Help flatten the curve Commentary by Doug Puckett The last few weeks have tested our IU Health team, our health care colleagues across the region and our PANDEMIC communities in ways we never imagined. Pandemics are a common topic in the disaster drills we do to prepare for the worst, but it would be hard to say that any drill could have created a reliable playbook for us to follow as we face COVID-19.

Through it all, I’ve witnessed bravery, resolve, creative problem solving and generosity in doses that can’t be measured. Our teams feel the care and concern our communities have for them as they do the difficult work of caring for all of our patients, including those diagnosed with this virus.

We understand and share the growing restlessness of being isolated from work and friends. And we understand the legitimate fears about economic harm caused by shutting down so much of our economy to combat the spread of this new coronavirus.

As frustrating as it feels, the best thing we can do for the health of our families, our communities and our economy is to persevere in keeping our distance from each other a little longer. This is a time that calls for unity around the concept of a shared societal outcome through our collective actions.

It will be well worth it.

So, what can you help do besides continuing to stay home, maintain social distancing, practice good hand washing and avoid touching your face (it’s tough, I know!)? If you do nothing but those things,

believe me, it matters to our team of frontline caregivers. Every infection prevented is a win.

For people wanting to donate supplies, or prepackaged meals or snacks, please visit iuhealth.org/donate-covid-19.

For folks wanting to send messages of support for our team, we thank you and encourage you to share that goodwill on social media and tag our hospitals. We’ll make sure we “like” and “share” so that our team members get your touch-free message.

If you want to learn more about COVID-19 and connect to great online resources from IU Health, including the virtual care team, please visit iuhealth.org/coronavirus.

Let me leave you with one last thought: In time, as we reflect on these moments and evaluate what we learned, I hope we emerge with a greater understanding and appreciation of how connected we all are.

For better or worse, the actions I take today can impact someone I’ve never met tomorrow. Please continue to do your part to “flatten the curve.” Please continue to have first responders and health care workers — all of them, from nurses to housekeepers to physicians to respiratory therapists and everyone in between — in your prayers. And please, remember that we’re #INthistogether.

Doug Puckett is president of IU Health Suburban Region, serving IU Health North, Saxony, Tipton and West hospitals.

Workout with no equipment Commentary by Seth Tucker It is sometimes necessary to maintain your strength and fitness without access to a gym or equipment. With FITNESS only your body and a little space to move in, you can improve your overall health without issue.

Try this routine for a simple but effective workout.

Burpee (Do 4 sets of 15 reps or 3 sets of 25 reps.): From a standing position with feet close together, crouch down and place your hands just outside and in front of your feet. Keeping your hands planted, jump backward with your feet so that you are extended in a full pushup position in what would be the top of a pushup. From there, perform a pushup while maintaining a neutral head, neck and spine. That is, avoid letting your hips sag down or push up in the air. You should maintain a straight line from your ankles to your head, keeping your core engaged. Keep your elbows tucked in closer to your body and avoid flaring them out to reduce the risk of injury.

After you do a full pushup and are at the top of the pushup position, you will reverse the initial jump-back motion by keeping your hands planted and jumping forward with your feet so they land just behind your hands. Immediately jump up while reaching

straight above. Upon landing, come all the way down to the crouched position with your hands just outside your feet and repeat the process. Rest 90 to 120 seconds between sets.

If you are unable to perform proper pushups with your legs fully extended, simply do the pushup portion of the burpee from your knees. You should still maintain proper form as described.

Bird Dog (Three sets of eight reps each side): Get down on hands and knees with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees directly under your hips. Your head should be in line with your back and hips to keep your entire torso parallel to the ground. Extend your right arm out and your left leg straight out behind you. Both limbs should be at or just below parallel with the ground. Keep your hips and shoulders parallel with the ground through the whole movement. Hold the top of the position for 5 to 10 seconds, then slowly lower to the starting position. Alternate sides. Rest 90 to 120 seconds between sets.

Student resources available Commentary by Rep. Tony Cook Typically, schools and families would be busy planning celebrations, including prom and graduation, PANDEMIC but now they’ve shifted their attention to finishing out the school year remotely. For parents, this transition comes with an abundance of distractions as many balance working from home and teaching their children.

To help families navigate eLearning, the Indiana Dept. of Education offers online resources to keep students in all grade levels engaged. By visiting doe.in.gov/ covid-19 and clicking “Remote Learning Resources,” parents can use the resource database to find activities and lessons by grade level and content area. Although school districts had to cancel field trips, online tools are available to help learning come to life. Students can visit fun attractions, including virtual tours of state museums, zoos and more, all via the IDOE website. If you don’t have internet or can’t afford it, IDOE offers information about lowcost or free broadband services, or you can

contact your provider directly for help.

The state recently teamed up with Indiana Public Broadcasting to offer educational programing that aligns with Indiana’s curriculum standards for K-12 students. Visit PBSLearningMedia.org to find your local listing and grab-and-go activities, lesson plans and interactive lessons.

Students needing help with math and science homework can visit askrose.org or call 877-ASK-ROSE (275-7673) for free tutoring. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology provides the service to all students in grades 4-12.

This is not how young Hoosiers and families across our state envisioned finishing out the school year, but staying home is a necessary step to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, and I hope these resources help as we all try to get through this together.

National Nurses Week set for May 6-12

Molly Beck

Paula Boller

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Nurses across the nation will be recognized by their places of employment and the community during National Nurses Week, set for May 6 through 12.

Locally, nurses will largely celebrate during work.

Current conducted a Q&A with three nurses – Samantha Murphy in the postpartum unit at IU Health North, Paula Boller in the post-anesthesia care unit at Eskenazi Hospital and Molly Beck in emergency/urgent care at Riverview Health Westfield Hospital.

Murphy is a Westfield resident, Boller is a Westfield resident and Beck is a Sheridan resident.

What is your nursing background?

Murphy: I went to Indiana University Kokomo, and I graduated in 2016 with my bachelor’s in nursing. I’m currently enrolled for my master’s in nursing, which I should be getting in December. I also have maternal newborn nursing certification as well. I wanted to do nursing mostly because both my parents worked in different parts of the medical field. I’ve been around medical- and hospital-related jobs for as long as I can remember. It’s always been interesting to me.

Boller: I have been a registered nurse for five years (and) graduated from the University of Indianapolis. This is a second career for me as I was previously in property management. I began my career at St. Vincent Carmel Hospital as a staff nurse on the night shift. Working nights was not a good fit for me or my family, so I accepted a position at Eskenazi Hospital where I have worked for 4 1/2 years. I started working in their critical care area. The knowledge I gained from working in that setting is invaluable. I currently work in Eskenazi’s PACU (post-anesthesia care unit). I thoroughly enjoy working as a PACU nurse.

Beck: I graduated from Purdue University in May 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. My original course of study was biology, but I was struggling to identify a career path that I would enjoy. I explored my options on campus and thought nursing would be a good, practical application

of biology. I have practiced as a nurse consistently since 1999, and I have always worked in the emergency room. I’m dyed in the wool, so to speak.

What is your favorite part of nursing?

Murphy: I think the biggest thing, other than helping people, is that there’s so many different possibilities and opportunities you can choose. You don’t have to stick with one particular job or location. You can switch different units and there are so many options, you never get bored.

Boller: Nursing was a career that I always felt called to. While physically and mentally draining at times, the rewards I get from interacting with patients and families makes it worth it and is a reminder of why I went into nursing.

Beck: I am an adrenaline junkie, so I enjoy caring for critically or acutely ill patients. My favorites over the years have been those people who have an unexpected cardiac event, and we have been able to restore them to health and send them home to their families.

What is the most challenging part of nursing?

Murphy: One of the challenging parts is you never can predict the amount of (patients) you’re going to have. One

day you can have 12 deliveries, and the next day there’s none.

It’s kind of hard to know exactly what you’ll walk in to.

Boller: In my experience, two of the biggest challenges in nursing I face are the physical toll it takes on your body with the constant lifting and turning of patients in a society where the majority of the population is overweight, and pain management and managing the patient’s expectations of an acceptable level of pain in an environment where we have an opioid crisis.

Beck: I think the biggest challenge today is providing the care that patients need amidst increasing regulations or expectations from multiple sources. Between government and accrediting bodies, insurance and third-party payers, and even information available via the internet, it can be difficult to provide excellent patient care when being questioned or second-guessed about every action.

Nurses Week plans All three nurses said most of their National Nurses Week celebrations will occur in the hospital.

“I don’t really do anything for it, usually, but at work they will have different treats or something each day of the week,” IU Health North nurse Samantha Murphy said. “Sometimes, my mom gets me a card.”

Beck said she doesn’t have special plans, either.

“I am not doing anything special, nor does my family do anything for Nurses’ Week. However, the hospital and the ER do make a lot of effort to show us their appreciation during the week,” Beck said. “There are small prizes given away, complimentary meals and treats, and even our emergency physicians’ group will chip in for a special ‘thank-you’ to the nurses.”

Eskenazi Hospital nurse Paula Boller said her hospital recognizes nurses during the week.

“Our hospital system does an excellent job at celebrating their nursing staff with many different treats throughout the week,” she said.

ESSAY

LETTER

Control reset

Elect Nation to council

Commentary by Terry Anker Working remotely brings with it a number of tangible and intangible benefits. The boss can’t walk by and see the fantasy football planner on our computer screen. We get to take coffee breaks with people that we, not HR, picked.

And, nobody steals our lunch from the company refrigerator. Yet, like all things, with the apparent benefits come some measurable downsides. We have to buy our own K-cups. We have to clean our own bathrooms. Even more painful, we are dependent on the gods of the internet, and IT support is us.

Folks are all too eager to control our choices. With each “upgrade” to many software applications, programmers “helpfully” reset our devices to the “preferred” defaults. Sure, we’d like them to send us as much junk mail as possible.

It is already difficult to get through a telephone call with an essential client saying they’ve decided to wait on their order “until this is all over – maybe spring of 2021” while our 4 year-old is asking us to replace the batteries in her favorite toy. Now, we are getting “important” text updates from the retailer where we bought novelty Fourth of July socks in 2018. It is good that they are washing their hands before packing their discounted Baby Yoda hosiery, but is it really an urgent update?

Who gets to set, or reset, our settings? By using the phone, computer, internet provider or social media platform, did we really agree to surrender all freedom? Is it a natural consequence of humanity that our desire to regulate others increases even as we are feeling more powerless ourselves? Plus, the various application authorities are often in conflict, each demanding priority command over us, causing the whole system to lock-up. Do they have resetting control, or can we reasonably demand our own independent license?

Misery loves (family) company Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve been doing a ton of self-reflecting lately, mostly to figure out why I can’t embrace the misery and love my HUMOR family. Other people seem to be doing it. Why can’t I? This introspection has prompted several trips down memory lane, the longest of which was to another godforsaken time in my life when I was a stay-at-home mom with four children under 5. Talk about being miserable. Minimal adult interaction, debilitating boredom (“No. More. Polly Pockets!”) broken only by short bursts of crisis management (“Whose blood is this?”) and pure jealousy that my husband, Doo, got to leave the house each morning to do important, grown-up things.

Then it hit me. I’ve been writing this column for 13 years. Thirteen! I started as a way to cope with my “domestic role,” to vent my fears and frustrations about parenting and marriage. Also because some really funny shtick happens in a house full

of rugrats that simply had to be shared.

Ever witness a toddler poo fight? Classic.

Though I’m now a working mom of mostly adult kids, this column has remained a weekly ritual that allows me to analyze and purge the emotions I bottle up (because big girls don’t cry!). Rage, bitterness, the overwhelming desire to judge other women -- I have an outlet to express myself and hopefully connect with like-minded people (I know you’re there!) This column is therapy -- so much so that I still look forward to sitting down and writing. It gives me perspective on “the misery” and reminds me that I do, in fact, love my family, even though I constantly want to off them.

Peace out.

It gives me perspective on “the misery” and reminds me that I do, in fact, love my family, even though I constantly want to off them.

Editor, There are few people more well-suited to the Hamilton County Council than Steve Nation. I feel lucky to consider him a friend, and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on projects like the Career Center. Thanks to Steve Nation’s tremendous commitment to Hamilton County, many residents are safer and have the resources they need to meet their highest potential.

Steve also was the driving force behind establishing our county’s Youth Assistance Programs and victim assistance in cases like domestic violence and child abuse. His efforts in this arena have been recognized internationally, and he was even awarded Person of the Year by the International Association of Truancy and Dropout Prevention and was awarded the prestigious Sagamore of the Wabash Award, presented by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

Especially in times like these, it is critical to have leadership that is prepared for any scenario. I know Steve Nation has the skills necessary to tackle diverse problems like budget discrepancies, reviewing conflicts and county resource funding. We would be well-positioned with him on the county council.

Ken Alexander, Westfield

Sunshine after the storm Commentary by Carol Applegate We have all been at home for so long that it is difficult to think life, as we knew it, will ever return. I was feeling a HOSPITAL little hopeless as I awoke this morning, looking for encouragement and a positive perspective on my daily routine. That hope came later when I was privileged to hear Dr. Ryan Nagy, IU Health Methodist president, give an update on COVID-19 to the members of the IU Health Foundation.

The report reassured us that the hospital was stable with the number of COVID-19 patients remaining steady. There were zero employees lost to the virus, and the few that had tested positive were recovering.

The staff was able to work in a controlled and manageable environment. This is not the story that was heard from other hospitals in New York and Chicago.

So, why the difference? In my opinion, we are very fortunate to have strong health care leadership and top-notch facilities.

With three major hospital systems in Indianapolis, not only do we have a higher capacity for sick patients and staff to care for those patients, but we also have had adequate supplies. Our hospitals are financially stable, which has allowed us to respond to the crisis in a timely manner.

However, one of the major issues that we have faced is testing. IU Health is now able to do its own testing within its facility, which means it also is able to process 3,500 tests a day. This is huge progress!

Because of this, IU Health also is reaching out to provide testing supplies to a nearby long-term care facility. This will allow all facility residents to receive testing and get their results in a shortened amount of time.

Hopefully, this testing can be expanded throughout Indiana when supplies are adequate to do so.

From one who worries about the most vulnerable population, our elderly, and who has witnessed the agony that patients and families have had to endure when they are unable to see their loved ones in a facility, this was great news to me. It is comforting to know that these issues are acknowledged by IU Health and that actions are being taken to address the needs of our elderly population.

How to prevent foggy glasses from face mask wear — Homemade face masks are becoming the norm as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the United States, with some states — namely New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and beyond — now requiring them in public. But if you are a glasses wearer, you may have noticed that wearing a face mask can cause your lenses to fog. There appears to be a simple solution. In a 2011 study by the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, researchers advised washing the glasses with soapy water “immediately” before wearing a face mask. After shaking off any excess water, “let the spectacles air dry or gently dry off the lenses with a soft tissue before putting them back on. Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn,” they wrote.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern marble kitchen in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• The support columns dividing the kitchen from the family room were removed. In their place, an arched walkway was constructed.

• All new maple cabinetry was installed along the perimeter and the island. The space now has a wealth of storage and organization solutions, including heavy-duty roll-out trays, an appliance garage, built-in wine rack and a spice rack insert next to the cooktop.

• The Carrara marble backsplash is laid in a herringbone pattern; the countertop is white dolomite.

THE CHALLENGE This 2008 home is in Carmel’s Shelbourne Estates neighborhood. The original kitchen was finished in dark tones and featured support columns that closed the kitchen off to the adjoining living room. The new homeowners wanted to create a more open, airy space for their growing family.

Prices vary. Visit us.orderspoon.com/4GVJXWWRRPCK1 for the full menu.

How to pre-order: Items must be ordered by May 6 and are available for pickup May 10.

The timing seemed right to Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey McDermott, STAGE McDermott announced April 24 that the Carmel center will be closed for programming through June 30. That includes three venues: The Tarkington, the Palladium McDermott and the Studio Theater.

Initially, the venues were closed until May 11 due to gathering restrictions because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Among the events affected are Jr. Civic’s production of “Frozen Jr.,” set for June 19-24.

McDermott said Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home extensions tend to be between one- and three-week increments.

“For performing arts, that’s difficult because you have to deal with rehearsals and travel and things like that, so you have to take a bit of a longer view,” McDermott said.

“We felt we had to add some certainty to things beyond what the executive orders were able to provide.”

McDermott said the situation has made completing the 2020-21 season difficult.

“It’s a fluid situation unlike any of us has to deal with before,” he said. “We had a lot of the season scheduled, but we didn’t have it ready to go and ready to announce yet.

Normally, we’d be announcing the entire season in the mid-May time frame. We are still taking a wait-and-see approach. There are too many moving pieces and too many unknowns.”

McDermott said the Great American Songbook Foundation will hold its annual Songbook Academy featuring approximately 40 high school students. However, it is possible the July 11-18 event will be held as a virtual program rather than at the Palladium.

“We are coming up with three or four different scenarios, but I can say with a lot of confidence it’s going to be great program this summer, one way or another,” McDermott said.

CARRYOUT EDITION

Rise’n Roll Bakery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9705 Fishers District Dr. What to get: Crunch Bismark Price: $1.79 Anna’s take: Let me preface by saying I despise people who take to social media to complain about a restaurant without consulting management first, and I’ve never had to write a negative review, whether restaurants knew I was coming or not, and I have been excited to try Rise’n Roll Bakery, a bakery started by an Amish couple in Middlebury famous for its cinnamon caramel doughnut. A location recently opened in Fishers District, and I thought I’d give it a go.

I ordered one cinnamon caramel dough-

nut, one Crunch Bismark doughnut and a pack of three cowboy cookies. I arrived, paid and ate one cookie in the car. It was amazing. Upon arriving home, I realized I had been given a plain glazed doughnut instead of a cinnamon caramel crunch. I ate it, and it was good, but I remind everyone

to check their bags before rushing home to stuff their face with doughnuts. I did not call the bakery, but I’m sure if I had, they would have remedied the situation. That said, I definitely would return to Rise’n Roll because I still haven’t tried that famous cinnamon caramel doughnut.

Working From Home With Kids Recently, many of us have had to get used to working from home.

While we all love spending time with our children, it can be difficult managing time with work as well as our little ones.

Here are some tips on making it work.

DISPATCH Streaming Mother’s Day event set — Following its debut in two sold-out performances last year, “Listen to Your Mother Indy” is back to celebrate Mother’s Day 2020 by “giving motherhood a microphone.” “The Fearless Leap” will premiere the all-new storytelling show online to raise money for women in business. The streaming event is set for 7 p.m. May 9. Tickets are $12 and available at thefearlessleap.simpletix.com.

Producer Haley Lawrence, Carmel, auditioned dozens of local men and women and chose 12 of the most diverse storytellers to entertain and inspire audiences. Audiences also can buy $5 raffle tickets for goods and services from more than a dozen women-owned businesses in central Indiana.

All raffle proceeds, as well as a portion of ticket sales, will be donated to the Pass the Torch for Women Foundation. The nonprofit supports women throughout their careers with mentoring, networking and leadership training.
