HELP ON THE WAY

ELI LILLY RELEASES COVID-19 ANTIBODY TREATMENT

8 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2021 / atFishers.com

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided

across the U.S., including right here in Indianapolis.

After a year that feels like it’s been full of upsets and letdowns, news that Eli Lilly and Company has produced a COVID-19 antibody treatment, for which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted emergency authorization, is a reason to celebrate. The treatment stems from one of the first coronavirus survivors from the Pacific Northwest.

“We know bamlanivimab is in several hospitals in Indiana, and patients have already been dosed with it,” Sabo says.

“When your body has a virus that enters it, your immune system recognizes it and creates antibodies that help your body to rid itself of the virus,” says Janelle Sabo, Eli Lilly’s COVID-19 therapeutics platform leader. “We were able to isolate one of those antibodies and scale it up.”

When introduced to the human body, this antibody binds to the COVID-19 virus and helps neutralize it, so that it clears from the body. Once Eli Lilly was granted approval by the FDA, the U.S. government bought a supply that was shipped to Eli Lilly’s wholesaler. Every week, the U.S. government and state health departments across the country decide where the therapy should be shipped. Currently the therapy, called bamlanivimab, is at various locations

What this treatment means for high-risk patients is significant. High-risk patients include those who are older, overweight, or have conditions that predispose them to suffer acutely after contracting COVID-19.

The antibody is administered as soon as possible following a positive coronavirus test - within 10 days of developing symptoms.

“Our hope is that when this therapy is administered early on, those patients will avoid hospitalization and hopefully will be able to ease their symptomology sooner as well,” Sabo says.

If an individual is exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, they should get tested. If they are positive and have symptoms, they may be a candidate for this drug if they are 55 or over, have a body mass index over 35, or have conditions like cardiovascular disease or an impaired immune system.

It’s important to note that once patients atFishers.com / JANUARY 2021 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 9

Janelle Sabo, Eli Lilly’s COVID-19 therapeutics platform leader.

are ill enough to be hospitalized, bamlanivimab is not the right treatment for them.

“This is because at that point there are other biological things that are going on that may require a different set of treatments,” Sabo says. “This antibody treatment is targeted for that early-diagnosis, symptomatic, notready-to-go-to-the-hospital population.”

Sabo says the virus has caused a strain on many hospital systems.

“We are seeing fewer and fewer ICU beds,” Sabo says. “We are also seeing busier and

“ WHEN YOUR BODY HAS A VIRUS THAT ENTERS IT, YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES IT AND CREATES ANTIBODIES THAT HELP YOUR BODY TO RID ITSELF OF THE VIRUS. WE WERE ABLE TO ISOLATE ONE OF THOSE ANTIBODIES AND SCALE IT UP.” — Janelle Sabo, Eli Lilly’s COVID-19 therapeutics platform leader

busier ERs. This is true here in Indiana and across the country.”

When this treatment is administered in the right time period, it has the ability to help reduce that strain in hospitals and emergency rooms.

“The data would suggest this antibody treatment could reduce [the virus] as much as 70 to 80% in this population,” Sabo says.

“This is an opportunity not only to help patients feel better faster, but also to help the health care system to reduce some of the pressure of the hospitalizations and additional ER visits.”

Sabo’s biggest piece of advice to the community is to wear masks to reduce the spread.

“I know that there is mask fatigue, but until vaccines become widely available and there are additional treatments, we really need to wear them,” Sabo says. “Mask wearing is as much about you as it is about your neighbor, your best friend, your grandmother and your mother. It’s about protecting those with immune systems that are weakened, or have conditions that make it harder to fight these types of infection.”

Sabo notes that “infection” is an interesting term, since many people who test positive for the virus never develop symptoms.

“This new antibody treatment is not for them,” she explains. “This is about looking at patients who not only have the virus but now have started to develop symptoms.

10 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2021 / atFishers.com

I think that’s an important distinction because there are a lot of people who have a positive test and no symptoms, and frankly those patients will likely go on to do just fine with very little treatment or intervention.”

With vaccines developed that are reportedly 90 to 95% effective, Sabo believes significant progress can be made in fighting the pandemic in 2021.

“It’s important we recognize that there is much that we still don’t know [about the virus], so we shouldn’t be overly confident that just because we are [in a certain demographic] that we are always going to be okay,” Sabo adds. “Always is a big statement.”

With each new year, people often sit down and try to figure out resolutions.

Last year was a tough one in many ways, and hopefully 2021 will hold many happy moments. Resolutions can sometimes feel overwhelming, and oftentimes disappointing. This year, let’s try a fresh approach.

For 2021, create your own bucket list of things you can feel good accomplishing.

Complete them any time during the year, at your own pace, and enjoy the moments when you are doing them. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

VISIT SOMEWHERE Many people were stuck at home more than usual last year, exploring what’s available to them in their own backyard. Maybe it’s time to visit that state park you haven’t been to, or that new campsite. You can still travel and be safe, and it’s good for the soul - even if it’s just exploring a newly built park down the street. Get outside and visit somewhere new to you. Remember, it doesn’t have to be far.

READ SOMETHING Every year many people decide they are going to read more, but this year let’s take it easy. Just pick something to read. Maybe you’ll start a book that you’ve been wanting to read for a while. Maybe try reading the newspaper every day. Whatever it is, don’t overcomplicate it. Read something, an entire something, and be done with it.

COOK SOMETHING 2020 could possibly be called the year of cooking for many. Still, take time in 2021 to try a new recipe or cook as a family. Try family pizza night, or if you’ve done that, go for something harder. Your kids will love trying to make macarons or some sort of festive cake. If you really want to have fun with it, create a little competition.

WATCH SOMETHING Many of us have been binging on plenty of old and new TV shows lately. There’s so much out there to watch that sometimes it can be overwhelming. Take a minute to research documentaries online, and choose one that CLEAN SOMETHING covers a topic you know nothing about.

All year long things can often get shoved into closets, and now is a great time to tackle Post on Facebook asking for suggestions them one by one. You can check this one off from friends for new shows to watch. Pick something and watch it from beginning to after you’ve cleaned up a room or a closet, end, even if it’s a seven-season sitcom. or maybe reorganized a pantry. Whatever it is, pick something you’ll feel good about when you are done.

atFishers.com / JANUARY 2021 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 13

TRY SOMETHING May I suggest yoga? Try something new that you haven’t done before, and maybe something that will help to alleviate stress and clear your head. It doesn’t have to be yoga - maybe try a new workout or starting a new routine. Think outside the box here, too. It could be a new game, a new sport or a new type of art. Whatever you choose, make it something you can continue to do throughout the new year and maybe longer.

CREATE SOMETHING Many homes were filled to the brim with artwork in 2020. Every year should be like that. Don’t always leave this to the kids, and remember, creating isn’t limited to painting or drawing a picture. It could be those mudroom lockers you’ve been meaning to build, or maybe it’s that backyard oasis that’s been on your list too.

MAKE A DONATION Choose a favorite cause, and donate or volunteer this year. There are many people and foundations in need of help after such a rough 2020, and this is the perfect time to get out there and help others. It’s never a bad idea to offer help to those in need, and you can do so in many ways. If you are very busy and can afford it, monetary donations can be helpful. If volunteering in person is more your speed, reach out to your local food bank, homeless shelter or other organization, and find out how you can serve as a volunteer. *** Hopefully these ideas have given you a start on how to rock your 2021. Wishing you the best in the new year - you’ve got this!

A PLACE FOR REFLECTION ANGEL OF HOPE MEMORIAL GARDEN OPENS AT HERITAGE PARK atFishers.com / JANUARY 2021 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 15

There are more than 100 Angel of Hope sites around the U.S. Each one is home to an annual dedication on December 6. The here is perhaps no greater pain Fishers Parks Foundation broke ground at than that of losing a child. Holly Heritage Park in December of 2019, with a Schwomeyer knows such pain all projected completion date of December 6, too well. When her daughter, Allison Koers, 2020. Thanks to several generous donors, passed away in May of 2018, she struggled project leaders met their objective. Local to find the strength to move forward. One entrepreneur Steve Cage was one of those day when she was attending a support group donors. He attended Harvest Fest to support for parents who have lost children, someone local artists who had been hit hard due to the mentioned the Angel of Hope Memorial pandemic. At the festival he learned about Garden at Forest Park in Noblesville. She the Angel of Hope project and wanted to decided to visit the park and as she stood help, and his foundation donated $35,000. in the garden, a wave of comfort passed over her.

It’s hard to fathom forwarded the proposal to the Fishers that there are people out there who are so Parks Foundation. generous.”

The Parks Foundation has helped to install bike racks, inclusive playground equipment and pickleball courts at Cyntheanne Park.

They also facilitate the honor brick pavers at Liberty Plaza. The Angel of Hope Memorial Garden seemed to Parks Foundation leaders like a great way to fill a need in the community.

“Unfortunately, over the past few years we have become too familiar with the services held for students who have taken their own lives, as well as families who have lost children in accidents due to illness, infant loss and miscarriage,” says Lisa Knowles, president of the Fishers Parks Foundation.

“Providing a place where those families and friends can gather individually or as a group seemed like an easy choice.”

Others have made contributions as well.

Jeff Gatewood, former owner of Allisonville Nursery, Home & Garden, provided all the landscaping for the project free of charge.

Gatewood lost two daughters, one at birth and one at 23. Tim Birch is a mason who donated his time and skills to the project because he, too, knows the pain of loss, as his daughter passed away.

“We are all finding peace through this,” says Schwomeyer, who even now struggles to grapple with Allison’s tragic death.

Allison suffered a seizure in her sleep and went into cardiac arrest. Her husband Mark, a firefighter, tried to revive her but was unsuccessful. Allison, who had just turned 32, was in a coma for three weeks and never 16 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2021 / atFishers.com

regained consciousness. Doctors weren’t able to pinpoint what caused the seizure.

Schwomeyer calls the Angel of Hope a “God-sent blessing,” and is pleased with the location that the Fishers Park Foundation selected. Because Heritage Park is located on the west end of the city and doesn’t have a playground or sports facilities, it’s fairly quiet. The Ambassador House hosts weddings and other events, and the garden that surrounds it is a labor of love for the group that tends it. There is a paved path all the way through the back side of the park that runs through the trees and by the river.

“As we were looking for a site for the Angel, we considered five different spots within the park in an attempt to find a space that was beautiful, peaceful and easily accessible, while providing some privacy but not isolation,” Knowles says. “It was one of the ladies who tends the garden that suggested the spot next to the gazebo, and the landscape architect, Gary Warren, agreed.”

Because of the raised structure of the patio, Warren was able to create a spot that looks out over the park while granting visitors some privacy. Additionally, Gatewood planted shrubs and small tulip trees.

“The serene location is breathtaking - these children can be remembered forever in a very peaceful place,” says Schwomeyer, noting that there will be benches around the memorial as well as a shelter. She also made sure the garden is handicap accessible.

On a recent visit to the Angel of Hope, Schwomeyer connected with another mom

child, having suffered multiple miscarriages throughout the last several years.

“She didn’t get to see her daughter graduate from high school or get married,” says Schwomeyer, tearing up at the thought. “I think this will be an incredible place for all of us to find healing and hope.”

“My husband and I always envisioned a large family,” she says. “We are so blessed to be parents to one awesome kid, but we are also familiar with the grief that these parents have experienced. While people grieve in The Angel of Hope Memorial Garden is many different ways, having a beautiful, located in Heritage Park, at 10595 Eller peaceful place to sit and think, or stand and Road in Fishers.

LOCAL TEACHER’S ARTWORK TO BE FEATURED AT FISHERS CITY HALL Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

Jeremy Mallov, an art teacher at Amy Beverland Elementary School, put his downtime last winter to good use.

Mallov painted constantly, and it paid off. His recent artwork will be featured in January at Fishers City Hall. The exhibition, titled ‘Local Splendor,’ will be on display starting the second week of January, with an opening reception on January 8.

a complete new significance, when nobody was allowed to go anywhere.”

What Mallov saw from his backyard, or around a corner, sometimes gave him contradicting emotions.

“I have gratitude for having a place to go and be safe, and to wonder at the simple beauty of a sunset, but also the claustrophobia and frustration at not being able to go where I want,” he says. “I have noticed myself appreciating the sunsets a bit more, and finding more beauty in the everyday, commonplace sights.”

“The exhibition will feature paintings of local scenes, painted almost entirely during the pandemic and lockdown,” Mallov explains.

Mallov’s job as an art teacher has a positive “The day the school closings were announced impact on his art. in March, I was on a walk with my wife when it all started to hit home for me.”

Splendor An exhibition of paintings by Fishers Artist Jeremy Mallov at the Fishers Art Gallery at Town Hall January 5-31st “Time is at a premium,” Mallov says. “One of the aspects of art I emphasize is how to find deeper meaning in art, and how to inject your own emotion, message or feeling into your picture, even if it is something as simple as a sunset painting. I have become really cognizant of what different scenes represent to me, or what memories or symbolism these scenes remind me of.”

able to monitor and report back if there are any issues.”

Writer / Renee Larr Photographer / Amy Payne

You might recognize him from the Emmys Red Carpet, or previously walking with a Kardashian, or hulking over John Legend and other celebrities at events. But he has now planted his flag here in Fishers, Indiana.

Personal and professional security is more important now than ever before. Parents worry about monitoring their children’s online activity. Business leaders and celebrities worry about keeping themselves and their employees safe.

That’s where Eric Rose and his company Event Risk step in to assist.

“Event Risk is a security and risk management company,” Rose says. “Essentially, we do everything from static security guards to executive protection, investigations, risk assessment and social media training for households.”

Rose and his team will go into homes to train families on how to best mitigate risk as it pertains to their household.

Rose’s team also trains human resources departments on how to react in the event of workplace violence.

“We have a curriculum in place, but we want to make sure it’s a culture fit for the company,” Rose says. “So we’ll omit certain things or add certain things depending on what they need. We’ll talk about mass notifications, accountability, and roles and responsibilities through a crisis. We forge a curriculum that fits their specific needs.”

Rose started Event Risk in 2019, and it proved fruitful enough to allow him to leave his day job.

“We kind of went from a mom-and-pop type operation to a legitimized corporation overnight,” Rose says.

Rose has employees spread out across the world.

“By the end of the first quarter in 2021 we will have about 400 employees all across the globe,” he says. “A lot of it is based on client need.”

“We have a team of employees all over the globe, but a lot of the time I enjoy doing the family training myself,” Rose says. “I will teach parents how to monitor their kids’ social media, but in a way that isn’t intrusive. We teach things like kids need to have a code word when someone picks them up from school. The code word can mitigate a bad situation, but without doing it in a way that is daunting or scary to the kids.”

Rose previously held a role as Vice President with a Global Risk Management Firm and was tasked with opening the Indianapolis location in 2016.

Another area of expertise Rose offers is travel risk mitigation for executives.

Rose was then transferred again, this time out of Indiana.

“If a corporation sends an executive to Mexico or the Philippines, we have a bilingual driver security agent that’s ready to pick them up from the airport and take them to the hotel,” Rose says. “We’re

“I had never stepped foot in the state of Indiana and neither had my wife,” Rose says. “We knew nothing of Indiana. We ended up loving Fishers and the schools, which is very important to us.”

“In 2018 a former client offered me a job to handle entertainment and content protection,” Rose says. “It was a blank check for me to come out there and build a team to handle their events, red carpet premieres and entertainment studio protection. We moved to Los

Rose was also present during the July 13, 2019 blackout of Manhattan during a Jennifer Lopez concert at the Garden. He and his team of 200 staff were commended by the singer for evacuating 20,000 patrons from the arena professionally without any injuries.

When it came time for Rose and his family to decide where they wanted to live and base the business, they chose Fishers based on their experience living here. The family officially became Fishers residents again in July of 2020.

“I’ve lived many places and none of those places hold the same charm as Fishers,” Rose says. “They did not compare to Fishers for the quality of life, the school district and the people. It’s just little things like someone holding a door for you when you’re going into a store. It’s those little charming qualities that you don’t miss until you leave it.”

Rose often found himself conducting referrals for former clients when his wife of 23 years, Carey, helped him realize he should start his own company.

“I started Event Risk as an LLC and it did gain some traction,” Rose says. “I was already working on an exit plan to try to get out of California. Another former client offered me the vice president of security job at Madison Square Garden. I was transparent with

Rose has become an advocate for Indiana and Fishers.

“Look, I love traveling to different places like Boston, Dallas, New York and Los Angeles,” he says. “People vastly underrate this area.

GATES OPEN

TO WATER - NOT PUBLIC CITIZENS RESERVOIR WILL PROVIDE MORE THAN THREE BILLION GALLONS OF WATER STORAGE

Jeff Harrison, President and CEO of Citizens Energy Group

Writer / Seth Johnson Photographer / Brian Brosmer

The Geist area will soon be home to a second reservoir, as work on Citizens Reservoir, next to Citizens Energy Group’s Geist Reservoir along Olio Road, nears completion.

“The project has gone according to plan, and we’re thrilled with that,” says Jeff Harrison, president and CEO of Citizens Energy Group, the company behind the new reservoir. “We’ll really complete things here in 2020. Depending on weather conditions, we believe we’ll start to fill Citizens Reservoir in early spring of 2021.”

Citizens Reservoir will provide more than three billion gallons of additional water storage capacity to Citizens Energy Group by converting a retired deep limestone quarry to a dedicated water storage facility. At 230’ deep, the 90-acre reservoir’s depth is nearly equivalent to the height of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis, allowing it to hold approximately half the volume of the 1,800-acre Geist Reservoir. Unlike Geist Reservoir, 24 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2021 / atFishers.com

the new Citizens Reservoir is designed strictly for water storage purposes, with no public access for development or recreation.

now the Citizens Reservoir. Then site preparations began in 2018, and we’re now in the final stages of completing construction.”

According to Harrison, the Citizens Reservoir project aligns with the company’s ongoing planning for long-term water supply.

Harrison says Citizens Energy Group is now able to store more water at a lower cost.

“There are those of us in the organization that had some longerterm planning experience, so we really started thinking about longer-term water supply planning,” Harrison says. “That really increased our desire and search spectrum for opportunities for new sources of water.”

“When we look at our long-term water supply planning, we are really focused on trying to acquire the next gallon of water supply for the lowest cost,” Harrison says. “To put it in perspective, the total cost of the Citizens Reservoir is about $30 million, versus $600 million to construct a traditional reservoir.”

Upon discovering the limestone quarry off of Olio Road, Citizens Energy Group leaders quickly got to work on converting the land into a reservoir.

While it cannot be accessed for development or recreation purposes, Citizens Reservoir will still interact with the neighboring Geist Reservoir.

“We came across the quarry and started looking at it in 2014, and determined that it would potentially be a really nice reservoir for Citizens,” Harrison says. “In 2015 we purchased the quarry that is

“We will actually have Geist Reservoir to fill Citizens Reservoir,” Harrison says. “There’s a gate between the two reservoirs currently.

That gate will open on occasion and fill the Citizens Reservoir.”

“When we’re ready to use the water in Citizens Reservoir, we have a pump station that’s been constructed there on-site,” Harrison says. “We’ll then pump that water up and deposit it back into Geist Reservoir, where it’ll be able to flow down and over the dam into Fall Creek. Citizens will then be able to draw that water from our Fall Creek treatment plant or our White River treatment plant, which are both located downstream of Geist Reservoir.”

Since construction preparation kicked off in the spring of 2019, Harrison says the reservoir’s construction schedule has unfolded smoothly.

The gate was officially opened December 2. It will take a few months before Citizens Reservoir is completely filled.

The water supply in Citizens Reservoir will then be utilized during times of drought in Central Indiana. For example, Harrison references the drought of 2012 as a time when extra water supply was needed in the area.

“Now we’re really just going through some punchlist items and prepping the reservoir,” he says. “We believe we’ve had very little interruption in terms of neighbors and traffic flow as well.”

As for the Geist community, Harrison says it’s been a joy spending time in the area and getting to know Citizens Reservoir’s future neighbors.

“We receive around 42” of rain every year in this area, but we don’t always get the rain when we need it,” Harrison says. “This storage capacity allows us to store that water and pull it out exactly when we do need it. That’s the beauty of these reservoirs.”

“It’s a very beautiful area,” Harrison says. “I think the quarry and pump station also fit in very well. We won’t even be noticed by the community, which I think is what they want. The neighbors have been very gracious to us. They’ve been nice partners to work with, and that’s the way we like to work at Citizens.”

Harrison compares the function of a reservoir to that of a battery, adding that Citizens Reservoir will simply add to Citizen Energy Group’s overall water storage supply.

NEW FHS BASKETBALL COACH GARRETT WINEGAR TAKES THE REINS

same way many coaches impacted him.

Formerly the head varsity basketball coach at Warren Central High School, Winegar will aim to improve on the Tigers’ 18-7 record from last season.

Like many Hoosiers, Winegar says basketball played a major role in his upbringing.

Coach Garrett Winegar aims to lead the Tigers to a winning season this year.

Writer / Seth Johnson Photographer / Kerch Creative

Growing up, Garrett Winegar gained a lot of real-world experience from participating in school sports.

“Basketball especially was what I did

growing up, but I played a lot of sports,” he says. “I think you learn a lot of life lessons playing sports growing up, and that was definitely the case for me.”

As the new varsity boys basketball coach at Fishers High School, Winegar will look to impact the lives of student-athletes in the 28 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2021 / atFishers.com

“I have a lot of family down in the Bloomington area,” he says. “I grew up a big IU fan, and that was just what we did growing up was play basketball.”

While attending IU in pursuit of a sports communications degree, Winegar decided to give coaching a try, first at Jackson Creek Middle School and then Bloomington High School South.

“It was about two weeks into that [first]

season, when games hadn’t even started yet, and I remember calling my dad and telling him, ‘I think this is what I want to do,’” Winegar says.

After learning under legendary Indiana basketball coach J.R. Holmes at Bloomington South, Winegar moved on to Warren Central High School to work as an assistant un-der Criss Beyers for three years before serving as the Warriors’ head coach for the 2019-2020 school year.

During his three years under Beyers, Warren Central went 76-6 with one state championship. With Winegar as head coach, the program performed well too.

“We were able to go 18-6, and we were about 20 seconds away from winning the sec-tional,” Winegar says of his time as Warren Central’s head coach. “We just didn’t have a couple things go our way, and we ended up losing to Lawrence North in the sectional final.”

Having lived in Fishers with his wife in recent years, Winegar saw the opening at Fishers High School as a great next step in his career.

“We just love it here - we love everything that it provides,” Winegar says of Fishers.

“We love the school system. We just had our first child in April, so I’ve got a little baby boy who will grow up here. It’s a great place to raise a family.”

In terms of his approach to the game of basketball, Winegar focuses specifically on defense and pace.

“At the high school level, if you can be great defensively, then you’re going to have the opportunity to win a lot of games,” he says.

“We also want to be able to play fast, and I think that plays into our defensive system.”

All in all, Winegar looks to take Tigers varsity basketball to new heights.

Sectional 8 and to make a run at the state championship,” he says. “That’s our goal, and we’re going to make that clear from day one.”
