Hamilton County health official: COVID-19 growth rate ‘what we’ve expected’ By AnnMarie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com As the number of COVID-19 cases in Hamilton County has grown from one on March 15 to 179 April 1, local health PANDEMIC officials haven’t been surprised. “It’s about what we’ve expected,” said Christian Walker, public health preparedness coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Dept. “In our county we did quite well to begin with, but we knew it was coming. While we didn’t have reported cases right off the bat, we knew it was lurking in the shadows. We knew it was only a matter of time.” The first case of COVID-19, caused by the new coronavirus, reported in Indiana was in Marion County on March 6. As of April 1, Hamilton County reported the third-most cases in the state, behind Marion County’s 1,117 and Lake County’s 180. Marion County has 1.18 cases per capita, with Lake County at .37 and Hamilton County at .55. Allen County, the state’s third-most populous county with 372,877 residents, has only 39 reported cases of COVID-19. Social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Indiana has led to the cancel-

lation of nearly all events and the closure of schools, many retailers and in-dining at restaurants. Yet, the documented cases in central Indiana have continued to grow by hundreds each day. Walker said it’s too early to know the true impact of social distancing on the local level. “It’s hard to tell right now because our data set (in central Indiana) is so small. If we look worldwide, we do see it working,” Walker said, citing South Korea as an example. “It’s kind of an all-or-nothing thing.” Walker declined to predict when cases will peak in Indiana, and he said he “can’t begin to guess when we can start lifting restrictions” here. But he said he’s heard from experts that under a best-case scenario, some aspects of life may be able to return to normal by the end of April. The health department, however, is preparing for it to be much longer than that. “We’re planning on it being a months-long event, hoping that it won’t be,” Walker said. “It’s better for us to err on the side of caution and over-preparedness than do it haphazardly and extend this by us not doing everything we could to quash it now.” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the

models he’s seen from scholars and federal officials have projected the first wave of COVID-19 in Indiana winding down by approximately May 1. “It’s not going to be (over by) Easter. That would be about the peak in Indiana, it would appear,” Brainard said. “We know from other epidemics they tend to come back in waves, but more people will have immunity at that point.” Walker said Hamilton County hospitals are adequately staffed and have enough supplies to meet demand for now, adding that the situation could quickly change. He said cancelling elective surgeries and cross training staff have helped hospitals be ready to handle more cases. The county health department has been preparing for pandemics for “at least a decade,” Walker said, and in August 2019 officials reviewed their highly infectious disease plan, not knowing what was to come. Walker hopes the good habits Hamilton County residents are stressing now, such as frequent hand washing, will lead to a drop in cases of influenza and colds in the future. “We’re going to have a new normal, which is going to be a better normal,” he said.

The 7 Way Hips exercise was designed by world-renowned speed coach Ryan Flaherty to help reduce risk of injury FITNESS and significantly impact the health of your hips, knees and back. Perform this exercise two to three times a week as a finisher for workout days or on your rest days. An instructional video by Flaherty is available on YouTube. Begin by laying on your side with your legs extended. Keep your top hip aligned directly over, or slightly in front of, the bottom hip. Use your top arm to support yourself by placing your hand on the ground in front of you. For all of these movements, keep your leg fully extended, reaching out as far as you can with your heel and your toes turned slightly toward the ground. The goal is to perform each movement for 15 consecutive repetitions and complete all seven without rest, though this will likely take time. • Leg raise — Raise the top leg toward the ceiling and then lower back to the starting position, about 6 inches above the ground. • Forward kick — With your heel about 6 inches above the ground, kick your foot forward while maintaining the straight leg position and then return to the starting position.

• Backward kick – With your heel about 6 inches above the ground, kick your foot as far back as you can without bending your knee. Don’t allow your top hip to move back behind your lower hip. Return to the starting position. • Pendulum kick – Combine movements 2 and 3 by performing the forward kick, but instead of returning to the starting position, immediately perform the backward kick. Your leg should swing like a pendulum. • Forward circles — Elevate your heel about 6 inches. This will be the bottom of your circle. Using your heel, rotate your leg forward. Imagine tracing a circle in the air with a 12-inch diameter. • Backward circles — Perform exactly as with forward circles but reverse the direction of your rotation. • Bicycle motion — Elevate your heel about 6 inches. Bring your knee up toward your head until it is even with your hips and allow the knee to bend. It should look as though you are pedaling a bicycle with long pedals. Return to the starting position and repeat.

Critical steps to protect health Commentary by Donna Schaibley Hoosiers across the state are finding themselves in unprecedented circumstances as they adjust their daily COLUMN lives to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Our state is taking essential steps to ensure our health care system has the resources it needs to fight this war against the coronavirus and keep Hoosiers safe and healthy. This ongoing health crisis has many workers bracing for a financial hit. Indiana cut red tape and removed barriers for Hoosiers so they can quickly obtain unemployment benefits to help bridge the gap in their personal budgets. Recently, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed an executive order waiving the one-week waiting period for Hoosiers to receive unemployment, which will help them get their money more quickly. A federal aid package will allow workers who are self-employed or independent contractors to receive assistance. It also extends the length someone can receive unemployment benefits from 26 to 39 weeks. To learn more or to file a claim, visit unem-

ployment.in.gov. Small businesses are critical economic drivers in our community. To provide them some relief during this time, these businesses are eligible for assistance through the U.S. Small Business Administration. To apply for loans, visit SBA.gov/disaster. These resources can help Hoosiers mitigate the coronavirus, but everyone can protect themselves and our most vulnerable by using good hygiene and practicing social distancing. You also can visit in.gov/coronavirus to find out more or call 877-826-0011 for general questions. This hotline cannot offer medical advice or test results. As we adjust to this evolving situation, I am confident Hoosiers will weather this storm. Indiana’s leaders are doing everything within their power to activate resources and protect Hoosiers. Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel) is a state representative representing House District 24, which includes parts of Boone and Hamilton counties.

County Crisis Response Fund. According to a press release, the flexible fund will provide much-needed resources to nonprofit organizations responding to the COVID-19 pandemic with essential services while they are experiencing financial challenges in meeting need. The foundation will issue quick-turnaround operating grants, which will focus on organizations that work with the elderly or infirmed, youth and economically vulnerable populations. Selection will be completed by HCCF staff and board in partnership with the Hamilton County Community Organizations Active in Disaster executive committee.

Community center, new stadium among Noblesville Schools’ proposed projects

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools is been long overdue for a new stadium. Built in 1969, BeaCOVER STORY ver Materials Field is frequently at or near capacity, especially for varsity football games. A needs assessment conducted three years ago identified the stadium as in need of more space, among other projects that needed to be addressed throughout the district. “The last two years we were doing things like roofs and HVAC and fixed the structures of our buildings. We spent two years doing that, and that’s what led us to where we’re at now doing some of the larger items,” Associate Supt. Dave Mundy said. “We’ve been working behind the scenes doing a lot of fixing, and now two focuses are coming out of the project. “Capacity for all programs and a place for

everybody is what we are trying to work on.” Without a new stadium, school officials were concerned a lack of seating at Beaver Materials Field will stop fans from attending games. The new stadium will seat up to 6,000 fans. Beaver Materials Field seats only 4,200. “We don’t want people to stop coming. We want our long-term supporters to have their seats, and we want our students to keep coming,” Mundy said. “Last year at homecoming, we were one step away from turning people away because of how big our crowd was and we don’t want that to happen. Also, our track program has done well, and we want to give them the best facilities we can. “We are really trying to find an area and home for everybody.” The plan is to construct a $14 million stadium behind Noblesville High School to be home to the band, track and football programs. Beaver Materials Field hosts football

games and track events, and if a new stadium is constructed, it will be home to the lacrosse and rugby programs. However, other programs will benefit from a new stadium as well. “We have changed to a higher level of band performances, and that adds to more need for space for practices,” Mundy said. “We would love to host some large band competitions and use both fields.” The new stadium should be open for the spring 2021 track season. The project is financed through a bond and is not using referendum dollars. School officials also said it will not affect the tax rate. “Our tax rate went down last year even with construction,” Mundy said. The stadium will go to bid this month, and then final approval will be granted by the school board to start building. In the meantime, some construction may begin on the new community center, to be built on Field Drive where the previous central office was. The facility will provide

space for alternative education for students ages 18 to 22 with special needs as well as host adult evening classes for non-English-speaking students to learn English. It also will have an indoor practice space and an area where the public can rent a larger room with a kitchen for meetings. The $6 million project should be complete by January 2021.

We have accumulated a lifetime of memories, mementos and talismans that can, in an instant, take us back to a long ago and far-away time. We humans are cursed by our longing. We miss those apart from us and places where we cannot be. It brings us worry, anxiety and, in some circumstances, it can drive us into depression. Even so, we are blessed by our ability to reminisce about our past and imagine our future. For many, the weeks of shelter at home have been extended. And for all, evenings, time away from work and weekends are now providing new hours at home. Pretty much everything except for the outdoors is closed. If our angst allows, we sleep a bit more. We cook, eat and clean up – together. We remember old habits or form new ones. We think about what we do and why we do it. Experts urge that some of the abundance of time be used to clean up around the house. One might suppose that they secretly want us to move around. The sedentary life of home-office work doesn’t allow for the lengthy walk to get coffee or park the car. Closets are being emptied. Old clothes are sorted for donation. Cabinets are cleaned and organized. Many will tackle the garage if we get a few steady days of warmer weather. But for others, we sort countless boxes of old photos to scan or assemble into books. In a world of social isolation, they remind us that we have been together and will be together again. They inspire us with past travel and spur us to believe we will travel again. They bring us together with people from whom we are separated. They bring perspective.

Rekindling warmth of family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s a COVID-19 miracle! After three weeks of self-isolation, the Wilson six-pack is still intact, and dare I say, thriving. HUMOR I’m not kidding. For some unknown reason, our little family is getting along better than ever, which is quite unusual given the circumstances. Typically, holidays and summer vacation are a nightmare. College kids return home, taking up space and air; dishes and denim debris multiply like fruit flies, which also generally make an appearance when the coping bottles of red wine start flowing; and the lack of schedule sends everyone, particularly me, into a crazed state, unable to function properly or be nice to anyone. What gives? Maybe it’s the shared sense of surrealness that has each of my darlings trying his/her best to be kind and helpful. Perhaps they understand they have no other choice and that Zoom conferencing with friends grows old after a while. Maybe they realize how lucky they are to be healthy and

safe, and that if we are to survive sans divorce or childhood emancipation, they have to rise to the occasion. And rise they have. They are complying with the newly resurrected, often-maligned Chore Chart. They take turns grocery shopping (their only “live” social interaction), making dinner and, most recently, giving presentations in the evenings on everything from the Denver Airport conspiracy theory (it’s the Illuminati!) to the 10 most controversial men of all time (Mother Teresa was No. 1!). I’ve even heard them laughing. Together. For real. And not at each other. So, for me, the silver lining in all of this is the renewed joy of family. Truly a miracle. Peace out.

So, for me, the silver lining in all of this is the renewed joy of family. Truly a miracle.

Editor, I’m usually a very healthy person. In fact, except for childbirth, I’ve never been hospitalized. So, a few weeks ago, I was dismayed to discover that I was sick enough to need surgery. The doctors and nurses at Riverview Hospital were wonderful and caring, but I cringed at every expensive test they ran. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my Medicare Advantage plan covered everything except a few hundred dollars. When I was working full time, my employer-provided health care would have only covered about 70 percent, leaving me to pay thousands of dollars. Without Medicare, I would be looking at soul-crushing debt. I hope our elected representatives in Washington, D.C., reject President Trump’s proposed budget cuts to both Medicare and Social Security. Those of us who paid into these systems for 50-plus years are indeed “entitled” to the benefits we were promised. It is not welfare. Pamela Jackson, Noblesville

Without Medicare, I would be looking at soul-crushing debt.

READERS’ VIEWS

U.S. Postal Service delivers Editor, Letter carriers are deemed “essential personnel” and will continue to deliver your mail and packages throughout these troubling times in our communities with the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19. The CDC has published the need to practice social distancing and remain 6 feet apart to help prevent the spread of the virus. This includes interactions with mail carriers in your community. We take great pride in serving our communities and we gladly accept our jobs being deemed “mission critical” where we will be working everyday throughout this pandemic. We strive to give you a sense of normalcy and hope you enjoy seeing your letter

carrier or the white trucks with the Eagle on the side in every neighborhood six and seven days a week. Now is the time to stay at home and allow us to bring much-needed supplies to your front door. Don’t get me wrong, some of us are a little worried about our own well-being and the well-being of our families when we return home each night. Please help us out and sanitize your mailboxes, door knobs and other objects letter carriers touch while delivering your mail and packages. This is for our safety as well as you and your loved ones. This is what we do and we deliver for you. Ronnie Roush, Branch 888 president, city letter carrier, Carmel

Improvements needed on 146th Street Editor, There is a dangerous stretch of road under the jurisdiction of Hamilton County, and as a candidate for county council, I plan to do something about it. A November 2019 study by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization revealed that four of the top two dozen “most dangerous” intersections in the Metro Indy area are on 146th Street. The specific intersections are at Carey, Gray, Hazel Dell and River roads. Not much attention has been given to this recent study, probably because it is nothing new. Local commuters and residents will tell you that 146th Street has been a congested nightmare for many years. As I talk to voters in our county, one of the top issues I hear about is traffic. I have heard from so many people who hate 146th Street

because it has become so congested and so dangerous at each intersection, and there are limited alternative east/west routes. As a resident of Hamilton County for more than 31 years, I have seen how smart, innovative solutions in intersection design on U.S. 31 and Keystone Parkway have helped drastically reduce fatal and personal-injury accidents. It is time to stop studying the issue and get the job done. I will support changes to 146th Street as long as it improves safety and traffic flow but also protects residential homeowners in the area. There is no time to waste. East/west connectivity is critical for our local economies. 146th Street is only going to get busier as we continue to attract more people and businesses to our community. Sue Maki, Carmel resident and Hamilton County Council candidate

Stutz artists Miles, Afshar share paintings in online open house By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Stutz Artists Association won’t hold its traditional open house this month, so it will do the next best thing: Hold ART an online event. Each day in April, a different artist will be featured, including Fishers resident Anna Afshar and Carmel resident Heather Miles, who paints under the name H. Ward Miles in the art world. A deciMiles sion hasn’t been made whether the Stutz Open House, which was set for April 24-25 in the Stutz Building and Arts Center in Indianapolis, will be rescheduled. The Stutz Artists Association’s social media channels will promote a daily featured artist that includes their works, biographical information and link to their contact details. Community members who want to participate can simply follow or like Stutz Artists on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The event is free for the public to click through and browse each day. “I love being at Stutz because of the history of the building. There is a special feeling when you walk into the studios,” Afshar said. “It’s a great community of artists and like-minded people. Stutz has a reputation in the city as some sort of art Mecca and great support of the public. Being at Stutz really skyrocketed my art business in the last two years. I love that there is great camaraderie among the artists.” Afshar, who has been painting for 20 years and has had a studio at Stutz for two years, paints a lot of watercolors, especially en plein air (on location) when she travels the world or around her home state of Indiana. “In my (Stutz) studio, I paint bigger watercolors on canvas as well as oils. Painting watercolor on canvas involves special preparation of the canvas,” said Afshar,

who has a small home studio where she paints most of her watercolors. Afshar, who was born in Russia and grew up in Lithuania, typically teaches monthlong stints in Germany two or three times each year. She hopes her May classes might be rescheduled. She lived in Germany for two years and developed a following. Afshar and Miles were co-chairs of the postponed open house. “Our success and livelihoods depend on how many people see our work,” Afshar said. “I’m sure our sales will be affected for a long time by the poor economical situation in the world.” Miles was a resident artist in 2018-19, earning a free studio for a year. That ended in July 2019, when she moved into a new studio. She said the online open house is a good way for artists to display their work. “This is the only way we can do it right

now, and I know I’m staying home and shopping or looking online,” Miles said. “So, it’s a good way for people to see Indianapolis-area artists.” Miles creates large abstract paintings. “I miss the studio, but I can be inspired by literally anything,” Miles said. “There is a lot of inspiration with what is going on.” Miles said the Stutz studio is a great place to create and sell her artwork. She was an arts teacher at Indianapolis Attucks High School for 16 years before becoming a full-time artist in 2018. “Since going full time, I got the mural at the Indianapolis Airport and I have made a lot of work and traveled all throughout the country,” Miles said. “It’s been better than I ever expected it to be. This year has been different with so many events having to cancel.” For more, visit stutzartists.com, annaafsharart.com and hwardmiles.com.

Patrons’ donations lift spirits By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com With so many performing arts organizations hurting with postponements because of the coronavirus pandemGIVING BACK ic, Civic Theatre Executive Director Michael Lasley is gratified with the community response. “We are so humbled and moved by the generosity of our patrons,” Lasley said. “I don’t mind saying that I have been moved to tears on more than one occasion thinking about our amazing supporters and their families. It’s because of these gracious people that Civic can weather this storm.” Civic Theatre’s “A Few Good Men” was set to start March 13 at the Studio Theatre Center for the Performing Arts, but it was postponed three hours before the curtain opened after Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb initially limited gatherings to 250 people or less. Civic’s production of “Matilda the Musical,” originally scheduled for April 24 to May 9, also has been postponed. Center for the Performing Arts President Jeff McDermott said the Center and resident companies have received thousands of dollars in support through ticket donations. “The performing arts world is deeply affected by this situation, but we know that’s true in every field, so it’s very gratifying to see our patrons supporting us and our resident companies in this way,” McDermott said. The Center for the Performing Arts is presenting an online series called “Interlude With Virtual Arts and Entertainment.” The twice-weekly collection is emailed to anyone who has bought tickets for a Center for the Performing Arts performance. It also is available on the Center’s website, the centerpresents.org. Civic Theatre is holding a weekly series of pop-up classes on its Facebook page at 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, so performers can continue honing acting, dance, art and theater skills from home. The workshops are free. Donations are not required to participate but are appreciated, according to a Civic Theatre press release. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Love wine? Join the club. Commentary by Elizabeth Morse A great way to explore your love of wine is to join a club. Many wine shops offer clubs that can WINEderlust be customized to the wine-lover’s tastes. 305 Wine Garage in Fortville offers the Garage Club starting at $30 per month. Each month, members receive an email letting them know when their credit card will be charged and when they can pick up their wines. You can choose from Garage Reds (two red bottles $40-$55), Garage Whites (two white bottles, though one might be a sparkler or rose, $30$45) or Garage Mix (one bottle of red and one bottle of white wine, $35-$50). Final monthly costs vary depending on the wine that is selected. Tasteful Times in Fishers offers several options, too. Its Wine Library Club has two levels. Volume I membership gets you two bottles of wine, hand-selected for your palate. Cost is $35 monthly. The other option is Volume L at $75 per month. This selection offers the highest level of personalized service and two bottles of pre-

mium wine geared toward your specifications. Both clubs also get you winery and winemaker information, tasting notes, pairing suggestions and a complimentary recipe — and two free tickets to TT Tasting events. Volume L gets you an invite to special Volume L tasting events, too. Goose the Market on Delaware Street in Indy offers a Wine of the Month Club. Choose from STRAIGHT UP at $34 per month, plus tax (one bottle each of white and red with a retail value of more than $39) and the MYSTERY, at $49, plus tax, which yields three bottles (one red, one white and one mystery bottle that is often wine but could also be a mixer, sake or beer) with a value of more than $54. A monthly email accompanies either membership and is full of pairing suggestions, winery and grape history, tasting notes and more. Cheers!

carryout. I tried the Meatloaf with a Kick, which is the daily special on Fridays and Saturdays. It’s a homemade meatloaf with a touch of jalapeño, smothered in beef gravy and served with a side of homemade mashed potatoes, green beans or your choice of vegetable and a roll. The meatloaf still tasted delicious when ordering carryout and eating it at home. I also tried the hand-pounded tenderloin ($9.95), a sandwich large enough for two meals. Order a petite version for $8.25. I topped my meal with a slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie ($3.95). To be honest, I ate the pie first. If you want to enjoy a home-cooked meal during your self-isolation experience, order it from Courtney’s Kitchen.

Thank you As people across America are encouraged to stay home, our dedicated doctors, nurses, caregivers and support teams continue to serve. They leave their families each day to ensure your loved ones get the compassionate, personalized care they have come to expect. For Ascension, this goes far beyond a job. It’s our calling. At care sites across the country — and online — we are here when you need us. Motivated by a Mission that goes back more than 200 years, we live out our calling to bring healing and hope to all, especially the most vulnerable among us. This need has never been greater than now. We continue to take every precaution to keep our community safe and well, all while caring for those who need us the most. In this way, we ensure that when this storm has passed — and it will — our community will be stronger for it. Together we stand with our care teams, and caregivers everywhere, who continue to give their all. We are grateful for your commitment, sacrifice and service.
