County officials prepare plans for COVID-19 vaccine distribution

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County officials are preparing preliminary plans to distribute COVID-19 immunizations, whenever a PANDEMIC viable vaccine is approved, to residents when they are made available, in accordance with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At the Sept. 8 Boone County Commissioners meeting, the commissioners unanimously voted to extend the county’s state of emergency, citing a need to prepare distributions of a potential COVID-19 vaccine.

Boone County Health Dept. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Tom Ryan said the department reported 18 additional COVID-19 cases during the Sept. 5-6 weekend, which he said is less than the estimated 22 to 25 cases the county has seen in recent weekends. In total, 957 COVID-19 positive cases had been reported in the county as of Sept. 8.

“We understand our numbers are going down a little bit,” Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said. “But part of continuing this state of emergency is for us to be prepared for our next phase, which is giving out immunizations when they become available, and also keeping up with the emergency quick response that we would need if something was to break out.”

The CDC has outlined a plan for health officials in all states to prepare preliminary distribution plans for vaccine candidates.

The guidance said officials should be prepared to distribute a vaccine to vulnerable residents and some essential workers as soon as late October or early November.

“It gives us about a month to plan for a community of 68,000, granted that, obviously, we will be dealing with it in waves,” Ryan said. “Your health care workers, longterm care facilities/residents, vulnerable populations will be in that first wave, so we are not dealing with the entire population of Boone County to begin with.”

County nonprofits offer support for students

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County secondary school children now have access to hybrid-learning support programs thanks to Mental PANDEMIC Health of America of Boone County and the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County.

Although all Boone County school districts have allowed elementary students to fully return to in-person classes, secondary schools in the districts have adopted a hybrid model of learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, sequestering students into cohorts and limiting the number of days they attend in-person classes. As a result, secondary students participate in distanced learning most days of the week.

Two Boone County nonprofits have offered assistance to students and parents who juggle different schedules. Mental Health of America of Boone County offers before- and after-school care and eLearning support for Lebanon and Western Boone students, and the Boys & Girls Club of

Boone County offers the same services for all Boone County students.

“At the middle school level, we have some kids who are struggling a bit and some of them are plain old not mature enough to be left in a home (by themselves) or, for that matter, even with parents working from home,” Mental Health of America of Boone County President and CEO Pascal Fettig said.

Fettig said the nonprofit provides supervision in a safe environment where students are separated in cubicles, and toys, equipment and rooms are sanitized regularly. The nonprofit also upgraded its bandwidth for more reliable communications with teachers during the school day.

Fettig said the hybrid learning support program can support 50 students. Eighteen are currently enrolled.

The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County has implemented similar mitigation strategies to protect students, and it aims to provide similar services for all county students, including Zionsville students. (Zionsville students would be served at the club’s Whitestown facility.)

Boone County Council votes against some employee raises

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Council voted 3-2 at the council’s Sept. 8 meeting against a 1 percent pay raise for electPANDEMIC ed county officials in 2021.

The decision also included nonelected county employees, but some council members said they would consider other options to provide raises in November.

County councilors Don Lamb, John Riner

and Elise Nieshalla voted against the raises.

Councilors Jennifer Hostetter and Kevin Van Horn voted in favor. Nieshalla was the deciding vote. County councilors Marcia C. Wilhoite and Steve Jacob were not in attendance.

“We don’t know what’s coming,” Lamb said regarding the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. “We just don’t know what’s coming. When you think about it from a business standpoint, you keep your business healthy for the future. Businesses

go through this, and you make those hard decisions, and everybody is in it together.”

Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, Partner Paige Sansone told the council before the vote that it did not, according to current projections, have a balanced budget for 2021. A summary of select county fund estimates for 2021 prepared by Baker Tilly advisors showed all funds would end the year with a negative net cash flow, except for the county’s reassessment 2015 fund.

Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen said

a pay raise was needed to show support for “the county’s most valuable asset – it’s people.” Nielsen said members of his office are regularly poached by surrounding law-enforcement agencies, such as Whitestown’s and Zionsville’s police departments, that can offer higher salaries. He said that by not offering county employees raises to keep track with inflation, the county council was sending the wrong message.

news@currentzionsville.com The Town of Zionsville is seeking public input on a climate action plan, inquiring how it can create inENVIRONMENT centives for residents to use sustainable power.

By the end of this year, Zionsville will have a complete climate action plan to present to Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron and the Zionsville Town Council. The finished plan will provide the town with a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change.

Part of the action plan involves incorporating public input by engaging residents and community stakeholders. Zionsville residents, businesses and organizations are asked to complete a series of climate action plan surveys: • General strategies survey • Energy survey • Residential energy survey • Transportation survey • Solid waste and water usage survey Earlier this year, as one of 11 communities selected to be part of Indiana University’s second Resilience Cohort, the town conducted a comprehensive inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. The inventory was the first step in the climate action planning process.

The inventory found residential and commercial energy make up nearly 60 percent of the town’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Zionsville emitted 358,439 tons of Co2 equivalent in 2018. The inventory was followed by a brief climate and sustainability interest survey. Nearly a third of the 360 respondents noted they would like to see increased incentives and/or decreased barriers to solar power.

“Our community joins others to benchmark our current environmental condition and to set goals and policies to sustain a healthy community,” Styron stated. “Our Climate Action Plan is an important step to making a change locally. We are requesting the community’s involvement and input as we put the plan together and actions in place.”

County commissioner Wolfe seeks reelection

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe, a Republican, is seeking reelection to the District 3 seat he has occupied for 11 years. The general election is Nov. 3.

ELECTION A real estate appraiser, Wolfe has lived in Lebanon for 25 years. He grew up on a small farm 5 miles west of Lebanon and jokes that he has, except for his college years, never lived more than 5 miles from the county courthouse. He graduated from Purdue University in 1989 with a degree in agriculture economics.

Wolfe said he is focused on finding a way to get a sustainable funding source for county highways, bridges, roads and culverts.

“The difficulty the county council has had over many years is that with limited resources it makes it difficult to dedicate a future plan to funding for roads,” Wolfe said. “And with all the different requirements of county government, road funding sometimes is pushed back a little bit, not Wolfe by the fault I believe by anyone on the county council or past county councils, but it’s just the way

things happen.”

Wolfe wants to help other county officials develop a longterm plan to secure funding for such projects. He also is trying to begin similar talks to develop a long-term plan to secure funding for county-owned facilities.

“One of the things that is difficult about the commissioner job is how difficult it is to learn,” Wolfe said. “There’s a lot involved in it. But secondly, you have to develop the relationships you need to get things accomplished.”

Married for 20 years, Wolfe and his wife, Anita, have three children, and their fifth grandchild is expected later this year.

County officials craft a 10-year plan to fund infrastructure

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Council passed a bond ordinance Sept.

8, which is the first step of a proposed 10-year plan to fund county roads and is part of a long-term outlook officials said would contribute to substantial county savings.

“This is a very big first step in allowing us to develop that long-range funding system,” Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said at the meeting. “This puts us in a position to make a true five- to 10year plan that we have not really had up to this point. And if we can plan for this money to be available as we move forward, we can save a significant amount of money just in planning.

“What we’ve learned over the years is Wolfe that missed opportunities have cost us a tremendous amount of money.”

Representatives from Butler Fairman & Seufert Civil Engineers presented an asset-management evaluation to the Boone County Council during the meeting. It proposed ways the county could fund projects during the next 10 years to maintain its 739 miles of public roadways — 416 paved and 323 unpaved or gravel.

BF&S representatives said the best way for the county to maintain roads is to invest in the future of infrastructure, weighing costs at different points of an asset’s service life and considering a road’s PASER rating.

The Boone County Highway Dept. uses the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating System, or PASER rating system, to rate roads annually. The system rates roads on a 10-point scale, with 10 being the best rating and 1 being the poorest.

County officials use the scale to help determine when road maintenance is required.

BF&S representatives said every dollar spent repairing or rehabbing roads with a PASER rating of 5 or higher would rise to $6 to $10 if maintenance was delayed until a rating dipped to a PASER rating below 5. Roads with a rating less than 5 also are are more likely to contribute to vehicular accidents, said Brad Stump of BF&S. Collectively, the county has an average PASER rating of 6.39 for paved roads, of which 208 miles (50 percent) are rated 7 or higher and 70.5 miles (17 percent) are rated less than 5. The county also has 190 bridges (28 of which are load-limited) and 341 small structures. A 2020 small structures inspection identified 16 load-limited small structures and an additional number of small structures are near the

end of their service life, all of which are being monitored by highway department staff.

To establish a 10-year plan and provide a way of determining the most cost-efficient use of public funds, BF&S projected county road conditions during the next decade so that county officials can determine when assets will need maintenance.

However, the total miles of annual maintenance performed each year would still be limited by the county’s budget, so BF&S projected two budgets for the analysis: A minimal budget that would fund nine bridge replacements/ rehabs by 2025, plus an additional six from 2026 to 2030, and a preferred budget that would provide 14 bridge replacements/rehabs by 2025, plus an additional 12 to 14 from 2016 to 2030. The minimal budget addressed some but not all of the county’s projected needs. It would not maintain all county roads at a PASER rating of at least 5. The preferred budget was projected to maintain all roads at a minimum rating of 5, with an average PASER rating of 7.

The discussion happened during the backdrop of the county’s continued battle to fund projects and services during the COVID-19 pandemic. When considering 2021 projected disbursements, county financial advisors said the county would likely need to dip into cash reserves to fund

departments, offices and its general fund in the next year, adding that 2021 revenues would likely not be enough to cover expenditures.

But other long-term strategies to fund infrastructure projects exist, BF&S representatives said, including continued use of the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program, an increased cumulative bridge tax, a wheel tax or utilizing a repeating series of bonds.

The Boone County Council moved to capitalize on the latter — and current low interest rates — during the Sept.

8 meeting, unanimously voting to issue three bonds totaling $5.35 million to fund current and future infrastructure projects. The bonds will be staggered so the county can pay them off in 2026, 2027 and 2028, according to projections, at which time the county will have the choice to issue more bonds, potentially further utilizing the rolling series of bonds.

County attorney Bob Clutter said other counties surrounding Indianapolis have used the same approach for several years to finance infrastructure projects. The bonds are part of the preferred funding plan outlined in the analysis.

County officials said a state statute, which sets how much debt a county can incur, limits funding for infrastructure projects because the county’s population and economic growth has outpaced the rate of debt it can incur, leading commissioners to explore other funding options.

In the past, Wolfe said county commissioners approached the county council with an amount needed to fund the year’s road preservation budget. He said sometimes the council has, during his 11 years as a commissioner, granted the amount, and other times it hasn’t.

“One of the things that (Craig Parks, the county engineer, and the highway department) have done over the years is, they have taken every dime that was left, and they converted it into more money than what they started with,” Wolfe said. “So the community crossings grants, federal highway grants — those things have been able to be maximized over the last five years.”

Wolfe said the county is pursuing the bonds because the county council’s budget is limited, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There is no money to start those matching grants anymore, so now you’re at a point where you have to look at what’s the outside option for that matching money,” Wolfe said.

TAXPAYER IMPACT The three bonds, issued for five, six and seven years, are projected to cost taxpayers $0.0169 per $100 of assessed home value.

Owners of homes with a value of $100,000 can expect to pay an additional $5.53 in property taxes during the length of the bonds. One acre of agricultural land will equate to $0.22 in additional taxes after the seven years, and a $1 million business will pay $169.17, according to preliminary projections.

Clutter said Boone County has the lowest property tax rate in the state, ranking 92 out of 92 counties.

“It’s great for all the taxpayers,” Clutter said, “but it’s really hard on local government when you are trying to maintain roads and bridges and a sheriff’s office and a courthouse and pay everybody.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Strike force

Experts should inform on climate change

Commentary by Terry Anker In the East, the idea was championed

by Sun Tzu, the Chinese general born about 550 years before Christ and best remembered as the author of the classic book of military strategy, “The Art of War.” In the West, the idea was championed by Niccolò Machiavelli, the Italian Renaissance diplomat born about 1,500 years after Christ and best remembered as the author of the classic book of governing strategy, “The Prince.” American President George Washington often used a variation of the concept, as did Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong.

In essence, “the best defense is a good offense.” In politics, law, business, and even board games, a winning strategy is often based on the notion of drawing first blood. Before allowing a would-be opponent to consider her own moves, the aggressor makes hers. By striking first, one gains the advantage of framing the battleground, of reducing the position of the opponent to defend themselves, and by gaining the element of surprise. And once in power, one would be in constant pursuit of out-maneuvering those governed. Each anticipated move by adversaries, or one’s own citizens, should be anticipated and preemptively repressed. Suppressed by fear, most come to live in constant expectation of the unannounced hostility.

But even more, those antagonists have defended themselves from fighting the battle on their own homeland. Stated another way, their own failures and biases are routinely not exposed, expressed or assessed.

The defensively offensive end up reducing vulnerability while the defensively defensive are pushed back against the wall. In an all-out war, maybe all is fair. But what if someone doesn’t intend to go to war? What if the aggressor is just an aggressor and not defending?

Can we coexist with someone bent on a preemptive assault? Or do we have to strike them to survive ourselves?

Let the fantasy games begin!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Heads up, people. Football season is finally here, and this dance mom actually remembered to log in to a HUMOR Sunday night draft in my allguys-except-for-me fantasy league. Do I know what I’m doing yet? No. I think this is my fifth year and I still only recognize players who have retired (so long, Brady!). Do I understand when to start a WR over a RB? Not exactly, though I’ve been advised to have a total of five entered on my roster. Am I going to let any of this stop me from dominating a bunch of beer-guzzling man-children? Bells to the no! I recognize the incredible responsibility I hold to women everywhere. I promise, I will not fail.

Well, I might. My record has been subpar, at best. Usually, I lose a quarterback in the first month or realize too late that all my good players have the same bye week.

And I truly have minimal knowledge of the

strength and weaknesses of the 30-odd teams in the NFL (but at least I didn’t write NHL!).

I do have an awesome name, though — A Girl Has No Name (“Game of Thrones” fans, you’re welcome!), which is half the battle, along with the help of my stats-fanatic son, who dutifully scans my lineup every Thursday to make sure I didn’t start a defense that’s pitted against my premier offensive minions. I also hold some key advantages: I finished in the bottom half last year and I am female. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress!

So, here’s to a victorious football season.

For me, and women everywhere! Peace out.

I also hold some key advantages: I finished in the bottom half last year and I am female. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress!

Editor, This summer, I participated in Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s student advocacy training program. We were asked to write a letter to the editor concerning a climate-related article from any local publication. I wanted to choose Current Publishing, but there was no recent content to comment on.

The lack of environmental articles from Current is alarming. But far more discouraging is the realization that there are more letters to the editor from the community about climate change than there are articles. We leave it up to the community to create a dialogue around climate change. This is problematic because it should be our newspapers seeking to inform the community through experts and facts so that we may make correct conclusions about pertinent issues.

Community members who write to Current and deny climate change on the grounds of opinion are empowered through your publication. Several community members have diligently responded to this misinformation, which is promising. But this back-and-forth conversation over months of publications is ineffective at combating these false narratives.

Current should feel a sense of obligation to dismantle the controversy and misinformation through increased coverage on environmental topics.

Here are a few observations about life in my house during the last five months.

1. When my wife asks me what I want for dinner, I’m torn between saying: A. I don’t care B. I don’t know C. Whatever!

2. I love watching golf on TV. If Arnold Palmer is leading the tournament, I’m thinking it may be a repeat.

3. When Mary Ellen and I sit outside in the mornings and talk, after about an hour and a half she’ll say, “That’s interesting. I’ve never heard you say that before.” It’s then I realize that for more than 90 minutes, I hadn’t said anything new.

4. When I see couples walking around our neighborhood, sometimes I’ll see a man in shorts and a T-shirt and his wife is bundled up in a winter coat.

Why would a man marry a woman who is always that cold? OK, that sounds sexist. Why would a woman marry a man who is that hot? I’m only making this worse. Never mind.

5. I have no idea what day it is. My brother, Peter, has the best way to keep track. He looks at his weekly pill divider.

6. My wife has a crush on two TV stars. First, Idris Elba. This 6-foot-3, talented actor is a major hunk with a British accent. She also has a thing for Dr. Anthony Fauci. Standing 5-7, he’s a

brilliant immunologist. He is articulate and measured. What do I have in common with either of these men? I was once 5-7.

7. We use Zoom for our church services.

We have several older members in the congregation. When I commented that it felt like “Hollywood Squares,” I was glad a lot of people knew what I was talking about.

8. Health care workers are my No. 1 heroes. Anyone who delivers beer is a close second.

9. I’ve been exercising in the basement. I keep careful track of everything. It’s exactly 53 steps from the furnace room to the couch, another 27 around the treadmill. That takes me 32.6 seconds and it’s precisely .07 miles. Why am I running around my basement when I have a treadmill? Because the machine is covered in winter clothing.

10. My to-do list has nothing on it these days. Now, I have a not-to-do list (don’t go to the movies; don’t get a haircut; don’t go to the YMCA …). The list is long. I’m worried I’ll never get it all not done.

As you can see from that last one, I may be losing my mind.

DISPATCHES Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Also, there has been tremendous growth in games played by multiple players over the Internet, such as Fortnite, in which 100 players fight against one another for survival. And rather than buying individual games in stores such as GameStop, players are paying fees for monthly subscriptions to online services that allow them to stream or download games. Two subscription services, Apple Arcade and Google Stadia, were launched last year, but they’ve had lukewarm results, partly because of competition from free online video game providers such as Epic Games, the privately. Epic made more than a billion dollars in 2019 by selling optional virtual accessories such as character outfits. Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Their stocks can benefit no matter what platform gamers choose to play on or what business model prevails. Two attractive video game publishers now are: • Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits in-

clude World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in revenue since 2004. It partners with YouTube to stream live broadcasts of tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty.

Consider laser therapy for pain Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan When a physical condition or injury affects mobility or quality of life, there is one goal: A rapid return to everyday activities. At Westfield Foot and Ankle, RECOVERY we are committed to providing the latest medical developments and technological advances in medicine to give our patients the best care. One of the many ways we provide this quality care is by being the only podiatry practice in Hamilton County to offer FDAcleared MLS (Multiwaved Locked System) Laser Therapy to our patients.

Laser therapy has been used effectively for many years, but advances in technology have produced “the next generation of laser therapy” with the new MLS Therapy Laser.

This advanced laser technology works to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation in the body in a safe, painless and noninvasive way. There are no known side effects, and it is quick and convenient.

The MLS Laser uses specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. It treats the conditions by penetrating deep into the tissue to stimulate

regeneration at the cellular level without the potential for thermal injuries that other lasers can inflict. Treatment is usually 10 to 15 minutes. The typical course of treatment is six to 12 sessions, depending on the nature of the condition being treated.

With MLS Laser Therapy, we can offer relief without the use of painful injections, potentially habit-forming drugs or surgery to those suffering with both chronic and acute ailments such as: • Plantar fasciitis • Achilles injuries • Arthritis and bursitis • Tendonitis • Neuromas • Peripheral neuropathy • Post-surgical sites • Fractures To learn more about MLS Laser Therapy, visit our website at westfieldfoot.com or call our office at 317-896-6655.

Check pets for ticks — If you’re spending time outdoors as a way to get some fresh air while physical distancing, or if you have a pet who needs to go outside, it is important to know that ticks are most active in the summer months. While there are actions you can take to prevent ticks, such as avoiding grassy and wooded areas, using insect repellents, and treating your clothing with products containing permethrin, you should always do a body scan and check for ticks after spending time outdoors.

1. Grab a pair of sterilized tweezers.

2. Using the tweezers, grab and pinch

the tick’s head instead of its swollen abdomen.

3. Pull straight out; do not twist. Nail polish, petroleum jelly or heat will not help you remove the tick. If the tick breaks in half, remove the mouth parts with clean tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth parts easily, leave them alone and the skin will heal.

4. Wash the site where the tick was on your skin with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

5. Never crush a tick. To dispose, put the tick in alcohol or in a sealed bag or container.

CHS graduate directs groundbreaking short film

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sydne Horton was sold on film directing when she heard about the plot for “META.” “META” highlights the THEATER internalized battle of trans/ nonbinary people when battling dysphoria. Set during a 1980s-themed prom, the story follows Artie Talbot, a transboy on his senior prom night when he unexpectedly gets his period, which causes a monstrous transformation that challenges Artie’s perceptions of himself.

The script was written by Horton’s friend Savannah Ward.

“The moment Savannah pitched their idea for ‘META’ to me, I immediately knew this was a story that had to be shared,” said Horton, a 2013 Carmel High School graduate. “I can’t emphasize enough how important and influential it is for people to see a part of themself on screen, and with this film I hope that we are able to connect to those that are searching for their identity or struggling to accept who they are. This film is really about identity as a whole no matter who you choose to love or how you identify.”

“META,” which the writer uses as short for metamorphosis, had its world premiere Aug. 23 at the Outfest Los Angeles Film Festival. Other invites have followed, including the Cannes Short Film Festival, which started Sept. 13. It is slated to be included at the Out on Film Atlanta’s LGBTQ Film Festival, which starts Sept. 24, followed by the Out for Blood at Cambridge UK’s Queer Horror Film Festival in late October.

“I am incredibly humbled and grateful to say that the reaction to ‘META’ so far has been nothing short of welcoming, supportive and warm,” Horton said. “It’s a genre-bending piece that takes what would be a coming-of-age story and twists it by turning it into an introspective psychological thriller.”

Ward and Horton met while attending Columbia College Chicago and worked together on some projects.

“When graduating, we both found ourselves in Los Angeles searching for what

the next step was for myself as an aspiring director and Savannah, an aspiring writer,” Horton said. “Within our first year in L.A., we decided to team up and make our first project together. Initially, we planned to make a web series and we had been pitching our idea to various companies. In the end, we landed on making our short film ‘Flicker,’ funded by our friends and family which went on to have its world premiere with LA Shorts International Film Festival (in July 2019). With the success of our first short film, there was no question about teaming up for another.”

Horton said she hopes one day “META” can be a full-length film. It is just under 10 minutes now. The three lead actors were Jordan Gonzalez, Tess Speranza and Tameka Cruel.

“This was Jordan’s first film, and when I say you wouldn’t know that unless someone told you, I mean it,” Horton said. “He’s a proud advocate and member of the trans community and he was the perfect fit to bring our lead Artie to life. He brought a rawness and deeply empathetic performance to the story arc of our film as we

followed his character spiral into his own insecurities after unexpectedly getting his period just moments before making his way to the stage for his prom king nominees. Tess played Artie’s incredibly supportive best friend and crush, and she turned our character Lucy into this quirky and fearless high school girl that I honestly wish I could have been in high school.

“Lastly, Tameka, she played our witty and clearly worn-out principal that’s doing her best to keep up with the latest trends, but quite honestly she’s over it all.

Working with her, the cast and crew were consistently on the floor laughing.”

Horton is directing a feature-length documentary that provides a hands-on look into a family separated and weighed down by the societal stigmas of mental illness.

She also is set to direct a music video and a short horror film in the coming months.

Aside from directing, Horton is working with the props team on FX’s “American Crime Story Impeachment,” which explores President Bill Clinton’s impeachment and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Husband/wife team take on challenge of Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brandi Davis is still trying to grasp the essence of her character.

Davis plays the title role THEATER in the production of Henrik Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” at Westfield Playhouse Sept. 24 to Oct. 4.

“Everything about the role is challenging,” said Davis, an Elwood resident. “Hedda is a very complex character, so trying to peel away all the layers and figure out who Hedda is, is extremely difficult. We’re about three weeks into rehearsal and I’ve played the character different every single night and still haven’t settled on anything.”

Gabler is the daughter of an aristocrat who married an aspiring professor even though she doesn’t love him. The play is directed by Davis’ husband, Adam Davis, who is directing at Westfield Playhouse for the first time.

“This has been a show I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Adam Davis said. “It came across my plate 15 years ago to read this. I was just hooked immediately by the characters and how real they are. Ibsen doesn’t write characters. He writes people into situations. Every time I read it, and I’ve probably read it 100 times in the last 15 years, I find something new or a connection between the characters. The cast is super talented. I was really fortunate with who I was able to cast in the show.”

Westfield resident Alex Dantin plays George Tesman, who is Hedda’s husband.

“It’s a very challenging role because it’s a translated play from (Danish),” Dantin said.

“It’s from the late 1880s, so it has a very different tone to it, which makes it difficult to learn all the lines correctly and the way they are meant to be said. I’ve been working on trying to get the lines down and the pattern down.”

Dantin, 43, returned to acting after a 20year absence when he performed in “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” at Westfield Playhouse in September 2019.

“I missed (acting),” Dantin said. “I was looking for something to do during the colder months. I saw Westfield had a thriving community for action and decided to jump back in.”

Steven Marsh, a Carmel resident who has dual roles of producer and cast member (he plays Judge Brack), said the character study and interaction are fascinating.

“It seems like you think you know where the show is going and then it swerves and becomes this character piece where people start ping-ponging off each other,” Marsh said. “I love it when you are surprised by something.”

Noblesville High School senior Rosie Allenson is the assistant director.

“This is my assistant directorial debut,” Allenson said. “It is a bit daunting to do it with an adult play, but it makes it that much more exciting. I’ve worked with a couple of these actors before and they are all stunning on stage.”

Scarlet Lane Gastropub

Commentary by Anna Skinner

Welcome, Ashley Seidner, DO Riverview Health Physicians OB/GYN is pleased to welcome Ashley Seidner, DO to the team.

Dr. Seidner enjoys educating, empowering and caring for women while building long-lasting relationships with her patients. Dr. Seidner believes it’s her privilege to advocate for women and to provide high-quality care for them through all stages of their lives—from adolescence to maternity, menopause and beyond.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy exploring the great outdoors with my husband, daughter and our dogs.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Seidner, call 317.770.6085 or visit riverview.org.

Address: 1702 Bellefontaine St., Indianapolis What to get: Turkish Wet Burger Price: $14 Anna’s take: Scarlet Lane Gastropub is a cute little spot in downtown Indianapolis.

It has exposed brick walls and a limited but delicious menu. I started with beer-steamed mussels ($10), a heaping bowl of beersteamed mussels with herbs and crostini.

The mussels are steamed in Scarlet Lane’s own beer. For my main dish, I tried the Turkish Wet Burger, which is a beef and lamb patty with feta. The burger is smothered in a tomato sauce and served with a side

salad. Scarlet Lane gave me the impression of high-class food, but the environment isn’t stuffy like some fancy restaurants in the area. I relaxed with a pint of Scarlet Lane Myopic Hazy IPA and enjoyed a delicious meal at the bar.

Behind bars: Bali Bee’s Knees Get it at Alcomy, a mobile mixology experience Ingredients: 2 oz. Roku Gin, .5 oz. pear liqueur, 1 oz. homemade lemongrass honey ginger syrup, .75 oz. lemon juice, 1 egg white or aquafaba for vegans, dehydrated lemon, candied ginger Directions: Add egg white and all ingredients to a mixing tin and dry shake (without ice) to properly emulsify all ingredients. Add ice, wet shake and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with dehydrated lemon and candied ginger.

Recipe for homemade honey ginger lemongrass syrup: 1 cup pure cane sugar, 1 cup clover honey, 4 cups water, 1 small stalk peeled lemongrass, 1/4 cup sliced thin or diced ginger. Heat sugar, honey and water to liquify. Add lemongrass and ginger, simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain into bottle or jar; will last two to three weeks refrigerated.

A history of Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair

Variety is unhealthy — “Eat a variety of foods.” Since the early 20th century, it’s been bedrock advice. The rationale: The more different kinds of foods you eat, the more likely you are to get all the nutrients you need. Unfortunately, people who eat more “varied” diets tend to consume more white flour, sugar-sweetened soda, processed meats and salty snacks.

Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most popular destinations for visitors to Sydney, Australia, is named for the wife of a British army offiTRAVEL cer who started the country on the path to what it is today.

In 1788, with the American colonies no longer available as dumping grounds for its convicts, England established a penal colony known as New South Wales on what is now eastern Australia and New Zealand.

The colony was initially governed by military officers, one of whom was William Bligh, the captain of the HMS Bounty at the time of the mutiny. After Bligh was deposed as governor of New South Wales in 1808, he was replaced by Col. Lachlan Macquarie, who was charged with bringing order to the colony, which by then included freed prisoners.

By the time Macquarie returned to England in 1822, he had begun the transformation of New South Wales from a prison colony to a free settlement that included almost 40,000 nonindigenous people.

Macquarie brought with him to New South Wales Elizabeth, a cousin he married after his first wife died. At least according

to a local legend, Mrs. Macquarie enjoyed spending time on the tip of a peninsula on the south side of the harbor, where she sat on a sandstone outcropping to watch the ships sailing to and from England. In 1813, to facilitate her visits, then-Major Gen. Macquarie built a 3-mile-long road from the Government House to what is now known as Mrs. Macquarie’s Point. Convicts carved the sandstone into the shape of a bench. A later inscription on the bench tells the story of the road. Today, the area around Mrs.
