Carmel Clay Schools elementary and high school students began the school year Aug. 13. Classes look different this year, with the COVID-19 pandemic leading to face covering requirements and options for students to take classes fully online. The last time CCS buildings held in-person classes was March 13, before the school shut down to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

CCS prepares for COVID-19 cases, communication By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Now that in-person classes have resumed at Carmel Clay Schools, administrators acknowledge it’s only a EDUCATION matter of time before a COVID-19 case is identified in a student or staff member at school. When that happens, school officials are prepared to work with the Hamilton County Health Dept. to review each positive diagnosis on a case-by-case to determine who needs to stay home. “We work with (school districts) and the state to identify who has been in their educational pod at school. Then we will help them make the determination based on the risk factors for who needs to quarantine,”

said Christian Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Dept. CCS and its partners got some practice in handling COVID-19 cases before school began as three students involved in athletics tested positive for the disease in the three weeks before school started. Those students and others possibly exposed had sit out for 10 to 14 days, CCS Supt. Michael Beresford said, adding that in each case the parents of the affected student notified the district about the diagnosis. Beresford said district officials plan to track positive cases and those quarantined in a spreadsheet, but they have not determined how that information will be released to the community. He said confidentiality laws prohibit the district from releasing

information on individual cases and that parents likely won’t be alerted about a case in their child’s school unless their child is exposed or directly affected. Beresford said he expects CCS will release aggregate information about active cases, but he’s not sure how often the numbers will be updated. CCS is prepared to pivot to a fully virtual learning model if necessary, a decision that would be made based on advice from county health officials. “If we get to a point where they give us the red flag, we’re going to follow their guidance,” Beresford said. “That’s what we did (when schools closed in March). I’m hopeful we can get pretty far into the semester. I really want our kids to have time to build relationships with their teachers.”

Victim suffered injury hours before fatal shooting By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com When Carmel police responded to a call July 27 that led to an officer shooting and killing a man who had just fatalCRIME ly shot his girlfriend and injured her mother, it was the second time they had been called to the home in the 14300 block of Riverrock Court that day. According to audio recordings of emergency dispatchers communicating with Carmel Police Dept. officers, police were sent to the same house approximately six hours before the fatal shooting. The dispatcher said she’d received a call about an argument between a male and female and later reported that the female suffered a nose injury during the altercation. A daily report listing police activity confirms that CPD responded to a disturbance at the home at 1:46 a.m. Shortly after 8 a.m., police were called back to the home on a report of someone threatening suicide. During the audio recording of communication between police and dispatchers at that time, the dispatcher says she heard “a lot of screaming” before hearing shots fired and a male ask, “Are

you still alive?” Then the dispatcher reports hearing five more gunshots. By the time police arrived, the suspect, Julio Cesar Virula, 26, had fatally shot his girlfriend, Taylor Leigh Cox, 28, and shot her mother, whose name police have not released. The mother survived. Virula then fled on foot through the Spring Creek neighborhood. The dispatcher told officers the suspect was wearing a yellow shirt, black skinny jeans and had a man bun. Through other 911 calls, police located Virula on another street in the neighborhood. Police said after Virula pointed a gun at them, an officer shot and killed him. The officer who shot Virula has been temporarily reassigned during an administrative review of the incident. CPD declined to comment on the 2 a.m. incident and other details of the case, as it is being prepared for presentation to the Hamilton County prosecutor. “In order to protect the integrity of the case, we would like to reserve any comments until after that office has an opportunity to review the case and make a final determination regarding prosecution,” CPD Lt. J.J. Semester said.

The Reserve on South in Westfield SO LD

For the past several weeks, many Carmel residents have noticed a young man walking through downtown PROFILE Carmel carrying an American flag and waving at drivers and passersby. Riley Aadson, an 18-year-old Carmel resident and 2019 Carmel High School graduate, said the effort is meant to show support for his nation and the police. In light of recent events, such as the Black Lives Matter protests, Aadson said he saw an America that was divided, with citizens turning against each other. In response, he began his march to remind residents that they are still all Americans. Beginning with brief walks down Main Street, he now hikes up to 15 miles every day through Carmel for his cause. “My country is not perfect, I admit that,” Aadson said. “But it’s foolish to think that we can just discard it and pretend that this didn’t happen. I’ve known officers in Carmel and in Minnesota, and it was just like everyone has turned against them. I really wanted to just show some love to the community.” Aadson said he also walks to show support for veterans and active military. “Throughout all of our history, we have fought for freedom at the cost of blood, and that blood is our American soldiers’,” he said. “I care because I’ve got people in the military that have served. My grandma and my grandpa both served in the Air Force. I have friends going through training right now for the military. They give up their core freedoms to protect our freedoms, and that just speaks a lot to me.” Aadson said his intention is not to act as a counterprotest to the Black Lives Matter

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury. For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Sean Ferbrache is a retired firefighter after working 26 year with the Indianapolis Fire Dept. and after 11 years as a Safety Team Member with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A lifetime of strenuous work and spending long hours standing on his feet, Sean sought relief at Methodist Sports Medicine where he first met Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer, Sara Myers. Sara worked with Sean for only a short time when she knew he needed to be seen by an MSM Foot & Ankle Specialist, Dr. David Porter. Sean knew he had a challenge ahead of him when he was told that he had chronic ankle instability and impingement of his ankle joint, severe bone spurs and a bone defect. In other words, he needed some new wheels. Dr. Porter performed arthroscopic surgery in December 2018. Now, Sean is loving retired life and enjoying hiking with his wife, hunting, playing tennis and enjoying being a new grandparent.

Sean Ferbrache, retired firefighter & retired IMS safety team member

WHY MSM: “They have the best physicians and rehab facilities,” Sean said. “I liked the fact I could see Dr. Porter and Sara in the same building. Communication was excellent. Sara knew exactly what I was going through before I could even explain it. I felt comfortable with the MSM team. They took the time to listen to my concerns.”

THE JOURNEY: “I had the opportunity to guide Sean through his rehabilitation, during the recovery process, following his ankle surgery. We always want to see our patients get back to whatever it is they love,” Myers said. “We set a goal of getting back to working on the racetrack that involved rapid response times and some crazy inclines! He also worked hard to get Sara Myers back to hiking with his wife, tennis and hunting. When he reached every goal, it was a testament to his hard work, and I love knowing that he just finished a 12-mile hike with his wife!” – Sara Myers, Certified Athletic Trainer at Methodist Sports Medicine

Dr. Porter

“Sean is a testimony to the hard work and determination necessary to return to the quality of life enabling him to fulfill his passion.” – Dr. Porter THE MSM EXPERIENCE: “The team at MSM can get you back to what you love doing, regardless of your activity,” Sean said.” Those who read this and who are experiencing pain and discomfort, you don’t have to take the journey alone. (MSM) truly understands what you are going through and will take the journey with you each step of the way.”

$275K grant aims to promote White River By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A branding initiative for the White River got a big boost from a $275,000 grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust. The primary purpose RECREATION of the two-year grant is to fund an initiative to raise awareness of how to access the river at the many parks, boat ramps and cultural attractions along the river’s 58-mile stretch in Hamilton and Marion counties. Buckner The White River Vision Plan is a joint effort between the city of Indianapolis and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc., in partnership with Visit Indy’s philanthropic arm, Tourism Tomorrow, Inc., to develop a comprehensive plan to enhance the river’s presence along those 58 miles. The river passes through Cicero, Noblesville, Fishers and Carmel in Hamilton County. “This grant is a key component to providing a unifying voice to all the various partners of the White River,” Hamilton County Tourism Destination Development Manager Sarah Buckner said. “The grant will allow for one portal of information, for a calendar of events along the river, for one voice for the river, while also providing links to the experts for specific needs.” There will be a new website and print map guide. Buckner said the existing information can now be found in various spots. “So, one partner may have launch points, one may have this event, one may have a map. All this existing information will be on a new website and printed materials,” she said. Buckner, a 1999 Carmel High School graduate who lives in Cicero, has been with Hamilton County Tourism since 2005. She has been in her present position since 2017. “We want people to become more aware of this amazing asset, and also to help central Indiana residents and visitors learn how to know how to safely engage and connect with the river throughout all four seasons,” Buckner said. The project begins this fall and is slated for completion by spring 2022.

Park planned on northwest side By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A new park is one step closer to becoming a reality in northwest Carmel. Carmel Clay Parks & RECREATION Recreation is seeking to purchase 26 acres at the southwest corner of 146th Street and Shelborne Road to develop into a park. Currently, West Park near 116th Street and Towne Road is the only CCPR park west of Meridian Street. Klitzing CCPR’s offer to purchase the land for $2.13 million is contingent on the parks board approving a name selected by the seller for a major feature, such as a playground, pavilion or nature preserve, in the park. Sellers David and Beth Bidgood requested “The Carter Family” be used in honor of Beth Bidgood’s family, who purchased the property many years ago. The board approved use of “The Carter Family” at its Aug. 11 virtual meeting. CCPR expects to close on the sale in September. A name for the park as a whole has not been

determined. CCPR Director Michael Klitzing said it will likely be two to five years before the park is developed and opened to the public. “Our first step will be to develop a park master plan, which is typically a nine- to 12-month process, involves significant public input and will ultimately identify what is built in the park,” Klitzing said. “We will also need to secure necessary funding for development, which is estimated to cost at least $6.5 million in 2020 dollars based on our recent construction projects.”

READY FOR A NEW VIEW?

BOARD APPROVES BUDGET The Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation board approved a $4.07 million budget for 2021, which is 9 percent more than the previous year. Approximately 73 percent of the increase is associated with increased maintenance needs for Monon Boulevard, the Sister Cities Garden and Hotel Carmichael public restroom facility. The budget adds two full-time employees. The Carmel City Council will have final voting authority on the budget.

SERVING AS A GUIDE

Each box costs $100 to assemble, but they are given to families for free. They are only available at Ascension St. Vincent Carmel, but the Jeffers hope to offer them at other hospitals soon. Ultimately, the Jeffers want to raise enough funds to be able to pay the hospital bill for visits that end in the loss of a baby. Steven said he remembers receiving his bill on one of the first days he and Kathleen were starting to emerge from their grief, which sent them reeling again. They’ve also started a support group for women that meets at a coffee shop, and they want to form a group for men to support each other, too. “These (grief) events are so huge and it’s all at once. You can’t think properly and you’re trying to figure it all out,” said Kathleen, who is training to become a grief doula. “We’re helping to guide couples that go through this into a path that helps them accept the time they have with their baby and may help do some of the figuring out for them, really helping to guide them through the process.” Learn more at ScottyMichael.org.

IN THE BOX

Stillborn son inspires couple to support others experiencing infant loss By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The process was familiar, but the emotions couldn’t have been more different for Kathleen and Steven Jeffers as they made their second trip to the maternity ward at Ascension St. Vincent Carmel hospital in September 2018. It was the same floor at the same hospital where they’d given birth to their daughter, Lyla, 2 1/2 years earlier, a day full of joy, smiles and longing fulfilled. But this time there would be no joy. There would be no laughter. There would be no baby to take back to their Noblesville home. The hospital room was “dark” and “depressing,” Kathleen said, the absence of a warming bed a constant reminder that the 26 hours of labor would not end as they’d dreamed it would only days before. Shortly after 8 p.m. on Sept. 22, 2018, Kathleen and Steven met their son, Scotty Michael Jeffers. “It’s life-changing to hold your child that isn’t breathing and will never take a breath in this world. It was something that gets you to the absolute core of who you are,” Steven said. “I woke up the next morning and had weighing on my heart that this (process) has to be better. It’s already the worst thing someone has to experience in their life, but how can we at least help people get through it?” Thus, the idea for the Scotty Michael Foundation was born.

‘SO UNEXPECTED’

Kathleen and Steven met as students at Terre Haute North High School, both graduating in 2006. They married in 2011 and welcomed their daughter five years later after a routine pregnancy. Kathleen’s second pregnancy also was textbook until she went to her 28-week

checkup and was shocked to find that her baby boy had no heartbeat. “It was so unexpected,” Kathleen said. “I felt him moving up until then.” The next day, Kathleen and Steven went to the hospital to induce labor. Doctors believe Kathleen had a placental abruption, meaning the placenta partially or fully separated from the wall of the uterus, depriving the baby of oxygen or nutrients. Often, a placental abruption causes bleeding and pain, but Kathleen had no indications anything was wrong. The medical team was caring and compassionate, the Jeffers said, but once they left for home without Scotty, they felt alone in managing their grief. The hospital gave them a packet of resources, which included information on support groups and funeral homes, but they craved more than that. Even before leaving the hospital, Steven was brainstorming ways to improve the experience for other families in similar situations. During the next few months, he and Kathleen formed the nonprofit Scotty Michael Foundation and began gathering resources and gifts to be placed in a beautifully decorated box for parents experiencing similar loss. The boxes include a folder of resource information, a baby book designed for parents experiencing loss, a necklace, a devotional, toiletries and a worry rock for fathers to carry around with them to remind them to breathe and feel companionship. “The dads get forgotten in this process,” Kathleen said. “Remembering they’re part of this experience and that they’ve experienced loss, too, having something for them is important.”

Items in boxes provided by the Scotty Michael Foundation are: • A letter from a mother who experienced similar loss to show that they are not alone • Resources on lactation support, funeral or cremation arrangements, memorial bears and more • Invitation to the One Sip at a Time coffee group held monthly to support grieving parents • “Loved Baby” devotional • Baby memorial book • Pen for journaling • Guardian angel necklace • Worry rock for fathers • Toiletries for the hospital stay

ESSAY

LETTER

In harm’s way

Masks and speed limits

Commentary by Terry Anker

Alongside one another on a city street, probably administratively correct but just barely wide enough for bulking emergency vehicles, two motorists — an empty ambulance and a sedan — were aligned next to each other. The ambulance driver was likely bored from his daily task of ferrying northside patients to downtown hospitals for testing and treatment; and the other was returning home enjoying the evening sun. As the two vehicles were first as the traffic light descended from red to green, they both advanced, side by side. Twenty feet from the crosswalk, the ambulance driver, eagerly finishing the important text message that had affixed his cellphone to the center of the steering wheel and his gaze to it, allowed the now unrestrained and lumbering giant to nudge itself into the lane to its right — claiming real estate until others had no choice but to take the ditch as refuge. Alerted by the crunching steel precipitated by his absent-mindedness, the phone was dropped and the wheel reclaimed as the now-tamed colossus sped off in shame. The beleaguered and disabled passenger automobile took stock that all occupants were safe and accounted for, and then the fright of the moment shifted from abject fear to understandable frustration. Happily, there was only mechanical and not physical damage. And, thanks to traffic cams and a report from police that “this happens all the time,” the health care company took responsibility for the repair (but not for the hours of inconvenience it precipitated). Do we flee from the damage of our own lack of attention, assuming the harm we inflict on others as inconsequential and not intentional? Do we measure our minor effort against their significant harm? Is it our nature to count those we injure as egregiously as we measure those hurting us? Do we wonder who are we running off the road?

An (almost) empty nest Commentary by Danielle Wilson In a few short days, my husband Doo and I will be relishing the return to our almost empty nest. Praise be! We’ll HUMOR still have our youngest around to keep us young, but the eldest three will be heading back to their respective college campuses, COVID-19 be damned. And it’s been a fascinating run-up to said departures, given the different personalities of our kids. The oldest has been fairly nonchalant. He has already made one trip to Bloomington to move out of one shoddy apartment and into a slightly better house, though that just means all of his beerstained stuff is now piled in a basement. He plans to show up a day or two before classes, plenty of time to organize, find a job and prep for the enviable grind of student life. Our older daughter is at the complete opposite end of the coed spectrum. She’ll be driving to Colorado for her sophomore year and only has a Honda Accord’s worth of

space with which to work. Our kitchen table has become a triage as she weighs the pros and cons of each small appliance, piece of clothing and pair of boots. What will make the cut? The intrigue is palpable. Her twin is perhaps the saddest to observe. He’s transferring to Ball State from a California school because it’s going online this semester. He knows he’s been accepted, and that’s about it. He has no move-in date, no dorm assignment, no desire whatsoever to visit Muncie. His lack of enthusiasm is outweighed only slightly by his disdain for being in Indiana. Hashtag heartbroken. Regardless, a near empty nest approaches! Peace out.

Editor, I am very pleased that the valid constitutional and statutory objections raised by elected officials such as Attorney General Curtis Hill and Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush were addressed by the governor regarding mask-wearing enforcement. As I was doing a loop during the weekend on I-465, I noticed neither IMPD nor the Indiana State Police were strictly enforcing the posted maximum speed limit of 55 mph, either. It struck me that like the purported benefits of mask wearing, following speed limits can save lives. In addition, the government actually owns the roads, unlike most places that are subject to the mask-wearing edict. Finally, the governor, through INDOT, has a statutory mechanism (IN Code section 9-21-5-12) to address this without needing to call a special legislative session, and then enforce it later. Therefore, I called INDOT and have requested that they study the speed limit on I-465, which is rarely followed, and would encourage others to do the same. In the meantime, I would ask those that believe masks should be mandatory to only drive at or below the speed limit. If it saves just one life. Eric S. Morris, Carmel

Editor, My name is Jake Madore, and I’m proud to announce my candidacy for Hamilton County treasurer. The treasurer’s office is an extremely important function of our local government that must follow county and state laws when collecting taxes. There is no room for pushing party agendas nor playing favorites. But, as we have seen during the last few years, these goals are missed when we have the wrong people representing us. This is why I am running. To be a leader that will seek transparency and fairness for all the taxpayers of Hamilton County. We all want good government. Often, the ideals we place around what good government actually looks like varies between party lines. However, the office of the treasurer is not one of those good government ideals that vary. We all want a treasurer that will faithfully collect and then lawfully manage those taxpayer dollars. For those of you in Hamilton County that may be unfamiliar with me, I want you to know that I will place all Hoosier taxpayers above party lines during my term. Meaning, I will faithfully follow all Indiana laws that direct this office. Please join me to create a better Hamilton County. We can choose to do better and to end the turmoil at the treasurer’s office. Let’s pick the candidate who won’t play politics. Jake Madore, Carmel, Democratic candidate for Hamilton County Treasurer’s Office.

Editor, Every year, millions of Muslims around the world make a journey to the holy city of Mecca to perform the Hajj, that is obligatory once in a lifetime, but only for those with means and if their circumstances permit. The Hajj is one of the five pillars on which Islam is built on. People at home celebrate Eid al-Adha, “the feast of sacrifice,” that commemorates the end of the Hajj. Every year, around 2 million people attend the Hajj. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials of Hajj of Saudi Arabia made a critical decision to limit the number of pilgrims only to around 1,000 from different nationalities already present in Saudi Arabia, respecting all safety measures and physical distancing by following the recommendations of trusted global institutions. It also issued guidelines for safe Eid al-Adha addressing social distancing at prayer and public gatherings that included best practices for sacrifices and distribution of charity to the poor. These circumstances remind us about the story of how God commended prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of faith. A similar story is told of Abraham and Isaac, as they were known, in the Hebrew Torah and Christian Old Testament. This story has institutionalized the practice of sacrifice, patience and obedience in Islam and continues to be honored by 1.8 billion Muslims each year. This upcoming Hajj pilgrimage and Eid al-Adha will be a testament to the harmony between safety and faith and will serve as proof that protecting one another is truly part of faith.

More trips down memory lane Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I announced my retirement from television last month, WISH-TV asked me to send them some tapes of my HUMOR favorite shows for my send-off. I had favorites in my head, I just didn’t have the tapes. Back in the ’80s and ’90s, I had to remember to set my VCR each morning, and quite frankly, I had never quite mastered that skill. But there is a tape running in my head, and unless I accidentally erase it, I still have some great memories. So, for the next two weeks’ columns, I’ll hit the replay button. Tall in the saddle At Hoosier Park, I asked a jockey to stand on a chair and allow me to interview him as “Otto, the world’s tallest jockey.” The camera only revealed us above the waist. The jockey played it totally straight, even lamenting his poor basketball skills in high school. The photographer never revealed the chair because it was so obviously a gag. Turns out the horse’s owner was watching and had never met Otto — and had never seen me on TV. She didn’t know I did “shtick.” She called Hoosier Park in a panic,

concerned that her horse would be carrying a 6-foot-3 rider. How good an actor was Otto? He ended up playing the jockey in the movie “Secretariat.” My best pun In the early ’80s, I was hosting “Good Morning, New York.” I had the opportunity to interview boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard. Because he was doing 7-Up commercials at the time, I asked him if he would mind autographing a 2-liter bottle I picked up on the way to the studio. “But, Dick,” he said, “this is regular 7-Up. I just do the Diet 7-Up commercials.” “OK, then, could you sign it “Sugar-Free Ray Leonard?” Sheet music The Sybaris hotel is a place for lovers, complete with hot tubs and mirrors. When I interviewed the owner in one of the rooms, behind us in bed were friends I had asked to be part of the stunt. There was no han-

ky-panky going on, but they kept peeking out from under the covers. Well, the next day, scores of people told me that I had inadvertently gone into an occupied room. Seriously? Jaw-dropping observation Almost 35 years ago, I did a segment in Columbus, Ohio, about couples who swing. This wasn’t dancing. These were married folks who switched partners. When I got home, my wife told me how impressed she was with the guests. “You were impressed?” I asked, jaw dropping. “Yes. We can’t even find a couple to go to the movies with.”

Reflections of world travel Commentary by Don Knebel As hard as it is for me to believe, this is my 400th column about travel. As a result, I am taking this opportunity to TRAVEL look back at those columns. In October 2011, I told Current publisher Brian Kelly that I was about to leave for South Africa and we talked about some of the countries I had visited. He invited me to write a travel column and I agreed. My first column was published on Feb. 22, 2012. The subject was international toilets, a subject I promised never to write about again. In July 2013, I began writing every week and have continued to do so since. The columns have not always appeared in all Current print editions, but all have been on the Current website. All the columns are on my website, donknebel.com., organized by country and searchable. In the 399 previous columns, I have written about places of interest in 40 countries. Thirty-six columns have been about India, which I have visited three times. I have

written 33 columns about Egypt, my favorite country outside the United States. Thirty columns have described sites in Israel and another 11 have been about Jerusalem. Twenty-five columns have talked about Syria and 32 have explored places in the United States. The word “tomb” appears in 54 columns and the word “body” can be found in 38. The word “church” is in 127 columns, the word “temple” in 96 and the word “mosque” in 43. Seventy-nine columns mention Jesus and 14 mention Muhammad. More than 100 columns mention God or gods. Three mention Satan. In my first column (the one about toilets), I promised to try to relate lessons I have learned in my travels. As I continue to write, I will try to maintain that promise. I cannot wait to resume traveling.

As we continue to spend time at home, here are some very basic yet helpful tips to remain injury free. 1. Limit how much you walk barefoot around the house: While at home, you may think that walking around barefoot, in socks or house slippers is OK. However, most homes have hard wood floors or tile, and walking or standing on hard surfaces can lead to heel pain, achilles pain or soreness in the ball of the foot. Walking around without good support can cause re-injury. Make sure you have a well fitted, supportive shoe (preferably a running sneaker) and wear this around the house to support and protect your feet. 2. Do daily stretching: If you’re used to wearing high heels to work and are now wearing no shoes or flats, consider daily stretching and wearing shoes around the house that also have some heel lift. If you are tight in the legs and hips, practice daily stretching and wearing proper footwear. Taking short breaks to walk around can be very helpful.

3. What to do if you experience pain: The first step in any overuse injury is Rest, Ice and Elevate. Consider taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Advil or Aleve if you can tolerate those medications. If the pain does not resolve in a few days, please call our office and we would be happy to help. If it’s a traumatic event -- fall, laceration or wound -- please call our office for an urgent appointment. 4. Exercise: This is a great way to keep stress levels down but be careful not to overdo it. Start any new exercise routine slowly and increase by 10% weekly as you get better and fit. Moderate exercise with low to medium intensity is best for most people. A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC.
