State to remain in Stage 5, though cases, hospitalizations increase

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced during an Oct. 14 virtual press briefing that the state will remain in PANDEMIC Stage 5 of its reopening plan until at least Nov. 14.

He also extended the state’s mask mandate until the same date.

Holcomb made the announcements in the wake of a continuing rise of COVID-19 cases and related hospitalizations in Indiana.

Stage 5 dramatically eases restrictions on Holcomb businesses and public gatherings. When the state entered the fifth and final stage on Sept. 26, hospitalizations were fewer than 1,000 patients, and the state’s seven-day positivity rate had briefly dipped to 3.9 percent.

As of press time, COVID-19 hospitalizations increased to 1,357 patients, adding almost 400 patients in 10 days. The total is the most since spring, when as many as 1,799 patients were hospitalized. State health officials also expressed concern about the shrinking number of available ICU beds in some parts of the state.

In the seven days leading up to the Oct. 14 press conference, Indiana reported its most positive COVID-19 cases in a one-week time frame, including a single-day record of 1,937 cases on Oct. 9. As of press time, 3,609 Indiana residents had died of COVID-19, and another 227 are estimated to have died of the disease based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive tests are on record.

Holcomb said Hoosiers need to remain vigilant and continue to wear face coverings and practice social distancing, especially as temperatures drop and people spend more time indoors, which, according to health experts, promotes the spread of COVID-19.

“Stage 5 is not the stage when the check-

ered flag comes out,” Holcomb said. “Stage 5 is not an excuse for indifference or irresponsibility. Just the opposite.”

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box announced Oct. 14 that she has tested positive for COVID-19. She said her daughter and grandchild also tested positive and planned to quarantine. State officials said Holcomb, members of the governor’s office and staff at the Indiana State Dept. of Health would be tested for the virus. Contact tracers attempted to contact anyone who came into contact with Box prior to her positive test.

Box Box has warned that close-contact gatherings such as weddings and funerals can increase the likelihood of contracting the disease. Holcomb said statewide contact tracing efforts have shown such events to be problematic but that further capacity limits are not necessary at this time.

“Those events are the very events that turn out to be big contributors to our positive cases and illnesses,” Holcomb said. “It’s these events that have nothing to do with a 500 (-person) capacity limit. Tracing is proving that. We are proving that you can go to a Colts game or a soccer game or school or go shopping, and you can do it safely.

“The numbers have everything to do with how many of us are or aren’t letting our guards down, even at smaller events and medium sized and bigger events, where safety protocols are not put into place or practiced or reinforced.”

Holcomb, a Republican seeking reelection against Democratic challenger Dr. Woody Myers, stopped short of moving the state back to a prior stage of its reopening plan and implementing capacity limits on public gatherings and businesses. Indiana Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane (D-Anderson) said continuing in Stage 5 is a mistake.

“Indiana is in the midst of an uncontrolled and frightening spread of COVID-19,” Lanane stated. “Yet, this dire situation was completely avoidable. Just last week, I pleaded with the governor to rethink his drastic reopening before the coronavirus surge worsened even more. Now, we find ourselves with record numbers of COVID-19 cases day after day.”

Lanane criticized Holcomb for not aggressively enforcing mandates on face coverings and gatherings.

“He encourages Hoosiers to not attend large gatherings, but yet he has placed no restrictions on such events,” Lanane stated.

“His message is inconsistent, and Hoosiers know that he is not serious. The governor keeps saying that stopping the spread is up to personal responsibility, yet when folks’ irresponsibility hurts others, the government must act. My question is this: What is preventing the governor from putting smart restrictions and enforcement in place to save Hoosier lives? What is he afraid of?

Is he truly letting a pending election sway how he responds to a public health crisis?

“Nothing about what the governor’s administration is doing right now is based in science or data. We don’t have much time to act before hospitals are literally overrun or deaths start to skyrocket.”

“The numbers have everything to do with how many of us are or aren’t letting our guards down, even at smaller events and medium sized and bigger events, where safety protocols are not put into place or practiced or reinforced.”

84 dwellings proposed near Shelborne, 146th

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Up to 84 single- and two-family homes are proposed on 37 acres on the southeast corner of 146th Street and Shelborne Road.

DEVELOPMENT Indianapolis-based Logan Group is seeking to rezone the vacant land from S-1 Residential to a planned unit development, which allows for a variety of uses on the site.

Known as Albany Village, the single-family homes are planned along the eastern and southern property lines with the two-family attached villas along the western perimeter.

The homes are expected to start in the mid-$400,000s, with the villas starting in the mid-$300,000s.

The site is surrounded by the Tallyns Ridge subdivision to the east, the Trails at Hayden Run subdivision to the southeast, the Albany Place subdivision to the south and a single-family home to the west across Shelborne Road. The land to the north is in the City of Westfield, with a portion of it being developed as a Del Webb community by Pulte Homes.

The site is designated on the Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Plan map as “very low density.” Developers believe the proposed neighborhood is a good fit because of the surrounding uses and its proximity to 146th Street, which has become a major east/west traffic corridor.

The Carmel Technical Advisory Committee is set to review the proposal at its 9 a.m. virtual meeting Oct. 21.

Coalition of Stakeholders and Teachers (COST) supports a change in Westfield School Leadership • School Budget 2016 was $ 81,632,510 and has grown to $ 115,903,000, an increase of 41%.

• Enrollment has grown an average of 2.5% per year, so where has the money gone? Not to teachers or to classrooms. Central office overhead and non-classroom expenses have increased over 100% since the last operating referendum was voted upon. WHY? • The culture of our schools has been impacted by intimidation of our teachers who speak out on how to best teach our children. Please go to the survey link and see the results of an independent confidential teacher survey, http://ghfwlaw.com/survey.asp. We must change the environment our teachers work in.

• We need to stop the abuse of “Executive Sessions” by the Superintendent and School Board.

• We need to stop the loss of top-rated school Principals.

• We need to cut up the credit cards current school leaders are maxing out and get the yes voters off the board.

• Assessed Land value has gone up almost $ 2 Billion dollars since 2016, but the school tax rate has not been reduced. Tax Rate per $ 100 went up 47% with the 2017 Referendum. We all want to invest in our children and schools, but we want it done wisely.

• We need a board that represents the community and not the Superintendent.

• Central Office will text, email, and call school parents if a bus is late, or school closed, but buries a 2-inch notice for a $ 66,000,000 school lease in an out of area paper and calls that proper notice. We need honest school leadership that can be trusted.

• We have a new school swimming pool based on a partnership with the YMCA, but who is paying the bills?

Please vote for a new school board that will hold the Superintendent accountable for financial responsibility, teacher work environment, and open meetings.

Financial information was researched and provided from public websites for the City of Westfield, Indiana Department of Education, Westfield Schools, and Hamilton County Auditor’s office.

Million Meal Marathon changes course

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The 10th annual Million Meal Marathon will be more akin to a collection of 1-mile fun runs this year.

GIVING BACK The event is normally held in one day during approximately 11 hours at Lucas Oil Stadium. Because of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year it will stretch from Oct. 13 to Nov. 7 at the Million Meal Movement Warehouse at 9250 Corporation Dr. in Indianapolis.

Carmel resident Nancy Hintz and her husband, Dan, co-founded Million Meal Movement, a nonprofit, in 2007. The Million Meal Marathon is the nonprofit’s signature event, but there are other events held throughout the year.

“Usually, we would have two to three thousand people that would come through the course of a day and help package dry ingredients into a plastic bag, a rice soy casserole meal people would be able to cook up,” Hintz said. “With COVID, we wanted to keep everyone safe, so we have about 40 different shifts of small groups of 25 or less throughout the course of a month where families or companies can package food.”

Hintz said everyone wears masks and gloves and keeps 6 to 8 feet apart instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder as in the past.

“We are trying to meet the tremendous need that has (resulted from) COVID,” Hintz said. “There is just an unprecedented demand out there.”

Hintz said the event has added a new meal of macaroni and cheese.

“We worked with a dietitian at Gleaners Food Bank to come up with a macaroni and

cheese that was also nutritious,” Hintz said.

“It has lower sodium. It has enriched calcium and Vitamin D. Our understanding from our partners is the demand for food has increased two to three times.”

All the food goes to the food banks and pantries throughout Indiana.

Two thousand volunteers are needed as well as monetary donations to cover the cost of ingredients. Every dollar provides four meals. To donate, visit bit.ly/ millionmealmovement.

Weekly packs will be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, with three available shifts daily. Two weekend packs also will be held to accommodate families and small groups. Cost to participate is $30 for individuals and $100 for families of up to five.

“That covers the cost of ingredients of the food they are packing,” Hintz said. “The marathon is mostly driven through corporate sponsorship.”

To volunteer, visit bit.ly/marathonpack.

A RUSTIC BARN WEDDING

Sheridan family offers drive-thru barn for Halloween fun

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Halloween has always been Andrea Carey’s favorite holiday.

“October is my favorite month,” the 2017 Westfield High School graduate said. “I love fall.”

Carey recently married her husband, Spencer, in a barn on their Sheridan property, and she wants to eventually use the space as a wedding and events venue. She thought a great way to test the idea was to have a Halloween drive-thru open to the public, which will be the first event outside of the Careys’ wedding at the barn. Families will be able to drive through the exhibit from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Oct. 23-24 and Oct. 29-31.

Admission will be $10 per carload.

Two barns will be decorated in a family friendly way. Families will enter the property at 2060 W. 291st St., Sheridan, and follow the signs to drive through the first barn, which will be Disney themed.

“It’ll be for younger kids,” Carey said.

“There will be decorations for ‘The Jungle Book,’ ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Frozen’ and just different Disney characters.”

Visitors will pass by a cemetery display and drive through a second barn, which will have spookier decorations such as Frankenstein and skeletons. They will then exit through the driveway.

Carey plans to dress up as a Disney Princess, and several members of her family also will be in costume. Her mother plans to dress as Ursula, and her father may dress up as King Triton.

Most of the decorations for the event came from garage sales. The cemetery decorations came from Carey’s grandmother.

“She did a huge production every year and it just became too much work, so she’s letting us borrow it,” she said.

Carey thought about offering a Halloween drive-thru since September. Originally, she wanted to decorate the barn as a haunted house people could walk through, but COVID-19 ruined those plans, so she decided to keep families in their cars instead.

“We started buying stuff and putting it all together last weekend,” she said. “It took a long time to organize which barn the decorations would go in, and where in the property we would set it up. I can finally see it in my head. My mom can always envision things and say, ‘That’ll look perfect there,’ and I don’t have that. Now, as things are coming up, I can see it in my head.”

Carey, who attends nursing school at IU Kokomo, said the decorating has turned into a full-time job on weekends. There also will be a pet cemetery and dancing witches.

At the end of the drive-thru, Carey wants to find a way to distribute candy while being COVID-19 conscious.

“We would like to, but it’s still up for debate,” she said.

Sheridan resident Andrea Carey wants to eventually use her barns for her business, Our Barn.

“Spencer’s sisters both got married in a family barn, and I always thought it would be a good business — rustic barn weddings,” she said. “We had this barn on the property and I fell in love with it.

It’s so beautiful, and I thought it would be perfect for people to get married here or have a party and rent a couple levels.”

The barn has five levels. The Carey’s home property is 10 acres. They farm 70 surrounding acres. Spencer Carey is a farmer with the family farm, Carey and Sons, which grows corn and soybeans.

The Careys moved to the property in April. They were married Aug. 1.

“We bought most everything (for our wedding) instead of renting it, so now we own it,” Carey said. “My dad made the tables, and we bought all different wooden chairs, all the light fixtures, all the plates and mason jars. We have like 300 Mason jars. My colors were sage and blush, and we have some stuff left over with a few colors, so people who get married here can choose from those or bring their own to decorate.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Human thought

Support Spartz

Commentary by Terry Anker What does it mean to be human? Is it the notion of a physical or corporeal being? Is it the form and shape of our chromosomal spiral? Is it that we are distinctly less hairy than our ape cousins in Rwanda? There are countless, readily identifiable characteristics that distinguish us from myriad other lifeforms similarly bound to this spinning blue ball that we all call home. Still, we are, perhaps because of the necessities of the planet, remarkably similar. We breath oxygen-rich air. We thrive in a narrow band of temperature variation.

We eat, process calories and produce waste. Many of us have hinged limbs and brains protected in a skull. To a distant observer, we might not be that different from goat to person.

Still, these top-of-the-food-chain creatures, we humans, have long imagined and queried what is it, if anything, that makes us distinct. Do we have a soul, imbued by a creator? In the fourth century, theologian Augustine of Hippo claimed the individual human right to eternal salvation. Or, is our advanced sentient thought, as exhibited by complex interpersonal communication, sufficient for us to hold ourselves out as unique, special?

Cogito, ergo sum. Seventeenth-century French philosopher Rene Descartes held that because we humans could think, and then prove it, that we are special and distinctive from other beings.

Any first-year law student should be able to amply describe the principal of negative implication. That is, that some things are best defined by what they are not. What is it to be human?

It is not to be inanimate. It is not to be inorganic. Good. But can we be human if we lack thought? Can we be human if we lack civility? Can we be human if we lack faith, compassion or free will?

Sweet dreams are made of this Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, I am sitting on the screened-in porch of a second-floor condo overlooking a large bay of water, name HUMOR unknown, somewhere near Fort Myers, Fla. And no, I’m not dreaming.

My husband Doo and I had planned this fall break trip way back in January, wanting to take advantage of his company’s rental place in Florida and my school district’s week off in October. Of course, we’d organized several vacations for 2020, all of which were canceled due to the apocalypse.

But we were determined to salvage at least one slice of heaven and decided to drive the 16-plus hours to finally gain a little rest and relaxation in this dumpster of a year.

We arrived last night. I awoke at 4:30 a.m., having already slept nine hours, then went back to sleep for another two. The sun is just now rising, and the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle lapping of waves.

I am alone, as Doo is still in bed, but have a hot cup of coffee and phone Sudoku to keep me company. Alhough the temperature is already in the mid-80s, with equally high humidity, I feel content in a way that I haven’t since spring. I’m finding it easy to block thoughts of the election and COVID-19 and almost as easy to recall memories of my dad, who passed away in September. There is less pain there.

Is it the ocean healing my heart? The quiet morning? Maybe the hope inspired by these next few days of downtime in a semi-tropical rental? Does it matter?

If I am dreaming, please don’t pinch me.

This one’s too good.

Peace out.

I’m finding it easy to block thoughts of the election and COVID-19 and almost as easy to recall memories of my dad, who passed away in September. There is less pain there.

Editor, When Victoria Spartz won her seat in the Indiana Senate via caucus vote, I was against her. First, a friend of mine was also running, and second, I knew nothing about her except that she wasn’t born in the U.S. I was a prejudiced, ignorant fool.

Abraham Lincoln said, “I do not like that man; I must get to know him better.” When I actually met Victoria, I discovered what an articulate, intelligent and impressive champion of freedom she is. Her history in socialist Ukraine had inspired her to fight for life, liberty and private property like few people I’ve met. Her achievements in business and agriculture equipped her well for leadership. Her understanding of how government works and what was best for her constituents made me proud that she was my senator.

It’s rare to find someone of Victoria Spartz’s caliber running for office. She has my full support.

Caleb Blair, Noblesville

READER’S VIEW

Vote Susan Byer for treasurer Editor, I am asking the voters in Hamilton County to vote for the Republican candidate for Hamilton County treasurer, Susan Byer. As a 17-year employee (16 of those years as the chief bookkeeper), my support is 100 percent behind Susan.

I worked with Susan in the Treasurer’s Office for 13 years, and during that time, she worked at the front counter posting tax payments, receipting money in from other county offices, processed liquor licenses, mobile home transfers, bankruptcies and lender files. She handled all of those job duties with great attention to detail and always had a sincere rapport with the public. I and many others in the county trust Susan to take on the job as treasurer because she is honest, smart, detail-oriented and has character.

Susan is the only candidate that can, if elected, go into the office on Day 1 and do all of the daily functions of the office necessary to assist taxpayers and other county offices.

As a current and longtime employee of the treasurer’s office, I am asking the voters of Hamilton County to please vote for Susan Byer for Hamilton County treasurer on or before Nov. 3.

VIEWS READERS’ VIEWS

Vote for Spartz Editor, Since 2016, Democrats have complained that President Trump violates our country’s democratic norms. Yet, in the name of defeating him, Democrats are scheming to pack the Supreme Court, add Washington, D.C, and Puerto Rico as states (reliable Democratic party constituents) and vowing to abolish the Electoral College (meaning California, where they haven’t quite mastered electricity, will decide every presidential election). Not only do these proposed actions violate America’s norms, they are naked power grabs.

I hope on Nov. 3, voters in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District remember that a vote for Christina Hale is a vote for transforming the country in a way that exclusively benefits the Democratic Party, not U.S. citizens. I am voting for Victoria Spartz because I know that she, having seen socialism up close, will focus on what is best for America and her Indiana constituents, not on what is best for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Susan Yates, Indianapolis (Geist)

Cast your ballot for Byer Editor, I’m writing to urge Hamilton County voters to cast your ballots on or before Nov. 3.

As you choose your candidates, I respectfully ask you to consider Susan Byer for treasurer.

I have been a bookkeeper for the county for 22 years, and 15 of those are in the treasurer’s office. I have worked with Susan personally and can attest to her work ethic, character, integrity and intelligence. She is detail-oriented and accurate. Her customer service has always been outstanding.

Susan has a hardworking and knowledgeable team behind her and is perfectly capable of running the office on Day 1, not only efficiently but with caring compassion.

She will treat her employees and other departments fairly and politely.

I look forward to her leadership in office.

Please join me in voting Susan Byer for treasurer.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury.

For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Elaina Ededuwa, a former multi-sport athlete at Hamilton Southeastern High School from 2012-2016 and women’s basketball player at Indiana Wesleyan University from 2016-2020, had some unfortunate breaks along the way. Methodist Sports Medicine was there to get her back in the game each time. The daughter of E and Linda Ededuwa of Fishers, Elaina Elaina Ededuwa, former was a volleyball, basketball, and track & field athlete at HSE. In January 2015, she suffered a basketball player at tear of her left anterior cruciate ligament while playing basketball and underwent surgery for an Indiana Wesleyan University.

ACL reconstruction by Dr. Peter Maiers. She worked diligently to rehab and returned to highlevel competition.

On Jul. 5, Elaina returned to the court to play in her first game since her injury in an AAU tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the second half, she went up for a rebound, and when she came down, she was hit in the knee, suffering a contact injury that re-tore her ACL. Elaina worked hard in rehab once again, fully recovered, and amazingly went on to play at the collegiate level with the Indiana Wesleyan University Women’s Basketball team. She was just about to complete a successful collegiate career when injury struck again.

During basketball practice on Dec. 13, Elaina set a screen, rolled to the basket, and took a hit to the side of her knee, bending it in the wrong direction. She immediately knew she tore her ACL; this time, it was her right knee. She visited with Dr. Maiers the next morning. The diagnosis: right ACL tear, partial MCL tear, sprain of the lateral collateral ligament, tear of the lateral meniscus, along with a left knee lateral meniscus tear. Although heartbroken, Elaina cheered her team on that night at IWU and then boarded a flight to Arizona to cheer her team on from the sideline at their holiday tournament. Dr. Maiers performed surgery on both knees on Dec. 27, and she again battled back to a complete recovery. Today, Elaina is an Indiana Wesleyan graduate with three degrees, lives in Florida, and has been offered an opportunity to continue her basketball career in Europe.

WHY MSM: “My family and I chose Methodist Sports Medicine after my first injury because we trusted the sports medicine team at Hamilton Southeastern, and MSM is where HSE sent me. After that, it wasn’t even a question for the second and third injuries to go back to MSM because they felt like family. I knew they cared about me, and I cared about them. We both had the same goal; getting me healthy in the best way possible. Honestly, if I ever need orthopedic care again, I would probably fly home from Florida and see Dr. Maiers and the MSM team because that’s how much I value and appreciate all of the care and treatment I have received.” - Elaina Ededuwa

THE JOURNEY: “We never had to push Elaina to work harder. She gave an all-out effort with each exercise, and rehab session. We had more concern with holding her back and not letting her do too much too soon. Melissa Schnepp PTA, ATC was crucial to her recovery during her first two surgeries. Working closely as a rehab team allows us to problem solve together and pick up on deficits that the other may not see. Being able to communicate efficiently with Dr. Maiers and his clinical staff allowed for proper progression of Elaina’s rehabilitation.”

- Nate Mejeur, PT, DPT - Methodist Sports Medicine

Dr. Peter Maiers

“My career has been far from perfect, but it’s allowed me to put myself in situations to grow both on and off the court, create friendships that will last my entire life, and push my mental and physical toughness to levels I would never have thought I could.”

- Elaina Ededuwa THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Peter Maiers, Sports Fellowship Trained with Hip and Knee Specialty, Nate Mejeur, Physical Therapist, and Melissa Schnepp, dual Certified as an Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapy Assistant.

If you had to choose one food to live on for the rest of your life, what would it be? I provide this question as a pubHUMOR lic service for those in longterm relationships who are pretty much stuck at home and desperately need something to debate.

I asked my wife for her response, and she said I had to give my choice first. That sounded like a trap, but I replied, “OK, Mary Ellen, if I had to pick one thing, I’d say your delicious chicken piccata.”

“So, what you are saying is you don’t like my chicken marsala?”

See what I mean?

A decade ago, this question was easy for Chris Voight, an unrepentant spud lover who at the time was the executive director of the Washington State Potato Commission. Chris decided to put his money where his mouth is … as opposed to his hero, Mr. Potato Head, whose mouth Chris could put where his nose is.

Chris was unhappy with the local school district’s decision to cut fattening foods from the lunch menu, so he pledged to eat nothing but taters for 60 days. No sour

cream, no bacon bits — not even on the side. Just potatoes. He ate approximately 1,200 of them in two months. Chris needed some kind of libation, so he opted for a beer made from potatoes. Yes, Chris, this spud’s for you.

Doctors supervised his two-month regimen. Their biggest concern was the lack of essential fatty acids in the diet. Chris agreed to downing several servings of French fries every day, and he got a kick out of being asked at the drive-thru, “Do you

Just potatoes.

and full of empty calories. On this last point, there is some spirited disagreement, one of many wedge issues Chris had to deal with. Chris claims he lost 20 pounds on the potato diet, but I suspect that’s because he finally put down the sack of potatoes the last time he weighed himself.

Chris still dines on the simple baked potato, the twice-baked potato, and the yummy thrice-baked potato. Also, cottage fries, mashed potatoes, potato pancakes, gnocchi and tater tots. Has Chris gone a bit over the edge in enthusiasm for potatoes? “I just don’t want people to take the potato for gratin.” Yeah, that’s the way he talks now.

Chris is considering eating raw potatoes, which apparently have some additional health benefits but lack the classic taste we all enjoy. His wife suggested splitting the difference and cooking them just a little. Said Chris: “It’s just another one of her half-baked ideas.”

“There are lots of myths about potatoes,” Chris said. For example, the conventional thinking is that potatoes are very fattening

WWS offers COVID-19 dashboard news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield Washington Schools now offers an online COVID-19 dashboard to be transparent regarding the PANDEMIC spread of COVID-19 within the schools.

An email from the district to WWS parents stated: “We are taking the safety, welfare and education of every child very seriously and we absolutely know that you are, too.

So, we are providing you with a dashboard, displaying the latest information on COVID-19 cases within Westfield Washington Schools as well as a weekly breakdown by school.”

The email states that although positive

cases is an important number, additional factors regarding learning-model decisions include staffing needs and abilities, operations management, transportation readiness, Indiana State Health Dept. guidance, Hamilton County Health Dept. guidance, Gov. Eric Holcomb’s guidance, contact tracing capabilities, building population and abilities to facilitate social distancing are additional factors used to make district decisions.

As of press time, the dashboard showed there were 20 total cases for the school year, with four new cases from Sept. 27 to Oct. 1. New quarantines were at 78 from Sept. 27 to Oct. 1.

DISPATCHES Gluten in skin care — Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity need to pay attention to the ingredient lists on their skin care products. If any of the ingredients contain gluten, the skin can absorb it and cause a reaction. Some ingredients to avoid include avena sativa (oats), barley, wheat, samino peptide, triticum, xanthan gum and dextrins.

Eye pain relief — When something small and abrasive gets in your eye — such as a piece of sand or dirt whipped up by the wind -- the last thing you want to do is rub it against your fragile cornea. Try this instead - grab a facial tissue. With one hand, pull your lashes so that the upper lid is away from your eye. With the other hand holding the tissue, gently blow your nose three times. The pressure should make that foreign object fly away.

The show is going to showcase those professionals just like an art gallery would. We are going to dedicate (the time) between shows to the Herron School of Art and Design.”

Hockman said they plan to reach out to Carmel, Westfield and Zionsville high schools to see if they have top senior artists who would like to do a show for a week.

Michael Hockman and Matt Carrel found they had similar philosophies in working together for more than two NEW BIZ years.

“We like similar things. We like the same kind of art,” Hockman said.

“Our ideas of what a tattoo shop should be are very similar, and how we treat clientele are spot-on the same. We’re just trying to bring a new level of tattooing to Carmel.”

On July 29, the co-owners opened Forever Gallery Tattoo, a custom tattoo studio that will feature art shows, in Carmel City Center’s Nash Building, 858 S. Range Line Rd. “We are running an art gallery in the space and hoping to rotate shows every four to six weeks, so there is always something new on the walls,” Carrel said.

Carrel, 42, a Zionsville resident, and Hockman, 43, a Westfield resident, previously worked together at a Carmel tattoo studio.

Hockman said the idea of combining an art gallery and tattoo studio is a new concept.

ATI Drive-In Theatre features music of Indiana composing legends

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell figures Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael are a winning combination MUSIC on any stage.

“We’re thrilled with highlighting and honoring two of Indiana’s great composers and lyricists,” Farrell said. “You can’t go wrong with their music.”

The ATI Drive-In Theatre show, “Cole with a side of Hoagy,” is set for 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Monon Square Shopping Center in Carmel.

Farrell will be joined by fellow ATI co-founders Cynthia Collins and Judy Fitzgerald.

The show will feature timeless classics, including Porter’s “You’re the Top” to Carmichael’s “Stardust.”

“For me, ‘Night and Day’ is one of my favorite Cole Porter tunes,” Farrell said. “There are so many to choose from. He’s very witty. There were so many of Hoagy Carmichael’s songs that were great, too, like ‘Stardust,’ which is one of his most famous.

That will be in the show. The show works well with the Great American Songbook and Indiana Pride.”

Collins said one of her favorite songs is Carmichael’s “I Walk With Music.”

This will be the second ATI Drive-In Theatre. The first was Sept. 18, with the ATI trio paying tribute to songs from movies.

“The first concert we felt was a huge success,” Farrell said. “We had responses from patrons that have been overwhelmingly positive. The only criticism was someone in their vehicle wasn’t able to hear. I don’t think we did a good enough job of informing them we had a frequency people could listen on the radio in the safety of their own vehicles. We are going to have some additional signage and make it clear what radio station they can turn their frequency to hear a mix.

“We had a mix from our PA system that was going on and for those that wanted to stay in the car, we had a special audio mix

Farrell said they also are working with the projection screens to help those parked farther away see better.

“There are always challenges when we take on something new,” Collins said.

“But we are fortunate to have some very talented designers who make our job as performers easier. The drive-in concept worked well for us. Our patrons had a ball. Everyone was happy to be out safely enjoying a live performance. There is nothing like performing live.”

Farrell said the production was smooth for a first time.

“It went without a hitch,” he said. “It was a true joy to see people following the safety protocol and wearing the masks and staying within vicinity of

their vehicles. Everybody was doing a great job of looking out for each other and themselves by doing that. It was the same thing with our production staff and artists.

“We didn’t take off our masks until we actually hit the stage and (were) in our own socially distanced space.”

Farrell said sales are strong for the second show.

“Last time, we were at 85 percent paid capacity for what we had to offer,” Farrell said.

Randy Sorrell will serve as emcee. Terry Woods and his band will perform with the ATI trio. A third Drive-In Theatre performance is set for Nov. 27 at Monon Square Shopping Center.

Kincaid’s Meat Market

317.867.0900 A porterhouse steak with a side of broccolini.

(Photo by Anna Skinner)

($24.99 a pound) for 3 minutes on each side with some olive oil and salt and pepper. I put the pan in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. After removing the pan from the oven (don’t burn yourself like I did), let the steak sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.

In the meantime, I sauteed some broccolini ($4.99) with lemon juice, olive oil, onions and garlic.

An important note: If you are not an expert at preparing whatever items you select at Kincaid’s, don’t be afraid to ask. The staff are experts and can walk you through how to prepare all of the high-quality items perfectly.

Suggested pairings: Try a bottle of Saintes Pierres de Nalys 2016 Chateauneufdu-pape red, $67.99. It is a delicious, juicy dry red. I opened the bottle an hour before pouring to “let it breathe,” and that definitely elevated the fanciness of the evening since I’d never bought a bottle of wine that needed to breathe.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 11547 Yard St., Fishers What to get: Porterhouse steak Price: $24.99 a pound Anna’s take: With COVID-19 cases on the rise, some Hamilton County residents might be leery of dining out. If this is you, opt for Kincaid’s Meat Market. Pick out a few of its quality items, ask how to prepare it correctly and enjoy a fancy date night at home.

I started with an appetizer of La Quercia speck, an applewood smoked prosciutto ($8.99) and some Chevoo goat cheese with olive oil ($6.99). After devouring that, I boiled a bag of frozen shrimp ($40). To do it correctly, wait until the water reaches a rolling boil and then add the shrimp. The shrimp is ready when the water returns to a boil. Drain the water and dump the shrimp immediately into an ice bath. Pair with a jar of St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce.

Then, I seared the porterhouse steak

Blueprint for Improvement: Historic Indy mid-century kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The stone wall original to the home had a large cut-out that was formerly an indoor barbeque pit. The opening now accommodates dual ovens.

2. The alder wood cabinetry is finished in a rich caramel color and is paired with a crisp white quartz countertop.

3. Textured deep green subway tile provides a unique and inviting warmth to the kitchen.

THE CHALLENGE This 1957 home is in Indianapolis’ historic Crow’s Nest neighborhood. The new owners wanted to modernize several of the rooms while honoring the mid-century style of the home’s interior. This is Part 2 of a three-part series.

Mexico City’s El Angel

Join us virtually for our 9th annual

5K

Commentary by Don Knebel After defeating the Aztec Empire in 1521, Spain controlled what is now Mexico. On Sept. 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo, a TRAVEL Roman Catholic priest having Spanish ancestry, preached a sermon in his parish church in Delores, calling on people to join him in a rebellion against Spanish rule. Tens of thousands of people, many armed only with machetes, responded to this Grito de Delores (the Cry of Delores). Hidalgo was executed for treason in July 1811, but the rebellion he initiated continued and Mexico gained its independence in 1821. Father Hidalgo is considered the “Father of the Nation” and Sept. 16, the date of his Grito de Delores, is Mexican Independence Day. In 1900, Mexican President Porfirio Díaz ordered the erection of a victory column at the center of Mexico City to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Grito de Delores.

Although an initial version collapsed, the Monument to Independence was dedicated by President Díaz on Sept. 16, 1910. The 118-foot-high column is topped by a gilded bronze statue of winged Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, holding in her right hand a laurel wreath above a statue of Hidalgo at the base. Because Mexicans call the statue El Ángel, the column itself is commonly called El Ángel. In 1925, the remains of Father Hidalgo and 13 other insurgents were entombed in a mausoleum beneath the monument. In 1929, an eternal flame was added at the base to honor the heroes of the rebellion. The circle around El Ángel is a popular place for national celebrations and political rallies.
