testing sites in 80 percent of the state’s 92 counties. In Hamilton County, there is an OptumServe testing site in Noblesville at 400 Lafayette Rd. Another is in Boone County, at the Boone County Fair Grounds in Lebanon. Scheduling is required. To schedule an appointment, call 888-634-1116. Children younger than 12 years old can now also be tested at the sites, Box said. “Any Hoosier can get tested, period,” Box said. To view Indiana testing sites or to schedule an appointment online, visit the state’s online coronavirus dashboard at coronavirus.in.gov. State officials also announced an additional feature will be added to its online coronavirus dashboard. The dashboard will include breakdowns of COVID-19 positive cases by Zip Code. But Box warned there are some limitations to the new data. “If there are fewer than five cases in a Zip Code, or if a Zip Code has a population below 1,500 people, the counts will be suppressed,” Box said. “Some Zip Codes have no cases. Zip Codes often cross county lines, so Zip Code counts won’t align with county-level counts in most cases.” Data presented June 12 from the Indiana Health Information Exchange, analyzed by Regenstrief Institute, an Indianapolis-based research institute, shows 37,694 distinct patients have been diagnosed with the disease since March 1, a conservative calculation that excludes positive cases reported directly to the Indiana State Health Dept. Of the 37,694 patients, 9,691 (26 percent) visited an emergency department, and 6,314 had been hospitalized (17 percent). Of the 6,314 who were hospitalized, 1,345, (21 percent) were admitted to an intensive care unit, 73 percent of which were discharged, and 8 percent were “likely still hospitalized.” The institute calculated 18.6 percent of hospitalized COVID-19 patients were known to have died of the disease. As of press time, the ISDH reports 39,146 cumulative Indiana COVID-19 cases and 2,214 known deaths from the disease. The ISDH estimates another 182 are likely to have died from the disease, although no positive test is on file.
“We recognize that this is a significant change from our focus on high-risk individuals who are symptomatic, but our testing capacity has improved significantly since the start of this pandemic, and we want Hoosiers to take advantage of that,” — Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box

July 4 fireworks show still on By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the community will still be able to view the annual Zionsville Lions Club Fourth of July fireworks display. CELEBRATION Attendees, however, won’t be able to take part in the carnival that typically accompanies the celebration. “While this year’s event will look a little different, we know this long-running event is something residents look forward to year after year,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated. The Zionsville Lions Club will display fireworks at 10 p.m. from Mulberry Fields, with support from Partners in the Park and in conjunction with the Town of Zionsville, Zionsville United Methodist Church, Zionsville Community Schools and Maplelawn Farmstead. Steve Gayheart, chair of the display, said the community partners wanted a large, open-seated venue, and Mulberry Fields is a central location where residents can still find seating and socially distance. Parking and viewing areas open at 8
p.m. Guests are invited to watch the fireworks from areas surrounding Mulberry Fields. Viewing areas include Maplelawn Farmstead, Zionsville United Methodist Church (parking available), the baseball fields southwest of Zionsville Middle School (parking available), Zionsville Community High School (parking available) and Mulberry Fields (limited viewing area). Parking also is available at Pleasant View Elementary and Jennings Field. During the event, parking will be limited. When possible, guests are asked to bike or walk to a viewing location or watch from their home. Attendees may not park on the street. There will be no public restrooms or food service. Smoking and alcohol are prohibited. Guests cannot set off their own fireworks and are asked to leave pets at home. Residents who live near Mulberry Fields are encouraged to view the display from their home if open seating is not amply available. “Mulberry Fields will provide a great backdrop for spectators to social distance and remain safe during this fantastic local tradition,” Styron stated. A rain date is scheduled for Monday, July 5.

Riverview tests for antibodies Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com I recently heard Riverview Health Emergency Room and Urgent Care at 9690 E. 116th St. in Fishers began PANDEMIC offering COVID-19 antibody testing to the general public, and Riverview staff were open to allowing me to take the test and write a firsthand account of my experience. Although there are no FDA-approved COVID-19 IgG antibody tests, the FDA has authorized the tests under the Emergency Use Authorization because the tests meet specific criteria. The Riverview test determines if an individual has been infected with the disease with 88 percent accuracy. Essentially, IgG is the body’s memory of how to fight an infection. I received my test results the next day and was negative for the virus. The test took about 30 minutes. Riverview screens each patient prior to testing. Appointments aren’t required, but pre-registration is available at eruc.riverview.org/pre-register/. Patients will be charged an urgent care fee for the testing.
Zionsville completes study, focuses on action plan news@currentinzionsivlle.com

In-network insurance providers include Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Encore, Healthy Indiana Plan, Humana ChoiceCare, Sagamore, SHO Direct, Tricare and United Healthcare. Often, insurance providers waive the co-pay, but patients are encouraged to contact their provider prior to receiving the test. Riverview Health Emergency Room & Urgent Care Fishers is open for the antibody testing from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
After the completion of a study of greenhouse gas emissions, Town of Zionsville officials announced they CLIMATE will spend the rest of 2020 CHANGE developing a climate action plan to increase sustainability efforts and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The town anticipates a draft of the plan will be complete by the fall. It will be submitted to Mayor Emily Styron and the Zionsville Town Council for review. Zionsville was chosen as one of 11 communities to be part of Indiana University’s second Resilience Cohort, which was established in 2019 by the Environmental Resilience Institute. The 2020 Cohort is made up of cities and towns that will develop climate action plans this year. The other participants are Carmel, Elkhart, Evansville, Fishers, Fort Wayne, Gary, Goshen, Michigan City, Richmond and West Lafayette. Earlier this year, as part of the cohort,
Zionsville conducted an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. Led by the Zionsville Parks & Recreation Dept., it was the first step in the climate action planning process. Officials said a climate action plan is a fundamental step for Indiana cities and towns committed to protecting their communities from heavier rainfalls in spring and winter, more river flooding and flash floods and more freeze/thaw events that lead to potholes, among other impacts. The plan will provide the town with a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Part of the action plan involves incorporating public input by engaging residents and community stakeholders. Zionsville residents, businesses and organizations can participate by visiting taking the Zionsville Climate and Sustainability Interest Survey.

Readalong — Join Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library youth services librarians each evening as they read Hugh Lofting’s “The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle.” A new movie version of this classic story, which won the Newbery Medal in 1923, was released earlier this year. A new chapter, read by a different librarian each night, will be available on the HMMPL Read Aloud Playlist, which can be found at zionsvillelibrary.org, at 6 p.m. After each installment, a secret code will be shared each evening that readers can enter through Beanstack for an activity point in the library’s summer reading program. Virtual board games — Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library will host time slots for residents to play virtual board games. Register for a time slot listed on the li-
brary’s event calendar, and staff will teach players how to play a game virtually and then play participants. Each time slot is one hour, and residents can choose to play from a variety of games. Once players have signed up for a time, an email with the list of games and descriptions will be sent. Residents can invite other players, too, and players will join a Zoom chat together to play. Visitor restrictions eased — Indiana University Health will has relaxed some of the temporary visitor restrictions put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The revised guidelines allow for one visitor per patient, per day in inpatient areas. Each visitor will be screened and given a mask, which must be worn at all times inside the facility.

Whatever your reason or reasons for continuing to use Current in Zionsville as your local news source, your support means the world to us. Now, we have a favor to ask.

Twenty-five dollars may not seem like a game changer to many in our midst, but it would make a huge, positive impact for Current in Zionsville and its locally generated journalism.

Wearing flip-flops can be risky Flip-flops are fun to wear in warm weather and they are everywhere! No matter what you call them, flip-flops are convenient and inexpensive. But are they the best footwear for foot health during warm weather activities? Flip-flops have little support for your foot The lack of support in flip-flops causes an abnormal stretch to a thick tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, the plantar fascia. Inflammation in this area results in heel pain from plantar fasciitis, a painful condition that is worst when you first get out of bed in the morning. Another problem with flip-flops is how the toes must scrunch up to grip the sole. This action makes the muscles in your legs work harder and can lead to shin splints and muscle pain as well as toe deformities like hammertoes and claw toes. Wearing flip-flops can even cause stress fractures because of little shock absorption from the thin sole, increasing mechanical stress on the bones of your foot. Avoid injury by limiting use of flip-flops Flip-flops should never be worn when your foot needs protection or extra support; for example:
Wit and wisdom from Abe Martin
• Mowing the grass. Never wear flipflops when doing yard work, especially when using a lawnmower. This practice can have severe repercussions. • Hiking. Flip-flops simply don’t have the support you need when tackling tough terrain. Invest in a pair of hiking shoes or boots. • Bicycling. Flip-flops don’t offer any sideways stability, so it is far too easy for your foot to slide off the pedal. Wear athletic shoes for protection. • Sports. Enjoying an impromptu pickup basketball game? Don’t ruin your fun with a twisted ankle from playing in flimsy flip-flops. Stick to athletic shoes. Even wearing flip-flops during everyday activities can result in toe fractures or torn toenail beds due to the lack of protection.

I was cleaning out some files the other day and stumbled on one I had labeled “Wit and Wisdom.” It contained PLAIN TALK a half-dozen pages of one-liners by Frank McKinney Hubbard. Hubbard himself claimed to have gotten them from a Brown County hillbilly by the name of Abe Martin. Some of you may remember “Abe Martin” as a daily cartoon in the Indianapolis News. Hubbard lived at a time when a cartoonist could point out a man’s foibles without belittling him or declaring war on his tribe. “Abe Martin” first showed up in our local paper in 1904 and continued to amuse and irk folks until Hubbard’s death in 1930. By that time, the cartoon was printed in some 300 newspapers nationwide. I think the News continued to re-run the cartoon until it ceased publication in 1999. Without naming names or starting political fires, “Abe Martin” exposed the idiosyncrasies of human behavior in a way that had everyone looking in the mirror to see if the day’s taunt was personal. As an example, Abe pointed out that, “We’d all like to vote for the best man, but he’s never a candidate.” He also showed us that, “Some folks can look so busy doing nothing, that they seem indispensable.” Then, he added, “Honesty pays, but not enough to suit some people.” A few of my favorites, as true today as they were then: • “A man who owns his home is always
just coming out of the hardware store.” • “Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men.” • There “isn’t much to see in a small town, but what you hear makes up for it.” • “It’s hard to tell what does bring happiness, since both poverty and wealth have failed.” • “It’s going to be fun to see how long the meek can keep the earth once they’d inherited it.” There were some others in the file that probably didn’t come from “Abe Martin.” Someone said, “Life isn’t fair, but it’s better than the alternative.” And this, “Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.” And, “Make peace with your past so it doesn’t spoil the present.” I also jotted down these odd factoids: • “There are at least six people in the world that look exactly like you and there’s a 9 percent chance you will meet at least one of them.” • “A person’s height is determined by their father, their weight is determined by their mother.” • “Stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve razor blades.” Interestingly, so are most soft drinks. And, a final word from Abe Martin: “Live so you can at least get the benefit of the doubt.” Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife.

All Indiana residents can be tested for COVID-19 By Jarred Meeks Jarred@youarecurrent,com On June 15, Boone County residents arrived at the Witham Pavilion at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds, some to be tested for COVID-19 for the first COVER STORY time. “I remember back before we even had a case in Indiana, or really even Boone County, that testing was so restrictive,” Boone County Health Dept. Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said. “You had to sit in these teeny tiny little niches, like you had to (have traveled) to Wuhan, China (the location of the first reported cases of the new coronavirus), you had (to had traveled) into China. And just gradually, it very slowly opened up. But now I think we are at the point where testing isn’t as limited as it used to be. “One of the big concerns was limited testing kits, limited testing machines and things like that, so this is really important for us to have a better understanding of what the coronavirus is looking like in our county.” OptumServe Health Services, a health services company, in partnership with the Indiana State Dept. of Health, began offering free COVID-19 testing to all Indiana residents June 15. The shift came after months of statewide, targeted testing that aimed to diagnose those most likely to suffer from the disease — the elderly, minorities and those exhibiting symptoms. OptumServe partnered with the state in April to expand Indiana’s testing capacity, opening 50 sites in two weeks. Now, the state has at least 202 testing sites across 80 percent of Indiana’s 92 counties. The pavilion, the site of Boone County’s only OptumServe after it recently relocated from Lebanon Senior High School, opened to residents who scheduled an appointment. County officials said the move was necessary because the high school could only house the testing site until a specific date. The pavilion will house the site until at least the end of this month. Although she had no symptons of COVID-19, Lisa Falahee, 40, of Zionsville,
OptumServe’s Boone County testing site moved to the Witham Pavilion at the Boone County Fairgrounds June 15. (Photo by Jarred Meeks)
scheduled an appointment. “(It’s important that) as many people get tested as possible because there’s such a high chance of being asymptomatic,” Falahee said. “I think testing can only be a positive, and the more people who do it, the better, and the closer we can come to tracking where it is. So far, Indiana seems to be doing really well on their reopening, and so I’m hopeful that it will stay very positive. “But obviously, there are a lot of other examples that show that we should still be concerned about what’s going on and be cautious, anyway.” Preliminary research conducted by the Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI revealed in its first phase of testing that an estimated 44.8 percent of Indiana residents with COVID-19 are asymptomatic. Falahee said she has parents who are in a high-risk group, and she would feel more comfortable knowing she isn’t passing it to them or her husband, Greg, or to their two young children. If testing was made
available to all Indiana residents earlier, she said she would have taken advantage of the opportunity. “I think if I didn’t have kids, it might be a little bit different,” Falahee said. “But being in a household where both of us work and we have two small kids at home, it’s given us a different outlook.” Haughton said the health department hopes more residents will get tested. She said the more people who get tested, the
more data state and county officials will have, allowing them to better track potential outbreaks. “One thing we are really focusing on is asymptomatic folks,” Haughton said. “We really want people to understand what their status is so that if they are asymptomatic, we want them to take the proper precautions to avoid possibly spreading the illness to others.”
RESIDENT: TESTING IS ‘EASY’ Kiandra Adlong, 44, of Zionsville, visited the pavilion June 15 to be tested for COVID-19. A registered dietitian who works in long-term care facilities across the state, Adlong was required to be tested within a week of returning to the facilities. She has worked with patients remotely since March 13. She said her test, which took less than 5 minutes, was simple, conve-
nient and less invasive than she expected. “Today’s experience was very easy,” Adlong said after completing her test. “I got notice this morning that I needed to be tested during this week. I got online and registered and had an appointment in less than an hour, and then I was here and in and out in five minutes at the longest.” To register, visit coronavirus.in.gov or call 888-634-1116.

LETTER
Selling points
Time to cancel Lincoln?
Commentary by Terry Anker Transactions require some cooperation on the part of the buyer and seller. Often, we only imagine that a sales representative sells, and that buying is an almost passive act. The brands use all manner of flashing light, near-deceptive puffery and manipulation to get us to crave their product. They push and cajole us from the moment we catch the morning weather report until we close our eyes at night. We are bombarded with labels, messages, aromas and jingles — all that gets into our head, noses and ears, urging us to yearn for a Cinnabon or “to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.” Our self-worth, our burgeoning waistlines and our massive consumer debt all pay tribute to the notion that we would-be consumers, one and all, aren’t quite controlling our appetites. Still, it is nearly impossible to escape. The din envelopes us, beckoning for attention — and to consumption. But, aren’t we all sellers, too? We project our own product hoping that others will buy it. Some proudly proclaim that they “don’t care what others think of them.” However, isn’t announcing that one does not care simply prove that they care if others think they care? Hmm, maybe. Or, does it only serve to indicate our relentless ambivalence, perhaps even fecklessness, about what we are pushing? Even as we liquidate dearly departed Granddad’s estate, we are reluctant sellers. We hold on to those things we don’t want or need but still feel a loss as the purchaser attempts to take them away. In that delicate balance, a seller will act only if the acquirer exceeds the threshold of conditions more valued than keeping the object. So, can a deal occur with a seller, as with a buyer, who is unwilling? Do we have to “sell” a seller on selling?

Yes, it was a laughing matter Commentary by Danielle Wilson Cancer isn’t funny, especially when someone you love is fighting it. I’ve held off writing about my dad’s battle, HUMOR but recently my mom encouraged me to share a particularly hilarious incident. She declared, “You gotta laugh!” Dad was set to receive his first dose of chemo, and because we didn’t know whether he’d even survive the treatment, I went to visit him in the hospital, thinking this might be it. Thanks to COVID-19 restrictions, I was by myself when he had an accident, mere minutes after my arrival and an earlier episode. I wanted to call the nurse back in, but Dad insisted he could clean himself up, despite being too weak to stand. “Just grab me some toilet paper,” he grumbled. The TP did little and the paper towels were worse. We eventually resorted to high-
grade bleach wipes and their “Do Not Apply to Skin” warning. Desperate times, desperate measures. Keep in mind, he’s attempting this challenge while remaining under his covers because he doesn’t want me to “see anything.” At one point, he yelled “Look away!” and I bolted for the bathroom, where I hummed Jimmy Cliff’s “Reggae Night.” Once given the all-clear, I emerged to find that Dad had successfully changed his diaper pad, although he had slid far enough down the bed that his head was scrunched at painful-yet-comical 90 degrees. I had to smile. Talk about making memories. Cancer or not, that’s funny. Peace out.

“The TP did little and the paper towels were worse. We eventually resorted to high-grade bleach wipes and their ‘Do Not Apply to Skin’ warning. Desperate times, desperate measures. “
Editor, I begin by thanking Mr. Baker for his commentary on subtle racism in “The Star Spangled Banner.” And I would add that we find it also a bit closer to home. By modern standards, and to dispense with subtlety, Abraham Lincoln was a racist, pure and simple. While in his ongoing debates with Sen. Douglas — as in his Speech on the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) — he argued against the “monstrous injustice of slavery;” he did not believe in the equality of the two races: black and white. He believed, accordingly, that they should be kept separate. (See his speech on the Dred Scott Decision, June 26, 1857). He was also a supporter of the project to remove blacks “back” to Africa. Accordingly, I propose that we forthwith rename Lincoln Park and paint over the image of the “Great Emancipator” displayed prominently on First Street. Thomas H. Hubert, Zionsville

COVID, screen time and the eye Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano With so many people working from home nowadays, screen time usage has increased dramatically. Kids PREVENTION are now doing Zoom meetings, online athletics and “hanging out” with their friends through devices. What effect does all of this screen time have on our eyes? There are three major components of screen time and eye problems. First and foremost, there is fatigue of the eye muscles when we focus on near objects for extended periods of time. Our eyes not only focus in and out to see clearly up close, but our muscles also have to converge at shorter distances to keep things aligned. Quick homework: Take a pencil, hold it at arm’s length, then slowly bring it into your nose. Notice how your eyes have to cross (converge) the closer it gets. Second, screens give off glare. Glare causes us to squint and be uncomfortable when reading online. Thus, having reading glasses with anti-glare coatings helps to alleviate this un-
comfortable squint, not to mention minimizing unwanted crow’s feet and wrinkles. The third aspect of screen overuse is the long-term effects of blue light. Blue light is emitted from all screens, and its cumulative exposure is one of the leading factors causing cataracts and macular degeneration. Protection from blue light is incredibly important for all ages. Especially now, with almost everyone, at every age, spending extended time in front of their devices, please consider protecting the eyeballs with some reading glasses that can mitigate these situations. Having eyes that are relaxed from strain, glare-free and protected from the harmful effects of blue light will do wonders for your productivity and keep your eyes safe and healthy for years to come.

Hoosiers must work more to pay rent — A new report Self Financial pinpoints how many hours of work it takes in order to pay rent in every U.S. state. The economy has been dealt a major blow by the coronavirus pandemic, making rent anywhere more difficult to afford than ever. By analyzing the median cost of rent in each state, as well as the median hourly wage there, researchers at Self Financial have determined the locations where it is toughest to make rent in the country. The analysis found that residents in Indiana need to work 31.4 hours per week to afford rent for a 1-bedroom dwelling and 39.0 hours per week for a 2-bedroom. Indiana residents must work the 14th-fewest hours per week in order to afford rent. Source: latticepublishing.com

ZCHS well-represented at Songbook Academy By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Lily Cross figures this is a rare opportunity, and she plans to take full advantage. “The Songbook Academy has MUSIC a great history, and the opportunity to work with the other students is a great honor,” Cross said. “I’m looking forward to learning more about the Songbook era.” Cross, who will be a Zionsville Community High School senior in August, will be joined at the Songbook Academy by 2020 ZCHS graduates Hayden Elefante and Mahesh Cross Gupta. They are three of 40 students selected nationally for the program, set for July 12 to 18. The intensive for young singers is typically held at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel but will be Elefante held virtually this year. The weeklong music program, for high school students and 2020 graduates, will feature an interactive experience of professional vocal training, performance coaching, workshops, daily social activities and educational master classes with a team of mentors led by five-time Grammy Award nominee and Songbook Foundation founder Michael Feinstein. Cross said two of her Great American Songbook favorites are Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald. “I’ve always listened to that style of music like Billie Holiday, and it’s really cool to see how they were able to put their own struggles during that time period into their art form,” Cross said. Cross has attended the final performance of the top 10 finalists the past two years. “I feel it’s a great opportunity to work stylistically and how to improve on more of a cabaret style from a musical theater style, which is more what I’m used to,” she said.

show choir Royalaires along with Elefante and Gupta this past school year. “I would have to say that I am most excited for learning more about the art of singing and improving my craft of storytelling,” Elefante said. “Songbook Academy does a terrific job with educating these young performers regarding everything from stage presence to vocal health, preparing each singer with the tools they need to successfully lead a career within the arts.” This is Elefante’s second time participating in the program. “When I first heard about my acceptance in 2017, I was so shocked that I was chosen amongst a number of excellent performers who were all older than me,” Elefante said. “Being the youngest in the top 40 taught me a lot about how maturity in the voice plays a key role in success within the Songbook genre, and now that I have reached their age as a recent high school graduate, I feel that I can follow in their footsteps and tell these stories with the experiences I’ve gained these past three years.” Elefante said although it’s disappointing that Songbook will not be in-person this year, he said the experience will be valuable. “The mentors and guest artists Song-
book brings in carry a lot of wisdom and are very capable of getting through to the singers, even if that means behind a screen,” Elefante said. His favorite Songbook performer is Michael Bublé. “He brings the superb songs of the Great American Songbook to a whole new generation of music lovers,” Elefante said. “I have a lot of genres of music that I enjoy, but I can always count on the Great American Songbook to tell me a feel-good, yet so simplistic story.” Gupta’s favorite Songbook performer is Gene Kelly. “He tells compelling stories through his performances, and he is a talented singer and dancer,” Gupta said. “I listen to Songbook pieces often, and I also enjoy watching the movies where these songs are performed. I am most looking forward to learning more about interpreting the music from the Great American Songbook era. I am also excited to be in an environment where I can interact with other people my age who love this genre of music.” Gupta, who will major in biochemistry at Purdue University, served as Royalaires dance captain his junior and senior years. “I’m really excited for the master classes and to learn from the incredible lineup of guest mentors,” he said.
If nothing else, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir’s virtual music camp will not be confining or dull. By design, it will MUSIC be lively and engaging. That’s why it’s called Reach!, the object of which is to get kids outside and “reach” the community with random acts of kindness inspired by music. “Our goal of this summer camp is to not only learn some music and some musical activities, but to get them out of their homes and do something nice in their community for other people,” said Joshua Pedde, Pedde the ICC’s artistic director. “We’re looking at how even the little things can make someone’s day.” Reach! is a monthlong camp for kids entering grades first through eighth. Open to all kids anywhere in the U.S., it runs July 1 to 31, culminating in a virtual choir performance on the final day. Divided into four modules that kids complete at their own pace, the sessions include music instruction, music theory and singing and connecting songs to outside activities to engage their communities, such as writing a special message with sidewalk chalk on a neighbor’s driveway to brighten their day. “Every song that we have has something to do with positive reinforcement of whatever activity we’re doing that day,” said Pedde, a Carmel resident. “It’s really a routine beyond the house and doing something nice to get them outside and out in their community.” For the singing component of the July 31 virtual choir performance, kids will listen to prerecorded music through earbuds and record — and then submit — their own vocals without the accompanying music. The recordings will then be assembled for the performance that will be livestreamed on Facebook Live and YouTube Live. Cost for the link is $5. Camp registration is $85.

Neal shares inspiring mural By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Travis Neal’s mural shares a familiar message during the coronavirus pandemic. Neal painted the wall at the ART Brooks School Park entrance on May 30-31 with the words, “#IN this Together.” Neal said he has been working with the Fishers Arts Council and Fishers Parks on other projects for a couple of years. “That is how I met (Fishers Parks Assistant Director) Marissa Deckert, who contacted me with this project,” said Neal, who grew up in Beech Grove and lives in Broad Ripple. “They constructed this (40- foot by 5-foot) wall at the entrance of Brooks School Park specifically for projects like this and were looking for someone to break the wall in with the first piece. This project turned around pretty quickly, from first contact to completion, so this was really the only concept for the mural. “They requested that the hashtag be included in the design somehow, and I decided to make it the main focus. I built the rest of the design around that message.”

Neal said the response has been incredible, “It seems to have really struck a chord,” he said. “I didn’t realize the enthusiasm people would have for this message. It’s an amazing feeling to have one of my walls speak to so many people on that level.” Neal, 47, has been the manager of a sign shop called Signarama in Carmel for 20 years. Signarama offers a variety of custom-made signs, banners and decals. Thompson Thrift Retail Group, a business unit of Thompson Thrift, worked last year with Nickel Plate Arts and the Fishers Arts and Cultural Commission to select four artists to oversee the mural project. The other artists are Dan Toro of Laramie, Wyoming and Megan Jefferson of Indianapolis.

I Heart Mac and Cheese
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 637 E. Ind. 32., Westfield What to get: All-American Bacon Cheeseburger Price: $8.95 Anna’s take: I Heart Mac and Cheese has been a pretty popular conversation topic since its recent opening in Westfield. When I visited, I tried the All-American Bacon Cheeseburger mac and cheese ($8.95) with ground beef, bacon, American cheese, pickles and mac and cheese. It was a hearty portion, and I really like that I Heart Mac and Cheese makes the calorie count easily visible. I also tried the Best of Both Worlds ($11.95), which is a baked mac and cheese sandwich with slow-cooked short rib, white cheddar cheese, American cheese and barbecue sauce. It came with a side of 10 tater tots with a tomato soup dipper, which was phenomenal.
The All-American Bacon Cheeseburger mac and cheese dish from I Heart Mac and Cheese includes ground beef, bacon, American cheese, pickles and mac and cheese. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
I Heart Mac and Cheese is set up similarly to a Chipotle or Subway, whereby diners work their way through the order line. It’s a very clean restaurant, and all the employees seemed eager to help. I have a feeling it’ll become quite the popular place with Grand Park right up the road.
