Ideally, Versiti strives for a three-day supply of blood for its partner hospitals. Schools and businesses are typically Versiti’s largest source of blood donations this time of year. Because of remote work and virtual schooling, many of those drives have been canceled. Compared to an average year, donations have been cut by more than 50 percent – nearly 20,000 units of blood. Blood donors are needed now, Versiti officials say, to help ensure life-saving blood is available for Hoosiers who need it.

O-negative and O-positive blood donors are most needed now. O-negative and O-positive blood can be transfused to all patients, including trauma victims, cancer patients and those undergoing surgery.

Councilors question fee increases

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Some members of the Zionsville Town Council expressed concern regarding proposed SERVICES amenity fee increases in 2021 during the council’s Jan. 4 meeting.

The council annually votes to approve fees for town amenities when Plunkett considering the town’s fee schedule. The fees are one-time charges based on transactions with participating residents and are not charged to all residents. For example, under the proposed 2021 fee schedule, a participating adult would be charged $600 for a golf course season pass at Zionsville Golf Course.

The fees generate revenue for town departments, including the parks and recreation, police and fire departments.

This year, the town will collect new fees for some activities connected with special events, fees for duplications of body camera videos and accident photos from the Zionsville Police Dept., meeting room fees and fees for the town’s planned dog park.

The new fees were considered, in part, to pay for the increased services, but some council members voiced concern about increasing other fees, particularly because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial strain it has put on some residents.

“I just think that in this time of year, in a pandemic setting, we were really diligent on the budget process and in other areas not to increase (taxes),” council Vice President Jason Plunkett said. “It just doesn’t feel right to me that we would increase fees for amenities for citizens in a time like this.”

Plunkett questioned why certain fees collected by the parks department were set to increase in the town’s proposed 2021 fee schedule.

Zionsville Supt. of Parks and Recreation Jarod Logsdon said the proposed fee increases are to cover some of the costs related to the

programs in order to expand programs.

Logsdon said the town’s parks departments fees are below the standard for other districts and parks of similar size, according to comparison rates. Collected fees will be invested directly into park programs, he said.

Logsdon said the town’s park master plan indicated a majority of residents are willing to pay more for more park services. If the fee increases are not apLogsdon proved and the department needs to use some of its cash reserves, Logsdon said progress on ongoing parks projects in its master plan would be halted or delayed.

“These increases, which are often just a dollar or a couple dollars per event, don’t penalize the taxpayer,” Logsdon said. “It’s for participants who choose to participate in these programs, and that money is being reinvested into our programs so that we can expand them. And as that fund continues to grow, we will be able to offer subsidies to demographics that need that assistance to participate — for example, seniors on limited income.”

Plunkett said he questioned the rationale of some of the department’s fee increases because the percentage increase in fees varied.

During the meeting, Tammy Havard, Zionsville’s chief financial officer, said the town needed to “increase revenues to cover (the town’s) overhead.”

The council unanimously approved a motion to pass the fee schedule on a first reading. The council will hear a second reading at its Jan. 18 meeing, during which it will decide whether to approve the schedule as written.

Ahead of the next meeting, Plunkett and other council members requested more information from Havard and Logsdon for the reasoning behind specific fee increases and the ramifications in projected dollar amounts of approving or rejecting the proposed fee schedule as written.

“It’s for participants who choose to participate in these programs, and that money is being reinvested into our programs so that we can expand them. And as that fund continues to grow, we will be able to offer subsidies to demographics that need that assistance to participate — for example, seniors on limited income.”

ZIONSVILLE Project: North-South Connector Location: The final element to begin on the project is the new, two-lane roundabout on Oak Street at CR 850 E., also known as Cooper Road. While Oak Street is planned to remain open to traffic throughout this phase, CR 850 E. will close south of the intersection for approximately 30 days during construction. This is due to the change in elevation; the roundabout will be higher than the crossstreet, so a temporary access cannot be provided.

Expected completion: The closure dates have not been

announced yet, but the project is expected to be complete this summer.

Boone County given red COVID-19 designation per 100,000 residents. The two rates are scored on a scale of 0-3, added and then divided to determine a county’s composite score. Counties with a positivity rate higher than 15 percent are given a score of 3, as are counties that report more than 200 new cases per 100,000 residents in a week.

According to the IDH, Boone County had a 17.44 percent positivity rate as of Jan. 13 and 586 positive cases per 100,00 residents. The state’s data often lags behind the Boone County Health Dept.’s by at least a week, according to BCHD officials.

After discovering a reporting error, the IDH now calculates each county’s test positivity rate by dividing the sum of all its positive tests in the previous seven days by the sum of all its tests in the previous seven days and multiplying the quotient by 100 to determine a percentage.

Previously, a county’s test positivity rate was calculated as a seven-day rolling average of daily rates, which did not account for fluctuations in the number of tests performed each day.

The Indiana Dept. of Health announced Boone County is now designated as a red county on the state’s coroPANDEMIC navirus color-coded advisory map, a designation that indicates the highest spread of COVID-19.

The designation means social gatherings in the county will be limited to 25 people.

Schools, at the discretion of local health departments, will still be allowed to hold in-person classes. On Jan. 13, 73 of Indiana’s 92 counties were designated red on the state’s advisory map, and the remaining counties were orange, the state’s second-highest designation.

“Hoosiers, we still have a lot of work to do,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said. “We just need more time (to vaccinate residents).”

Boone County was designated red with a composite score of 3.0 based on the county’s 7-day positivity rate and rate of cases

ZCS expects to continue hybrid schedule

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community Schools officials said they are confident the school district can safely continue to offer PANDEMIC in-person classes within its hybrid schedule ahead of Boone County’s designation as a red county on the state’s coronavirus color-coded advisory map, which indicates the highest level of community spread.

However, ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said during a Jan. 11 school board meeting that the school district will follow guidance issued by the Boone County Health Dept.

“We think they will let us do in person as long as we don’t have large in-school spread, and there is no indication our operation hurts others in the county, and there is no guidance from the state that would preclude us from moving forward,” Robison said during the Jan. 11 school board meeting.

BCHD officials were unavailable for comment, and it it is unclear whether the de-

partment will advise a change to the school district’s schedule following the color change announcement.

Robison said he corresponded with BCHD Administrator and Nursing and Vital Records Director Lisa Younts in the days prior to the Jan. 11 meeting.

In an email from Younts that Robinson shared excerpts from during the meeting, Younts said the “number of positives and quarantines within your schools will definitely be considered when (the) BCHD provides recommendations regarding in-person/hybrid/virtual learning.”

Younts also said in the email the BCHD “(hopes) to keep kids in a hybrid model, if not all in-person, as long as it is safe to do so.”

Robison said Jan. 11 he was confident ZCS could still safely offer in-person classes under its hybrid schedule.

Robison said ZCS would be “lobbying to stay in school.”

“We know that our kids do better when they are in school,” Robison said.

Several Zionsville projects coming in 2021

By Jarred Meeks • jarred@youarecurrent.com Town of Zionsville officials are confident that a number of 2021 projects will benefit residents and businesses in a variety of ways.

Some of the top projects, among the many planned 2021 town initiatives, are the Zionsville Gateway Area and developing Zionsville Wayfinding Master Plan. The town has also launched its new community enrichment grant program.

COMMUNITY GRANTS At the beginning of the year, Zionsville announced the creation of a community enrichment grant committee, which will distribute grants biannually to assist local nonprofits that promote the town, support Zionsville businesses, create a public facility, improve infrastructure or celebrate diversity and inclusion in the community, according to grant guidelines.

The grant program is, in part, a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron said.

“COVID has also really hit nonprofit organizations, and we didn’t really have much of a way of addressing what their needs are because the funding source for the COVID relief funds have been the Styron village (tax increment financing) district, and that has geographic restraints to it,” Styron said. “As we started thinking through in the future, we realized that we have a very healthy balance in our food and beverage tax revenue source, and that has been used in the past, every year, for programmatic budget items for nonprofit organizations in Zionsville, so we thought, ‘Let’s put some more process around it.’”

The grants will be awarded at the discretion of a five-member committee, comprised of local residents, tasked with reviewing and evaluating rounds of applications each financial quarter. Three committee members are appointed by the mayor and two are appointed annually by a town council majority. Members are eligible for term renewal after serving a one-year term.

Grants will be awarded March 30 and Sept. 30. Applications must be submitted at least 30 days before the grants are to be awarded.

For more, visit zionsville-in.gov/577/ Community-Enrichment-Grant.

GATEWAY AREA To reimagine what Styron has called a “blighted entryway” to Zionsville, the town last summer demolished a building formerly owned by PNC bank and a locksmith shop at the northwest corner of Main and Sycamore streets, marking the first stage of the town’s plan for the Zionsville Gateway Area.

Later in 2020, the town asked residents for input to determine the best use of the entryway. Styron said the town has collected responses after public and virtual listening sessions and plans to deliberate with the town’s planning commission and town council before announcing next steps for the area.

Styron said neighboring property owners also would be consulted during the process.

“We recognize we need to take into consideration where certain amenities are placed and be respectful of existing residential spaces and realize that there are some commercial uses that are better suited for different spaces because of the nature of the adjoining properties,” Styron said. “We’ve gotten quite a bit of feedback, and we have a variety of different scenarios with regard to those different use patterns.”

Also critical to the town’s plan will be the intersection between Main and Sycamore streets and road infrastructure needed to accommodate the town’s vision for the area, Styron said. She estimated town officials would be

able to share a proposal after the plan commission and town council considers options for the area through February and possibly March.

“We’re still in the middle of this because, really, what we want to do is get the planning commission and town council to have a shared vision,” Styron said.

WAYFINDING MASTER PLAN Zionsville recently launched the Wayfinding Master Plan to direct residents and visitors to town amenities, attractions and businesses.

The wayfinding system will “connect pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles with not only the Village Business District and downtown area, but other shopping areas, parks, trailheads and community attractions,” according to gettingaroundzville.com, a town webside with information concerning the plan.

“The hard to talk about (aspect) in regard to wayfinding is you don’t know that it is something that is important until you go into a community, and you realize what it can do for you,” Styron said. “What we’re looking at doing here in Zionsville is a little bit broader than just (a) simple approach. We know a driving reason people

come to Zionsville is school, parks and quality of life, but there’s not signage that helps you orient yourself near different parks or recreation facilities, or even schools, and that can be helpful in terms of both guiding people who are looking to discover something they didn’t even know is available to them or if they’re on their way to go somewhere for the first time.”

Besides assisting visitors, Styron said the plan will benefit residents by reminding them of the town’s myriad offerings. Residents are invited to participate in virtual meetings scheduled for Jan. 28 at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to review survey results and discuss signage needs and placement options (the agenda is the same for both meetings).

To register for the meetings, visit gettingaroundzville. com/events.

Next week, Current will examine the town’s parks and recreation department’s plans for new parks and the Big 4 Rail Trail.

Hard lessons

Can Republicans and Democrats still break bread?

Commentary by Terry Anker Sometimes, we have to learn the hard way. It is not clear why we, the most intelligent of God’s creatures, struggle to take stock of the mistakes of the past and repeat them over and over and over again until we have found our own individualized path to enlightenment.

Still, we most assuredly do.

Granddad would offer helpful suggestions to us kids as we set out to do our daily chores. Confident that our new and enlightened “way” would only confuse the old man, we nodded politely and then ignored his guidance. Sure, he’d been doing the job for 70 years or so and probably had gained a bit of experience along the way, but what did this guy know about things? This is a brave new world. We could certainly do it better now.

Hours later, knuckles bloodied and school pants torn, we’d return, defeated. Without so much as a deserved I-told-you-so, he’d put down his smoldering pipe, Captain Black would wait, and come to the barn to help. By learning the time-tested and then, and only then, challenging the standard from a point of both understanding and respect could we hope to improve the process. Change, wrought by ignorance or arrogance, seldom reaps any benefit other than more work. From then on, when advice was offered, most of us would gladly listen for a bit to the voice of experience.

Eager as we might be to make ourselves unique, improve upon the process, or simply not do it the way we are told, are we complicating our lives and ignoring the optimal runway to success? Do we intentionally debilitate our own progress just to ensure that we don’t give those before us the satisfaction of knowing that they, or those before them, developed a pretty good system to ensure human flourishing?

A campy escape from reality Commentary by Danielle Wilson So much for a fresh start in 2021. Between skyrocketing COVID-19 cases and an unhinged, maniacal president, HUMOR I’ve desperately been seeking means of emotional escape.

Thank god for online streaming services.

Puzzles and books are fine, but nothing compares to a juicy Netflix series for those wanting a complete detachment from reality. Yes, please!

My latest fave is the CW’s “The 100,” a young adult sci-fi show that follows a group of beautiful but delinquent teens who’ve been sent to a post-apocalyptic Earth to see if it’s inhabitable again. The writing is horrible, the acting is only marginally better, and the production value is somewhere between “Flash Gordon” and a ’90s sitcom.

No matter! I’m immediately transported to a world where eye makeup is consistently on point, whether emerging from gladiatorl-style combat or cryo-sleep, relationships bloom and dissolve faster than I can click “Continue to Next Episode,” and

the ethics of cannibalism is a reoccurring theme. It’s pure TV gold.

More important, “The 100” is keeping me sane. I look forward to it each night, curled up in bed or on the couch, maybe a hot cup of tea in hand, and savor those moments of disconnect from the ever-crazy headlines of the day. Will Clarke become the commander?

Will Bellamy ever confront his demons? And how do humans living in a cultish commune on a distant planet’s moon 300 years in the future acquire a printing press? These are the questions that occupy my thoughts.

And I’m good with that. Self-care is key to surviving these insane times, and if that means binge-watching a “Terminator-meets-Dawson’s Creek” soap opera, so be it. Peace out.

Self-care is key to surviving these insane times, and if that means binge-watching a “Terminatormeets-Dawson’s Creek” soap opera, so be it.

Editor, Can a Carmel Democrat and a Noblesville Republican still break bread? Of course, the answer is yes. I am glad to be the Democrat at this table, where my speech must survive the free market.

My wife and I enjoy dining with the Republican couple because we still have a common goal which must not be overlooked: our shared interest in truth.

I am downright disappointed to find so many adults who cannot join a table unless their opinion be echoed by the other participants. In my view, this table has given up on truth and has instead committed itself to a self-serving, overly indulgent view of “nothing matters but my own bias,” thereby avoiding the free market of ideas, and, ultimately, truth.

Our own conduct must survive the free trade of ideas, allowing for introspection, and then (will) our understanding of our shared ultimate good desire to be at the table, together in peace and with candor.

Noticeably, the main caveat for dining at this table must be seeking shared truth. Only then will those dining find a shared peace. Once we have lost our craving for facts, it is challenging to share bread in the open market of ideas.

Not the hygiene answer I expectorated Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I called my friend yesterday.

“Hi, Bob, it’s Dick. I have a weird question to ask you,” I said. “Mary Ellen HUMOR and I disagree on what most people do. When you are finished brushing your teeth, do you rinse and spit or just spit?”

“Geesh, Dick, I have never thought about that until now. I’ll call you back at the end of your column.”

I found a few websites on this very topic. One of the so-called experts said he had a small dental practice in rural Virginia with about 50 patients — a total of 200 teeth. He was a big fan of rinsing and then spitting after your daily brushing. Another dentist from England didn’t believe in rinsing, but he wasn’t a proponent of daily brushing, either.

Dentist John Love is considered “the leading voice on dental appliances.” Dr. Love is an advocate of spitting only, but he uses the word expectorate instead, which impressed one manufacturer when he auditioned to be the voiceover talent for their talking toothbrushes.

A popular website says regardless of which method you use, the most important thing is to avoid sugary foods. At the bottom of the website, there is this note: We Use Cookies.

One woman said she was positive her toothpaste tube says to “always rinse after use.” Then she posted that she had confused her toothpaste with her shampoo.

Now, she’s concerned that she may have swallowed too much soap.

I decided to bite the bullet and call my own dentist, although I knew that biting bullets was not something he recommended.

“Dr. Townshend, this is Dick Wolfsie.

Could you tell me if I should spit and rinse after I brush, or just spit?”

“Dick, do you know how often I get asked that that question?”

“How often?”

“Never. Goodbye, Dick, and don’t forget to floss.”

This was becoming even more perplexing.

Floss, brush, spit, rinse?

Brush, floss, rinse, spit?

Spit, rinse, brush, floss?

Rinse, brush, spit, floss?

I realize some of those sequences made no sense. Why would you spit first? But I was considering every option.

I put the whole thing out of my mind by thinking about important things like: Should I put on both socks first and then my shoes, or one foot’s sock and shoe at a time? Also, should I shave before or after I shower?

Then, the phone rang. It was Bob calling me back, as promised.

“Dick, it’s Bob. Cathy just watched me in the bathroom. She says I brush, spit, rinse and spit. By the way, I also floss at the end.”

“That’s a big help, Bob. Thanks. I think I’m getting a better idea of the normal order.”

“You’re welcome. Now tell me, when should I use my mouthwash?”

Straight talk on COVID-19 vaccinations Commentary by Andrew R. Greenspan, M.D. Now that COVID-19 vaccines are becoming available in our area, the myths about them are becoming more prevalent. This is an attempt to deliver dispelling facts.

Myth: “We can’t trust COVID-19 vaccines because they were rushed to market.”

Fact: The first vaccines for COVID-19 do involve new technology, and they were developed in record time. But it’s not because there were shortcuts in the process. The new technology at the center of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines is called messenger RNA, or mRNA. While this is the first time it’s being widely used in a vaccine for the public, researchers have actually been working on this vaccine strategy for more than three decades. FDA analysis of the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness on people age 16 and older found “no specific safety concerns” that would preclude the vaccine’s use.

Myth: “The vaccine will give me COVID-19.”

Fact: Vaccines prime your immune system to recognize and fight off a disease, but they don’t actually cause an infection. The vaccines that are available in the U.S. contain a strand of the aforementioned mRNA. When the mRNA enters your cells, it instructs them to make a piece of the “spike” protein that’s present on the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Those protein pieces don’t actually harm your body, but they do trigger your immune system to mount a response to fight them off.

Myth: “We don’t know what’s in these vaccines.”

Fact: Both Pfizer and Moderna have published the ingredient lists for their vaccines. In addition to the star ingredient, the COVID-19 mRNA for the spike protein, both vaccines contain lipids (fats) that help deliver the mRNA into your cells and a few other common ingredients that help maintain the pH and stability of the vaccine. Despite theories circulated on social media, they do not contain microchips or any form of tracking device.

Myth: “These vaccines will alter my DNA.” Fact: The vaccines use mRNA to instruct our cells to make a piece of the coronavirus’s hallmark spike protein in order to spark an immune-system response. Once the mRNA does that, our cells break it down and get rid of it. Messenger RNA is something that’s made from DNA, but it’s not

designed to integrate with our DNA, and it doesn’t permanently change our genome and who we are in any way.

Myth: “I already had COVID-19, so I won’t benefit from the vaccine.”

Fact: We don’t yet know how long natural immunity to COVID-19 lasts. Right now, it seems that getting COVID-19 more than once is not common, but there still are many questions that remain unanswered. Therefore, even if you’ve had COVID-19, it still would be appropriate for you to get the vaccine to make sure you’re protected.

Myth: “Since COVID-19’s survival rate is so high, I don’t need a vaccine.”

Fact: It’s true that most people who get COVID-19 are able to recover. But it’s also true that some people develop severe complications. So far, more than 1.7 million people around the world have died from COVID-19, as well as some 350,000 Americans, and that doesn’t account for people who survived but needed to be hospitalized. Because the disease can damage the lungs, heart and brain, it also may cause long-term health problems that experts still are working to understand. There’s another reason to consider getting the vaccine: It protects those around you. Even if COVID-19 doesn’t make you very sick, you could pass it on to someone else who might be more severely affected. Widespread vaccination protects populations, including those who are most at risk and those who can’t be vaccinated. It will be important for ending the pandemic.

Myth: “Once I get the vaccine, I won’t have to wear a mask or worry about social distancing.”

Fact: Even if you get the vaccine, you should continue to wear a mask around others, wash your hands and practice physical distancing. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that both of the authorized vaccines require two doses given three to four weeks apart to achieve the best possible immunity. When you get your first shot, you don’t become immediately immune. It takes at least a week to 10 days for your body to begin to develop antibodies, and then those antibodies continue to increase over the next several weeks. The second is that these vaccines were developed and tested for their ability to prevent severe illness and death from COVID-19. It’s not clear whether they also protect against asymptomatic infection and spread.

Myth: “Now that we have vaccines, the pandemic will be over very soon.”

Fact: In order to achieve what’s called herd immunity — the point at which the disease is no longer likely to spread — about 70 percent of the population will need to have been vaccinated or infected. But the companies that make these vaccines can only make so many at a time, so the vaccines will be distributed in phases with priority given to people with greatest need. They may not be widely available to the general public for several months.

Myth: “This vaccine contains egg protein.”

Fact: While most conventional vaccines — including the flu shot — are made with egg protein, the coronavirus vaccine has no trace of nuts, eggs or any food.

Myth: “The vaccine can create serious side effects.”

Fact: According to the FDA’s report, 84 percent of any adverse reactions among participants included pain at the injection site. Additionally, 62 percent of participant reactions were fatigue, 55 percent included a headache and less than 40 percent included muscle pain, chills, joint pain and fever.

Severe adverse reactions occurred in less than 4.6 percent of participants.

Myth: “This vaccine could make women infertile.”

Fact: There is no indication whatsoever that this vaccine would affect the fertility of females.

Myth: “The vaccine will protect us from COVID permanently.”

Fact: The vaccine has only been around for three or four months since it came off the line. Since the virus has been around for about one year, what we don’t know yet is how durable that effect is.

Multiple mutations already may imply need for future boosters.

If you have more questions about the vaccine, talk with your trusted healthcare provider or look to reliable sources, including www.cdc.gov or www.who.int.

Why you need a podiatrist Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Almost 10 percent of people in this country have diabetes. That’s why it is important to understand the two PREVENTION types of diabetes, their risk factors and how diabetes can affect the feet. It also is crucial to create a diabetic health care team of specialists – including a podiatrist – if you are diagnosed with diabetes.

Diabetes risk factors Type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes develops because the pancreas produces insufficient or no insulin. Risk factors include genes, age, family, certain viruses or environmental factors.

With Type 2 diabetes, the body loses the ability to metabolize sugar. Some Type 2 diabetics become resistant to insulin. Others can’t produce enough insulin. Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include genetics as well as obesity and living a sedentary lifestyle.

Diabetic foot complications Diabetics can end up losing toes or feet to amputation because high blood sugar levels and poor circulation, combined with

nerve damage and infections, increase the risk for non-healing diabetic foot ulcers.

Other foot complications include neuropathy and Charcot foot. Neuropathy is nerve damage that causes tingling, numbness and pain in the hands and feet. Charcot foot is a deformity that develops when nerve damage to the foot or ankle contributes to the breakdown of joints.

Adding a podiatrist to your care team To prevent complications of the feet, diabetics should check their feet every day, look for any rough skin, red patches, blisters or nicks and cuts. They also should check between the toes and use a mirror (or ask for help) to check the backs and bottoms of their feet. Any problems should be checked right away to prevent small injuries from turning into ulcers.

Carmel resident host of ‘Noggin Knows’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Emmanuel Carter first heard he had an audition for a variety TV show, he had no idea it was for TELEVISION Noggin, a learning app from Nick Jr. “Fast forward a couple weeks after that, I found out that not only had I booked the show, but they had changed the entire format of the show because of my audition,” the Carmel resident said. “The way the show is now is, it’s a music-based show.

We teach the children about different subjects through song and dance. Originally, it was supposed to be more akin to ‘Reading Rainbow’ and ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,’ but because I added musical elements to my audition, they rewrote the entire thing.”

The decision was made by ViacomCBS to place the production in Indiana to keep Carter safe and adhere to COVID-19 protocols, he said.

“I was proud of that because I always try to champion bringing more artistic work to Indiana because there are so many people here that are so talented,” he said. “But because of the stigma of Indiana not being an entertainment Mecca, it’s quite often overlooked.”

“Noggin Knows” made its debut Jan. 4 on the Noggin app. A total of five episodes were filmed at the East 91st Street Church in Indianapolis.

“We filmed five episodes over four days, so it was an incredible amount of work,” Carter said.

Carter wrote all of the episodic songs for the show, except for the theme song.

“We aimed for preschoolers but we put material up for children up to 10 could enjoy as well,” he said. “My class is filled with popular Nick Jr. (animated) characters as my students. We have special guests who explain their profession.”

Carter said the show should eventually be shown on Nick Jr. He said it is slated to shoot Season 2 in February, but he hasn’t received the official word.

“The response from the first show was crazy positive,” he said.

‘Classics in Context’ “Classics in Context: Where are the Women?” will present Laura Colgate, a violinist and co-founder of Boulanger Initiative, for a Zoom discussion at 7 p.m. Jan. 20 examining why the classical music industry is not inclusive of women. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Actors Theatre of Indiana Carmel resident Emmanuel Carter appears with Nick Jr. characters in a TV show for preschoolers.

(Submitted photos)

Carter, 33, a Broad Ripple High School graduate, has lived in Carmel for four years. He started acting professionally approximately five years ago and it became a full-time pursuit in 2017.

“I decided to take the leap of faith,” he said. “I was miserable having this dream in the back of my head but not really being able to do anything about it because I was doing something else I didn’t really want to do.”

Carter said his wife, Stephanie, told him he should quit his other job and concentrate on acting.

Carter said he always wanted to pursue a different path than most actors.

“There is the same old story you hear from actors coming out who say they got their headshots, went out for auditions and did everything by the books,” he said.

“I wanted to be like nobody else. I try to make my photos a lot different than what anyone is doing. The way I sent in videos was a lot different. I got a lot of commercial work. It’s pretty cool.

“Last year, my agent told me I had surpassed the number of commercials any other actor in Indiana had worked in.”

Indiana to get more work.

“After I got my agent Courtney (Stump) with Lily’s Talent, that’s when the bigger things started to happen,” he said. “I went from doing commercials to doing TV show roles.”

Carter appeared in “Soundtrack” in the Netflix series.

“The commercial work went from being regional to more national commercial work,” he said.

Carter also made appearances on “Fatal Attraction,” a TV One series, and on “Murder Chose Me” on Investigation Discovery.

“I played a villain on ‘Murder Chose Me,’ which was new for me,” he said.

Indianapolis-based 800 lb.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 310 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Grilled cheese Price: $7 Anna’s take: The Eagle is a downtown Indianapolis restaurant with a chicken-heavy menu, including chicken sandwiches and whole, half- or quarter-fried chicken, among other items. Everything is a la carte, but side items come in hefty portions. I tried the grilled cheese (I’m not a fried chicken person), which was deliciously rich with three types of cheese along with apricot preserves, Granny Smith apples and rustic bread. The bread resembled Texas toast. It was so rich I couldn’t finish the entire sand-

wich. That, and the fact I scarfed down a side of homemade biscuits ($4) that comes with several biscuits, blackberry jam and honey butter. I’m celebrating Dry January, which means I’m abstaining from alcohol this month, and probably longer, because let’s face it, we all need a healthy start this year. However, if you are not adhering to Dry January, The Eagle has a cocktail menu that includes, among other items, old fashioneds and bourbon punch.

Repurposing Hamburg’s Bismarck Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel An imposing statue of Otto von Bismarck in Hamburg, Germany, is the world’s largest memorial to the man rememTRAVEL bered for unifying Germany. It was recently repurposed as a commentary on current events.

In 1862, Prussian King Wilhelm I made Bismarck his chief minister, with wide-ranging powers. During a war against France that Bismarck provoked and won, Bismarck sought the aid of the independent states of the German Confederation and succeeded in combining those states with Prussia into a unified German Empire in 1871. Bismarck governed the empire with such authority that he was known as the “Iron Chancellor”

until he was removed by Kaiser (Emperor) Wilhelm II in 1890. Bismarck died on July 30, 1898 and was interred on the eastern outskirts of Hamburg. Three days after Bismarck’s death, the mayor of Hamburg made a public appeal for a memorial to Bismarck and soon raised 400,000 gold marks from Hamburg’s leading (and wealthy) citizens. A committee sponsored a design competition, and construction of the winning design began in 1902 on a hill overlooking Hamburg’s harbor. When completed in 1906, the granite monument, featuring Bismarck standing atop a circular plinth, was 115 feet tall and weighed more than 600 tons. For reasons that are still unclear, the monument included a network of catacombs beneath the plinth, used as an air raid shelter during World War II. Not everyone today sees Bismarck in the same glowing light as did Hamburg’s patricians. Some have accused Bismarck of being anti-Semitic and anti-labor. In May 2015 (when I happened to be in Hamburg), Viennese artists used a crane to place a 10foot aluminum and plastic ibex on the top of Bismarck’s head that they called “Capricorn Two,” saying that they were protesting the

rising “Bismarck cult” of German nationalism. The ibex remained on Bismarck’s head until Aug. 2, 2015.
