Health official says COVID variants still a concern

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Although all Indiana residents age 16 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, IndiPANDEMIC ana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the race between the vaccines and COVID-19 variants continues and that the variants are “pickBox ing up steam.”

As of March 31, Indiana has reported 137 cases of the B117 variant that originated in the United Kingdom; one case of the B1351 variant out of South Africa; one case of the P1 variant out of Brazil; and 27 cases of the variant first detected in California.

“Our proximity to Michigan, which is one of the top states for B117 variants, is a concern,” Box said during a March 31 virtual press briefing. “COVID is still very much present in our state and (I) encourage ev-

eryone who is eligible for a vaccine to sign up as soon as possible and to continue to wear a mask and take precautions.”

More than 21,000 Indiana residents ages 16 to 29 registered March 31 for a vaccination appointment within the first 30 minutes of eligibility. As of noon of that day, more than 96,000 Hoosiers 16 to 29 had scheduled an appointment.

In total, more than 39 percent of Indiana residents were vaccinated, had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or had scheduled a vaccination appointment as of March 31.

As of March 31, state health officials reported the following percentage of residents had been fully vaccinated, received one dose of vaccine or had scheduled an appointment.

• 74 percent of Hoosiers 80 and older • 77 percent of people 70-79 • 66 percent of people 60-69 • 48 percent of people 50-59 • 35 percent of people 40-49 • 25 percent of people 30-39

• 10 percent of people 20-29 • 7 percent of people 16-19 As of March 31, Indiana had recorded increases in average daily COVID-19 cases, test positivity rates and hospitalizations.

More counties were assigned a more stringent advisory level because of an increase in cases.

As a result, the state health officials will now track multiple metrics to determine future action. Gov. Eric Holcomb did not specify during the virtual briefing what specific data points would drive changes in public health policy, such as possibly reinstating Indiana’s mask mandate that expires April 6.

“I’m concerned about the variants,” Box said. “You can look at other states. You can look at other countries. You can see when this B117 variant became the predominant strain that was infecting individuals. It’s much, much more transmissible and appears to put more individuals in the hospitals.

“Keeping our number of infections down is the most important thing we can do to prevent the spread of those variants.

BCSO partners with company on mobile app

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with SaferWatch, a mobile application and security platform, SAFETY allowing residents to submit non-emergent information and be warned of nearby safety concerns.

The free app is designed to deter crime and document non-emergent situations by providing residents a means to report incidents such as suspicious activity, perceived threats and other public safety concerns directly to the BCSO via a mobile device. The app allows users to upload pictures, videos, audio, and/or text messages directly to the BCSO as an incident unfolds, though the app does not replace the importance of 911 calls, which residents should use in cases of an emergency, BCSO Public Information Officer

Wesley Garst said.

“This is just for things that are suspicious, something they need our attention for but not necessarily right now because their life is in jeopardy. We still want people calling 911,” Garst said.

By collecting the data, the BCSO not only develops leads, it also sends real-time safety alerts to those who have downloaded

“This is just for things that are suspicious, something they need our attention for but not necessarily right now because their life is in jeopardy. We still want people calling 911.”

– BCSO PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER WESLEY GARST

SaferWatch.

“Say you are at a church and there’s an active shooter or a bomb threat or something down the road a mile or two,” Garst said. “It’s automatically going to see there are people with that app in that area that need to be sent that notification, and it will automatically do that on its own.”

The app can be downloaded via the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store and covers all of Boone County.

Reports submitted through the app are sent directly to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office Communications Division and then forwarded to the agency pertaining to the report.

The BCSO encourages Boone County residents to download the app and use it to send tips. The app has an option to submit tips anonymously and also to request a callback for more information.

Decorators’ Show House tours begin April 24

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Columns on Meridian home is getting ready for its closeup.

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild’s EVENT 60th Anniversary Decorators’ Show House and Gardens will offer public tours at the house, 5417 N. Meridian St., from April 24 to May 9.

A total of 22 interior designers, three landscape designers, their support teams and the members of St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild have donated hundreds of hours to refurbish the property.

“We believe we are the longest-running consecutive show house in the U.S.,” said Anne Buskirk-Bailey, the promotions director. “We had one last year, but we were unfortunately not able to open it to the public because COVID hit about a month before. We did a video virtual tour, which was accessible for free to the public.”

The 100 percent volunteer initiative has raised nearly $13.5 million since 1907 for Indianapolis’ public hospital, Eskenazi Health. All ticket and tour proceeds benefit the programs at Eskenazi Health. The bulk of the contributions have been since 1950, Buskirk-Bailey said.

Bailey said visitors can tour the house by pre-purchasing a ticket online.

“Everyone has to do a scheduled tour time, and there are only so many people allowed in during each hour,” said Buskirk-Bailey, who grew up in Zionsville and is the daughter of St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild life member Maureen Buskirk. “It’s highly regulated and everyone is required to wear masks. There is a $15 video experience people can purchase if they don’t feel comfortable going through the house in person.”

Buskirk-Bailey said there is no cafe this year.

“But we’ll be selling goods made in Indiana from different producers,” she said.

“There will be food items but (we are) not sure they can be consumed on the property.

Hopefully, next year we’ll be able to go back to our normal level of what we do. For the most part, the tours will be the same.”

There is a different home each year, but there have been some repeat homes.

“We generally stay in the Meridian-Kessler territory, but it’s not mandatory,” Buskirk-Bailey said. “They did a series of homes at Fort Benjamin Harrison many years ago.

The Columns on Meridian is the 2021 Decorators’ Show House and Gardens. (Submitted photos)

MW Harris decorated this room at the Columns on Meridian.

They’ve gone to Carmel for one or two.”

In 2012, Mark A. and Susan Graham became the 10th owners of the 90-year-old home. The Grahams’ residence was one of the homes on the 2015 Meridian-Kessler Home Tour.

“Homeowners move out in the first week of January and the guild takes over occupancy of the property, so they don’t live there during the restoration,” Buskirk-Bailey said. “It’s not a total restoration. Some projects are spearheaded, and they’ll do full remodels on the kitchen and bathroom during the process. Sometimes those will start earlier. This year we had seven phases that were gutted and redone, which is amazing.

The before-and-after pictures in the program will be really neat for everyone.”

Buskirk-Bailey said sometimes it’s a balance of the homeowners spending some money on the remodel. Some appliances and supplies are donated.

“We have a network of companies, volunteers and designers who come in every year,” she said. “It’s a negotiation. Nothing is supplied 100 percent free to the homeowners. They don’t keep all the furnishings that come in.”

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild rents a place for the homeowners to stay during the process.

Zionsville announces heavy trash collection dates

LICENSED BONDED INSURED

The Town of Zionsville will provide its annual heavy trash collection services for residents in the TOWN SERVICES urban service district the week of May during each resident’s regular trash collection day.

The service gives residents in the urban service district a means to dispose of objects and materials not normally accepted by weekly trash service. Items must be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on regular trash collection day to guarantee collection.

Multiple crews from Ray’s Trash Service and the Town of Zionsville Dept. of Public Works will collect heavy trash and might visit residences more than one time, depending on volume.

Refrigerant-bearing appliances and tires will be collected by DPW staff. Residents placing refrigerant-bearing appliances and tires curbside should contact DPW officials with a description and address for pick-up.

Although the service is free for residents,

DPW must be notified.

Unacceptable items include antifreeze, oil, gasoline, gasoline cans, gasoline tanks, propane tanks, batteries, paint, paint thinners, flammable or toxic liquids, medical waste, construction and demolition debris, any type of fencing, concrete, bricks, sod, soil, trees, tree trunks or stumps.

Tips for residents include: • Throughout the year, Ray’s Trash Service will accept one large or heavy trash item per week for a small fee.

To coordinate pick up, contact Ray’s directly at 317-539-2024.

• To keep items out of a landfill, the Town of Zionsville encourages donations to Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore Boone County.

• Freon-containing appliances do not require removal of Freon prior to pickup. Appliances will be transported to a recovery site to ensure proper disposal of Freon and other refrigerants.

For more, call the Zionsville DPW at 317-873-4544.

State Sen. J.D. Ford (D-Indianapolis) handed out trans pride flags to state legislators March 31, Transgender Day of Visibility, to raise awareness for transgender people. “It’s important, now more than ever, to show transgender Hoosiers, and in particular our youth, that they have allies in their government,” Ford stated. “Helping the 40 percent of transgender youth who attempt suicide has to be a public health priority. For the many young Hoosiers who look in the mirror and don’t recognize the person that they see, any public recognition of the internal struggle they deal with each day can be the difference between life or death.” Ford represents Senate District 29, which includes Boone County’s Eagle Township, Hamilton County’s Clay Township and Marion County communities including Pike and Wayne townships.

Old magazines and the doctor’s office Commentary by Ward Degler An American institution has been lost. I realized it a couple weeks ago while sitting in my doctor’s office for PLAIN TALK my annual checkup.

Things had changed. For one thing, the chairs in the waiting room were no longer warmly nestled together.

They were split up and coldly separated by the 6-foot social-distance mandate. Children, who normally played with toys in the corner, sat soberly in their seats. The toys were gone.

Something else was missing, too. I fidgeted in my chair for a long time before figuring out what it was.

Magazines — ancient magazines. The tables that had sat so invitingly among the chairs, loaded with antique publications, had been taken away.

Many American institutions have been assaulted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sports venues, restaurants, schools and the local pub have all taken a big hit. People who work from home have been tortured by fading memories of coffee breaks and chats around the water cooler, along with dreaming of taking a day off and actually staying home.

But none can compare with the loss of magazines in the doctor’s office. I contend nothing has made a greater contribution to

American health care than these dog-eared publications. How could anyone worry about what the doctor might find while speculating on the weighty notion that one day we might send a man to the moon?

Or the laughable idea that someone could actually invent an electric car? One older magazine I recall speculated heavily about what might happen to computers when the 21st century dawned. How could anyone worry about their health with that gigantic question looming on the horizon?

For several years, my wife and I routinely culled our six-month-old magazines and took them to the hospital. As old as they were, the receptionist assured us they were among the newer editions. She said we were contributing to America’s health care.

Our nation will bounce back from the pandemic. Public venues, schools and backyard picnics will pick up where they left off.

But it’s up to us to start saving old magazines again to restore America’s waiting rooms to the consoling venues they once were.

Navy veterans organize banquet to recognize military-bound seniors

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Two U.S. Navy veterans want to recognize Boone County high school seniors with Boone County Senior Salute, a banquet they said would be the first of its kind in Zionsville.

Matt Weinheimer, an associate optometrist at Zionsville Eyecare and a lieutenant commander in the Navy Reserve, was a Navy Seal from 2014 to 2017 in Okinawa, Japan, after graduating college. The Sullivan, Ind., native said one of his classmates in high school started a recognition banquet for county seniors who joined the military.

Although Weinheimer did not attend the banquet in high school, he was inspired by the act and a similar reception he attended before leaving for Japan. When he learned Boone County did not have a banquet to recognize high school seniors entering the military, he approached James Haines, also a Navy veteran and an optometrist at Zionsville Eyecare, with a plan to organize one.

“He thought it was a great idea, too, so we just ran with it,” Weinheimer said.

Because of Weinheimer and Haines’ efforts, a banquet is planned for June 4 at American Legion Post 79, at 9950 E. 600 S., Zionsville, to recognize Boone County seniors enlisting in the military — whether active duty or reserve — a college ROTC program or one of the service academies. The date could change depending on COVID-19 gathering restrictions, Weinheimer said.

Haines and Weinheimer want to host the banquet annually and invite as many people as possible to attend.

“To my knowledge, in Zionsville it has never been done,” Haines said. “This is kind of a brand-new concept that we are creating.”

Haines, a Zionsville Community High School graduate, began finding students who fit the banquet’s criteria by contacting guidance counselors at ZCHS. Haines and Weinheimer also are extending invitations to seniors at Lebanon Senior High School and Western Boone Junior-Senior High School.

“I’ve always been a big believer in supporting our military members who sacrifice so much to defend our country,” Haines

said. “My dad was a World War II Army veteran, part of that greatest generation, so it’s something I have strong and deep beliefs in. And I think too often young people that commit themselves to service like that really don’t get the gratitude and attention

“I think it’s a really humbling decision because you are joining a cause that’s bigger than yourself,” Weinheimer said. “And I think whenever you make that decision you don’t really know what you’re getting into until you go to your basic training. You go to your boot camp, and you get out into the fleet, and you actually see these people that have made that same commitment, and they have made those sacrifices. They’ve essentially raised their hand and said, ‘I am prepared to give my life for the country.’ It (is) something that really resonates with everyone who does it, whatever your motivations are for joining.”

Any Boone County high school seniors enlisting in the military who are interested in attending the reception can contact Weinheimer at mweinheimer@zeyecare.com.

that they deserve.”

Often, Haines said, students who eventually become accomplished in their careers, such doctors, lawyers and engineers, are celebrated, yet military members are not as readily recognized.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT Navy veterans James Haines and Matt Weinheimer have organized a banquet to recognize Boone County high school seniors enlisting in the military, an event during which the students will be introduced to organizations that support veterans and active-duty military members.

“Supporting that community is paramount because there are a lot of obstacles that these kids will go through, and they need to know that the support is there to get them through those challenges.”

Weinheimer said it is important that

those enlisting in the military know they are not alone and that veterans and other organizations are willing to assist them if needed.

“While I was on active duty, (I) missed countless birthdays and weddings and friends’ children being born,” Weinheimer said. “Having those shared experiences, those shared sacrifices with others who understand what that is like, it makes all the difference. It truly does feel like a family.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Settling scores

Bring on the empty nest Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker He got what he deserved. Serves him right. Karma’s not too nice. There is a bit of naughty pleasure in the vindication when someone we judge seems to be judged by others. The speeder who cut us off in traffic moments earlier is now stopped by a state trooper. Smile. The libidinous cheater is shot by a jealous spouse. Well, it seems like just desserts.

For some of us, this is all wrath-of-God stuff. Punishment. Retribution. Even the score.

But what of those who have earned the best? Do we find a longing to elevate the right-doing with the same fervor that might drive us to reprimand the wrong-doer? She deserves to be happy.

Well, good for him. When the “right” person wins, we can claim a little more order to the world. We feel that our own efforts may be rewarded with success.

Sure, it helps if the victor is likable. It is not fun to give credit to those who for one reason or another always seem to rub us the wrong way.

Luke’s account of Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son is a tough one for many. While one son is devoted to his family and works very hard, another is profligate and consumes far more than he produces. Upon his return after a long absence, the second son is welcomed by their dad with open arms and a big party. Son No. 1 is a bit offended.

Shouldn’t he be? Where is the karma?

Shouldn’t the party be for him, the “good” offspring?

In our rush to help create justice in the world, through our own imperfect filter, are we only reinforcing our own desire to even the score? If so, is it really our score to even? Does the universe owe us for our goodness?

People often say to me, “I can’t believe your kids are so old! I’ll bet you’re going to miss them when they’re finally all gone.”

Usually, I respond with a fake “absolutely” to avoid an awkward moment, because the truth is, I cannot wait for my chicks to fly away. My four children point to the fact that I am cold and dead inside to explain my apparent lack of emotion at their forthcoming launches into adulthood, but the real reason is that for me, parenting is akin to an ultra-endurance race. Once you’ve crossed the finish line and puked, you just want to eat a Quarter Pounder and go to sleep. Sure, there’ll be fond memories mixed in with the pain, but you’re glad it’s over and fairly committed to never running again. Ever.

With three in college, we are 75 percent of the way to Empty Nestville, and this past week, our youngest was housesitting. I was able to get a real taste of life after kids and confirm my suspicion that I will indeed love having everyone gone. The quietude. The cleanliness. It was downright delightful. And for me, at least, once out of sight, definitely out of mind, which meant far less maternal anxiety. I’ll always be a mom, but it’s far easier when you’re not on call 24/7.

Does it seem like only yesterday when I had four rug rats under 6? Yes. I honestly don’t know where the time went. But I’ll also admit to being thrilled about that chapter nearing its end. I’ll take a McDonald’s No. 2 and a long nap, thank you. Wake me when the grandkids arrive! Peace out.

As offensive as a swastika Editor, Mayor (Emily) Styron’s decision to allow a lifesized “antifa” fist to be painted on a public utility box at the entrance to Zionsville shows a lack of knowledge of the history and meaning of that symbol. An upraised, clenched fist has been a symbol of international communism since at least the 1910s.

The clenched fist was used extensively in the 1930s by groups such as the Communist Red Front Fighters in Germany — who actually (trademarked) it — and the Marxist-inspired International Brigades that fought in the Spanish Civil War. It is essentially the Leftist equivalent of the outstretched arm salute popularized by the Nazis.

Buddying up to my barber and dentist Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Do you know what reentry anxiety is?

Mary Ellen read about this condition in the news and asked if I thought I HUMOR might have it. She explained that many people are nervous about returning to normal behaviors after being quarantined for a year. How exactly does one behave in a post-pandemic world?

I Googled the issue to get more information. According to the first webpage I landed on, virtually all astronauts suffer from this. “Orbiting around the earth at 18,000 mph, astronauts have time to reflect on how they might soon burn up before reentering the earth’s atmosphere.” That sounds scarier than wondering if it’s safe to kiss your new bride or if it’s rude to slather on sanitizer immediately after you shake your new boss’s hand.

Next week, I plan to visit my dentist and my barber (two different people) for the first time in more than a year. I feel bad that it has been so long, and I don’t want to insult either one by acting inappropriately.

Dr. Roberts has been very nice to me, even

though I have passed out twice in his office.

The first time, it was in the chair when I had a bad drug reaction, and then several years ago in the outer lobby when his receptionist showed me the bill for my root canal.

Buddy, my barber, also has been good to me. Through the years, he has successfully timed my haircuts to events on my calendar, like when I was making plans for my 50th high school reunion. I always look scalped right after a haircut and shaggy six weeks later, so we have to think way ahead and plan the visits. He did mess up the schedule once and I had to get two haircuts in the same week.

The truth is, it’s been so long since I have seen either Buddy or Dr. Roberts, I may be mixing up which is which (that’s not the truth, of course, but this is a humor column, so just play along).

For example, guess which one tilts me back in the chair and says, “This is not going to hurt.” That must be Buddy, because several years ago he accidentally jabbed my ear with the scissors and then promised he would never do it again.

Which visit is covered by insurance?

That’s got to be the haircut. I remember my agent telling me I’d be covered for any loss. I assume that included my hair. And do I tip the barber or the dentist? I have no recollection of tipping my dentist, but I should. After 25 years with him, I still have all my teeth. My hair? Not so much. By the way, either Dr. Roberts or Buddy told me to remember to brush twice a day. I sure wish I could remember who it was.

One of them blathered for my entire last appointment about who he thought should be elected president last November. Mary Ellen always tells me that when it comes to politics to keep my trap shut. I always do that with Buddy, so I don’t get hair in my mouth. With Dr. Roberts, I have to keep it open, but I can’t be understood, anyway.

I see Buddy tomorrow. Rumor is that his prices have gone up. I hope he still takes major medical.

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan April is National Foot Health Awareness Month, and good foot care is essential to keeping our feet healthy, PODIATRY active and pain-free. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, 20 percent of the U.S. population has at least one foot problem annually.

Some problems could be genetic. But by following the 10 tips to promote good foot health, some foot and ankle problems can be prevented or stopped from becoming serious problems if treatment is sought quickly.

10 ways to promote good foot health • Inspect your feet every day — especially if you have diabetes. Use a mirror (or a friend) to check hard-to-reach spots.

Take note of any bumps, cracks or red and rough spots and review with a podiatrist.

• Always wear shoes in public to protect from injuries, fungal infections and some types of heel pain.

• Give toenails frequent polish breaks.

• After a shower or bath, completely dry between the toes to avoid problems with fungus.

• Always put sunscreen on your feet,

•

• •

•

•

between your toes and all around your ankle because these areas are vulnerable to burns and skin cancer.

Exercise by doing low-impact sports.

Walking or riding a bicycle can help you maintain a healthy weight without overloading your feet.

Stretch before any exercise to help prevent foot and ankle injuries — especially before running.

Wear the right shoes. Look for a low heel and lots of arch support. Leave a bit of space (about a thumb’s worth) between the end of your big toe and your shoe end.

If walking or exercising hurts, even in supportive athletic shoes, custom orthotics could offer pain relief and extra protection for your foot health.

When in doubt, call us at the first sign of foot pain. Often, people ignore or “walk off” foot pain, but that can turn minor problems into major foot concerns.

Brick Street Market returning in May

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Brick Street Market will return to Zionsville May 1.

Last year, the outdoor vendor and artisan fair was rescheduled for August SHOPPING because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the annual event returns the first Saturday in May, its traditional date.

Brick Street Market is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 1. It will be held on Zionsville’s brick Main Street.

Allyson Gutwein, executive director of the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, said more than 125 vendors applied to participate. She said the number of participating vendors has yet to be determined.

“We are looking for really, really strong attendance based on the interest we have heard expressed by people who want to attend the event,” Gutwein said.

The chamber worked closely with local officials to ensure best practices for safety are followed, Gutwein said. Attendees will be required to wear a face mask, except for children younger than 2.

Masks will be provided at the event for those who do not have one, and hand-sanitizing stations will

Residents and visitors shop at 2020’s Brick Street Market. (Photo courtesy of Tell the Story Photography)

be located throughout the event space.

Gutwein said the event is expected to provide much-needed exposure and business for Zionsville shops and restaurants.

“The idea in doing large-scale events is that we bring traffic into Zionsville so that they can see what a great town we have and shop, dine, use business services that we have here and want to come back,” Gutwein said. “The idea is to drive that traffic in and help not only the temporary businesses that are set up for Brick Street Market but make sure that our businesses all over Zionsville have patrons that are coming past their doors.”

DISPATCH Tech stocks for a new era — Tech is not only surviving the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s thriving. As the outbreak and the looming recession pummeled many sectors of the stock market this year, cash-rich technology giants including Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix held up well, and some younger, smaller tech firms such as the digital-signature software firm DocuSign and Zoom Video Communications raced ahead. As people spent more time at home, companies that helped them make the best use of the internet served as a lifeline for functions, ranging from business transactions, communications and health to shopping and entertainment, such as: Zoom Video Communications (ZM) — The number of daily users of this online videoconferencing service, which went public last year, soared from 10 million in December 2019 to 200 million in late March 2020. The stock already jumped 157 percent in 2020 as of May 15, even as Zoom’s growing popularity made it vulnerable to

hackers who hijacked videoconferences and harassed participants, the stock can continue to rise.

DocuSign (DOCU). If you have signed digital documents to refinance your mortgage, update your will or open a brokerage account recently, you probably have used this leading provider of digital-signature software.

Thousands of law firms, real estate companies, financial institutions and other companies use it to reduce the time and cost of everyday deal-making, negotiations and approval of contracts. DocuSign, whose stock had jumped 70 percent as of May 15, has a long runway for growth because the industry is expected to expand by 35 percent a year and hit $9 billion in global sales by 2024.

Proofpoint (PFPT). On a daily basis, this cloud-based security software company scans for malware and digital viruses in 600 million e-mails, more than 7 million mobile apps and hundreds of thousands of social-media accounts.

Broadcasting couple turn Trans-Siberian Railway trip into documentary for PBS

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ann Craig-Cinnamon and John Cinnamon have been to more than 100 nations, all seven continents and all 50 states, but they are always seeking a new adventure.

When they learned about the Trans-Siberian Railway, FILM they were intrigued.

“The trip was 16 days, starting in Moscow, going through Siberia, Mongolia and ending in Beijing,” Ann said. “It’s the longest train ride trip in the world. It sounded fascinating, so we decided to do it.”

The couple, who are Geist residents, took the trip in April 2019.

“Ann had the idea that this is going to be such an interesting and epic trip we should document it somehow,” John said.

The result was creating a documentary, “Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway.” The documentary was completed by April 2020, but airing was delayed amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was aired for the first time on Indianapolis PBS station’s WFYI in October 2020 and had a few more airings. It will air again at 7:30 p.m.

April 22 on WFYI. The couple’s 30-minute documentary film by the Indianapolis broadcast veterans has been chosen by American Public Television for national distribution to PBS stations across the nation.

The film will air on more than 250 stations, including top 10 markets, and will reach more than 80 percent of the U.S. population.

Ann said other PBS stations have the rights to air it during a twoyear period.

“Knowing that our film will have a national audience is beyond anything we imagined,” John said.

Ann said the couple watched travel documentaries. The Cinnamons knew they could take photos, write and do voiceovers. They did not have as much experience collecting video before the trip.

They met with Clayton Taylor, WFYI vice president of production, before leaving to see if there was interest — and there was.

Taylor also suggested people to speak with before leaving.

“They gave us some things to look at when shooting, video techniques,” John said. “That gave us some insight on what to be looking for and how to shoot it and how to get it mic’d up for audio.”

Ann said they also talked with another documentary filmmaker.

“We bought some new equipment and we just went for it,” said Ann, a member of the Indiana Broadcasters Hall of Fame. “We did all our own shooting. John did the majority of the actual video and I did some of it. We took a lot of still photos. We did lots of interviews with people from our Russian guide, who was with us the whole time, another person on the tour with us and the guy who ran the dining car. We asked him the favorite part of his job and he said, ‘Meeting people.’

“We asked him his least favorite part, and without hesitation

said, ‘Drunk Russian men.’”

They interviewed a Mongolian tour guide who told them he didn’t make enough money as a doctor working in a hospital to support his family, so he got into the travel business.

“His English was great, his Russian supposedly was even better and, of course, his Mongolian,” Ann said.

The Mongolian guide was a big fan of the NBA. “We told him we were from Indiana and he said ‘Reggie Miller,’” John said. “He said, ‘He especially likes dudes who shoot the 3.’”

Fishers resident Philip Paluso helped with the editing process when the couple returned.

“He added a lot to it and made it super creative,” Ann said. “We were really proud of the product. The takeaway we hope people get when they watch is that people are people. They might have different cultures and different governments, but basically people are people.”

John said they have the same interests and do many of the same activities as Americans.

Among their previous adventures were gorilla trekking in Rwanda; hiking the Himalayas to see Mt. Everest; snorkeling with sea lions in the Galapagos; and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa.

In October 2020 amid the pandemic, the couple traveled Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles.

“That’s going to be our next documentary,” Ann said. “We were in Ireland when the pandemic broke out and we were sent home.”

‘Art in the Garden’ to feature Osborne editorial@youarecurrent.com After a long shutdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Carmel Arts Council will conduct its first event of the year April 10 with “Art in the Garden,” featuring Carmel artist Scott Osborne. In 2020, Donna Tutwiler, past CAC president and now the CAC’s gallery coordinator, created “Art in the Garden.” The CAC’s mission is to encourage children to participate in the arts as part of their educational development.

Osborne will set up shop and work with clay in the garden by The World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery from 4 to 8 p.m. during Meet Me on Main, sponsored by Allied Solutions, in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

As an interactive event, children will have the opportunity to join the fun and work with clay at the Children’s Table.

As part of part of Meet Me on Main, mixed-media artist Wendy Simon, an Indiana Artisan from Frankfort, will demonstrate her sculpting techniques and bring a new cartoon creature to life from 5 to 9 p.m. at Indiana Artisan Gifts & Gallery, 22 N. Range Line Rd.

“Light on the Horizon” will be performed in The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, with eight live performances between April 30 and May 15. The show will include performers from past and upcoming Civic productions. Many of the performers are from Civic’s cast of “The Color Purple,” which was originally scheduled for this spring.

Because of capacity limitations, “The Color Purple” has been postponed until October.

Civic will present “A Few Good Men” in the Studio Theater, which will run

Area chef launches food podcast

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Chef Tanorria Askew’s mission for her podcast is to showcase more than just food. “‘Black Girls Eating’ is a podcast FOOD about justice, Black girl magic, and well-seasoned food,” Askew said.

Askew partners on the podcast with Candace Boyd Wylie, who has a food and recipe website called FoodLoveTog.com.

“While food is the focus, amplifying Black voices and talent is a priority,” Askew said. “We will feature our voice in episodes about our opinion on various topics and feature other voices in interviews with guests.”

Askew, a former Carmel resident, and Boyd Wylie live on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

The friends have been planning the podcast since 2018. The first episode of “Black Girls Eating” was released on March 8. The third episode is set to be released April 6.

“We have co-hosted several events and talks in the past,” Askew said.

Askew, who was on Season 7 of “‘MasterChef” in 2016, said she and Boyd Wylie first connected over seasoning for food.

We have such a great relationship where we feed off each other and are passionate about many of the same things.”

Askew’s Tanorria’s Table has been in business since January 2015.

“As a personal chef, I bring the restaurant experience to your home,” Askew said. “Dinner parties are a highlight of what I do.

Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis What to get: Lobster roll Price: $17 Anna’s take: Pier 48 Fish House and Oyster Bar is an excellent place for a date night, especially being right across the street from Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Start out with the char-grilled oysters ($12), a beautiful array of East Coast oysters with garlic herbed butter, served with a parmesan crostini, which is perfect for sopping up all the juices. Also be sure to try a cup of the New England clam chowder ($5), which is

absolutely loaded with clams. For the main event, try either the lobster roll ($17) or the blackened monkfish ($31). The lobster roll, as the name implies, is a roll stuffed with large pieces of cold-water Maine lobster. The roll is a delicious hybrid of Texas toast and a bao bun. Be sure to douse the roll with melted butter that comes on the side.

The blackened monkfish is definitely for those with a hearty appetite. It is a generous portion of monkfish served over polenta cake with smoked andouille sausage, crawfish tails and etouffee sauce. Finish it off with a piece of the most delicious New York-style cheesecake ever ($7). The cheesecake has a sour cream topping and raspberry drizzle.

THE BLUEPRINT • The upper deck was updated with Trex composite decking and waterproofing; the railings were in good condition, so they remained intact.

• The waterproofing system installed below the top deck protects the now screened-in area from the elements and diverts water away from the home.

• Tongue-and-groove paneling was installed in the screened porch. The concrete patio remained.

• New light fixtures and exterior painting complete the transformation.

Oh, my aching backronym Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Bronze rendering of Nataraja in Government Museum, Chennai, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Chennai’s famous bronzes Commentary by Don Knebel The Indian city of Chennai, known as Madras until 1966, contains one of the world’s most extensive collections TRAVEL of bronze figures, created by South Indian artisans beginning in the seventh century.

Chennai is located along the Bay of Bengal in southeast India. With an urban population of about 11 million, it is India’s fifth-largest city. Chennai is often listed among the top places in the world to visit because of its rich and diverse history and excellent museums and cultural institutions. The Government Museum, Chennai, is the most important of those museums.

Founded in 1851 by Scottish surgeon and Orientalist Edward Balfour, it is the second-oldest museum in India and reportedly the 10th-oldest museum in the world. The museum complex, now located on a 16-acre site, contains 46 galleries spread among six buildings. The museum contains the largest collection of Roman antiquities outside Europe, reflecting Roman adventures on the Indian subcontinent.

building, is the museum’s most famous, containing more than 1,500 bronze figures from India’s Buddhist, Jain and Hindu traditions. The most important figures were created during the period of the Chola Dynasty, which ruled South India from about A.D. 850 A.D. to A.D. 1250. Those figures, most representing Hindu deities, were created using the so-called “lost wax” method. The figure was first carved in hard wax, which was then coated with several layers of thin moist clay. Once the clay had hardened, the wax was melted away and the resulting mold filled with molten bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. The most famous of the Chola bronzes is known as “Ardhanarisvara,” (Lord who is half woman), a half male, half female combination of Shiva, an important Hindu deity, and Parvati, his consort. Other famous bronzes depict Shiva as Nataraja, the Lord of the Dance.

By this point in your life, you probably know what an acronym is. Examples include NASA (National Aeronautics and Space AdministraGRAMMAR GUY tion), NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and GIF (graphics interchange format). Note that an acronym is pronounced the way the beginning letters of each word “spell out” a new word.

An initialism, on the other hand, is an abbreviation containing the first letter of each word. When we pronounce initialisms, we simply say the letters (e.g., BBC, CIA, NCAA).

We find acronyms and initialisms all over the place, but I want to look at a subset of acronyms known as “backronyms” (or “bacronyms”). Backronyms are acronyms that have been reverse-engineered to conveniently spell a certain word.

For instance, have you ever heard of the computer-programming language called BASIC? It stands for “Beginner’s All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.”

That’s a stretch. James Bond creator Ian

Fleming created the fictional crime syndicate called SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). In comics, Marvel’s SHIELD has stood for a few things during its existence, but, as of this writing, it stands for “Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.”

Backronyms tend to flourish in one place: Washington, D.C. Congressional leaders love cringeworthy backronyms.

Most Americans benefited from 2020’s CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act. And who can possibly forget 2001’s USA PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act? I wonder how much time in meetings is devoted to reverse-engineering titles to spell stuff?
