and Westfield resident.

Robin Lee, also a Mercy Road member and Westfield resident, first volunteered and eventually became executive director for Nexus, which opened in January at Mercy Road Church, 9511 Angola Ct., Indianapolis.

There is 3,000 square feet of coworking space on a floor with approximately 30,000 square feet on the second floor of what was once the ITT Technical Institute business.

Lee said the space is for business owners who want to do more than write a charitable check.

“The world is changing the way we spend our money on the products we buy and the services we buy,” Lee said. “The organizations we do business with, that when they are working on a social cause, that’s really helping those causes often in a more effective way because they are able to go after the root cause of issues and not just put a Band-Aid on.”

Lee said there is an application process for the office space.

“You can only rent an office if you are working on impact of some kind, so you

have to share with us how you are working on sustainable revenue and impact,” Lee said. “It can be OK if you are just starting to do that. We have some impact workshops that we have coming up (in the future).”

Lee said she helps business owners identify what they are passionate about. That leads to discussion about how the business takes the next step.

“We want to provide economical space as well as a like-minded community as the resources for those types of organizations,” Lee said. “Whether they are housed here or not, the resources are still available for anyone who wants to take advantage of it.

We’re a nonprofit but we’re considered a social enterprise because we have a sustainable revenue stream of charging memberships and rental-income lease to those who are renting office (space).”

PATTERN marks 10th year with new initiative

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Polina Osherov co-founded PATTERN with an eye on the fashion industry. Her vision keeps expanding as the NONPROFIT nonprofit celebrates its 10th anniversary.

“Originally, it was very much focused on the fashion industry, and over the last five or six years it evolved to be more broad to include the entire creative class, not just fashion designers, but photographers, models, graphic designers, content creators, videographers, illustrators and folks like that,” said the Carmel resident, PATTERN’s executive director. “The key thing is we’ve built a pretty incredible place for fashion lovers and creatives in the city.”

Fittingly, Osherov founded StitchWorks, an industrial sewing certificate program, with the help of a recent $30,000 grant from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation. A StitchWorks open house scheduled for March 19 had to be canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

StitchWorks has been pressed into action with the need for medical supplies.

Eskanazi Hospital commissioned StitchWorks to create isolation gowns, with a goal of producing 2,500. Approximately 1,000 have been completed as of April 13.

Some of the masks are being donated, while others are available for purchase.

The sewers who are making masks are volunteers, while those making gowns are being paid. StitchWorks is looking for more sewers. For more information, visit stitchworksindy.com/covid-19.

“StitchWorks was created in response to the ever-changing retail environment, which favors small designers and retailers less and less, thanks to offshoring and its byproduct, fast fashion,” Osherov said.

“Not only has the fast-fashion movement been detrimental to the environment, but it has also meant a decrease in people with the skills to sew. The movement of apparel production overseas has meant national job losses and the impending death of the craft. Small, local designers are affected most by the fast-fashion movement.”

CIAF plans Art Heals Project

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The nonprofit produces PATTERN magazine twice a year.

“The magazine is not there to sell fashion but to tell stories of our creative community, but with a fashion aesthetic,” Osherov said. “It looks like a fashion magazine because we have a lot of beautiful fashion photography. You’re not going to find a lot of stuff like, ‘Go buy this or wear that.’ The magazine is a small part of what we do.”

Osherov said PATTERN has mentored more than 75 college students as part of its internship and mentoring programs.

There is a fellowship program between college and a first job where graduates can gain more experience.

“They get very hands-on with all of these things,” she said. “A lot of time it’s

sink or swim.”

Within the past decade, PATTERN has organized more than 90 events, including annual programs like St’Artup 317 and the SUPPLY trade show, which is tentatively set for Aug. 15.

“St’Artup 317 is an initiative we have with Indy Chamber. It’s part of the City of Indianapolis’ retail strategy of trying to fill up all of those empty storefronts we have around town,” Osherov said. “The challenge is that overall retail is not doing that great. What we do have is a lot of small business owners and artists who love the opportunity to show their work.”

St’Artup 317 is traditionally in May but is subject to change because of the pandemic.

Carmel International Arts Festival is doing its part to provide a pleasant distraction during the coronavirus GIVING BACK pandemic.

CIAF plans a quarantine artwork show, “The Art Heals Project,” which is open to all ages.

“It’s something I had thought about. Our social media person had posted something about how art Ferry heals and that made me think about how the Carmel International Arts Festival could do something during the pandemic to help people cope with what is happening,” CIAF Executive Director Rachel Ferry said.

She shared the idea of a quarantine art show with the CIAF’s executive officers.

“We thought it would be a good idea to provide a place where people can display their artwork they create during the pandemic,” Ferry said. “We’re going to challenge people to pick up a paint brush, or a sketch pencil or camera, and create because we know art can help heal people’s feelings. We just feel this a great avenue to do that.”

Ferry said there will be a special tent to display the artwork during the festival, set for Sept. 26-27. The artwork should be delivered to the project booth between 6 and 9 p.m. Sept. 25. Individuals must provide an easel or means to hang or display art.

“People who attend the festival will have a chance to go look at it,” Ferry said. “We’re not looking for professional artists, but anyone is welcome to do it. This artwork will not be for sale during the festival. We don’t want to take away from what our artists are providing that weekend. The names are going to be on the back of the artwork.

We’re encouraging paintings, etchings, drawings, photography, whatever someone is creating during the time.”

During Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order, entrants should take a picture with their artwork and post on social media with the hashtag of #ArtHealsProject.

CARRYOUT EDITION From left, Thai coconut shrimp soup, edamame and Green Flash Sushi Roll. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2295 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville What to get: Green Flash Sushi Roll Price: $14.95 Anna’s take: I’m a big fan of sushi and other Asian dishes, so I have frequented Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen several

times during the pandemic. It has a convenient drive-thru window. I am a big fan of the small Thai shrimp coconut soup ($4.95).

It also comes in a chicken option. Edamame ($3.95) is always a staple for me. It’s just as delicious eaten from a carryout container.

The last time I visited Kobayashi, I tried the Green Flash Sushi Roll. If you don’t like sushi, Kobayashi has lots of other Asian dishes. But if you are a sushi fan, I suggest the Green Flash roll. It has cooked shrimp, avocado, cilantro, scallops and teriyaki sauce and is torched.

DISPATCHES Great American Songbook Foundation hosts chat — The Great American Songbook Foundation recently hosted a Zoom chat for more than 30 2019 Songbook Academy alums, so that staff members and founder Michael Feinstein could offer support and create an outlet for much-needed social engagement during the isolating time for young artists due to the coronavirus pandemic. Songbook Academy, a program of the Great American Songbook Foundation, is a national music intensive conducted every summer at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The impact lasts much longer than one week as alumni, staff and mentors stay connected year-round. Especially now, the connections and friendships made possible by the program continue to inspire and create a sense of belonging, according to Songbook Foundation officials. Songbook Academy alums also are taking part in the Instagram challenge #SongbookMyWay by submitting covers of Songbook standards.

Indiana Humanities hosts premieres on Facebook — The nonprofit cultural organization Indiana Humanities is showcasing its new INseparable Films series, commissioned by Indiana filmmakers to explore the Hoosier experience along urban, suburban and rural divides.

After each Facebook premiere, the films will be available for streaming on INseparableFilms. org. Weekly Facebook premiere parties will feature Q&As, further insight into the films’ characters, discussion of the films’ ideas and more. Upcoming Facebook premieres are: 7 p.m. April 21, “The Earthkeepers” (Bloomington), and 7 p.m. April 28, “Raised in Contrast” (Lebanon).

Blueprint for Improvement: 2nd-Story makeover in Meridian-Kessler Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• The second story was completely removed. In its place is a new master suite (bedroom/ bath and closet), laundry room and guest bedroom/bath.

• The square footage of the second story was doubled!

• The former back patio was transformed into a spacious screened-in porch.

• A new concreate patio – complete with fire pit – extends from the home to provide a wealth of space for entertaining.

• The entire home was given a fresh coat of paint and new landscaping to top off a truly stunning transformation.

THE CHALLENGE This 1927 home in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood offered a lot of charm, but, like many homes in the area, lacked living space. The second floor originally had a small guest bedroom and bathroom, flanked by unfinished attic space.

The homeowners wanted to increase their square footage by completely reworking the second floor.

Current provides excellent value and reach with both its print and digital offerings. I feel confident Current’s weekly newspaper helps O’Malia’s Living draw customers from across the six northern markets it covers. The targeted email campaigns increase visitors to my website, giving me the opportunity to gain new customers. These results are why I have Current’s print and digital solutions in my advertising plans for 2020.
