the virus and that the majority of its spread in the state occurred through shared housing and not in the community. As of May 27, the Indiana State Dept. of Health reported 32,437 total Indiana residents were known to have the virus. More than 41 percent of ICU beds and nearly 82 percent of ventilators were available. A total of 1,871 Hoosiers were confirmed to have died from COVID-19. Another 159 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record. And 235,333 tests had been reported to the ISDH. “This is a silent spread, and it can silently kill,” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said. “We have to understand that folks can be asymptomatic and not know that they are passing this on, not intentionally, for sure. But when you get into those large, confined gathering areas, that’s where we tend to see the spread occur. I would just continue to appeal to folks’ sense of civic duty, not just their personal responsibility, but how their liberty can impact someone else’s.” Unemployment On May 22, state officials revealed Indiana’s unemployment rate had increased to 16.9 percent in April. Previously an unemployment rate of 3.2 percent was reported in March. The U.S. unemployment rate was 14.7 percent in April. “This is the highest rate we’ve seen in Indiana since 1982, where it stood at 12.6 percent,” Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne said. “Our total private employment is down by 380,000 jobs over the month. Now, our private employment stands at 2,334,900.” Leisure, hospitality and manufacturing sectors were hit hardest, losing 194,000 jobs, Payne said. In the week ending May 18, state officials reported 30,311 initial unemployment claims. The pandemic’s peak, the week ending March 28, saw 139,174 initial unemployment claims filed. Claims have dropped every week since.

BCHD reports 14 new COVID-19 cases in 48 hours By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. reported 14 new lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 within 48 hours on May 21. PANDEMIC Department officials said most of the new cases were not traced to long-term care facilities. Claire Haughton, the department’s public health educator, said the cases “may indicate there is some person-to-person community spread going on in our community.” Testing has become more widely available in recent weeks. Indiana has 180 statewide testing sites, including one in Boone County at Lebanon Senior High School. “It’s safe to assume we’ll become more aware of new cases as it becomes easier for people to get tested,” Haughton stated. “Either way, as Phase 3 (of the state’s reopening plan) approaches and more places begin opening up, we really want to emphasize how important it is that we all continue to do our part to prevent the spread. Please

continue to wear face coverings while out in public, wash your hands frequently and cover your coughs and sneezes.” State officials have predicted COVID-19 cases will continue to increase as testing capabilities expand. On May 20, Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the state’s percentage of positive cases has decreased as testing has expanded. She said the state had seen about 15 percent of tests come back positive, and that number had dropped to about 10 percent after more testing sites opened. CVS is offering free drive-thru COVID-19 testing at locations throughout Indiana, including its store in Zionsville, according to the BCHD. Patients must register online at CVS.com. As of May 27, the Indiana State Health Dept. has reported 276 positive cases of COVID-19 in Boone County out of 1,963 total tests. The BCHD has reported 39 COVID-19 deaths in the county, including 34 in longterm health facilities.

ZPD chief announces organizational changes news@currentinzionsville.com Zionsville Police Dept. Chief Michael Spears has appointed Marius Klykken to the position of LAW ENFORCEMENT captain. Klykken, a 10-year veteran, will oversee patrol and support services for the department. Spears said the department had three police captains when he became chief in April. Spears said one of the captains oversaw “the bulk” of the police department, while another supervised one employee and another oversaw three employees. The consolidation of roles under one captain allows additional officers to return to patrol duties, Spears said. “My top priority is to ensure that we have a well-staffed field patrol within the police department,” Spears said during a virtual Zionsville Police Commission meeting. “That’s our fundamental responsibility. That’s our bread and butter. The other parts of the police department exist to support the patrol function, and the patrol function exists to support all of you. And without the sufficient staff in the field, it’s difficult to do that.” Mayor Emily Styron and other town officials support Spears’ emphasis on field patrol staffing. “I am proud of the Zionville Police Department and their commitment to put the needs and safety of others ahead of their own on a daily basis,” Styron stated. “Having our police out and interacting with the community is great to see, and I’m fully supportive of Chief Spears’ efforts,” Zionsville Town Council President Josh Garrett stated “I appreciate Chief Spears’ initiative. I’m looking forward to seeing these changes implemented,” stated Suzy Nagy, chair of the Board of Police Commissioners. Other changes within the department include the promotions of the following people to the following positions: • Elizabeth Frost, executive officer • Drake Sterling, administration section lieutenant • Adrian Martin, school resource section lieutenant

STAR Bank installed a drive-up ITM, which resembles an ATM. Users can have a real-time, face-to-face conversation with a STAR banker at the machine. Bankers can guide users through each transaction and answer questions about personal and business accounts. The ITM’s unique exterior, colored green and decorated with Zionsville logos, was designed by ZHS student Abbey Price and is the first ITM at any STAR Bank location that incorporates visual elements from the community where it is installed. The ITM is the first element of a complete bank branch to be placed inside ZCHS, school district officials said.

Park board approves contract for Big-4 Rail Trail extension news@currentinzionsville.com The Zionsville Parks Board has approved a contract with Rundell Ernstberger Associates for design services for the Big-Four Rail Trail south extension and RECREATION trailhead. Services for the trail include surveying, bridge structural assessments, preparation of all design and construction documents, permitting and construction bidding. The project includes widening and paving the existing trail pathway from the end of the paved trail section north

of the Starkey Avenue Bridge to the south end of the Rail Trail bridge over Eagle Creek (100’ Bridge). The project also includes a new paved path from the south end of 100’ Bridge to the existing paved path in the Vonterra subdivision. As an optional addition, the park board is considering the design and development of a trailhead at Zionsville Road. The trailhead would include restrooms, parking and trail connections to the new extension of the Big-4 Rail Trail. “This improvement and extension of our beloved Big-4 Rail Trail will provide connections for pedestrians, runners and cyclists between Zionsville Road, the planned

Overley-Worman Park, the existing Big-4 Rail Trail and the Village. And it will feature crossing the iconic 100’ Bridge,” Zionsville Parks Board President Tim Casady stated. The anticipated timeline for the implementation of Rail Trail improvements includes design and permitting completion this year, followed by construction in late 2020 to mid-2021. The estimated construction cost is approximately $585,000 for the Big-4 Rail Trail south extension and $636,000 for the Zionsville Road trailhead, plus any required land acquisition or necessary bridge repair costs.

were seeing seniors not only in our communities, but in the community at large, who were eager for social interaction as well as missing their routine workouts at local senior centers, the YMCA, etc. The idea was a direct result of wanting to help seniors fill that void during such a stressful time. “Participants who are used to in-person classes will recognize most of the moves we do in the video, with maybe a couple of twists and variations to keep them fresh.”

Inside the IEDC’s race to secure PPE for the state By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

In mid-March, state officials retooled agencies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 20, the Indiana Economic Development Corp. was tasked with procuring as much personal protective equipment, or PPE, COVER STORY as possible for the state. After the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, the world watched as PPE – respirator masks, gowns, face shields and other items – became scarce. Shipments from the world’s largest supplier, China, stagnated, and the U.S.’s national stockpile was depleted in the first weeks of the pandemic, leaving state governments scrambling to supply their hospital systems and health care workers with PPE. “When the pandemic began, the IEDC, because of our relationship with the private sector, and based on some calls we were getting and people we were working with, the governor’s office had asked us to take the lead on dealing with private-sector companies that wanted to help out during COVID-19,” said, Luke Bosso, the IEDC’s chief of staff. Since March 20, Bosso, 35, an IndianapBosso olis resident, has driven to his office, even though many municipalities and businesses were, or still are, temporarily closed. He still wears a suit, but for comfort, he has traded his dress shoes for a pair of Allbirds and ditched ties because, he said, “Ties carry germs.” Bosso arrives at his office each about 10 minutes earlier than pre-pandemic days because traffic has thinned. His phone begins to ring each day at about 7:45 a.m., which reminds him how many people have acquired his cell phone number during the pandemic. “The phone never stops ringing,” Bosso said. “The emails never stop. It’s amazing how many people are emailing about this.” Within the first handful of phone calls he made in March, Bosso said he realized the IEDC’s role during the crisis would have to change. “It became clear it was probably more important for the (Indiana State Dept. of Health) and the Dept. of Homeland Security to worry more about the crisis (and) worry more about the operations than it was for them to start vetting companies and whether or not they were able to provide good PPE,” Bosso. In March, the IEDC tasked employees with vetting poten-

tial vendors of PPE. It has since established a multitiered system to secure PPE as fast as possible while also verifying the integrity of the vendors it orders from. The process begins with phone calls. If the corporation feels confidant the vendor is a legitimate source, other calls are scheduled to start the procurement processes. “Usually, I come in during the end of the second or third call,” Bosso said. “I’ll deal with a business or a person and execute the order based on feedback we’ve heard.” Bosso often texts the IEDC’s chief administrative officer, Robert Paglia, 44, who now wears a uniform of revolving T-shirts and sweatpants as he works from his home in Marion County. Paglia is one of many other IEDC officials who work in the multitiered system. Paglia helps vet companies with Bosso Paglia while managing schedules and finances. He also has helped develop a template of questions for other employees to ask vendors during initial calls and tracks the corporation’s overall procurement activity. “Most of the folks that we’re interacting with are not typical vendors of the state, certainly not of the IEDC,” Paglia said, noting that the IEDC has worked with the state auditor to help vendors set up within 24 hours. Bosso said he contacts vendors on an almost daily basis to keep up with demand. If he’s notified of, say, a shipment of 4,000 protective gowns that are ready to be delivered, he immediately contacts the vendor to see if 4,000 more can be ordered. “You want to talk to the people you’re buying from,” Bosso said. “I tell people all the time (that) a thing I’ve learned during this is, if a deal was bad before COVID-19, then it’s bad now. Unless you’re talking directly to a manufacturer and getting some type of assurance that it’s a real deal, (then you don’t know) that it’s not some type of scam,

that you actually are buying from the factory.” Of particular concern are N95 respirator masks worn by front-line health care workers. The masks must protect wearers from at least 95 percent of airborne particles. Bosso and Paglia said N95 masks are the most frequently counterfeited items of PPE and require the most vetting. “Particularly if it’s something coming internationally, we have had a lot of samples sent to us, and I would say, more times than not, the samples that we get are not sufficient for what our needs are,” Paglia said. Because a number of PPE items are procured from foreign nations, such as China, the IEDC has designated employees to work overnight shifts to communicate with nations in other time zones, creating what Bosso and Paglia call “an all-hands-on-deck” response that often requires them to be available virtually any hour of the day and for designated IEDC employees to work overnight. As of May 22, the IEDC had received more than 14 million PPE items from the private sector. In total, it had commitments for more than 18 million items. “We are doing this because our front-line workers and our colleagues at (the ISDH) and our colleagues at (Homeland Security) and everybody working at a hospital, they’re doing it 24/7, so we are here to support them as best as we can, (working) as many hours of the day to get them the equipment they need,” Bosso said.

THE MARKETPLACE On May 6, the state launched the Indiana Small Business PPE Marketplace, an online resource for Indiana small businesses employing up to 150 employees in need of personal protective equipment, or PPE, during the pandemic. The marketplace is backed by the Indiana Economic Development Corp. The service was designed as a backstop for employers who can’t find PPE from traditional sources. On May 22, Luke Bosso, the IEDC chief of staff, said that more than 20,000 bundles of PPE had been shipped to Indiana businesses through the marketplace. This month, Bosso said 70,000 bundles of PPE will be shipped to businesses throughout the state. Bundles vary based on a business’ number of employees and specific needs. The most masks offered in a bundle are 150. Bundle options can be found at backontrack.in.gov/ppemarketplace.htm. Bosso said the marketplace was created to ensure Indiana businesses can reopen with the proper PPE to protect employees and customers. Kent Esra, co-owner of Cobblestone, a restaurant in Zionsville, said it was easy to place an order through the marketplace. He said he placed an order for the restaurant in less than 5 minutes online and received his order in less than a week. “It was real simple,” Esra said. “It wasn’t very substantial, but I understand they can’t supply everything to everyone. We went through it fairly quickly.” As of press time, the marketplace was free for businesses that qualify, but that is subject to change, according to the IEDC. “Any of the PPE we don’t have to pay for is better,” Esra said.

ESSAY

LETTER

Can’t or won’t?

Don’t blame Asian Americans

Commentary by Terry Anker Even as spring cleaning is well underway across this land of ours, so is the perennial challenge of how to adequately find equilibrium in the household division of labor. Laundry, lawn mowing, spider killing, meal preparation, planting and maintaining flowers, child care, earning a living to pay for it all and countless other chores befall us. We prioritize their importance, and our desire to do them, and plod along endeavoring to keep our lives moving in working order and, hopefully, improving. For some of us living alone, we are singularly responsible. But for many residing as families, each does a bit of every task. Mom works and so does Dad. Dad cooks and so does Mom. And for others, the labor is split along traditional ethnic or gender lines, by aptitude, by physical presence or by interest. We settle into our duties comfortably, occasionally checking to ensure that we are maintaining parity with our co-inhabitants. Is anyone doing too much or too little? For most, a good-natured equipoise is found. And if someone’s not pulling their weight, a bit of prodding will suffice. Alas, as with all human endeavor, some of us will seek to game the system. Advice is often shared, a few drinks in, at the bachelor/bachelorette party, such as, “Don’t let your partner know of your laundry acumen, lest you become the household expert — for life! They suggest, choose those things you want to do and feign incompetence for the rest. The occasional red sweater thrown in with a load of whites not only produces pink sheets but also becomes an antidote for ever having to do the laundry again. Serious questions about spousal manipulation aside, how much of our lives do we spend imitating ineptitude? How many of our claims of “cannot” are really that we “will not?”

Nothing to complain about Commentary by Danielle Wilson Current management recently joked that they missed the good old days when readers would complain about my HUMOR column. Alas, with kids mostly grown and out of the house, a job and husband I adore, and an almost total boycott of news outlets, I simply have less opportunity to make bad parenting decisions, judge other soccer moms and care about life as we know it. I also think I’ve become more patient as I approach 50 and understand that on certain things, what I say won’t make a hill-of-beans difference, anyway. So, yes, I could regale you with my thoughts on Stepford women who relish shaming anyone who’s not breastfeeding, staying at home or cooking only organic food (guilty on all three counts!). Or even better, I could discuss my views on the religious folks who like to badmouth those of us who don’t go to church every Sunday or participate in “small group.” But now that

I’m older and infinitely wiser, I realize supermoms are merely compensating for their own insecurities about motherhood and the devout are just trying to keep me from going to hell. Of course, if I wanted to really stir the pot, I could go on and on about the nightmare of a president we have, but what good would it do? His supporters are still going to vote for him in November and I’m still going to experience intense stomach pains when I accidentally hear about his latest idiotic tweet (Obama 2020?). See how much I’ve grown through the years? PTO volunterrorists, anti-vaxxers, global warming deniers ... you do you, people. I’m not one to comment. Peace out.

Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at info@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, President Trump’s attempt to shift blame for his administration’s tardy response to COVID-19 onto China has resulted in similar-minded politicians following suit. Yes, the virus originated in China, but that was due to the actions of residents of China. Unfortunately, because of Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, Asian Americans are now the targets of hate and retaliation, when they are as impacted as the rest of us. Blaming an entire race of people is not a recovery strategy, and our fellow citizens in Indiana and the U.S. are suffering because of this misplaced rhetoric. Here in Indiana, the most ludicrous claim belongs to Carl Brizzi, whose TV ads claim that Chinese nationalists are sneaking across our southern border with the intent of infecting as many people as possible with coronavirus. Running for public office should include facts and promises of future service, not conspiracy theories. I hope that Hoosiers are not fooled by these political candidates’ absurd claims, and that they vote for a candidate who is grounded in reality and will represent all of us.

Witham requires face coverings for entry news@currentinzionsville.com Witham Health Services has announced face coverings are required before entering any Witham Health SerPANDEMIC vices location. The policy began May 28. The restrictions are in effect for the safety and well being of patients and staff, according to Witham Health Services. Patients will continue to be screened upon entry using a screening questionnaire and temporal body temperature. No visitors will be admitted, with the exception of end-of-life

care, special circumstances and the Labor, Delivery and Post-Partum Unit, in which one predetermined visitor is allowed. Witham officials said they are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state guidelines. Services are available during the hospital system’s normal hours. Witham’s emergency rooms in Lebanon and Whitestown at Anson remain open 24/7 to treat emergent needs. Witham also offers virtual health care. The restrictions will remain in effect until further notice, according to Witham Health Services.

DISPATCHES Homemade face mask care — Homemade masks are definitely susceptible to viruses. Wearing a mask reduces the concentration of virus particles that can be inhaled from respiratory droplets, which in turn reduces the transmission of COVID-19, but masks can also carry the virus. The Centers for Disease Control recommends washing your mask at least once a day. Robert Amler, dean of the School of Health Sciences and Practice at New York Medical College and a former CDC chief medical officer, suggested washing your fabric mask after every use. And Emily de Golian, a board-certified dermatologist at Dermatology Consultants in Georgia, said masks shouldn’t be worn for more than 30 minutes because the dampness from our breath makes it less effective as a barrier against coronavirus transmission. It is important to note that detergents with bleach-like compounds or other active ingredients should be used when washing masks. Machine washing is optimal, and the material of your face mask will determine

the temperature of the water, at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Source: MSN.com How to prevent foggy glasses from face mask wear — Homemade face masks are becoming the norm as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the United States, with some states — namely New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and beyond — now requiring them in public. But if you are a glasses wearer, you may have noticed that wearing a face mask can cause your lenses to fog. There appears to be a simple solution. In a 2011 study by the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, researchers advised washing the glasses with soapy water “immediately” before wearing a face mask. After shaking off any excess water, “let the spectacles air dry or gently dry off the lenses with a soft tissue before putting them back on. Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn,” they wrote. Source: Foxnews.com

Christian band Holy Fire releases 1st single

Beef & Boards prepares for reopening

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Kelly Frank has always been a huge fan of 1980s Christian rock hair bands. So the Fishers musician MUSIC and his son, Travis Frank, who now lives in Los Angeles, were thrilled to perform as an opening act when bands Stryper, Petra and Whitecross performed in Rocktoberfest Oct. 29, 2016 at Old National Centre in Indianapolis. That led to more collaboration with some members of those bands, including Petra lead singer John Schlitt. Frank and his son formed a band, Holy Fire. The band released its first single, “Fool Runnin,” in April, which Frank wrote. “I’m hoping to do a complete album, but it’s taken us a year to get the first song on,” Frank said. “Depending what happens in the next couple months will determine if we ever get a whole album out. For us to continue to record, we’re going to have to go back to Tennessee to finish the rest of the songs.” Frank said the band intends to make a video, but those plans have been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. Frank said some songs are already written but the band needs time in the studio. “I’m taking things one at a time but it’s good to have something released,” Frank said. “I’m pleased with it and I’m ready to do another one.” John Schlitt sings the lead on “Fool Runnin” and John Lawry plays keyboards and produced the song. Frank and his son sing backup vocals. Lawry is a keyboardist for Petra. Travis Frank and Rex Carroll, who played for Christian rock group Whitecross, plays guitar. Bryan Cooley plays bass guitar. Petra drummer Louie Weaver was mostly used on that as a singer, but Frank said the band uses other drummers. Jason Siefert plays guitar and handles publicity for Holy Fire. Frank said Holy Fire is ready to do a show, but all the members have their own solo projects. Schlitt, 70, released a 10-song solo album called “Go” earlier this year. Prior to joining Petra, Schlitt was the lead singer for the

There is a definite buzz around Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. After suspending PERFORMANCE performances in mid-March because of gathering restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, Beef & Boards plans to present “Beehive: The 60s Musical” July 8 to Aug. 9. “The entire staff has Stark this cooped-up creative energy,” Beef & Boards owner Doug Stark said. “We’ve got to get back to singing and dancing and entertaining.” Stark said the reopening will be dependent on getting the green light from the guidelines by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. Beef & Boards has several safety measures planned. “I have always been a big fan of adapting best practices, adding a few of our own ideas and always try to follow (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines,” Stark said. Stark said Beef & Boards has installed UV lighting inside its air handlers to kill any viruses in the air. He said it will filter the air inside with an industrial high-efficiency particulate air filter between shows. Stations with hand sanitizer will be available immediately upon entering. The most noticeable change is Beef & Boards will not have its customary buffet but will deliver food to the table by wait staff wearing protective gear. “It’s totally new and uncharted territory for us,” Stark said. “We meet every week to review the new protocols. I know we will have some customers who will miss our buffet; however, we found it will be the safest environment for both our staff and customers to serve plated food.” Capacity will be limited to 250 people. Normal capacity is between 425 to 450. There will be a greater distance between tables.

rock band Head East, best known for the hit “Never Been Any Reason.” “I want to help John get out and promote his new album,” Frank said. “Stryper is releasing a new album this year. I just love the Christian rock music and sharing with the groups out there hammering away, sharing the gospel and their message.” Frank said he is looking for a venue where the band can perform a Holy Fire show with Stryper or Petra. “A lot of these musicians are with different bands,” Frank said. “The Holy Fire aspect of it would be bringing Travis in and we would do an actual show with our stuff. It’s more of trying to get the message out through the Christian musicians. When we get these guys together, we want to have these tunes that we can get up on stage and do.” Frank said he would like to hold regular

shows at a venue, perhaps a church, with central Indiana Christian musicians. “Maybe we would do workshops where musicians can share their craft,” Frank said. “During these crazy times, music is one of those things that can bring people together. We want people to get their message heard and out.” Frank said Schlitt, who overcame drug issues after leaving Head East and eventually turned to Christian rock, has a powerful message. “As a band, we want to tap into the testimonies of guys like John Schlitt and myself who are trying to share their message through music,” Frank said. “Our message is geared toward love God and love each other.” “Fool Runnin” is available on iTunes, Pandora and Spotify.

Fishers District mural installed By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers District patrons will begin to see public art pop up around their favorite businesses and restaurants as developART er Thompson Thrift announced the start of four outdoor mural installations within the mixed-use development. Fishers District is at 116th Street and IKEA Way. The first mural was painted by Nekoda Witsken, a Fishers resident and a Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate. The mural is at the Verizon Wireless store off IKEA Way and will measure 35 by 9 feet. It’s a bold, colorful design featuring the words “Thanks for Being Weird with Me.” “I grew up in the HSE Schools system, and one main thing about the community that stuck with me is it helped me feel vibrant and spirited and be who I am and embrace eccentricities to come together and make this whole being an artist thing a reality,” Witsken said. “The flower is symbolic of growing through the process, and sunflowers follow the sun with their face, and it’s an entrepreneurial idea – to pivot to what’s happening around you, so I threw it

Although the project began last year as Thompson Thrift Retail Group began working with Nickel Plate Arts and the Fishers Arts and Cultural Commission to select artists, the installation was pushed to 2020. Future murals will feature artwork by Dan Toro, from Laramie, Wyo., Megan Jefferson, Indianapolis and Travis Neal, Indianapolis.

Address: 8685 River Crossing Blvd., Indianapolis What to get: Truffle Collection Price: $21 to $86 Anna’s take: There are not many things better than chocolate in this world, and my favorite place to go for chocolates is DeBrand Fine Chocolates. If you’re local and ordering from DeBrand, make sure you select the Indianapolis location and not the store in Fort Wayne. DeBrand has a large selection of high-quality chocolate, but my favorite is the truffle collection. It varies in price depending on the size. The truffles are big, luscious, beautiful pieces of chocolate with varying flavors. My favorite is macadamia hazelnut, but the others also are very good.

I also sampled the DeBrand Sundae ($9.25) — a dark chocolate dish, vanilla ice cream and crispy peanut butter and tart raspberry sauce for toppings. I added whole roasted salted almonds, and they were delicious. No matter the season, DeBrand is a delicious place to visit. It is offering takeout orders during the pandemic.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updated ’70s Noblesville basement Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. Custom maple cabinetry in a beautiful smoke-colored stain was built to surround the TV in the living area as well as to provide functional storage in the office. 2. Oil-rubbed bronze decorative fixtures, including hardware, chandelier and sconces, beautifully complement the cabinetry. 3. In the office, the new built-ins were installed along one wall (they were previously in an L-shape), which provides a more open feel. 4. Luxury vinyl flooring in the gym is highly durable and provides cushion and warmth.

THE CHALLENGE Located in Noblesville’s North Harbour neighborhood, this home was built in 1976. The homeowners wanted to update the look and feel of their mostly finished basement, which includes a living area, bar and home office. They also wanted to transition a portion of unfinished basement space into a home gym.
