To our valued readers: 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.

disproportionately accounts for most of the state’s COVID-19 deaths. As of press time, residents 60 and older account for 92.2 percent of Indiana’s COVID-19 deaths, according to the state’s online coronavirus dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov. Box said nearly 56 percent of COVID-19 deaths have been traced to longterm care facilities. On Oct. 21, state officials announced that the Indiana National Guard will be trained and sent to all long-term care facilities by the middle of this month to assist with surges. State officials also said clinical staff from the health care reserve workforce will be hired to supplement long-term care resources. Two million N95 masks and other pieces of personal protective equipment were scheduled to be shipped to the facilities. In September, Indiana began awarding more than $30 million to local health departments to open and operate their own testing sites for two years. To date, the departments have opened 69 testing sites and conducted more than 59,000 tests. “As we have seen more cases across the state, we are also seeing more testing,” Box said. “In the early days of the pandemic, our capacity for testing was measured in the hundreds each day, not in the tens of thousands we are seeing regularly today. “Our testing capacity is the highest that it has ever been.”
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

Fishers council approves budget, salary ordinance By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers City Council unanimously approved the 2021 budget and salary ordinance during its Oct. 19 GOVERNMENT meeting. Mayor Scott Fadness presented the budget at the September meeting, where he alerted the council that income tax revenue rose nearly 11 percent instead of decreasing 1.8 percent as originally estimated. As a result, the Fadness 2021 budget increased to $117,593,636. Within the total budget, there was an operating capital of $94.9 million and a debt service of $22.68 million. The
city’s cash reserves are $35,799,252 million. After the income tax revenue adjustments were made, changes also were made to the 2021 salary ordinance, which city controller Lisa Bradford presented during the meeting. Changes include a 3 percent salary increase for all city employees and elected officials, a $500 bonus for employees and the return of the PTO buyback program, which was removed earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new budget numbers also allows for the hiring of a firefighter, patrol officer, forensic Bradford analyst and two full-time inspectors/code enforcement employees in 2021.

A rendering of the Maple Del development on 116th Street. (Submitted image)
Fishers council approves 190 rental units on 116th Street By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers City Council unanimously approved an economic development agreement for the Maple Del DEVELOPMENT development on 116th Street west of the strip center, which includes Chatham Tap, Pure Eatery and Wild Ginger. The 10-acre property was previously unincorporated, but the developer plans to annex it into the city corporate limits. The $30 million project includes 190 units, with 164 garden-style units, 18 three-story townhomes, eight two-story patio homes and 352 parking spaces. “We wanted this to feel like a neighborhood within the city instead of just a detached multi-family project that didn’t incorporate and didn’t blend well,” Fishers Economic Development Director Megan Baumgartner said. The properties on the west side of the development border a neighborhood, which will be duplexes. The garden-style apartments will be on the east side of the development near the strip center. All units will be rentals. The economic development agreement guarantees that 100 percent of tax increment financing funds will remain within the development during the next 25 years, estimated at $6.1 million. Tom Dickey, managing director of real estate with The Hageman Group, presented to
the council prior to the vote. He responded to concerns regarding the development, including those community members worried that Fishers is outpacing other communities with apartment developments. Although Fishers has increased its apartment housing by 3 percent since 2000, it still trails Carmel, Noblesville and Zionsville in the percentage of rental options. The national average for apartment housing within a community is 22 percent. Fishers is at 16 percent. Another concern is the development causing a burden on public safety and the government budget. “This is actually the opposite of that,” Dickey said. “The infrastructure on 116th Street is already there. The only public infrastructure improvement to 116th is at the light. There will be a new left turn lane going west and a sidewalk funded by the developer.” Dickey also said there wouldn’t be a negative impact on the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district. The developer, J.C. Hart Co., expects 10 percent of units to have one student. But with an estimated $24 million of assessed value, Dickey said the impact won’t be negative. “The rents here are not cheap,” Dickey said. “They’ll be one of the highest in Fishers. That renter is not someone who can’t afford a house in Fishers. That renter is someone who chooses to rent. That’s the renter this targets. One of the fastest-growing segments of J.C. Hart is empty nesters.” For more, visit fishers.in.us.

O-negative and O-positive blood donors are most needed. Versiti Blood Center of Indiana has donor centers in Indianapolis,

INTERESTING FINDS
Fishers Police Dept. diver talks safety, unique underwater finds By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com This year, the Fishers Police Dept. Dive Team discovered a 1987 Camaro and a minivan during different dives in Geist Reservoir. Although many residents might not be familiar with the team, it has been diving since the early 2000s. “Around 2008 we really focused more on our training and, through that, built a relationship with our fire department,” said Lt. Mike Janes, who is a diver with the team. “Now, us Janes and our fire department all train the same way and often throughout the year. We work very closely with and respond to any water rescue call our fire department responds to.” To join the dive team, officers must attend a six-week dive school. They dive with full face masks with integrated communication, so they always are in communication with the surface team. “There are earbuds over both sides of the head by the ears that are speakers that work underwater, and inside the mask is a microphone,” Janes said. “It’s a safety aspect, so the person on the surface can know if something’s going on or if the person underwater needs assistance.” Divers also dive with surface-supplied air, which means they are connected to airlines that travel to the surface and can supply air indefinitely. Divers have air packs on their backs as emergency backups. “We really take safety as a priority,” Janes said. “It is inherently dangerous in public safety diving, and about three to four divers nationwide are killed, many during training accidents. We really put focus on the safety aspect when doing training.” Indianapolis Fire Dept. divers were killed during training accidents in 2000 and 2002. “That made us all in the metropolitan Indianapolis area take a definitive look at how
In October, the Fishers Police Dept. found a 1987 Camaro submerged in Geist Reservoir. “I believe it was reported stolen in 1988, and we believe it had been under there that entire time,” FPD Lt. Mike Janes said. “That’s 32 years underwater.” A fisherman with a new sonar unit located the car and called the FPD. “Until we pull it out, we don’t know the background of that vehicle,” Janes said. “So, we can’t just drop down there and run a license plate and come back up. We need to make sure there are not any human remains in there.” There were no human remains in the car. Janes said the FPD believes the car was stolen and dumped into the water. Earlier in the summer, the FPD also recovthe by d vere reco was aro A 1988 Cam sum ered a minivan that was stolen in 2004. To get this Team Fishers Police Dept.

safe manner,” Janes said. During training, divers have their masks removed and are required to put them back on. They also must dive with duct tape over the mask because most of the diving they do is in zero-visibility water. “You can put a hand in front of your face, and you can’t see anything most of the time in Geist or in retention ponds,” Janes said. “(Search) is mostly by feel, waving arms back and forth to feel what’s under there. We have to have a small search pattern if we are looking for something small, like a knife or gun used in a crime, and we have to go very slow and meticulous across the area. “If we are looking for something bigger, like a car, we can make patterns wider and more quickly locate that item.” Janes and his team also respond when there’s a drowning or an accident. “Geist keeps us fairly busy,” he said. “About once a year, we have a drowning in Geist.” The FPD searches in rescue mode for the person if it has been less than an hour since they went under. After an hour, the search transitions to body recovery. “There is a chance of survival (up to an hour), and a lot of things go into that,” Janes said. “The colder the fresh water, the younger the person, there are documented cases of people being submerged up to an hour with successful resuscitation with CPR and warming them up and they suffered no neurological injury.” There are nine members on the FPD dive team.

Thank you, Fishers
Commentary by Terry Anker Watching the Hoosiers of Indiana University claim an overtime football victory against the Nittany Lions of Penn State not only provided much-needed fun in a world still reeling from lockdowns and countless existential crises, it also provided excitement safely bound by familiar rules and long-standing good sportsmanship. Fans waited for nearly a year to see their favorite teams take the gridiron and were not disappointed. Athletes gave it their all. Coaches ran the sidelines and hoped the hours of preparation and planning would lead to the desired outcome. Both sides were ready. Still, only one team would walk away as winner. There are no participation trophies in this game. Naturally, this writer, like the vast majority of this paper’s readers readers, rooted for the home team. Sure, some of us are alumni, but most followed our natural proclivity to back those closest by geography. One can assume that the people of Philadelphia might be more inclined to hope for a Penn State dominion. This game was played in Bloomington. IU had the home field advantage. Doubtless, fans who’d made the trip to watch and support the opposition would have been heckled some by the locals. It is all in good fun, right? But for this event, followers were barred. Folks could only chant their well wishes or express their frustrations in front of their living room televisions. No one could hear the names called to the referees or the jeering of the other team’s star player. Maybe that’s better, and maybe it is not. Today is another big game day. The elections will end, and someone will win. There is no participation trophy. Coaches and candidates gave it their all. Will the fans feel like it was a fair fight? Will the right team dominate? Will we go into overtime?

Tears for (pranking) fears Commentary by Danielle Wilson Doo and I love a laugh at the expense of our four kids. We like to mess with them with statements like, “We don’t HUMOR do favorites, but you’re third.” Recently, my youngest sister played a doozy of a parenting prank, outlined below in all its glory. First, some context. Emily and her husband, Kyle, have two sons, ages 6 and 4. Our mother lives seven doors away, and their old live-in babysitter, Kelsey, lives about a mile away. The other night, they were getting ready for bed and could hear the boys goofing around in the bathroom as they brushed their teeth and donned pajamas. After repeated warnings of “Hurry up!” from Kyle, the older one yelled, “Go away! We don’t need you!” Naturally, Kyle and Emily turned off the lights and hid in the guest bedroom. A few minutes later, the boys emerged, silent at first, then with increasingly alarmed cries of “Mom? Dad? Where are you? This isn’t funny!” Yes, it is! Emily was stifling her giggles to the point of tears.
As fears of abandonment escalated, a plan emerged. Four-year-old: “Let’s go to Kelsey’s.” Six-year-old: “Yeah, good idea.” Four-year-old, now crying: “But we (sniffle) don’t know how (gulp) to get there!” Preschool hysteria ensued, but eventually they checked the last door and unearthed the conspirators. Upon hearing the story, we first congratulated Emily and Kyle. Well played! Then we recognized the cool-under-fire, problem-solving skills of our nephews, though we wondered why they’d failed to consider their much-closer Mamaw, who’s literally around the corner. Questionable spatial awareness aside, though, there’s little better than laughter at a child’s expense. Peace out.

Editor, These trying times have been hard for all of us in Hamilton County and at our Fall Creek Township Office. We have had to make several adjustments to continue to serve Fishers and Fall Creek residents who seek our assistance. However, one thing that we have been blessed with has been the outpouring from the Fishers area community in donating to our food pantry. One of the greatest donations we received was from our local bank, First Merchants, which donated $2,500 to the pantry. First Merchant’s Customer Service Manager Cindy Mares surprised us with this outstanding gift for the community. Other groups that stepped forward to donate were: Eta Iota Chapter of Tri Kappa; Pennington Park Church; Fishers High School Swim Team; Mortgage Compliance LLC; and Friends of Geist. Also, much appreciation to the local HOA’s and subdivisions who organized food drives: Canal Place; Cambridge; Hamilton Proper; and Britton Falls. Our pantry was also blessed with a lot of families who donated as well: Mike Cook; Hagedorn; MacDonald; Ridgeway; Rooney; McGrath; Renicks; and Mehlings. And last but not least, a thank you to all of the anonymous donors. Trustee Doug Allman and board members Jason Meyer, Rachna Greulach and Brian Baehl

DISPATCHES Moving for better health — Sitting for most of the day is terrible for your health, raising your risk for diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. For better health, try to get up and do some light activity several times a day, even if you have a sedentary job. Moving around triggers blood flow, clears glucose from the blood and breaks down triglycerides. Source: BottomLineHealth.com Prevent bruises — To prevent a bruise after an injury, try this. Wet your fingers and then dip them in sugar. Massage the injured area with your sugary fingers. The massage will promote blood circulation in the area to help prevent bruising. Source: BottomLineHealth.com Banned artificial flavors you’re still consuming — The good news is, the FDA has banned six artificial flavors that have been linked to cancer. The bad news is, you’re still eating them, and you might be for a long time. As is common with such bans, food manufacturers have two years to remove the banned chemicals from their products. And because manufacturers are still permitted to label all chemicals used to simulate natural flavors as, generically, “artificial flavors,” there’s no way to know which products contain these particular offenders: benzophenone, ethyl acrylate, methyl eugenol, myrcene, pulegone and pyridine. The ban came in response to a 2016 citizen petition from consumer and environmental groups, including the Center for Food Safety, the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Natural Resources Defense Council, after the six chemicals were linked to cancer in laboratory animals by the National Toxicology Program.

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: Elaina Ededuwa, a former multi-sport athlete at Hamilton Southeastern High School from 2012-2016 and women’s basketball player at Indiana Wesleyan University from 2016-2020, had some unfortunate breaks along the way. Methodist Sports Medicine was there to get her back in the game each time. The daughter of E and Linda Ededuwa of Fishers, Elaina Elaina Ededuwa, former was a volleyball, basketball, and track & field athlete at HSE. In January 2015, she suffered a basketball player at tear of her left anterior cruciate ligament while playing basketball and underwent surgery for an Indiana Wesleyan University. ACL reconstruction by Dr. Peter Maiers. She worked diligently to rehab and returned to highlevel competition. On Jul. 5, Elaina returned to the court to play in her first game since her injury in an AAU tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the second half, she went up for a rebound, and when she came down, she was hit in the knee, suffering a contact injury that re-tore her ACL. Elaina worked hard in rehab once again, fully recovered, and amazingly went on to play at the collegiate level with the Indiana Wesleyan University Women’s Basketball team. She was just about to complete a successful collegiate career when injury struck again. During basketball practice on Dec. 13, Elaina set a screen, rolled to the basket, and took a hit to the side of her knee, bending it in the wrong direction. She immediately knew she tore her ACL; this time, it was her right knee. She visited with Dr. Maiers the next morning. The diagnosis: right ACL tear, partial MCL tear, sprain of the lateral collateral ligament, tear of the lateral meniscus, along with a left knee lateral meniscus tear. Although heartbroken, Elaina cheered her team on that night at IWU and then boarded a flight to Arizona to cheer her team on from the sideline at their holiday tournament. Dr. Maiers performed surgery on both knees on Dec. 27, and she again battled back to a complete recovery. Today, Elaina is an Indiana Wesleyan graduate with three degrees, lives in Florida, and has been offered an opportunity to continue her basketball career in Europe.
WHY MSM: “My family and I chose Methodist Sports Medicine after my first injury because we trusted the sports medicine team at Hamilton Southeastern, and MSM is where HSE sent me. After that, it wasn’t even a question for the second and third injuries to go back to MSM because they felt like family. I knew they cared about me, and I cared about them. We both had the same goal; getting me healthy in the best way possible. Honestly, if I ever need orthopedic care again, I would probably fly home from Florida and see Dr. Maiers and the MSM team because that’s how much I value and appreciate all of the care and treatment I have received.” - Elaina Ededuwa
THE JOURNEY: “We never had to push Elaina to work harder. She gave an all-out effort with each exercise, and rehab session. We had more concern with holding her back and not letting her do too much too soon. Melissa Schnepp PTA, ATC was crucial to her recovery during her first two surgeries. Working closely as a rehab team allows us to problem solve together and pick up on deficits that the other may not see. Being able to communicate efficiently with Dr. Maiers and his clinical staff allowed for proper progression of Elaina’s rehabilitation.” - Nate Mejeur, PT, DPT - Methodist Sports Medicine
Dr. Peter Maiers
“My career has been far from perfect, but it’s allowed me to put myself in situations to grow both on and off the court, create friendships that will last my entire life, and push my mental and physical toughness to levels I would never have thought I could.” - Elaina Ededuwa THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Peter Maiers, Sports Fellowship Trained with Hip and Knee Specialty, Nate Mejeur, Physical Therapist, and Melissa Schnepp, dual Certified as an Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapy Assistant.

Carmel resident’s passion for art led to novel on Pompeii priestess By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A nearly three-decade passion of Sandra C. Hurt’s was ignited by a women’s study group. Hurt attended a lecture by a former AUTHOR Butler University instructor on the topic of women in art through the centuries. “I was taken away by a fresco of a woman,” Hurt said of paintings displayed on the walls on plaster. “I’ve never been the same since. These frescoes really spoke to me. I had an interesting experience. Her face haunted me. I couldn’t get over it.” Hurt began researching the history of Pompeii, an ancient city near Naples, Italy, through numerous books and eventually through visits. Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The disaster killed an estimated 16,000 people. The Carmel resident’s “Priestess of Pompeii, The Intimate Journey” is her first novel. Hurt finished the book in June. It was self-published in August. She is working on a second book in the series. “She really expressed the attitudes of the women of the day,” Hurt said of the fresco. “They know only her name and they think she owned the villa. The frescoes represent a women’s ritual to the (greek god) Dionysus.” A couple years after seeing the frescoes, she took an art history course at the Indianapolis Arts Center. The center organized a trip to Pompeii and the Villa of the Mysteries on the outskirts of Pompeii “I got to see the frescoes in person and was dumbstruck, too,” she said. “I had read a lot about it by the time we went but it was an inspiring experience.” Hurt started the book on Jan. 1, 2000. She presents the priestess, Rufilla Istacidii, as a real person who was adopted by a wealthy family, so Hurt set the story in her historic time of the first century B.C. It was the era of Julius Caesar, who is included in the novel. “But nothing else is known about her, so that’s perfect for a novel,” she said. “The story evolved, and I’ve been there several times and other places in Italy as well as Greece. In the book, she does a coming-of-age journey when she goes to Greece. The only information that I did find is she really was a priestess of Venus, who was the patron goddess of the City of Pompeii, and she was also a priestess of Dionysus. They think she was the one that conducted the initiation ritual.” The priestess’ father was written as a military member and equestrian.

Weather shuts down ATI drive-in concert By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sandra C. Hurt pauses with a copy of her book, “Priestess of Pompeii, The Intimate Journey,” in her home library. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)
Hurt, who had been trained as a nurse, had not taken classes growing up about the classics, so she took courses at Indiana University in Bloomington and IUPUI. The classes also included creative writing. Hurt had been writing short stories and poetry her entire life. Hurt and her husband, Stan, who owned a distribution center for heating and air conditioning, which he sold, have lived in Carmel since 2008. Her husband went with her on the first visit to Pompeii, but she has since traveled there several other times with women’s groups and a friend. “I took tours with travel companies who hired archeologists to guide and give lectures on the Roman and Greek ruins we visited,” she said. “Pompeii is an ancient city that is still revealing her fascinating history.” For more, visit sandrahurtauthor.com.
Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell loves Indiana, but not its unpredictable weather. “The weather can change on a dime,” he said. “We were watching the weather minute by minute.” Due to inclement weather on Oct. 23, Carmel-based ATI had to cancel its Drive-In Theatre concert of “Cole With a Side of Hoagy” at the Monon Shopping Center in Carmel. ATI made a livestream production of the Oct. 29, show, which was a tribute to Indiana composers Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael. Farrell said ATI officials kept monitoring the bad weather for rain and lightning and had to be careful because they were using rental equipment, including LED lights, and a metal stage. “We set everything up, and then another system came in and we had to take it back down,” Farrell said. “As we were coming up on (show) time, it just wasn’t the safest thing to do. Normally, we would try to do it the next night, but we had scheduling conflicts with a lot of performers and designers.” A third ATI Drive-In Concert is set for Nov. 27 at the Monon Shopping Center. The first one was held Sept. 18. For more, visit atistage.org.

Treatment of Hip & Knee Arthritis

Nonsurgical treatment options Hip replacement Partial and total knee replacement Medical advancements which shorten operation recovery time
Address: 339 S. Delaware St., Indianapolis What to get: Linguini Nero Price: $22 Anna’s take: Nesso Italian Kitchen recently reopened in downtown Indianapolis, and it’s definitely worth trying. Soft lighting and shadows set the mood for luxurious Italian dining. The food is top notch. I started with the burrata ($13), a mix of cherry tomatoes, candied onions, salsa verde and levain bread with a large ball of cheese in the middle. My main course was Linguini Nero, which is made with squid-ink pasta, which turns the noodles black. It tastes similar to regular pasta, but the color adds a uniqueness to the dish, which also has shrimp, scallops, octopus, oil-cured tomato, garlic, pepper flakes and herbs. I finished the meal with a delecta-

A custom, 16-foot poplar wood mantel was designed and installed to complete the room. 2. Avid art collectors, the homeowners wanted to create additional display space for their many treasures. Custom-built shelving in the breakfast nook creates the perfect backdrop.

A history of Sydney’s Anzac Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel Many consider the Anzac Memorial in Sydney to be the most beautiful Art Deco structure in Australia. Two TRAVEL sculptures proposed for the memorial were a little too evocative. Australian and New Zealand troops supporting the Allied effort in World War I were known as “Anzac,” short for “Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.” On April 25, 1915, about 25,000 Anzac troops landed on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula as part of an Allied initiative to seize control of the Dardanelles from the Ottoman Empire. Anzac losses on that first day exceeded 2,000 dead and wounded, and the Allied effort ultimately failed. The huge casualties were a shock to the people of Australia, then with a popu-

lation of only about 4.5 million. Australians almost immediately began raising money for a memorial to honor the sacrifices and heroism of the Anzac soldiers. In 1930, following extensive debates about the nature of the memorial, C. Bruce Dellit, a Sydney architect, won a design competition for an Art Deco memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park.

tor Rayer Hoff to create sculptures for the memorial, most of which depicted men and women of Anzac. Two of Hoff’s proposed sculptures were explicitly anti-war. One, “Crucifixion of Civilization 1914,” depicted an attractive nude woman, symbolizing peace, crucified on the sword and shield of Mars, standing over a pyramid of dead Australian soldiers. The other, “Victory after Sacrifice 1918,” depicted another nude woman, symbolizing Australia, also atop a pyramid of dead soldiers. Hoff abandoned these sculptures after local religious leaders condemned them as blasphemous. The Anzac Memorial was dedicated in 1934. In 1984, it was rededicated to honor all Australians serving their country in war. April 25 is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand.
