Health officials fear Labor Day COVID-19 spike By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said last week that some of the state’s COVID-19 data points are PANDEMIC trending in a positive direction. But she fears a possible spike in cases after Labor Day if Hoosiers let their guard down. “These steps we take in the coming days and weeks are going to be critical to reversing these trends, especially as we get close to our Labor Day weekend,” Box said. “We have seen all of these metrics increase significantly a couple of weeks after July 4 when many people gathered and didn’t practice social distancing.” Box said many cases after the Fourth of July were traced to social gatherings, graduation parties, weddings and other festivities. “My fear is that we will see another spike after Labor Day if people continue to ignore our guidance,” Box said. Indiana’s hospitalization numbers continue to trend up, after having reached their highest peak at the end of May. On Aug. 10, the state reported 964 COVID-19 hospitalizations, up from the 595 on June 26. The state reported 1,579 hospitalizations on May 4. The state’s positivity rate, a measure of how many COVID-19 tests are positive, also continues to increase. Health officials said the state had a 7.7 percent seven-day positivity rate for the week of July 30 to Aug. 5, the latest available week complete data was finalized. Previously, the state’s seven-day positivity rate hovered near 5 percent in late June. “I hear every day from people who are angry that their children are back in school, and some are angry because their children have to learn remotely,” Box said. “I hear from teachers who are afraid of being in the classroom because they have health concerns, and I hear from people who are being assigned to new employee trainings in small conference rooms where no one is wearing a mask, and they are wondering if they are going to get sick or have to quarantine before they get their first paycheck. “This is our story right now. If we want to change the narrative, we all have to do our part.” Box said in many instances, students were not infected in schools but were infected at social gatherings where they did not properly social distance.

“As we trace this back, we find that it’s usually a party, a birthday party, a graduation. It was a football team getting together with cheerleaders and other kids from the high school to celebrate opening back up,” Box said. “All of those things are contributing, unfortunately, to these cases. They’re really not necessarily getting this at school.” After a wave of positive COVID-19 cases reported by schools, Box said the Indiana State Dept. of Health wants to create an online dashboard Box tracking all COVID-19 cases in schools, which the public would be able to view at coronavirus.in.gov along with other metrics. Box said a dashboard could be created while still adhering to all privacy laws. But the ISDH would need complete enrollment data from schools. At the moment, it only has approximately 10 percent of statewide enrollment numbers. On Aug. 12, the state launched its long-term care dashboard, which allows the public to search known COVID-19 cases, including new cases and cumulative staff and patient cases and deaths in particular facilities. The data will be updated weekly, state officials said. School funding On Aug. 12, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb asked the Indiana State Board of Education to delay the fall count of student enrollment, commonly known as the average daily membership, through at least December. The count, completed twice a year, is used to set new funding levels for schools. The count date is scheduled for Sept. 18. According to Holcomb, state law allows the board to take action to change the count date for reasons that include extreme patterns of illness. The count requires school districts to designate students who receive at least 50 percent of their instruction virtually as virtual students. School corporations in Indiana receive 85 percent of the foundation formula dollars distributed for virtual students, according to the governor’s office. In a press release, the governor’s office addressed concerns that schools electing to begin the academic year by providing virtual-only instruction because of the COVID-19 pandemic would receive 85 percent of funding for all students when the count is conducted. “I have asked the State Board of Education to exercise this statutory authority to secure full funding to schools,” Holcomb stated.

To our valued readers: We hope you are well and are enjoying the summer! It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Fishers, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose. Current in Fishers remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed. As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, 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 public library locations each week. In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change. As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual. Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well. Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

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.

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.”

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

Perhaps you’ve only experienced face-to-face tutoring. For many reasons, online tutoring could be a better option for your child, especially in this COVID-19 environment. Here are several reasons to consider an online tutor: Convenience: Tutoring sessions can be scheduled to occur anytime or anywhere without worrying about transportation for your child to and from the library, school or coffee shop, thus saving the parent and the child time that would otherwise be wasted. Personalization: The online tutor can work more closely with your child and be more available for last-minute or quick questions, such as might occur the night before a test when libraries and coffee shops are closed. More engaging with technology: Kids

are comfortable with using technology and always looking for the latest and greatest tools to accomplish the work they need to do. Access to vast resources: An online tutor typically has knowledge of many online resources, such as websites that provide example problems, check solutions and provide interactive, hands-on activities. The online tutor can prescribe exactly the right tool for the student and train them on it. Network: Online tutors network with other tutors and can collaborate to give your child the best possible tutoring experience. Availability: Online tutors can be available any time of the day or night and are not limited to just one geographic location. Efficiency: More tasks can be accomplished and less time wasted as typically happens in a face-to-face tutoring situation. Max Pavlovsky is a Westfield resident and professional math tutor and former engineer and computer professional. He can be reached at 423-227-8873 or maxmathtutoring@gmail.com.

Noblesville-based Women of Vision goes virtual By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health Foundation’s Women of Vision event is undergoing another change. After the event was postponed from RIVERVIEW April 29 to Aug. 27 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event will now be on the same day but held virtually and set during the lunch hour instead of later in the day. “For Riverview Health as a health care organization, we want to be modeling appropriate behavior, so we decided

not to sponsor events where people can’t social distance, or if they are eating and drinking, they certainly aren’t wearing a mask,” Riverview Health Foundation Executive Director Megan Wiles said. “So, we didn’t think it was appropriate for the foundation to be hosting an event where people will be doing that.” The event is a fundraiser for the Women of Vision Giving Club, which provides grants for departments at Riverview Health Wiles that helps women and children. Polio survivor Minda Dentler, the keynote speaker, will

join live from Arizona. Dentler was the first female wheelchair competitor to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. The Aug. 27, hour-long event begins at noon. Guests who have already registered will receive a link and a $15 gift card for a local restaurant for lunch. For corporate tables already purchased, Wiles said the foundation is putting together party packs, which will be delivered several days before the event. For those who haven’t purchased tickets, the cost is $25 or $50, the price of which includes a lunch gift card. For more, visit riverview.org/womenofvision2020.

Humane Society’s Woofstock Survivor 5K supports lifesaving care By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County’s Survivor Program is dependent on donations. “That’s why we have to continue to do events like Woofstock, even in a pandemic,” said Max Williams, marketing director for Noblesville-based Humane Society for Hamilton County. “We just have to go the extra mile to make sure it’s safe. We are following all Fishers and state COVID-19 guidelines. Without this event, we cannot afford to pay for the animals that are part of the survival program.” The 12th Annual Woofstock Survivor 5K Williams and Dog Walk is set for 8 a.m. Aug. 29 at Four Day Ray Brewing, 11671 Lantern Rd., in Fishers. Woofstock, sponsored by Canine Cloud Nine and Cosmo’s Superior Foods, raises funds for animals in need of care. The goal is to raise $40,000. As of Aug. 9, more than $6,300 had been raised. “Not only does the Survivor Program fund necessary medical care, it also funds the costs associated with saving animals from surrounding shelters at risk for euthanasia, 279 lives in 2019 alone, to be exact,” said Williams, a Lawrence resident. “Each year, the program impacts the lives of over 1,300 animals, approximately 42 percent of the cats and dogs in our care. “We’ve seen some pigs, birds and guinea pigs brought in, but mostly dogs and cats. We do take care of those animals as well.” Megan Bousley, Humane Society for Hamilton County marketing communications manager, said the Survivor Program is in need more than it ever has been. “Animals still need us. They are still looking for their second chances,” Bousley said. “They are still looking for their forever homes and they are coming to us with Bousley broken legs and pneumonia. We’re getting animals from severe abuse and neglect cases.” Williams said event organizers have worked with the Fishers Health Dept. to develop a comprehensive plan for safety for supporters, volunteers and staff. “Everyone will have to wear a mask up until the time they run,” Williams said. “We will be providing masks, too, in case anyone shows up without one.” Runners will be sent out in groups of 25 or less. There will be hand sanitizing and hand-washing stations throughout the course. “We usually have those things, but we will go above and beyond and have quite a few more,” Williams said.

All the staff and volunteers will be checked for symptoms and temperatures before the race. “We had to make some changes, unfortunately, that were moneymakers for us. We are getting rid of the festival vendor-type part of the event to cut down on people congregating in groups,” Williams said. “We won’t have the music and all the vendors we normally would. We’ll have a few vendors but they will be spaced out.” Williams said walkers, some with dogs and some without, will be sent out last in small groups. Walkers will be asked to wear masks. “We usually ask the dog walkers to space out, anyway, because all dogs don’t get along,” he said. A virtual run will be offered this year for people who want to donate but prefer to participate from home. “They can run on a treadmill, they can run in their neighborhood,” Williams said. “It’s a little bit cheaper and they still get the medal and the T-shirt.” In the past, there have been 400 to 500 runners. The number of walkers varies. It has been as high as 600. “We won’t have that many this year due to COVID. That’s why we are pushing the virtual so heavily,” Williams said. “We’re taking every precaution to not have a thousand people show up and still be able to fundraise.”

ESSAY

LETTER

In harm’s way

Good and bad of the pandemic

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?

Editor, We Americans have experienced a new wave of lifestyle after the visit of (COVID-19). We witnessed many good deeds toward others of all ages, and I was impressed with the ingenuity of kindness and thoughtfulness from our younger generation in helping senior citizens. Seamstresses whipped up masks to help when masks could not be found. Customers supported restaurants by purchasing carryout food, and there were parades celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. On the dark side, the virus was the unknown. We were instructed to “clean up” by sanitizing everything we touched. Businesses that were closed took the time to really clean up their inside spaces. The airlines finally sanitized the insides of planes, and the subways in New York finally cleaned their nasty areas. Businesses were categorized as essential and nonessential, which created another division in our country. As time went along, citizens became restless and started coming out of their houses. Some governors became dictators, telling their residents what they could and could not do. So, where do we go from here? I say open up the economy and stop the fear manipulating. Mari Briggs, Sheridan

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.

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 hanky-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.”

Take care of your feet and legs Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan As we continue to spend time at home, here are some very basic yet helpful tips to remain injury free. Limit how much you PREVENTION 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 and wear this around the house. 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. 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. Exercise This is a great way to keep stress lev-

els down but be careful not to overdo it. Start any new exercise routine slowly and increase by 10 percent weekly as you get better and fit. Moderate exercise with low to medium intensity is best for most people.

Even now, timing is everything in treating a heart attack The emergency room is still the right place for immediate care for heart attacks, with precautions in place for your safety Heather Imel woke one morning to tightness in her chest and numbness in her arm. She didn’t ignore the pain. Instead, she went to the emergency room at an Ascension hospital. Her emergency room care teams immediately ran a series of tests that revealed she’d had a minor heart attack. “I was scared to death,” recalled Heather, “but my doctors reassured me that it was going to be OK.” She was quickly transported to a dedicated heart care center, where a minimally invasive heart catheterization revealed she had four blockages and would need open-heart surgery. “Once you recognize the symptoms of a heart attack, taking immediate action is the most important thing you can do to prevent permanent damage to your heart,” said Edward Fry, MD, FACC, FSCAI, Chair of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Services at Ascension St. Vincent. “Patients can trust that our emergency rooms are prepared to deliver urgent heart care with full safety precautions in place.” Don’t delay emergency care for heart attack symptoms “Our research shows some patients are delaying or even avoiding trips to the ER, even when they have heart attack symptoms,” said Jonathan Nalli, Senior Vice President, Ascension, and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension St. Vincent. “Not getting the urgent heart care they need can have a serious and lasting impact on their health. If you have these symptoms, don’t wait — not even a few minutes.” During a heart attack, timing is critical. Every minute that goes by can lead to lost heart muscle and

potentially permanent damage. The faster that the flow of blood can be restored to a blocked artery, the better the outcome for patients. ERs at Ascension St Vincent hospitals are always open 24/7, with labs and imaging services on-site. Emergency care teams are able to connect patients to experienced cardiologists, vascular specialists and heart surgeons at Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center, so they can get personalized follow-up care for their heart conditions, including cardiac rehabilitation. Heart care teams at Ascension St. Vincent have expertise in leaky heart valves, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), heart catheterization, structural heart damage, and minimally invasive heart procedures for blocked arteries that do not require open-heart surgery. Ascension St. Vincent also has the largest chronic total occlusion (CTO) program in the Indiana region.

fully prepared for the safety of patients in their care. And, seeking ER care quickly for serious conditions like heart attacks can help save lives and improve recovery. Ascension St. Vincent has implemented strict precautions throughout all its hospitals, emergency rooms and clinics, for the safety of patients and caregivers.

Know the symptoms of a heart attack People who recognize the warning signs of a heart attack — whether in themselves, friends or loved ones — shouldn’t wait to get emergency care. And it’s important to realize that women may experience heart attacks differently than men. Watch for these symptoms and talk about them with loved ones: •Chest pain or discomfort. •Discomfort or pain in arm or shoulder. These symptoms may also be present frequently in men but are more common in women: •Lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting. •Jaw, neck or back pain. •Shortness of breath.

Compassionate, personalized care — even when the need is urgent Heather’s heart health improved considerably following her surgery and rehabilitation. Her family is thankful for the immediate, comprehensive and compassionate care she received from the moment she arrived at the ER to her follow-up appointments, which were made for her by the ER concierge program at Ascension St. Vincent. “They really care. They want to make things better,” she said. “They want to make sure you’re given 100 percent of their care.”

Taking strong precautions to protect patients and caregivers Visits to medical facilities decreased when the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began because many people have been concerned about exposure to the virus. But Ascension St. Vincent facilities are

Precautions include: •Providing masks to all who enter Ascension St. Vincent hospitals and ERs. •Maintaining proper social distancing in waiting rooms. •Designating separate emergency triage and care areas for patients with symptoms of COVID-19. •Continuing to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). •Screening patients, visitors, doctors, nurses and care teams before they enter the facility. •Extensively cleaning and disinfecting all areas more often.

If you or a loved one is experiencing heart attack symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the chest or arm, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Find an Ascension St. Vincent hospital ER at GetStVincentCare.com. © Ascension 2020. All rights reserved.

The Meatball 10000 had more than 800 cars. “We’re looking to build on its success,” Leonard said. “We’re asking that any onlookers along the route in every community maintain a safe social distance, wear masks and follow guidance of municipal and health care leaders.” Revolanté was scheduled for Aug. 30 for the first time with a partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Patrons can add chicken to the Quinoa Buddha Bowl for an extra serving of protein. But the bowl is a great vegetarian option without the chicken. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Rosie’s Place

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 68 N. Ninth St., Noblesville What to get: Quinoa Buddha Bowl Price: $10.95 Anna’s take: Rosie’s Place is an excellent choice for a refreshing breakfast or lunch in downtown Noblesville. I ordered the Quinoa Buddha Bowl because I was feeling healthy for once. It is a vegetarian option with some great plant protein from spicy, crispy chickpeas, but because I’m not a vegetarian, I added chicken to the bowl. The dish remind-

ed me of a salad with its mixed greens, chickpeas, slices of creamy avocado and quinoa with a roasted red pepper sauce. The serving is sprinkled with sesame seeds and served with tahini dressing. Tahini is a type of seed butter made from ground and hulled sesame seeds and is common in Middle Eastern cuisine. I topped my order by buying five Gooey Butter Cookies ($2.25 each). Although not as healthy as the salad, the cookies are definitely something to splurge on.

Behind bars: 1205 Mimosa Get it at Rail, Westfield Ingredients: 1 oz. house-made rhubarb puree; 1 oz. 1205 rhubarb liquor; 5 oz. champagne; pickled rhubarb Directions: Add the first two ingredients to a champagne flute and top with champagne. Garnish with pickled rhubarb.
