State increases testing By Jarred Meeks • jarred@youarecurrent.com Last week, state officials announced a $17.9 million partnership with a health services provider to increase testing and contact tracing for COVID-19. State officials said OptumServe Federal PANDEMIC Health Services will open 20 sites across Indiana within seven days to begin large-scale testing of symptomatic Hoosiers. Testing sites were set to open in Indiana National Guard armories, and an additional 30 testing sites were scheduled to open within 14 days, totaling 50 testing sites. Each site will be open for at least eight hours per day, Monday through Friday. Holcomb Testing will be by appointment only, and registration will open 48 hours before testing sites are operational. In the first 30 days, state officials expect 100,000 Hoosiers will be tested, giving them what they hope will be a more accurate gauge of the spread of the new coronavirus in Indiana. An estimated 4,400 more residents will be tested every day in the partnership’s first week, and when all 50 states reopen their economies, as many as 6,600 more Indiana residents can be tested per day, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. Free testing will be available for any symptomatic resident, close contacts of positive cases and residents of congregate-living settings. People with private health insurance are encouraged to bring their health care information when they are tested. Gov. Eric Holcomb said any decisions to extend additional testing will be determined on a monthly basis. Indiana is the second state to use OptumServe testing. California was the first. Indiana health officials now encourage any Indiana resident who has COVID-19-related symptoms to be tested. Previously, testing was reserved for essential workers and vulnerable populations because of a lack in either testing capabilities or resources. “As much as we have done in the last couple of months, we have a lot more to do,” Holcomb said during an April 29 virtual press briefing. On April 16, President Donald Trump and his coronavirus task force proposed guidelines for states to reopen their economies, which includes three phases, each marked by 14 days of declining positive COVID-19 cases. Holcomb said he planned to announce updates to his stay-at-home executive order on May 1, but as of press time, he hadn’t indicated whether his announcement would include loosening restrictions. Previously, Holcomb said Indiana plans to monitor positive case numbers daily to track its progress toward meeting White House’s guidelines, partially through continued efforts to increase testing and building on its contact-tracing program with the help of county health departments. Holcomb has repeatedly said the number of cases and “facts on the ground” will guide his decision-making, as will input from businesses across the state. As of April 29, 964 Hoosiers had died of COVID-19. On the state’s online dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov, officials plan to list presumptive positive deaths separately and not add them to the current cumulative COVID-19 death total. As of April 29, the state had reported 101 presumptive positive COVID-19 deaths; 91,550 tests have been reported to the ISDH; and more than 17,000 Indiana residents had been diagnosed with the disease.

To our valued readers: We hope you are well and will continue to be well. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have negative a impact on businesses across the nation and around the world. Current Publishing is in that group. Difficult decisions continue to be made by ownership and the boards of directors, some hour by hour, and it still is with unyielding earnestness, empathy and respect that we inform you of important measures we have undertaken to secure the long-term viability of Current in Fishers. What began with the editions of April 7 and is expected to last up to and including the editions of June 30, Current will divide its total circulation to Fishers by approximately 25 percent. That is, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail, and a supply of the editions will be made available at locations each week, including: • MashCraft Brewing: 11069 Allisonville Rd., Fishers. Hours of operation are 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon to 8 p.m. Friday through Saturday. Phone number is 317-863-5165. • Porter Books and Bread: 5719 Lawton Loop E. Dr, Lawrence. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Phone number is 317-388-5046. • St. Yared Ethiopian Cuisine: 11210 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant is closed Monday. Phone number is 317-363-4435 In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online will not change. Again, as of this writing, this still is an interim measure until we can gain more clarity as the pandemic restrictions fade. Would you please support us and our advertisers as we continue to be the source for hyper-local news? Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

A lifelong volunteer and small business owner, Republican Lyneen Burrow said she is a proven leader and hopes ELECTION to fill one of three at-large seats on the Hamilton County Council, “I come in with a fresh perspective, a loyalty to the people of this county and a passion for service,” Burrow said. “It won’t be business as usual.” Top among her priorities is providing access to safe, healthy food for all children in Hamilton County. She said she plans to work with food banks and schools to achieve this. Burrow Burrow said she also plans to provide access to affordable housing options that are safe and clean for senior citizens, veterans and the underserved as well as development of more mental health facilities for drug and alcohol addiction. In 2007, Burrow opened Always In Stitches, a sewing shop in Noblesville, that has hosted various charity events and employs more than 20 people. Burrow, a Westfield resident, has spent several years in the community giving back. She has served on the Hamilton East Public Library Board and has been involved with Hamilton County 4-H, where she is a member of the Hamilton County Purdue Extension board. She has also volunteered at Conner Prairie and in several school districts and churches. She is a member of the Westfield Summit Lawn Cemetery Board. “In the many ways I’ve served, I’ve written bylaws, began programs, delegated people, organized and administered people to do their jobs more efficiently,” she said. “I lead with my heart and listen to ideas, then make my decisions. I don’t want to sit and preach. I want to get out and listen. I have experience leading people, making money, successfully finding solutions and conflict resolution. At the end of the day God is in control, but I hope to show his light in whatever way I can.” Burrow graduated from Westfield High School in 1976. She has been married to Bret since 1982. They have two daughters, Liz Munson and Alyson Bray, and three grandchildren, Ben, 11, Libby, 9, and Zeke, 8.

Democrat vies for council seat By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Gardiner Bink wants to see change. The lone Democrat seeking a seat on the Hamilton County Council, ELECTION Bink said he believes Hamilton County government has been run by one party for too long. “I think the residents of Hamilton County are ready to have a different perspective on who is ready to represent them and push the important issues causing much greater dialogue than what we have been getting,” Bink said. “I am going to bring a different perspective to the council, bring greater transparency and Bink insight into the operations and agreements in the council.” The recent coronavirus pandemic has helped shape part of Bink’s campaign. He said he hopes to help the county and its residents recover. “I want to make sure that our county is prepared to not simply fight but to also recover from the current epidemic,” he said. “Once we are safely through it, I plan to make a large push to further improving our defenses and responses to fighting future epidemics with much greater agility and providing our first responders, as well as our medical staff, with the proper needs to handle these situations.” Bink graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School in 2009 and from Xavier University in 2013 with a degree in business administration. While at Xavier, he majored in finance and entrepreneurial studies and received a Credentials of Readiness certificate from Harvard Business School Online, where he studied business analytics, economics for managers and financial accounting. He has worked in accounting and as a business consultant but now is a children’s author. Bink is married to Tara, and they have a 2-year-old son, Gardiner IV. Bink will not face a challenger in the June 2 primary election, but will face the Republican nominee in November. To learn more about Bink and his campaign, visit votebink.com.

Help flatten the curve Commentary by Doug Puckett The last few weeks have tested our IU Health team, our health care colleagues across the region and our PANDEMIC communities in ways we never imagined. Pandemics are a common topic in the disaster drills we do to prepare for the worst, but it would be hard to say that any drill could have created a reliable playbook for us to follow as we face COVID-19. Through it all, I’ve witnessed bravery, resolve, creative problem solving and generosity in doses that can’t be measured. Our teams feel the care and concern our communities have for them as they do the difficult work of caring for all of our patients, including those diagnosed with this virus. We understand and share the growing restlessness of being isolated from work and friends. And we understand the legitimate fears about economic harm caused by shutting down so much of our economy to combat the spread of this new coronavirus. As frustrating as it feels, the best thing we can do for the health

of our families, our communities and our economy is to persevere in keeping our distance from each other a little longer. This is a time that calls for unity around the concept of a shared societal outcome through our collective actions. It will be well worth it. So, what can you help do besides continuing to stay home, maintain social distancing, practice good hand washing and avoid touching your face (it’s tough, I know!)? If you do nothing but those things, believe me, it matters to our team of front-line caregivers. Every infection prevented is a win. For people wanting to donate supplies, or prepackaged meals or snacks, please visit iuhealth.org/donate-covid-19. For folks wanting to send messages of support for our team, we thank you and encourage you to share that goodwill on social media and tag our hospitals. We’ll make sure we “like” and “share” so that our team members get your touch-free message. If you want to learn more about COVID-19 and connect to great online resources from IU Health, including the vir-

tual care team, please visit iuhealth.org/ coronavirus. Let me leave you with one last thought: In time, as we reflect on these moments and evaluate what we learned, I hope we emerge with a greater understanding and appreciation of how connected we all are. For better or worse, the actions I take today can impact someone I’ve never met tomorrow. Please continue to do your part to “flatten the curve.” Please continue to have first responders and health care workers — all of them, from nurses to housekeepers to physicians to respiratory therapists and everyone in between — in your prayers. And please, remember that we’re #INthistogether.

Recently, many of us have had to get used to working from home. While we all love spending time with our children, it can be difficult managing time with work as well as our little ones. Here are some tips on making it work.

Establish a daily routine Make a sign for your workspace Arts & Crafts Create a scavenger hunt Have lunch outside Exercise Encourage independent play

National Nurses Week set for May 6-12

Tammi Knight

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Nurses around the nation will be recognized by their places of employment, friends and family as National Nurses Week is set for May 6 through May 12. Locally, IU Health Saxony nurses largely will do their celebrating while in the hospital. Current Publishing conducted a Q&A with two IU Health Saxony nurses – Tammi Knight, a nurse for short-stay cardiac patients, and April Knight, who is a nurse for pre- and post-anesthesia care. The two nurses are of no relations. Tammi Knight is an Indianapolis resident, and April Knight is a Greenfield resident.

What is your nursing background?

Tammi Knight: I have been a nurse for 28 years this May. I first got my associate’s degree in nursing in 1992, and then I went back to school in 2013 and got my bachelor of nursing and then in 2019, I recently graduated with a master’s in nursing leadership and management. The first two are from IU, and the master’s is from WGU. April Knight: I’ve been a nurse for 13 years. I graduated from IU in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I started my nursing career at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. I’ve always wanted to explore the option of travel nursing ever since I knew I wanted to become a nurse, and the experience I got from Methodist really helped prepare me for that. I did do travel nursing for a year and then I hired back with IU Health and helped open IU Saxony in 2011.

Why did you want to be a nurse?

Tammi Knight: I feel like I am naturally drawn to nursing just because I feel like I’m a nurturer. I really enjoy caring for and caring about people. For me, I was naturally drawn to this because I also wanted to be part of a profession that was respected and trusted, and I feel like

it’s very rewarding. Since I got into nursing, I really enjoy the connection with people and learning more about their story and trying to build a good connection with them. April Knight: Back when I was in high school and trying to find my first job, my parents worked in health care and suggested maybe I would like to become a certified nurse aid. The thought of helping others sounded good, so I signed up for training and became a CNA at a hospital near me. Taking care of others was very natural. It’s very hard work physically and emotionally, but it also is very rewarding. From there on, I knew I wanted to go to nursing school and become a registered nurse.

What is the biggest challenge in nursing?

Tammi Knight: Over the years, the biggest challenge

“For me, I was naturally drawn to this because I also wanted to be part of a profession that was respected and trusted, and I feel like it’s very rewarding.”

Tammi Knight

April Knight I think for me is health care has changed, and we have been asked to evolve with that. Some changes are good but some are not so good, and I feel like with education, that’s helped me overcome any challenges I’ve been faced with. It’s definitely new procedures, new ways of doing nursing care, new leadership style. I think nursing is ever changing, and I think that’s the biggest challenge April Knight: It is very challenging to keep up with all the changes in health care. I think it’s challenging to just go through some of your work days with everything that’s different that happens. Sometimes you can be taking care of patients in very difficult emotional situations, and then you’re expected to be able to go to the next room and put on a happy face and care for them and give them just as good of care even though you’re kind of struggling with what you had to do in the other room. It’s juggling your patient load, and it can be very exhausting, but I think nurses are very good at scheduling their emotions and being able to hang in there with all the different situations they’re put in.

What are you doing for National Nurses Week? Both Tammi Knight and April Knight are part of the group at IU Health Saxony that plans National Nurses Week. They have special events planned during the week for the nurses at all the facilities, including cake and punch, drawings for prizes and more. Personally, Tammi Knight’s family recognizes her each year. “My sister usually sends me flowers every Nurses’ Day ever since I’ve gotten my license,” she said. “That’s always something special and personal my family helps me celebrate with.” April Knight said her unit is often pampered by the hospital. “There are nurses that will get cards and flowers from their family members, which is nice,” she said.

LETTER

Control reset

Elect Nation to council

Commentary by Terry Anker Working remotely brings with it a number of tangible and intangible benefits. The boss can’t walk by and see the fantasy football planner on our computer screen. We get to take coffee breaks with people that we, not HR, picked. And, nobody steals our lunch from the company refrigerator. Yet, like all things, with the apparent benefits come some measurable downsides. We have to buy our own K-cups. We have to clean our own bathrooms. Even more painful, we are dependent on the gods of the internet, and IT support is us. Folks are all too eager to control our choices. With each “upgrade” to many software applications, programmers “helpfully” reset our devices to the “preferred” defaults. Sure, we’d like them to send us as much junk mail as possible. It is already difficult to get through a telephone call with an essential client saying they’ve decided to wait on their order “until this is all over – maybe spring of 2021” while our 4 year-old is asking us to replace the batteries in her favorite toy. Now, we are getting “important” text updates from the retailer where we bought novelty Fourth of July socks in 2018. It is good that they are washing their hands before packing their discounted Baby Yoda hosiery, but is it really an urgent update? Who gets to set, or reset, our settings? By using the phone, computer, internet provider or social media platform, did we really agree to surrender all freedom? Is it a natural consequence of humanity that our desire to regulate others increases even as we are feeling more powerless ourselves? Plus, the various application authorities are often in conflict, each demanding priority command over us, causing the whole system to lock-up. Do they have resetting control, or can we reasonably demand our own independent license?

Misery loves (family) company Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve been doing a ton of self-reflecting lately, mostly to figure out why I can’t embrace the misery and love my HUMOR family. Other people seem to be doing it. Why can’t I? This introspection has prompted several trips down memory lane, the longest of which was to another godforsaken time in my life when I was a stay-at-home mom with four children under 5. Talk about being miserable. Minimal adult interaction, debilitating boredom (“No. More. Polly Pockets!”) broken only by short bursts of crisis management (“Whose blood is this?”) and pure jealousy that my husband, Doo, got to leave the house each morning to do important, grown-up things. Then it hit me. I’ve been writing this column for 13 years. Thirteen! I started as a way to cope with my “domestic role,” to vent my fears and frustrations about parenting and marriage. Also because some really funny shtick happens in a house full

of rugrats that simply had to be shared. Ever witness a toddler poo fight? Classic. Though I’m now a working mom of mostly adult kids, this column has remained a weekly ritual that allows me to analyze and purge the emotions I bottle up (because big girls don’t cry!). Rage, bitterness, the overwhelming desire to judge other women -- I have an outlet to express myself and hopefully connect with like-minded people (I know you’re there!) This column is therapy -- so much so that I still look forward to sitting down and writing. It gives me perspective on “the misery” and reminds me that I do, in fact, love my family, even though I constantly want to off them. Peace out.

Editor, There are few people more well-suited to the Hamilton County Council than Steve Nation. I feel lucky to consider him a friend, and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on projects like the Career Center. Thanks to Steve Nation’s tremendous commitment to Hamilton County, many residents are safer and have the resources they need to meet their highest potential. Steve also was the driving force behind establishing our county’s Youth Assistance Programs and victim assistance in cases like domestic violence and child abuse. His efforts in this arena have been recognized internationally, and he was even awarded Person of the Year by the International Association of Truancy and Dropout Prevention and was awarded the prestigious Sagamore of the Wabash Award, presented by Gov. Eric Holcomb. Especially in times like these, it is critical to have leadership that is prepared for any scenario. I know Steve Nation has the skills necessary to tackle diverse problems like budget discrepancies, reviewing conflicts and county resource funding. We would be well-positioned with him on the county council. Ken Alexander, Westfield

Do your part Editor, A month or two past, one of your readers wrote in about global warming, and I think it warrants a response. Saying global warming is a natural cycle that humans shouldn’t do anything about is akin to saying that fires happen naturally and we shouldn’t actively do what we can to put them out or prevent them. Yes, the earth has undergone

cycles of warming and cooling since its formation, but it is undeniable that human activity (driving cars, flying airplanes and raising livestock, to name some of the most significant contributors from our day-to-day lives) has exacerbated and accelerated the current rate of warming. While no single person can save the world, if everyone does a little bit to reduce their individual impacts, be it walking to the store instead of driving, eating a diet with more plant-based meals instead of having

burgers and steaks every night, or turning the lights off when you leave a room, we can leave the world a better place for the next generation. Climate change is a real issue that is harming human life; just look at the wildfires that decimated California and Australia or the increase in frequency and severity of hurricanes as ocean temperatures warmed the past few years. Saying it’s not an issue because you heard some talking heads on the TV say it has happened before and you

don’t want to change your lifestyle just a little bit to try and leave the world a better place is an ignorant and selfish cop-out. Alex Jarrett, Fishers

Saying global warming is a natural cycle that humans shouldn’t do anything about is akin to saying that fires happen naturally and we shouldn’t actively do what we can to put them out or prevent them.

Commentary by Carol Applegate We have all been at home for so long that it is difficult to think life, as we knew it, will ever return. I was feeling a HOSPITAL little hopeless as I awoke this morning, looking for encouragement and a positive perspective on my daily routine. That hope came later when I was privileged to hear Dr. Ryan Nagy, IU Health Methodist president, give an update on COVID-19 to the members of the IU Health Foundation. The report reassured us that the hospital was stable with the number of COVID-19 patients remaining steady. There were zero employees lost to the virus, and the few that had tested positive were recovering. The staff was able to work in a controlled and manageable environment. This is not the story that was heard from other hospitals in New York and Chicago. So, why the difference? In my opinion, we are very fortunate to have strong health care leadership and top-notch facilities. With three major hospital systems in Indianapolis, not only do we have a higher capacity for sick patients and staff to care for those patients, but we also have had adequate supplies. Our hospitals are financially

stable, which has allowed us to respond to the crisis in a timely manner. However, one of the major issues that we have faced is testing. IU Health is now able to do its own testing within its facility, which means it also is able to process 3,500 tests a day. This is huge progress! Because of this, IU Health also is reaching out to provide testing supplies to a nearby long-term care facility. This will allow all facility residents to receive testing and get their results in a shortened amount of time. Hopefully, this testing can be expanded throughout Indiana when supplies are adequate to do so. From one who worries about the most vulnerable population, our elderly, and who has witnessed the agony that patients and families have had to endure when they are unable to see their loved ones in a facility, this was great news to me.

Emergency rooms prepared to safely treat patients news@currentnoblesvilles.com Even though hospitals are caring for patients with COVID-19, clinicians want to reassure the public that HOSPITALS individuals who need emergency care should not delay treatment. “We are seeing a concerning drop in the number of people coming in for serious non-COVID-related issues,” said Dr. William Freudenthal, president of St. Vincent Emergency Physicians. “Staying home, ignoring the symptoms and suffering out of fear of COVID-19 is a risk people shouldn’t take with their health. Timely treatment is critically important for achieving the best outcomes and lessening the risk of complications. We are prepared and set up to safely treat patients who require emergency care. No patient should delay their care in an emergency.” Ascension St. Vincent hospitals are

equipped to safely protect patients from potential exposure to COVID-19 while taking care of their chest pain, stroke symptoms, traumatic injuries, emotional and mental health and any other acute medical or surgical needs. Separate intake and care areas, waiting room distancing, staff screening, ongoing use of personal protective equipment, as well as extensive safety and sanitization protocols, are in place to ensure all patients are cared for in a protected environment. Medical professionals also encourage individuals who have preexisting conditions to continue their routine care to stay healthy. Patients should call their primary care provider or specialist to discuss whether an online visit is a good option. Anyone experiencing a life-threatening emergency, difficulty breathing or warning signs of a heart attack or stroke should go directly to the emergency room or dial 911.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern marble kitchen in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

• The support columns dividing the kitchen from the family room were removed. In their place, an arched walkway was constructed. • All new maple cabinetry was installed along the perimeter and the island. The space now has a wealth of storage and organization solutions, including heavy duty roll-out trays, an appliance garage, built-in wine rack and a spice rack insert next to the cooktop. • The Carrara marble backsplash is laid in a herringbone pattern; the countertop is white dolomite.

THE CHALLENGE This 2008 home is in Carmel’s Shelbourne Estates neighborhood. The original kitchen was finished in dark tones and featured support columns that closed the kitchen off to the adjoining living room. The new homeowners wanted to create a more open, airy space for their growing family.

The timing seemed right to Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey McDermott, STAGE McDermott announced April 24 that the Carmel center will be closed for programming through June 30. That includes three venues: The Tarkington, the Palladium McDermott and the Studio Theater. Initially, the venues were closed until May 11 due to gathering restrictions because of the coronavirus pandemic. Among the events affected are Jr. Civic’s production of “Frozen Jr.,” set for June 19-24. McDermott said Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home extensions tend to be between one- and three-week increments. “For performing arts, that’s difficult because you have to deal with rehearsals and travel and things like that, so you have to take a bit of a longer view,” McDermott said. “We felt we had to add some certainty to things beyond what the executive orders were able to provide.” McDermott said the situation has made completing the 2020-21 season difficult. “It’s a fluid situation unlike any of us has to deal with before,” he said. “We had a lot of the season scheduled, but we didn’t have it ready to go and ready to announce yet. Normally, we’d be announcing the entire season in the mid-May time frame. We are still taking a wait-and-see approach. There are too many moving pieces and too many unknowns.” McDermott said the Great American Songbook Foundation will hold its annual Songbook Academy featuring approximately 40 high school students. However, it is possible the July 11-18 event will be held as a virtual program rather than at the Palladium. “We are coming up with three or four different scenarios, but I can say with a lot of confidence it’s going to be great program this summer, one way or another,” McDermott said.

Rise’n Roll Bakery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9705 Fishers District Dr. What to get: Crunch Bismark Price: $1.79 Anna’s take: Let me preface by saying I despise people who take to social media to complain about a restaurant without consulting management first, and I’ve never had to write a negative review, whether restaurants knew I was coming or not, and I have been excited to try Rise’n Roll Bakery, a bakery started by an Amish couple in

Middlebury famous for its cinnamon caramel doughnut. A location recently opened in Fishers District, and I thought I’d give it a go. I ordered one cinnamon caramel doughnut, one Crunch Bismark doughnut and a pack of three cowboy cookies. I arrived, paid and ate one cookie in the car. It was amazing. Upon arriving home, I realized I had been given a plain glazed doughnut instead of a cinnamon caramel crunch. I ate it, and it was good, but I remind everyone to check their bags before rushing home to stuff their face with doughnuts. I did not call the bakery, but I’m sure if I had, they would have remedied the situation. That said, I definitely would return to Rise’n Roll because I still haven’t tried that famous cinnamon caramel doughnut.
