Elections Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson estimates that between 1.3 and 1.8 million Indiana residents will vote absentee-by-mail in the Nov. 3 general election.

As of Aug. 24, 99,146 requests for absentee ballots had been submitted, nearly double the 53,818 that were submitted for all of 2016, according to Lawson.

To submit an absentee-by-mail ballot, voters must request a ballot and qualify in one of 11 categories to have requests granted. Lawson encourages voters to file their votes as soon as possible.

Differences between absentee and in-person voting

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County Clerk Kathy Williams said the county already has more than 16,000 absentee ballot ELECTIONS applications as of Aug. 25.

Last year, the county had 11,000 total applications. Voters have until Oct. 22 to register for absentee voting.

Absentee voting: To vote absentee is to mail-in or drop off

your ballot to the Hamilton County Clerk’s Office. Williams encourages voters to apply prior to the deadline.

“If you wait until Oct. 22, it’s hard for (the U.S. Post Office) to guarantee mail both ways and be back here by Nov. 3,” Williams said.

Voters can apply now for absentee voting. Ballots will be mailed beginning Sept.

14.

However, not everyone is eligible to vote absentee.

“There are 11 reasons, and you have to fall into one of those categories to vote absentee,” Williams said. “In the primary, the governor ordered us to ignore those choices (and allow anyone to vote absentee), but now we are back to regular Indiana statute.”

For a full list of categories or to apply for absentee voting, visit in.gov/sos/elections/2402.htm.

In order to prevent fraud, Hamilton County’s system will not accept more than one application from the same person.

In-person voting: Williams said many people prefer to vote in person because as soon as their vote is tallied on Election Day, it counts.

The county will offer early voting at the judicial center and the county fairgrounds beginning 29 days prior to Nov. 3. Eight satellite locations will open for early voting two weeks prior to Nov. 3.

There are 124 precincts in Hamilton County, and voters are expected to vote in their regular precinct on Nov. 3.

“We thought this would be a pretty short time, maybe last four or six weeks,” Treinen said. “I was basing that on my manufacturing partners in Asia who were telling me that they were starting to reopen after six to eight weeks.”

But the COVID-19 resurgence and mask requirements have continued to increase the need for PPE. Treinen, whose suppliers are in the U.S. and Asia, said there are not enough manufacturers in the U.S. to keep open. An average hospital was going through 25,000 N95 masks per day, he said.

Treinen’s company has donated PPE products to Riley Hospital for Children and other

health care organizations. Treinen’s son, Michael, died at age 19 in 2008 following a battle with leukemia. The Michael Treinen Foundation, operated by Treinen and wife, Kelly, holds an annual Turkey Trot, a 5K run and family walk, on Thanksgiving morning.

“While there is a need, we are going to continue to help the supply chain,” Treinen said.

Benefits of online tutoring Commentary by Max Pavlovsky Have you ever considered hiring an online tutor for algebra, precalculus, AP calculus or AP statistics for your EDUCATION child but were skeptical since you had never tried it? Perhaps you’ve only experienced face-to-face tutoring. For many reasons, online tutoring could be a better option for your child, especially in this COVID-19 environment.

Here are several reasons to consider an online tutor: Convenience: Tutoring sessions can be scheduled to occur anytime or anywhere without worrying about transportation for your child to and from the library, school or coffee shop, thus saving the parent and the child time that would otherwise be wasted.

Personalization: The online tutor can work more closely with your child and be more available for last-minute or quick questions, such as might occur the night before a test when libraries and coffee shops are closed.

More engaging with technology: Kids are comfortable with using technology and always looking for the latest and greatest tools to accomplish the work they need to do.

Access to vast resources: An online tutor typically has knowledge of many online resources, such as websites that provide example problems, check solutions and provide interactive, hands-on activities. The online tutor can prescribe exactly the right tool for the student and train them on it.

Network: Online tutors network with other tutors and can collaborate to give your child the best possible tutoring experience.

Availability: Online tutors can be available any time of the day or night and are not limited to just one geographic location.

Efficiency: More tasks can be accomplished and less time wasted as typically happens in a face-to-face tutoring situation.

COVER STORY

Anthony Road residents express concern about potential development expansion

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Many residents on Anthony Road in northern Westfield have lived in their homes on the scenic stretch for several years.

Most moved to the area because of the spacious lots and picturesque views. Now, residents fear the rustic aesthetics will fade with the proposed NorthPoint II, an industrial development northeast of U.S. 31 and 196th Street featuring businesses such as Gordon Food Services, Bastian Solutions and Abbott Labs.

“My husband is fifth-generation Westfield, and our kids are sixth generation,” resident Melissa Hinshaw said. “We made a conscious choice to move out to this area 13 years ago, and at that time, the comprehensive plan had allocated this area for only rural and agricultural use.”

Residents on Anthony Road, which is north of Ind. 38, are Westfield Washington Township residents, not city residents.

Hinshaw said she feels as if WWT residents aren’t protected due to a 2018 interlocal agreement that allows the City of Westfield to oversee zoning in the township.

“When the city begins to infringe on the township, I thought ‘it’s time for someone to stand up and say no,’” Hinshaw said.

Anthony Road stretches between MacGregor Park and Bray Park, which were donated by longtime residents to preserve the aesthetics of the area.

“I feel like putting a warehouse between these two parks desecrates the generosity and the memories of these two families,” Hinshaw said.

Resident Tim Armstrong, who also lives on Anthony Road, uses his 3-acre property as a refuge for rescued alpacas, goats and a pig. His property is adjacent to the proposed NorthPoint II development northeast of Ind. 38 and Anthony Road.

“Where they want to develop NorthPoint II backs up to my entire yard and pasture,” Armstrong said.

A portion of Armstrong’s property has already been acquired by the city for construction of a new intersection at Anthony Road and Ind. 38 for the East Street expansion.

“We use those trees as privacy. Those

trees are now going to get wiped away,” Armstrong said. “When they do this intersection, there isn’t going to be any kind of sound barrier. We are losing a ton of trees.

We’ve rescued alpacas. It’s a hobby farm for us, and alpacas don’t really like a lot of

“EVERY BUSINESS OWNER LIVES SOMEWHERE” Jeremy Dearringer is a Westfield resident who lives on Anthony Road. He also owns New Pro Containers, which operates in an industrial park at Oak Ridge Road and 161st Street. Although he’s a business owner who works in an industrial park, he has concerns about the proposed NorthPoint II development.

“I look at it and think, ‘Is anything sacred?’ Are there any stopping points or

anything worth protecting? I’m a business owner, so I’m on both sides,” he said. “I built my own warehouse, but every business owner lives somewhere, too. If Westfield is trying to attract business owners and attract developments and businesses, well, one of the things that attracted us here was the home we got and this rural setting we wanted to move our family into.”

noise and activity. They’re used to a quiet environment, and it can stress them out and make them sick.”

So far, Anthony Road residents haven’t been contacted about the proposal, which is expected to be introduced to the Westfield City Council during its Sept. 8 meeting.

Hinshaw didn’t receive any communication from NorthPoint II developers until after the neighborhood meeting.

“We were told at that time, and for as long as we have lived here, that north of State Road 38 was off limits,” Hinshaw said.

“They didn’t want to bring utilities here, and they weren’t going to develop this land.

Anything north of State Road 38 is a hard stop. They’re doing the exact opposite of what they originally said they would be doing.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Terrible tomorrows

Shame on ISTA

Commentary by Terry Anker Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t, or so goes the proverb.

But what if we really, really don’t like the devil we know? Sending the subspecialty vegetable market into a tailspin, then-President George Herbert Walker Bush proclaimed offhandedly that broccoli was off the menu for his White House and its many affiliated functions.

It was that the stalky member of the cabbage family had long been in disfavor; and now that Bush had become master of the realm, it would be summarily banished.

Aside from wondering why one couldn’t simply eat around the offending plant matter, an inquiring mind would naturally consider what replaced it.

If there was no edict on substitution, could the eventual choice have been even worse? Or in the entire universe of emerald-colored side dishes, were all others preferred?

In the days when parents routinely made, at home, one family meal and we all ate it, substitutions were not generally looked upon with favor. “Your Mother took the time to make those carrots, now eat them.” It is unclear how the social contract required reciprocation but we did not question. Likewise, “Clean your plate because other children are starving” makes sense only if a 7-year-old is philosophical. Regardless, kids have declared, “I’d rather eat anything than that.”

Is it possible that we really meant it?

When faced with a discomfort, how do we moderate the inconvenience against a world of unknowns? Can we hope to predict the future, or are we justified in relying on the notion that a terrible, even worse, tomorrow must be better than what we believe to be terrible today?

Yes, there are good people Commentary by Danielle Wilson Things are looking up for the Wilson clan! My youngest has fully recovered from COVID-19 (without infecting any HUMOR of us, praise be), our collegians have safely returned to their respective campuses (at least for now), Doo’s midlife crisis seems to be abating (i.e., he has not purchased a Belizean catamaran) and my classroom banishment order is nearing an end. Most important, I’m feeling hopeful about life and the rest of 2020.

And I think the main reason for my newfound positivity, despite still dealing with some difficult stuff like my father’s terminal cancer, is realizing that most people, when it counts, are good. Here are a few individuals who helped change my attitude.

• The random health department worker who conducted the 45-minute COVID-19 interview used to collect data on Indiana’s outbreak. Toward the end of our call, she asked, “But how are you doing? Do you need anything? Food?

Transportation? Medicine?” Cue tears.

• A hardened Vietnam vet who dropped

off food as part of a meal train my sister organized. He brought homemade spaghetti, fresh bread, salad and dessert, but also shrimp cocktail, wine, vodka, coffee, flowers, candles and linen napkins. He wanted my parents to enjoy the perfect romantic dinner!

How thoughtful was that?

• And finally, the amazing faculty and staff at my school. I’ve had everyone from my hallway neighbors to the superintendent email or text to check on my daughter, offer to run errands or simply to give words of support.

They made me feel loved, even though they have much bigger things to worry about. Gulp.

So have faith, friends! There are good people in this world.

Peace out.

Editor, For those of you unaware, I’m the Libertarian candidate for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. Part of my campaign is general curiosity of how this whole election process works. It’s all about money on all ends. Except for mine.

I’ve been largely ignored by most organizations and individuals of whom I have actively courted their endorsement. I never received an opportunity for a the Win the Era endorsement, and anyone associated with that organization has ignored my repeated attempts to answer why I was left out.

After the Indiana State Teachers Association cited my lack of financial wealth as the main rationale for them not endorsing my candidacy, I just thought everyone should know the hypocrisy of endorsements. If anyone in this state can be the voice of public education, it’s a teacher, like me.

I’ve recruited new members to the ISTA. I’ve been a member of the ISTA’s Representative Assemblies, and on and on. How do they repay my loyalty? By telling me you don’t have enough money. No doubt, I’m a teacher. Ridiculous.

That being said, my individual fight for public education continues. Shame on you, ISTA. No wonder we are where we are as a profession.

Schools differ on face shields

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Face coverings have literally become the must-have fall accessory as students return to in-person classes, but PANDEMIC schools differ on which types to allow.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises against face shields in classrooms, but state and some county health officials allow them. As a result, policies regarding face coverings vary between districts. In Zionsville and Westfield, face masks must be worn with face shields.

In Noblesville, face shields may be worn in certain situations as long as social distancing is possible. In Carmel, students and teachers may choose between face masks and face shields.

Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said face shields can be “a good alternative for schools.” He said the CDC is primarily concerned with source control, or preventing spread from an infected person, which is why they advise against them.

Adalja said there are many benefits to face shields. He said they are much more likely to be worn correctly than face masks,

which can slip below the nose and are removed more often. Face shields also provide eye protection that masks cannot.

“Outside of a health care setting, a face shield is equivalent to how people effectively wear masks,” Adalja said.

Dr. Rocky Singh, chief medical officer of IU Health’s Indianapolis Suburban Region, said face masks are preferred in schools because many people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic.

“The best option is to cover the source of infection, and the source of infection doesn’t come from the eyes, it only comes out from the nose with sneezing or the mouth with coughing,” Singh said.

Christian Walker, Hamilton County Health Dept. emergency preparedness coordinator, acknowledged that face shields are “not as effective” as cloth masks in preventing the spread of COVID-19, but he said they are permitted because they are the best option in some classroom situations, such as with young students learning to read.

“We need to be able to make some reasonable accommodations for people,” Walker said. “That’s where social distancing also helps.”

ATI to hold Drive-In Theatre performances at shopping center lot in Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Actors Theatre of Indiana cofounders Don Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins have been brainstormEVENTS ing ways to perform in 2020.

ATI has canceled its 202021 season, which was scheduled to begin Sept. 4, due to the restrictions with the coronavirus pandemic.

In lieu of the regular season, ATI will hold a Drive-In Theatre from 7 to 9 p.m.

Sept. 18, Oct. 23 and Nov. 27 at the Monon Square Shopping Center in Carmel.

“We’re partnering with the city and they’re lending us their fancy stage,” Farrell said.

The sponsors are United Fidelity Bank, City of Carmel and Surroundings by Natureworks+.

“It’s going to be all social distance,” Farrell said. “Everyone will be in their cars and they will be spaced out. It’s going to be like a checkerboard.”

There is a limit of six people per car.

The first performance will include the cofounders. Terry Woods will be the music director. Tim Hunt (vocals), Greg Wolff (percussion) and Greg Gegogeine (bass) also will provide support.

“Terry was our musical director all the way back when we started in 2005, so he’ll be rejoining us on keyboards,” Farrell said. “The first performance will be songs that were in soundtracks from different movies, kind of keeping with the theme of drive-in movie theaters. We’re really excited about it being a time when the community can come together but social distancing. Everyone is in the safety of their own vehicle or they can bring their chairs. They have to be in the vicinity of their vehicles.”

Masks are required outside the car.

“We’re talking about frequency through radio as well,” Farrell said.

Farrell said the stage overhang should cover the performance area if there is a light rain.

Fishers Blues Fest Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 7 to 11 p.m. Sept. 4-5. Free.

Farrell said ATI is working on content for the Oct. 23 performance. The Nov. 27 performance will include holiday music.

Congregating around the parking lot and stage is not permitted. VIP tickets are $120, which includes priority parking, two ATI face masks and an appetizer coupon from Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel. Tickets in the pavilion area are $100 and $60 in the lawn area. For more, visit atistage.org. ’Alabama Story’ returns virtually ATI’s production of “Alabama Story” was the first for the play in Indiana, debuting in October 2019. A virtual stream of the production will be available from Sept. 27 to Oct. 10.

The show will start on the day of Banned Books Week, which celebrates the freedom to read.

“Alabama Story” tells the true story of an Alabama state senator trying to ban a children’s book about a black rabbit and white rabbit called “The Rabbits’ Wedding” because he believes it promotes integration and interracial marriage in 1959 in

Montgomery, Ala. A no-nonsense librarian, Emily Wheelock Reed, who was an Indiana University graduate, fights the censorship.

Farrell said there will be a virtual event Sept. 27 with the cast members, playwright Kenneth Jones and director Jane Unger. Farrell played the state senator and Collins played the librarian.

“We can answer people’s questions and talk about the play,” Farrell said. “People can watch that before we launch the stream of the archive (play). It’s going to be a wonderful night celebrating a great play. We’ll have a closing Oct. 10 where we’ll bring everyone back in again virtually.”

The play was filmed by Zach Rosing and Philip Paluso of Fishers-based Medium Cool Pictures. They shot some B-roll, extra footage to enhance the production, which will be spliced in.

The cost of the stream has not yet been set. It will be uploaded to a secure server, which can be shared all around the world.

“It’s kind of like a pay per view,” Farrell said.

For more, visit atistage.org.

Civic Theatre has announced it has canceled its season opener, Roald Dahl’s “Matilda The Musical,” due to concerns related to COVID-19.

“The increase of positive cases of COVID-19 in recent weeks and the absence of rapidly available testing, or contact tracing, make it impossible for us to reasonably ensure the safety of Lasley our performers, volunteers, staff and our dedicated patrons,” Executive Artistic Director Michael J. Lasley said in a video statement.

“Matilda The Musical” was scheduled to run Oct. 2-17. It had originally been scheduled to start April 24 before being postponed due to the pandemic.

Civic plans to present the remainder of the 2020-2021 season, starting with “Elf The Musical,” in December. Lasley said he hopes that it will be an in-person production, with proper safety protocols in place. More details will follow in the coming weeks.

“Your continued support makes the future of this 105-year old institution possible,” Lasley stated.

LEGAL NOTICE DUKE ENERGY INDIANA, LLC

The Walking Waffle Co.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: At several farmers markets in central Indiana, but I visited the Fishers Farmers Market location, 6 Municipal Dr. What to get: Walking Waffle Price: $5 Anna’s take: The Walking Waffle Co. sells

Liege waffles at several farmers markets in central Indiana, including the Noblesville Farmers Market, the Carmel Farmers Market and the Fishers Farmers Market. Markets are typically open Saturday mornings. The waffles are a buttery dough with tiny clusters of sugar. The waffles are $3.50 without toppings, or $5 with toppings. The Walking Waffle Co. offers a variety of toppings such as fruit, honey, nuts, whipped cream and cookie butter. You also can purchase sixpacks of waffles to take home. They are an excellent breakfast choice to enjoy as you wander through the markets, and usually there’s a coffee booth nearby to purchase a beverage. I’ll definitely miss markets when they close in the fall, so you can find me enjoying my weekly waffle while they’re still open.

Valley of the Nobles, near Luxor, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Touring the Valley of the Nobles Commentary by Don Knebel Most visitors to Egypt tour the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Far fewer even know about the TRAVEL Valley of the Nobles, which provides information about the world’s first monotheistic religion.

The Valley of the Nobles lies on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, the location of the New Kingdom capital known as Thebes. It includes 415 hillside tombs built to hold the mummies of important officials of New Kingdom pharaohs. Paintings on the tomb walls illustrate the lives and times of their occupants. For example, the tomb of Userhet, a scribe for Pharaoh Amenhotep II, shows a barber cutting hair beneath a tree.

Paintings on the walls of Ramose’s large colonnaded tomb reflect the short period of The Town of Westfield (130 Penn Street Westfield, IN 46074) is submitting an NOI letter to notify Hamilton County, Indiana and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management of our intent to comply with the requirements of the applicable Hamilton County stormwater management ordinances, as well as the requirements of 327 IAC 15-5 and 327 IAC 15-13, to discharge stormwater from construction activities for the following project: 161st and Union Intersection improvements at approximately the 1700 block of East 161st street in Westfield, Indiana 46074 at the intersection with Union Street.

The project includes construction of a multilane roundabout, drainage improvements, and realignment of the Natalie Wheeler trail. Run-off from the project site will discharge to Cool Creek.

Egyptian monotheism. Ramose began his career as a governor under Pharaoh Amenhotep III, whose name reflected his worship of Amun, then the most important Egyptian god. After Amenhotep III died in about 1350 B.C., Ramose continued working for his son, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV. Ramose’s tomb in the Valley of the Nobles was begun during the early years of Amenhotep’s reign, showing Ramose and his pharaoh among the traditional Egyptian gods. A few years into his reign, Amenhotep IV decreed that Aton, the sun disk, was the only god and changed his name to Akhenaten, reflecting his new devotion to Aton. As work continued on Ramose’s tomb, the paintings now showed only Aton. Akhenaten then moved his capital from Thebes to a new city named Akhetaton, 200 miles to the north. As a result, Ramose’s tomb in the Valley of the Nobles was never finished and he was interred in Akhetaton. Akhenaten’s son was originally named Tutankhaten but changed his name to Tutankhamun when, as pharaoh, he rejected his father’s reforms and returned to the worship of Amun and other traditional gods.
