But some local health officials question the utility of the map. Boone County Health Dept. Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said the map, which will use data collected by the Indiana State Dept. of Health, would likely be outdated, thus failing to provide an up-to-date snapshot of community spread.

Haughton said data collected by the ISDH has consistently reported fewer cases and deaths in Boone County than the Boone County Health Dept. has throughout most of the pandemic, either because of delays in receiving test results, delays in data collection or incomplete data reporting.

Haughton said the lagging data the ISDH reports would also create a lagging map of community spread.

School funding The State Board of Education passed a resolution that will provide funding to schools as anticipated before the development of the public health emergency.

Schools whose students attended in-person classes in February but are learning virtually as of Sept. 18 will receive 100 percent funding as anticipated before the public health emergency.

Schools whose students attended virtually in February and are still offering only virtual classes will continue to receive 85 percent of anticipated funding.

“Until recently, we had not seen cases where people were definitively reinfected, but I can tell you that these are individuals who in a three- to four-month period of time once again became symptomatic and were tested and were positive.”

The Sycamore Street bridge in Zionsville was closed in February for repairs. (Submitted photo)

Bridge opening delayed

Current in Zionsville

Good Times Await

at the RETREAT Clubhouse!

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County officials said inclement weather and the COVID-19 pandemic were the causes of the delayed Zionsville’s Sycamore Street bridge TRANSPORTATION reopening.

The bridge was set to open to traffic Aug. 21. But the new tentative date is Sept. 17.

Craig Parks, director of the Boone County Highway Dept. and county engineer, said inclement weather throughout the closure led the project’s contractor, HIS Constructors, Inc., to ask for an extension to finish several uncompleted tasks.

“In the end, the remaining items left were painting the underside of the structure, the structural steel,” Parks said. “You have to paint it, protect it for preservation. And to access it, we had to keep the bridge closed down.”

Parks said another of the project’s uncompleted items was the installation of a guardrail.

The bridge was closed in February to repair deterioration that had accrued through several decades, something county officials cited as a safety concern. The bridge was last rehabilitated in the 1950s, Parks said. The project includes the reconstruction of the road bridge deck and bridge railing systems and installation of new decorative lighting.

Parks said the county was fortunate to only have the project delayed by three weeks. He said it is difficult to obtain the materials and labor needed to complete projects, which has been exacerbated by INDOT’s decision to accelerate some of its projects during the pandemic, which has further strained access to materials and labor at the county level.

Our clubhouse (coming Spring 2021) is designed as a haven for entertainment and exercise.

It’s where friends meet—and new friends are made —during culinary classes, poker and Pilates.

ZEF awards ZCS teachers more than $12,000 in grants

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Education Foundation has awarded more than $12,000 in classroom grants to Zionsville Community Schools teachers.

PANDEMIC The foundation aims to provide learning opportunities for students in typical, socially distanced and remote learning situations through the grants. ZEF officials said the four grants, totaling $12,160.67, give teachers the tools they need today “with a look toward future learning.”

“Spring circumstances affected so many aspects of life for our community, and the foundation’s Spring Classroom Grants cycle was impacted as well,” ZEF Executive Director Lyle Browne stated.

“We worked with grant applicants over the past few months to determine the viability and impact of their grant in the current environment.”

The grants were reviewed based on immediate practicality and long-term classroom impact.

“All four grants chosen will expand teaching options in today’s socially-distanced and hybrid learning, while also providing innovative approaches to instruction during conventional school models,” stated Challis Imes, the foundation’s board president.

The grants were awarded virtually. Browne and

ZEF Grants Committee Chair Jane Louiso taped congratulatory messages for each recipient. A committee comprised of Zionsville community volunteers and ZEF board members chose the recipients.

“We are grateful to this year’s Classroom Grant Committee for their flexibility and generosity of time,” Louiso stated. “Their thoughtful discussion ensured that the grants awarded are not only timely, but that they will have a lasting impact on education at (Zionsville Community Schools).”

The foundation, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, funds ZCS district schools thanks to individual, corporate, small business and family donors. In 2019, the foundation awarded more than $130,000 in support of ZCS teachers and students.

Zionsville Education Foundation 2020 Classroom Grants • Libby Berman and Cheri Mikesell, Pleasant View Elementary School ($2,885.98) Technology provided by the grant will be utilized in multiple ways to ensure quality instruction during all teaching situations. It will transform the classroom LCD projectors and computers into interactive whiteboards for all in-person instruction, provide socially distanced student engagement in the current learning environment or enhance video instruction options in the event of remote learning.

• Amy Knueven, Stonegate Elementary School ($2,299.90) K’Nex Kits will give students hands-on experience building, using and understanding simple machines. The materials can be used in typical learning situations as well as socially distanced classrooms. The grant provides 30 sets, giving each student in a class access to hands-on learning. The sets will be rotated among classes with time for cleaning in between.

• Emily Zucker, Union Elementary School ($2,035.99) Ukuleles will provide students an introduction to string instruments, teach chord patterns and spark conversations about cultural understandings. They will provide alternate instructional options, and a cart will enable the instruments to travel among classrooms providing flexibility in socially distanced learning.

The Boone County Commissioners unanimously approved the renewal of a contract with Comcast that will PANDEMIC deliver faster broadband speeds to meet an increased need for video conferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sean Horan of the Boone County Information Technology office said the contract is a replacement for the county’s current Comcast contract. He said the new contract ensures more reliability and broader bandwidth.

“Up until now, we hadn’t been using video conferencing a lot,” Horan said. “We used it for a few (judicial) cases from a video-arraignment perspective, for initial pleas. just so they didn’t have to transport the inmate from the jail to the courthouse. With the COVID situation, we expanded that considerably. They’re actually holding a lot more hearings beyond that. The prosecutor’s office (and) the probation office are both able to remote in to the courthouse. We’ve

actually opened it up to defense attorneys, depending on the situation.

“We are basically able to continue to hold court without actually having people in the courtroom besides the judge, so from a safety, social-distancing perspective, it’s much safer that way.”

Because of the increased usage of video conferencing, the county hit its current circuit’s threshold, Horan said.

Horan said the county’s current Comcast circuit has 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload speeds. The new circuit will provide 500 Mbps download and 500 Mbps upload speeds. The circuit will use fiber optic cable instead of coaxial cable to provide the faster download and upload speeds. During the commissioners’ Aug. 31 special meeting, Horan said installation would take about 100 days.

The contract will cost the county approximately $10,000 more a year, county officials said.

“There’s only so many providers in the area,” Horan said. “And if you go to that level of bandwidth, they’re all about that same price.”

Grandma to the purple phlox rescue Commentary by Donna Monday “Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission,” they say, and it’s frequently good advice. But I was a bit PLAIN TALK concerned that taking cityowned property might be a felony. I didn’t want to be a grandma felon.

So, I went the permission route. I waited until Monday morning to pack a shovel in my trunk and a bucket in the front seat of my little gray car. I was off not to steal but to

rescue a stand of 4-foot tall, gorgeous, fluffy purple phlox from the grim reaper in the form of an earth-moving truck right next to them.

What self-respecting, card-carrying member of the Village Garden Club would not do this?

What would Grandma have done? Besides, I was seeking permission, of sorts, when I showed up at the road construction site at Oak Street and 850 E. early Monday morning, shovel on my shoulder and bucket on my arm.

I had just walked about a city block along the Oak Street roadside in morning traffic,

“When it comes to my breast cancer, I choose to fight.

I just need to choose a team to help me win.”

having parked my car along a side street.

I asked a sweet young man in a reflective vest what he thought about my plan.

“I don’t know why not,” he said. “They’ll just get mowed down.”

That’s all I needed to hear.

Have I mentioned my bum feet from neuropathy? A shovel is not my friend. Nonetheless, I set about my mission. Thank goodness the sweet young man in the reflective vest was looking the other way when I fell onto my knees in the mud.

I surveyed the damage. Nothing a hot bath and a good Whirlpool washer couldn’t cure. I pulled myself upright, leaning on the shovel and got to work. In no time, I had liberated the pretty purple flowers from certain death.

I call them my pandemic posies — sure beats felony phlox, don’t you think? — and they look lovely in my garden. Grandma would be proud.

Two ZCHS graduates team up to inspire others

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Carson Canfield, 21, forged a special friendship in middle school, a friendship that the Zionsville Community High School graduate hopes will inspire others to be more inclusive.

Canfield, who is now a junior at Purdue University, ran on the middle school track team. He became friends with a teammate who, unbeknownst to him, had a disability. One of the team’s coaches who volunteered with Best Buddies International, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, saw the genteelness in which Canfield handled the situation and recommended that he join the organization.

“It’s a fun way to make friends for people who don’t normally have access to that,” Canfield said. “For us, going to classes and going to social events is how we make friends.

But sometimes people with disabilities aren’t included in that, so Best Buddies is kind of a way for people to make friends. Hopefully, the goal of Best Buddies is to not need Best Buddies, where everyone is inclusive in everyday life.”

After joining Best Buddies, Canfield met fellow ZCHS graduate and George Mason University senior Ann Catherine Heigl, 21, who has Down syndrome, during his freshmen year.

“We’ve been pretty close friends ever since then,” Canfield said.

Heigl was a cheerleader in high school, and she went on to become the nation’s first NCAA Division I cheerleader with a disability, she said.

“I started in middle school, then high school, then college,” Heigl said of cheerleading. “I did it all of those years, but it is kind of challenging.”

Canfield and Heigl have spent time together at several Best Buddies events. Heigl said her favorite event is the annual friendship walk in Indianapolis, one of the nonprofit’s fundraisers.

This year, Canfield and Heigl have partnered to compete in another fundraiser, the Virtual Best Buddies Indiana Champion of the Year Campaign. Canfield is the nominated champion, and Heigl is his campaign manager and “right-hand man.”

Through raising funds and awareness for Best Buddies, Anne Catherin Heigl and Carson Canfield will generate opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. (Submitted photo)

The Virtual Best Buddies Indiana Champion of the Year Campaign recognizes the community’s most active leaders in the name of inclusion. All participating champions were nominated by someone based on the work they’ve completed in Best Buddies. For the next several weeks, champions will collect donations and fundraise for Best Buddies in a philanthropic competition.

“Best Buddies is looking to get more chapters in more cities in Indiana,” Canfield said. “This fundraiser has helped do that in Indiana already, through the fundraiser last year, and to help a better Best Buddies job program to get more people with disabilities in stable jobs as well. Mine and my campaign manager’s goal is to raise as much money (as we can) so that we can help them in starting a new chapter or helping someone get a job through the Best Buddies job program.”

friendships, jobs, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At the campaign’s conclusion, the pair will celebrate each other’s accomplishments, honor the Champions’ collective impact and name the ultimate Champion of the Year.

Contributions to Canfield and Heigl’s campaign can be made by purchasing tickets, by becoming a corporate sponsor or by making a general donation to the cause. Follow Canfield on Instagram at @carcanfield24 and Heigl at @acheigl to learn more about their campaign.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE Carson Canfield said he has learned a lot from his time with the Best Buddies program, and he wants to continue to work for similar organizations after college.

“The biggest thing is learning how much people need friends,” Canfield said. “Not everyone can always say it, but once you see them with friends and in friendships and going out and doing things that everyone should be able to do, then you see how much they want it. And through everything that I’ve done with Best Buddies, my goal is to just make it normal.”

Canfield said his experiences in the Best Buddies program have changed him. He said someone is not defined by their disability and that when he sees someone with a disability, he views them as an equal and as a potential friend.

ESSAY

LETTER

Sales pitch

Alternate avenues for protesting

Commentary by Terry Anker “How can I have any confidence in your polls since you missed so far the last time I trusted you?” demanded the churlish evening newscaster. She had a good point. Those who are tasked with prognosticating our future based upon a series of questions to random humans tend to speak with what can only be described as “high confidence” in their own ability and methodology. Perhaps being self-possessed with certainty is a requirement to getting other people to listen. And getting other people to listen, it seems increasingly so these days, is the way to make money.

“Well,” retorted the rather portly and now visibly perspiring guest, “this time we have heavily over-weighted for the straight white male.” Other than following up with the expected “what does that mean?” the interviewer simply smiled a knowing smile, looked directly into the camera with a near wink and went to commercial. It seemed that the magic formula had been perfected and that the next round of alchemy would indeed produce gold from lead.

As business leaders, consumers and voters, we are routinely subjected to the predictions of these surveys. They determine the aroma of detergent, how long (and if) the Shamrock Shake will be available and the priority of many political agendas. It prevents us from making giant investments for something our customers don’t want. But too often, these prophecies are way off. New Coke comes to mind. Still, they generally work.

The art, it appears, is using good math to get good samples, hope that good luck shows up and exude strong confidence — a good deal of it — that anyone can really expect to know the future. But what happens when our well-intentioned, if not deserved, confidence leads to smugness and blinding hubris? Can we believe our own sales pitch?

Unleashing the poet within Commentary by Danielle Wilson Step aside, Shel Silverstein! There’s a new poet on the block, and she is me! Or rather, my 8-yearHUMOR old self. While rummaging through an old scrapbook recently, I discovered a newspaper cutout from 1980. A poem called “Silly Rules” by yours truly, which I will now share, in its entirety, with you, my adoring public: Do not jump on the beds, dad said, Do not jump on your sister’s doll’s head.

Do not put your pen in the Jell-O, Do not hit you sister with a pillow.

Do not go to school without your books, Do not go fishing without your hooks.

Do not jump on muddy chairs, Do not talk to bearded bears.

Honestly, I’m pretty impressed. The cadence feels a bit forced in my discerning opinion, and I committed the literary crime of unnecessarily repeating a word with “sister,” the horror. But the creativity? Well done, little Danielle! Pens in Jell-O? Bearded

bears? That’s imagination, people.

Is it any wonder, then, that some 40 years later I’ve become a global phenomenon? (If by “global,” I mean the Indy suburbs, and “phenom,” the three bimonthly hate mails I receive). The brilliance has been within me since second grade, just waiting for the new millennium to be unleashed again on the world. You’re welcome.

And I suppose I should thank you, too, for allowing me to unburden my talent each week. My already large head can inflate even further with the amount of awesomeness floating around up there. Of course, now that I’ve recalled my poetry skills, I might have to move on to bigger and better things.

Step aside, Shel Silverstein. Peace out.

My already large head can inflate even further with the amount of awesomeness floating around up there.

Of course, now that I’ve recalled my poetry skills, I might have to move on to bigger and better things.

Editor, It is past time for serious, nonviolent, demonstrating protestors to find other ways to express their views. To be properly heard and listened to, they must disassociate themselves from the violent extremists that have hijacked their method and messages. These rebellious hoodlums produce an anarchy with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the peaceful society brave soldiers have fought and died for, and which God has so greatly blessed.

Protesting has been given a bad name by those who abuse it. Alternate avenues are readily available and can have a great effect in bringing about reasonable change.

It is so easy to email the President of the United States, our state’s two senators and the representative from your district. Call local or Washington, D.C., offices. Write a note to the chief of police, or the mayor or a letter-to-the-editor of Current Publishing. Use social media in a responsible way.

Get those who believe as you do to follow your example. Hundreds or thousands of letters and phone calls will have a great impact.

And teach your children respect for the law, and the men and women in blue charged with upholding it.

Gordon B. Rose, Fishers

Tie-ing it all together Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I haven’t worn a tie in years — with one exception. I always wore one to the Unitarian Universalist Church on SunHUMOR day. That is, before we started Zooming our services. The ties were from my special collection of neckwear to honor legendary comedic heroes I admire. I’ve combed Amazon, searched eBay and Googled just about every name in hopes of finding some new ones. Meanwhile, here’s a look at a few faces in my collection.

Buster Keaton My favorite silent screen star. He wasn’t just silent, but expressionless. It’s not easy to be a comedy legend that way. Never watched one of his films? What else have you got to do this week? Watch “The General” first (it’s not about a general).

Laurel and Hardy Here’s the test of great comedy. I have seen many of their films, multiple times. I know exactly what is going to happen and I laugh before it happens. Watch as Stan in “Way Out West” gets into a giggling fit while an unscrupulous woman is trying to get a deed from his pocket. I giggle with him every time.

The Three Stooges If you are female, you will probably hate this tie. But if you are one the few women who love the Three Stooges, where were you when I was looking for a wife?

George Burns Gracie was the funny one, but George Burns was the ultimate straight man.

“Where did you get those flowers, Gracie?”

“Well, Mrs. Pincheon is in the hospital and you told me to take her flowers. I just got back from visiting her and I took them.”

Jack Benny He seldom made a joke himself, but the people around him — like his wife, Mary

Livingston, and his valet, Rochester — skewered the daylights out of him. Truth is, neither George Burns nor Jack got many laughs themselves; they left that reward to others.

Charlie Chaplin Chaplin was proof that silence is golden. On my Facebook page, there’s a photo showing this tie right in the middle of my collection. Chaplin was not my favorite comic legend, but it’s my favorite tie because it matches more shirts.

Lucille Ball This one features her in the episode where she is doing a TV spot for a nutritional elixir called “Vitameatavegamin” that contains 23 percent alcohol. It’s 100 percent funny.

W.C. Fields You know how unfair rumors can be.

You’ve probably heard he didn’t like kids, he drank too much and was a womanizer. Oh, wait, those were all true.

Abbott and Costello “Who’s On First?” is the classic comedy bit of all time. It wasn’t actually created by the iconic duo, but they revived and finetuned it from an old Vaudeville bit. I’ve listened to it a thousand times. I’ve even tried to do the routine with my friend (and former student) Peter Spellos. We know the words — we just don’t have the melody.

My wife hopes we will be back in church soon, so I have a place to wear my ties. It’s bad enough Mary Ellen must wake up next to me, but no woman should have to see Moe, Larry and Curly when she first opens her eyes.

Find community in senior living Commentary by Kara Shipman Loneliness and social isolation can be very damaging, especially for older adults.

Social isolation sigRELATIONSHIPS nificantly increases a person’s risk of premature death and is associated with a 50 percent increased risk of dementia. Poor social relationships also are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke as well as higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicide.

Sometimes, it’s hard to pull yourself out of the loneliness you are feeling, especially in today’s world — a world forcing us to distance from each other. But just because we are physically distant doesn’t mean we can’t still find and feel community with others. That’s where CarDon comes in.

The event, which had a capped attendance and staggered entries to accommodate social distancing, sold out, attracting many from around central Indiana. It also gave vendors without storefronts a place to sell their products.

Fishers filmmaker Query seeks to make first feature-length film

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The audience was left wanting more after seeing Dylan Query’s short film, “Cold Creek.”

FILM The Fishers resident is happy to oblige.

“After the crucial reception we got from our short film, we decided to make it our pilot,” he said. “We are continuing the story from the short film.”

Query has a GofFundMe page to produce his first feature-length film called “Cold Cross.”

“Cold Creek” was written by Query and his friend Jacob Stieneker, who stars in the short film. Query and Stieneker are graduates of Pike Central High School in Petersburg.

Query, who graduated from Ball State University in December 2019, majored in telecommunications and minored in entrepreneurship and digital media storytelling.

Query works as a digital media specialist at Alegion in Carmel and owns Query Productions, which films weddings, events and films.

When creating a short film called “ReTnE” while at Ball State, Query put out a casting call on Facebook.

“Jacob responded and said he was interested in acting in it,” Query said. “This was his first involvement in being in any kind of film production. We submitted it to Ball State’s Frog Baby Festival, and we ended up winning three awards at the festival.

That whole experience inspired Jacob.”

A couple of months later, Stieneker told Query he had an idea for a Western and asked if he would be interested in making it.

“I realized I wanted to encourage his newfound passion,” Query said. “We ended up making ‘Cold Creek,’ and that was kind of my swan song for being at Ball State.”

The film, directed by Query, revolves around William McCarthy, played by Stieneker, who returns years later to seek revenge on the sheriff for the murder of his parents.

“Cold Creek” received thousands of views on Facebook and was chosen for several film festivals. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, several festivals have been postponed or canceled.

“Cold Creek” won Best Short Film at Popcon’s inaugural International Film Festival in Indianapolis. The film also won Best Director, Best Actor and Best Cinematography at the 2020 Frog Baby Festival.

Query said they are still working on a script for a full-length version.

“While we are writing the script, we are fundraising for the product itself,” he said.

“Our goal is to actually start filming this fall.”

As of Sept. 1, nearly half of the $10,000 goal has been raised. The money raised will be specifically used for talent, props and location rentals.

“We want to invest in local talent,” Query said. “We want to rent local venues to film. With my production company, I have all the gear I need to do this.”

Since the pandemic started, more

actors and actresses are looking for opportunities.

Query’s goal is to succeed as a filmmaker while staying in Indiana.

“Indiana has tried to pass a film incentive bill on several occasions. Unfortunately, it hasn’t passed yet,” he said. “I’m not entirely sure had it been passed (that) it was the right time for Indiana. If you look at the other states that are getting popular with filmmaking, Georgia, for instance, since 2012, their filmmaking has grown exponentially, creating thousands and thousands of jobs. Before the big boom, Georgia started investing in filmmaker infrastructure. They started investing in production studios and sound stages. They started to build the solid base and then came the film incentive bill. It was a good, well-thought out process.”

Query said the next film bill should play to Indiana’s strengths.

Celtic Pretzel

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Noblesville Farmers Market, 175 S.

Celtic Pretzel offers two types of pretzels – the classic, served with or without coarse sea salt, and The Sugar & Spice, which is topped with turbinado sugar and ground cinnamon.

Pretzels are made fresh from Killian’s Irish Red Lager, Irish butter and Celtic sea salt. They are hand-rolled. Celtic Pretzel’s only machinery is a warming oven. The pretzels are a great treat as fall approaches.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern living in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

THE SOLUTION 1. The built-ins were replaced with floating acrylic laminate cabinetry and custom-made floating poplar shelves. The cabinets are topped with quartz.

2. The fireplace is now the star of the room, covered in a beautiful tile that mimics burnished steel. The firebox was converted from woodburning to gas.

3. The hearth was designed with a recessed space to accommodate the television.

4. Luxury vinyl flooring provides clean lines and unparalleled durability.

THE CHALLENGE

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling; email him at lgreene@caseindy. com. Visit caseindy. com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

This 1977 home is in Zionsville’s Colony Woods neighborhood. The homeowners wanted to update the family room fireplace and surrounding built-ins with a clean, modern style.
