California was the first. for patients.

According to the most recent ISDH data, Hoosiers can get tested without visiting

a health care provider. Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said she will issue a standing order for testing for any Hoosier who meets the criteria.

To sign up for an appointment, Hoosiers must register through an Optum portal and self-report symptoms using an online screening tool. A hotline number is expected to be added soon. Test results will be available within 48 hours on average, according to the ISDH. On April 29, the ISDH announced a plan to bolster the state’s contact-tracing efforts. It will centralize all contact tracing for COVID-19 through the ISDH for all Indiana counties beginning May 11.

When positive cases are identified, notifications will be sent to the centralized contact-tracing system, according to the ISDH. The infected person will be immediately notified and interviewed to try to determine all of their close contacts. The person will then be instructed to isolate for 14 days or seek treatment and will be given any help that is needed.

Indiana entered a $43 million contract with Maximus that renews yearly to open a call center staffed with more than 500 people trained by ISDH epidemiologists to conduct contact tracing for the disease.

Health care workforce reserves and public health and medical students are expected to assist in the effort, though the staff may consist of workers who don’t have medical degrees. Coordinators, epidemiologists and managers will supervise the staff.

As of April 29, 964 Hoosiers had died of COVID-19.

On the state’s online dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov, officials plan listed presumptive positive deaths separately and not add them to the current cumulative COVID-19 death total. As of April 29, the state had reported 101 presumptive positive COVID-19 deaths; 91,550 tests have been reported to the ISDH; and more than 17,000 Indiana residents had been diagnosed with the disease.

Zionsville Road nears completion after construction resumes

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Town Council President Josh Garrett said the question he is asked the most lately is, “What is happening CONSTRUCTION with Zionsville Road?”

Zionsville Road is in the midst of a significant reconstruction project, and most of the road has been dotted with a snaking path of orange traffic cones. The project will widen the road, which will go from two to three lanes when a center turn lane is added between Technology Center Drive and 106th Street. The project also includes adding a bike path on the west side of the road.

Zionsville Street and Stormwater Supt.

Lance Lantz said residents are “experiencing a typical road project.”

Lantz said during a livestream Q&A that the town has two options when confronted with significant reconstruction projects: It can either close the road to through-traffic, or it can close the road completely and build temporary roads adjacent to the one under construction. The town chose the former to expedite construction.

When the project started, Zionsville officials determined they could save two months of construction time and $440,000 by closing through-traffic and saving the expenses associated with building temporary roads.

Zionsville Road was in need of repair, Lantz said, because it has served multiple railroads in the past.

“As much preparatory work that you try to do to determine what is going on under the ground, you’re encountering old railroad foundation,” said Lantz, noting that the foundation hampered the efficiencty of heavy machinery, such as bulldozers.

Utilities also follow roadways, and Lantz said along Zionsville Road there are at least a dozen utilities that needed to be worked around. “(Work crews) sort of know where things are (but) they sort of don’t,” Lantz said. “On a level plane, on a horizontal control they know where they are. You throw in some relic items, artifacts from two or three old railroads that ran through there and then all the utilities – it’s a very challenging corridor to redevelop.”

Lantz said the project has been delayed two to three months because of the difficulties crews have experienced needing to stop frequently and because of weather.

But he said the project has not been delayed because of COVID-19 because the state has allowed for construction to continue through the governor’s stay-at-home order. The project is scheduled to finish this month, according to town officials.

Before construction halted for the winter in December, Lantz said the project was nearly finished, except for a final resurfacing layer. Now that weather allows, the final resurfacing layer will be added to the road. Work began last week. The road opened to all traffic on Dec. 23, 2019, but while roadwork was suspended for the rest of the winter season, Duke Energy continued to install decorative streetlights.

The Whitestown Fire Dept. has partnered with the Behavior Analysis Center for Autism to develop comfort kits to help children with autism during PARTNERSHIP emergency situations.

“Emergencies are already tense and stressful. Having comfort kits will help our first responders when they respond to a scene involving a child with autism,” Whitestown Fire Chief Josh Westrich stated.

About 1 in 54 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder, according to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network.

Children with autism can become overwhelmed while interacting with first responders during emergency situations, according to town officials. Items in the kit help to keep children calm and reduce noise, a common stressor for those with autism, in addition to aiding them in communicating with first responders.

The three kits being used by the department include items such as noise-canceling

headphones and sunglasses to mitigate unpleasant sights and sounds during emergency situations. Also included are sensory toys that can serve as preferred items, and a weighted blanket, which can soothe the child.

“It is essential for first responders to understand autism and be prepared to respond effectively and safely,” Westrich stated. “We are grateful for BACA’s assistance not only in creating the comfort kits, but also in developing a training video for our team to utilize them.”

Milk & Meat program begins delivering food

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Western Boone FFA chapter recently made its first food deliveries as part of its Milk & Meat for Boone PANDEMIC County campaign.

The chapter gifted 30 pounds of sausage to the Lebanon Boys & Girls Club, an after-school child-care nonprofit, on April 28 and donated 400 pounds of pork to The Caring Center, a Boone County food pantry, on April 29. The donations were the campaign’s first.

The campaign was started in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the creation of the campaign, which aims to raise funds to buy milk and meat products to donate to food pantries in Boone County, chapter members have raised more than $13,000.

Initially, the chapter pledged $1,000 to the campaign, with a goal of raising $7,500. Soon after, the chapter raised its goal to $10,000.

After meeting that goal, it was raised to $20,000. Thanks to an anonymous donor, the

chapter will quadruple all donations.

“Things are not great right now in the production of the agriculture world,” Travis Terhaar, an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at Western Boone Junior-Senior High School, said during a Zoom meeting with Boone County officials. “Commodity prices are extremely low, and it’s been very disheartening for farmers.”

Chapter members want to help farmers and serve the community by providing food and protecting individuals and families from food insecurity during the pandemic, especially while unemployment numbers continue to reach record highs because of stay-at-home orders.

The campaign has been so successful that Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb congratulated the chapter during a recent press conference, saying the it was “addressing a central need.”

Brizzi: China exploited crisis Commentary by Carl Brizzi Prosecutors are trained to follow evidence. A case is rapidly building against China that in addition to delibOPINION erately covering up and suppressing information about the coronavirus outbreak, Chinese agents are now disseminating false information promoting anti-American conspiracy theories. According to the New York Times, Chinese officials are now taking advantage of the crisis to spread disinformation and widen political divisions in the United States.

The fact that China would exploit the crisis it created by flooding U.S. social media with disinformation to foment further chaos is evidence of its nefarious intentions. If we follow the evidence, a timeline of China’s initial response shows that doctors in Wuhan were aware of the virus as early as Dec. 21, 2019.

The Chinese government began quarantining medical staff on Dec. 25, 2019, which is further evidence they were aware of the possibility of human-to-human transmission. However, on Dec. 31, 2019, the Wuhan Health Commission declared that it had

“not found any evidence of human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.”

Even more pernicious, on Jan. 1, the Chinese government censored, and detained, eight doctors from speaking about the outbreak and its dangers, accusing them of “spreading rumors.” It took 17 days from the time Chinese researchers discovered the COVID-19 genome sequence before they reported the outbreak to the world. By this point, millions had already visited and left Wuhan during their Lunar New Year celebrations.

If China’s government is going to act like a tyrannical criminal enterprise promoting a climate of fear, censorship and misinformation, then we need to start treating it like the obvious enemy it is.

China is not a responsible global actor and needs to be held accountable.

Recollections of the Northwoods Editors note: This column originally ran May 5, 2019.

Commentary by Ward Degler Something happens every spring that surprises me. It’s a smell that I associate with the forest; a punPLAIN TALK gent, earthy smell, the dank aroma of awakening vegetation.

I grew up with this smell in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Dad was a forester with the Civilian Conservation Corps, part of the government’s effort to bring the nation out of the Great Depression.

The CCC performed double duty. It provided work for a virtual army of men who otherwise would be idle, znd it provided the manpower to restore one of nature’s great gifts – the Chequamegon National Forest.

The forest comprised a million-and-a-half acres of virgin timber in Northern Wisconsin. Untouched stands of spruce, pine, balsam and hardwoods. Early lumber interests had swept in around the turn of the 20th century and clear-cut giant sections of it.

The government recognized the forest was in danger of being obliterated. In 1933, it established the CCC to replant the forest.

From 1933 through 1941, Dad’s CCC boys planted an estimated 10 million trees. They also fought forest fires and built rudimentary roads through the forest.

The Chequamegon is the home of black bear, wolverines, badgers and whitetail deer. It also is plush with glacial lakes, swampland and bogs. Dad charged waistdeep through a bog to escape an angry fe-

male bear with cubs he had surprised while cruising timber. He hoped she wouldn’t leave her cubs to pursue him through the water. He was right.

On another occasion, he shinnied up a tree to get away from a disagreeable badger. It was dark by the time the badger left the scene and he had to rely on his cigarette lighter to help him find the compass he dropped on his way up the tree.

Wild cranberry bogs dot the landscape, and one Sunday in late fall Dad waded into the freezing water to collect berries for Thanksgiving dinner. Mom had to rub his legs with a towel to restore his circulation.

We also strung cranberries and popcorn into garlands for our Christmas tree that year.

There is a silence in those woods that gives you the feeling you are being watched. Once, when Dad took me with him to work, he put me in the care of an old Chippewa Indian gentleman who did odd jobs at the camp. He showed me that we were indeed being watched. He had me sit motionless at the edge of a stream so I could see the deer, skunk, wolves and lynx that came to the stream to drink.

I’ve been back to the Chequamegon a couple times. It’s different now. More grown up, I guess.

But there is still that smell. And the silence.

Giving Tuesday — The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County leaders are asking residents to help fund the club’s meal program on Giving Tuesday. The meal program, established in mid-March when schools moved to eLearning and the statewide stay-at-home executive order was issued, has served nearly 6,000 meals to county residents, to date. The club is committed to ensuring

community members who are financially challenged receive at least one hot meal a day and are asking for the community’s support on May 5. The average cost of a hot meal including supplies is $4 per person per day, and the club serves an average of 250 people each day. To fully fund the cost of food and supplies for the meal program through the end of May will take at least $50,000, according to club leaders. Gifts will be matched up to $20,000 thanks to a matching donor. The Club also needs volunteers each evening to pack meals for the program. Business owners that want to provide donated food/meals or sponsor meals also are needed to sustain the program. Contact Katie Reasoner, the club’s resource development director, for more information and details.

Mental health

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

Local health experts have confirmed a need for mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. State and local agencies have responded with COVER STORY the creation of a website offering free mental health resources and the opportunity to donate resources to alleviate common stressors, such as food insecurity.

“Each and every one of us are definitely experiencing just completely unprecedented times,” Boone County Health Dept. Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said. “Our routines that we’ve come to know and expect have completely gone out the window, and so there really is no manual that tells you how to react to things.”

Haughton said Indiana residents are experiencing a crisis which “can cause a lot of mental stress.”

In response, on April 27 the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration launched a new website, BeWellIndiana.org, that provides Hoosiers with free mental health resources. The site aims to help people with the increase in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues caused by the pandemic.

To help individuals and families cope, the site offers resources and recommendations, including home-schooling tips, ways to work from home, information on coping with a job loss and how to address medical questions and concerns. The administration also assists with insurance, unemployment, child care and food insecurity.

Initially, BeWellIndiana.org will focus on mental health challenges caused by COVID-19, but it will evolve as a resource beyond the current crisis, according to state officials.

Hoosiers can visit BeWellIndiana.org to find expert-backed resources curated by the FSSA’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction, including information ranging from coping mechanisms, crisis counseling, how to self-monitor for signs of stress, domestic violence resources, substance-use disorder and recovery and tips for helping children, youth and teens.

Videos featuring medical experts, people in recovery and Indiana clinicians addressing specific mental health topics also are available on the site.

For Hoosiers experiencing increased anxiety, mood swings, loss of sleep, change in sleep or uncertainty, BeWellIndiana.org also provides a link to simple self-assessments, offered by Mental Health America, to help users determine if they could benefit from seeking mental health support, but the immediate results are not to be used as a medical diagnosis. The free mental health screenings also can be accessed online at mhanational.org.

“It is imperative that we recognize how our mental health is affected by this pandemic,” Gov. Eric Holcomb stated.

What the state and Boone County are doing to help residents Mental Health America of Boone County and many other local agencies are helping residents experiencing mental health conditions during the pandemic.

“I am proud of the public/private collaboration and expertise from so many of our partners captured in this single resource. BeWellIndiana.org is a reflection of the care and concern our fellow Hoosiers have for one another.”

Local agencies have responded by offering a variety of mental health resources.

Mental Health America of Boone County offers its assistance hotline for people to report potential abuse. The organization also offers child care for essential workers and provides free weekend meals to families. It also has offered webinars covering everything from domestic abuse to shopping tips.

Mental Health America of Boone County’s CEO Pascal Fettig said he’s concerned about the number of people reporting that they are suffering from mental health conditions for the first time.

“They don’t know what to do,” Fettig said. “Their anxiety is going up. Their depression is showing signs (of worsening). Kids are being basically shut in as well and are rising in their undesirable behavior, so I’m worried about their mental health.

“Mental health is once again being put in the back seat, and that’s a big concern. We need people to be ready to do some more talking about mental health.”

In addition, Inwell Integrative Wellness offers telehealth and in-person services. InWell also has stayed connected with local schools to serve children and Witham Health Services to connect clients to appropriate mental health resources. In addition, Aspire Indiana offers virtual services, helping new clients who are seeking help for the first tiemfrom their own home. Its 24-hour hotline is still available, as is its job program.

Cummins Behavioral Health Systems is offering telehealth services. Its crisis hotline is available, too, as is its virtual youth and parent support groups.

Prevent Child Abuse Boone County has worked to raise awareness of child abuse and works with foster children to ensure they have the resources needed to use eLearning.

REDUCING MENTAL HEALTH STRESSORS Local agencies are working to alleviate common stressors that contribute to mental health issues.

“Everyone that has jumped in and helped with food is helping lower the anxiety because, you know, finding out where your next meal is coming from is going to raise your anxiety,” Mental Health America of Boone County CEO Pascal Fettig said. “And if you’re providing for a family of four, it’s going to raise your anxiety and raise your frustration, stress level, and that’s going to lead to more domestic violence. That’s going to lead to more mental health issues.”

To date, the community has responded by providing several locations for individuals and families to pick up free meals. Lebanon, Western Boone and Zionsville schools have all offered food packages for Boone County families. The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County, Love, Inc., Shalom House and the Boone County Caring Center have all provided Boone County residents with free food, totaling thousands of free meals each week, during the pandemic.

The ARC of Greater Boone County offers free grocery pick-up and delivery and has redeployed staff to assist clients who need support at home. The Boone County Cancer Society has continued to offer services to clients, such as grocery pick-up and delivery. And the Boone County Senior Services, Inc., offers public transportation and in-home services, in addition to grocery pick-up and delivery services.

Control reset

USPS reminders

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, The United States Postal Service is committed to delivering your mail and packages throughout the current pandemic. We are proud of our role in providing an essential service to every community.

We would like to share the following information and requests: • USPS wants to help keep you – and our employees – safe. We ask for you to maintain a safe distance at all times. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends keeping a distance of 6 feet or more between other individuals.

Please allow a safe distance between you and your letter carrier or post office clerk while they are performing their duties.

• Please remember anything without postage and not related to USPS business should not be placed in mailboxes.

• It is important to note the CDC, the World Health Organization and the U.S. Surgeon General have all said there is very low risk that this virus is being spread through mail.

Our mission to bind the nation together is achieved through the tireless efforts and sacrifices of our dedicated employees. Thank you.

Sincerely, Paul Chaffee, postmaster, Zionsville

Working remotely brings with it a number of tangible and intangible benefits. The boss can’t walk by and see the fantasy football planner on our computer screen. We get to take coffee breaks with people that we, not HR, picked.

And, nobody steals our lunch from the company refrigerator. Yet, like all things, with the apparent benefits come some measurable downsides. We have to buy our own K-cups. We have to clean our own bathrooms. Even more painful, we are dependent on the gods of the internet, and IT support is us.

Folks are all too eager to control our choices. With each “upgrade” to many software applications, programmers “helpfully” reset our devices to the “preferred” defaults. Sure, we’d like them to send us as much junk mail as possible.

It is already difficult to get through a telephone call with an essential client saying they’ve decided to wait on their order “until this is all over – maybe spring of 2021” while our 4 year-old is asking us to replace the batteries in her favorite toy. Now, we are getting “important” text updates from the retailer where we bought novelty Fourth of July socks in 2018. It is good that they are washing their hands before packing their discounted Baby Yoda hosiery, but is it really an urgent update?

Who gets to set, or reset, our settings? By using the phone, computer, internet provider or social media platform, did we really agree to surrender all freedom? Is it a natural consequence of humanity that our desire to regulate others increases even as we are feeling more powerless ourselves? Plus, the various application authorities are often in conflict, each demanding priority command over us, causing the whole system to lock-up. Do they have resetting control, or can we reasonably demand our own independent license?

Misery loves (family) company Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve been doing a ton of self-reflecting lately, mostly to figure out why I can’t embrace the misery and love my HUMOR family. Other people seem to be doing it. Why can’t I? This introspection has prompted several trips down memory lane, the longest of which was to another godforsaken time in my life when I was a stay-at-home mom with four children under 5. Talk about being miserable. Minimal adult interaction, debilitating boredom (“No. More. Polly Pockets!”) broken only by short bursts of crisis management (“Whose blood is this?”) and pure jealousy that my husband, Doo, got to leave the house each morning to do important, grown-up things.

Then it hit me. I’ve been writing this column for 13 years. Thirteen! I started as a way to cope with my “domestic role,” to vent my fears and frustrations about parenting and marriage. Also because some really funny shtick happens in a house full

of rugrats that simply had to be shared.

Ever witness a toddler poo fight? Classic.

Though I’m now a working mom of mostly adult kids, this column has remained a weekly ritual that allows me to analyze and purge the emotions I bottle up (because big girls don’t cry!). Rage, bitterness, the overwhelming desire to judge other women -- I have an outlet to express myself and hopefully connect with like-minded people (I know you’re there!) This column is therapy -- so much so that I still look forward to sitting down and writing. It gives me perspective on “the misery” and reminds me that I do, in fact, love my family, even though I constantly want to off them.

Peace out.

Sunshine after the storm Commentary by Carol Applegate We have all been at home for so long that it is difficult to think life, as we knew it, will ever return. I was feeling a HOSPITALS little hopeless as I awoke this morning, looking for encouragement and a positive perspective on my daily routine. That hope came later when I was privileged to hear Dr. Ryan Nagy, IU Health Methodist president, give an update on COVID-19 to the members of the IU Health Foundation.

The report reassured us that the hospital was stable with the number of COVID-19 patients remaining steady. There were zero employees lost to the virus, and the few that had tested positive were recovering.

The staff was able to work in a controlled and manageable environment. This is not the story that was heard from other hospitals in New York and Chicago.

So, why the difference? In my opinion, we are very fortunate to have strong health care leadership and top-notch facilities.

With three major hospital systems in Indianapolis, not only do we have a higher capacity for sick patients and staff to care for those patients, but we also have had adequate supplies. Our hospitals are financially

stable, which has allowed us to respond to the crisis in a timely manner.

However, one of the major issues that we have faced is testing. IU Health is now able to do its own testing within its facility, which means it also is able to process 3,500 tests a day. This is huge progress!

Because of this, IU Health also is reaching out to provide testing supplies to a nearby long-term care facility. This will allow all facility residents to receive testing and get their results in a shortened amount of time.

Hopefully, this testing can be expanded throughout Indiana when supplies are adequate to do so.

From one who worries about the most vulnerable population, our elderly, and who has witnessed the agony that patients and families have had to endure when they are unable to see their loved ones in a facility, this was great news to me.

Emergency rooms prepared to safely treat patients news@currentzionsville.com Even though hospitals are caring for patients with COVID-19, clinicians want to reassure the public that HOSPITALS individuals who need emergency care should not delay treatment.

“We are seeing a concerning drop in the number of people coming in for serious non-COVID-related issues,” said Dr. William Freudenthal, president of St. Vincent Emergency Physicians. “Staying home, ignoring the symptoms and suffering out of fear of COVID-19 is a risk people shouldn’t take with their health. Timely treatment is critically important for achieving the best outcomes and lessening the risk of complications.

We are prepared and set up to safely treat patients who require emergency care.

No patient should delay their care in an emergency.”

Ascension St. Vincent hospitals are

equipped to safely protect patients from potential exposure to COVID-19 while taking care of their chest pain, stroke symptoms, traumatic injuries, emotional and mental health and any other acute medical or surgical needs. Separate intake and care areas, waiting room distancing, staff screening, ongoing use of personal protective equipment, as well as extensive safety and sanitization protocols, are in place to ensure all patients are cared for in a protected environment.

Medical professionals also encourage individuals who have preexisting conditions to continue their routine care to stay healthy. Patients should call their primary care provider or specialist to discuss whether an online visit is a good option.

Anyone experiencing a life-threatening emergency, difficulty breathing or warning signs of a heart attack or stroke should go directly to the emergency room or dial 911.

Online at youarecurrent.com/vote To our readers: In the face of changing conditions and practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date of Indiana’s primary election has been moved to June 2.

There exists the possibility that date may be moved again.

Since many residents are opting for absentee voting for reasons of date uncertainty and social distancing, Current Publishing will provide its usual voting content online beginning May 5 and running through June 2. You may find it at youarecurrent.com/vote.

We believe this is the best way to keep early voters, and even those who wish to wait for the eventual election day, up to speed on each candidate, polling places and other pertinent information.

We sincerely thank you for reading Current.

Workout with no equipment Commentary by Seth Tucker It is sometimes necessary to maintain your strength and fitness without access to a gym or equipment. With FITNESS only your body and a little space to move in, you can improve your overall health without issue.

Try this routine for a simple but effective workout.

Burpee (for an easier version, try four sets of 15 reps. For a harder version, try three sets of 25 reps): From a standing position with feet close together, crouch down and place your hands just outside and in front of your feet.

Keeping your hands planted, jump backward with your feet so that you are extended in a full pushup position in what would be the top of a pushup. From there, perform a pushup while maintaining a neutral head, neck and spine. That is, avoid letting your hips sag down or push up in the air. You should maintain a straight line from your ankles to your head, keeping your core engaged. Keep your elbows tucked in closer to your body and avoid flaring them out to reduce the risk of injury.

After you do a full pushup and are at the top of the pushup position, you will reverse the initial jump-back motion by keeping your hands planted and jumping forward with your feet so they land just behind your

hands. Immediately jump up while reaching straight above. Upon landing, come all the way down to the crouched position with your hands just outside your feet and repeat the process.

If you are unable to perform proper pushups with your legs fully extended, simply do the pushup portion of the burpee from your knees. You should still maintain proper form as described.

Bird Dog: Three sets of eight reps each side (for an easier version, try a 5-second hold. For a harder version, try a 10-second hold) Get down on hands and knees with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees directly under your hips. Your head should be in line with your back and hips to keep your entire torso parallel to the ground. Extend your right arm out and your left leg straight out behind you. Both limbs should be at or just below parallel with the ground. Keep your hips and shoulders parallel with the ground through the whole movement. Hold the top of the position for 5 to 10 seconds, then slowly lower to the starting position. Alternate sides.

How to prevent foggy glasses from face mask wear — Homemade face masks are becoming the norm as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the United States, with some states — namely New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and beyond — now requiring them in public.

But if you are a glasses wearer, you may have noticed that wearing a face mask can cause your lenses to fog. There appears to be a simple solution. In a 2011 study by the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, researchers advised washing the glasses with soapy water “immediately” before wearing a face mask. After shaking off any excess water, “let the spectacles air dry or gently dry off the lenses with a soft tissue before putting them back on. Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn,” they wrote.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern marble kitchen in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• The support columns dividing the kitchen from the family room were removed. In their place, an arched walkway was constructed. • All new maple cabinetry was installed along the perimeter and the island. The space now has a wealth of storage and organization solutions, including heavy-duty roll-out trays, an appliance garage, built-in wine rack and a spice rack insert next to the cooktop. • The Carrara marble backsplash is laid in a herringbone pattern; the countertop is white dolomite.

THE CHALLENGE This 2008 home is in Carmel’s Shelbourne Estates neighborhood. The original kitchen was finished in dark tones and featured support columns that closed the kitchen off to the adjoining living room. The new homeowners wanted to create a more open, airy space for their growing family.

How to pre-order: Items must be ordered by May 6 and are available for pickup May 10.

The timing seemed right to Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey McDermott, STAGE McDermott announced April 24 that the Carmel center will be closed for programming through June 30. That includes three venues: The Tarkington, the Palladium McDermott and the Studio Theater.

Initially, the venues were closed until May 11 due to gathering restrictions because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Among the events affected are Jr. Civic’s production of “Frozen Jr.,” set for June 19-24.

McDermott said Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home extensions tend to be between one- and three-week increments.

“For performing arts, that’s difficult because you have to deal with rehearsals and travel and things like that, so you have to take a bit of a longer view,” McDermott said.

“We felt we had to add some certainty to things beyond what the executive orders were able to provide.”

McDermott said the situation has made completing the 2020-21 season difficult.

“It’s a fluid situation unlike any of us has to deal with before,” he said. “We had a lot of the season scheduled, but we didn’t have it ready to go and ready to announce yet.

Normally, we’d be announcing the entire season in the mid-May time frame. We are still taking a wait-and-see approach. There are too many moving pieces and too many unknowns.”

McDermott said the Great American Songbook Foundation will hold its annual Songbook Academy featuring approximately 40 high school students. However, it is possible the July 11-18 event will be held as a virtual program rather than at the Palladium.

“We are coming up with three or four different scenarios, but I can say with a lot of confidence it’s going to be great program this summer, one way or another,” McDermott said.

Three performances were originally scheduled for May 8-9 before school was closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It will be released through a private YouTube link. Zionsville Show Choirs Inc. President David Hebron is asking those interested in seeing the program to consider making a donation.

Rise’n Roll Bakery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9705 Fishers District Dr. What to get: Crunch Bismark Price: $1.79 Anna’s take: Let me preface by saying I despise people who take to social media to complain about a restaurant without consulting management first, and I’ve never had to write a negative review, whether restaurants knew I was coming or not, and I have been excited to try Rise’n Roll Bakery, a bakery started by an Amish couple in

Middlebury famous for its cinnamon caramel doughnut. A location recently opened in Fishers District, and I thought I’d give it a go.

I ordered one cinnamon caramel doughnut, one Crunch Bismark doughnut and a pack of three cowboy cookies. I arrived, paid and ate one cookie in the car. It was amazing. Upon arriving home, I realized I had been given a plain glazed doughnut instead of a cinnamon caramel crunch. I ate it, and it was good, but I remind everyone to check their bags before rushing home to stuff their face with doughnuts. I did not call the bakery, but I’m sure if I had, they would have remedied the situation. That said, I definitely would return to Rise’n Roll because I still haven’t tried that famous cinnamon caramel doughnut.
