To our readers: We hope you, your family, friends and colleagues are well and will be well as we all navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. The financial fallout from the proliferation of the virus hasn’t spared a single business we know of, and that includes Current Publishing. In an effort to keep the news flowing, as we like to say and practice, and to keep our workers gainfully employed (not one employee has been “let go”), we have made the decision to publish our April 21 editions virtually. Each community will find its paper in its entirety at youarecurrent.com/ read-online. From there, you may select the community in which you live, open the paper and turn the pages on your computer, tablet or phone. News and information will continue to be posted with rapidity on our website and on our Twitter and Facebook feeds. While you’re reading our virtual edition, you will view advertisements as you do when perusing our print editions, and it is our hope you will support the businesses, some of which have placed hyperlinks in their ads. Simply click links, which will take you directly to their virtual storefronts. Patronize them, please, if you are able. No amount is too small. They and Current are in this battle together, and we want to help them in any way we can.

Holcomb’s executive order defines social distancing standards as maintaining a 6-foot distance between people, marked by tape, signs or some other measure; having hand sanitizer and other sanitizers available; and adhering to the order’s new requirements. Retail businesses also must adjust hours to accommodate vulnerable populations, such as elderly individuals, and limit hours to restock, clean and comply with all state-mitigation measures. According to the new executive order, all retail deemed nonessential will now operate the way bars and restaurants have in recent weeks: They must operate solely by carryout, delivery and online sales – what the order calls “minimum basic operations.” Holcomb’s order also closed all campgrounds. “We had those open with good intentions in mind,” Holcomb said. “It was meant for exercising. We can’t have parking lots full of hundreds of folks taking in our beautiful state parks, so they are now closed.” To help slow the spread of the virus, the state recommends all residents postpone all in-person purchases unless necessary and to use call-in or online deliveries as much as possible.

The Hamilton County Economic Development Corp. is doing its part to provide job opening information for ECONOMY those who have been displaced due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is partnering with Hamilton County Tourism along with OneZone Chamber of Commerce for Fishers and Carmel, and the chambers in Noblesville Sergi and Westfield, who are sharing job opportunities for the job board. “We’re trying to work together to help the situation,” said Carol Sergi, director of workforce strategy for Hamilton County Economy Development. “My job is workforce strategy and I’ve been concentrating on workforce attraction. Obviously, that’s not the issue right now, and we’re really pivoting to work on workforce recovery.” A new job board on the website, investhamiltoncounty.com, was launched in late March. “We’re adding to the jobs every day,” said Sergi, a Fishers resident. Sergi said she reached out to the HR Advisory Council with a survey asking what was happening at their 25 companies, which are different sizes and industries across Hamilton County. The survey asked companies questions such as if they were furloughing employees, moving ahead with hiring and conducting interviewing by phone. “I was surprised that most of them said they were still planning on hiring people, especially being part of the tourism office,” Sergi said. “I hear every day how decimated the hospitality office is and how those workers have been displaced, so we wanted to find a way to connect those two. Whether they are hospitality or not, we wanted to show people are still hiring. “Those jobs range from temporary because of help that is needed at Kroger or Walmart, and even some of the restaurants that are doing delivery need additional delivery people.” Sergi said there are some regular jobs for which companies are still hiring. Most of the jobs are in Hamilton County or the north side of Indianapolis.

Public Works Dept. removes stop signs – The Indiana Dept. of Transportation recently granted approval for the City of Fishers’ Dept. of Public Works to remove stop signs at the railroad crossings throughout Fishers, except for the 131st Street crossing, for the upcoming Nickel Plate Trail. Due to the steep grade of the 131st Street crossing, the removal will come at a later date. “Out of service” signs have been placed, and that removes the requirement for school buses and hazardous material vehicles to stop at the tracks.

Fishers High School graduate Jeremy Chinn was a four-year starter for Southern Illinois. (Submitted photo)

Chinn’s NFL stock keeps rising By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jeremy Chinn’s NFL Draft stock has risen since his career at Southern Illinois ended. The 2016 Fishers High FOOTBALL School graduate, who was lightly recruited out of high school, is rated as the fourth-best safety prospect by ESPN analyst Todd McShay and sixthbest by ESPN analyst Mel Kiper in the April 23-25 NFL Draft. Several mock drafts project Chinn as a second- or third-round pick. The 6-foot-3, 221-pound Chinn was a fouryear starter with 13 career interceptions for Southern Illinois, a Football Championship Subdivision program. After an impressive performance in the Senior Bowl, he made the most of his NFL Combine invite at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, running the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds and having a 41-inch vertical jump and an 11.5-foot broad jump. “It was a great opportunity being down at Lucas Oil, being able to show what I could do athletically,” Chinn said. “For the small-school guys, putting up numbers is huge just so teams will take the time out to look at the film. I was hoping to run a little faster. My 20-yard dash is a little faster. I was hoping to run a low 4.4s, high 4.3s, but I can’t complain

about 4.45. The scouts and teams I’ve talked to have some pretty high grades on me. That’s what I am excited to see from my perspective. “I’m excited to see where it goes and excited to get started with whatever organization I’ll be with.” Chinn showed his versatility playing strong safety and free safety and was an extra cornerback in passing situations. “I have experience at every secondary position,” said Chinn, who was a cornerback and running back at Fishers. “I feel I can make an impact on special teams and on defense. I’m a very versatile defender. I’m excited to get with a defensive coordinator who is able to use me in different ways in his scheme.” Chinn chose Southern Illinois because it was the closest of the three offers he had to home. His other offers were from Colgate in Hamilton, N.Y., and North Dakota, both FCS programs. “It also was the first offer I received,” Chinn said. “It was also a loyalty thing because they were the first school to believe in me. My mom could also come see me play. There was a great opportunity to play right away.” Chinn, who had 71 tackles, including 48 solos, and four interceptions as a senior, was named first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference his final two seasons.

Benefit from this essential movement you, preferably against the wall to prevent sliding. Maintain a long spine through the whole squat. Imagine a string runs all the way from your low back, up your spine, and through the top of your head. First brace your breath. Now, sit your hips back, as though you are shutting a car door with your backside. This should cause your torso to bend forward at the crease of your hips. Be sure to keep your shoulders back and your chest out. Keep your weight over mid-foot and avoid shifting it to your heels. Slowly lower yourself to the chair behind you until you are seated and then exhale. Avoid simply falling into the chair. Raising portion Simply reverse the process. Brace your breath and then, without using your hands, lean forward with a long spine to shift your weight over mid-foot. Stand up by driving through your feet and squeezing the buttocks. Avoid letting your knees cave in. Try to keep your knees pointing in the same direction as your toes. Stand up completely and repeat the three-set process for the 10 reps.

While Staying Home

Depending on your level of fitness, you may not be able to perform a standard squat, but you certainly stand to benefit from the FITNESS movement. The squat is essential for many activities of daily living, like standing from a seated position, getting out of the car or even getting up stairs. The seated squat is easier to perform and will improve both strength and mobility. Perform three sets of 10 reps three days a week to reap the benefits. Bracing The first step to performing a quality squat is simply taking a breath. The purpose of this breath is to brace the abdomen and support the spine. The breath should expand the stomach. Upon inhalation, “lock in” the breath by squeezing your abdominal muscles, as if you are preparing for a blow to the stomach. This creates pressure in your abdomen that will support your spine through the squat and protect the low back. Before you begin the downward or upward motion of the squat, you should use this bracing technique. Only when you have reached the top or bottom of the seated squat should you release the breath hold. Lowering portion Place a low chair or stool 6 to 8 inches behind

Parks department encourages outside activity By Renee Larr news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. encourages all Fishers residents to go outside. THINGS TO DO “We want residents to know it’s still OK to be outside,” parks director Sarah Sandquist said. “We want to encourage residents to get outside, spend time with your family and unplug from everything that is going on.” Fishers parks and trails are open while playgrounds and park buildings are closed. “This is a direct response to the coronavirus,” Sandquist said. “We know the virus can live on hard surfaces for several hours to days, so we decided to close down the playgrounds in an abundance of caution.” Sandquist encourages residents to walk, run or ride bikes during park visits. “We ask residents to walk or bike to a nearby park rather than drive due to the nonessential travel ban in Hamilton County,”

Sandquist said. “We would also ask them to practice social distancing while utilizing the parks and trails.” Each day, an activity is posted on the park’s social media pages. “On the first day of spring, we posted about how to make a rain gauge,” Sandquist said. “The rain gauge could easily be made with everyday items you would already have around the house.” Some activities will be age-group specific and otheres will be for all ages. “There are lots of companies doing great things with technology right now,” Sandquist said. “We’re hoping our activities focus on disconnecting from technology and doing things with arts, crafts and STEM. We want people to get outside and explore their neighborhood.” The parks department is offering ecotherapy ideas such as making paper airplanes, flying a kite and creating a masterpiece with sidewalk chalk.

“This needs to be built as such that students are applying and using any of those content areas, but teachers have to be really intentional how they are teaching skills,” Loser said. “Maybe in an engineering design challenge, math and science skills are involved in that concept, then maybe students present that to community members or stakeholders at the end of the project to bring in persuasive skills for English. Maybe there’s a design brief or written skills. “Students are asked not just to learn that content, but they would actually do something creative and innovative with that problem or challenge that pushes their content learning to a higher level.” Loser said HSE Purdue Polytechnic is not a new high school but is a unique partner-

It really is the first of its kind, and it’s a world-class partnership with the different things we have in here,” said David Decker, founder of Hub & Spoke Institute. “Students can get connected to high-paying, in-demand careers, receive their high school diploma and college credits. We have created an environment that allows kids to come in here and discover those passions. There are all kinds of options, and we are just trying to help kids find out what they’re passionate about and connect them to that successful pathway.” For more, visit hseschools.org/ academics/hse-polytechnic-program.

ACCEPTING STUDENTS There is no additional cost if a student is accepted to attend HSE Polytechnic Program powered by Purdue Polytechnic High School. Seventy-five freshman students will be accepted to the program each year. Applicants must reflect the population represented at HSE and Fishers High School. “The goal is to engage with the underrepresented population, whether that be based on race, gender, those types of things. The makeup of the student body needs to reflect the diverse population of

the Fishers community,” Program Director Steve Loser said. Students also must show they are ready to participate in self-directed learning. “You have to make sure a kid is going to be able to manage their own time,” Loser said. “There will be online or blended learning, and that blended learning means kids might be working on some online courses to meet a world language requirement for the academic or technical honors diploma.”

LETTER

Power of knowledge

Pelosi’s politics hurt Americans

Commentary by Terry Anker The firstborn had recently entered a “transition to kindergarten” program, and while it was more emotional than expected to nudge him alone into the wide world, he seemed to enjoy and benefit from the social interaction with others of his own age. Good, because this was very much the reasoned intention. As an only child, it was sensible to worry that he’d miss that which only peers can teach. As soon became the ritual, each evening meal demanded some report on the happenings of the day. What was learned? Who told a good joke? How was lunch? As is appropriate with a newly minted 4-year-old, details were sparse, but eventually a story or two could be cajoled through intentional and persistent interrogation. To be sure, one could expect the odd account of the art project or time spent in the gym. But the more interesting news would be in the form of quantifiable learning. New words, math concepts and increasing gradations of color could all be adroitly defined. “Do you know what today is?” Imagining it to be some recently conceived holiday absent from our childhoods decades earlier, the answer was, “No, what is it?” The disgruntled scholar responded incredulously, “Well, it is Wednesday!” Thinking from the previous answer that he’d identified a significant gap in adult learning, he proceeded to inform that each day had its own name – and, to tell them. He’d gone from dependent to independent. He’d gone from pupil to professor. He’d gone from consumer to expert. No longer would the days pass unnoted; they would progress in his order from one to the next. Knowledge is power.

Stop the insanity Commentary by Danielle Wilson Uncle! I’m calling uncle. Enough. I thought I could handle the social distancing, the school closures, the quaranHUMOR tine, but I can’t. My perimenopausal self was not made for this madness. Every day here at chez Wilson is a crapshoot, mostly because I don’t know what kind of garbage I’ll have to deal with nor how well I’ll respond (my emotional fuel tank indicator broke on Day 6). Will my husband, Doo, now working from home, sit too close while eating a chicken taco, driving me mad with his loud chewing? Will my oldest pick a fight with his arch-nemesis, his younger K-poppin’ sister, forcing me to mediate between the inane and the stupid? Will her twin brother suck me into yet another depressing diatribe about how much he hates Indiana and longs to be back in the great state of California? Will my 16-year-old decide to bake brownies at

midnight, awaking me from my restless but all too precious slumber? Will we run out of toilet paper? Will someone start coughing? Will I lose my effing mind? Granted, certain weeks are better than others. Depending on my hormone levels, I can be either Little Orphan Annie (“The sun’ll come out tomorrow, kids! We got this!”), or Sweeney Todd (“I will cut every last one of you!”). When I’m feeling positive, I remember to extend grace and appreciate the important things, like employment and good health. But when the Butcher of Fleet Street emerges, it’s passive-aggressive irritability like you’ve never seen. I’m truly a master. So, I call “uncle!” My family and my sanity cannot take this much longer. Peace out.

Editor, Americans are hurting. There is chaos and confusion from the media sweeping our nation while President Trump and his administration work to combat COVID-19. While Americans are coming together to support one another during this pandemic, (U.S. Speaker of the House) Nancy Pelosi and her liberal colleagues were busy holding up much-needed funding for families and businesses. Now is not the time for partisan politics. When our government officials were supposed to be working together to ensure the safety and security of our nation, Pelosi was pushing her own political agenda. As a pro-life candidate endorsed by Indiana Right to Life, I find it unacceptable that Pelosi attempted to work abortion funding into the relief legislation. The amount of sweetheart deals for liberal special interest groups packed into the legislation was almost unfathomable. Almost. We need conservatives in Congress who will fight against Pelosi and her liberal allies. As your next congressman, I’ll do just that. Micah Beckwith, Noblesville, candidate for Congress

Facility fee is hidden health care charge Facility fees are one of the biggest rip-offs the hospital industry has ever come up with, according to Charles B. Inlander, a consumer advocate and health-care consultant based in Fogelsville, Pa. Across the nation, consumers who go to “off-site” urgent-care centers or medical practices (they are not located on a hospital’s campus but are owned by the hospital entity) are being charged facility fees that in some cases are higher than the cost of care that was provided. Sadly, the fees themselves are perfectly legal despite complaints to federal and state regulators and legislators from consumers and even some doctors. The hospital industry defends these “gotcha” charges by saying the patient is receiving better care because the facility has all the hospital’s resources behind it. But in most cases, nothing from the patient’s perspective changed at the urgent-care center or doctor’s office after being bought by the hospital. Now, with off-campus, hospital-owned urgent-care centers and medical practices growing in huge numbers (nearly 50 percent of all doctors are now hospital employed), these facility fees are becoming much more common.

April is for foot health Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Many people believe that only the elderly need to see a podiatrist. Nothing could be further from the truth. We WELLNESS see patients of all ages at our office every day. Whether you are an extreme athlete or an occasional walker, the strain on your feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints, knee pain, low back pain, heel pain, arch pain and other joint and muscle problems. The key to healthy feet is prevention or early detection. If you suffer from foot problems, come in now. If you’re feeling good and want to keep it that way, come in for a checkup. Foot Health Awareness Month is a good time to remember to follow the seven “C’s” for healthier feet: • Check your feet every day for any damage or changes. Look for punctures, cuts, bruises, cracked skin or fungal infections. Use a mirror to see the soles of your feet. • Clean feet every day in warm, soapy water and then dry carefully – especially between the toes. • Calm achy feet and dry skin by smoothing on a rich foot cream or lotion every day. Preventing cracked skin can help protect against bacteria. • Choose supportive, well-made and

properly fitting shoes. Toss shoes and boots that are too tight, too narrow or just plain worn out. Shop later in the day when feet are largest and always have your feet measured each time. Opt for lower-heeled shoes with lots of toe wiggle room. • Combat fungal infections by keeping your feet clean and protected. Use shower shoes or flip-flops when in public areas like pools, showers and salons. • Control your pedicures by vetting out the salon. Make sure that the business adheres to cleanliness and sanitary procedures and that current licenses are posted. • Care for your feet by preventing foot fatigue and maintaining flexibility. You can do it with simple foot, ankle and toe-stretching exercises. You take your car to the shop for regular maintenance. It’s an expensive piece of equipment and you want to make sure it’s running well. Doesn’t your body deserve the same kind of care and attention? You’ll feel good about yourself with every step you take.

Source: AssistedLivingFacilities.org Can you catch coronavirus from surfaces? - With most of the U.S. hunkered down for the near future, an important factor is understanding how exactly COVID-19 could spread inside a home. Like other coronaviruses, it’s known to spread from close person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets, according to the Centers for Disease Con-

trol and Prevention. The CDC’s website says surfaces can be contaminated with COVID-19. The website adds, though, that there are no known cases that started in that manner. Even so, a new study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), CDC, UCLA, and Princeton University scientists found the virus can remain infectious in droplets in the air for hours and surfaces for days. The study in the New England Journal of Medicine also suggests that people may get the virus “after touching contaminated objects.” Source: Foxnews.com Athletico Physical Therapy expands telehealth offerings – Athletico Physical Therapy has expanded its offerings to include telehealth services for physical and occupational therapy to meet the evolving needs of patients and communities affected by COVID-19.

Fishers Arts Council launches lecture series

CSO shares love of music on Facebook

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

As a new Fishers Arts Council board member, Olivia Holt determined quickly there was a need for information ART for area artists to become entrepreneurs. With the support of partnerships with Nickel Plate Arts, Ignite Studio and Hamilton County Tourism, Holt and the Fishers Arts Council have helped shape a four-part lecture series. After surveying artists and community members for six months, Holt discovered artists wanted marketing help, community connections and information on getting into galleries. Holt, a 2011 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate and mixed media artist, graduated with a degree in fine arts from Ball State in 2016. She joined the Fishers Arts Council in October 2018. “I like that we have the ability to make this program very flexible for artists and community members to learn,” said Holt, who now lives in Broad Ripple. “This year we are focusing on four specific topics: marketing, galleries, exhibiting and local success stories. The topics were selected based on community feedback. Artists told us what they wanted to learn, and we responded. As we receive more feedback from artists, we will be able to update the programming to include new future topics.” The series is intended to help artists with their business, community and professional skills. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the first session, and possibly others, will be offered online. Although intended for artists, the series is open to the public. Registration is required. The series is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the following four Thursdays: Marketing for Artists — Skill Building, April 23; Inside the Gallery World — Be in the Know, June 25; Exhibiting Artists — Learn the How, Aug. 20; and Hoosier Success Stories — Be Inspired, Oct. 22. Ignite will host sessions if it is able to be open for any of the final three. “Our panelists will have the opportunity to speak individually before we transition into a Q&A panel style,” Holt said. “After the

Carmel Symphony Orchestra Music Director Janna Hymes wants to keep the music alive during the coronaGIVING BACK virus pandemic. “Some of our musicians are making videos and these are appearing on our Facebook page,” Hymes said of the Music Heals, Music Unites, Music Brings People Together program. “It’s a great diversion and gives our musicians a chance to express themselves.” “Let the Music Play ... Getting to Know YOUR CSO” was scheduled to debut April 11 on the CSO Facebook page. A second edition will be presented at 7:30 p.m. April 18, and that likely will continue on more Saturday nights during the spring. “We’ll have interviews and snippets of different musicians just talking or playing,” Hymes said. “It’s a way of getting to know your orchestra in a way you didn’t get to before.” Hymes said musicians might talk about interests and life experiences. “They are 80 different people and they all have different stories and we’re going to be telling those stories and interweave it with concert video,” Hymes said. Hymes said the CSO was building good momentum when the final two concerts were canceled due to the pandemic. “We’re trying to keep the work going, so we are rescheduling concerts, putting the finishing touches on the 2020-21 season and will announce sometime this spring with the hope we can go full force in October,” Hymes said. “The Journey into Jazz” concert with Edgar Meyer was originally scheduled for March 14 and was postponed the day before because of gathering limits. It was postponed again until May 30, but Hymes said it will now be held as part of the 2020-21 season, likely a January date. “The Passport to Prague” concert, scheduled for April 18, has been canceled. But other concerts and events will be added, Hymes said. “It’s a real hard time for some of our musicians. They go from gig to gig, so we feel for them,” Hymes said.

moderator’s questions, the participants will be able to ask questions via the online Webinar and in person once social distancing is lifted. We will have different presenters for each session. Our first two panels have marketing experts and art gallery owners. Our final two panels will feature artists from various disciplines living in Fishers and surrounding areas.” Holt said the Fishers Arts Council is thankful to have other organizations within the community to collaborate with and provide different art opportunities and education. “Nickel Plate Arts reached out to us and other local groups who already had

programs in mind for this year,” Holt said. “NPA pulled us together for a 2020 season of professional development programming, with Hamilton County Tourism supporting us all through countywide promotion. Conner Prairie and the Da Vinci Pursuit, along with the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, help round out the programming. “With all of these groups supporting each other and promoting the other’s programs, this aids in our reach to the community at large. We are hopeful when social distancing restrictions are lifted, everyone’s programming can come back.” For more and to register, visit fishersartscouncil.org.

CARRYOUT EDITION The bacon chicken quesadilla is a flour tortilla filled with chicken, diced bacon, fresh Roma tomatoes and mixed cheeses, topped with pico de gallo and sour cream. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Loren & Mari Mexican Grill

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2293 E. 116th St., Carmel What to get: Bacon chicken quesadilla Price: $10.50 Anna’s take: One of my Facebook friends recently asked in a post what we miss most during the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, it’s

visiting Mexican restaurants and gorging on unlimited chips and salsa. It’s not the same with carryout, but you can still order some of your favorite dishes. Visit Loren & Mari in Carmel and try any of their quesadillas. I ordered the bacon chicken quesadilla, which is a flour tortilla filled with chicken, diced bacon, fresh Roma tomatoes and mixed cheeses, served with pico de gallo and sour cream. Delicious. Suggested pairings: I ordered the Jalisco Mule, which is tequila, lime juice and ginger beer. It’s something you can easily make at home. A margarita also would pair well.
