Should Luciani decide to assume the role any time in the next four years, Crum would relinquish the position, Ottinger said, and Luciani would become the county auditor.

Typically, Ottinger said, elected officials are sworn sometime in early December, during a formal ceremony. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a ceremony was not held last year.

All newly elected officials were sworn in and filed necessary paperwork by Jan. 1, when they took office, except for Luciani.

“Debbie Crum has remained steadfast in executing her duties as county auditor, and we have full faith that she will continue that dedication during the next four years,” Ottinger stated.

Luciani didn’t respond to a request to comment.

ZYSA to begin spring season with new COVID-19 protocols By: Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Youth Soccer Association was forced to end its spring season last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But this YOUTH SPORTS year, the association believes it can offer a safe spring season, thanks to new safety protocols.

Dan Kapsalis, the ZYSA’s director of coaching, said the association was able to coordinate with the Boone County Health Kapsalis Dept. and other county officials to safely offer a fall season for children in 2020.

“The good thing about going into this particular season is we have a season under our belts,” Kapsalis said. “We’ve got great experience from what we did last fall, and we’re pretty much going to piggyback off that this spring for the kids.”

The organization’s spring season practices begin March 29. Games start April 17. Registration is open to boys and girls of all skill levels, ages 5 to 18. The deadline to register at zysa.org for an early discount is March 1. The season will end by Memorial Day weekend.

The association expects to have between 700 and 800 recreational players participate during the spring season.

When accounting for parents, grandparents and other spectators, the association expects more than 1,000 people to attend or participate in games each weekend.

Kapsalis said ZYSA administrators communicate weekly with county health officials to adhere to the BCHD’s latest recommendations and guidance. This spring, the association will require all spectators to wear face masks, and players will be required to wear masks onto the field and will only be allowed to remove them when they are playing.

“We have lines on the sidelines that are set up so that the families are staying 6 feet apart,” Kapsalis said. “They have certain areas they can sit in on every field, so (that)

Tom Roush Mazda Your Local Dealer Since 1972 Dealer Since 1972 Your Your Local Local Dealer Since 1972

they can sit as a family, but the next family is 6 to 8 feet away. We are putting sideline markers to make sure people are socially distant. When the kids bring their water bottles and their bags, we make sure the coaches put those bags and water bottles 6 feet apart on the sideline.”

The ZYSA also uses a cleaning solution to spray common areas, such as bathrooms and concession areas on an almost hourly basis, Kapsalis said.

During the fall season, Kapsalis said the ZYSA reported only one COVID-19 case, which was an adult, showing the effectiveness of the association’s safety measures.

“When this first came out last spring, we were very nervous, and we shut down,” Kapsalis said. “We canceled the spring season. We’re 42 years old. That’s never happened before. As we’ve gone through this, and there’s more information, and there’s more protocols and more testing going on, we’ve found the parents have loved the fact we are offering some type of normalcy and some type of activities for these kids.”

Mayor, town council agree on safety board

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron and the Zionsville Town Council have announced new appointments PUBLIC SAFETY to town boards, commissions and committees, and the council unanimously adopted an ordinance to reestablish the town’s safety board after the two parties disagreed on its language late last year.

During the town council’s Feb. 1 meeting, Styron, a Democrat, and town council members, who are all Republicans, said they were able to work in collaboration to create an ordinance to reestablish a town safety board that both parties agreed with.

The safety board “effectively mirrors what the board of police commissioners does,” Zionsville Town Council President Josh Garrett said during the meeting. “It is a five-member panel of three councilors and two civilians that are the disciplinary oversight for our fire department.”

One exception between the two boards, however, is that the board of police commissioners requires political balance among its members, while the safety board doesn’t have the same requirement, according to the town council’s legal council, Heather Willey.

Safety board members haven’t been announced. Garrett said there were some “pending issues” with the ordinance that required the council to wait until its Feb. 15 to address.

Garrett said the last time Styron and the council addressed the topic publicly it was “perhaps a little more contentious.” The council unanimously voted during an Oct. 19, 2020, meeting to uphold Styron’s veto of an ordinance to establish a safety board. Styron said the move likely prevented litigation between the council and the mayor’s administration, as she questioned the legality of the proposed ordinance as it was written at the time.

Styron said she appreciated the council’s continued work on reestablishing the safety board.

“It has taken out some components we talked about (and) I had some issues with,” Styron said. “This document is perfect. It gives us a tool we desperately need.”

While the town waits to name members of the safety board, Styron made eight new appointments to the town’s various boards, commissions and committees. The town council made six new appointments.

When making appointments, one of Styron’s priorities was to include more women and add more diversity to the town roles.

Through the recently formed Use of Force Review Board, the Zionsville Community Enrichment Grant Committee and the Pedestrian Mobility Advisory Committee, the town has “the most diverse group of citizens participating in municipal government policy and programs,” according to a press release.

“We recognize that diversity within our town’s boards, commissions and committees is critical to ensure town policies and programs serve people of every race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion and ability,” Styron stated.

All appointments are for one-year terms with the exception of park board (four-year term for town council appointments, oneyear term for mayoral appointments); the park and road impact fee review board (fiveyear term); the plan commission (four-year term); the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Library Board (four-year term); the board of zoning appeals (four-year term); and the board of police commissioners (three-year term after initial term).

Mayoral new appointments: • Chris Lake to the plan commission • Chris Lake to the Board of Zoning Appeals • Amanda Cecil to the Economic Development Commission • Jacklyn Spillane to the Community Development Corporation • Janet Campbell Baker, Jennifer Cross and Wendy Schrepferman to the Zionsville Community Enrichment Grant Committee • Kenneth Johnson to the Use of Force Board* Town Council new appointments: • Mark McDonald and Quincy Cunningham to the Pathway Committee • Michael Rinebold to the Union Township Building Corporation • Scott Condes and Ed Thomas to the Zionsville Community Enrichment Committee • Craig Melton to the Boone EDC

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: Madelyn has always had a love for tennis, but after injuring her ankle, she struggled to get back on the court without experiencing pain. “I went to several other doctors for treatment but it was not getting better,” said Madelyn. With hopes of making the tennis team at Fishers High School as a freshman, Madelyn knew it was time to seek another opinion.

Madelyn Barron is a freshman at Fishers High School.

WHY MSM: “Everyone at MSM has been so nice and helpful,” said Madelyn. “Each physical therapist makes every session individualized to the limitations that I may be feeling that day. The best part is that I can now play without pain!”

THE JOURNEY: After a year of dealing with ongoing ankle pain, Madelyn saw Dr. Arthur Rettig for a second opinion. Dr. Rettig recommended that Madelyn rest in a boot for a month before starting the rehab process. Melissa Schnepp, ATC/PTA, developed a personalized plan for Madelyn’s recovery process.

“Treatments ranged from hands on manual therapy techniques to decrease pain and improve mobility in her joint, to higher level strengthening and sport specific activities,” said Melissa.

Madelyn receives therapy at the MSM Finch Creek location where she has access to basketball courts and turf space during rehab that mimics the feel of the court during game play. During her rehab sessions, Madelyn continues to push hard to reach her goals and to get back to the sport that she loves.

THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Arthur Rettig, Upper Extremities Specialist, and Melissa Schnepp, Certified Athletic Trainer/Physical Therapist Assistant.

WMPD officers injured in multiple-vehicle crash news@currentinzionsville.com.

PROTECTION YOU CAN TRUST, FROM THE FAMILY THAT CARES!

A white sedan traveling northbound on Interstate 65 Feb. 9 struck a Whitestown Metropolitan Police Dept. vehicle, which resulted in multiple secondary crashes.

(Submitted photo)

Two Whitestown Metropolitan Police Dept. officers were injured Feb. 9 after a car struck a WMPD patrol INVESTIGATION vehicle and caused a multiple-vehicle crash early in the morning.

At approximately 1 a.m., three WMPD officers conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 65. During the stop and roadside investigation, a white sedan traveling northbound struck a WMPD vehicle, which resulted in multiple secondary crashes, all involving police vehicles at the scene.

Two WMPD officers, the driver of the suspect vehicle and the passenger of the vehicle that was initially stopped were all transported to area hospitals for moderate to severe injuries. One WMPD officer was treated on the scene.

One of the injured officers was released later in the morning with a minor concussion, and the other injured officer sustained a bone fracture and whiplash and was re-

leased later that night. All officers involved were at home, recovering, as of Feb. 12.

“We feel very fortunate that our officers and other occupants were not more seriously injured during this thoughtless act,” WMPD Chief Scott Rolston stated. “Putting a stop to this kind of driving behavior is the primary reason WMPD remains proactive with its traffic enforcement. Please slow down, move over for emergency vehicles, and don’t drink and drive. Thank you to the community for your thoughts and prayers.”

The Boone County Fatal Alcohol Crash Team is investigating the incident. The WMPD believes alcohol was likely a contributing factor.

Doctor donates to ZEF in memory of parents news@currentinzionsville.com.

The Zionsville Education Foundation has awarded $19,717.87 in grants to five Zionsville Community Schools eleGRANTS mentary music teachers.

The grants were made possible by a donation from Dr. Erik Streib in memory of his late parents, William and Kirsten Streib.

Erik stated that the donation to ZEF was a meaningful way to honor his parents for supporting him.

“In looking back, I was very fortunate to have a series of opportunities in school and some wonderful music teachers that truly helped shape my education, work ethic, leadership development, socialization and appreciation for the arts,” Erik stated.

“While I am not a career musician today, I wanted to ensure that today’s ZCS students have these same opportunities.”

The ZEF Elementary Music Grants were awarded to the five ZCS elementary music teachers: Joe Budd, Will Doublestein, Rebecca Hampton, Emily Zucker and Sean Shanley.

The grants will provide funding for materials needed in each school, such as Tubano drums to expand new curriculum opportunities; adaptive mallets or ukulele straps to make learning more accessible for students; and materials to promote learning through music and movement.

“Gifts like the one from Dr. Streib make a true impact in our schools and our community,” ZEF Executive Director Lyle Browne stated. “We are extremely grateful for his thoughtful generosity to ZEF in support of elementary music education in our schools.”

ZEF worked collaboratively with the music educators at each school to fund resources that will provide an immediate benefit during pandemic-related social distancing guidelines and also have an impact for years to come.

“Dr. Streib’s gift enabled ZCS elementary music teachers to dream big for their students,” ZEF Grants Committee Chair Jane Louiso stated. “They were able to take a holistic look at their programs and, through these materials, implement some of the creative ideas they have for student learning.”

Ben Weir had never thought of buying an electric car.

“I just wasn’t with the craze,” CARS he said. “But I’ve always been a huge Ford fan, specifically Mustang. So, when they decided to build this electric car and use the Mustang heritage, I became interested. I started reading more about it.”

Weir, a Carmel resident and Current Publishing Inc. general manager, vice president and partner, picked up his 2021 Mustang Mach-E First Edition Feb. 1 from Pearson Ford in Zionsville. The First Edition models cost approximately $59,000. Buyers receive a $7,500 federal tax credit by purchasing an electric car.

Phil Mattingly, marketing coordinator for Pearson Ford, said Weir likely received the first Mach-E First Edition in the Indianapolis area.

The First Edition sold out several months ago with pre-orders.

“I was still a little skeptical before I went to get it, but since having it, I absolutely love it,” said Weir, who worked at Pearson Ford before joining Current Publishing in 2020. “The technology is amazing in it. The pickup is better than I thought it would be.

It’s a fast car.”

Weir said he charges the car each night.

The total radius is approximately 200 miles on a full charge on a standard battery, Weir said.

Weir said it’s a stylish, fast option for the electric SUV market that doesn’t cost $100,000 like some Tesla models. A Mustang Mach-E GT model will come out later this year, which will cost approximately $61,000.

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 cross-street, 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.

Project: CR 400 S. widening Location: The project is partially funded by developer-provided funds, and completes a widening of CR 400 S. from CR 875 E. to CR 800 E. The road is expected to close to through traffic, but closure dates have not been announced.

Expected completion: Spring 2021

Project: CR 500 S. widening Location: The project is similar to the CR 400 S. project in that it widens and resurfaces CR 500 S. from CR 875 E. to approximately 0.4 miles west.

A full road closure is anticipated.

Expected completion: Summer 2021

CONSTRUCTION

WESTFIELD Project: Jersey Street Location: From Union Street to Mill Street Expected completion: Jersey Street will be closed for the remainder of the Grand Junction Plaza construction.

Project: Grand Junction Plaza Location: The parking lot west of Union Street and south of Main Street Expected completion: The gravel parking lot on the east end of Park Street is permanently closed as the Grand Junction Plaza is moving into the construction phase. Parking is available on the west end of Park Street.

Project: East Street extension Location: East Street is being extended north from 196th Street to Ind. 38. Utility relocations are ongoing.

Hoosiers in high-risk groups wait their turn as state follows age-based COVID-19 vaccinations

By Ann Marie Shambaugh and Janelle Morrison For Lauren Alexander, the wait for the COVID-19 vaccine has felt especially long.

After being diagnosed with a rare form PANDEMIC of lymphoma in 2017, the 33-year-old Carmel resident underwent 60 cycles of radiation to her chest, leaving her immunocompromised and resulting in damage to her lungs.

Both of those long-term effects could make her more susceptible to a severe case of COVID-19, a disease that is particularly dangerous for the elderly but also can wreak havoc on younger people with certain conditions.

That knowledge is with Alexander each day as she heads to work as franchise director at dog-care facility Camp Bow Wow in Carmel, a job impossible to do from home.

“I am now approximately 18 months cancer-free, but I will struggle to regain normal lung function long-term,” Alexander said. “If I get (COVID-19), it’s going to be a huge problem. If I could be vaccinated, that would give me peace of mind. I am not opening my lobby up until I get vaccinated. So, until I get (vaccinated), I won’t be able to do business as usual.”

Alexander is but one of millions of Hoosiers with medical conditions or jobs that — according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — could put them near the top of the queue for a COVID-19 vaccine. But in Indiana, the state thus far has deviated from the CDC’s advice and primarily taken an age-based approach, opening up the vaccine only to those 65 and older as well as health care workers, first responders and residents of long-term care facilities.

State officials said their strategy has been to vaccinate people most likely to be hospitalized or die from the disease, with age being the strongest contributing factor. In Indiana, those 60 and older have accounted for 22.5 percent of COVID-19 cases and nearly 93 percent of deaths. Those 80 and older make up 4.6 percent of all cases and nearly 53 percent of deaths.

Gov. Eric Holcomb said Feb. 3 that 78,000 Hoosiers died in 2020. On average, the annual total is about 66,000. The higher 2020 total includes approximately 11,000 COVID-19 deaths.

“How do we reduce those deaths that otherwise probably would’ve been more consistent (with past years)?” Holcomb said.

Holcomb “That’s where we’re starting. How do we save lives, and who is most at risk, and then we’ll work our way down to the most healthy, strapping 17-year-old that wants (the vaccine).”

According to a database compiled by the New York Times, as of Feb. 9, Indiana and all of its neighboring states have given

at least one dose of the vaccine to between 8.8 and 9.4 percent of its residents, with 67 to 78 percent of received doses used (although Indiana was at the low end of both).

WEIGHING THE RISKS

As the pandemic rages on, so does the pressure to begin vaccinating other groups, such as those with comorbidities, teachers and essential workers. All of Indiana’s neighboring states have begun vaccinating teachers, and Ohio is vaccinating people with certain severe congenital and developmental disorders.

“I think there’s many ways to slice this,” said Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins University. “It’s not obviously wrong to do it one way or another (as long as) there is a good faith effort to stick to these priority groups.”

State Sen. J.D. Ford has been helping to lead a push to expand eligibility to teachers, but he’d like to see other high-risk groups added, as well.

“Why can’t we have an ‘and’ rather than an ‘or’ situation where we’re vaccinating first responders, health care workers, folks in assisted care facilities, teachers, comorbidities and people of color — who we know are experiencing a very high rate of COVID-19 positivity rates?” said Ford, adding that he plans to address the issue with state decision makers.

According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a CDC committee that provides guidance on vaccines, after health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities, the vaccine should be available to those 75 and older and non-health care front-line essential workers, such as grocery store employees and teachers. In the next phase, it recommends adding those ages 65 to 74, those 16 to 64 with

comorbidities and the remaining essential workers.

Adalja said some entities that strictly followed the CDC guidance ended up throwing away vaccine doses at the end of the day, which doesn’t benefit anyone. He said an age-based approach simplifies the process and provides the vaccine for the largest at-risk population, which also covers many people with comorbidities.

He said a COVID-19 diagnosis isn’t as dangerous for younger people with certain comorbidities compared to a case in an older person.

“A 30-year-old asthmatic is less likely to be admitted (to the hospital). They might have a tough course at home, but they may not require hospitalization,” Adalja said. “But if you’re a 68-year-old person, even if you’re in good health, you may end up being hospitalized at a higher rate.”

Hamilton County Health Dept. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Christian Walker said using an age-based approach has ensured that everyone who receives the vaccine is a high-risk individual. He said opening up vaccine eligibility beyond age groups while the vaccine is scarce would make it easier for lowrisk Hoosiers to claim certain conditions and jump the line.

“I want to believe people are honest, but by the same token, I’ve got to safeguard the vaccine and the integrity of the process,” he said.

It might not be much longer, however, before state officials expand vaccine eligibility beyond age groups to those with certain medical conditions.

“When the age risk starts to equal the risk of a particular comorbidity, that is how we are starting to add those comorbidities in,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Kristina Box said Feb. 3.

At a Feb. 10 press conference, Box said the next phase will be opening vaccines to those 60 and older, followed by those between 50 and 59 years old along with younger people on dialysis or those that have Down syndrome, sickle cell disease, organ transplant recipients and those actively being treated for cancer.

‘WE JUST NEED MORE VACCINES’

States are not required to follow the CDC’s recommendations, but in Indiana counties must heed the state’s guidelines.

Walker said local health officials are invited to provide input for the vaccination plan but that decisions are made at the state level. He said HCHD has a bit of leeway if unused vaccine remains at the end of the day but that every effort is made to provide it to someone who is eligible per state guidelines.

“We do try to stay within the confines as much as we can,” Walker said. “I don’t know that we’ve ever really strayed very far from (the state committee’s) guidelines as far as who is authorized and who’s not.”

In Boone County, however, people with certain qualifications

— such as chronic kidney disease, obesity, heart conditions and smokers — can be added to a waitlist to be notified if excess vaccine is available. Boone County Health Dept. RN Administrator Lisa Younts said the ISDH in early February authorized but did not require counties to create vaccine waitlists.

When Indiana lowered the vaccine age limit from 70 to 65, an additional 375,000 Hoosiers became eligible. With the state receiving 100,000 doses a week, it will take nearly a month to vaccinate the entire age group.

HCHD has been receiving 1,200 doses per week and has been told it will start receiving 1,600 doses per week later this month or early March. It has the space and resources to administer 3,600 doses per week; it’s only lacking the vaccine.

The same is true for Boone County, which receives 1,300 vaccine doses per week, a number guaranteed through the end of this month.

“We are ready to ramp up and give as many vaccines as we’re allocated,” Younts said. “We’re ready to go. We just need more vaccines.”

The Fishers Health Dept., one of only a handful of municipal health departments in Indiana, did not respond to a request for comment.

Online vaccine appointments through the state’s portal are booked through late March. If additional supply becomes available, appointments will be added, but only for those already eligible.

And for those who aren’t, the wait — and uncertainty — continues.

For Bob Goodman, 62, and his wife, Rose-Marie, 63, owners of Robert Goodman Jewelers in Zionsville, each day at work comes with concern about contracting COVID-19. The shop’s only two employees, Bob has a compromised immune system and Rose-Marie is asthmatic. Staying home isn’t an option.

“If we have to shut down because Rose-Marie or I have tested positive, there’s going to be a significant problem,” Bob said. “And there’s a stigma that goes with it when you shut down (due to COVID-19).”

WHO IS ELIGIBLE? In Indiana, the vaccine is available for health care workers, first responders and those older than 65.

HOW DO I PAY FOR THE VACCINE? The vaccine is free, although those with insurance are asked to provide that information. The vaccine provider may bill the insurance company, but there will be no cost to the patient receive the vaccine. Those without insurance will receive the vaccine for free.

WHICH VACCINE IS USED IN HAMILTON COUNTY? The Hamilton County Health Dept. is only using the Moderna vaccine, but some other sites are using Pfizer’s vaccine. Both require two doses and have efficacy rates near 95 percent.

HOW LONG DOES A VACCINE APPOINTMENT TAKE? Those receiving the vaccine are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled appointment. The appointment consists of a check-in process, vaccination and 15- to 30-minute observation period after receiving the vaccine. The entire process takes less than an hour.

WILL I RECEIVE PROOF OF VACCINATION? Yes, those vaccinated will receive a card that confirms the dates of the first and second vaccination doses.

Online: coronavirus.in.gov/ vaccine/index.htm

WILL THESE VACCINES WORK AGAINST DIFFERENT VARIANTS OF THE VIRUS? Maybe. Research studies are under way that show the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may work against new variants, but more clinical data is needed.

Call 866-211-5320 to schedule Kroger appts. ONLY. (Do not call 211.)

Online: clinic.meijer.com

HOW LONG WILL THE VACCINE PROTECT ME? Clinical trials are being conducted to see how long immunity from the vaccines lasts.

WHEN WILL HERD IMMUNITY OCCUR? Herd immunity is expected to occur when 70 percent of the state’s population has been vaccinated. Less than 10 percent of the population has been vaccinated.

Mayor challenges accusations regarding establishing a vaccination clinic in Zionsville

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com After refuting claims that she had not collaborated with county officials to establish a COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Zionsville, Mayor Emily Styron said she did not plan to contact Tom Santelli, president of the Board of Boone County Commissioners.

“I don’t have any plans to talk to the commissioner,” said Styron, a Democrat. “I think he has an opportunity to clear up some of his misstatements, and I welcome that if he chooses to do so.”

During the Zionsville Town Council’s Feb. 1 meeting, Santelli, a Republican, gave a presentation to update the council on the county’s efforts to identify additional sites for COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Currently, Witham Health Services and the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds are the only sites in Boone County where residents can get a vaccination, with the exception of some private companies, which have limited supplies.

Witham and the fairgrounds are in Lebanon. Santelli said county officials have identified potential clinics at two sites in Lebanon and at Traders Point Christian Church in Whitestown.

However, due to the limited number of doses, county officials said they don’t plan to open another county-run clinic until more doses are available. The clinic at the fairgrounds is administering approximately 1,300 vaccinations a day and has the capacity to administer 2,600 a day, county officials said, meaning they would not consider opening another clinic until the fairgrounds location has reached capacity.

Council members asked Santelli why a facility in Zionsville wasn’t being considered as a potential vaccination clinic. He said he tried to call Styron on multiple occasions to speak with her directly about the matter but with no success. He said other mayors in Boone County responded quickly to his attempts to contact them.

Styron, however, said she has been involved in talks with the BCHD to identify a potential clinic in Zionsville. She said Santelli tried to call her once and didn’t leave a voicemail.

Santelli is a member of the Boone County Unified Command, which is composed of members from the Boone County Health Dept. and the county commissioners and the county’s health officer and other county officials involved with making county-level decisions with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic. The BCHD offers recommendations to the unified command to determine which potential sites could be used as clinics.

During the council’s Feb. 1 meeting, Santelli said Styron, rather than speak with him directly, directed him to a contact within the unified command’s structure, Whitestown Fire Dept. Chief Josh Westrich, who serves as the Boone County fire service representative in the unified command.

She also appointed Zionsville’s EMS manager, Kerry O’Haver, as the point of contact on behalf of the Town of Zionsville for the matters Santelli inquired about. Santelli said Westrich did not identify a facility that could be used as a vaccination clinic.

Styron maintained she has been in regular talks with the BCHD and county officials regarding a potential Zionsville vaccine clinic and the county’s ongoing COVID-19 response, which BCHD and other county officials confirmed. Styron said Santelli was not directly involved in any of her conversations with BCHD officials regarding a potential clinic in Zionsville.

But Styron did not want to say where the clinic might be, and she refuted Santelli’s claim that by not identifying a potential clinic, the county might miss the chance to receive additional vaccine doses that would otherwise be sent to other counties. Santelli cited a recent instance where the county was approached by the state to set up a mobile, state-run vaccination clinic that likely would have operated for one or two days, but the county was unable to provide a site. BCHD officials said the county was unable to provide a site for the mobile clinic due to issues with making a leasing agreement for a facility on short notice and that the mobile clinics would not provide additional immunizations or increase the county’s vaccine allotment.

“I have worked diligently and daily on behalf of the Town of Zionsville to address COVID-19 and get our community at the forefront of moving beyond this,” Styron said.

BCHD officials said when the state receives an allotment of vaccines from the federal government, it distributes it among five districts based on population. The central district, which includes Boone County, receives slightly more because of the number of residents living in Marion County.

Haughton said the allotment for the district, and therefore the county, would not increase unless more doses are sent to Indiana by the federal government. If another vaccination site was opened, the BCHD would need to split its weekly allotment to cover both sites and offer fewer vaccinations at its clinic at the county fairgrounds.

“It seems inappropriate to confuse the public, and what I have been really trying to do is not give false information or preliminary information publicly because I don’t want anyone confused,” Styron said. “We are waiting as a state for more vaccines to arrive.

“At this time, we are getting all the shots that we can get, and they are being delivered to people at the one location we have. Until we get more vaccines, we are not moving them to new locations, but Zionsville does have a location.”

If needed, Styron assures Zionsville can and will establish vaccine clinics for its residents.

Santelli said he would continue to try to contact Styron regarding county planning in response to the pandemic.

“There are a lot of things that we need to do to move forward,” Santelli said. “There are hundreds of thousands of people dying.”

Update overload

Trump must be held accountable

Commentary by Terry Anker “It is time for an update,” our computers, smartphones and other electronic devices bark. Like some finger-wagging curmudgeon, they seem to be telling us that we’ve not kept up! What if we don’t have time to install? What if we like things the way they are? Our Silicon Valley overlords assure us that they have our best interests at heart. This revision, it is promised, will make us more safe, secure and happy. All good things come in this update.

Mention of how the new version will likely conflict with everything from our other applications to the 4-year-oldprinter that we’d like to keep because it took us three hours and seven calls to the help desk to set up is noticeably absent from the spin. Sure, the downsides, along with a detailed description of how the edition will enhance our “shopping preferences” by keeping tabs on everything we do, are all extensively covered on Pages 47 through 53 of the fine-print manual that falls somewhere below the convenient agree button.

If we don’t upgrade, they warn, the world may stop spinning and the stars could fall from the sky. So, we endure the blue screens and conflict errors, the demands for reboot and the notices that our favorite features are no longer available. The sea of social media rises up in complaint. Quickly, the Gates or Zuckerbergs cut a check to some fad of a social cause and deflect the attention from their own failings, a million dollars here in getting people not to care about the new ad-bot in their software that will make them billions more in a year.

Still, some of the new features are terrific. Aren’t they mostly? Interfaces are better, faster and more intuitive than ever. Do they really know better?

Let’s hope not.

An opinionated note to haters Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve been receiving some truly fantastic hate mail lately from readers who call my opinions, get this, opinionated, HUMOR and who feel I’m unfit to be a teacher (actually, that email went straight to the school board!). Alas, it’s time for my biannual disclosure piece.

Enjoy! Or don’t. Whatevs.

First, my classification. Because I generally “comment” on my teenagers’ inherent desires to see me on blood pressure meds, my columns are labeled “commentary.” Even when I discuss the obscene amount of hours I waste at dance competitions and Cloroxing dog poo out of carpet, I’m technically just offering my opinion on the matters at hand. I rarely address politics because I can only focus on so many things at once, like keeping my family COVID-19-free and the fridge dairyfull, but when I do, I’m offering my opinion. In the opinion section. Deal with it.

This leads me to the next accusation that I’m unfit to be in a classroom setting

because, apparently, I’m an emotionally unstable, pre-menopausal, raging alcoholic.

It’s called “keepin’ it real,” folks. I share my occasional low points publicly to ensure that other non-Super Moms feel less alone in this supposedly perfect suburban bubble we’re all trying to navigate. Do I have days when teaching feels impossible? Absolutely, especially when I’m juggling a hundred remote and in-person learners and Zoom crashes. But the kids will never know it because I’m a professional, and the lessons, like the show, must go on.

Bottom line? I’m not here to change the world, but simply to impart observations on surviving middle age, 2020 PTSD and K-pop.

So, can we cease and desist with the hatemail? At least until August? Peace out.

Editor, Indiana Sens. Mike Braun and Todd Young must not hide behind an argument that it is too late to hold former President Trump culpable for his actions while president. He must be held accountable, convicted and disqualified from holding office in the future. The Constitution is crystal clear about the impeachment process, as the House impeachment leaders thoroughly illustrated in the opening day of the trial.

The future of our great democracy depends on integrity. I urge our senators to stop excusing Trump’s reprehensible behavior in fomenting insurrection.

Spine muscles typically cause of back pain Column by Dr. Michael McCarthy Determining the exact cause of back pain can be difficult and at times frustrating for those suffering from VIEWPOINT severe, chronic back pain.

However, the majority of back pain symptoms typically result from sprain/strain of the muscles that surround the spine, degeneration or arthritis of the spine, herniated discs, lumbar stenosis and/ or fractures. For some, back pain can result

from multiple areas and isolating the main source of pain is the first step in finding relief.

Recent research has highlighted a significant link between abdominal muscle dysfunction and low back injuries. There has been a significant shift of clinical focus on the importance of core muscle strengthening, specifically the abdominal muscles, and the relationship with recurring back pain.

Altered abdominal musculature, whether from deconditioning or obesity, clearly has

a role in how we think about the prevention of back pain. Core strengthening exercises should be tailored for individual patients and providers should quickly recognize those patients with underlying diagnoses that preclude them from this therapy.

When back pain becomes more severe, lasts more than a couple of days or even a week or results in numbness/tingling in the arms, buttocks, thighs or legs, then one should seek medical attention.

The majority of patients that present

with back pain will never need surgery.

Advances in new image technology and treatment options have expanded providers the ability to address back pain with nonsurgical options.

Dr. Michael McCarthy sees patients in Lebanon, Whitestown, Carmel and Crawfordsville. He volunteers as an assistant professor of clinical orthopedic surgery at Indiana University, educating residents and fellows on spine pathology and spine surgery.

Massive $135 million project coming to Whitestown news@currentinzionsville.com The Town of Whitestown has announced plans for a $135 million development project that will include DEVELOPMENT a youth sports environment, hotel, water park, housing, retail space and other amenities.

The project will include the development of the former Wrecks Inc. automobile junkyard along Indianapolis Road and will be a joint venture between Milhaus, a retail developer, and Homefield, a Kansas City-based company.

“This project is the first of its kind in Boone County,” Whitestown Town Manager Jason Lawson stated. “Since purchasing the land more than two years ago, town officials have worked diligently to develop plans for this property. We believe the project we have attracted is an ideal complement to Little League International’s new Central Region Headquarters currently under construction in Whitestown.”

The project, which is estimated to cost at least $135 million, will include: • Approximately 200,000-square-foot Homefield youth sports environment,

with at least one outdoor field.

• Approximately 250-unit market rate apartments.

• Flagged hotel with at least 105 rooms.

• An outdoor water sports and entertainment venue.

• At least 50,000 square feet of medical office building uses.

• Approximately 50,000 square feet of commercial/retail space.

• Potential for approximately 75 for-sale residential units.

“Whitestown deserves applause for its vision to turn an underutilized area into a place-based community of sports, recreation and entertainment,” Milhaus Vice President of Development Brad Vogelsmeier stated. “Milhaus is proud to bring our trusted partner Homefield from Kansas City to the Indianapolis area to execute and turn this vision into a unique community anchor.”

Town officials expect the project to be supported by local incentives, such as tax increment financing and the adoption of a food and beverage tax.

The Whitestown Town Council will hear a presentation on the planned development at its Feb. 10 meeting. Details can be found at whitestown.in.gov/meetings.

DISPATCHES Best midcap stocks — If you want to find bargains among this year’s stock market gyrations, consider medium-size companies.

That’s because analysts say the valuations of many large companies, such as Amazon and Netflix, have become bloated and their stock prices are more vulnerable to sharp pullbacks. And investors have been wary about investing in small companies, which are prone to extreme volatility amid economic uncertainty. Bottom Line Personal spoke with midcap specialists for recommendations on midcap investments. Their favorites for the rest of 2020 and beyond are: Ascendis Pharma (ASND) is a Danish biotech company focused on treating rare diseases with established therapies that are enhanced by the company’s drug-delivery technology platform called TransCon. The company’s approach is meant to extend the duration of a drug in the body and improve the benefits while minimizing risk and expense. We believe the company’s drug to treat hyperparathyroidism, a disorder

of the parathyroid glands, and potential application of TransCon to other diseases, including cancer and diabetes provide a meaningful runway for growth. Recent share price: $160.73.

Carmel Christian Church to feature ‘Faces of Jesus’ paintings with messages during Lent

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Christian Church Pastor Jerry Zehr wanted to try something unique during the season of Lent.

Zehr will present the paintings ART of R. Scott Colglazier, along with Zehr’s message to the congregation, during Lent. The series of six presentations is entitled “Faces of Jesus” and begins Feb. 21. The series runs each Sunday, startZehr ing at 10:30 a.m., through the March 28 Palm Sunday service. The service will be conducted in-person with face masks required and social distancing.

The service also will be livestreamed on Carmel Christian Church’s Facebook page.

Colglazier, a Bloomington resident, is a retired minister who focuses on his art.

“What I appreciate about Scott is he has this insight and depth to his paintings as well,” Colglazier Zehr said. “I hope it gives people different aspects of what Jesus is feeling.”

Zehr said Colglazier will videotape a segment and give some background about each painting’s meaning. Zehr will then deliver a message on the theme.

“He’s giving insight into some of the aspects of the paintings,” Zehr said. “The ‘Faces of Jesus’ reflect to us some of Jesus’ own issues, some of his reflections and thoughts, especially in his days coming into Jerusalem to Palm Sunday in that last week. It may awaken in each of us how we can connect to that.”

Zehr and Colglazier have been friends for more than 35 years. They met at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis.

The first painting to start Lent is “I Just Wanted to Live My Life.”

“I think as Jesus was getting ready to

go into Jerusalem, he knew a lot of the power brokers were threatened by him and there was a part of him that wanted to live a normal life,” Zehr said. “He didn’t want to cause trouble. He didn’t want to be the lightning rod of everybody’s focus.

He felt compelled to do this. He wanted to bring this message to say God’s love is there for the untouchable and the gentiles.

I think of Martin Luther King Jr. a lot of the same way. Here he was a minister and was probably just, ‘Let me do my thing,’ but he couldn’t deny the call that God was putting on his life. He felt he needed to do something, and he couldn’t just live a normal life.

“So, Scott talks about that in the video as he was painting it. Each painting has a certain meaning to it in some aspect of Jesus.”

For instance, for the “Blue Jesus” painting, Zehr will share a message about mental health.

“People get the blues and how Jesus must have felt at times, very depressed,” Zehr said. “We see (it) in some of his words when he looked over Jerusalem and

he wept. Each painting carries an aspect of Jesus, and I hope it will engage people in a different way.”

Colglazier said he painted the various “Faces of Jesus” paintings over the past couple of years.

“Jesus is such a big and important figure that there are a variety of ways of approaching that and approaching religion itself through art, literature, poetry, theology, all of those things help us grab hold of this big topic of life,” Colglazier said. “It’s kind of an ongoing topic for me in terms of a subject. But mine are nontraditional and much more expressive. It’s not quite abstract but expressionistic. I’m not trying to paint a portrait. I’m trying to present a mood or dimension of Jesus.”

Colglazier said he is interested to see if the paintings and messages connect with Zehr’s congregation.

Colglazier, originally from Salem, is retired from First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, which Colglazier describes as one of the most progressive churches in the nation.

Phrop it like it’s hot Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Golden Gate of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Prague’s Last Judgment mosaics Commentary by Don Knebel The St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic, features one of the world’s most important exterior mosaics, graphically illustrating the medieval concepTRAVEL tion of the Last Judgment.

In 1344, Bohemian King John the Blind laid the cornerstone for a cathedral on the site of two earlier Prague churches dedicated to St. Vitus. When John died in battle in 1346, his son, Charles IV, succeeded him. King Charles, determined to make the cathedral the most important in Europe, engaged a noted French architect to design a massive cathedral in the French Gothic style. In 1370, after the 407-foot by 197-foot structure had been enclosed, Charles commissioned mosaics above the three arched portals of the south entrance, intended to provide those approaching the cathedral a powerful reason to go inside. The mosaics, completed in 1371 and encompassing about 1,000 square feet, incorporated approximately 1 million pieces of colored glass and gold leaf. The middle panel portrays Jesus at the end of time, executing the Last Judgment.

REMODELERS

On Jesus’ right, the resurrected bodies of the righteous dead are climbing from their hillside tombs, assisted by angels. On Jesus’ left, the damned are being driven into the fires of hell. The gilded south entrance became known as the “Golden Gate,” the name of the gate through which Jewish tradition expects the Messiah to enter the Temple in Jerusalem after resurrecting the dead on the nearby Mount of Olives.

In the 15th century, wars and a shortage of funds halted work on the half-finished St. Vitus Cathedral. Construction resumed in the 19th century. When the cathedral was finally dedicated in 1929, the brilliant colors and gold of the Last Judgment mosaics had been obscured by potassium leaching from the medieval glass. Between 1992 and 2000, the mosaics were restored by the Getty Conservation Institute.

I have a new favorite word and, no, it’s not “hygge.” Similar to “hygge,” though, this word looks like you dropped a random handful of GRAMMAR GUY Scrabble letters onto the gameboard in an attempt to convince your friend that it’s a real word. My new favorite word is “phrop.”

Coined by Sir Arnold Lunn in the late 1940s, “phrop” was Lunn’s entry in a made-up word competition in “The New Statesman,” according to Philip Howard in his 1984 book, “The State of Language.” It seems Sir Arnold created the word “phrop” as a combination of the words “phrase” and “opposite.”

When you break down this idea, you get a phrase that means the opposite of what it actually means. A classic example of this comes from Jerry Seinfeld’s stand-up comedy. At the end of a date where you don’t want to see that person ever again, Seinfeld quips, “What do you say?” So, he goes with, “Take care now.” The reason, he states, is because “I’m not going to

be taking care of you, so you should take care of yourself now.”

Phrops appear in social settings to put a misleading face on a less-than-polite statement. Notice that when someone starts a sentence with, “With all due respect,” they proceed to tee off on the other person’s position or opinion. “With all due respect” gets used as a license to tear the other person apart. I give “with all due respect” mad phrops.

How can you avoid dropping a casual phrop while speaking with your closest frenemy? Phrops are an easy way to passively aggressively drop a “sick burn” on someone. My advice? Pick one thing about your “friend” that you can genuinely compliment (even if it is her ringtone). Say it, mean it, and then get out of there before you accidentally say, “I’ll call you.”
