State officials hold Indiana at Stage 4.5 By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced July 15 the pausing of Indiana’s five-stage reopening PANDEMIC plan. The state will remain at Stage 4.5 for at least the next two weeks. All prior guidelines and restrictions implemented in the previous two weeks Holcomb will continue, with the addition of new measures. As of July 23, people organizing gatherings and events with more than 250 attendees must submit a written plan to local health departments outlining mitigation efforts they will use to ensure the health and safety of participants. The new guidelines also apply to seasonal and special events such as fairs, festivals, parades, graduations, outdoor concerts, outdoor movies other than drive-ins, family reunions, conferences and weddings. The written plans must address capacity limits, guest information, staff and volunteer screening plans, social distancing measures, plans for increased sanitation, face coverings and compliance with guidelines outlined by the state and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For the second consecutive week, Indiana reported an increase in COVID-19 cases. More than 4,300 new cases were reported in the past week, contributing to the state’s cumulative tally of 53,370 cases, as of press time. In the same seven-day period one month ago, the state reported just more than 3,000 COVID-19 cases, Indiana Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said. Consequently, the state has increased statewide testing capabilities and is sending COVID-19 strike teams to the most affected areas. The state’s seven-day average positivity rate also increased to 7.1 percent July 11, compared to 4.1 percent on June 19 and 6.3 percent on July 4. But the average falls short of the record 20.2 percent, seven-day average recorded April 24.
A hospitalization census found 881 Hoosiers were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of July 14, compared to the 595 who were hospitalized June 26. The state previously recorded 990 hospitalizations on June 2. State hospital data analyzed by Regenstrief Institute, an Indianapolis-based research organization, found 51,434 distinct COVID-19 Hoosiers that have tested positive for the disease since March Box 1. It also found that 12,449 (24 percent) of the positive patients visited an emergency department, and 7,633 (15 percent) of positive cases had been hospitalized. Of the hospitalized patients, 1,620 (21 percent) were admitted to an intensive care unit, representing 3 percent of all patients analyzed. To date, Regenstrief estimates that 5,642 (74 percent) of the 7,633 patients who have been hospitalized have been discharged; seven percent are likely still hospitalized; and 19 percent are known to have died. Box said the age group that has contributed most to the spike in cases has been people in their 20s and 30s. She said that while they are less likely to suffer severe health consequences from contracting the disease, they may also be spreading the virus to older residents, leading to the uptick in hospitalizations. Box also said travel could be another contributor to the increase in hospitalizations. “That is going to add more burden to our hospital systems,” Box said during a virtual press briefing. “As we look at it, and the percent positivity ticks up, that is what is really most concerning to me as I look at it, and I do feel it is a time for Hoosiers to decide that they are going to go back to more careful social distancing and to wear their masks and to wash their hands more carefully.” Testing supply shortages In addition to an increase in cases and hospitalizations, Box said the state has suffered from a shortage of COVID-19 testing supplies. “While we continue to increase our testing capacity, we’re having to adapt to the
supply-and-demand issues that have been created by the significant spikes that we’ve seen in other states across the country,” Box said. “This is similar to what we saw back in the spring and has impacted our ability to get some (testing) supplies.” Box said the delay in testing supply shipments has slowed testing results. She said test results are expected to take three to five days to be delivered; however, she said state strike teams often are able to get test results within 48 hours, thereby speeding up relief efforts in high-impact areas. Health officials have said contacting residents who are COVID-19 positive within 48 hours is key to tracing potential contacts and slowing the spread by determining who they may have infected. Despite the strain placed on the state’s testing capabilities, Box said 11 new, free testing sites will be launched statewide. “We’ll still expect to see another surge of COVID cases this fall in tandem with flu season,” Box said. “This will increase the need for testing and supplies in all states, not just Indiana, so the work that we do now to keep our communities safe and ensure that our health care system has ample capacity will put us in a better position for the expected surge.” Rental Assistance Program The Indiana COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program portal opened July 13. In the first 48 hours, more than 11,000 Hoosiers applied to the program. The program offers approved applicants a maximum of $2,000 per household to help for any combination of past-due rent, late payments or regular rent payments, up to $500 per month. First payments from the program are expected to be sent to landlords by the first week of August, according to state officials. Assistance is available to residents in 91 of Indiana’s 92 counties through the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority by way of $25 million in funds from the CARES Act. Applicants must have their landlord approve the assistance before being approved as a recipient. Indiana residents can apply to the program at indianahousingnow.org.
“We’ll still expect to see another surge of COVID cases this fall in tandem with flu season. This will increase the need for testing and supplies in all states, not just Indiana, so the work that we do now to keep our communities safe and ensure that our health care system has ample capacity will put us in a better position for the expected surge.”

County 4-H fair modifies attendance policy, cancels events By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County 4-H fair will continue as scheduled, as of July 17 press time, but only 4-H members and a limited number of their family and friends can PANDEMIC attend. County officials were set to vote July 17, after press time, whether to continue with the fair. All other fair events are canceled, including the county queen contest, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidance from Purdue University Extension led the Boone County 4-H club to limit the number of attendees to protect the health and safety of its members. Niki Hollingsworth, treasurer of the Boone County 4-H Inc. council and board, said face coverings will be required of all 4-H participants, staff members and volunteers if they are unable to socially distance, Hollingsworth said livestock will arrive
and leave on the same day instead of staying for the entire week. Closed judging will be implemented, meaning judges will determine project placements without participants present. Participants will be able to see what they placed afterward. The fair runs July 18 to July 24. Parents and family members of 4-H participants can attend. Children participating in the fair will be given 10 tickets to give to family members and friends for the Supreme Showmanship, Hollingsworth said. All attendees and participants will be screened before entering the fair by answering a questionnaire. “We had some families who didn’t feel comfortable coming and showing at the fair this year,” Hollingsworth said. “We do have a virtual option available for any project, so if they didn’t feel comfortable and they still had a project or animal at home, they can still exhibit it.” All livestock shows can be viewed on the club’s YouTube page, Hollingsworth said.

Getting prompt ER care for a stroke can mean the difference between disability and recovery ERs deliver stroke care, with safety precautions in place When David Wegener couldn’t hold his coffee cup one morning, he knew something wasn’t right. It never occurred to him he might be having a stroke.
in providing advanced imaging and treatments for complex strokes. This type of highly specialized stroke care is shown to help lead to better recovery for patients.
Fortunately, David decided to go to an ER at an Ascension hospital. A neurologist looked at his CT scan using specialized software and determined the right treatment within two minutes. David was transferred immediately to a Comprehensive Stroke Center for a procedure that not only saved his life but also prevented long-term damage.
“Timing is critical in treating stroke,” says Daniel Sahlein, Neurointerventionalist. “Delaying care, even by a few minutes, can be the difference between recovery and permanent disability.”
Ascension St. Vincent Hospital is a certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, meeting rigorous standards © Ascension 2020. All rights reserved.
Don’t postpone emergency care for stroke symptoms Emergency rooms across the country are reporting fewer cases of strokes and heart attacks. But these critical events are still happening.
“Our ERs are fully prepared to offer immediate care for the entire family, open 24/7 with labs and imaging on site,” says Jonathan Nalli, Senior Vice President, Ascension, and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension St. Vincent. “And our ER concierge service will help you with scheduling follow-up appointments, so it’s one less thing to worry about after you return home.” Avoiding care can make recovery more difficult. For example, if a patient receives hospital care within three hours of the first symptoms of an ischemic stroke, a clot-busting medication may be given. Patients who receive this medication are more likely to fully recover and avoid suffering long-term disability. Larger strokes can often be treated with a minimally invasive clot extraction procedure, performed only at select hospitals, including Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.
Recognize the symptoms of stroke The first step in getting treatment for stroke quickly is recognizing the warning signs. The warning signs for stroke include: sudden loss of balance, lost or unclear vision, face drooping or uneven smile, arm weakness, and speech difficulty. If you see these signs, call 911 right away.
Strong precautions to protect patients and caregivers Many people have put off care recently because they may have been reluctant to visit a medical facility, with concerns about exposure to coronavirus (COVID-19). Ascension St. Vincent is screening staff and caregivers, providing masks to all who enter its hospitals and ERs and rigorously cleaning and disinfecting all areas in facilities more often. Ascension is committed to balancing care with caution to help protect all who enter their sites of care. Even when the need is urgent, Ascension St. Vincent care teams focus on providing compassionate, personalized care at every step. Talking about the signs and symptoms of a stroke with your family, friends and loved ones and why it is important to seek ER care quickly can save lives and help improve recovery. If you or a loved one is experiencing stroke symptoms such as sudden loss of balance, lost or unclear vision, face drooping or uneven smile, arm weakness, and speech difficulty, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Busick leaves ZCHS basketball program in strong shape By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It certainly wasn’t easy for Shaun Busick to leave his position as Zionsville Community High School basketball coach. Busick had 12 straight winSPORTS ning seasons as coach, winning Class 4A sectional titles in 2018 and 2019. His team was 16-10 in 2020 with several talented young players returning. Yet Busick has decided to accept the position of Covington Community High School’s boy’s basketball coach. Covington Busick competes in Class A in basketball. “It was a tough decision, but it was a decision we’ve been praying about for quite some time,” said Busick, who was named Covington’s coach July 8. “We felt the Lord opened up some doors and Covington checked all the boxes of what we were looking for.” Busick’s son, Drew, will be a freshman at Covington. “He was going to be a good player at Zionsville,” Busick said. “He’s a hard worker. The basketball didn’t really figure into the equation. The fact there are going to be smaller class sizes are going to be better for him academically, so smaller was attractive to me. My wife (Cathy) got a really cool job within the school cooperation. She is going to be able to (teach) out of the classroom and going to be able to help students in a different capacity.” Cathy, who was a ZCHS teacher, will be the social and emotional learning coordinator for the school district. Busick will be an English teacher. Covington has won five consecutive sectional titles, four in Class 2A and last season in Class A. Covington was 20-6 last season. “Covington does have a great tradition and a great following,” Busick said. “It’s going to be in a situation where basketball is really, really important in that community. It’s a great atmosphere. I’m following a very successful coach there in Adam Ballard. I’m looking forward to build upon what he has already started.” Ballard left to take the Pendleton Heights coaching job.
Busick, who had a 220-105 record in 14 seasons at ZCHS, said the Zionsville program is in good shape for the future. “We’re strong all the way down to the elementary level,” Busick said. “It’s going to be a young team this season. But at the same time, they have some good senior leaders coming back in Dylan Ritter, Kyle Reasoner and Owen Prickett. On top of that, you have two of the top sophomore players in the entire state in Logan Imes and Nick Richart. I was already entertaining phone calls from Division I coaches about those two.” Busick said the two middle school eighth-grade teams had winning records, and the Zionsville West seventh-grade team was 20-0. “It’s the strongest fifth-grade group in the area,” he said. “The coach walking in will have a good feeder program in place. Over the past five or six years, the feeder program became the best in the state. That credit goes first and foremost to kids for working hard and being excited about basketball.” Busick said the youth coaches also deserve credit. “I had great parent volunteers who helped build this program,” said Busick, who also credited his high school assistant coaches. “I’m proud I got to be one of the chief architects of the program. I’ll walk away knowing I left the program in a lot better shape than the way I found it.”

The Boone County Commissioners passed an ordinance July 9 that outlines COVID-19 screening procedures for PANDEMIC entering county buildings. After the commissioners ended the county’s state of emergency in June, Boone County Sheriff’s Office officials, who are tasked with screening members of the public before they enter certain county buildings, notified the commissioners that there was no law that allowed them to legally prevent a person from entering buildings if they fail screening procedures. The commissioners called a special meeting three days later and passed the ordinance, which requires members of the public to have their temperatures taken by thermal cameras before entering county buildings. Thermal cameras have been installed at the county courthouse and the KeyBank at 127 W Main St. in Lebanon. Two have been installed at the sheriff’s office, and another will be installed at the Boone County Office Building. The ordinance also allows for other noninvasive methods of determining external temperature before entry into one of the buildings. If a member of the public has a temperature above 100.4 degrees they will be asked a series of questions drafted with help from the Boone County Health Dept. If the person responds negatively to all of the questions, they will be allowed access to the county buildings but will be required to wear a face mask or face shield. Masks will be available for those without one. Should they answer positively to any of the questions, they will be denied access. Members of the public can conduct business online at boonecounty.in.gov. “We’re trying to protect everyone,� said Don Lawson, president of the Boone County Board of Commissioners. Although the ordinance requires face shields under specific circumstances, it doesn’t require them indoors in public spaces, as other counties in Indiana have required. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said he will leave such decisions to local officials and will not mandate statewide mask wearing. Boone County Commissioner Tom Santelli said the commissioners have not issued a decision on the matter but said it is “an ongoing discussion.�

Golf outing to raises funds for police By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jake Laird grew up watching “Adam-12,” “Emergency!” and other police-related television shows. EVENT Laird always envisioned himself being a police officer. “He never lost his passion for that dream and realized that goal after serving 10 years in the Marines,” his mother Debbie Laird said. An Indianapolis Police Dept. officer for four years, Laird was killed Aug. 18, 2004, when he and other officers responded to 911 reports of gunfire on the southside of Indianapolis. Laird, 31, was fatally wounded when a bullet hit him high in the chest above his protective vest. Noblesville residents Debbie and Mike Laird started the Jake Laird Memorial Fund in 2004 to honor their son’s memory. The 17th Annual Jake Laird Memorial Golf Outing is set for 10:30 a.m. Aug. 7 at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville. The fund has raised approximately $1 million for police departments in Indiana. “He would be so happy to know Mike and I have been able to help his brothers and sisters in blue,” Debbie said. “For us, this golf outing and the money we raise has enabled us to keep his memory alive. The mission of the fund is to provide financial contributions to law and fire department agencies for the purchase of new equipment, the institution of new instructional programs or financial assistance to officers and firefighters injured in the line of duty or incurring hardships.” Although raising money is the primary objective, it is not the only one. “Another goal that is almost equally important is for everyone in attendance to be able to relax and enjoy themselves on the golf course,” Debbie said. “This has been a difficult year for many people, but this will be a day when all police officers and the community can enjoy time spent together for a good cause.” Debbie is optimistic about attendance this year.

ZCS’s plan to safely start the academic year By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community Schools has released a guide to start the academic year that outlines mitigation efforts to protect students and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. ZCS schools will open for in-person classes Aug. 4. Remote learning options will be offered to students who will not return for in-person classes. Remote learning will at times be synchronized with in-person classes, ZCS officials said. By way of a video conference, for example, teachers will guide both in-class students and remote-learning students through lessons at the same time. At other times, remote-learning students will be able to work at their own pace online. Parents with children enrolled in grades K-4 must commit to the remote-learning program for nine weeks before being allowed to enroll their children in in-person classes. Parents with children in fifth grade and up must commit to a semester of remote learning before they can opt for in-person classes. “The reason for the difference in length of commitment is due to our youngest learners needing the most direct literacy and numeracy instruction and our older learners having semester long courses, credits, and needing consistency of instruction,” the guide states. The Eagle Start Guide states masks will be required when indoors and on school buses, a shift from the school system’s prior message only days earlier at a ZCS school board meeting that masks “should be worn” and “are to be worn.” Each bus will seat a maximum of 44 children, ZCS Chief Operations Officer Rebecca Coffman said during a July 7 YouTube Live Q&A. “As we look at ridership needs, as that information is gathered, there might be some tweaks,” Coffman said. To enter the schools, students and staff will be required to complete a health screener each day. In addition, the school system will enhance existing cleaning pro-

tocols, encourage frequent hand washing and sanitization breaks and work with the Boone County Health Dept. to adjust mitigation efforts as needed. In addition, ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said he consulted with two doctors, an immunologist, an epidemiologist and an industrial hygienist when deciding what mitigation efforts to implement. Robison said the school system’s decisions were influenced by guidance from Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, the Indiana Dept. of Education, the Indiana State Dept. of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During a recent school board meeting, Robison shared a letter written to him by the epidemiologist, who was not named. It read, in part, “The most important public health role for schools this fall is to prevent massive outbreaks or ‘super spreaders.’ They explained one of the best ways of prevent-
ing such outbreaks would be to sequester students into small groups of between 30 and 100, saying “keeping these groups of 30 (or 60, 100, etc.) kids separated from other groups is more important than just about anything else.” To keep children in the same social bubbles, cafeterias will operate at 50 to 60 percent capacity and have assigned seating when possible. Lunches will be served in classrooms or outdoors, when appropriate, to provide additional social distancing. Lunch menus will be limited, and options will consist of a minimum of four pre-packaged cold choices. Playgrounds will operate at 50 to 60 percent capacity during recess. Students will be encouraged to social distance during recess and will be asked to wash their hands before and after. The guide states that the school system
“will actively monitor the COVID-19 health crisis and adjust our plan as necessary in an effort to keep our students and staff as safe as possible.”
BACK TO SCHOOL To help incoming high school students acclimate to their new setting, Zionsville Community High School will offer an Eagle Kick Off program July 28 during the school’s registration process. Student leaders will answer questions and arrange a scavenger hunt for incoming students to help familiarize them with the school. Back-to-school days will be July 27-28 for middle school students and July 31 for elementary school students. For more, visit zcs.k12.in.us.

ESSAY
LETTER
Nothing new
‘White Fragility’ worth reading
Commentary by Terry Anker These past few months have been remarkable in a panoply of ways. Among them has been the decided destruction of millions of life-sustaining and hope-providing jobs. Not so remarkable is that it has produced unprecedented growth in wealth and power for others. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, brags of record earnings facilitated by vast lockdowns of the American economy, while, not surprisingly, aggressively supporting elected officials and policies that will restrict lockdown dissent. And to many of those even well-intentioned bureaucrats, the ability to literally control by force the thinking of their fellow Americans is too tempting to overlook. These opportunities don’t come along very often. One is reminded of the prevailing scientific fact of previous generations, and the use of privilege and power to prevent legitimate challenge to those facts. It was certain and observable that Pluto was a planet, that blood-letting kept balance in the humors, and that the world is, in fact, unequivocally flat. OK. Still, there were some who dared to question: “How do we know for certain? Can’t we just consider alternatives under risk of inquisition?” Study continued and our collective knowledge creaked forward. For many, a challenge to the accepted and dominant academy is a required part of the scientific process. To others, it is to spread dangerous misinformation, heresy and subversive thought. First, we shame and discredit the offenders. Then, we cause their family harm. Ultimately, if persisting that the earth might be round, they will force us to elimination through detention or worse. Power abhors dissent, and we like power. When in authority, we work to silence opposition. And when not, we demand that our dissenting voice is heard while marching the streets and crying foul. Even as we talk of a “new” normal, the “old” normal seems abundantly still around.

A writer’s block breakthrough Commentary by Danielle Wilson As I sit pondering possible topics for this week’s column, my children keep cycling through the room, pausing to HUMOR engage in bits of conversation with me. On the one hand, I want to yell at them to leave me alone: Momma is working! But on the other, I love that they still want to chat, even after we’ve spent the last five months basically on top of each other. So, I pause my writing, listen and marvel at the fantastic creatures my husband Doo and I have raised. First, my 19-year-old twins “stop by.” A boy and a girl, they’ve always been good friends despite their very different personalities. My daughter asks me for help with her summer math class, but in a funny, baby-nerd voice. Her brother is feeding into the bit, asking her science-type questions laced with Minecraft lingo. I have no idea what they’re saying, but I am giggling, nonetheless. Next up is our youngest. She’s in crisis
mode, trying to decide her career path. She’s 16. Currently, she’s analyzing the pros and cons of becoming a surgeon versus an ER doctor. With her people skills and years in competitive dance, I’m recommending trauma. It suits everything about her. Finally, our oldest makes an appearance. He launches into a passionate tirade on the latest political debacle, this time involving our travesty of a secretary of education. I nod in agreement, feeling the rage burn in my stomach. I shoo him away as soon as he comes up for air. I can’t write while seeing red! Once again, my amazing offspring have come through. Thanks for the article fodder, kids! Peace out.

Currently, she’s analyzing the pros and cons of becoming a surgeon versus an ER doctor. With her people skills and years in competitive dance, I’m recommending trauma. It suits everything about her.
Editor, I highly recommend the book “White Fragility.” It explores the reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. For example, white people often compare their immigration story to that of Black people. “My grandparents came here with barely an education and no money, but with hard work they achieved the American Dream.” We wish to believe in the potential of America for all, but such a belief system glosses over the systemic racism of today that began with slavery at our nation’s foundation. Some people say that the police do not target Black people. We have all seen on video how Black men, women and children are treated differently by police. American values of equity, inclusion and the American Dream are ideals that systemic racism corrupts. At its least, systemic racism removes the ideal of equal opportunities in education, place of residence, career, health care and in the judicial system. At its worst, it is a tear that rips us apart as a people and keeps us separate, defensive and distrustful. Beth Kurlander, Carmel

Zionsville approves abatement for $48 million development By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council unanimously approved a property tax abatement for a real estate develREAL ESTSATE oper that expects to invest $48 million in a project in Zionsville. At 4265 S. 300 E. Boone County, in Perry Township, VanTrust Real Estate, LLC, plans to invest the $48 million in real estate improvements to construct distribution and logistics facilities, for which the town council granted the company a 10-year traditional tax abatement, which Matt Price, an attorney representing VanTrust, said the company needed to move forward with the project. The agreement includes a declining abatement schedule. “(It) mirrors an abatement schedule that is employed throughout the central Indiana region,” Price said. “That allows them to build the buildings today and have them available for companies that are
seeking a space when they need (it).” The project includes two new buildings approximately 780,900 square feet and 399,000 square feet, respectively, on an 81-acre parcel. The exact number of jobs and salaries the company expects to create will not be known until the buildings are occupied, the company stated in documents submitted to the council. In a statement submitted in the tax abatement agreement, the company reported that comparable projects in the area employ between 50 and 100 workers with wages between $12 and $15 per hour, with managers and technical positions earning higher wages. Zionsville Town Council President Josh Garrett said the abatement agreement is similar to other abatements approved during his five years on the council. Price said the company expects to pay $3.2 million in property taxes to the town in the next 10 years. The company listed Oct. 1 as an expected start date for the project.

Boone County Health Dept. officials said there is evidence COVID-19 is spreading in the community. The trend PANDEMIC was noticeable after the Fourth of July. In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, a disproportionate number of cases were in long-term care facilities. Now, health officials worry that the spread is occurring in public spheres and affecting the entire county. As of July 14, the Boone County Health Dept. reported 548 COVID-19 cases and 50 COVID-19 deaths. To date, all but five of the deaths occurred in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. But the number of cases has increased in the days following the holiday weekend, when residents gathered to celebrate Independence Day. On July 1, one new COVID-19 case was reported in Boone County, and two were reported the next day. On July 6, after a three-day weekend when labs were not processing results, the health department
reported 16 new cases. Four, five and six new cases were reported the following three days, respectively, before 15 additional cases were reported July 10. Another 19 were reported July 13, when labs opened after the weekend. “We did have a pretty frequent increase in cases after the Fourth of July holiday, so I do think it was people who were going out to barbeques, and I think a lot of it is people traveling,” Houghton said. “We know Florida is always a hot spot as far as vacation goes, but we know it is also a really, really big hot spot for COVID as well.” Tom Ryan, the public health emergency preparedness coordinator for the BCHD, said the increase in county COVID-19 cases primarily outside of long-term care facilities indicates the coronavirus is spreading in the community. In addition, the health department announced last week that one of its employees had been diagnosed with COVID-19. The employee will undergo a 14-day quarantine and will only be permitted to return to work after testing negative. Visit boonecounty. in.gov/health to find contact information.
Feet need sunscreen too July is UV Safety Awareness Month, a great time to discuss how you can protect your feet from the sun and find out the best ways to check yourself. Often consistent sunscreen users neglect the feet, yet bare feet are exposed to the sun’s rays too. The sun’s UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer, especially deadly melanoma which can spread through blood vessels and the lymphatic system. Symptoms can be as subtle as an abnormal-looking mole or freckle found anywhere on the foot, and often go unnoticed without routine foot exams. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and the American Academy of Dermatology offer these tips to keep your feet safe this summer: • Select a water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and broad-spectrum coverage that protects from UVA and UVB rays. • Apply at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. • Lather up with sunscreen from head to toe - literally - when at the pool or beach. Make sure to apply to both the top and bottom of your feet.
• Once is not enough! Reapply at least every two hours and immediately if you are sweating or swimming. • Avoid sun exposure when it’s strongest, generally between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. • Be aware that water, sand and even snow reflect and intensify UV rays. • Check your feet and toes regularly for symptoms such as an abnormal-looking mole or freckle anywhere on the foot even under toenails and on your soles. • Look for moles or freckles that change in size or shape. If you notice anything suspicious, promptly schedule an appointment with your podiatrist to have the mark examined. • Schedule routine exams with your podiatrist so he or she can keep track of suspicious, changing marks. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer is key and could help save your life.

Lohrman pays tribute to her new city By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Valeri Lohrman has embraced her new home in Carmel so much that her album is full of song titles MUSIC paying tribute to the city and surroundings. Lohrman, who performs under the name Louvena the Scout, released her album “Roundabouts” July 17. The album cover features Carmel resident Oran Sands, who has made world records for time spent driving around Carmel roundabouts. The album also will be available as a CD. The title track is one of the album’s 11 songs. There is one song called “Sun-Blinded on 146th Street.” There is a song paying tribute to the nearby Pyramids in College Park in northwest Indianapolis called “Hieroglyphics in the Pyramids at College Park.” “A lot of the things are inspired by Carmel,” she said. “There is a song about ‘Organic,’ which I work at Whole Foods, so it was inspired by that.” Lohrman, 24, works at the Whole Foods at Clay Terrace in Carmel. She moved to Carmel from south New Jersey in July 2019. “I had more friends here than I had in New Jersey where I’m from,” she said. “I had a friend that went to Indiana Wesleyan University and she introduced me to her friends that became my friends. It just kind of stuck.” Her performance name Louvena the Scout was derived from the iPhone game center that randomly assigned her that name. “I thought that sounds pretty cool, so I made it my name,” she said. Her style is singer/songwriter with pop and indie rock elements. She plays piano and guitar. Dave Macey plays guitar on two of the songs. In addition to songs inspired by Carmel and the surroundings, the songs are about heartbreak and growth. Lohrman wrote and recorded all the songs in her Carmel apartment. “Two songs in particular stand out as personally very meaningful, ‘Hieroglyphics in the Pyramids and College Park’ and “Roundabouts,’” she said. “They essen-

tially bookend this moment of growth, ‘Hieroglyphics’ signifying the end of this ‘lower’ part of my life, and ‘Roundabouts’ signifying a beginning to a better me. ‘Hieroglyphics’ still gives me chills when I listen to it. It’s likely one of my best songs, lyrically. It contains so much emotion and self-realization throughout. One particular musical interlude within the song was compared to something The Beatles would
do. Some who have listened have told me it’s their favorite song of mine. “‘Roundabouts’ makes me happy. When I play it in my car, especially going around a roundabout, of course, I feel this euphoria, this intense joy of knowing that I wrote this song, I wrote this album, I got through what I went through. I can’t help but dance and smile.” One title is “Learning to Love the Girl in My Rearview Mirror, As Well as the View Out Her Windshield.” “That long-titled track is certainly one of the main ones with that theme,” she said. “Here’s the kicker — that song is completely instrumental. It acts as a sort of interlude, a transition. You can feel this life-change happening within its music. It’s my sister’s favorite track.” Lohrman graduated from Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa., majoring in creative writing. Carmel singer Kiriana Condon, a co-worker, is featured as a singer on the track,“Not Lola.” The album will be available on iTunes and Spotify. The songs will be available on CD at louvenathescout.com.

I also tried the Loco Moco ($11), another traditional Hawaiian dish which is the epitome of comfort food with rice, a hamburger patty and two over-easy eggs smothered in brown gravy. On the American side, I tried the Hoosier pork tenderloin ($11.50) and the sloppy Joe ($8.50). Both were delicious, and I really appreciated that A2Z Café offers traditional American fare in addition to Hawaiian dishes.

A2Z Café is a mom-andpop diner with traditional Hawaiian menu options and traditional American options. On the Hawaiian side, I tried The Hawaiian Plate with Shoyu chicken, a type of Hawaiian-teriyaki chicken served with macaroni salad and white rice. It was delicious, with a unique blend of soy sauce, ginger and other ingredients.

Drive-in concerts have successful launch By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville’s Ruoff Music Center was part of a grand PERFORMANCE experiment. Ruoff was one of three venues used for three nights of drivein concerts July 10-12. “Live From The Drive In was the first major return to live music here in the U.S., with artists performing live, in-person, giving fans those amazing summer concert experiences they’ve been missing,” Live Nation Venues President Tom See stated. “Thank you to the artists, fans, crews and Live Nation teams for reminding the world that nothing replaces the energy and excitement of live music. We look forward to doing this again soon.” The other sites were St. Louis and Nashville, Tenn. The concert stage was set up in Ruoff’s parking lot. Fans drove to their own private tailgate space and enjoyed the performances from outside of their cars. At Noblesville, Yacht Rock Revue appeared July 10, Jon Pardi July 11 and Brad Paisley July 12. Geist residents and frequent concert-goers Bill Benner and wife Sherry attended Yacht Rock Revue. “We and a neighbor couple went with no expectations other than to get out of the house and have an open-air experience,” Benner said. “We left highly impressed with the organization, the staffing, the music and the overall experience. From our arrival at Gate 1 to being parked took no more than five minutes. Departure required even less.” Benner said although the foursome was a bit far from the stage, the sound was good, and the video screens were excellent. “Staff did an outstanding job with the portable restrooms and politely enforced the social distancing. We all agreed it was a fun evening, worth the price and something we’d do again,” he said.

History of a Muslim emperor’s church
PUZZLE ANSWERS
Commentary by Don Knebel Agra, a city in northern India, is home to the Taj Mahal, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his favorite wife. Agra also is home to a Roman TRAVEL Catholic church named for Shah Jahan’s Sunni Muslim grandfather, Akbar the Great. In about 1556, 14-year-old Akbar became the third Mughal Emperor. His empire eventually included much of northern and central India, with its capital initially in Agra. When Armenian Christians established a trading colony in Agra, Akbar, known for religious tolerance, asked Jesuits from Goa, a Portuguese colony in southwest India, to teach him about Christianity. Three priests reportedly made the 1,000-mile trip to Akbar’s court in early 1580 and met with Akbar repeatedly during the next three years. Seeing Akbar’s openness to Christianity, more European Christians began settling in Agra. In 1598, Akbar built a church for Agra’s Christian community on land he owned near the Armenian colony. Akbar, one of whose wives was Christian, occasionally attended services in what became known as “Akbar’s Church.” Jahangir, Akbar’s successor, expanded his father’s church, and three of his nephews were baptized there. Shah Jahan, Jahangir’s son, became Mughal Emperor in 1628. During a war with the Portuguese, he captured some Jesuit priests and agreed to release them only after they had destroyed Akbar’s Church. A year later, he reconsidered, pardoned the priests and rebuilt the church on its

original site. Subsequent renovations and reconstructions resulted in the current church, which features French, Portuguese and Mughal architectural elements. Akbar’s Church remained the seat of the Agra’s bishop until 1848, when it could no longer accommodate Agra’s Christians. The imposing Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, which is adjacent to Akbar’s Church, replaced it. However, Akbar’s Church, also known as the “Church of the Pieta,” remains active and open to the public.
