Indiana Gov.

On April 1, Indianapolis Mayor Joe In an effort to staff more clinicians, Hogsett extended Marion County’s stay-atstate officials said they are asking current home order from April 6 until May 1. medical students and retired clinicians and “Indiana already has hospitals that can those who have not been working due to turn every bed into critical care beds, and the postponement of elective surgeries to we have identified those sites as possible help to meet the needs of burdened hospital surge hospitals for each region,” Indiana systems. As of press time, more than 11,000 Family and Social Services Administration clinicians have committed.

Secretary Dr. Jennifer Sullivan said.

One of Holcomb’s latest executive orders Hospitals are increasing their number of issued ways for medical students and critical care capacity by converting existing retired clinicians to obtain temporary auspaces and beds into critical care beds. The thorization to provide health care through a transition has been made possible by the survey. The volunteer survey can be found

at coronavirus.in.gov.

State officials also announced April 2 that all K-12 schools will not conduct in-person classes for the remainder of the academic year.

To meet the number of required school days, schools must either complete 160 total instructional days or complete at least 20 more days of remote learning between April and the end of the academic year. If a school completes 20 days and falls short of the required 160 instructional days, the Indiana Dept. of Education can waive the difference, according to the executive order.

To complete the academic year, Holcomb granted all schools a 20-day waiver to reduce the number of required in-person or remote-instruction days to 160.

Indiana Supt. Of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick said the 160 required days could consist of a total of in-person school days, eLearning days or other days of expanded school learning to meet the requirement.

McCormick said all school systems must submit a continuous learning plan by April 17 outlining the school system’s guidelines for parents and school children to follow.

“Our goal, given this very difficult situation, is to ensure that students have some type of continuous learning. It may not all be eLearning, but we are hopeful that we can offer some type of continuous learning to all of our kids,” McCormick said.

But not all school systems have access to eLearning during the state’s stay-athome order, which will run until at least April 6. Previously, state officials estimated that only half of all Indiana school systems have eLearning capabilities.

The moves come in response to the 3,437 positive cases of COVID-19 in Indiana, as of press time. To date, 101 Indiana residents have died from the disease, of which 59.2 percent have been men. Box said that is likely due to the higher rates of cardiac disease and smoking in men. Indiana State Dept. of Health data also shows the majority of COVID-19 deaths in Indiana – 70.3 percent – have occurred in people 70 and older.

Officials from Witham Health Services, the primary hospital system in Boone County, said it has plans to rePANDEMIC spond to a possible surge of COVID-19 patients.

Witham has 26 ICU beds that have been dedicated to treating COVID-19 patients, Witham Health Services Marketing and Public Relations Director Mary Beth Searles said. To date, the hospital hasn’t needed to use many of those beds, Searles said.

As of press time, Boone County had reported 38 positive cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. According to the Indiana State Dept. of Health, no county resident has died from the disease.

The hospital has activated a full-capacity management plan that includes converting out-patient beds into in-patient beds to expand capacity. It also has established a respiratory fast-track unit that can screen patients before they get to the hospital.

In addition to the 26 beds dedicated to COVID-19 patients, Searles said the hospital transitioned 18 beds from its geriatric site into ICU beds that are not delineated for treating COVID-19 patients, creating an intensive care unit.

Searles said the hospital has not, at this time, been declared a facility that must focus all its resources on treating the disease. But if that should happen, she said the hospital could have up to 74 beds set aside as COVID-19 beds. In that event, the hospital and county officials would look to use the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds as an additional site to treat patients.

County officials said the fairgrounds, as a precaution, have been prepped for the possibility. It would only require 36-hours to finish final preparations before the space could be utilized.

“We are not anywhere close to that point right now,” Searles said.

Hospital officials plan to continue providing drive-thru COVID-19 screenings and virtual appointments during the pandemic.

Town aims to reduce emissions

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville is developing a climate action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions after being named ENVIRONMENT one of 11 communities selected to be part of Indiana University’s second Resilience Cohort.

The cohort matches Indiana communities with the tools, training and expertise needed to measure and reduce local greenhouse gas emissions. The program was launched in summer 2019.

In the initial phase of the climate action planning process, Zionsville will conduct a comprehensive inventory of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from activities within the town’s boundaries.

The inventory will measure energy used for buildings, vehicles, transit systems, waste disposal and residents’ activities to better understand how the community can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Town officials said the plan could help protect the town from heavier rainfalls in spring and winter and from flash floods

and from freeze/thaw events that create potholes.

Town officials initially anticipated that a draft plan would be completed and submitted to Mayor Emily Styron by November, but that date is less certain in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Matt Dickey, Zionsville Parks & Recreation superintendent, said most of the other communities in the cohort started the process about a year ago and are drafting plans and identifying goals to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions. He said Zionsville would benefit by learning what other communities identify in their draft plans.

“Part of what we’ll be working with will be dependent on two different things,” Dickey said. “Which types of gases are out there? And then which ones do the planning process, with citizen involvement, feel we can have a good chance of modifying or mitigating?”

Dickey said the town has already investigated how much power residents use and how much power the wastewater and sanitary sewer system is using, among other public utility uses, to collect data points for the draft plan.

DISPATCHES Zionsville extends closures — Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron has extended the closure date of Zionsville facilities through at least May 1. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Zionsville will continue to conduct business, according to a town social media post, meaning public safety operations and public utilities are still in full effect and that government services will still be available online. Town staff members are working from home to the extent possible and available by email and phone during the closures. Residents are advised to stay at home except for essential errands and to continue to be vigilant about social distancing and to wash their hands.

Porch party — On April 9 at 6 p.m., Zionsville residents are encouraged to spend an evening on their own porch, order a meal and favorite beverage from one of Zionsville’s restaurants and play family-friendly music as part of Porch Party Zville. At 7 p.m., neighbors can stand outside on their front porch, balcony or near a window and join in a collective “Clap for Our Carers.”

OUR PROMISE A smile and quality, honest work.

We are here for emergency service calls during this time when health and safety is top priority.

Hayden accepted an offer to attend Ball State University to study musical theater on March 25, and his sister volunteered to take pictures of him to celebrate. Their mother, Courtney Elefante, said the last few weeks have been stressful but is glad the stay-at-home order has given her children a chance to spend more time together before Hayden goes to college. Hayden had hoped to go back to school for some period of time, even if it was for a few days. He said he has only been able to keep in touch with friends virtually during the pandemic. “We didn’t have a finality to the year.

Stone Creek still utilizes its kitchen during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Submitted photo)

Stone Creek integrates with ClusterTruck to provide delivery

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com ClusterTruck, an Indianapolis technology startup that prepares and provides food on demand, recently anCOVER STORY nounced its first integration with an independent restaurant: Stone Creek Dining Co. Stone Creek is part of Indianapolis-based Cunningham Restaurant Group’s family of restaurants with a location in Zionsville.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Stone Creek, like all other Indiana restaurants, is temporarily closed to dine-in customers and operates solely on carryout sales. The restaurant was forced to adapt quickly to the takeout model.

Two weeks ago, the restaurant group decided to integrate ClusterTruck’s technology to establish a feasable delivery model that it has never had before.

Twenty-one of the restaurant group’s

34 restaurants have switched to carryout orders, operating on a fraction of their typical sales. The other 13 restaurants have temporarily closed. The group has laid off a number of employees as a result.

Unlike ClusterTruck’s normal business model, where meals are prepared in kitchens owned by ClusterTruck, the integration allows customers to order meals directly from Stone Creek’s kitchen for delivery to their homes using ClusterTruck.

Stone Creek capitalizes on ClusterTruck’s system and software to create a profitable self-delivery model, bypassing the high commissions charged by third-party delivery companies that can run up to 30 percent of sales, Cunningham said.

ClusterTruck’s software uses custom algorithms and machine learning to optimize kitchen and delivery operations. The systematic approach ensures that nearly every order is in the hands of customers within seven minutes of preparation. The average time between placing an order and a customer receiving their food is less than 30 minutes at costs below 10 percent of sales.

Mike Cunningham, founder & CEO of Cunningham Restaurant Group, said the integration allows ClusterTruck to deliver Stone Creek’s food to customers’ homes without

sacrificing quality.

“With the third-party delivery model, you have all these constituents,” said Chris Baggott, co-founder and CEO of ClusterTruck.

“You’ve got drivers on one hand, and they’re not connected to a restaurant, and they’re not connected to the customers, so they’re kind of three-way market places. What our system does is vertically integrate all of that. The trick is knowing where the driver is (which) influences when we cook the food.”

ClusterTruck’s software accounts for drivers and the cooking of delivery orders, so when a meal is estimated to take seven minutes to cook, it is not prepared until the driver is tracked to be seven minutes away.

Baggott said the software allows for meals to be delivered while they are still hot and gives drivers more deliveries per hour because less time is spent waiting for food.

Zionsville customers can order Stone Creek menu items online for curbside delivery. Orders are delivered using the ClusterTruck system within the dedicated zone.

Co-founded in 2015, ClusterTruck launched its first kitchen in Indianapolis in 2016.

ClusterTruck has locations in Indianapolis, Carmel, Columbus, Ohio, Denver and Kansas City.

CHANGING WITH THE TIMES After announcing a recent integration with Stone Creek, Chris Baggott, co-founder and CEO of ClusterTruck, said that for some restaurants, being able to quickly adopt a self-delivery model could be critical to their survival.

“I think behaviour was changing, anyway,” Baggott said. “We were spending more time at home. We were going out less. We have 70-inch TVs and IKEA furniture and Netflix and have made our houses really nice. This is a trend that has been growing very quickly as it is, but I think this (pandemic) is going to accelerate that.”

Still, Mike Cunningham, founder & CEO of Cunningham Restaurant Group, said there will always be a place for restaurants and the communal atmosphere they provide.

“I don’t see our society shifting in a major way (after the pandemic),” Cunningham said. “This may accelerate that growth of delivery and eating at home, but I don’t think the model of a dine-in restaurant is dead by any means. We are a social creature, and we want to have those experiences.”

LETTER

Photographic memories

U.S. Postal Service delivers

Commentary by Terry Anker Even as so much is changed, there is more that remains the same. We have accumulated a lifetime of memories, mementos and talismans that can, in an instant, take us back to a long ago and far-away time. We humans are cursed by our longing. We miss those apart from us and places where we cannot be. It brings us worry, anxiety and, in some circumstances, it can drive us into depression. Even so, we are blessed by our ability to reminisce about our past and imagine our future.

For many, the weeks of shelter at home have been extended. And for all, evenings, time away from work and weekends are now providing new hours at home. Pretty much everything except for the outdoors is closed. If our angst allows, we sleep a bit more. We cook, eat and clean up – together. We remember old habits or form new ones.

We think about what we do and why we do it. Experts urge that some of the abundance of time be used to clean up around the house. One might suppose that they secretly want us to move around. The sedentary life of home-office work doesn’t allow for the lengthy walk to get coffee or park the car.

Closets are being emptied. Old clothes are sorted for donation. Cabinets are cleaned and organized. Many will tackle the garage if we get a few steady days of warmer weather. But for others, we sort countless boxes of old photos to scan or assemble into books. In a world of social isolation, they remind us that we have been together and will be together again. They inspire us with past travel and spur us to believe we will travel again. They bring us together with people from whom we are separated. They bring perspective.

Rekindling warmth of family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s a COVID-19 miracle! After three weeks of self-isolation, the Wilson six-pack is still intact, and dare I say, thriving.

HUMOR I’m not kidding. For some unknown reason, our little family is getting along better than ever, which is quite unusual given the circumstances.

Typically, holidays and summer vacation are a nightmare. College kids return home, taking up space and air; dishes and denim debris multiply like fruit flies, which also generally make an appearance when the coping bottles of red wine start flowing; and the lack of schedule sends everyone, particularly me, into a crazed state, unable to function properly or be nice to anyone.

What gives? Maybe it’s the shared sense of surrealness that has each of my darlings trying his/her best to be kind and helpful.

Perhaps they understand they have no other choice and that Zoom conferencing with friends grows old after a while. Maybe they realize how lucky they are to be healthy and

safe, and that if we are to survive sans divorce or childhood emancipation, they have to rise to the occasion.

And rise they have. They are complying with the newly resurrected, often-maligned Chore Chart. They take turns grocery shopping (their only “live” social interaction), making dinner and, most recently, giving presentations in the evenings on everything from the Denver Airport conspiracy theory (it’s the Illuminati!) to the 10 most controversial men of all time (Mother Teresa was No. 1!). I’ve even heard them laughing. Together.

For real. And not at each other.

So, for me, the silver lining in all of this is the renewed joy of family. Truly a miracle.

Peace out.

ZIONSVILLE BUSINESS CANCELS OPENING DURING SHUTDOWN

Donna Lennox, owner of Events and Florals of Zionsville/Flower Shoppe of the Village, above, arranges flowers outside of her storefront on a nearly empty Main Street. After getting married, Lennox, who grew up in Zionsville, recently returned to town from Cincinnati after more than 40 years to open her business at 70 S. Main St. The business’ reveal party was initially planned for April 4, and a grand opening was planned for April 6. Both were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lennox said she hopes to open her business as soon as nonessential businesses are allowed to open again. (Photo by Jarred Meeks)

7 Way Hips: Reduce injury, improve health Commentary by Seth Tucker The 7 Way Hips exercise was designed by world-renowned speed coach Ryan Flaherty to help reduce risk of injury FITNESS and significantly impact the health of your hips, knees and back. Perform this exercise two to three times a week as a finisher for workout days or on your rest days. An instructional video from Flaherty is available on YouTube.

Begin by laying on your side with your legs extended. Keep your top hip aligned directly over, or slightly in front of, the bottom hip. Use your top arm to support yourself by placing your hand on the ground in front of you. For all of these movements, keep your leg fully extended, reaching out as far as you can with your heel and your toes turned slightly toward the ground.

The goal is to perform each movement for 15 consecutive repetitions and complete all seven without rest, though this will likely take time.

• Leg raise — Raise the top leg toward the ceiling and then lower back to the starting position, about 6 inches above the ground.

• Forward kick — With your heel about 6 inches above the ground, kick your foot forward while maintaining the straight leg position and then return to the starting position.

• Backward kick — With your heel about 6 inches above the ground, kick your foot as far back as you can without bending your knee. Don’t allow your top hip to move back behind your lower hip. Return to the starting position.

• Pendulum kick — Combine movements 2 and 3 by performing the forward kick, but instead of returning to the starting position, immediately perform the backward kick. Your leg should swing like a pendulum.

• Forward circles — Elevate your heel about 6 inches. Tthis will be the bottom of your circle. Using your heel, rotate your leg forward. Imagine tracing a circle in the air with a 12-inch diameter.

• Backward circles — Perform exactly as with forward circles but reverse the direction of your rotation.

• Bicycle motion — Elevate your heel about 6 inches. Bring your knee up toward your head until it is even with your hips and allow the knee to bend.

It should look as though you are pedaling a bicycle with long pedals. Return to the starting position and repeat.

Blue light glasses — Eyewear companies now offer a costly option for lenses that block blue light emitted by phones and tablets. It’s true that evening exposure to blue light can interfere with sleep. We still need exposure to blue light, however, during the daytime. It’s a natural component of sunlight and enhances attention, reaction times and mood. So, blue light-blocking glasses may do more harm than good.

Stutz artists Miles, Afshar share paintings in online open house

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Stutz Artists Association won’t hold its traditional open house this month, so it will do the next best thing: Hold ART an online event.

Each day in April, a different artist will be featured, including Fishers resident Anna Afshar and Carmel resident Heather Miles, who paints under the name H. Ward Miles in the art world. A deciMiles sion hasn’t been made whether the Stutz Open House, which was set for April 24-25 in the Stutz Building and Arts Center in Indianapolis, will be rescheduled.

The Stutz Artists Association’s social media channels will promote a daily featured artist that includes their works, biographical information and link to their contact details. Community members who want to participate can simply follow or like Stutz Artists on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The event is free for the public to click through and browse each day.

“I love being at Stutz because of the history of the building. There is a special feeling when you walk into the studios,” Afshar said. “It’s a great community of artists and like-minded people. Stutz has a reputation in the city as some sort of art Mecca and great support of the public.

Being at Stutz really skyrocketed my art business in the last two years. I love that there is great camaraderie among the artists.”

Afshar, who has been painting for 20 years and has had a studio at Stutz for two years, paints a lot of watercolors, especially en plein air (on location) when she travels the world or around her home state of Indiana.

“In my (Stutz) studio, I paint bigger watercolors on canvas as well as oils. Painting watercolor on canvas involves special preparation of the canvas,” said Afshar,

who has a small home studio where she paints most of her watercolors.

Afshar, who was born in Russia and grew up in Lithuania, typically teaches monthlong stints in Germany two or three times each year. She hopes her May classes might be rescheduled. She lived in Germany for two years and developed a following.

Afshar and Miles were co-chairs of the postponed open house.

“Our success and livelihoods depend on how many people see our work,” Afshar said. “I’m sure our sales will be affected for a long time by the poor economical situation in the world.”

Miles was a resident artist in 2018-19, earning a free studio for a year. That ended in July 2019, when she moved into a new studio. She said the online open house is a good way for artists to display their work.

“This is the only way we can do it right

now, and I know I’m staying home and shopping or looking online,” Miles said. “So, it’s a good way for people to see Indianapolis-area artists.”

Miles creates large abstract paintings.

“I miss the studio, but I can be inspired by literally anything,” Miles said. “There is a lot of inspiration with what is going on.”

Miles said the Stutz studio is a great place to create and sell her artwork. She was an arts teacher at Indianapolis Attucks High School for 16 years before becoming a full-time artist in 2018.

“Since going full time, I got the mural at the Indianapolis Airport and I have made a lot of work and traveled all throughout the country,” Miles said. “It’s been better than I ever expected it to be. This year has been different with so many events having to cancel.”

Patrons’ donations lift spirits

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com With so many performing arts organizations hurting with postponements because of the coronavirus pandemGIVING BACK ic, Civic Theatre Executive Director Michael Lasley is gratified with the community response.

“We are so humbled and moved by the generosity of our patrons,” Lasley said. “I don’t mind saying that I have been moved to tears on more than one occasion thinking about our amazing supporters and their families. It’s because of these gracious people that Civic can weather this storm.”

Civic Theatre’s “A Few Good Men” was set to start March 13 at the Studio Theatre Center for the Performing Arts, but it was postponed three hours before the curtain opened after Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb initially limited gatherings to 250 people or less. Civic’s production of “Matilda the Musical,” originally scheduled for April 24 to May 9, also has been postponed.

Center for the Performing Arts President Jeff McDermott said the Center and resident companies have received thousands of dollars in support through ticket donations.

“The performing arts world is deeply affected by this situation, but we know that’s true in every field, so it’s very gratifying to see our patrons supporting us and our resident companies in this way,” McDermott said.

The Center for the Performing Arts is presenting an online series called “Interlude With Virtual Arts and Entertainment.” The twice-weekly collection is emailed to anyone who has bought tickets for a Center for the Performing Arts performance. It also is available on the Center’s website, the centerpresents.org.

Civic Theatre is holding a weekly series of pop-up classes on its Facebook page at 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, so performers can continue honing acting, dance, art and theater skills from home. The workshops are free. Donations are not required to participate but are appreciated, according to a Civic Theatre press release.

CARRYOUT EDITION

Courtney’s Kitchen offers a wide variety of home-cooked meals, including Meatloaf with a Kick (top left), hand-pounded tenderloin (right) and Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie (bottom left).

(Photo by Anna Skinner)

Courtney’s Kitchen

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 654 W. Logan St., Noblesville What to get: Meatloaf with a Kick Price: $9.95 Anna’s take: If you’re anything like me, you’ve been living off of 5-minute rice during the stay-at-home directive (I’m talking to you, fellow millennials), so when I had the opportunity to visit Courtney’s Kitchen and enjoy some home-cooked meals, I raced there for

carryout. I tried the Meatloaf with a Kick, which is the daily special on Fridays and Saturdays. It’s a homemade meatloaf with a touch of jalapeño, smothered in beef gravy and served with a side of homemade mashed potatoes, green beans or your choice of vegetable and a roll. The meatloaf still tasted delicious when ordering carryout and eating it at home. I also tried the hand-pounded tenderloin ($9.95), a sandwich large enough for two meals. Order a petite version for $8.25.

I topped my meal with a slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie ($3.95). To be honest, I ate the pie first.

If you want to enjoy a home-cooked meal during your self-isolation experience, order it from Courtney’s Kitchen.

Blueprint for Improvement: Handsome home office in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• Beautiful cherry cabinetry stained with black highlights is now the star of the room.

The bookshelves, desk and cabinetry are set in a U-shape for comfort and convenience.

• Architectural ceiling beams and cherry wood paneling on the walls are stained to match the cabinetry. Gold wall scones add sophistication and style.

• The back wall now features a dry bar, with a wine refrigerator and built-in wine glass holder.

• The updated geographic cream print wool carpet makes the space feel bigger and brighter.

THE CHALLENGE Built in 1992, this Carmel home is in the Valley Brook neighborhood. Like many homes built during the ‘90s, the home office is just inside the front door and is quite visible to guests. It serves as both workspace and relaxing space, with a desk and TV. The homeowners wanted to spruce up the room with modern finishes and create more storage space.
