Boone County Commissioners announce president — The Board of Boone County Commissioners unanimously chose Tom Santelli to serve as the board’s president in 2021. Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe will serve as vice president. Boone County Commissioner Donnie Lawson served as the board’s president in 2020.

Should all residents 60 and older be immunized, 22.5 percent of all Hoosiers would be vaccinated, according to the IDH. People 60 and older account for 64.1 percent of all state COVID-19 hospitalizations and 93.3 percent of all COVID-19 deaths.

State health officials said at least one vaccination clinic will be available in every county, totaling 148 statewide, including 55 hospital sites, 91 local health departments and two pharmacy locations in Newton and Posey counties. Additional groups, such as people with underlying health conditions, will be added as more vaccine doses become available, according to officials. Updates will be posted at ourshot.in.gov.

State health officials said the age-focused approach will save the most lives and reduce hospitalizations, thus easing the burden on the state’s health care system, which has been strained by a surge in COVID-19 cases since the Thanksgiving holiday. Health officials warn similar surges could be seen following the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

BCHD expects COVID spike, announces vaccination plans

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. reported fewer cases of COVID-19 in the weeks following Christmas, but health PANDEMIC officials still expect a spike in the coming weeks.

The department reported 273 cases two weeks ago and 271 cases the week before Christmas, a substantial decrease from the 531 cases reported during the reporting week that started Dec. 12 and ended Dec. 18.

BCHD Public Health Educator Claire Haughton attributes the decrease to the fact Christmas and New Year’s Day were on Fridays, when many testing sites were closed the day of and the day before each holiday.

“Testing sites did report fewer tests scheduled, and my guess is that’s because many people were traveling or celebrating,” Haughton said. “We fully anticipate a Christmas- and New Year’s-related spike.”

For the Jan. 2-3 weekend, Haughton said

the BCHD reported more than 300 new cases and more were expected.

Local health officials said they want to begin Phase 1b vaccinations Jan. 12 in the Witham Centennial Hall North at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds, 1300 E 100 S., Lebanon. At that time, residents 80 and older can receive vaccines.

First responders, such as law enforcement, firefighters/EMTs, and volunteers for COVID-19 vaccine clinics were set to receive invitations for COVID-19 vaccines last week, Haughton said.

BCHD officials want to eventually administer vaccines Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., but they note the number of vaccines the county receives will limit the department’s hours during Phase 1b.

The vaccine sites will be open Jan. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., January 13 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Jan. 14 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Wrapping up Christmas season Commentary by Ward Degler Christmas is over. Sort of. The tree is still up, and although the gift giving is mostly over, we are still celebrating the season.

The Feast of PLAIN TALK the Epiphany was Jan. 6.

For most folks, that signals the end of Christmas. More dedicated Christians keep the lights on until Feb. 2, the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.

We probably won’t do that. Not because the Presentation isn’t important, but because we really need our living room back.

Our Christmas tree is really big and takes up a big chunk of the room, so we have to scoot sideways when coming and going.

My wife’s family is huge, and that means lots of presents, all of which have to be wrapped, of course, and every year I find myself heading up the gift wrap department. The reason for that dates to our first Christmas together when I casually mentioned that in high school I worked one Christmas in the gift-wrap department of our local JCPenny department store. That sealed my fate. From that point on, I was a

certified lifetime professional gift wrapper.

For several weeks before Christmas, the gifts accumulate. I can’t start wrapping, though, because it’s not yet clear who gets what. That decision rests with my wife, who lovingly inventories her purchases and decides what would be the perfect gift for this niece, this nephew, this sister, granddaughter, and so on.

That process was mostly completed this year by Christmas Eve morning, and I was notified to man the scissors and Scotch Tape. For the next nine hours (I am not exaggerating), I packaged, measured, cut, folded and taped. I ate lunch while measuring out sheets of wrapping paper.

And I did recover three pens and two rolls of tape that got lost during the wrapping frenzy. They will come in handy next Christmas.

How Boone County prevailed against the ‘dark store theory’

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com On New Year’s Eve, Boone County officials were notified the county had won a legal battle that began in 2018 against Meijer Stores Limited Partnerships, which county officials hope will establish precedent to end the practice of what is colloquially known as the “dark store theory” in Indiana.

That afternoon, county officials were notified the Indiana Tax Court upheld a prior determination by the Indiana Board of Tax Review to increase the property valuation of Meijer’s 194,380-square-foot retail store in Whitestown.

The legal battle determined the store’s property value, which in turn determines the store’s property taxes. County officials say the company attempted to use a method of appraising retail stores that would lower its property value and, therefore, its property taxes, burdening taxpayers. Meijer representatives argued during the legal battle the company was implementing “generally accepted appraisal practices,” according to a court document.

County officials said it has become common practice for retailers such as Meijer to use the dark store theory to determine a store’s property valuation. The theory holds that a retail store’s value should be derived from the sale value of purportedly comparable stores that have previously sold. The purportedly comparable stores can be vacant “dark stores” that are no longer operating when sold. The Whitestown store has never been closed.

County officials said Meijer had never previously lost a case in Indiana in which it employed the theory as a way of appraising one of its stores. Meijer officials did not respond to a request for comment.

County officials argue the dark store approach doesn’t accurately reflect an operating store’s value and is a legal loophole, saying companies have used it to avoid paying appropriate property taxes, which forces counties to operate with decreased tax revenues and/or services. Should they want the same tax revenue, counties would have to raise taxes, county officials said, adding

Boone County Council Vice President Elise Nieshalla celebrates the county’s recent legal victory at the Jan. 4 county commissioners’ meeting.

that they feared a ruling in Meijer’s favor would perpetuate the dark store practice and other businesses would follow suit.

“If you play that out, if they are able to keep this snowball effect going with this dark box theory, what’s to stop a warehouse owner from comparing their alive and running business to an empty warehouse that’s been vacant for years, or a factory to a factory that’s vacant?” Boone County Council Vice President Elise Nieshalla said.

“It just had to be stopped. It’s an unacceptable methodology for determining property value.”

The ruling relieved county officials. The battle cost the county — and its supporters who donated funds, such as Whitestown and the Association of Indiana Counties — nearly $750,00 in legal fees that can’t be recouped, a common deterrent for many counties that might otherwise challenge similar appeals, Nieshalla said.

“Those were very difficult decisions,” Nieshalla said. “These are taxpayer dollars (used) to fight something you don’t know if you’re going to win. We had several key leaders in the state who said you are in the best position to stop this thing.”

about that gets around and gets to the judges, and they think, ‘We need to think a little more strongly about this.’ Part of it, too, is the team we put together. We got some of the best appraisers in the country, I think, to come in and rebut some of the arguments they were making.”

Although the tax court’s ruling can still be appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court

by Feb. 1, county officials don’t foresee the case continuing because the Indiana Supreme Court has never heard a case centered on application of the dark store theory.

Nieshalla and other county officials plan to work with state legislators to close what they have deemed to be a loophole in the appraisal process and end the application of the dark store theory in Indiana.

Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said Meijer is a “fantastic store” and wanted to emphasize during the Jan. 4 commissioners’ meeting that the legal battle was a matter of trying to correct a process to benefit not only Boone County residents but also all Hoosiers.

Nieshalla said the key to the county’s victory was the Indiana Board of Tax Review’s decision to make Meijer reveal its cost to build as part of the discovery process. The cost was not made publicly available. She said the county was unable to attain the information, as many other counties have failed to do, because the company has cited it as proprietary information.

County officials said knowing the cost of building the store enabled county representatives to argue in favor of a cost-approach appraisal, the same approach the board and tax court said was most appropriate.

“It was very contentious,” Boone County Attorney Bob Clutter said of Meijer’s cost-tobuild information. “They didn’t want to give it up for anything.”

Clutter said although previous cases did not favor counties challenging appeals from large retailers, a driving force in the board’s decision to make Meijer reveal its cost to build was political pressure in the form of proposed legislation.

“That stuff gets to the judges,” Clutter said. “They hear about it. We’ve had legislation proposed or talked about in great extent for the last two sessions, and word

LETTER

Managing expectations

Post-COVID suggestions

Commentary by Terry Anker By now, the seasonal gifts have all been revealed. The ones repeatedly delayed in delivery have found their way to our doors, mostly intact. Holiday cards are presented upon the mantle for a week or two longer. Colleagues, neighbors and suppliers greeted us with smiles and the occasional tin of cookies as a token of their esteem and goodwill. Our waistlines have reached their peak with the promise of a better diet and more activity in the coming weeks to hasten the decline to our formerly aspired girth. Such is the story of every new year.

Still, the echo of the season doesn’t resonate the same with everyone. Some of us tore into our gifts to find them resplendent and abundant with an excess of all hopes, while others removed shiny printed paper only to discover meager rations and disappointment. We smiled politely and reassured the giver. Inside, we longed for more. Whether the Red Ryder BB gun, the end to the pandemic, victory in the ongoing and seemingly endless elections or a pretty little pony, we didn’t get what we wanted and are not happy about it.

And for those of us who found stockings filled with great plenty, we aren’t entirely satisfied, either. Sure, the toys are fun for a moment, until we notice that they aren’t quite as good as the commercials on television might suggest.

Why doesn’t GI Joe’s “action grip” hands actually grip? Exactly when will we get the COVID-19 vaccine, and will it work for us? Does absolute political power make problems go away, or, if anything, does it only change the nature of them? The pony was fun on Christmas morning, but after bragging to our friends about getting one, well, not so much now. Can you believe how expensive and full of you-know-what they are?

Oh, for not crying out loud Commentary by Danielle Wilson To cry or not to cry? Or more to the point, to cry or not to cry in front of your children?

That is the question that has HUMOR been receiving quite a bit of attention in our household of late. According to our four kids, Doo and I are relatively good parents, but the one area where we have definitely failed is in the modeling of vulnerability.

It’s not a surprising accusation, really.

Doo grew up in a world where men simply didn’t cry, and so he doesn’t. And though I do get emotional, it’s a rarity that very few will ever witness. I’m half British and spent a couple of years in the military — stoicism is my thing, at least until I reach the safety of a vacant bathroom or minivan. I’m also terrible when dealing with others who are sharing deep feelings. I either flee or make an inappropriate four-letter-word joke. And god forbid if hugs are called for. Blech.

The problem is that my now young-adult

offspring don’t know how to express heartache or sorrow in a healthy way. They’ve never seen it done, not by me or Doo. And they’ve finally called us out on it, elaborating incessantly on this shortcoming over the last month: “We need therapy, Mom!” OK, Doo and I figured our heirs would seek professional help at some point.

They’ve grown up with a left-leaning redheaded mother who suppresses her emotions and a right-leaning bald father who battles ADD. But how to show grief? I didn’t see that one coming.

In answer to my previous question, then, absolutely cry in front of your children!

Peace out.

Editor, Living through a pandemic has caused us to practice safeguards for ourselves and others. Some of the adjustments we are all making have not been all bad. Ten things that we should consider keeping after we get over COVID-19: 1. Plexiglas at cashier stations.

2. Smaller number of students in our classrooms and continued use of meaningful technology as one part of student learning.

3. Less handshaking. A smile, a nod, a wave, a bow all work.

4. No yelling opinions at one another — too much spittle involved in loud voices. Keep conversations respectful.

5. Zoom or Google (Meet) with friends and family who live far away. (It’s) nice to see one another when we talk.

6. Having public surfaces wiped down more than occasionally.

7. Wear a mask anytime you want.

8. Listening to the experts and elec government leaders who are knowledgeable, service-oriented and make decisions to benefit all Americans.

Shelley Carey, Carmel

A chilling tale of the basement fridge When we got married and were planning our future, we decided one would be enough, although many of HUMOR our friends had two. Two was never in our plans, but things happen. We ended up keeping the older one in the basement.

Yes, we have two refrigerators.

This would seem like more than enough space for cold foods, right? But we never seem to have room in the kitchen fridge, and we’re always arguing over which edible items should be kept where.

“Dick, I am rearranging things,” Mary Ellen said. “I’m putting your sauerkraut and mustard in the downstairs fridge so I have room for my fresh spinach and my giant Naked Juice bottles.”

“Wait! I don’t want to go downstairs every time I need mustard and sauerkraut for my hot dogs.”

“Why not? You’re going to have to go downstairs, anyway, to get those hot dogs.

I moved them yesterday.”

“What? You moved my hot dogs? How would you like it if I moved your almond

milk to the other fridge?”

“You try that, and you can say adios to your huge jar of salsa.”

Mary Ellen and I then had a cordial discussion about rearranging some of our other personal favorites. She agreed to move her broccoli downstairs and keep my rotisserie chicken upstairs, and I agreed to transfer my White Castle burgers to the downstairs freezer so there was room for Mary Ellen’s frozen yogurt bars in the kitchen.

“I found a yummy piece of leftover corned beef. I hoped it would taste as good as it did on St Patrick’s Day.” But then, Mary Ellen wanted to move all my chilled beer downstairs.

“Six beers take up an entire shelf,” she said.

“Yes, and they take up most of my Sunday when I watch football on TV. Upstairs.”

We often have leftovers that waste space as they get pushed to the back and forgotten about. I got very excited the day

after Christmas when I was rummaging through the shelves. I found a yummy piece of leftover corned beef. I hoped it would taste as good as it did on St Patrick’s Day. Mary Ellen was in a rearranging mood.

While I was in my downstairs office, I saw her struggling with her arms full of coats as she descended the staircase.

“Now what are you doing?”

“I’m rearranging all our spring jackets, moving them from the hall closet to the basement clothing rack. After I bring the winter coats upstairs, I want you to help me move the leather reading chair to the guest room, and let’s put your grandfather’s desk back in the corner of the master bedroom.”

“I hate moving things around. Unlike you, I am a creature of habit. How did we ever end up together? Do you think it was by chance?”

“Heavens, no. It was arranged.”

offs the hospital industry has ever come up with, according to Charles B. Inlander, a consumer advocate and health-care consultant based in Fogelsville, Pa.. Across the nation, consumers who go to “off-site” urgent-care centers or medical practices (they are not located on a hospital’s campus but are owned by the hospital entity) are being charged facility fees that in some cases are higher than the cost of care that was provided. Sadly, the fees themselves are perfectly legal despite complaints to federal and state regulators and legislators from consumers and even some doctors.

ATI co-founders determine timing right to revisit ‘Alabama Story’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founders figured the climate from the 2020 protests over racial PERFORMANCE injustice presented the right opportunity to revisit its 2019 production of “Alabama Story.”

With the pandemic curtailing live performances, ATI is presenting a pay-per-view stream of a recorded performance from Jan. 18 to Feb. 14.

The play, written by Kenneth Jones, is based on the true story of a state senator who wanted the Alabama Public Library to remove a children’s book, “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” which depicts a black and white rabbit getting married. The legislator believed the book promoted interracial marriage and wanted the book banned.

ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins played the role of Alabama state librarian and Indiana native Emily Wheelock Reed, who resisted the censorship in 1959.

“There will always be racists in this country and around the world spreading hate,” Collins said. “The year 2020 brought much of that to light, as did the Civil Rights movement, opening the eyes of some and further closing the eyes of others. Through education, patience and persistence, good will prevail over evil.

“It is always important to keep the conversation alive in regard to racism, not to cover it up, not to pretend it doesn’t exist in your community. ‘Alabama Story’ shows us all of these things.”

Collins said it was an important role for her for many reasons, including bringing a real person to life on stage who did everything within her power to stop the banning of a book.

“In her way, Emily Reed fought a very difficult battle against a very racist community,” she said. “This was a woman in 1959 in the South fighting white men, white men in power. To me, that is always significant. As an actor, I was honored to

portray her and relish in roles like this, written so beautifully by playwright Kenneth Jones.”

Maeghan Looney, who is based in Chicago but living in Ft. Wayne during the pandemic, played the role of Lily, a white woman who reconnects with a Black man she knew as a child.

“I was moved by the production and by the audience reaction to it,” Looney said.

“Many people left with tears in their eyes.

Had I been a spectator and not a performer, I still would have thought about this show and its message many times over the course of 2020.”

Looney said the subject matter is important to examine.

“Our world view is shaped by our own experience,” she said. “You can be deeply empathetic and still not fully comprehend the impact of an experience until you’ve lived it. The events that ignited the explosive outcry over racial inequality in America this year were not isolated. Racism didn’t go away after 1960. More than once, a patron leaving the auditorium relayed how connected they felt to my character,

Lily, and I think most of us were Lily this year, overwhelmed, wanting to help but not sure how.

“But like her, we were all given opportunities to listen, take initiative to educate ourselves to not turn a blind eye because it was more comfortable, and to examine how our own behavior might not represent the best of us. Yes, I believe things will hit differently upon a second viewing after the events of this year, and I hope the lessons there continue to inspire growth.”

Sam Arce, a Broadway investor and Carmel resident, saw the opening night show of ‘Alabama Story’ and was moved.

Arce said ATI co-founder Don Farrell’s performance as the segregationist senator was remarkable because the role is so far removed from who he is.

Arce was reminded of growing up watching Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a segregationist during the 1960s and ’70s.

He plans to watch the performance with his son, Sammy, a Carmel High School freshman.

“I think it will be just another good learning point for him,” Arce said. “Nowadays, it’s important we have these discussions. You could see a lot of emotions when people were talking to the cast after the show.”

Arts advocate Frank Basile supported the play’s message in a November 2019 speech at the grand opening of the building housing the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, pointing out how Vonnegut advocated against literary censorship and supported social justice.

A fan of ATI musicals, Basile said he was surprised to learn ATI was doing the serious play.

“My wife Katrina and I attended the play, not knowing what to expect,” Basile said.

“We were absolutely stunned and moved by the superb acting of the ATI players. I am happy to see that the play will now be streamed since it addresses a topic that is even more relevant today.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern updates to Indy Basement Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• In the basement, carpet was replaced with luxury vinyl plank flooring and the stairwell was updated with new treads and balusters.

• A wet bar was added to the space and features a sink, refrigerator and plenty of storage.

• Wall-mounted cabinets and shelves create the illusion of a floating entertainment center.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling; email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. Visit caseindy. com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

THE CHALLENGE Before the owners purchased this 1991 home at Lake Clearwater, they planned several updates of the interior to fit their modern tastes. This is Part 1 of a three-part series.

A sentence declaration Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Did you know there are four types of sentences in the English language? A complete sentence in English falls into one of these cateGRAMMAR GUY gories: declarative, exclamatory, imperative and interrogatory. Out of all of these types of sentences, we hear and read the declarative sentence most often.

One of my favorite declarative sentences in pop culture is when Michael Scott, regional manager of the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. in “The Office,” walks into the eponymous office and announces, “I declare bankruptcy.”

The accounting department proceeds to tell Michael that you can’t just “declare” bankruptcy, but you actually have to fill out paperwork to achieve legal bankruptcy status.

A declarative sentence makes a statement, provides an explanation, or communicates a fact or information. You’ll find declarative sentences (or declarative statements) written in the present tense, and they usually end in periods. In Michael

Scott’s case, I would guess the bankruptcy line in the script ended with an exclamation point.

Among the declarative statements, we have two types: The simple declarative statement and the compound declarative statement. The simple declarative statements are just that — simple. They include a subject and a predicate: I have red hair.

The Chiefs won the football game. Potatoes grow underground.

A compound declarative sentence combines two phrases that have connected thoughts with a comma (or sometimes a semicolon) and a coordinating conjunction. In the case of compound declarative sentences that use semicolons, you’ll often find a transition word such as “however” or “so” following the semicolon.

Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Burj Al Arab: A seven-star hotel?

Commentary by Don Knebel The Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) Hotel has become the symbol of Dubai and the best example of its over-theTRAVEL top architecture and lifestyle.

With rooms starting at $1,500 a night, it is frequently called the most luxurious hotel in the world.

The Burj, which opened in 1999 at an estimated cost of $1 billion, is on a small manmade island in the Persian Gulf about 900 feet northwest of Jumeirah Beach, connected to the mainland by a causeway. Its uniquely curved shape evokes the sail of a dhow, a traditional Arabian (and Indian) water vessel. At 918 feet, the Burj is the fourth-tallest hotel in the world, accommodating a 600foot closed atrium, said to be the tallest in the world. The hotel includes 202 two-story suites, ranging in size from 1,800 square feet to 8,400 square feet, each including a marble staircase to upstairs bedrooms featuring mattresses filled with eiderdown, the soft feathers eiders use to line their nests. Almost a half-acre of 24-carat gold leaf adorns

BATHROOMS

the hotel’s interior, including bathroom fixtures and elevator doors.

Guards at the entrance to the causeway limit entry to persons displaying reservations for the hotel or one of its nine associated restaurants serving truffles and caviar, including Al Muntaha (The Ultimate), which is cantilevered more than 600 feet above the Persian Gulf and reached by elevator, and Al Mahara (The Oyster), reached by a simulated submarine ride and includes one of the hotel’s three aquariums. Many of the hotel guests arrive by helicopter, landing on a heliport near the top of the hotel, or in one of the white Rolls-Royce limousines maintained by the hotel. Because of its unparalleled extravagance, the Burj Al Arab Hotel has been called the world’s only seven-star hotel, two notches above the highest official hotel rating.
