After Indiana moved to Stage 5 of the state’s Back on Track reopening plan, Zionsville announced that ZionsPANDEMIC ville Town Hall will reopen to the public.

When the pandemic started, town officials adopted safety procedures within Town Hall. Mandatory health screening, a mandatory mask requirement, physical partitions in various locations, limiting meeting room usage, protocols to ensure employees practice social distancing and sanitizing stations in high-touch areas will remain in place.

Zionsville Town Hall was scheduled to reopen to the public Oct. 5 with safety guidelines: • Upon entry, visitors must do a health screening that includes a temperature check.

• Everyone entering the building will be required to wear a face covering with the exception of children under 2 and those with medical conditions.

• Everyone will be required to maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet, and

Town Hall will have social distancing indicators throughout the building.

• Hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the building.

• To maintain social distancing, there will be a limited number of people allowed inside departments and departmental offices at one time. It is highly recommended that visitors call or email to make an appointment in advance.

• Visitors are still encouraged to complete forms and payments online or via the parking lot drop box. Many town services can be accessed online, by phone or by email, including permitting, scheduling inspections and paying bills. For more, departments can be reached by phone Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Only one meeting room will be available for public meetings: the Council Chambers room. The Council Chambers room will be available on a limited basis and only during regular business hours. For more, contact Carol Johnson at cjohnson@zionsville. in-gov.

ZIONSVILLE CULTURAL DISTRICT CELEBRATES DAHLIA BLOOMS AFTER FREE GIVEAWAY

On Sept. 19, The Zionsville Dalia Initiative displayed and compared dahlia blooms on Main Street.

People who had picked up free dahlia tubers from the Zionsville Cultural District in early summer were asked to bring back the fruits of their labor that day.

Dozens of dahlia growers attended with flowers. A grant from the Village Garden Club to the ZCD made the tuber giveaway possible. ZCD board members Donna Monday, left, and Mamata Patel admire all the varieties of dahlias grown during the summer. (Submitted photo)

Foundation awards matching grants to nonprofits news@currentinzionsville.com The Community Foundation of Boone County has announced it will give matching grants to 18 county nonPANDEMIC profits to help offset unexpected expenses incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The foundation surveyed nonprofit organizations serving Boone County, of which 92 percent reported lost revenue due to the pandemic, and 65 percent now have new, permanent costs due to the pandemic, such as cleaning supplies and technology costs, according to the foundation. However, with revenue down and costs up, 60 percent of the nonprofits reported an increase in demand for services, including mental health services, child abuses cases, food programs and outdoor activities.

When considering its remaining grant funds for 2020, the CFBC board of directors and staff launched a communitywide grant program to meet the increased needs in Boone County. The initiative consists of two components: $150,000 in unrestricted, immediate grants to three Boone County school corporations, and a community matching grant program for Boone County nonprofits. The goal of the program is to support several Boone County nonprofits that have experienced lost revenue and increased expenses due to the pandemic.

The 18 nonprofits participating in the matching grant are: • Black Box Theatre Co., Inc. • Boone County Cancer Society • Boone County Mentoring Partnership • Boys & Girls Club of Boone County • Brick Street Poetry, Inc. • Center Stage Community Theatre • House of Grace • Humane Society for Boone County • Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library Foundation • ICAN • Maplelawn Farmstead • Mental Health America in Boone County • Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding, Inc. • Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center • The Caring Center • Witham Family YMCA • Zionsville Center for Art, History and Genealogy, Inc.

Town launches notification system news@currentinzionsville.com To provide more efficient and effective emergency notification to residents and businesses, Zionsville has PANDEMIC partnered with Rave Mobile Safety for a new notification platform available to all residents.

The free service allows individuals to sign up for alerts to stay informed on severe weather, traffic and other emergencies. In addition, users also can receive community notifications.

The system replaces the town’s former text and email alert system. Residents can sign up for free to receive alerts via text message, email and/or voice message.

“We know from the current (COVID-19) pandemic that reaching our residents in real time is more important than ever,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated. “When emergencies affect the town, our team must be able to reach residents instantly by email, text or voice with information and updates.”

When individuals sign up for the alerts, information is automatically stored on the Smart911 secure online system, a free service that allows individuals to create a safety profile for their household that can include any information they may want dispatch and first responders to have in the event of an emergency, such as people living in the household, pets in the household, medical conditions and allergies, medications and medical equipment, property layout, vehicle descriptions and emergency contacts.

When an individual makes an emergency call, their safety profile is automatically displayed to dispatch, allowing them to send response teams to the right location with the right information.

Smart911 is a national service, meaning a person’s profile travels with them and is visible to any participating 911 center nationwide.

“The benefits of sharing this type of information during an emergency are immeasurable,” Zionsville Police Dept. Chief Michael Spears stated.

To sign up, visit smart911.com/smart911/ registration/registrationLanding.action?cdnExternalPath= or text ZionsvilleAlerts to 78015 to sign up to receive all alerts. Users also can download the Smart911 app.

Now is the time for surgery to help relieve joint pain Total knee replacement puts former nurse back on her feet

R

ight now, there are many questions surrounding elective surgeries. Is it safe? When can I schedule? Are the risks greater than the reality of continuing to live in pain with less mobility? Those are questions patients should discuss with their doctors.

And now is the time to talk with a doctor and schedule the surgery needed to address joint pain.

Find out what one patient is thinking about as she looks back on her orthopedic surgery and the positive impact on her life.

Meet Brenda ...

Brenda spent her life caring for others as a nurse, and hoped to spend her retirement being an active grandmother and senior. Her knees had different plans for her.

“I was having trouble even walking through the grocery store,” Brenda said. “I like to

bike but, starting about six months ago, the chronic pain had just become unbearable.”

When Brenda came to an Ascension hospital for care, she was not sure what to expect.

“Being a retired nurse who had worked at several hospitals, I know things are not always perfect,” she said.

“But the care at the Ascension hospital sure seemed perfect to me — because they were working together.

“The caring of all the staff was really phenomenal.”

Brenda made the choice to solve her health issues with a total knee replacement surgery, and now she looks forward to living a more active life.

“I got serious about finding care — and the rest, as they say, is history.”

Hip and knee arthritis are common sources of pain and disability, and they worsen over time.

“Early and moderate arthritis is usually well

managed with over-thecounter medicines, light exercise and physical therapy,” said David Graybill, MD, orthopedic surgeon.

“When these measures are not adequate and quality of life is significantly affected, total joint replacement can help many patients achieve improved function with less pain. A discussion between a patient and their doctor can help patients determine their options.”

Brenda took the first step to feeling better.

Other patients are doing the same.

Ascension St. Vincent is fully prepared to provide the back and joint care patients need. The care team’s ongoing commitment is to help keep patients safe while in their care, just as they have always done.

Ascension St. Vincent is

currently scheduling surgery, including joint replacement and spine surgeries. They have strict precautions in place in hospitals, ERs, clinics, and facilities for the safety of patients in their care: • Virtual waiting rooms to keep loved ones connected and updated during surgery.

• Providing medical-grade masks to all who enter hospitals and ERs. • Screening patients, visitors and staff.

• Rigorously and continuously cleaning and disinfecting all areas.

• Designating separate care areas for patients with symptoms of COVID-19.

• Staggering appointments and maintaining proper social distancing in waiting rooms.

• Continuing to wear

appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Ascension St. Vincent also continues to monitor guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and adjust its safety practices accordingly.

Whatever is holding people back from enjoying their lives and passions to the fullest, scheduling now to get the right joint care can help.

Together, patients and their doctors can create a personalized care plan to get on the path to less pain. The first step is to schedule an appointment and learn how to move care forward. Ask if a virtual visit is an option.

Community conversations

Zionsville officials discusse improving police, resident relations

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Members of the Zionsville Police Dept. held a community gathering Sept. 30 and discussed issues about race relations and policing tactics that have become topics of national debate.

Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron told the aproximately 50 residents at the meeting that the community conversation was not meant to have an agenda or a script. She hoped those in attendance at Mulberry Fields could tell their stories without judgment or fear.

“I think that’s where healing starts in communities,” Styron said. “And I’m not suggesting that we’re broken by saying that. I’m not suggesting everything you’re seeing on CNN is happening in downtown Zionsville. But racism has been on this planet probably as long as there have been humans. And there is no time like today or yesterday or tomorrow to start seeing where we can evolve.”

After ZPD Chief Michael Spears was appointed to his position earlier this year — and after national protests were spawned in response to the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25 — ZPD officials announced several measures to provide more civilian oversight and accountability within the police department.

The department established a Use of Force Board to review all instances when an officer uses force in Zionsville. The board will conduct an investigation and submit findings to Spears, along with recommendations for policy changes, training and other areas.

Some residents expressed concern that only one person, Spears, would ultimately have the ability to decide the outcome of such reviews and questioned the objectivity of such a system. Spears and other town officials expressed an interest in investigating best practices that could provide alternative ways of handling outcomes of

the review process.

Although the department has reported no uses of force in 2020, Spears said the board should still be created, arguing that it is imperative the department does everything it can to be beyond reproach in serving Zionsville residents.

Aaron Williams, a Black Zionsville resident who atJohnson tended the gathering, said it’s only a matter of time before a controversial police action happens in the town.

“It’s not a matter of if something happens in Zionsville, it’s when,” Williams said. “And how we address it and how we prepare for it will make a significant difference.”

Williams said the ZPD must seriously consider hiring people of color. The department employees four women and no people of color, according to Spears, but he said he plans to change that as the department searches to fill multiple positions. Nearly 91 percent of Zionsville residents are white, according to the United States Census Bureau’s latest data.

ZPD Det. Elizabeth Frost, one of the four women, has been tapped to lead the departments’ internal affairs investigations.

“You can talk all day until cows fly over the moon about diversity,” Williams said.

“If you don’t have the personnel to represent those communities, you will never understand.”

The ZPD recently announced the five members of its Use of Force Board. It is composed of three members of the ZPD — Capt. Marius Klykken, Lt. Drake Sterling and Det. Joshua Samuelson — and two ci-

vilian members. The civilians are Kenneth Johnson, who was appointed by Styron, and Monisha Mitchell, who was appointed by the Board of Police Commissioners.

Klykken, Sterling and Samuelson have each served the ZPD for 10 years.

Johnson is the North America precision agriculture market development Mitchell lead for FMC Corp.

Johnson, prior to his roles in the agriculture sector, served six years in the U.S. Army, which included time as an admissions officer at his alma mater, West Point, and a 15-month deployment to Afghanistan, where he earned a Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Army Commendation Medal with Valor. He resides in Zionsville with his wife Erin and two daughters.

Mitchell is a licensed therapist with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a graduate degree in public management. She attends Traders Point Christian Church, volunteers at Wheeler Mission in Indianapolis and serves on the board of the Zionsville Moms Group. She lives in Zionsville with her 5-year-old son, not far from her adult children and granddaughter. Johnson and Mitchell, the civilian voices of the board, are people of color.

In addition to the Use of Force Board, whenever a vehicle is stopped in Zionsville, Spears has directed officers to record the stop, regardless of the outcome. The stops are documented and stored through dispatch’s E-ticket system, storing the date and time of the stop, the reason for the stop and the gender and race of the vehi-

17

cle’s occupant, ZPD officials said.

All ZPD officers are outfitted with body cameras that must be manually activated, and each vehicle has a camera that automatically activates when the vehicle’s lights are turned on. Data is uploaded automatically to a cloud-based storage system.

Spears said it would be a violation of the department’s policy if an officer failed to turn on their camera when interacting with a civilian; however, some residents voiced concern that many contentious interactions between people of color and police fail to be recorded because an officer failed to activate their body camera. They said it could easily happen in Zionsville.

Members of the ZPD also were scheduled to receive implicit bias training Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. All ZPD members have already completed crisis intervention training, Spears said.

The department also plans to start a behavioral health unit, allowing a trained medical professional to assist the department when needed on calls involving residents under mental duress.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE David Gay and his wife, Kelley, attended the Sept. 30 community gathering.

David, a Black man, said that when the couple first moved to Zionsville nine years ago, he was stopped by local law enforcement three times within two weeks but was given no citations. On one occasion, David said an officer continued to trail him to his son’s football practice. Another simply checked his registration and let him go, David said.

Kelley, a white woman, said officers, conversely, waved to her when she saw them during the same two-week period.

The couple said their differing experiences highlighted some of the inequities that still persist, even if a situation stops short of use of force.

“I put a Zionsville license plate on my car three weeks after I moved here because I wanted people to know I actually live here,” David said.

Spears said he apologized for the way the couple was treated and that the department would not accept the same behavior moving forward.

ESSAY

LETTER

Unmanaged emotion

Anker’s impact may be missed

Commentary by Terry Anker Righteous indignation. The indignation of the righteous. Either order, it is a way to justify anger and still consider one’s self on the right side of morality. We have seen it throughout history. “This group is so terrible that we not only should do something to smite them — we are compelled by moral imperative to do it.” Even as our hands are bloodied, we can feel good about ourselves. Sure, the folks we hurt are more complex and multivariate than we might hope. But if we can only manage to focus our attentions on the one thing about them that we don’t like, it gives us the leverage needed to enjoy the carnage.

Still, do we have a responsibility to inflict the occasional beat down? Should we take pride in the people killed in war, police action, protest? Are there cases of such unredeemed evil that we are only right to drag offenders into the streets and extinguish their lives? Judas? Genghis Kahn? Pol Pot? Hitler? Saddam Hussein? Would they qualify for our virtuous retribution? How far could we go?

Then we imagine those of far more common, but some might imagine no less malevolent, intention. Pedophiles?

Cannibals? Rapists? What must we do there? Should a mob be formed and our justice garnered? Some might include communists, police, politicians and members of opposing sports teams — even friendly local columnists and reporters. Threats of death too often are realized — justified with an outsized sense of the perpetrator’s duty to mete out vigilante justice. Laws can help to referee but violence is often the ultimate arbiter.

Is it simply part of the human genome? Or is it something that each distinct culture of us has cultivated to justify our own unmanaged emotion?

Editor, I just finished (essayist Terry Anker’s) “Strike Force” article and found it very interesting.

He alluded to an impactful opinion, but if I understood him correctly, the impact may well be missed by the intended audience.

Going toe-to-toe with 2020 Commentary by Danielle Wilson Enough. Enough, I say! After another truly awful few weeks, I am done with this stupid year; 2020, you will not HUMOR take October, the most magical month of them all, from me without a fight. And I’m scrappy, so don’t underestimate me.

To that end, I have already begun planning an epic Halloween display. I typically set up six to seven ghoulish vignettes in the front yard, showcased by thousands of orange twinkle lights and a dozen or so floods, in an attempt to relive my childhood and for an excuse to wear a Foxy Cleopatra wig. Everything from warty witches brewing potions, Carol Ann from “Poltergeist” enjoying an undead tea party, a baseball-capped skeleton lawn-mowing over the ex-boyfriend … I’m very clever. I’m also certain I’m breaking a whole host of neighborhood association and electrical safety rules, but I don’t care. Especially not amidst this craziness.

I have already put together my newest acquisition, a 6-foot-3 animatronic Grim Reaper who sucks the fog machine-induced life force out of a defenseless but creepy little girl while throatily muttering, “You’re soul is miiine.” It’s truly terrifying. Far more terrifying than the nearly 7-foot Pennywise we bought in 2019, even though I am 100 percent anti-clown (those half-off sales get me every time, nightmares be damned!).

Even my husband Doo has promised to help. Usually, he’s just good for finding which breaker I’ve popped or resetting the inevitable blown fuse, but I think he senses how much I need this, not only for the fun but for the normalcy.

So, say goodbye, 2020, you miserable SOB. October and I are taking you down.

Peace out.

A hole in this Hoosier’s story Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’m a born-and-bred (mostly Jewish rye) New Yorker, but I’ve lived for 40 years in Indianapolis. I’ve eaten biscuits HUMOR and gravy for breakfast, lunch and dinner (not all on the same day). I’ve had a pork tenderloin that is four times bigger than the bun, and I even wear shorts when it’s freezing outside. So, I consider myself a Hoosier, but then the other day I was really tested when my wife confronted me with this: “Dick, the neighborhood is having a big get-together, a chance to meet new people. Masks and social distancing will be required.”

“OK, I’m in.”

“It’s a cornhole contest.”

“OK, I’m out.”

Before playing, I watched some championship matches on YouTube. I felt sorry for the announcers who didn’t have many things to analyze. There were a lot of oohs and aahs. And two wows. They said, “it’s a game of inches” about a dozen times.

I wasn’t very good at cornhole that night. But I got to meet a lot of new people:

Jill, Kay, Ellen, Steve, another Steve, Cynthia and Bob. Everyone had on a mask, so I don’t have a clue how I’ll recognize them next time Mary Ellen and I walk around the neighborhood. Everyone had a name tag on that night, but it’s awkward to ask people to wear their ID when they walk out their front door for the next year.

My favorite was from a woman who claims her great grandfather in l899 found some rotten corn and a plank with a hole in it.

Her grandfather’s name, she says, was Timothy Cornhole.

Hmm, very convenient.

Mary Ellen is concerned about the virus, so we were constantly rubbing our hands with sanitizer gel, which is why several of my shots landed not in the hole but in the lake. And despite all the food people had brought, I wasn’t allowed to eat anything because, to quote my wife, “You’ve touched every person’s equipment in the neighborhood.”

I looked up the history of cornhole and there were more than a dozen theories about when the game began and how it got its name. My favorite was from a woman who claims her great grandfather in l899 found some rotten corn and a plank with a hole in it. Her grandfather’s name, she says, was Timothy Cornhole. Hmm, very convenient. If his last name had been Backgammon, well, how confusing would that have been?

The day after that neighborhood gathering, I saw a neighbor and I asked him if he had played the previous night, because I didn’t recognize his legs. Peter, who is an engineer, said he would have done better had he taken into account the lubricity of the board. When I got home, I looked up the term “lubricious,” by mistake. If you Google that word, you’ll agree it would have made the game a lot more exciting.

Witham sees less COVID-19 hospitalizations

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Witham Hospital Services reported it did not have more than two COVID-19 hospitalizations in August and September at PANDEMIC any one time, a continued trend in declining COVID-19 hospital admissions in Boone County.

Witham Chief Medical Officer Dr. Thomas Cartwright said the hospital had no COVID-19 patients for more than half of September, and never had more than one patient at a time.

“It has been months since we’ve had anyone on a ventilator,” Cartwright said.

“People are not being hospitalized with any regularity in this county.”

In March, when the World Health Organization first declared the new coronavirus a pandemic, Witham created a COVID-19-specific unit by allotting half of its ICU beds to a sequestered area. Cartwright said there were times when five or six of the eight ICU beds in the COVID-19 unit were filled.

Although the county continues to report more positive COVID-19 cases each week, the county hasn’t reported a death since late July. Fifty-one county residents have died of COVID-19. From Sept. 19-25, the Boone County Health Dept. reported 29 additional COVID-19 cases. The week prior, the department reported 38 additional cases. In total, 1,049 cases have been reported in the county, according to the BCHD. “August and September have just trickled off to almost nothing,” Cartwright said of county COVID-19 hospitalizations.

Hospital stays have been cut shorter thanks in part to advances in therapeutics, Cartwright said. The hospital uses remdesivir and dexamethasone to combat the effects of the disease.

Cartwright said, however, that the hospital has not needed to use either drug lately because of the low number of hospitalizations. He said most of the hospitalized patients in the last two months have not needed to be admitted to the ICU, and they have not reported respiratory concerns.

Members can choose from private lessons or dozens of group classes — typically consisting of 12 people — which utilize a variety of equipment.

Ralph said the studio is outfitted with an air purification system and has safety measures in place, including individual equipment spaced 6 feet apart.

Indianapolis Children’s Choir uses music platform to rehearse virtually

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Indianapolis Children’s Choir quickly got ahead of the curve when the coronavirus pandemic struck in MUSIC mid-March.

ICC Artistic Director Joshua Pedde said one of the biggest questions a lot of organizations are wrestling with is, how will they deal with the new normal?

“At the ICC, we’re creating our own new normal,” Pedde said Pedde, a Carmel resident, said the ICC started off using Zoom when the coronavirus pandemic hit. The ICC then switched to Cisco Webex.

“We worked with (Webex) over the summer and they developed a mode called Music Mode, which allows the sound to be presented to whoever is on the other side of the screen,” Pedde said. “It’s mostly in time. There is very little lag. For all of our virtual things, we’ve been using this, and we’ve had people join our rehearsals with that.”

The ICC offers online and in-person options for choir members. Pedde said the singers have learned they have to keep ahead of what they are seeing visually with the Music Mode. A strong Wi-Fi signal helps.

“It’s almost exactly in time. Sometimes it’s off just a slight millisecond or two,” Pedde said. “It’s almost seamless. Of all the platforms we’ve seen, this is the best I’ve seen. We did both our summer camp and our teacher symposium using Webex.

It was a great success. We had students from all across the country and teachers from all across the world participate. All of them agreed it was the best online experience they have had.

“We put together a virtual choir where each student recorded themselves and sent it in. We put together the choir and it was aired on WNDY.” Pedde said every week students can either tune in or attend in-person sessions, which are socially distanced. There

are sites in Carmel, Fishers and Zionsville.

There also are rehearsals sites in Avon and Greenwood and on the Butler University campus in Indianapolis.

“The students wear masks,” Pedde said.

“The room is sanitized and clean. We are only in the room a limited amount of time.

The recommended time is 30 minutes.

Then we take them to an outside area, and we finish up the rehearsal outside. We have purchased air purification (systems) that will actually turn over a room in about five minutes.”

Pedde said the in-person students in Carmel number between 12 to 15 and 10 in Fishers. Pedde said when the weather gets cold, the choirs will take a singing break and they can do other activities in the room while the air purification system runs.

Pedde said the ICC is renting space and prerecording the concerts. He said the concerts will be streamed to singers’ families because most concert halls aren’t open, and if they are, capacity is limited.

Pedde has been working with a production company for a fall concert, which will be released online at 7 p.m. Oct. 16. He said

a stream can be purchased and is available for a week to watch.

“We’re trying to give people the in-person feeling of going to a concert,” Pedde said. “We wrote a COVID handbook for singers that children’s choirs around the country are using. Because of our online platform, we have singers who are tuning in from all across the country. We even have a couple that are down in Mexico.”

Pedde said he is working with Webex to see how virtual singers can be involved in the recorded concert.

“They’ll be singing with us as well from their living room,” he said.

Pedde said the plan is to go forward in the same manner until venues can open safely.

“It offers us a unique opportunity to offer things in a different way and present our form of art to someone who might not ordinarily look at us because it is more convenient,” he said. “They don’t have to get in a car and drive somewhere to hear this. They can go online and listen to it or see it on a TV station. Hopefully, it will open new doors.”

‘Welcome to Fairyville’ to begin Oct. 7 editorial@youarecurrent.com Nickel Plate Arts’ “Welcome to Fairyville” event — originally scheduled for April — is back for the eighth year, from Oct. 7-10. Residents are invited to build dozens of fairy houses on the Fairy Trail along the White River River Walk. Many downtown merchants will feature fairy doors outside their buildings to bring some magic inside. Magical socially distant-friendly events have been planned throughout the downtown Noblesville area.

Not only can participants search for fairy houses and fairy doors along the trail, but several locations in Noblesville will host fairy-themed activities. Fairy friends can paint pottery at Kiln Creations or reserve a time to create crafts or pick up a craft kit at Caravan Classes.

“We are so excited that so many groups and individuals in Noblesville were excited about getting into the fairy spirit,” McGill stated.

These activities made possible in part with support from the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The original plan was to present “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

“But when COVID came, we felt PLAY that kind of intense show might not draw an audience,” Carmel resident John Clair said. “But our real concern was for the actors to have them rehearse face-to-face with all the intensity of that show. We couldn’t safely do that.

We decided a comedy is what the public needed.”

Carmel Theatre Co. is presenting Bard Fest’s production of Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite” as a live radio show at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel. Clair, who runs Carmel Theatre Co. with his wife, June, is serving as a producer. The play was scheduled to be held Oct. 2-4 and will conclude Oct. 9-10.

“We felt if we did it as a radio show, the actors would not have to play face-to-face,” Clair said. “They deliver their lines out in front of the stage because they stand behind a radio microphone. There is limited contact between the actors during the rehearsal process.”

From left, Tony Armstrong, Afton Shepard, Matt Walls, Tony Johnson and Nan Macy appear in “Plaza Suite” as a radio show. (Submitted photo)

Bard Fest, an Indianapolis theater company dedicated to presenting Shakespeare plays, is deviating from its usual fare. “We are trying to bring Bard Fest to Carmel,” Clair said. “The idea is to bring the Indianapolis Fringe Theatre audience up to Carmel to expand our reach.”

The show is directed by Indianapolis radio personality Matt Socey. Nan Macy, Tony Armstrong, Afton Shepard and Matt Walls play the leads, and Tony Johnson provides sound effects.

Roasted breast of chicken is among the menu items at Vivante French Eatery. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Vivante French Eatery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Hotel Carmichael, 1 Carmichael Square, Carmel What to get: Roasted breast of chicken Price: $24 Anna’s take: Vivante is a beautiful and classy restaurant nestled on the bottom floor of Carmel’s new Hotel Carmichael. It offers French cuisine for lunch and dinner.

I started with Brussels sprouts ($12), a hefty portion of halved Brussels sprouts with crispy pork belly, Grand Marnier Honey Redux and Thai chili-infused beurre blanc.

Brussels sprouts are in right now, and restaurants have been trying to figure out ways to make them more appealing than what many of us grew up with. Vivante’s take is sweet with a slight kick from the Thai chilis, and it is delicious. I also tried the roasted beet salad ($12), a colorful rainbow of roasted red and golden beets, arugula, candied walnuts, goat cheese and a truffle vinaigrette. It was light and refreshing. For the main event, I had the roasted breast of chicken, a generous portion of chicken with a Grand Marnier glaze, pommes croquettes (for those of you who don’t speak French, these are essentially mashed potatoes covered in bread crumbs), seasonal vegetables and an herb jus.

Suggested pairings: The Feeling Good ($13), a gin cocktail

Behind bars: The Feeling Good Get it at Vivante, Carmel Ingredients: • 2 oz. Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin • 1 oz. Spiced Black Tea Syrup • .75 oz. lemon juice Directions: Shake and strain the ingredients into a coupe glass and garnish with a dehydrated lemon wheel.

Charlottenburg Palace: Honoring a queen Commentary by Don Knebel Charlottenburg Palace, the largest and most elegant palace in Berlin, honors a royal wife known for her fierce TRAVEL independence.

Sophie Charlotte was born to a German prince and his wife in 1668.

Her mother’s plan that she marry either widowed King Louis XIV of France or his son, the Dauphin, failed. In 1684, just shy of her 16th birthday, she married Prince Frederick of the German House of Hohenzollern, whose 21-year-old wife had died the year before. Sophie Charlotte became queen of Prussia when Frederick became the first king of Prussia in 1701. Frederick adored his wife, reportedly never seeking the affections of his official mistress, a position he borrowed from Louis XIV. Sophie Charlotte was apparently not quite so enamored. She commissioned a Baroque palace for herself outside the city limits of Berlin, where she lived with her own court. Speaking four languages fluently, the queen frequently invited intellectuals and artists to her pal-
