$18M project denied 4-2 after unexpected discussion, vote

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com An $18 million, four-story project in the heart of Westfield was voted down June 8 by the Westfield City GOVERNMENT Council after a late change to the virtual meeting’s agenda brought the EdgeRock Development proposal to a vote.

EdgeRock Managing Director Birch Dalton had planned a 90,000-square-foot building for approximately 100 market-rate apartments on three floors above first floor retail space of 30,000 square feet, immediately east of Riverview Hospital.

The proposal originally was to be discussed at the June 8 meeting but was removed from the agenda at the request of Dalton. Council members voted to add the petition — a rezone of the property to put the project in compliance — back to the agenda at the request of councilor Mike Johns.

With councilor Joe Edwards absent, only councilors Jake Gilbert and Scott Willis voted in favor of the rezone request and project. The final vote was 4-2 against.

The project received a positive recommendation from the June 3 Westfield Advisory Plan Commission, and an initial iteration of the proposed project from 2014 originally received full council support.

Willis and Gilbert let their frustration be known.

“I’m not a fan of this development I’m even less of a fan of the original development, and I’m not sure why we approved that to begin with, but if we vote this down, we go back to the original (planned unit development), and I think that the second (version) that’s in front of us is a better project.

It has better tax revenue generation for the city,” Willis said. “I know I did not do a thorough analysis of this PUD, because once I knew he was pulling it, I just didn’t give it the consideration. I just don’t like this way this feels with this last-minute change and

throwing it out there for a vote.”

Councilor Cindy Spoljaric, who voted against the petition, said she was familiar with the proposal when it went through the APC, a board on which she serves.

“Adding an extra story (to the original plan) does really impact the neighbors to the east,” she said. “I have more concerns that the PUD doesn’t have standards for a parking structure, so as I started to think about this and how it could develop, there’s actually very little that we understand about what could actually happen with this building. There are a multitude of reasons that I don’t think this is ready, and I don’t think this is the right project for (this location) at this time.”

Councilor Jake Gilbert made clear his issue about taking a vote.

“Whether we vote it up or down, I thought there would be more time to explore some of the outstanding questions (related to parking, traffic, scale),” Gilbert said. “If I knew we were voting tonight, I guess I would have made better contact and done a better job serving the citizens.

I’ve just never seen anything like this. I think it’s a bush-league process. I think it’s disrespectful. For us to put this back (up to a vote) after it was pulled, I just have zero understanding of how that’s quality government.”

Because the council voted down the proposal, the plat of land will revert to the original PUD. Councilors said they expect Dalton will rework his plans for the site and go back through the APC process for approval.

State launches testing network, moves to Stage 4

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com State officials have launched a statewide lab-testing network to increase the number of COVID-19 test swabs that PANDEMIC can be processed in Indiana each day.

The network is a result of a partnership with Eli Lilly and the Indiana Hospital Association.

Currently, the state has a limited amount of testing reagents and equipment available for individual labs. The Indiana State Dept. of Health laboratory and nine other private labs will form a lab-testing network, forging one entity that can purchase reagents and supplies in the international marketplace.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the network will allow the state to vie for national and international testing equipment by leveraging the state’s buying power. Box said the state will purchase approximately $60 million of bulk testing reagents and equipment, which the labs will buy from the state.

“This will allow the state to diversify its testing methods in case supplies of reagents for one particular agent are in short supply,” Box said during a June 10 virtual press briefing.

The state reported that it has ordered reagents that will allow labs to double their processing capacity each day, and it is planning to purchase new testing equipment later in August, in a second phase, to further increase lab capacity.

To date, the state has created 202 COVID-19 testing sites in 80 percent of Indiana’s 92 counties.

Stage 4 reopening On June 10, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced the state will move to Stage 4 of its reopening plan. Holcomb and Box said the four principles the state has used to track its ability to reopen have remained steady or shown improvement. The benchmarks are decreased COVID-19 hospitalizations, retained ICU bed and ventilator capacity, the ability to test anyone with COVID-19 symptoms and the ability to contact trace

all positive cases.

COVID-19 hospitalizations fell from 1,346 May 11 to 902 June 8. The number of daily COVID-19 hospitalizations also decreased from 85 May 8 to 44 June 1. ICU bed capacity has hovered between 37 and 42 percent, and ventilator capacity has remained steady at between 82 and 83 percent for more than two weeks. In addition, more than 650 contact tracers have been hired. But Box said counties such as LaGrange, which has seen a slight uptick in hospitalizations, should reopen with caution.

The state moved from Stage 1, which started March 24, to Stage 2 on May 4 and to Stage 3 on May 22. Holcomb said he is reluctant to predict whether the state will enter Stage 5 of the reopening plan before July 4, the initially scheduled date for the start of the fifth and final stage.

During Stage 5, social gatherings of up to 250 people will be allowed; restaurant dining rooms may open at 75 percent capacity; and bars and nightclubs may open at 50 percent capacity. Movie theaters and bowling centers can open at 50 percent capacity, along with amusement and water parks.

Community youth and adult recreational games, leagues and tournaments will be allowed to resume. But festivals, fairs, parades and carnivals won’t be permitted.

State officials underscored the importance of continued social distancing and sanitization efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“The data is what is guiding us,” Holcomb said. “We are not alone in this. And so when you look around the country, and you look at some states where the numbers are trending down in a very positive direction, like in the state of Indiana, other states that are trending up in the other direction, so you wonder what happened with the virus and how is it mutating, so there are too many factors to project (further) than four or five days.

“What I do think that this illustrates or underscores for me is we made the right decision early on to hit pause. We hit this hard at the outset, and we are in a better position today because of that.”

Grand Park, IUPUI release study findings news@currentinwestfield.com On June 3, Grand Park released the results of its “COVID-19: Return to Youth Sports” research study, which was conducted in partnership with the YOUTH SPORTS IUPUI Sports Innovation Institute.

More than 10,000 people in 45 states completed the study, which looked at perceptions and expectations of parents, athletes, coaches, officials and administrators in relation to youth sports amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cook The data will be used by facilities and event operators to ensure the families feel safe as youth sports resume.

“As we look to see youth sports reactivate across America, it is critical that we understand the mindset and expectations of those intimately involved,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook stated.

“To build confidence and ensure a safe return to sports, we need to know what is expected and how it aligns with health data.”

Grand Park Director William Knox said because Grand Park is the largest youth sports facility in the United States, it made

sense for it to lead the research with IUPUI. “In some cases, as we open back up, facility investments may or may not be expected. The information we have gleaned from this research is critical to event operators and organizations to create meaningful opportunities for athletes and their families to participate in sports again,” Knox said.

The study was led by David Pierce, the director of the IUPUI Sports Innovation Institute and an associate professor of sports management in the School of Health and Human Sciences at IUPUI. It assessed the feelings of parents, Knox athletes, coaches, officials and administrators toward 12 adaptions being considered and implemented by venues for restarting youth sports programs.

“COVID-19 has impacted all areas of life, and youth sports is no exception,” Pierce stated. “Our study’s results provide youth sports facilities and event operators with data on how specific adaptions are received by stakeholders who are looking to return to youth sports in a timely but safe manner.”

For the full report, visit grandparkresearch.org.

“As we look to see youth sports reactivate across America, it is critical that we understand the mindset and expectations of those intimately involved. To build confidence and ensure a safe return to sports, we need to know what is expected and how it aligns with health data.”

– Mayor Andy Cook

CRITICAL FINDINGS Study participants identified several critical or expected changes as youth sports reemerge amidst the pandemic, including: • Venues and events should invest heavily and visibly in sanitization of facilities, playing areas and equipment before, during and after events.

• Venue operators and event managers can feel confident that the recommendations provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Federation of State High School Associations to sanitize playing areas and equipment after each use will be well-received and welcomed by users.

• Promotion and monitoring of social distancing guidelines.

• Limiting personal contact between players.

• Limiting admission to those under age 65 with no underlying conditions.

• Completing a health and contact information questionnaire prior to entering venues by users is expected in order for youth sports to return during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Current in Westfield

www.currentinwestfield.com

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. On that subject, we surpassed $2.5 million in donated advertising space at the end of 2019 for all our markets, and we’re not stopping there. We’re honored to play that role.

Twenty-five dollars may not seem like a game changer to many in our midst, but it would make a huge, positive impact for Current in Westfield and its locally generated journalism.

Again, this purely is voluntary. To those inclined to participate, we sincerely thank you. To those who may wish to consider before doing so, the same. And to those who, for whatever reason, cannot participate, we understand and respect that and your contemplation.

In the meantime, we will continue doing what we started back in 2006, and that’s PROVING NEWSPAPERS WORK and seeing to it that Current in Westfield arrives uninterrupted in your mailboxes each week.

Thank you for your consideration, and we sincerely salute you for reading the local journalism Current in Westfield provides.

Alternatively, you may mail your check to Current Publishing 30 S. Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 • info@youarecurrent.com

Westfield team advances to innovation semifinals

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Emma Brashear is convinced her team’s project can have a positive impact on the community and the ACHIEVEMENT world.

Brashear is one of eight Westfield students who worked on a project called the Sporalizer, which detects disease-causing bacterial spores using a chemical wipe that creates a chemical reaction to make the disease-causing bacteria glow. Hospitals can use the product to clean.

“So many people die in hospitals of infections,” Brashear said. “This is revolutionary because now you can actually see the germs.”

The team, called the Golden Pandas, is one of 20 semifinalists advancing to the 10th Annual FIRST LEGO League Global Innovation Awards presented by Disney. Normally, the competition would be held in Orlando, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the team will participate in virtual workshops, showcase their solution and present to industry leaders and expert judges June 24-27. The winning team is awarded the top prize of $20,000 to continue to refine its invention. Two runners-up will earn $5,000.

The Golden Pandas are seeking a pro bono patent attorney for the project.

“The project requires you to find a real-world problem and develop a solution,” said Sara Heiliger, who shares coaching duties with Matt Burke.

The 20 semifinalists were chosen from 40,000 teams worldwide.

Heiliger said the group, ranging in age from 11 to 15, has been working on the project since August 2019.

There are two Westfield Middle School students and six home-schooled students on the team. The six home-schoolers attended the International C. diff, or Clostridioides difficile, conference in St. Louis in November 2019 to learn about existing solutions to hospital-acquired infections.

“We were inspired by a C. diff survivor story at the conference,” Layla Ouldnouri said. “We saw there was no detection method for it. We focused it on C. diff, but it can detect other bacteria.”

C. diff is a hospital-acquired and community-acquired infection that causes almost 500,000 infections in the U.S. each year.

Nominated teams research and identify a problem in their community and design a unique, viable and sustainable solution.

Teams must consider possible barriers to implementation, document the evaluation of their invention and validate their design with professionals working in STEM. The mission for this year’s CITY SHAPER season was to propose creative new ways to positively address a problem in a public space or building in a defined community.

Ouldnouri and Emma Brashear are the team’s oldest members at 15. This is the last year they are eligible for the competition, which is for U.S. students who are ages 9 to 14 when the school year begins.

Westfield architect creates book series for kids

Gary Vance’s bucket list has always included an ambition to write a children’s book about architecture.

AUTHOR “The goal of the book is to introduce architecture and design to school-aged children, K-12,” Vance said. “In addition, another goal is to connect with minority and underprivileged children who do not have opportunities to learn about architecture and design.”

The Westfield resident’s first book was “Kid Architect Goes To Columbus, Indiana.” It was published in September 2019. His second book, “Kid Architect Goes To Indiana,” is scheduled to be released June 16.

A 1977 Ball State College of Architecture graduate, Vance said Ball State students visited Columbus often to view its architecture.

“It was kind of a learning laboratory for us,” he said.

Columbus is rated the sixth-most important architectural city in the U.S. with more than 80 important architectural buildings.

“So, it was a natural first book for us,” Vance said. “Somehow, you have to strike

the itch in kids to become architects or designers. We’re going to have 10 percent less high school graduates 18 years from today than we had this year. So, our population is declining and we’re going to have trouble filling roles for architect, engineer, doctor and lawyer.

“We are trying to stimulate the interest of architecture in young people and help introduce it to them.”

Vance, who runs his own architecture firm, Vance Consulting, said another goal is to connect with minority and underprivileged children who do not have opportuni-

ties to learn about architecture and design.

The book is designed so readers can see themselves as the narrator during the exploration of architecture.

The book includes Carmel’s roundabout sculptures, Lucas Oil Stadium and Indiana University’s Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Vance has not decided on locations for a third book. All the books are hardcover.

Vance’s daughter, Elizabeth Wells, is a co-author and lives in Westfield. Wells is a former elementary school teacher.

“Elizabeth did all the STEAM pages and reviews all the content to make sure I’m writing things kids would understand,” he said.

Vance’s daughter-in-law, Lauren Vance, is the books’ graphic designer and lives in Brecksville, Ohio. Lauren is married to Vance’s son, Benjamin.

Vance’s wife, Denise, is the manager of the “Kid Architect” series and handles all of the logistical and financial aspects of the book series Vance said the first book took a year to create and the second took six months.

The books are available at Turn the Page, Westfield, Nickel Plate Arts, Noblesville, and at amazon.com and kidarchitectbook.com.

There are endless workout plans, programs and philosophies on the best way to become fit and healthy. The FITNESS truth of the matter is that there really isn’t a single-best approach for everyone. There are at least two key factors to keep in mind when selecting a path to better physical fitness.

What are your specific goals? Be it strength, physique, anxiety or depression relief, etc. decide why you are starting to train in the first place. The other factor is, what are you willing to do consistently? Consider the types of training and exercise that you find fun or interesting and will keep you coming back. The reasons will be as varied as the individuals who decide them. Once you’ve identified your reasons and motivations, you can better assess what programs or styles of training will be best for you. For example, if your goal is to improve overall strength, you probably won’t see the results you’re looking for by joining a high-intensity group kickboxing class. There’s certainly nothing wrong with such a class, but it wouldn’t address your specific needs.

However, for the person that really wants to burn some additional calories but hates the idea of running or lifting weights, it may be the perfect approach. It’s worth exploring your options, whether that’s weight training, running, rowing, jiu jitsu or even dancing. Find an activity that moves you toward your goal and that you will enjoy getting better at as you continue training.

Even the “perfect” routine or program is useless if you only do it once and never return to it again. These two points will be the deciding factors for anybody looking to

start or change their training regimen.

Another important consideration when choosing a workout program is its longevity. Are you able to consistently engage in this activity without unnecessarily risking the health of your joints? It is important to consider the level of injury risk involved in different training approaches. If you are so focused on the speed of completion or the amount of weight moved during training that you end up injuring yourself, you will be forced to stop training until you have recovered before you can continue. This is a time in which you could be making progress. That is why choosing approaches that allow you to focus on good form, improving muscular imbalances and increasing strength can be very useful as a long-term approach to training. Some increased risk may be inevitable for those looking to compete and are willing to accept the additional injury risks involved with pushing the limits of your physiology, especially in contact sports like football, soccer, basketball, etc.

Even within these sports you can use supplementary training to help reduce your risk of injury while competing in your sport and hopefully improve your performance as well.

It is easy to get caught up looking for the quickest or “best” approach to your fitness goals. But more important, look for those things you’ll actually stick with, because that is how you achieve the most dramatic results. It pays to play the long game when it comes to your physical well-being.

Where to look for help Commentary by Danielle Carey Tolan During the past months, as the COVID-19 pandemic has spread, so has the need for resources and emergency TOWNSHIP aid. Each new day brings changes, making it challenging to know where to reach out if you need assistance. Below are suggestions to assist you.

If you need help paying your bills While you may feel financially overwhelmed, the best option is always to face it head-on and make a plan. If you are struggling to pay your bills due to job reduction or loss, the best course of action is to call your lender or utility company. Do not ignore a bill.

Many lenders, utilities and other organizations are working with their customers.

Contact the company and explain your situation and they may be able to help.

Once you have exhausted all options, reach out to your local township trustee to discuss ways they can assist. Be proactive and have a plan to reduce stress and anxiety.

Basic necessities If you are unable to purchase food and

basic essential needs, you may be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Visit in.gov/fssa/dfr/2691. htm for eligibility.

If you don’t qualify for SNAP, there are other resources that can be provided by your township trustee.

Beware of scammers You must be careful to ensure you and your family members, especially the elderly, don’t fall prey to scams. Verify contact information with reputable sources, such as a company’s official website. Also, beware of giving any personal data that is requested via email.

Change of plans

Colts to conduct training camp at Indianapolis facility instead of Grand Park / P20

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, NFL fans who enjoy watching live practices and interacting with players took a hit when the league instructed all COVER STORY 32 teams to conduct training camps at their own facilities.

As a result, the Indianapolis Colts will conduct their training camp — which begins July 28 — at their headquarters at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center at 7001 W. 56th St. in Indianapolis instead of at Grand Park in Westfield, as was originally planned.

The team held its training camp at its headquarters in 2017 before entering a 10-year contract in 2018 to conduct camp at Grand Park.

“The decision was made by the NFL, so we are not alone. They obviously made the decision based on the COVID health emergency and social distancing and whatnot, but that was made at the league level a couple weeks ago and applies to all 32 teams,” said Steve CampCampbell bell, vice president of communications for the Colts. “I think all of us would prefer to be at Grand Park, quite frankly, because the people in Westfield, Mayor Cook and (Grand Park Director) William Knox and all the folks up there, they are among the best in the country at

doing what they do.

“They have one of the best facilities in the entire nation for sports and athletics, so we would much prefer to be at Grand Park with the fans and with the good people of Westfield.”

Campbell said interacting with fans at Grand Park is what the team and staff will miss the most.

“Westfield provides a top-notch, professional, worldclass staff who know what they’re doing, so we will certainly miss that partnership with the staff and with the people who run Westfield, but more than anything, we will miss the fan interaction,” Campbell said. “Training camp is generally a time for fans to come for free and watch practice and take part in Colts City and other Colts events and promotions and things like that.

“We are still making plans for how training camp will look at our facility, but we will miss the fan interaction so much.”

This would’ve been the third year the Colts would have conducted camp at the Westfield facility. But Knox said the city won’t suffer much of a financial impact.

“Because we were able to pull the trigger early on, we have not incurred any expenses related to training camp that we would normally incur,” Knox said. “We are still working through the minutiae of the agreements we had (with the Colts).

This is mandated by the NFL, and unfortunately, the Colts did not have a choice in the matter.

Knox “They are required to have practice at their home facilities. They were very excited and we were training up until the day before they got the information.”

Normally, the city receives revenue from concessions and parking. It won’t see that revenue this year, but Knox said the loss is balanced out by not having operating expenses.

“It’s not as much financial implications as it’s more Colts fans and the community probably loses out the most because it’s such a good event and we do it really well,” Knox said.

The Colts plan to return to Grand Park for training camp in 2021.

AN INVESTMENT IN GRAND PARK Despite not conducting its training camp at Grand Park this year, the Colts are investing in the Westfield sports campus.

The Colts have invested nearly $800,000 for an asphalt pad behind their two practice fields for Colts City and Play 60 programming. The city will be able to utilize the asphalt pad the rest of the year when it’s complete.

LETTER

Handy excuses

Support, don’t ridicule, during crisis

Commentary by Terry Anker We all have our shortcomings. Perhaps our third-grade teacher inadvertently led us to believe that we weren’t very good at coloring, and it stuck. Now, we break out in a cold sweat each time we are in one of those restaurants that have placemats designed to be filled in as we await the service of our food. Any children along at the table will be given crayons and urge us to participate.

Maybe our limitations are biological.

We couldn’t tell the size of a parallel parking spot without the assistance of thousands of dollars of sensor gear installed in our automobiles. Expensively, we misjudge the distance from the front of our car to the garage wall.

Whatever the origination, we learn to know and understand the bounds of what we can be expected to accomplish.

Good. Over-commitment leads to stress in us and disappointment in others.

Now, as all manner of plague seems to have descended on us, we have more debilitations and handicaps in completing our routines than ever in recent memory. Streets are closed. Curfews and other government orders capture us in home detention. Even spring storms seem to urge us to hit the snooze button in the morning and pull the covers over our heads. What could we hope to accomplish, anyway?

Having taken to online delivery and routine carryout, we have learned that some of us are able to adjust more handily than others. Many purveyors have stock delivered days before expected while some delay for weeks, then abruptly cancel. Most “help” desks now keep customers at bay for hours on end — all the while repeatedly lecturing us on their commitment to our health and popular social causes. What about customer service? Why do some overcome our legitimate challenges and others seem prone to hide behind any handy excuse?

Favoring my friendly flora family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It recently occurred to me that I might care more for my plants than I do my children. That sounds terrible and, HUMOR of course, it’s an exaggeration, but I’ve noticed that in the summer I much prefer weeding, watering and dead-heading my garden to cooking, cleaning and managing my offspring. What gives?

I think the main reason is that even though my kids are old enough to take care of themselves, they aren’t to the point where they can completely adult (verb), so there’s this weird dynamic happening in our house where I still want to enforce chores and curfews and they perpetually want to give me the finger.

Snapdragons and squash are far nicer to live with. They don’t roll their eyes or leave their cereal bowls on the coffee table. They don’t listen to “The Office” at high volume or constantly “borrow” cash for gas (like I’ll

ever see that money again). Sure, a tomato plant can’t tell me it loves me, but when it blossoms and a tiny green orb begins to grow, it’s basically the same thing.

I’ve also noticed that my garden floras are far better listeners than my precious little angels. Not once has a zinnia interrupted or a foxglove texted while I shared my innermost thoughts and concerns. And I’ve never experienced moments of awkward silence with my ferns or begonias. They seem happy just to have me near, gently pruning and fertilizing, unlike my heirs who flee as soon as I try to engage because they think I’m going to lecture them on laundry etiquette. Which I probably am.

That’s why I prefer my plants!

Peace out.

Snapdragons and squash are far nicer to live with. They don’t roll their eyes or leave their cereal bowls on the coffee table.

Editor, I have been on this planet for three quarters of a century. During this time, I have survived multiple heart attacks and three open-heart surgeries. Now, I begin each day buoyed by my faith and with a strong belief in the collective power of the American spirit.

Regardless of one’s political bent, it is time to believe in that spirit – the spirit that has served our country through wars, segregation, economic missteps, 9/11 and, of course, the most unimaginable ravage caused by disease, the pandemic of 2020.

As Americans, we have always had each other’s backs in these difficult times. Counting on our neighbors, friends and even strangers when faced with the most difficult of these challenges, Americans show their collective strengths and bravery in overcoming the most serious circumstances.

Today, we must keep our politics completely to ourselves. Believing in the country and upon the principles of our foundation are critical to our future.

It is time to support all of our elected representatives and for them to work together.

Tech firm announces corporate headquarters in Westfield news@currentinwestfield.com In a joint announcement with SEP, Mayor Andy Cook said that Westfield will be the new location for the firm’s corporate headquarters. SEP is a software product NEW BIZ design and development company. It has more than 140 employees and will expand its central Indiana operations to create up to 65 new jobs with an annual average employee income of $87,000 per year by the end of 2025.

The facility will be at the southeast quadrant of U.S. 31 and 161st Street.

“SEP is the kind of company that Westfield is trying to attract,” Cook stated. “It brings a workforce and wage that is desirable to any community. I am equally as excited about the intangibles. The innovation this team will bring to our community is unrivaled and The SEP Foundation contributes to the community-focused mindset we work hard to cultivate in Westfield.”

SEP plans to invest $2.6 million to build the new 70,000-square-foot headquarters on approximately 20 acres.

“SEP is ready to build our forever home, which is why we’ll be a 50/50 partner and owner with Pure Development to develop this special campus,” SEP President and CEO Raman Ohri stated. “It’s a unique opportunity to have an amazing facility overlooking a beautiful nature preserve, and we’d be honored to care for it for generations to come.

We’re committed to the community for the long haul, as an

investment and as a place to grow. Our employee owners will love Westfield’s outstanding school system, great outdoor experiences and growing downtown. We can’t wait to bring our amazing team to this great community.”

Construction is slated to begin in September, with a planned move-in date of December 2021.

SEP is an employee-owned company that heavily involves employees in decision-making, such as the selection of

workspace amenities and technologies. The new campus will overlook a nature preserve, and the company plans to establish walking trails and firepits near the pond.

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. has offered SEP up to $1,125,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. The credits are performance-based. The Westfield City Council will consider additional incentives at a later date.

Keep cool (and safe) in the pool Commentary by Cindy Love Pools are a wonderful way to cool off and have fun during the summer. However, the Centers for Disease Control CHILDREN and Prevention reports that drowning is the leading cause of death for children between age 1 and 4.

Make your pool safe Backyard pools should be surrounded by at least a 4-foot fence with a locked gate to prevent a child from entering a pool unattended. Consider a pool alarm to alert you if someone falls into the pool. Inflatable pools can pose a risk as a child can lean against the side and fall face-first into the pool.

Keep these pools drained unless an adult is supervising. If a child is missing, always check the pool first.

Use appropriate floatation devices If a child can’t swim, he or she needs to wear a floatation device to stay safe.

Life jackets or “puddle jumpers” are good options for children until they learn how to swim confidently. Inflatable “floaties” are not safe as they can deflate, or a child can slide them off on their own.

Start swim classes early It’s important for children to not fear the water and learn survival skills such as float-

ing and treading water. Swim lessons don’t ever replace supervision around water!

Plan for supervision Adult supervision is key to keeping children safe. Avoid being distracted by other activities, such as reading or a cellphone, even if a lifeguard is present. Children under age 5 should always be within “touch” supervision of an adult. If your child is going swimming with a friend’s family or babysitter, let them know about your child’s swimming abilities.

DISPATCHES IU Health easing visitor restrictions — Indiana University Health has begun relaxing some of the temporary visitor restrictions put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The revised guidelines allow for one visitor per patient, per day in inpatient areas. Each visitor will be screened and given a mask, which must be worn at all times inside the facility. Visitors must be 18 or older and will not be allowed for patients who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Visitors in emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient clinics and medical offices will be facilitated on a case-by-case basis depending on space and ability to maintain social distancing measures. IU Health has taken additional steps to ensure safety for patients, visitors and team members at each location. Providers and patient-facing team members always wear masks where patient care is provided.

Patients and visitors will also be required to wear masks, which are provided at no cost.

IU Health supports social distancing guidelines by redesigning spaces and displaying

six-foot distances wherever possible and is working to significantly decrease (or even eliminate) the time patients spend in waiting rooms. IU Health also has enhanced disinfecting procedures to ensure spaces and surfaces remain thoroughly clean throughout the day. For more, visit iuhealth.org.

Versiti has immediate need for blood donors — The need for blood donations has decreased the past few months as hospitals have focused on the treatment of COVID-19 patients. But the need for blood has quickly shifted as hospitals resume surgeries and anticipate trauma cases to increase as stay-at-home orders are relaxed in some communities. Versiti Blood Center of Indiana indicates a high need for donations of O-negative blood, the universal blood type used in trauma situations.

Carmel Film Forum will feature Stop Motion Animation presentation

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The fourth Carmel Film Forum will not only tackle a new subject but also a new format.

FILMMAKING Professional animator Lisa Barcy will be the featured presenter at the Stop Motion Animation Celebration webinar.

“She has a wonderful body of work,” said James E. Moriarty, founder of the event and Moriarty Media.

Barcy “She was going to do a hands-on workshop with us at the library, but because of COVID-19, it became virtual.”

The Carmel resident said the Film Forum was restructured so Barcy, from Chicago, can lead a free virtual webinar from 2 to 4 p.m. June 20 and 27. It will consist of two sessions, co-hosted by Moriarty Media and Carmel Clay Public Library’s Audiovisual Services Supervisor Sara O’Sha. Barcy will teach animation techniques employing drawing, paper cut-outs and 3-D objects at the first session.

“The Film Forum is all about getting your hands dirty and doing things,” Moriarty said. “We’re basically going to teach how to make animation from your cellphone.

This class is for beginners for Stop Motion and would be good for the animation-curious people in your life. You don’t know how to do all these techniques. We’re going to train from the get-go. We’ll teach drawing techniques.”

Participants will be encouraged to make an animated clip, using the techniques demonstrated, and upload the clips by June 25 to be judged. The winner will receive a license to a copy of the Dragonframe professional stop motion animation software, a $300 value.

“You don’t need to have sound. It doesn’t need to be fancy,” Moriarty said.

“You just have to apply things you’ve learned in the class.”

Barcy will announce the winner at the

June 27 session. All animated clips will have been edited into a musical montage for screening. The entire winning clip will be shown.

There will be a clip of Barcy’s work and a Q&A session with Barcy will follow.

“It’s nice to learn how people do things who can collaborate with you and you can learn from their process and how they’ve built up their body of work over the years,” Moriarty said. “Lisa has got a great sense of humor and I think people will really be attracted to it.”

Previous forum topics have included screenwriting, preproduction and the business of filmmaking.

“All of our forums have applied application to it and something interactive or hands-on about them,” Moriarty said.

“We’ve got through creating a film, writing and producing it, and we’ve come back around to we wanted to do something even younger people can participate in, so

we did animation. Next year we will probably do documentary. We find someone in the community to share their body of work and experiences.”

Participants can register at carmelclaylibrary.org/event/4314576. Moriarty said a CCPL card isn’t required. A webinar link will be emailed to the participant, along with a program/curriculum and a list of tools, software and supplies needed for the workshop. Seats for the webinar are free but limited.

“With the library and its help, these things can grow their circle of influence to get people to see filmmaking as an art form,” Moriarty said. “The tools are at your fingertips. All you need is a phone and an app.”

The Carmel Film Forum is sponsored by CCPL, the City of Carmel, Moriarty Media and the Indy Film Fest.

Barcy’s animation can be viewed at vimeo.com/418560545.

The time is now to engage Commentary from Jeffrey C. McDermott The crux of being a good person, a great community and a great nation is a sense of empathy and PALLADIUM duty to protect and lift up those in harm’s way. Recent events and nationwide protests demonstrate that COVID-19 is not the only “pandemic” we face. Systemic racism and injustice is an insidious virus that good people must work to eradicate.

The Center for the Performing Arts’ mission is to engage and inspire the central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. We are part of the fabric and spirit of this community and have a responsibility to take action and be part of the solution.

To that end, we are recommitting ourselves to our core values of Excellence, Integrity, Collaboration, Innovation and, in particular, Inclusion. As first steps, we will implement diversity training for our staff and volunteers and redouble our efforts to engage a broader audience that reflects all of central Indiana.

Music can be a catalyst for change.

It represents a peaceful way to speak up, to speak out and to heal. It knows no geographic, socioeconomic or racial boundaries. Since the dawn of humanity, music has told stories of strife and triumph, loss and love. We at the Center recognize our unique position to participate in the storytelling and the healing, and we will do so.

While no single one of us can rectify the inequality and discrimination embedded in our culture, we can and must act now, make positive differences, protect and lift people up, and keep our eyes and ears wide open. An inspiring quotation often attributed to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states, “If I cannot do great things, I can still do small things in a great way.”

The time is now for each of us to do just that.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14029 Mundy Dr., Fishers What to get: Lamb chops Price: $7.99 a pound Anna’s take: Some people may still be a bit nervous about venturing out to restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the good thing is, they can venture to Almadina International Halal Foods, a small grocery in northern Fishers, and purchase items to make an excellent meal at home. Almadina let me sample lamb chops, lamb shank, several fresh pastries and kufta, which is a ground mix of cilantro, onion, spices and lamb. My favorite was the lamb chops.

Almadina sources its lamb from a farm in North Vernon, so it’s very fresh. It also has an excellent price point at $7.99 a pound,

which is much more affordable than many other local spots. I browned the chops in a pan, then roasted them in the oven with rosemary, lemon, garlic and olive oil, and it was so rich and delicious. For someone who rarely cooks, using the high-quality meat from Almadina and an easy-to-follow recipe, I was able to cook something fit for an Easter dinner.

Suggested pairings: I grabbed a cabernet sauvignon from the grocery, but I think any dry red would pair well with lamb.

Behind bars: Golden Hour (banana daiquiri) Get it at Field Brewing, Westfield Ingredients: 2 oz. amber rum, .75 oz. fresh lime juice, .5 oz. banana sugar, .25 oz. banana liqueur, lemon wheel and lime peel for garnish Directions: Shake all ingredients for 30 seconds and double-strain through conical strainer into coupe.

Garnish with a thinly sliced lime wheel to float and lime peel expressed over drink and rubbed on rim. To make the banana sugar, use 1 bunch of ripe bananas with 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups hot water and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blueprint for Improvement: Elevated screened porch at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

THE SOLUTION 1. The upper-level deck, located off the kitchen, was removed and replaced with a custom screened porch. New footers were installed in the ground to accommodate the addition.

2. The porch was designed to blend seamlessly with the existing home. Considerations were made when planning the roofline and, of course, in selecting materials to complement what was already there.

3. Aluminum balusters were added to the screened porch to provide an attractive safety feature.

4. The ceiling beams were painted in a contrasting color to accentuate the design detail.

THE CHALLENGE Located a few steps from Geist Reservoir, the owners of this 1995 home wanted to create additional living space for enjoying the outdoors. The home had plenty of open deck space along the back of the house, so the homeowners wanted to add an elevated screened-in area for dining and relaxing.
