cases. Box previously said all individual schools would be “strongly recommended” to submit its number of cumulative COVID-19 cases, unless a school has less than five cumulative cases, to be reported on an online dashboard available to the public on coronavirus.in.gov. Box estimated 60 percent of the schools listed in the survey have responded to the data request. Each school was asked to report its historical COVID-19 data dating to the start of its academic year by Sept. 20. Schools that fail to submit data will be listed as not reporting. Box said that she might consider requiring all schools to report their data if a significant number do not do it willingly. Pilot testing of the portal was set for last week, and Box said she hoped to have a snapshot of the data this week. She said the state planned to present preliminary data by Sept. 30. The trend of an increased percent of child and young adult COVID-19 cases happens as community spread in the state might be slowing, according to state officials. On Sept. 16, the state’s seven-day positivity rate they reported at 4.7 percent. A 6.2 percent cumulative rate also was reported. On Sept. 2, state officials reported a seven-day positivity rate of 7.2 percent and a cumulative positivity rate of 8.8 percent, marking a 2.5 and 2.6 percent reduction, respectively. According to an Indiana hospital census, 809 Indiana residents were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Sept. 14.

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.

Ivy Tech Hamilton County to become a full campus By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com On Sept. 15, Ivy Tech Community College announced it will transform its Hamilton County site in Noblesville EDUCATION into a full campus. It will open July 1, 2021, as Ivy Tech Hamilton County. Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann said becoming a campus will allow the community college to conduct a national search for a chancellor. The new campus also will offer expanded programs to fit the workforce in Hamilton County. “Now recognizing that Hamilton County is the fourth-largest county in the state of Indiana, and the fastest growing and, oh, by the way, the only of the top five counties in the state that does not have a dedicated, true campus for Ivy Tech, we thought with the great progress that has been made, the more than 1,200 students that are here today and the great partnerships that have begun, it’s actually time for it now to spin out and become its very own campus,” Ellspermann said. Transfer degrees in business administration, liberal arts and general studies are offered at the Noblesville site, along with a building construction certificate and other certificates. “Those are most of the programs here, and you can start programs here but probably you would finish many of them in Indianapolis today,” Ellspermann said. “We think at the size, the scale we have achieved already, you should be able to have more programs of your own that align to the needs of industry here.” Ellspermann said some of the new pro-

grams may include transfer degrees in psychology, biology, education and certificates in software development and cloud computing, among other disciplines. Ivy Tech Hamilton County will form advisory boards focused on industries in the county to see if they align for associate degrees or certificate programs through the new campus. “That’s the true opportunity that’s going to happen here is, at a much more granular level we will be able to stand up what you need,” Ellspermann said. Ellspermann said she expects the new programs to have a STEM focus. “We struggle sometimes with the trades and different educational things that just are tied up right now. They are at their wit’s limits,” county commissioner Steve Dillinger said. “I think the things this will afford Hamilton County will help the entire county, and we couldn’t be happier. To me, Ivy Tech is a dream come true for Hamilton County.” For more, visit ivytech.edu.

BACKGROUND: Ben Weidner of Zionsville tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his knee in February 2020 while playing basketball. A longtime athlete in soccer and basketball, he played competitively for Zionsville Community High School and for elite travel teams. He sought treatment from Methodist Sports Medicine Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Thomas Klootwyk so that he could get on the road to recovery and resume playing the sports he loves. Dr. Klootwyk did surgery in March to repair Ben’s ACL. Ben then went through various stages of rehab at MSM at the Grand Park Clinic in Westfield, and is now on track to resume athletic participation at DePauw University as a dual sport athlete in soccer and basketball.

THE RECOVERY: “Ben was an exceptional patient to work with! He had an unbelievable work ethic and motivation to better himself every time he came into the clinic. He always wanted to be pushed to his limits and he Nick Chandler, DPT wasn’t afraid to leave everything he had in the weight room or on the turf. He was one of those types of patients that physical therapists love working with!” – Nick Chandler, Doctor of Physical Therapy, EMethodist Sports Medicine

At the turn of the 21st century, the Republican Party’s proud legacy of environmental leadership ENVIRONMENT took a backseat to the boisterous voices of the liberal, activist class in climate-policy debates. In recent years, however, coalitions of young conservatives in Indiana and across the nation have cultivated grassroots support to reclaim that legacy and address the climate crisis with a plan that works for the environment, the economy and the American people. That idea is the Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan, which proposes a unique solution that would roll back regulations and put money where it belongs — in the pockets of every American reading this. Critical to this is a fee on the carbon emissions of fossil fuel companies that would be rebated directly to Americans in the form of a quarterly carbon dividend. The vast majority of Hoosiers would receive more from their rebate than they would spend in increased annual household expenses. This plan, uti-

lizing fundamental principles of capitalism, also would put the United States in a global position of environmental leadership without crippling us with bureaucratic red tape and unending debt on future generations. It also would reduce the outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs by assessing a fee on imports from countries that are not doing their part to reduce carbon emissions. American innovation has allowed our nation to flourish, but it also has required of us leadership. A free market-driven carbon dividend plan would unleash further innovation and lead to a cleaner and more robust economy by eliminating the need for overbearing regulatory schemes. Learn more about this approach on Sept. 22 at 5 p.m., when Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends joins the IU McKinney School of Law’s Federalist Society and Environmental Law Society for a virtual debate.

Fishers Rotary gets grant to build more wells in Sierra Leone By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The Rotary Club of Fishers got another boost in its mission to provide clean water to GIVING BACK Sierra Leone. Valory Myers, a past president of the Rotary Club of Fishers, said the group was recently awarded a grant from the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International of $290,600 to fund the drilling of 25 water wells across Sierra Leone in different communities in the African nation.

“It is also to coordinate their water ministry, which is their government agency that is responsible for sanitation and doing the maintenance training,” she said. “Part of this grant is to build a water storage tank that provides piped water to a community near the capital of Freetown.” Construction of the wells and water storage tank should begin in September, Myers said. Myers, who has been to Sierra Leone three times, said the Water is Life project was started in 2008 by the Rotary Club of Fishers. For more, visit fishersrotary.org.

Getting prompt ER care for a stroke can mean the difference between disability and recovery ERs deliver stroke care, with safety precautions in place When David Wegener couldn’t hold his coffee cup one morning, he knew something wasn’t right. It never occurred to him he might be having a stroke.

in providing advanced imaging and treatments for complex strokes. This type of highly specialized stroke care is shown to help lead to better recovery for patients.

Fortunately, David decided to go to an ER at an Ascension hospital. A neurologist looked at his CT scan using specialized software and determined the right treatment within two minutes. David was transferred immediately to a Comprehensive Stroke Center for a procedure that not only saved his life but also prevented long-term damage.

“Timing is critical in treating stroke,” said Daniel Sahlein, MD, Neurointerventionalist. “Delaying care, even by a few minutes, can be the difference between recovery and permanent disability.”

Don’t postpone emergency care for stroke symptoms Emergency rooms across the country are reporting fewer cases of strokes and heart attacks. But these critical events are still happening.

“Our ERs are fully prepared to offer immediate care for the entire family, and are open 24/7 with labs and imaging on-site,” said Jonathan Nalli, Senior Vice President, Ascension, and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension St. Vincent. “And because we’re more than emergency care, we’ll help you schedule follow-up appointments, so it’s one less thing to worry about after you return home.” Avoiding care can make recovery more difficult. For example, if a patient receives hospital care within three hours of the first symptoms of an ischemic stroke, a clot-busting medication may be given. Patients who receive this medication are more likely to fully recover and avoid suffering long-term disability. Larger strokes can often be treated with a minimally invasive clot extraction procedure, performed only at select hospitals, including Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.

Recognize the symptoms of stroke The first step in getting treatment for stroke quickly is recognizing the warning signs. These include: sudden loss of balance, lost or unclear vision, face drooping or uneven smile, arm weakness, and speech difficulty. If you see these signs, call 911 right away.

Strong precautions to protect patients and caregivers Many people have put off care recently because they may have been reluctant to visit a medical facility, with concerns about exposure to coronavirus (COVID-19). Ascension St. Vincent is screening staff and caregivers, providing masks to all who enter its hospitals and ERs, and rigorously cleaning and disinfecting all areas in its facilities. Ascension is committed to balancing care with caution to help protect all who enter its sites of care. Even when the need is urgent, Ascension St. Vincent care teams focus on providing compassionate, personalized care at every step. Talking about the signs and symptoms of a stroke with your family, friends and loved ones, and why it is important to seek ER care quickly, can save lives and help improve recovery.

If you or a loved one is experiencing stroke symptoms such as sudden loss of balance, lost or unclear vision, face drooping or uneven smile, arm weakness, or speech difficulty, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Find emergency care at Ascension St. Vincent ER at GetStVincentCare.com

MADAM BREWMASTER

Scarlet Lane owner wants to inspire other women brewers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Eilise Lane’s love of craft beer brewed into a passion when she lived in Eugene, Ore. “I had such a great time learning about the styles and getting involved in the scene,” said Lane, CEO and head brewer for Scarlet Lane Brewing Co. in McCordsville. “One day I was out having a beer and asked if the brewer was around, and they said, ‘She’s not here.’ Hearing the ‘she’ kicked something in my brain, because every other brewer I met had been the standard brewer’s stereotype, it’s a guy with a beard. “At the time, I was working a corporate job where my soul was just deflated. I was just not happy at all.” After hearing about the female brewer, Lane purchased a craft beer home kit. “I loved the science and the artistry to it,” Lane said. “It was just fantastic.” Her hobby grew to the point that she filled her garage with brewing equipment to improve fermentation. “My parents and my husband were at my house one day when I was brewing, and they said, ‘This is the first time we’ve seen you smile,’” Lane said. “They said, ‘You haven’t been happy, and now you are really happy whenever you are doing this at home.’ I decided I was going to leave behind the security of what my corporate job was offering me and went back to school for fermentation sciences.” Only one other woman was in her class of 50 at the American Brewers Guild in Vermont. Lane has Indiana roots, having been born in Greencastle. She graduated from North Putnam High School and Butler

University. Lane said she saw how craft breweries thrived in Oregon, creating jobs and spurring tourism. “Since we had been out living near my parents for a while, we talked about coming back to live where my husband’s parents were from,” said Lane, who worked for two breweries in Oregon. “We decided to create a location where we could become everybody’s living room. That’s how Scarlet Lane was created — good beer and everyone hanging out in the living room.” Lane launched Scarlet Lane in 2014 with an emphasis on stouts, Northwest IPAs and pale ales. Lane likes working

honey into specialty beers, including the Helter Seltzer Honey. Besides McCordsville, there are three Indianapolis locations and one in Beech Grove. Lane’s husband, Nick Servies, works in another field but helps Scarlet Lane with marketing and business matters. Scarlet was the name of the couple’s dog. “Scarlet had a lot of health problems but she fought and fought, and she was just the happiest little girl,” said Lane, who lives in Broad Ripple. “She made the best of every situation. She passed away during the creation (of the business) in 2013.”

CHANGING PERCEPTIONS One of Eilise Lane’s missions is to get other women involved in the brewing business. Eighty-five percent of her leadership team is female. Camille Hull, the brewery’s inclusion and diversity coordinator, said her role involves cultivating an open and inclusive culture. “Just as Eilise has been a mentor to myself, the goal is for me to provide mentoring opportunities to others within the company,” she said. “I will also be continuing education opportunities through internships and external workshops.” Hull said part of her job is changing the perception that brewing and beer are male domains. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hull said she and Lane had planned a number of fun and empowering events at the brewery that had to be postponed. “We both hope to move forward and build on those plans next year,” Hull said. “We also have wonderful partnerships with multiple female-led groups, such as Girls Pint Out and Pink Boots Society that we will continue to support and work with.”

Hull, who has worked for Scarlet Lane for 4 1/2 years, also is in charge of the brewery’s social media platforms. Hull said the majority of people she interacts with are female. “It’s exciting to see the awareness and excitement from women has increased,” Hull said. Hull said Lane being a female brewer and owner encourages men and women to give Scarlet Lane a try. Hull said she became a beer lover when craft breweries first became popular. “Unfortunately, that accessibility doesn’t always come with an open mind,” Hull said. “I’ve experienced sexism on more than one occasion when it comes to my beer choice versus the perceived beer choice. I have definitely wanted to change the perception of the female beer drinker and that IPAs or stouts aren’t just for men and neither is the brew deck, or any position in the production facility. “Entering this industry can be a bit intimidating as a woman. We want to change that and help beer evolve with the times.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Wimpy promises

Voice your concerns

Commentary by Terry Anker Trust me, “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” or so said Mr. J. Wellington Wimpy, the erstwhile intellectual, well-educated romantic who had a prominent role in E.C. Segar’s 1931 comic strip “Popeye.” Many of us grew up with the common-man, spinach-eating namesake of the comic strip sailor and learned countless lessons. Including — stand-up for what is right. Treat your partner well — even if Olive Oyl didn’t always seem it, she is worthy. We are what we are — don’t be anything but ourselves. Eat right and be strong and ready for whatever life presents. And in the case of the profligate Wimpy, beware of the charming influence of well-intentioned elites. In the heights of Depression-era politics, one can only imagine Segar’s boldness in standing against the increasing debt and public works that had been promised by Washington to be paid on “Tuesday.” By the time Fleischer Studios began producing cartoons of the strips, Wimpy had been minimized from a major to a minor character. The production company found him too cerebral for the common viewer. Still, the portly Wimpy, with his penchant for grand promises and an overwhelming need to feed his addiction, cautioned against the prevailing winds of the time. Remember, someone eventually pays. Fleischer Studios collapsed by 1941 because of a series of cost overruns and mismanagement but had capitalized on a license for the Superman cartoons. Supported by truth, justice and the American way, the sibling-owned business had left its mark on our collective memory. By the 1980 theatrical live-action movie release of “Popeye,” Wimpy was back. A different president was in the White House and the caricature of the bloated bureaucrat had returned. In a “Popeye” today, would Wimpy make the cut?

Funny thing about sadness Commentary by Danielle Wilson Grief is a funny thing. And I mean that quite literally. This summer was my first real experience with grief, HUMOR as my father passed away a few weeks ago from cancer. I expected the deep sadness. I expected the intermittent bouts of anger. But what I did not anticipate, and what I am so thankful for, was the laughter. In the last hours of his life, with both his mind and body shutting down, and in the first few days afterward, I was truly taken aback by the number of moments I shared with my mom and sisters that included side-splitting bouts of laughter. Whether from recalling a memory from our childhood — the time Dad caught me sneaking in from a date past curfew and pulled the perfect guilt-trip move of uttering only, “I hope you enjoyed yourself,” or lightening the emotional mood with medical hijinks (plotting to save the narcotics before the hospice nurse

confiscated them), happy tears flowed right alongside the sad ones. I am not comfortable crying in front of others, even family, and my usual MO is to suppress all feelings until I can reach the safety of my minivan or bedroom. I know it’s not healthy, as evidenced by the number of binge-eating sessions where I scarfed down lasagna and banana crème pie straight from the pans. But cracking inappropriate jokes and reenacting comical Depends-changing scenes I can do. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that being able to express the pain of losing someone close through laughter has probably saved me 10 pounds and an ulcer. Grief, thank goodness, is a funny thing. Peace out.

Editor, George Rose’s letter that was published Sept. 8 was astonishing in its naivete. I agree that violent protests will not accomplish the intended goals of police reform, but Rose’s suggestion is to stop all peaceful protests and write letters to the president or our congresspersons. Imagine what would have happened if someone had said to Dr. Martin Luther King, “Time to stop the marches and peaceful protests. Just write a letter to the president and I’m sure he will grant you equal rights.” The only way anything has ever been accomplished in this country is if enough people get fed up and take to the streets, peacefully, to voice their concerns. It’s a fact that our fellow citizens of color are being disproportionately killed and incarcerated by over-zealous police and court systems. I admire those people of all backgrounds who are fighting for change. By the way, I am a white baby boomer. Pamela Jackson, Noblesville d

Breakfast and lunch have not been as busy during the week,” said Christen Angermeier, Hotel Carmichael’s restaurant manager. “It’s overlooking the gardens Angermeier at the Palladium, so it’s a really nice spot for dining out at the patio.” Angermeier said when making reservations, she suggests including if your preference is outdoor dining. Avocado toast and croque madame have been brisk breakfast sellers. “An omelet where you can choose your own fillings has been popular as well,” Angermeier said. For lunch, the turkey BLT and steak sandwich are requested often. “As far as salads go, we have a delicious tuna Nicoise salad and roasted beet salad as well,” Angermeier said. Angermeier said popular appetizers are gratinee Carmichael, French onion soup and Brussels sprouts and scallops provencal. Popular entrees include Wagyu beef medallion and roast duck chasseur. “I don’t think it’s unapproachable,” Angermeier said of the price range of entrees from $28 to $36.

She previously was the general manager at Cake Bake and the Cunningham Restaurant Group. Angermeier said the dining capacity was supposed to be 100 inside and 25 outside. With the social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she said the average is 50 to 60 inside and outside. “We decided to move some tables outside, and there are a few tables we are not

Big Woods Hazel Dell

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14741 Hazel Dell Crossing, Noblesville What to get: Mac ‘n cheese Price: $11.95 Anna’s take: Big Woods Hazel Dell has a plethora of menu items, with a variety of foods. Its focus isn’t simply burgers or pasta. It offers something for everybody. I tried the mac ‘n cheese, a big bowl of trotolle pasta with smoked gouda, mozzarella, white cheddar, provolone and aged parmesan. It’s topped with roasted garlic-infused breadcrumbs. I added jalapeños for $1.95 and bacon for $2.45. For an appetizer, try the blackened chicken egg roll ($11.45), served with curry honey mustard, or the signature pulled pork nachos ($9.95). If pasta isn’t your thing, give the candied

Add jalapeño and bacon to Big Woods’ mac ‘n cheese dish. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

bacon bomb burger a try for $14.95. It’s topped with house-candied bacon, caramelized onions, garlic aioli, arugula, balsamic glaze and white cheddar. Big Woods also offers pizza. I tried the chicken cordon bleu, which has grilled chicken, diced ham, chopped bacon, smoked gouda and a mozzarella cheese blend in an Alfredo base. Suggested pairings: Try the Smoked Brown County Old Fashioned for a beautiful fall drink featuring Knob Creek Rye and garnished with a toasted marshmallow and Luxardo Cherry.

Behind bars: Frisky Whiskey Tea Get it at Big Woods, Noblesville Ingredients: 2 oz. Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey; 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup; 4 oz. iced tea; 1 lemon wedge; 1 mint sprig Directions: Add iced tea to a 12 oz. highball glass and top with ice. Pour bourbon and maple syrup into glass and stir for eight seconds. Add lemon wedge and drop in the mint sprig.

Blueprint for Improvement: A better floorplan in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

THE CHALLENGE

1. Previously, three small pantry closets were accessed via a small hallway behind the kitchen. Now combined into one space, the pantry is accessible from the kitchen through an opening hidden behind the cabinetry. 2. The kitchen was enlarged, and the location of the appliances were rearranged for a more efficient flow and improved functionality. 3. A beam was added to provide structural support in lieu of the removed pantry walls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a beautiful new focal point.

FROM CIN

The owners of this 1995 Zionsville home had listed it for sale last year. Potential buyers kept giving the same feedback: The first floor layout was disjointed. The homeowners realized they felt the same way, so they took it off the market and made some big changes to make the space work better for their family.

Both Christians and Muslims believe that God took Jesus bodily to heaven, from which TRAVEL he will return. Visitors to Jerusalem can visit two structures commemorating that “Ascension,” one that mimics a structure commemorating Muhammed’s own ascension to heaven. The New Testament suggests that Jesus was carried into heaven at Bethany, a village on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. However, beginning in the fourth century, the Ascension became associated with a rock on the western slope of the Mount of Olives, said to contain the right footprint of Jesus. A series of small churches was built over the rock, the last one by the Crusaders. When Muslim forces under Saladin Church of the Ascension in Jerusalem.
