TO OUR READERS: Thank you for supporting Current in Westfield and its advertisers by reading our edition each week. We fully understand how fortunate we are to have the level of loyal readership we enjoy (92 percent in each of 13,420 households – SMARI, Inc.). We are proud of and grateful for being the purveyor of local news and information that, in many cases, cannot otherwise be consumed.

Whatever your reason or reasons for continuing to use Current in Westfield as your local news source, your support means the world to us.

Now, we have a favor to ask. In light of the recent economic downturn and rising postal and newsprint increases, we have decided to institute a voluntary pay program. Believe it or not, your help with a $25 contribution for one year of receiving Current in Westfield

will make a significant difference to our employees and to our operation. If you’re curious as to how that $25 affects Current, it takes $0.49 per paper to produce and deliver, and the $25 equates to $0.48 per piece.

We will continue, unabated, to deliver quality and factual news and information to Westfield, and we will continue to support the community’s not-for-profits with advertising at no cost as we have since our founding in 2006.

Restaurants look at new protocols as they begin to reopen

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Besides adhering to strict state guidelines, local restaurant owners are taking extra steps to protect patrons as they begin reopening to dine-in COVER STORY service.

On March 16, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb ordered restaurants to halt dine-in service to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But most eateries throughout the state, with the exception of Marion and Lake counties, were permitted to reopen May 11 at 50 percent capacity. Many restaurants, like Wolfies Grill, which has locations in Westfield, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Geist, have taken extra cautionary measures since reopening May 11.

When diners enter a Wolfies Grill, they’ll see designated entrance and exit. They’ll also see a sign displaying symptoms of COVID-19 and asking diners with those symptoms to not enter the building. Wolfies also takes the temperature of its employees each day and asks them a series of health questions.

“That’s for every employee, and we will document that as long as we need to,” Wolfies Area Director Alec Wolf said.

“That’s just a part of this process, making sure anyone entering the building is of good health.”

Wolfies Grill staff members also wear gloves and masks.

“That’s precautionary. It’s not mandated, but for us, we wanted to be on the forefront,” Wolf said.

Wolfies Grill also has created a new paid position called a sanitizer specialist at each of its five locations. The Broken Barrel in Carmel and Italian House on Park in Westfield, also owned by the Wolf family, have sanitizer specialists as well.

“This person’s entire job is to keep up on sanitation,” Wolf

Field Brewing is utilizing both of its buildings for seating.

said. “We have a three-step process where anything with a high-contact surface like chairs, tables, door handles, anything that might get touched frequently, they are going to clean that in a three-step cleaning process. They will disinfect it and use water to remove the disinfectant and finish with sanitizer.”

Sanitizer specialists work throughout the time the restaurants are open – 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. for Wolfies Grill and 5 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 4 to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday for The Italian House on Park.

Field Brewing in Westfield also is implementing similar methods. Co-owner Jackie Dikos knows not everyone is

“This person’s entire job is to keep up on sanitation. We have a three-step process where anything with a high-contact surface like chairs, tables, door handles, anything that might get touched frequently, they are going to clean that in a three-step cleaning process. They will disinfect it and use water to remove the disinfectant and finish with sanitizer.”

ready to venture out into the public yet, and so the restaurant continues to offer takeout services.

“The big thing we want to reiterate is, we recognize not everyone is ready to get out, so we are continuing our no-contact curbside for people who want it and no-contact delivery,” Dikos said.

Field employees wear masks and hand sanitizer is placed at every entry. Tables are spaced 6 to 7 feet apart and Field Brewing is utilizing its second building to offer more seating.

Field Brewing is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day and expects to expand those hours soon.

OTHER SAFETY MEASURES In addition to wearing gloves and masks, adding sanitation specialists, screening employees and creating designated entries and exits, Wolfies Grill also has added foot door pulls for all doors and made all restrooms single-use only. Clear markers have been placed on the ground to represent where diners should stand if they are waiting, and diners are advised to wait in their cars if there’s a wait list.

Table interaction is limited, and many items are now disposable, such as menus. Condiments like ketchup and mustard will no longer be placed on the table.

“Some of this may be viewed as over dramatic, but we want to be sure we are adhering to everything,” Area Director Alec Wolf said. “In my opinion, I think this will last through July 4. I’m not sure what long term looks like.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Economic SOS

Your vote, our future

Commentary by Terry Anker Dinner is planned on the Lido Deck and then we’ll retire to a show or a little dancing to burn off some of the overeating that tends to happen on these Caribbean cruises. The night is planned, and all is well. Then, like so many times in life, we are reminded that less is in our control than we might ordinarily like to believe. The horns sound and it seems there is another “test” of ourselves and crew in meeting the required U.S. Coast Guard lifeboat drill. Didn’t they say when we did this before leaving port that we would only have to do this once per trip? Maybe they meant that we must do it each time we come and go from U.S. waters. Where are we, anyway?

So the story goes, when the alarms sound, we often find ourselves in disbelief. This cannot be happening. Is it possible that the ship is going down?

Will we survive? Should we try to get our luggage? Do these guys who last night were making swans out of the aluminum foil wrapping our leftovers from dinner have a wealth of knowledge in nautical survival? Will they really help us before they help themselves? Do we give our seat to the 90-year-old or do we do our best to survive and to raise our own young kids? What is the moral duty and to whom?

As the warning horns are blaring from The New York Times to Fox News, is our ship, the USS Economica, really going down? How many of us will live to tell about it? Will we be among those lost at sea? It is good if we can swim, but how long can we hope to tread water? Where are the sharks? Is help coming too late?

As the warning horns are blaring from The New York Times to Fox News, is our ship, the USS Economica, really going down?

Survival of the (mentally) fittest Commentary by Danielle Wilson With at least eight more weeks of my kids being home and some type of social distancing still in place, I’ve HUMOR decided it’s time for drastic measures at Chez Wilson.

Consider this our Defcon 5 Summer Survival Plan (SSP).

In truth, this isn’t different from any other attempt to navigate the two months of unscheduled chaos that ensues when three angsty young adults, two ill-prepared parents and one high schooler who desperately wants her driver’s license try to live together under the same roof while fighting for cars and food and access to the washing machine. And that’s the problem. We’ve essentially been in our “summer” mode since March, when we were prematurely forced to implement a chore chart and reacquaint ourselves with each other’s mood indicators. Our never-really-large supply of patience and compassion now stands empty, as June and July glare menacingly from the horizon. Hence, the necessary elevation to a

more extreme version of our usual SSP. So, all our current expectations remain in play, but with a few added, shall we say, incentives. Chores not complete? Phone is confiscated. No job? No student loan co-signature. Chew obnoxiously next to Mom when she’s clearly agitated? Caps. Busted.

Because let’s be real. Regardless of the rules I create, the alliances that inevitably form, and the back-bedroom deals made in the dark of night, no one will emerge in August unscathed. The goal then is not to achieve the impossible – universal happiness – but rather to minimize emotional damage and put a little cash aside for future psychiatric services. And by that, I mean my emotional damage and my eventual need of therapy.

Godspeed, friends. See you on the other side. Peace out.

Editor, COVID-19 has upended our lives and thrown us into an unprecedented health and economic crisis. We face a challenging road ahead and Indiana’s recovery will largely be shaped by our elected officials.

I’m a candidate for Indiana House District 39, and as our state moves forward, I believe we can and should make the future better for all Hoosiers.

As a small business owner with three young children, I understand the uncertainty we are facing as we cautiously adjust to a new normal. But one thing is certain, restarting the economy requires a clear commitment to Indiana’s families.

We need a comprehensive plan for expanding affordable, quality child care so families can get back to work.

We need to ensure recovery funds reach small businesses to protect working families and spur growth.

We need to care for seniors and to keep families together by making it possible to age at home.

Now is the time to advance an inclusive economic recovery. Our families must come first. I encourage you to reach out by visiting my website kleinforindiana.com.

Ashley Klein, candidate for state representative District 39

Elect Maki for county council Editor, We have an opportunity to add a new voice to our county council, one that has been genuinely involved in our community and has a deep understanding of the county and its issues. That person is Sue Maki.

I first met Sue when we were going through the Hamilton County Leadership Academy. For 23 years I served as executive director of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce and observed firsthand her work ethic and commitment to our community at all levels. Sue was active with the Westfield

Chamber as well as other chambers in the county.

I am thrilled to see that Sue plans on bringing her experience and talents to county council. Sue has both for-profit and nonprofit management success. Through the years, I witnessed her dedication to the community through her volunteer efforts and professional pursuits. Sue will bring a history of accomplishments and servant leadership to county council.

Morozov’s view resembles 1950s Editor’s note: The incorrect version of this letter was previously published Editor, In response to Morozov’s view (Current April 7), calling (Bernie) Sanders a communist is as unfair as calling a businessman who operates in the corrupt country of Ukraine a Pro-Russian operative.

Morozov’s view resembles the 1950s.

Communism/socialism is the totalitarian control of national production and distribution. Actually, the only governments that profess to be that are actually totalitarian.

To my understanding, Democratic socialism is where the governed, through electoral choice, decide what common resources will be made available for the public good. The vast majority of modern nations have both democratically elected govern-

ments and elements of socialism. Most have public health systems and social safety nets for seniors and free or subsidized education systems. None are on the path to being Venezuela or North Korea.

Morozov parrots that people are being offered a bunch of free stuff. We all know that somebody pays for the things that, as a society, we mostly agree are valuable. We all pay for public schools, fire and police departments, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, public roads, sanitation systems and countless other things. That’s what Democratic socialism is. The simple conversation should be if we think everyone should have basic medical care or workers have some voice in the companies they enable.

DIY for soft tissue issues Commentary by Seth Tucker When it comes to the mechanics of movement, most of us are familiar with the major joints, the bones that FITNESS come together to make those joints and that muscles pull on those bones in order to move our limbs.

These muscles consist of several layers and groups stacked on each other all throughout the body.

The muscles work by gliding across one another in a symphony of contraction and relaxation, all coordinated around electrical impulses sent by the brain to achieve movement. The muscles exist inside another matrix of tissue called fascia, which helps keep the muscles grouped and pulling more effectively and efficiently. However, fascia is susceptible to becoming matted or stuck to the surrounding tissues, and different lifestyle factors will dictate which areas are most affected. When tissues effectively become matted together, it causes restricted movement, tightness and oftentimes pain.

Stretching is useful but has its limitations.

The good news is there is a whole field of study around soft tissue mobilization, or the attempt to physically manipulate the muscles and fascia in different areas of the body to keep the tissues moving effectively.

Like changing the oil in your car, it is important to perform regular maintenance on the body. Of the many methods available, there are two modalities that are relatively cheap and can deal with most tightness and restriction. Those are the foam roller and a lacrosse ball.

There are many ways to utilize the foam roller and lacrosse ball. You can find several methods demonstrated on YouTube, but for simplicity’s sake, here is a brief description of how you can reap the benefits of these tools. For large muscle groups like the upper and lower leg, you can reach for a medium-density foam roller. As for getting deep-

er into muscles like those found across your back, you may choose the lacrosse ball.

When using the foam roller, the idea is to apply enough pressure to the muscle that you create tolerable discomfort and work in small, concentrated areas. You can either maintain static pressure or very slowly roll back and forth only 2 to 4 inches at a time and focus on deep, controlled breathing until the muscle begins to relax, usually around 30 to 90 seconds, before moving on to the next section of muscle. For people who spend a lot of time sitting at a desk with their shoulders slouched forward, you may benefit in opening up the chest and extending the spine of the upper back, also known as the thoracic spine. You can do this by laying your upper back over the roller while elevating the hips, engaging the abdominal muscles and supporting the neck and head. Do not foam-roll the low back; stop where the ribs stop on your spine.

The lacrosse ball is similar, but instead of rolling back and forth, you will simply maintain pressure on a single point and attempt to relax the muscle while using controlled, deep breathing until the muscle begins to relax in that 30- to 90-second timeframe.

Spend some time exploring different muscles for tightness. Avoid using the lacrosse ball directly on bones or the spine.

In some cases, you may be dealing with an actual injury or structural issue in the body and you should consult a physician.

Always use your best judgement and listen to your body. For more examples and details from a licensed physiotherapist, you can search YouTube for one of Kelly Starrett’s many videos on lacrosse balls and foam rollers.

We want to honor our veterans and thank them for their courage and commitment in protecting our country and safeguarding our freedoms. To those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we are forever indebted.

Intelligent Systems’ touchless technology can quickly measure temperatures at entryways.

Tech quickly measures temperatures in large groups

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Read them Online at youarecurrent.com/vote

Intelligent Systems supplies the perfect technology for times of pandemic.

“It’s a thermal-based PANDEMIC camera system combined with a black body device that gives a way to calibrate the image sensors against the background,” said Stephe Blansette, Intelligent Systems founder and president. “There is a lot of technology coming Blansette out right now that isn’t a two-pieced thermal scanner, so it’s not nearly as accurate as this product is (measuring body temperature). The product is .3 degree celsius accurate. It’s able to analyze up to 5,000 people per hour coming through the image screen.”

Blansette said the system understands the geometry of the face and focuses on the forehead, the largest flat surface on the face. It works whether the person is wearing a mask or not.

The engineering and integration company, which started in 2004, is near the Westfield-Carmel border at the intersection of 146th Street and Carey Road.

Blansette said the system sounds an alarm or sends an email when it detects a high temperature.

“You want to pretty quickly pull that person aside because of the high risk and do a

secondary screening,” Blansette said.

Blansette, who said he also would work with city and county governments if there is interest in the system, said the technology is fairly new in the United States.

“I believe we’re the first to deploy it here in Indiana,” he said. “We’ve had good success with it so far.”

Blansette said he didn’t want to go into detail about his company’s clients, but IU Health has already publicized it is using the company’s system. Manufacturing companies are other potential clients.

Businesses can use the system to determine who should be at work, according to the company policy’s on temperatures.

Blansette said the best way to use it is to have someone monitor the screens so they can act quickly on any high risk.

Blansette said large event venues are potential clients for the technology to be used at entry points.

“You can’t just manually scan people one at a time,” he said. “This technology allows you to move a high number of people with a high degree of accuracy through the entry.”

The average system price starts at approximately $23,000, depending on the features.

“It also does facial recognition,” Blansette said. “If you have an employe who has made a threat, we can put that image into a database, and the camera will recognize them any time they walk into a building as long as there is a camera in that area.”

Nickel Plate Arts perseveres through pandemic

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com As evidenced by global lockdowns, the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a dark cloud on virtually all public, NONPROFIT private and nonprofit entities. But if there can be such a thing as a silver lining amidst quarantine gloom, the creative collaborators at Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville have found it.

Social distancing and in-person obstacles notwithstanding, the creative forces at Nickel Plate Arts have turned barriers into outlets.

“One of the great things about working in our creative community is that art goes on even through crisis,” said Nickel Plate Arts Executive Director Aili McGill, who has served in her role since 2012. “In fact, many of our artists, performers and teachers have been busier during this lockdown than they were before because they are creating art and designing opportunities in reaction to the pandemic to help them and their followers process all of the strange things they are experiencing.”

A nonprofit that serves much of eastern Hamilton County, from Fishers to Atlanta, Nickel Plate Arts cultivates cultural growth by developing and integrating visual and performing arts in downtowns and parks and by supporting more than 200 professional local artists. It also raises awareness for the arts by supporting venues where people can enjoy the arts.

Because of the pandemic, access to nonessential venues has been shut down since mid-March. But Nickel Plate Arts has opened several creative avenues to keep access to art flowing. Examples include offering online classes, establishing online exhibits and creating portals for artists to reach audiences and potential buyers.

“We have opened up our Facebook feed to our artist network and have had artists post videos at 1 and 6 p.m. on most days,” McGill said. “This is a great opportunity for our artists to check in, to share what they’re doing, to reconnect with friends virtually, to sell items and to learn new skills. We’re always looking for new people

Virtual show features stories about motherhood

to add to our feed.”

Online classes, exhibits and other virtual content have been well-received — so much so that a some components might become permanent when social distance guidelines are lifted.

“We have also converted our monthly First Friday events to an online format,” McGill said. “We go through our exhibits, which we’ve converted to an all-digital format, and share stories from artists, musicians and community members. It’s a fun time, and we will likely continue to offer digital First Fridays for at least a few months and may keep some digital elements in our in-person events once those resume.”

Besides social media and online content, Nickel Plates Arts is assembling and distributing Emergency Art Kits for adults, teens and children who cannot afford art supplies. The initiative, which has already

provided more than 200 kits, is supported by the Hamilton County Community Foundation, the Richard M. Shulze Family Foundation and 100 Women Who Care Hamilton County. To request art supplies for someone in need, contact McGill at amcgill@nickelplatearts.org. For more on the program, visit nickelplatearts.org/artkits.

“The response to our efforts has been overwhelming in a great way,” McGill said.

“We have been delighted to see so many people tuning into our live posts, joining us for Virtual First Fridays and sharing their content with us on other social media platforms. Some of our events and classes have had greater attendance online than they would have had they taken place in-person, and we’ve received participation and support from people all over the globe.”

Producer Haley Lawrence had to adjust her “Listen To Your Mother” performance from a series of live STORYTELLING readings to a virtual production because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Listen To Your Mother” had two sold-out shows at Indy Fringe Theatre in Indianapolis in May 2019.

It was scheduled May 9 at the University of IndiLawrence anapolis, the day before Mother’s Day, before it had to shift gears to a virtual production.

Lawrence, a Carmel resident who owns The Fearless Leap, chose 11 central Indiana storytellers to inspire audiences with their personal tales. Lawrence chose the 11 from dozens of auditions.

“It’s giving motherhood a microphone,” she said.

Singer Allison Victoria and performance artist and poet Manon Voice were part of the production.

“The response has been fantastic,” said Lawrence, who said the show had sold 129 tickets as of mid-May. The show is available to watch for the rest of May on thefearlessleap.simpletix.com.

Tickets are $12 for the nonprofit show in support of Pass The Torch For Women Foundation. There are $5 raffle tickets available with 100 percent of sales going to Pass The Torch.

Bailey Wright, a 2019 Carmel High School graduate who attends Indiana University, helped edit the program.

“He did a great job putting it together and a local director (Paul Nethercott) assisted me,” Lawrence said.

The title sponsor is Westfield resident Michelle Hammes of Keller Williams/Ruggles Realty Group.

Author Ann Imig founded “Listen To Your Mother” in Wisconsin in 2010. Lawrence has the central Indiana rights to the show, which is held in 50-plus cities as a charitable event.

Rail to reopen as brunch, lunch spot

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Rail hasn’t yet reopened to dine-service, but when it does, co-owners Toby and Melanie Miles plan RESTAURANT to return to their roots and operate the restaurant as a brunch and lunch eatery instead of a lunch and dinner destination.

“When we first opened, obviously it was just Mel and I. We didn’t know what to expect, so we started off with a really small kitchen,” Toby said. “We thought a small kitchen would be fine, and we would use one floor (of the renovated barn at 211 Park St. Westfield) and somebody else would rent the second floor. The more we got into it, the more we realized people want to go out to eat in Westfield.”

When The Rail first opened, Westfield had few restaurants. The Miles offered wine dinners and discovered there was a popular demand for dinner restaurants in Westfield.

“We thought, ‘OK, we can do a little bit of dinner,’ and it snowballed from there,” Toby said. “We never really were set up for

Co-owners Toby and Melanie Miles plan to return The Rail into a breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant. (File photo)

a dinner service. Our kitchen is 182 square feet when it’s empty, and that’s all the prep space and cooking space and service space. Doing dinner was possible because the (employees) we have are awesome, but it’s a lot of work to consistently make that happen.”

Although the Miles enjoyed offering

dinner, the COVID-19 pandemic made them rethink their business model with regard to their employees.

“Everybody needs to spend more time with their family, and making that shift to go back to what we were doing before seemed like a necessity for everybody,” Toby said.

Employees will still work a full 40-hour week but will only work at the restaurant four days a week.

“It’s just kind of a good chance for us to reset and reevaluate what we are set up to do and do the best in our setup,” Toby said. “What we originally set out to do was breakfast and lunch. The brunch menu we’ve been testing these last three or four weeks. We have been testing recipes, and it’s a big brunch menu. We have our lunch menu we are adding to. It’s a Rail brunch menu, so it’s not your typical brunch menu.”

A reopening date hasn’t been set, but when The Rail does reopen, its hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant will be closed Mondays.

Kingston’s at Spotlight set to open in June — Randall Rosenthal, owner of Humble Creations Studios, and Carmel resident Rick Kingston with Kingston’s Audio, previously friendly competitors for years, have partnered in a new venue, band rehearsal space and recording studio in Indianapolis. The Spotlight Indy at 5060 E. 62nd Street, Suite 100, will offer a contemporary event venue, seating up to 150 guests in a theater and/or dinner setting.

Kingston’s at Spotlight will resume its band rehearsal space, which is a “plug-and-play” resource for musicians, both professional and avocational. Kingston’s will provide bands a large studio with complete backline and professional audio, along with video production and streaming capabilities. Jim Geiman with Glass Eye Group handles the video end of the business with 4K cameras and music video production. Kingston’s plans to open in mid-June for rehearsals and mid-July for events.

CYT camps offer variety news@currentincarmel.com To serve parents who are ready to send their kids into the world and those moms and dads who are still a little THEATER cautious, Christian Youth Theater is offering virtual and in-person camp opportunities this summer.

“We’re hearing two distinct messages, ‘We’re keeping our kids home from camp this summer’ and ‘We wouldn’t miss sending our kids to your camp for the world,’ so this is our way of bridging that gap,” CYT Executive Director Laura Baltz stated.

In-person camps are scheduled during July and feature Camp Hakuna Mata and Under the Sea themes, as well as a teen camp that auditions, rehearses and performs “Seussical Jr.” in only a week.

Although in-person camps still include singing, dancing and acting, they will look different than previous summer camps.

“Numbers will be smaller, and we will follow all CDC guidelines to protect the health of our kids,” Camp Director Levi Burke stated.

Virtual camps have some creative options. Students can take jazz dance classes, write theatrical scripts, learn advanced stage makeup techniques and participate in

9th Street Bistro 9th Street Bistro offers ready-to-heat meals and is in the process of opening a restaurant in downtown Noblesville. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 56 S. Ninth St., Noblesville.

What to get: Chicken Pot Pie Price: $15 Anna’s take: 9th Street Bistro is in the process of opening its restaurant in downtown Noblesville. In the meantime, it has items available for preorder and at the Noblesville Farmers Market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at Federal Hill Commons. The meals come refrigerated with reheating and freezing instructions. I sampled each of the following: Chicken pot pie ($15) with roasted chicken, carrots, celery, potatoes and peas in a homemade pie dough; shrimp and polenta ($14) with garlic marinated shrimp sautéed with roasted tomato, shallot, peppers, chorizo and pimen-

to-cheese polenta; and beef stroganoff ($14) with beef braised with shallots, garlic and mushrooms in a light dill cream sauce and homemade pasta. I also tried the freshly baked rosemary focaccia ($4) and pimento cheese spread ($6). Each of the items has serving recommendations, and some serve one to two people whereas the pot pie can serve up to three. Everything was delicious and homemade, and it was so easy to pop it in the oven or microwave and enjoy. The menu changes weekly. New menus are published on Tuesdays. Preorders are accepted

by Friday for the Sunday Supper Club, which is a ready-to-heat pick-up on Sunday afternoon. Each week’s meals are available at the market.

Behind Bars: Tito’s Blueberry Lemonade

Get it at Four Day Ray, Fishers Ingredients: 2 oz. Tito’s blueberry-infused vodka, 3 oz.
