Officials warn of pandemic complacency

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Because of a rise of COVID-19 cases in Indiana, state health officials caution Hoosiers about the dangers of PANDEMIC not following mitigation efforts when with family and friends, especially with the arrival of cooler weather and people spending more time indoors.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said isolated gatherings have led to outbreaks of COVID-19. He said Hoosiers must remain vigilant in slowing the spread, even when with friends Holcomb and family.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Kristina Box said health officials have traced outbreaks to events, such as weddings, funerals and parties, and are concerned similar indoor gatherings could increase the spread during the fall and winter months.

Within the last week, the state’s seven-day percent positivity rate has increased. As of Sept. 30, the rate was 5 percent. As of Sept. 22, it was 3.9 percent.

Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 6, Indiana also reported the most positive COVID-19 cases in one week since the start of the pandemic, according to data compiled by state officials at coronavirus.in.gov, though testing also

has increased to record highs.

Box said health officials are monitoring ICU bed capacities “very closely.”

As of Oct. 6, 33.4 percent of ICU beds in the state were still available, with 14.9 percent being used by COVID-19 patients and 51.7 percent by other patients.

“We are seeing ICU bed capacity shrink in some areas of the state,” Box said during an Oct. 7 virtual press conference. “Most of these areas already had smaller numbers of ICU beds available and are seeing increased need for ICU beds, but not just for COVID illnesses. Our hospitals around the state have worked hard to build caBox pacity. We want to ensure they preserve that capacity in the coming weeks and months.”

Nearly 400 additional schools reported COVID-19 data last week, Box said. The state reported 303 additional student COVID-19 cases, totaling 1,992 student cases dating to the beginning of the school year.

The number of counties with high scores on the state’s county-level COVID-19 map also increased. The map ranks Indiana counties using average scores denoted by colors. Blue counties have the lowest average scores. Yellow, orange and red counties have progressively higher average scores, which are determined by averaging scores

attributed to the number of weekly positive cases per 100,000 county residents and the county’s percent positivity rate.

Two weeks ago, four counties were in orange, and no counties were in red. Last week, eight counties were in orange and one in red.

“Some of the changes you are seeing this week are results of outbreaks in long-term care facilities,” Box said. “Another county is dealing with the fallout of more than 30 cases tied to a single event at which people gathered indoors, in close proximity, without wearing masks. Keep in mind that our temperatures outside are going to continue to drop and that we are officially in fall, and that is going to make it harder to hold activities outdoors. As people come inside more and the flu season ramps up, we need Hoosiers to be more vigilant about hand washing, social distancing and wearing masks.

“I know you are tired of wearing masks and staying apart. We all have pandemic fatigue, but I keep hearing about the cases that could have been prevented if we had just taken these simple precautions.”

Box said for the state to remain in Stage 5 of its reopening plan, Hoosiers must continue mitigation efforts because it could be several months before a vaccine is available to the public.

“Let’s use the tools we have now to keep our state open and keep Hoosiers healthy,” Box said.

BOONE MEADOW ELEMENTARY RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION Zionsville Community Schools’ Boone Meadow Elementary was recently named a 2020 U.S. Dept. of Education National Blue Ribbon School, a recognition for exemplary public and nonpublic schools based on academics or on progress closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.

ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said the school was the district’s third in three years to earn the national recognition. “This is recognition that is all about the gears working together well,” Robison said. “That would be the parenting before kids ever reach school, and that matching up nicely with teachers who are really mission-oriented and kids who work hard, so it’s really that three-legged stool that makes schools good when they’re good and makes them great when they persist at doing those things that serve children well.” (Above) Boone Meadow Elementary Principal Tom Hundley assists a student.

Making the scene with Jazzbo Collins Commentary by Ward Degler Something strange happened when the coronavirus hit. People stopped listening to the radio. I found out PLAIN TALK about this when I had to make a trip in the car the other day and heard the guy on the radio lamenting, “No one is listening anymore.”

I guess that made sense. People mostly listen to the radio while they’re in the car.

Quarantined at home, they watch TV, listen to music or check out the internet.

That’s sad, and it brought to mind Jazzbo Collins. I used to listen to Jazzbo when I was an art student in Kansas City. He was on the air from midnight to 4 a.m., which was perfect because neither I nor any other art student ever went to bed before 3 a.m.

His real name was Al, but he went by Jazzbo, a moniker he assumed from an ad for clip-on bow ties called Jazzbows. It was pure coincidence that his favorite music was jazz.

It was his love of jazz that put him on the late-night slot on WNEW in New York.

He was originally hired as an afternoon disc jockey to play the top popular tunes, music

that Jazzbo despised.

For several days, Jazzbo played nothing but jazz on the show. Management then ordered him to play top hits and nothing but top hits. To comply, Jazzbo Collins played that week’s No. 1 hit, “Mr. Sandman,” for a full hour and a half. The next day, Collins was banished to the midnight hours, a show he called the “Milkman’s Matinee.”

Not only did Jazzbo play nothing but jazz, he talked nothing but jive. Everything was cool, gone, wild, crazy and hip – language he used in several bedtime stories he made up. In “Little Red Riding Hood,” Red set off to make the scene at Grandma’s pad. “Wild,” said the wolf. “Crazy,” said Red. In “Jack and

the Beanstalk,” the cow’s name was Spigot, and the Giant ran a cool jazz club. The laziest of the “Three Little Pigs” built his pad out of used clarinet reeds and Scotch tape.

Collins was born in 1919 in Rochester, N.Y., and died in 1997 at the age of 78. His music and memory, however, will make it with the Forever Scene.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”

Keeping health care strong Commentary by Dr. Alexander Choi Our elected representatives and senators in Washington recently addressed the repayment terms of loans PANDEMIC offered to health care providers nationwide. These loans — distributed through the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Programs (MAAPP) — helped providers navigate the uncertain financial climate brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, strict repayment terms — including too short repayment deadlines, stripping providers of their Medicare payments until loans are repaid and a staggering 10 percent interest rate that kicks in if loans are not paid back in time — threatened to undermine the very purpose of these loans.

Fortunately, the House included several updates to MAAPP loan repayment terms as part of a government funding bill and the Senate followed suit and promptly passed the legislation.

With this pressing matter resolved for now, they must swiftly turn their attention to other issues similarly threatening to undermine our health care system.

That means addressing the longstanding problem of surprise medical billing.

No one should have to worry about getting hit with an unexpected bill for costs their insurance company didn’t cover, especially in a pandemic. This can happen if the patient unintentionally sees an out-ofnetwork provider in an in-network facility.

While Indiana’s recent law attempts to address this issue, it tilts the scales heavily in favor of insurance companies, essentially allowing them to dictate what they believe are “fair” payments to physicians and incentivizes the insurance companies to push certain providers out of network in order to pay them less.

Congress should work to solve this issue in a way that allows providers and insurers to negotiate truly fair rates.

I hope that Indiana Sens. Mike Braun and Todd Young will lead on these issues.

ZGA listening sessions planned

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville officials have scheduled additional in-person listening sessions regarding future development of GATEWAY a town entryway after an initial Oct. 1 session.

In July, Zionsville began the first stage of a proposed Zionsville Gateway Area plan by demolishing the building formerly owned by PNC Bank and locksmith shop at the northwest corner of Main and Sycamore streets.

Town officials are now establishing a plan for the vacant area to present to future developers that adheres to the community’s vision for the space.

The town is working with DELV Design, among other firms, to develop plans for the space.

“In the past, there have been developments that have been brought to the table without public input,” DELV Design principal Eric Anderson said. “What we’re trying to do is rethink how we reengage with the community at the very forefront of this thought process so that we can understand what the community wants.”

Information was presented at the Oct. 1 session concerning the gateway. Community feedback was gathered for the space, including thoughts on what, if any, elements should be pursued, whether they be residential or retail space, parks, trails, public art, etc.

Additionally, the town has planned a second day of sessions from 9 to 11 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 22 at Zionsville Town Hall. The sessions will be the same as the Oct. 1 session and will last approximately 45 minutes, according to town officials. Stations at the sessions will be spaced to allow social distancing. Participants must wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

The session also will be presented virtually at forms.gle/QxtoV7A18EfpHphm8.

“The value of a plan is incredible,” Zionsville Director of Planning and Economic Development Wayne DeLong said. “The goal is to reduce to written word people’s preferences and interests. That really eliminates the guess work.”

DeLong said the process, by collecting public feedback from the outset, compresses time and concerns typically associated with similar projects.

Chamber enhances town Commentary by Mayor Emily Styron On behalf of the Town of Zionsville, I want to recognize the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce for the work VIEWPOINT they are doing to support our local merchants and the betterment of the town during this challenging time.

Since the start of the current health emergency, the Zionsville chamber has worked closely with local businesses, nonprofits and organizations to advance the civic, economic and cultural environment of our town. The work does not go unnoticed.

The Zionsville chamber has provided countless resources, tools and special events for local businesses including, but not limited to, an e-gift card program, educational webinars, Facebook Live virtual shopping events and a recently launched “Shop Zionsville” website. This past summer, the Town of Zionsville was proud to partner with the Zionsville Chamber on the launch of Night on the Bricks, which brought residents and visitors to Main Street to safely dine outside and visit downtown shops, furthering our support of Zionsville’s local business

community.

A thriving business community is a key driver of our local economy. Zionsville chamber staff dedicate their time to serving our community, acting as liaisons between local businesses, the Town of Zionsville, Zionsville Community Schools and many others.

The Town of Zionsville has a long-standing history of supporting the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, and we’re proud of that history. I pledge to continue to support the Zionsville chamber for years to come as we partner together to help our community weather this storm.

We all play a role in making Zionsville a great place to live, learn and do business. I offer gratitude to the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce for their ongoing support of and advocacy for local businesses.

Racing team to build global headquarters in Creekside Corporate Park

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com An auto racing team has announced plans to build a global headquarters in Zionsville’s Creekside Corporate Park in a deal that bolsters the town’s long-term economic development goals.

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing will invest more than $20 million to build its headquarters at the northeast corner of Creek Way and 106th Street. The project will create an expected 73 new jobs by the end of 2024, according to the company. Wayne DeLong, the town’s director of planning and economic development, said the headquarters would also create assessed value, which would be funneled into the area’s tax increment financing district.

The 100,000-square-foot facility, which will occupy 13.32 acres, will allow RLL to consolidate its existing operations in Brownsburg and Ohio. The facility will have office and event space as well as automotive research and development and light manufacturing operations to support RLL’s racing teams. The headquarters also will allow the company to move forward with plans for a race shop, company officials said. The company expects to break ground

on its headquarters later this year and be fully operational by spring 2022, according to a press release.

RLL is co-owned by three-time IndyCar champion and 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal, former late show host and Indiana native David Letterman and Mi-Jack co-owner Mike Lanigan. The company has four entries in the NTT IndyCar Series and International Motor Sports Association’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. RLL driver Takuma Sato, a two-time Indy 500 champion, won the 2020 running of the race. The team won its first Indy 500 in 2004 with pole sitter Buddy Rice.

Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron’s has often stated that one of her goals for the town is to foster economic development, partic-

ularly by filling Creekside Corporate Park.

As early as late February, during her State of the Town address, she announced that RLL had expressed interest in moving to the business park.

“Our efforts to seek the right fit for Creekside Corporate Park have proven successful with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing expanding to Zionsville and choosing Creekside Corporate Park for their corporate headquarters,” Styron stated.

“We feel that this building will make a statement about who we are at RLL and what our intentions are about the future,” Rahal stated. “Having our entire organization based in the Indianapolis area, in Zionsville, is going to be a big plus for our organization. We have done a great job of having two facilities, as is showcased by our wins in the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Indianapolis 500 this season, but it is certainly demanding having people in two places. We have had time to really look at the building and design every aspect with input from our personnel to maximize the space.”

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. will offer RLL up to $1.2 million in conditional, performance-based tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans, and up to $300,000 in conditional tax credits from the Hoosier Business Investment tax credit program based on the company’s planned capital investment in Indiana, according to the IEDC. “I am personally very excited and honored to be working with the town of Zionsville,” Lanigan stated. “I used to live in the area

A NEW APPROACH TO FILLING CREEKSIDE Cities and towns often offer tax abatements, in the form of a stair-step, 10-year deal, to attract companies. But to draw companies to Creekside Corporate Park, Zionsville has taken another approach.

The space RLL purchased in Creekside Corporate Park has an appraised value of approximately $2.93 million, according to town officials. The company purchased it for $10, in exchange for developer’s obligations.

“After the appraisal process, we did advertise the available lots for sale through the public bidding process that ended in June,” Zionsville Economic Redevelopment Commission member Sanjay Patel said during a September commission meeting. “At that time, we did not have any interest at the advertised price.”

Town officials said it was the second time lots in the business park had been advertised.

To renew interest, officials decided to offer the lots RLL purchased at below market value as opposed to offering a tax abatement. Town officials said that the offer allows the town to collect taxes and reap other benefits that will equate to the $2.93 million figure within approximately fewer than 10 years. Patel said the deal is part of the long-term benefit of developing the business park.

“We’re not making any taxes on it now as it sits empty,” Zionsville Redevelopment Commission member Kent Esra said during a September commission meeting.

Wayne DeLong, the town’s director of planning and econmic development, said the town will consider both ways of attracting companies in the future, adding that future projects’ cost of entry could be “closer, if not at market (value).”

In addition to RLL, Group 1001 and DK Pierce have acquired lots in Creekside Corporate Park. Ten parcels are still available in the business park, and one is under negotiation, according to town documents last updated in August. The available parcels are priced between $1.215 million and $295,000. years ago and look forward to our team integrating ourselves into the community and their various programs. Having our racing teams under one roof will not only maximize our abilities, it will provide economies of scale to keep the cost down. That savings will enable us to reinvest more back into the company.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Heroes and villians

Support Schaibley

Commentary by Terry Anker Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, famed originator of the James Bond films, took famed author Ian Fleming’s fictional British Secret Service agent to iconic status.

Some 67 years after 007 first appeared, the recent delay, again, of the premier of the 25th movie installment of the series — ‘No Time to Die’ — made international headlines. Some entertainment industry experts hold that the film’s postponement led to the closing of the national Regal chain of theaters. While some might decry the formulaic and predictable nature of the franchise, millions find comfort in the standard. The bad guy loses, the good guy wins and the world is saved once more.

Black Nehru jacket, check. Beautiful companion and unusual, if not freak-ofnature security guard, check. Sinister but cool look in the eye, check. Signet ring or small tattoo to confirm their allegiance to the cause, check and double check. We could discern the evil megalomaniac from our virtuous protagonist even without the swanky orchestral movement that would usher him in. Of the many actors who have undertaken the Bond role, each wore a tailored suit, a cheeky attitude and a Walther PPK. In remarkable, if human, form, Bond would overcome evil by relying on his own capacity, with a bit of help from the ingenious Q. As kids, we’d cheer as the corrupt political leader, obsessive media mogul, mentally deranged heiress or wily foreign power would be cleverly corralled into their final collapse at the hands of our champion. But today, can we tell the difference between the heroes and villains?

Wearing the same safe blue suit and hospital mask, they all look alike. No music announces their intention, and no distinguishing scar marks their countenance.

It is up to us to choose the winner. Are we up for it?

No more swearing, I swear Commentary by Danielle Wilson For the millionth time, I’m vowing to curtail my cussing. Not go cold turkey (I’m not stupid!), but rather an easing HUMOR off on the R-rated material. I don’t always judge my audience correctly, and a little self-censorship would go a long way toward a classier me.

It’s hard though, especially in a s&*% year like this one. With each new Trump debacle, COVID crisis, election trauma or family heartbreak, I want to scream like an inebriated salty-dog sailor. That’s a lot of screaming. October alone has forced me to become truly creative in my word choice, often resulting in brand new swears like “t^$#-waddler.” You’re welcome.

It’s also difficult because I no longer have young children to act as natural barriers to my filthy mouth. My oldest accidentally dropped an F-bomb during a recent phone conversation and all I did was laugh. Laugh!

Then there’s the whole scientific argument for cursing. Research (i.e., Myth

Busters) has proven that even muttering obscenities under your breath can increase pain tolerance. Apparently, an adamant “darn” doesn’t come close to the power of a perfectly lobbed “c%#*s@!*&er!”

And let’s be honest, when used appropriately and with solid comedic timing, foul language is hilarious. That’s why I love my family and co-workers. They get it. They know that profanity is simply a punch line, a vent, or a colorful way to say, “Life sucks right now.”

So, maybe it’s not possible to totally expurgate my vocabulary, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try. When you come close to using an unmentionable word in front of high school students, it’s time to reevaluate.

Here’s to a classier me. Peace out.

Editor, I’m writing to support our current (no pun intended) state representative, Donna Schaibley. Regardless of your views about other Republican candidates, I ask you to support Schaibley for her no vote for House Bill 1414.

HB 1414 was passed, so by definition in Indiana it had majority Republican support. HB 1414 slows the pace with which coal-fired power plants can be retired. It is a classic example of a special interest coal mining buying (politely called lobbying) influence in the state legislature. Coal mining is an insignificant segment of the overall economy in Indiana: How many miners do you know? Not only are these plants uber polluters, they’re inefficient and expensive. The utilities themselves want to shutter them. They aren’t competitive and are doomed in the long run since (eventually) the low-cost producer drives the high-priced producer out of business. This is called capitalism.

Lucian Lupinski, Zionsville

Regardless of your views about other Republican candidates, I ask you to support Schaibley for her no vote for House Bill 1414.

Pros and cons of black licorice Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Lots of big news in the world of candy. First, as you may have heard, due to COVID-19, there will be no HUMOR Peeps this Halloween. In fact, there may be no Halloween this Halloween.

Scientists have recently raised concern about licorice. Apparently, a Massachusetts construction worker died of an overdose.

He ate three bags of black licorice a day for two weeks, which the experts say results in a toxic level of glycyrrhizic acid. Glycyrrhizic also is the sound your stomach makes when you eat three bags of licorice a day for two weeks. The guy collapsed in a fastfood restaurant, where he reportedly ate three Whoppers a day for two weeks. No mention of that in the autopsy report.

So, too much black licorice is bad for you, but apparently small amounts of the treat are beneficial, slowing the effects of aging on the brain and keeping mental skills sharp, controlling respiratory problems and soothing a sore throat. It also combats hepatitis and calms skin irritations, just to name a few reasons to eat the occasional Twizzler.

By the way, red licorice is not licorice; it’s just candy. If you are color blind, take special note whether you binge on black or red. And don’t play checkers or roulette.

Currently, you can buy licorice over the counter — the candy counter, that is. No prescription needed. But that will all change if Eli Lilly can figure out a way to get those rubbery sticks into a tiny plastic bottle. If that happens and black licorice is officially declared a drug, the cost will soar and might even exceed what you pay for licorice in the movie theater. Then the government will require warnings on the bottle: Side effects include blackened teeth, no teeth, inflamed gums, jaw ache, weight gain and funny facial expressions when chewing. Do not eat licorice if you plan to operate heavy machinery, drive a car or ride a tricycle. In rare cases, licorice may cause impotence, but findings are inconclusive because most of the people eating black licorice are under 7 years old.

My wife loves sweets, but she always feels bad about this guilty pleasure. So, when I saw her step into the kitchen pantry to nibble on something, I called to her, “What are you eating in there, Mary Ellen?”

“Ummlicrsssh.”

“I knew it. Licorice. I hope you already heard the news, Mary Ellen. A little black licorice is good for you, but too much is bad for you. Or are you are eating red licorice?”

“Not sure, Dick. The light automatically goes off when I close the door.”

Just for fun, I looked up “Effects of different candies on your health.” A lot of investigations are in the works. I would happily volunteer as a test eater, but most of this research is done on animals, and they’re generally opposed to being experiment subjects. At least a diet of Skittles, Bit O’ Honeys and gummy bears is a step up from being forced to smoke three packs of cigarettes a day.

A final note to kids: If you go trick-ortreating, avoid eating too much black licorice if it ends up in your sack. And please, wear a mask!

Metatarsalgia: How to treat it Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan If the ball of your foot is painful and inflamed, you may have FOOT HEALTH metatarsalgia, also known as ball of foot pain. Symptoms include: • Burning, sharp or aching pain in the ball of your foot -- just behind your toes.

• Your pain is worse when you stand and better when you rest.

• Your toes may be numb, tingling or have shooting pain.

• It could feel like a pebble is stuck in your foot.

What causes metatarsalgia?

Intense physical fitness, especially running, and training in worn-out shoes can increase your risk as can having high arches, a second toe that is longer than your big toe, bunions and hammertoes. Other contributors include tight calf muscles, which can cause an Achilles tendon to not allow the foot to extend when walking or running; excess weight; shoes that don’t fit; and stress fractures in your foot, or a Morton’s neuroma.

Treatment of Hip & Knee Arthritis

Treating ball of foot pain Metatarsalgia shares symptoms with several other foot conditions. To get an accurate diagnosis, you will want to schedule an appointment. Once we confirm the cause of pain, we’ll begin a treatment plan.

Changing or padding your shoes, over-thecounter anti-inflammatory medications, resting and the RIE plan (rest, ice and elevation) may offer pain relief. If your Achilles tendon is causing ball of foot pain, calf stretching exercises need to be a part of any regimen.

Low-impact sports such as swimming may be prescribed as you recover.

Custom orthotics can take pressure off the balls of your feet while offering pain relief. MLS Laser Therapy may be an option to relieve pain and promote faster healing.

If noninvasive treatment plans don’t offer enough relief, foot surgery may be needed to get you walking comfortably again.

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s production is a sign of the times

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Gregory Hancock, it seemed natural to create pieces about the uncertainty everyone has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PERFORMANCE “We’ve created a specific piece for the time that we are in right now and the things we’ve experienced the last few months,” he said.

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will present four performances of “Dances for a New World: Part One” Oct. 22-24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The performances will be followed by “Dances for a New World: Part Two” Jan. 14-16, 2021 and “Dances for a New World: Part Three” April 1. The season closes with “There’s No Place Like Home.”

“All four pieces are interconnected in a way,” Hancock said.

“The first part is all new dances and choreography that reflect the times that we’ve been in the last few months, the isolation, the fear of how art is going to come back. There’s been a lot of feelings I’ve had and the dancers have had, and (we) try to create those feelings and emotions in this new piece.”

Hancock said there is a lot of eclectic music and one big piece.

There is no intermission in the 75-minute show.

There is no partnering and dancers aren’t allowed to touch.

“At first, it was challenging, and I was little discouraged on how we do that,” Hancock said. “Then, I decided to look at what we can do instead of what we can’t do. It’s been a creative, enjoyable process for me to create this new work. I think people will be surprised by the performance. It’s a new departure for the company.

“A lot of our pieces are story driven or narrative driven. While this does have a narrative, it’s much more abstract than most of our pieces.”

Hancock said the narrative is clear with everyone experiencing social distancing and isolation.

“I think the audiences will be able to relate to the piece and what is presented on stage,” he said. “It’s safe to come back to (The Tarkington). We’re bringing beauty back to the world.

There’s some emotional things in the piece, but it is hopeful and inspiring.”

Music variety ranges from avant garde to classical.

“Even our performers are social distancing on stage,” said Hancock, adding that dancers and the audience will wear face masks.

The dance studio closed March 13 and didn’t reopen until September.

“We had essentially six months off, and being in a physical career, that’s like six years off for other people,” company dancer Abbie Lessaris said. “Physically, it has been extremely challenging for us to have that much time off and then to jump back into

rehearsing full time and prepare a show. I think dancers are passionate, strong people, and we didn’t want our art to be silenced anymore.

“We got back in the studio and it was a long, hard process to start feeling physically capable as we were before, but we all pushed through.”

Lessaris said there are two parts of the show where a screen of plexiglass moves around the stage but is always separating two dancers from each other.

“I think that physical image will really resonate with the audience because it’s really in your face,” she said.

Lessaris is thrilled to be back with her co-workers.

“We’re a company that is a family, so being away from our co-workers was like being away from our family,” she said. “We’re letting everyone know the Center is taking procedures to be safe.

We’re ready to share our art again. We hope the audience is ready to return and see us finally dancing again.”

Capacity in the 500-seat hall is limited to 122 for each show to create social distancing between seats. Performances are at 7 p.m. Oct. 22-23 and 2 and 7 p.m. Oct. 24.

The Indianapolis Opera will present a virtual night of celebration called “Wings of Love” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 17. The event will feature world-class performers such as tenor Ganson Salmon and bass/baritone Rafael Porto, along with the talented Indianapolis Opera Resident Artists.

Performers will sing songs from popular musicals and operas. Virtual guests also will have an opportunity to bid on unique silent auction items until 8:30 p.m. Oct. 17.

Salmon is an Indianapolis Opera Resident Artist alumni from 2016. Porto was most recently a headliner at Opera at the Park.

The Indianapolis Opera is presenting the event free. However, Indianapolis Opera officials are requesting each guest to consider making a donation of $250, the cost of an Opera Ball ticket, to support the ongoing programs of the Indianapolis Opera such as the Resident Artists Program.

Exhibit features rare books, art

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alexandra Hudson figures this is a perfect time in American history for this exhibit.

“Some Books Make Us Free” is an ART exhibition of artistic interpretation of rare books at the Harrison Center, 1505 N. Delaware St., Indianapolis.

“I’m thrilled to be involved in this initiative of the Harrison Center which is able to marry all the things that I love, which Hudson is classic ideas of human freedom and human dignity, rare books and great works of antiquity that contribute to the freedom that we enjoy today and also art and civil discourse,” said Hudson, who is serving as Harrison Center’s Scholar in Residence. “We have commissioned local artists to interpret and respond to and bring to life the themes of these rare books.”

Visitors can view rare books from which the commissioned art will be inspired, including an 18th-century edition of the “Magna Carta;” an early edition of Samuel

Photographer opens gallery

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel photographer Roben Bellomo didn’t want a traditional art gallery.

Bellomo and Dallas-based phoART tographer Jim Hamel wanted a more creative approach to their gallery, providing experiences through the art.

“We wanted a place where everybody could engage in some way, shape or form,” Bellomo said. “We are doing quarterly exhibits of limited pieces. The opening collection is part of a perspective series, which plays on the way we all experience the world in different ways. We were on a trip to Ireland last year for two weeks. We went to all the same places and at all the same time.

What we were trying to do was show how differently we saw what we saw and how differently we captured it. Maybe we should take more time talking and listening to how other people experience the world instead of thinking it’s all the same.”

BEHN Gallery, 2149 Glebe St., Suite 100, opened last month in the Village of West Clay in Carmel.

The gallery’s name is derived from the

initials of the names for Bellomo and his wife Adrienne’s children, Neva and Bodhi, and Hamel and his wife Susan Fesmire’s children, Elizabeth and Hannah.

Bellomo said there will be different artwork to display the creativity of both co-owners.

Bellomo and his wife opened BELLOMO Studios in 2014, centering on fine Portraiture, small business branding imagery and commission pieces.

Address: 124 E. Main St., Westfield What to get: Brisket Price: $10-$18 Anna’s take: My sister-in-law was born and raised in Memphis, and she’s always taking me to hot BBQ spots in Tennessee.

Next time she visits me, I can’t wait to take her by Ben’s BBQ Shack in Westfield. The name is appropriate — owner Ben Hoffman operates out of a tiny shack on Ind. 32 in downtown Westfield. The place is so small, there’s no inside dining. People line up outside and order at the window, then take their purchases with them or eat outdoors on the picnic tables. Let me tell you, this spot is worth waiting in line for, regardless of the weather. The menu is short, but the quality is huge. My favorite was the brisket — a delectable, melt-in-your-mouth order of meat available for $10 per half pound or $18 per pound. I also loved the pulled pork.

I’m a sandwich girl, so I prefer my pulled

pork on a bun, but you can opt for no bun.

The pulled pork is $8 per half pound or $14 per pound. A pulled pork sandwich is $8, and a brisket sandwich is $10. In addition, delicious ribs are available for $14 per pound. Hoffman makes everything in-house, including the barbecue sauce and sides of coleslaw and baked beans.

Ben’s BBQ Shack is open from noon to 3 p.m. Fridays and 4 to 8 p.m. Saturdays, or until Hoffman sells out each day. I suggest getting there early. He sells out frequently.

Ahmedabad’s unique mosque Commentary by Don Knebel A 16th-century mosque in Ahmedabad, the fifth-largest city in India and one of the world’s fastest-growing cities, TRAVEL provides a symbol of the city.

It also provides a symbol of the little-known contribution of African slaves to Indian architecture.

Ahmedabad is in Gujarat, a state along the northwest coast of India. In 1411, Ahmad Shah I, the sultan of Gujarat and a member of the Muzaffarid Dynasty, erected the Bhadra Fort on the east bank of the Sabarmati River and founded the surrounding town, which he named Ahmedabad, as his new capital. By this time, Gujarat was home to slaves known as “Hapshi,” who had been captured near the Horn of Africa. Rulers of the Muzaffarid Dynasty used the Hapshi as bodyguards, and some rose to high positions in the military and the government. By 1537, as many as 5,000 Hapshis were working for the sultan of Gujarat. When Muzzafar Shah III became sultan in 1561, he gave a Hapshi named Sidì Saiyyed an important

role in his administration. Sidì Saiyyed designed and built a mosque near the Bhadra Fort in the center of Ahmedabad. Workers completed the mosque in 1573, the same year that Mughal Emperor Akbar captured Gujarat from the Muzaffarids.

Today, only the sandstone prayer hall, the open front of which faces the courtyard, remains of what is known as the Sidì Saiyyed Mosque. The prayer hall is renowned for 10 arched sandstone screens (jalis) on the rear and side walls. The best known of

the intricately carved screens reflects the Tree of Life, which Muslims believe grows in Paradise. The prayer hall is the best-known example of what has become known as the Gujarati style of design. Residents of Ahmedabad often use the Tree of Life from the Sidì Saiyyed Mosque to represent their city.
