The state has received and distributed more than 375,000 PPE items and expects to receive more than 150,000 items this week, with deliveries daily. Besides facilitating patient care, state officials are trying to mitigate the economic fallout from the stay-at-home order. From July 2019 to February 2020, state revenues were $100 million more than estimated, but state officials reported the social-distancing measures cut those figures to $33 million more than estimated through March, a $67 million tumble in only a month. State officials said they expect the pandemic to continue to stifle revenues during this month through June. They announced the state has started dipping into its nearly $2.3 billion in reserves as a result. The federal government has passed a number of bills to help states, businesses and citizens. One, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, is expected to funnel $10.6 million to Indiana. Another, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, a $2.2 trillion stimulus package, is expected to provide more than $3 billion for state needs. Holcomb announced the creation of the Indiana Economic Relief and Recovery Team to plan, administer and account for federal relief funds the state receives from the coronavirus relief bill. Office of Management and Budget Director Cris Johnston and Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger will chair the team. The committee will work to allocate funds to help those affected by the pandemic. Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne reported 133,639 Indiana residents filed initial unemployment claims in the week ending April 4, the second-most in state history. The previous week, the state reported 139,174 Indiana residents filed initial unemployment claims, the most ever reported in a one-week span.

COMMUNITY NATIONAL GUARD, ASCENSION ST. VINCENT CONDUCT TRAINING

Indiana National Guard soldiers and Ascension St. Vincent medical professionals conducted training rehearsals at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital April 9 to develop interagency pandemic responses. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, Ascension St. Vincent and the Indiana National Guard worked together to create standard operating procedures using military resources for transporting stable patients requiring minimal care to nearby medical facilities. The training helped create a plan to prevent exhaustion of a hospital’s resources in the event of a patient surge and is expected to become a model for similar trainings across the state.

Triton Brewing is open for carryout. Brewer Jon Lang, left, and Director David Waldman.

BUILDING A BODEGA By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Triton Brewing Co. Director and co-founder David Waldman COVER STORY acknowledges he never planned for the brewery to become a grocery. But when Eddie Sahm of Sahm’s Restaurant held a meeting with independent restaurant proprietors and provided the option, Waldman thought it wasn’t a bad idea. “One option would be for (restaurants) to be a bodega (a small grocery),” Waldman said. “At that time, the grocery stores had a hard time restocking, and the food and supplies we bring in comes through the restaurant network versus the grocery network, so it’s a different supply chain. “There was a lot of food just sitting and not getting out to anywhere because restaurants who are generally using those foods weren’t ordering or were closing up shop.” Restaurant distributors were looking for places to sell their fresh produce, so when

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order was issued in March, Triton Brewery spent several days putting systems in place for the bodega. After four weeks of operating the bodega, Waldman is learning that produce that’s in stock one week may not be the next. “Last week, we had trouble getting mixed greens, but this week there’s an abundance of mixed greens but some of the proteins are harder to get,” he said. “We are not grocers. We are really brewers and, I guess, chefs. That’s what we do.” Generally, Triton Brewing sells ground beef, ground turkey, sliced deli meats, some starches, three different kinds of bread, dry noodles, canned goods and items for kids’ lunches, such as applesauce. Other items, however, aren’t cost-efficient for restaurants to sell. “As people reach out to us, we are doing our part to try to bring in what they need, but we can’t do milk effectively because our cost on milk is around $4 a gallon, and you can go to Aldi all day long and buy it for $2, and it doesn’t make sense,” Waldman

Triton Brewery becomes small grocery during COVID-19 pandemic

said. “People think I’m price gouging them but that’s with no margin. The challenge is there’s almost no margin on the grocery items, and that’s not what we are designed to do. I’ve designed a business plan and managed the money, and this is not going to get us to mid-June. It’s a challenge and it won’t be enough, but in the meantime, it’ll be something for our community. Maybe with a combination of things we can make it to the other side. “I think all business owners in our predicament are feeling fairly the same way right now, so we’ll just keep fighting and hope to put the right combination of things together to be still functioning on other side of this.”

Waldman said although the brewery is doing its best, it can’t compete with a grocery store, but that’s not his objective. “Our goal is for people who don’t want to go to the grocery, they can order online, pull up outside and pick up the materials without having to be close to anybody,” Waldman said. “A lot of it is about the safety of our staff, to keep everybody safe and continue to work through this and minimize the contact we have with our patrons, as much as that hurts us because that’s our bread and butter.” For more or to order from the bodega, brewery or bistro, visit tritonbrewing.com.

PREPARING TO BE A BODEGA Although Triton Brewing ownership never planned to sell groceries, it wasn’t too difficult to outfit the brewery for such a purpose. “As a brewery, we have a bunch of walk-in coolers, and everything is stored at 37 degrees or colder,” Director and

co-founder David Waldman said. “Since we manage a restaurant, we are really good at rotating stock. Even though we are new to the grocery business, we are not new to food handling by any stretch of the imagination, so we use all the safety guidelines.”

ESSAY

LETTER

How much is too much?

Elect Steve Dillinger

Commentary by Terry Anker “Let’s not throw it away, it might come in handy later.” One can hardly argue the veracity of the truism. We are rarely effective predictors of the future. What might become valuable, exceedingly valuable, down the road a bit is impossible to know. Many of us imagined the few rolls of Charmin under the sink would last until our next run to the grocery. In a world of shortages, panic and supply chain interruptions, our stockpile of Taco Bell napkins was an unattractive, if effective, backup plan. So, what is it that separates us from the hoarding masses, swimming in their stashes, certain to last long beyond their remaining years on this big, blue planet? Cleaning out the ubiquitous kitchen junk drawer during our recent self-isolation, the effort produced a surprising, if not imposing, count of ink pens. They represented all sort and manner of life milestones — bank pens, hospital pens, the pens of various organizations, hotel pens and an abundance of those lost to the failing memory of history. Sure, they tell a story, but don’t they also point to our need to hang on to objects long after their effective purpose is extinguished? The cumulative collection of pens held more ink than an average human could use in one lifetime, or two. One could rightly suppose that the pens will pass to heirs, if such a thing as an ink pen is still useful to them. Even now, are the instruments much more than an amusing novelty, nostalgic for the way we used to communicate? Our lives are burdened with countless examples of our reservation of goods for a “rainy day” – not thinking that we’ve stored enough to outlast Noah’s flood. Having a spare or two gives comfort, but what is the point of holding three lifetime supplies? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Seeing red with lockdown blues Commentary by Danielle Wilson So, how is everybody? Are you hanging in there? Enjoying some downtime? Seizing the day? Personally, I’m losing HUMOR my mind and am not really sure how much longer I can take it. I came close to snapping the other day in Meijer, where the once-again empty aisle of paper products reminded me we’re living in Bizarro World. Luckily, I managed to pull it together before getting to produce, but clearly I’m only one “We’re out of eggs, too” announcement from a full-on breakdown. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened yet. I mean, teaching online from home is horrible. I miss my students and my karaoke-singing colleagues, not to mention the simple routine of waking up and putting on eye makeup. And trying to manage four older kids who don’t have jobs, can’t see their friends and are supposed to be nice is nearly impossible, as is ignoring the sheer amount of mess and noise they create. Plus,

my husband, Doo, an extrovert, is constantly wanting to talk to me and sit next to me and generally engage with me when all I want to do is read “Harry Potter” or bingewatch “Community.” Alone. Even the house project I started is conspiring to drive me mad. While applying a third coat of white paint to our hideous orange pine banister, I realized that the second can is slightly grayer than the first, making the railings appear perpetually dirty. Why? They are the same! Maybe I just need to get on with it. I think I’ll head to Meijer for some toilet paper and a good cry. Hopefully, you’re doing better than me. Peace out.

Maybe I just need to get on with it. I think I’ll head to Meijer for some toilet paper and a good cry.

Editor, I have known Steve Dillinger since the sixth grade. He was my Noblesville Grinder football coach. He instilled in me the value of hard work, humility, teamwork, faith, honor and coming together for a common cause. Since those early years, I have always kept in touch with him. In my late 20s, we became friends, and I went on several fishing trips with him. Decades later, he still continues to be a strong leader for our community in so many ways. I admire the work Steve Dillinger has accomplished while in office. He has been someone who has made my city a great place to grow up and raise a family. Steve Dillinger will always put Hamilton County first and look out for the taxpayers. His commitment to the people of Hamilton County has been unwavering and I am honored to call him my friend, coach and Hamilton County commissioner. Please join me in voting for Steve Dillinger for Hamilton County commissioner. Mike Davis, Noblesville city councilor

PATTERN marks 10th year with new initiative By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Polina Osherov co-founded PATTERN with an eye on the fashion industry. Her vision keeps expanding as the NONPROFIT nonprofit celebrates its 10th anniversary. “Originally, it was very much focused on the fashion industry, and over the last five or six years it evolved to be more broad to include the entire creative class, not just fashion designers, but photographers, models, graphic designers, content creators, videographers, illustrators and folks like that,” said the Carmel resident, PATTERN’s executive director. “The key thing is we’ve built a pretty incredible place for fashion lovers and creatives in the city.” Fittingly, Osherov founded StitchWorks, an industrial sewing certificate program, with the help of a recent $30,000 grant from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation. A StitchWorks open house scheduled for March 19 had to be canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. StitchWorks has been pressed into action with the need for medical supplies. Eskanazi Hospital commissioned StitchWorks to create isolation gowns, with a goal of producing 2,500. Approximately 1,000 have been completed as of April 13. Some of the masks are being donated, while others are available for purchase. The sewers who are making masks are volunteers, while those making gowns are being paid. StitchWorks is looking for more sewers. For more information, visit stitchworksindy.com/covid-19. “StitchWorks was created in response to the ever-changing retail environment, which favors small designers and retailers less and less, thanks to offshoring and its byproduct, fast fashion,” Osherov said. “Not only has the fast-fashion movement been detrimental to the environment, but it has also meant a decrease in people with the skills to sew. The movement of apparel production overseas has meant national job losses and the impending death of the craft. Small, local designers are affected most by the fast-fashion movement.”

CIAF plans Art Heals Project By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The nonprofit produces PATTERN magazine twice a year. “The magazine is not there to sell fashion but to tell stories of our creative community, but with a fashion aesthetic,” Osherov said. “It looks like a fashion magazine because we have a lot of beautiful fashion photography. You’re not going to find a lot of stuff like, ‘Go buy this or wear that.’ The magazine is a small part of what we do.” Osherov said PATTERN has mentored more than 75 college students as part of its internship and mentoring programs. There is a fellowship program between college and a first job where graduates can gain more experience. “They get very hands-on with all of these things,” she said. “A lot of time it’s

sink or swim.” Within the past decade, PATTERN has organized more than 90 events, including annual programs like St’Artup 317 and the SUPPLY trade show, which is tentatively set for Aug. 15. “St’Artup 317 is an initiative we have with Indy Chamber. It’s part of the City of Indianapolis’ retail strategy of trying to fill up all of those empty storefronts we have around town,” Osherov said. “The challenge is that overall retail is not doing that great. What we do have is a lot of small business owners and artists who love the opportunity to show their work.” St’Artup 317 is traditionally in May but is subject to change because of the pandemic. For more, visit patternindy.com.

Carmel International Arts Festival is doing its part to provide a pleasant distraction during the coronavirus GIVING BACK pandemic. CIAF plans a quarantine artwork show, “The Art Heals Project,” which is open to all ages. “It’s something I had thought about. Our social media person had posted something about how art Ferry heals and that made me think about how the Carmel International Arts Festival could do something during the pandemic to help people cope with what is happening,” CIAF Executive Director Rachel Ferry said. She shared the idea of a quarantine art show with the CIAF’s executive officers. “We thought it would be a good idea to provide a place where people can display their artwork they create during the pandemic,” Ferry said. “We’re going to challenge people to pick up a paint brush, or a sketch pencil or camera, and create because we know art can help heal people’s feelings. We just feel this a great avenue to do that.” Ferry said there will be a special tent to display the artwork during the festival, set for Sept. 26-27. The artwork should be delivered to the project booth between 6 and 9 p.m. Sept. 25. Individuals must provide an easel or means to hang or display art. “People who attend the festival will have a chance to go look at it,” Ferry said. “We’re not looking for professional artists, but anyone is welcome to do it. This artwork will not be for sale during the festival. We don’t want to take away from what our artists are providing that weekend. The names are going to be on the back of the artwork. We’re encouraging paintings, etchings, drawings, photography, whatever someone is creating during the time.” During Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order, entrants should take a picture with their artwork and post on social media with the hashtag of #ArtHealsProject.

CARRYOUT EDITION From left, Thai coconut shrimp soup, edamame and Green Flash Sushi Roll. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2295 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville  What to get: Green Flash Sushi Roll Price: $14.95 Anna’s take: I’m a big fan of sushi and other Asian dishes, so I have frequented Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen several

times during the pandemic. It has a convenient drive-thru window. I am a big fan of the small Thai shrimp coconut soup ($4.95). It also comes in a chicken option. Edamame ($3.95) is always a staple for me. It’s just as delicious eaten from a carryout container. The last time I visited Kobayashi, I tried the Green Flash Sushi Roll. If you don’t like sushi, Kobayashi has lots of other Asian dishes. But if you are a sushi fan, I suggest the Green Flash roll. It has cooked shrimp, avocado, cilantro, scallops and teriyaki sauce and is torched.

DISPATCHES Great American Songbook Foundation hosts chat — The Great American Songbook Foundation recently hosted a Zoom chat for more than 30 2019 Songbook Academy alums, so that staff members and founder Michael Feinstein could offer support and create an outlet for much-needed social engagement during the isolating time for young artists due to the coronavirus pandemic. Songbook Academy, a program of the Great American Songbook Foundation, is a national music intensive conducted every summer at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The impact lasts much longer than one week as alumni, staff and mentors stay connected year-round. Especially now, the connections and friendships made possible by the program continue to inspire and create a sense of belonging, according to Songbook Foundation officials. Songbook Academy alums also are taking part in the Instagram challenge #SongbookMyWay by submitting covers of Songbook standards. Indiana Humanities hosts premieres on Facebook — The nonprofit cultural organization Indiana Humanities is showcasing its new INseparable Films series, commissioned by Indiana filmmakers to explore the Hoosier experience along urban, suburban and rural divides. After each Facebook premiere, the films will be available for streaming on INseparableFilms. org. Weekly Facebook premiere parties will feature Q&As, further insight into the films’ characters, discussion of the films’ ideas and more. Upcoming Facebook premieres are: 7 p.m. April 21, “The Earthkeepers” (Bloomington), and 7 p.m. April 28, “Raised in Contrast” (Lebanon).

Blueprint for Improvement: Handsome home office in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

• Beautiful cherry cabinetry stained with black highlights is now the star of the room. The bookshelves, desk and cabinetry are set in a U-shape for comfort and convenience. • Architectural ceiling beams and cherry wood paneling on the walls are stained to match the cabinetry. Gold wall scones add sophistication and style. • The back wall now features a dry bar, with a wine refrigerator and built-in wine glass holder. • The updated geographic cream-print wool carpet makes the space feel bigger and brighter.

THE CHALLENGE Built in 1992, this Carmel home is in the Valley Brook neighborhood. Like many homes built during the ‘90s, the home office is just inside the front door and is quite visible to guests. It serves as both workspace and relaxation space, with a desk and TV. The homeowners wanted to spruce up the room with modern finishes and create more storage space.
