To our valued readers: It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Geist, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose. Current in Geist 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, 2020. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail. Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.
Q: Will these vaccines work against different variants of the virus? A: Maybe. Research studies are underway that show the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may work against new COVID-19 variants, but more clinical data is needed. Q: How long will the vaccine protect me? A: Clinical trials are being conducted to see how long immunity from the vaccines lasts. Q: How do we know the vaccine is safe, and what are the chances of an allergic reaction? A: Both vaccines have received authorization for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after completing multi-staged clinical trials. Ginder said out of all patients vaccinated at the Hamilton County’s site at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville, no one has experienced allergic reactions. Q: When can those with underlying health conditions receive the vaccine? A: The Hamilton County Health Dept. is following the state’s instruction, so the vaccine is only available to those ages 70 and older, health care professionals and first responders.
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

Area school districts stand to benefit if Senate Bill 2 becomes law By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Area school districts could save millions of dollars if a bill authored by State Sen. Brian Buchanan (R-Lebanon) becomes law. EDUCATION Senate Bill 2 passed the Indiana Senate with a 41-6 vote on Feb. 2. If approved by the House of Representatives and signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb, the legislation would provide 100 percent of the state’s per-student funding for public schools whose students have transitioned to virtual education for part or all of the 2020-21 school year as long as those students weren’t already virtual learners prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Senate Bill 2 could save school districts millions, as current law states that schools can only receive 85 percent of funding per student if those students receive 50 percent or more of their education virtually. Noblesville Schools could save more than $5 million if the
bill is passed. “We’re thankful that the Indiana legislature has taken up the issue of fully funding students who are learning virtually this year due to the COVID pandemic. The majority of our 10,000-plus students are learning either exclusively online or through an alternating in-person/virtual schedule,” a statement from Noblesville Schools reads. “If these students were not fully funded, Noblesville Schools would stand to lose approximately $5.5 million dollars. That would be a devastating blow in a year where COVID management has caused expenses to soar and our staff is working harder than ever to serve students. It is likely that we will continue to have a need for some COVID-related virtual learning into next school year, and are hopeful that lawmakers will take that into consideration as they work to best support schools during this difficult time.” Noblesville Schools isn’t the only district that could benefit in Hamilton County. Westfield Washington Schools, Carmel Clay Schools and
Hamilton Southeastern Schools also could save money. WWS CFO Brian Tomamichel said the WWS district fully supports Senate Bill 2. “We’ve structured our learning models to support the health and safety of our students, families and staff, so we stand to see a $1.8 million funding deficit if the bill is not passed,” Tomamichel said. “A majority of that amount comes from the fact that our middle and high school hybrid plan has grades 7-12 students receiving in-person instruction 40 percent of the time, which falls below of the 51 percent mark, making the entire WHS and WMS population qualify as virtual students even though most attend classes in-person.” HSE Schools could lose more than $2 million if the bill is not passed, and Carmel Clay Schools could lose $2.9 million. The bill was assigned to the Ways and Means Committee. After it goes through the committee process, it will be heard by the House of Representatives at a future undetermined date.

Hamilton County Health Dept. moves vaccine clinic news@currentinfishers.com The Hamilton County Health Dept. moved its vaccine clinic into the 4-H Fairgrounds’ Exhibition Hall Feb. 1. The PANDEMIC clinic was originally set up at the Annex Building at the fairgrounds. The move will provide more space for vaccine clinic operations. “The county’s buildings and grounds crew has been working nonstop to help get the new clinic set up,” stated Christian Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Dept. “Anyone with an appointment next week should plan to come to the new facility. New signage will be installed to help get people where they need to go.”
PROTECTION YOU CAN TRUST, FROM THE FAMILY THAT CARES!
Hamilton County is allotted 800 doses of the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine per week, and it expects that number to double by midmonth. The Exhibition Hall has six times the space of the Annex Building and will allow the health department to administer up to 3,600 doses per week. “Moving to this larger space will allow us to scale up quickly once more vaccine becomes available,” Walker stated. “Supply is our only hinderance to getting more people vaccinated at this point.” Vaccines are administered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the fairgrounds. Health care providers, first responders and people of 70 and older can register for an appointment at ourshot. in.gov, by calling 2-1-1, through AARP or through their local libraries.

Arts for Lawrence executive director gives a preview of the near-complete Fort Ben Cultural Campus By Haley Miller news@geistcurrent.com The Fort Ben Cultural Campus project is Judy Byron’s baby. As executive director of Arts for Lawrence, she is intimately familiar with every detail of the two-year renovation — from the new musical swings to the ceramics workspace to the artist-in-residence studio. Not surprisingly, she and her staff look forward to the May 22 opening. “Some days I think, ‘When is this project ever going to be over?’ and then other days, I think, ‘Oh, my gosh, look how fast this is going,’” Byron said. “I’m kind of down in the trenches.” The May 22 grand opening of the Fort Ben Cultural Campus will kick off a series of summer events hosted by the arts organization. The renovation project includes an addition on the theater, an outdoor plaza and amphitheater, installation of musical swings and the transformation of a historic building into an art gallery. An augmented reality app also will be released so visitors can learn more about the history of the fort as they explore the campus. “Because we sit in a historic theater that was built as a theater to entertain the enlisted (military) men, I think we have an opportunity, and really a duty, to celebrate its history,” Byron said. Byron envisions the cultural campus helping make Lawrence an arts destination for the northeast side of Indianapolis. Prior to the Arts for Lawrence organization, she said the area was an “art desert” due to lack of public art programming. “We feel like we have filled a needed niche for the arts in this area of Indianapolis,” Byron said. “We also love the City of Lawrence. Fort Ben is such a hidden treasure of Indianapolis, and we’re trying to help the mayor of Lawrence make this city into a destination instead of a drive-thru city.” The city’s historical past gives Lawrence unique potential for the arts, Byron said. That’s why many aspects of the cultural campus are a nod to the fort’s origins and serve as a form of education about American history in general. For example, Byron said the visual arts center on the campus is an intersection between the past of Fort Harrison and the future of Arts for Lawrence. It previously was the unused communications building for the military, but the Arts for Lawrence team decided to transport the empty building to the cultural campus and repurpose it as an art gallery. “When does a city get to completely reenvision its downtown by taking historic structures and repurposing them as a new downtown?” Byron said. “I just think that’s such a cool way to reinvent your city. It should be celebrated.” Visitors to the campus can expect a variety of upcoming events, including musical performances, a Juneteenth celebration, children’s activities and more. Programming will begin in May in the new amphitheater, and outdoor events will continue throughout the summer and fall. The organization wants to start indoor performances in the fall as well.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused Arts for Lawrence to limit its programming, leading to a loss of more than $100,000 in wouldbe revenue.
LIMITED PROGRAMMING The COVID-19 pandemic limited Arts for Lawrence’s programming throughout 2020, causing the organization to lose more than $100,000 in would-be revenue. “We’re doing OK, but we are eager to reopen to the public,” Arts for Lawrence Executive Director Judy Byron said. Arts for Lawrence offered some virtual programming, but staff could not hold any in-person events after
COVID-19 lockdowns began in March. Byron said the organization received financial support from the CARES Act to continue operating. If there is a silver lining for Arts for Lawrence amid the pandemic, it’s that the lack of programming offered uninterrupted time to progress with the Fort Ben Cultural Campus Project and even renovate the theater, Byron said.

ESSAY
LETTER
Loyal opposition
Wear a mask
Commentary by Terry Anker Margaret Thatcher, former British prime minister and closest international confidant and ally of President Ronald Reagan, often referred to them as the “loyal opposition.” Of course, she was describing the members of her rival political party. Those were the good people who spent most of their day attacking her personally and her policies tirelessly. Was she likely a fan? Probably not. Although her cabinet was not well regarded by the mostly wealthy men who opposed her from the liberal Labor Party, Thatcher knew that they remained, above all, “loyal” to their oath to England above their self-interest. The Crown ruled, just as it had done for centuries. Everyone agreed. With March Madness approaching, we all take sides. Joe is a Purdue fan and Jill loves IU. OK. They must have their reasons. But what if Joe hates Jill for her transgression? And what if Jill works to punish Joe for his support of the Black & Gold? Take up arms! Buy profane T-shirts meant to offend! Cover the family wagon with bumper stickers, not in support of the home team, but in an attempt at bold affront to theirs! Jill will cheer for any team that is playing Purdue. Run them off the court! Joe feels the same, his hatred for all things Cream & Crimson fills his heart and the pages of his Facebook account. So, what of the “loyalty” to our fine state and to our fellow Hoosiers? Could we temper our contempt by constraining it to those outings where our team is confronted with them on the field? Do we have to express our animus endlessly? Sure, wave the flag for the alma mater. Yet, is their abject destruction really to our benefit? Shared power disrupts corruption. Absolute power, well, we all know the rest.

An introvert’s night out Commentary by Danielle Wilson Longtime readers will know that I fully embrace my introvert self. I take no shame in Irish goodbyes, consistently HUMOR decline social engagements and love few things more than reading a trashy Nora Roberts’ novel alone in the wonderfully reclusive confines of my bedroom. That said, even I am beginning to long for a return to the pre-pandemic days of restaurants and parties and people (please note that this wistfulness does not apply, and will never apply, to hugging, because that kind of personal-space invasion is downright loathsome). So, when my brother-in-law and his wife invited us for chili to celebrate Doo’s birthday, 80 percent of me was truly excited to go. Their entire household had already had COVID-19 at Thanksgiving. It was a Saturday and I literally had nothing else to do except grade history papers on the pros and cons of the ’50s. Blecht. Bring on the beans and chocolate cake!
Honestly, the evening was delightful. Besides the obvious benefit of having a legitimate reason to shower and apply mascara, I was able to engage in face-to-face conversations with real human beings and enjoy a hearty meal in a comfortable space that wasn’t my own house, classroom or minivan. Was I ready to leave a full hour before we actually did? Yes. Nine o’clock calls to me with the sweet voice of a lover regardless of my location. And was I utterly exhausted by the time we returned home? Of course. Social interaction drains me to my very core. But was indulging a brief return to normalcy worth it? Absolutely. Even this introvert is hoping for a swift end to isolation. Peace out.

Besides the obvious benefit of having a legitimate reason to shower and apply mascara, I was able to engage in face-to-face conversations with real human beings and enjoy a hearty meal in a comfortable space that wasn’t my own house, classroom or minivan.
Editor, I readily admit I hate wearing a face mask. It’s uncomfortable, unflattering and fogs up my glasses. However, I wear it because the alternative is worse — contracting COVID-19. From reports of family and friends who have had the virus, it’s nothing I or anyone else wants to contract. Most businesses these days require customers to wear a mask before entering. I’m learning that’s where the vigilance ends. Once inside the business, people pull their masks down under their noses, below their chins or remove them altogether, all with no impunity from the proprietors. Are people aware that they can breathe the COVID-19 droplets in or out through their noses? Why would anyone risk such a deadly disease in the name of fashion, inconvenience, or worse, political expediency? To everyone who cavalierly wears their mask where it will do no good, I beg you, pull up your mask! You will be safer and so will those around you. Pamela Jackson, Noblesville

Where, oh where, is the missing Tupperware? Being stuck at home due to COVID-19 creates opportunities to tackle household issues you wouldn’t normally HUMOR have time for. I spent some time last weekend arranging my shelved books in alphabetical order. The Dewey Decimal System was no longer working for me (if you’re under 50, please Google it). Mary Ellen had her own project. The annoyance could be ignored no longer: Most of our Tupperware lids didn’t fit or were missing. I knew there was a problem. Almost every leftover in our refrigerator is in a pastel-colored plastic container with a piece of Reynolds Wrap over it. I think this is the reason my mouth waters whenever I see aluminum foil. The lid dilemma is my fault. I always put the Tupperware tops in the bottom dishwasher rack, and an hour later the results look like a Salvador Dali clock. Years ago, a lady in Fort Wayne had potato chips that looked like famous people. One of our Tupperware lids looks like Mick Jagger.
Tupperware’s inventor made the same mistake the Heinz people once made. Not to mention the Bic Pen people. And many toothpaste companies. Tops should always be attached. I’m glad the people at American Standard attach the lid to the seat, or men like me who are always losing things would spend the first half of the day looking for the TV remote, then divide up the next 12 hours between the cellphone and toilet topper. “Mary Ellen, have you seen the lid to the toilet seat?” “Did you misplace it again? When was the last time you used it?” “This morning, after I brushed my teeth.” “Well, it must be there. Did you put it down somewhere? Never mind. You never put it down.” Back to my wife’s project of trying to match container parts. “Why are you even bothering, Mary Ellen? Just throw out the misfits. We’ll buy new Tupperware.” “Dick, what an odd position to take for a man whose bottom dresser drawer is storing 11 solo socks without a mate.”
ONE OF THOSE DAYS? HELP IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

(“Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.” — Mark Twain) “Mary Ellen, what’s that hint of orange in all these containers?” “That’s just marinara sauce stains that won’t come out.” “Well, if all those containers are stained and ugly, you really should throw them out. What good are they?” “Boy, that sock analogy still hasn’t sunk in, has it?” It reached the point where I couldn’t stand it anymore. The shuffling and rattling were disturbing my Sunday nap, so I marched into the kitchen. “Mary Ellen,” I implored, “can’t you stop this silliness for an hour and do something else?” She told me to put a lid on it.

All about wounds: The difference between acute and chronic Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan A wound can be categorized in two ways: acute or chronic. A specific event is usually the cause of an acute FOOT HEALTH wound, and this type of wound usually heals without delay. A chronic wound, however, is persistent. It can last a month or longer. Never delay your response to a wound. You should always seek medical attention if any of the following criteria are met:
• The wound is half an inch deep or deeper. • Bleeding persists after 20 minutes. • Blood flow doesn’t stop after applying pressure to the wound. • If you are diabetic, wounds can cause you to lose optimal circulation to your feet. When blood can’t reach your feet, it becomes challenging to fight off infections. The main goal of all diabetic foot care is preventing infections that could lead to amputations.
Wash it The first thing you should do after realizing you have a wound or ulcer is to wash the affected area. The key to thoroughly healing a wound is avoiding infection. Wrap it Once your wound has been cleaned, keep the area sterile by quickly wrapping it in a bandage. For diabetic foot ulcers, wrap gauze around your ankle and foot. Seek treatment The next step should be to call our of-
fice. Not all podiatrists are certified wound specialists. The sooner you have your foot wound assessed, the sooner you can heal. For the full column, visit youarecurrent. com.

MINDSET furniture showroom opens in Fishers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Mary Beth Oakes, mindset is key to any work space. Business Furniture and GROWTH Choreo has opened its third MINDSET, a showroom and design space, at 10610 E. 96th St., Fishers. The Fishers showroom, which is 3,000 square feet, opened Feb. 1 for tours by appointment and will hold its official ribbon cutting March 4. Oakes is the CEO and owner of Business Furniture and CEO and co-owner with Patty Clark of sister company Choreo. “The companies are complementary to one another in terms of what we do,” said Oakes, a Lawrence Township resident. Oakes has been with Business Furniture since 1992 and became CEO in 2015. Her husband, Dick Oakes, was the former CEO of Business Furniture and retired as chairman at the end of 2020. “In 2022, Business Furniture will celebrate 100 years in Indianapolis,” Oakes said. There also are MINDSET showrooms at the Indianapolis headquarters, 8421 Bearing Dr., and in Dayton, Ohio. “Our first thought is we want to shift the mindset of what people are thinking when they are trying to decide what they want to do with their workspace,” Oakes said. “For me, it started a couple of years ago when we had a client trying to build an innovation center. They filled it up with a lot of individual space, but they didn’t have a lot of team or collaboration spaces. The client said, ‘I wish we had taken more time to consider how people innovate together and include more of those spaces.’ Those individual spaces are critical, but also what is critical

is giving people spaces to come together with their colleagues.” Oakes said since the pandemic started in mid-March 2020, many people have gotten accustomed to working from home. “When they come back to the office, they want to come back to a space that offers them choice, variety, flexibility and control on how they work,” Oakes said. “That’s what we’re focusing on with MINDSET. You think about how somebody works from home, they could be working from a couch, they could be working from a bed or kitchen table. Over the past nine months, people have had flexibility in how they work.” Oakes said some people find working at home very distracting, so they want to come back to a place where they can do focused work. “The MINDSET space in Fishers is going to showcase space like that,” she said. “People are going to be wanting choices when they come back to the office. We also want the Fishers showroom to be a community space. Teams might want to come from the Fishers area and work in our space to inspire different ideas.

Masterson displays her versatility in Civic Theatre’s ‘Pride & Prejudice’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Carly Masterson is eager to show her skills pulling double duty in Civic Theatre’s producTHEATER tion of “Pride & Prejudice.” “I love being able to show my versatility when playing two different roles, especially at Civic,” said Masterson, who plays Jane Bennet and Miss De Bourgh. “Being in ‘Much Ado About
Nothing’ (in February 2020) and ‘Pride & Prejudice,’ I have found a lot of similarities between Hero and Jane. They are two women who fall in love at first sight and receive proposals. They each have their own unique personalities, but the similarities are uncanny, so when the opportunity arises to play another character who is the polar opposite, I am so excited. “Miss De Bourgh is the absolute furthest away you could get from Jane, and although she’s on stage for only a couple of scenes, they are the most fun.” The production of “Pride & Prejudice” will be streamed live from The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel at 7 p.m. on Feb. 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27. An on-demand option will be available for viewing starting Feb. 14. The production is Masterson’s second appearance in “Pride & Prejudice,” having performed in it at Ball State University. “While my best friend was cast as Jane, I was cast as her nemesis Caroline Bingley, another polar opposite of Jane,” the Carmel High School graduate said. “Caroline was snarky and crude, but Jane is kind, sweet and a great person to be around. Funny enough, Emily Rogge Tzucker, Civic’s director of ‘Pride & Prejudice,’ was the dialect and movement coach for that production. That was the first time we had ever worked together, and I am so glad I get to work with her again.” Tzucker also directed “Much Ado About Nothing” for Civic last year. “It was so nice to be in rehearsal with her again,” Masterson said of Tzucker. “She was my professor at Ball State, and it was so nice to be around someone who taught me so much. During my junior year, Emily’s class was the one where I finally gained confidence in my acting abilities. She is
a wonderful role model, and if she directs another show at Civic, you better believe I’m going to be in that audition room.” Megan Tiller, a Zionsville resident, portrays Lizzy Bennet. “Lizzy has been a dream and honor to bring to life,” Tiller said. “She beats to her own drum, despite what society expects and I really admire that.” This is Tiller’s first time working on “Pride & Prejudice.” “I love Kate Hamill’s adaptations of dramatic works and Emily Tzucker’s direction,” Tiller said. “I think our audiences will be surprised and tickled by this take on ‘Pride & Prejudice.’” Tiller, a 2016 Zionsville Community High School graduate, said she began her love for Civic Theatre through the Junior Civic Program and Act One in the fifth grade when Civic was located at Marian University. She then moved on to the Young Artists Program through high school. “During that time, I performed in over seven productions. ‘Pride & Prejudice’ marks my eighth show on the Civic stage, and I couldn’t be more excited,” she said. “I have been performing for as long as I can remember. I started out taking dance lessons at The Village Dance Studio, and the rest is history. I just recently graduated from Ball State University in the BFA Musical Theatre class of 2020. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.” Like the cast, Carmel resident Tzucker is glad to have a show despite having to wear face masks and practicing social distancing. “The challenges in no way match our excitement to bring our community a piece of theater during this unprecedented time,” she said. “We have worked hard to create a safe space for our actors and artists that will allow our TE audience to feel like they are in the theater. The cast is a fantastic group.” For more, visit civictheatre.org/p-and-p.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern Lake Clearwater kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Before
• Poplar cabinetry with smooth-front door and drawer panels give a modern vibe while showcasing the warmth of the wood grain; tabstyle pulls accentuate the sleek cabinetry. • A combination of cabinets and open shelves lets the homeowners choose what to display and what to store. • The quartz countertops give the space energy and movement. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling; email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. Visit caseindy.com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.
THE CHALLENGE Before purchasing this 1991 Lake Clearwater home, several interior updates were planned to fit the owners’ modern tastes. This is the final of a three-part series.

Norbulingka Institute: Tibet Comes to India Commentary by Don Knebel The Norbulingka Institute, near Dharamsala in northwest India, provides an opportunity to learn about Tibetan TRAVEL Buddhism and to see Tibetan artworks with their creators. In 1959, after an unsuccessful revolt against Chinese control, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, fled Lhasa, Tibet, with a small entourage. They settled in McLeod Ganj, a former British military town in the mountains above Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama, thought by Tibetan Buddhists to be the latest reincarnation of Avalokitevara, the bodhisattva of compassion, established a government in exile. Tens of thousands of Tibetan refugees subsequently settled in and around McLeod Ganj. In 1988, to provide employment for the refugees and to ensure the preservation of Tibetan artisanship, the exile government’s Minister of Religion and Culture and his wife founded the Norbulingka Institute, named for the Dalai Lama’s former home in Lhasa. In 1995, the Dalai Lama dedicated a site 10 miles southeast of McLeod Ganj as the Institute’s home. The 7-acre site now includes a library, offices, workshops and a temple, all built by Institute workers in traditional Tibetan styles. Today, the self-sustaining Institute employs about 300 artisans, creating religious statues and other works of art according to ancient and sacred Tibetan designs and proportions. Their extraordinary handiwork is evident in the temple, which features

a 14-foot-tall gilded-copper statue of the Buddha, the largest of its kind outside Tibet. The Institute contains Tibet’s only national museum, with 160 dolls in traditional Tibetan dress. Visitors can eat Tibetan food in the Hummingbird Café, purchase art in the showroom or relax in the Japanese-style garden, strung with Buddhist prayer flags. Those so inclined can spin the cylindrical prayer wheels flanking the entrance, each of which contains a Buddhist mantra. Buddhist tradition holds that spinning the wheel can have the same beneficial effect as reciting the mantra.
