asked the Indiana State Board of Education to delay the fall count of student enrollment, commonly known as the average daily membership, through at least December. The count, completed twice a year, is used to set new funding levels for schools. The count date is scheduled for Sept. 18. According to Holcomb, state law allows the board to take action to change the count date for reasons that include extreme patterns of illness. The count requires school districts to designate students who receive at least 50 percent of their instruction virtually as virtual students. School corporations in Indiana receive 85 percent of the foundation formula dollars distributed for virtual students, according to the governor’s office. In a press release, the governor’s office addressed concerns that schools electing to begin the academic year by providing virtual-only instruction because of the COVID-19 pandemic would receive 85 percent of funding for all students when the count is conducted. “I have asked the State Board of Education to exercise this statutory authority to secure full funding to schools,” Holcomb stated. In the next several days, the governor’s office, in conjunction with Indiana House and Senate leaders, will work with the Indiana State Board of Education and the Indiana Dept. of Education on a resolution for the boards’ members to consider. “This solution will put to rest lingering questions or concerns so (that) schools can continue to focus on opening schools safely and educating Indiana’s students,” Holcomb stated.

“As we trace this back, we find that it’s usually a party. All of those things are contributing, unfortunately, to these cases. They’re really not necessarily getting this at school.”

County officials consider closing roads to repair culverts By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County officials have marked 16 culverts in need of structural repair or replacement, and TRANSPORTATION construction on four of the most pressing culverts might require closing county roads. Boone County Highway Dept. Director and County Engineer Craig Parks said SJCA, an Indianapolis-based engineering firm, inspected all small structures in the county while preparing a report. The report found 16 small structures, defined as bridges less than 20 feet in length, failed to meet legal load-bearing standards. In response, the Boone County Commissioners, passed an ordinance to post signs at the sites with new load rates. Four of the 16 small structures (which are called culverts but resemble small bridges) were noted for exceptional deterioration, including one with exposed steel jutting from the structure. One structure was rated for a 6-ton limit, and the other three were rated for an 8-ton limit. Parks said he would be concerned allowing any of these structures to be used, even with warning signs, and he recommended closing the four roads to allow for repairs. They are C.R. 300 S, a frequently traveled road, Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said, and C.R. 900 W., C.R. 750 N. and C.R. 400 E. The report was the first to provide a load-rate analysis of the county’s small structures, Parks said. Most of the county’s bridges are inspected on a biannual basis, with the exception of bridges with condition issues, which are inspected annually to track deterioration, he said, adding that a bridge inspection contract for one year’s worth of inspections costs approximately $200,000. “We now have 26 bridges and 16 culverts that now do not meet legal loads,” Parks said at the commissioners’ Aug. 3 meeting. Parks told the Boone County commission-

ers, who are tasked with maintaining the county’s public roadways, the culverts are not safe because they would potentially not be able to bear the weight of common vehicular traffic. Parks estimated many vehicles could exceed 8 tons and a loaded school bus could exceed 15 tons. After being made aware of the report’s findings, Parks contacted each of the county school districts to notify them of planned detours should county commissioners close any of the four roads. Parks said Lebanon’s school district has already made plans to reroute bus routes. “We have a situation here where we really don’t have much choice,” Wolfe said during the commissioners’ Aug. 10 meeting. “We have an engineering firm that has reviewed, we have our professional engineer, and (they’ve determined) these structures are not safe. We’ve got to do something about it. This is not about liability; this is about the safety of our residents.” The commissioners were scheduled to meet Aug. 17 at the Boone County Fairgrounds to consider an ordinance that would close the four county roads needed to make repairs or replacements to the small structures. The Boone County Council, the governing body that oversees the county’s financial expenditures, met Aug. 13 to consider how the county would fund the projects. At the meeting, county councilors cast a vote of confidence in favor of issuing a total of $5.35 million in bonds, which would require an increase in property taxes to repay the bonds, in what is called a debt service levy. The vote of confidence meant the council would likely approve a bond ordinance at its September meeting and an additional appropriation ordinance at its October meeting, giving officials and consultants reason to delineate resources and hours toward drafting the necessary legal documents. County officials said the county has never used a debt service levy, but 38 of Indiana’s 92 counties do, including Marion, Hendricks and Hamilton counties.

“We have an engineering firm that has reviewed, we have our professional engineer, and (they’ve determined) these structures are not safe. We’ve got to do something about it. This is not about liability; this is about the safety of our residents.”

Panel focuses on mental health By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dianna Huddleston is eager to share the services Aspire Indiana Health has to offer as a community mental CHAMBER health center. Huddleston will be part of a panel at a joint meeting of the chamber of commerce for Zionsville and Westfield at noon Aug. 20 at Finley Creek Vineyards, 795 S. U.S. 421, Zionsville. The panel also includes Huddleston Deidra Rausch, executive director of The Cabin Counseling & Resource Center, and Kassie Frazier of Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center, Lebanon. “Aspire Indiana Health is an independent nonprofit health care provider with more than a half-century of service to some of the most vulnerable Hoosiers,” Huddleston said. “We provide fully integrated, whole health services, including primary medical care, behavioral health and addictions services. Aspire also has a broad array of community programs to address social de-

terminants of health, such as housing and employment. “We are committed to being innovative thought-leaders in our market space while honoring our rich heritage of evidence-based health care practices as we evolve to meet the demanding needs of those we serve.” Aspire has outpatient centers in Carmel, Noblesville and Lebanon. Rausch said the panel will welcome questions from the audience in an informal, conversation-like Rausch format. “My understanding is that the panel will provide a discussion focused on mental health and how we can navigate the current COVID-19 climate,” Rausch said. Rausch said she plans on sharing a brief overview of The Cabin’s 21-year history, its services and also common themes it is seeing among children, teens and adults who are pursuing mental health services at its facility. Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center’s trained social workers conduct interviews with chil-

dren who have alleged physical or sexual abuse or who have witnessed violence. “I would like to talk about the isolation of the pandemic and the effect it has on our children in terms of abuse, not being able to reach out for help, and suicide rates increasing among high school students during COVID,” Frazier said. Frazier also plans to discuss what Sylvia’s does to help combat feelings of isolation among youth. “We do have a video we produced to help parents or adults recognize abuse Frazier during the pandemic,” she said. The video is called “The ONE THING You Can Do to Protect Kids During Shelter-inPlace” on sylviascac.org. “Our facility is very child-friendly,” Frazier said. “So we like to get people here for a tour. It’s a lot easier than we explain it.” Frazier said the opportunity to share what the program does helps in fundraising for Sylvia’s programs.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury. For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Sean Ferbrache is a retired firefighter after working 26 year with the Indianapolis Fire Dept. and after 11 years as a Safety Team Member with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A lifetime of strenuous work and spending long hours standing on his feet, Sean sought relief at Methodist Sports Medicine where he first met Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer, Sara Myers. Sara worked with Sean for only a short time when she knew he needed to be seen by an MSM Foot & Ankle Specialist, Dr. David Porter. Sean knew he had a challenge ahead of him when he was told that he had chronic ankle instability and impingement of his ankle joint, severe bone spurs and a bone defect. In other words, he needed some new wheels. Dr. Porter performed arthroscopic surgery in December 2018. Now, Sean is loving retired life and enjoying hiking with his wife, hunting, playing tennis and enjoying being a new grandparent.

Sean Ferbrache, retired firefighter & retired IMS safety team member

WHY MSM: “They have the best physicians and rehab facilities,” Sean said. “I liked the fact I could see Dr. Porter and Sara in the same building. Communication was excellent. Sara knew exactly what I was going through before I could even explain it. I felt comfortable with the MSM team. They took the time to listen to my concerns.”

THE JOURNEY: “I had the opportunity to guide Sean through his rehabilitation, during the recovery process, following his ankle surgery. We always want to see our patients get back to whatever it is they love,” Myers said. “We set a goal of getting back to working on the racetrack that involved rapid response times and some crazy inclines! He also worked hard to get Sara Myers back to hiking with his wife, tennis and hunting. When he reached every goal, it was a testament to his hard work, and I love knowing that he just finished a 12-mile hike with his wife!” – Sara Myers, Certified Athletic Trainer at Methodist Sports Medicine

Dr. Porter

“Sean is a testimony to the hard work and determination necessary to return to the quality of life enabling him to fulfill his passion.” – Dr. Porter THE MSM EXPERIENCE: “The team at MSM can get you back to what you love doing, regardless of your activity,” Sean said.” Those who read this and who are experiencing pain and discomfort, you don’t have to take the journey alone. (MSM) truly understands what you are going through and will take the journey with you each step of the way.”

ZCHS’s Tanona quickly sold on Notre Dame By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School junior offensive tackle Joey Tanona had a plethora of offers from college footFOOTBALL ball powerhouses, including Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and LSU. However, one stood out from the start. “I visited Notre Dame Feb. 1 for their junior day, and within 15 minutes, I thought, ‘I have to go Tanona here,’” he said. “I just felt the tradition, academics and athletics were it for me. I was 100 percent set on it.” Tanona got an offer from Notre Dame May 1; he told the Irish coaches of his commitment July 20 and announced it July 25. The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Tanona became the first commitment for Notre Dame in the class of 2022 in July. ESPN ranks Tanona as the top player in his class from Indiana and 86th nationally. “It definitely is a weight off my shoulders, and I can focus on this season and what needs to be done,” he said. Scott Turnquist is in his second season as ZCHS coach. Turnquist heard there was a talented sophomore, and he wasn’t disappointed. Tanona started at left tackle on a line that included senior center Gus Hartwig, who is now a freshman football player at Purdue. “Right from the start when I got there, you could just tell there was a lot of potential there with Joey,” said Turnquist, whose team is slated to open the season at Pike Aug. 21. “He really built on that, and we could see he was doing some really good things at a young age, so it was cool to see.” Tanona excelled at left tackle against strong competition. “Against the teams we play in our conference (Hoosier Crossroads) — we play some teams from the MIC — it was cool to see him hold his own,” Turnquist said. “There were hiccups along the way here and there, but we were able to see him constantly improve and be extremely coachable. He continued to develop throughout the year and in the offseason as well. He’s developed nicely as far as his body and strength and conditioning.”

Zionsville awards local retailer $10,000 grant news@currentinzionsville.com Zionsville retailer Lesley Jane has received a $10,000 grant from the Town of Zionsville Community Development Corp. PANDEMIC Lesley Jane owner Lesley Hunt applied for the grant in early July and was awarded the full amount. Hunt said Lesley Jane, a women’s specialty boutique on Main Street, will use the grant primarily to update the business’ website. The update will allow the business to process online orders and gift cards and sync existing software packages. The grant also will cover losses

from unsold prom dresses, seasonal stock expenditures and marketing efforts. “I’d like to express my gratitude to the Town of Zionsville Community Development Corporation and its committee members who reviewed my grant application and approved it,” Hunt stated. “Now I am hopeful. Without this grant, I would not be able to recover the losses incurred from a prom season that was canceled as a result of the current pandemic. Thanks to this grant, I will be able to pivot my business model and focus on the redevelopment of my retail website — which has been my plan — as I continue to navigate through this unprecedented crisis.”

To help local businesses impacted by COVID-19 and ease the burden of unplanned expenses and lost revenue caused by to the pandemic, Zionsville launched the CDC grant program earlier this summer. The funding option is available to businesses in the 106th Street tax increment finance district, an area bordered by Poplar Street, Elm Street, 96th Street, Michigan Road and Zionsville Road. “These are unprecedented times and we recognize that local businesses need support,” stated Cara Weber, the corporation’s president. “We’re happy to do our part to help support businesses, which are vital to the economic health and well-being of the community.”

Expansion project delayed By Calina He news@currentzionsville.com It’s taken a bit longer than expected, but Children’s TherAplay expects to have its expansion project completed UPDATE in December. The facility will nearly triple in size, growing from 4,000 to 11,000 square feet at 9919 Towne Rd. in west Carmel. “Our project began in mid-April. COVID-19 actually worked to our advantage in that it allowed us to move forward because there was a lot of disruptive construction that was going to be challenging for us to do in our facility,” Executive Director Kathy Pelletier said. “We were all working remotely, which really gave (construction crews) the opportunity to work on-site without any interruptions.” Children’s TherAplay originally planned to finish the expansion in November 2019. The project was delayed primarily because of permitting issues. “We had some significant permit delays that were unexpected with the City of Carmel,” Pelletier said. “They delayed our process for about six months. We made the decision to wait until the spring of 2020 to

Take care of your feet and legs As we continue to spend time at home, here are some very basic yet helpful tips to remain injury free. 1. Limit how much you walk barefoot around the house: While at home, you may think that walking around barefoot, in socks or house slippers is OK. However, most homes have hard wood floors or tile, and walking or standing on hard surfaces can lead to heel pain, achilles pain or soreness in the ball of the foot. Walking around without good support can cause re-injury. Make sure you have a well fitted, supportive shoe (preferably a running sneaker) and wear this around the house to support and protect your feet. 2. Do daily stretching: If you’re used to wearing high heels to work and are now wearing no shoes or flats, consider daily stretching and wearing shoes around the house that also have some heel lift. If you are tight in the legs and hips, practice daily stretching and wearing proper footwear. Taking short breaks to walk around can be very helpful.

3. What to do if you experience pain: The first step in any overuse injury is Rest, Ice and Elevate. Consider taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Advil or Aleve if you can tolerate those medications. If the pain does not resolve in a few days, please call our office and we would be happy to help. If it’s a traumatic event -- fall, laceration or wound -- please call our office for an urgent appointment. 4. Exercise: This is a great way to keep stress levels down but be careful not to overdo it. Start any new exercise routine slowly and increase by 10% weekly as you get better and fit. Moderate exercise with low to medium intensity is best for most people. A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC.

Benefits of online tutoring Commentary by Max Pavlovsky Have you ever considered hiring an online tutor for algebra, precalculus, AP calculus or AP statistics for your EDUCATION child but were skeptical since you had never tried it? Perhaps you’ve only experienced face-to-face tutoring. For many reasons, online tutoring could be a better option for your child, especially in this COVID-19 environment. Here are several reasons to consider an online tutor: Convenience: Tutoring sessions can be scheduled to occur anytime or anywhere without worrying about transportation for your child to and from the library, school or coffee shop, thus saving the parent and the child time that would otherwise be wasted. Personalization: The online tutor can work more closely with your child and be more available for last-minute or quick questions, such as might occur the night before a test when libraries and coffee shops are closed. More engaging with technology: Kids

are comfortable with using technology and always looking for the latest and greatest tools to accomplish the work they need to do. Access to vast resources: An online tutor typically has knowledge of many online resources, such as websites that provide example problems, check solutions and provide interactive, hands-on activities. The online tutor can prescribe exactly the right tool for the student and train them on it. Network: Online tutors network with other tutors and can collaborate to give your child the best possible tutoring experience. Availability: Online tutors can be available any time of the day or night and are not limited to just one geographic location. Efficiency: More tasks can be accomplished and less time wasted as typically happens in a face-to-face tutoring situation. Max Pavlovsky is a Westfield resident and professional math tutor and former engineer and computer professional. He can be reached at 423-227-8873 or maxmathtutoring@gmail.com.

BACK TO SCHOOL ZCS navigates reopening during the pandemic By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community Schools started its school year Aug. 10, beginning an unprecedented experiment to continue in-person classes amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. On the same day, ZCS Supt. Scott Robison confirmed a person connected to Zionsville Middle School tested positive for COVID-19, the same day the school district started its academic year. The situation led school officials to keep all eighth-graders from in-person attendance at ZMS until the week of August 24. Although schools in the district started their fall semester Aug. 10, ZMS students did not attend in-person classes until Aug. 11. Along with other ZCS secondary schools, ZMS offered remote learning the first day of the semester due to the school district’s hybrid schedule, which calls for all secondary schools to conduct remote learning classes on Mondays. Elementary schools in the district returned to in-person classes Aug. 10. After contact with the Boone County Health Dept., which set the duration of quarantine for all involved in the case, ZCS officials announced eighth-grade students would, while learning remotely, follow the same daily schedule and be taught by the faculty members to whom they were as-

signed this semester. Robison said in an email that ZCS would refrain from sharing any information that could identify the person who tested positive, including their age and role at the school. He said the school district will not release identifying information of any person related to the schools who tests positive for COVID-19. Other schools across the state have reported COVID-19 cases, many of which did so in the first week of reopening to in-person classes, including schools in Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield. BCHD Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said schools should expect some cases of COVID-19 through the year. “The overall goal (early in the pandemic) was not necessarily to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Boone County because we knew that would be impossible,” Haughton said. “Our goal was to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed. That was the overarching goal: try to save lives and do everything we can to make sure our hospitals aren’t getting in over their heads with serious cases or deaths. “It is a highly infectious disease, and we know young people are more likely to not have symptoms, so they are more likely to go around undetected, so I don’t think there would be any way we could keep our schools completely COVID-free. But we are going to do our best. Schools are going to work really, really hard to stop the spread of the disease in the schools.” BCHD officials confirmed students who

attend county schools have tested positive for COVID-19 during the summer. The health department does not keep age-related cumulative data at the county level, so it is unclear how many tested positive. Haughton said extra curricular activities such as contact sports are believed to have been the source of some cases. ZCS’s school year had already been delayed from Aug. 4, the school district’s original first planned day of the semester. Other Boone County schools, including Western Boone County Community School Corp. schools and Lebanon Community School Corp. schools returned to school later in the week. On Aug. 11, when secondary schools returned to class, students walked through halls with masks, which were required in all schools by the school district. Students wore them through the day, outside buildings and on to their respective buses without removing them at the end of the day — one of the many changes students adjusted to. Some students at secondary schools were sequestered into groups to further decrease the chance of a large COVID-19 outbreak at one of the schools (some students chose a remote learning option, meaning they won’t be returning to in-person classes for the semester). Students attending in-person classes were grouped together by last name — students with last names beginning with A through K in one group, students with last names beginning with L through Z in another. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, only students in the former group attend classes, and on Thursdays and

Fridays only students in the latter group attend classes, each attending four of their eight block classes each day. On Mondays, while remote learning, students will complete all eight of their block classes. All in-person elementary students will attend in-person every school day. All remote elementary students will attend remotely each day with their designated, ZCS instructor at the lead.

LITTLE HUMANS Each year Zionsville Community Schools Supt. Scott Robison reads a children’s book to kindergarteners. This year, he read “Little Humans” by Brandon Staton. “This time we’ve been through can make us all feel small,” Robison said in a ZCS video released Aug. 9, the day before the school district’s semester began. “I just wanted to say we are all coming back in a time that is very uncommon, and that’s OK. In fact, we get stronger when we find our way through things and when we are solution-minded together. “There are times in life when we just feel like a little human,” Robison said to the children of ZCS. “We do really big things when we do just the small act of social distancing and wearing our masks.” Robison concluded the video by saying, “It’s going to be a great school year in the Zionsville Community Schools.”

LETTER

In harm’s way

Harmony between safety, faith

Commentary by Terry Anker

Alongside one another on a city street, probably administratively correct but just barely wide enough for bulking emergency vehicles, two motorists — an empty ambulance and a sedan — were aligned next to each other. The ambulance driver was likely bored from his daily task of ferrying northside patients to downtown hospitals for testing and treatment; and the other was returning home enjoying the evening sun. As the two vehicles were first as the traffic light descended from red to green, they both advanced, side by side. Twenty feet from the crosswalk, the ambulance driver, eagerly finishing the important text message that had affixed his cellphone to the center of the steering wheel and his gaze to it, allowed the now unrestrained and lumbering giant to nudge itself into the lane to its right — claiming real estate until others had no choice but to take the ditch as refuge. Alerted by the crunching steel precipitated by his absent-mindedness, the phone was dropped and the wheel reclaimed as the now-tamed colossus sped off in shame. The beleaguered and disabled passenger automobile took stock that all occupants were safe and accounted for, and then the fright of the moment shifted from abject fear to understandable frustration. Happily, there was only mechanical and not physical damage. And, thanks to traffic cams and a report from police that “this happens all the time,” the health care company took responsibility for the repair (but not for the hours of inconvenience it precipitated). Do we flee from the damage of our own lack of attention, assuming the harm we inflict on others as inconsequential and not intentional? Do we measure our minor effort against their significant harm? Is it our nature to count those we injure as egregiously as we measure those hurting us? Do we wonder who are we running off the road?

An (almost) empty nest Commentary by Danielle Wilson In a few short days, my husband Doo and I will be relishing the return to our almost empty nest. Praise be! We’ll HUMOR still have our youngest around to keep us young, but the eldest three will be heading back to their respective college campuses, COVID-19 be damned. And it’s been a fascinating run-up to said departures, given the different personalities of our kids. The oldest has been fairly nonchalant. He has already made one trip to Bloomington to move out of one shoddy apartment and into a slightly better house, though that just means all of his beerstained stuff is now piled in a basement. He plans to show up a day or two before classes, plenty of time to organize, find a job and prep for the enviable grind of student life. Our older daughter is at the complete opposite end of the coed spectrum. She’ll be driving to Colorado for her sophomore year and only has a Honda Accord’s worth of

space with which to work. Our kitchen table has become a triage as she weighs the pros and cons of each small appliance, piece of clothing and pair of boots. What will make the cut? The intrigue is palpable. Her twin is perhaps the saddest to observe. He’s transferring to Ball State from a California school because it’s going online this semester. He knows he’s been accepted, and that’s about it. He has no move-in date, no dorm assignment, no desire whatsoever to visit Muncie. His lack of enthusiasm is outweighed only slightly by his disdain for being in Indiana. Hashtag heartbroken. Regardless, a near empty nest approaches! Peace out.

Editor, Every year, millions of Muslims around the world make a journey to the holy city of Mecca to perform the Hajj, which is obligatory once in a lifetime but only for those with means and if their circumstances permit. The Hajj is one of the five pillars on which Islam is built on. People at home celebrate Eid al-Adha, “the feast of sacrifice,” that commemorates the end of the Hajj. Every year, around 2 million people attend the Hajj. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials of Hajj of Saudi Arabia made a critical decision to limit the number of pilgrims to around 1,000. It also issued guidelines for safe Eid al-Adha addressing social distancing at prayer and public gatherings. These circumstances remind us about the story of how God commended prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of faith. This story has institutionalized the practice of sacrifice, patience and obedience in Islam and continues to be honored by 1.8 billion Muslims each year. This upcoming Hajj pilgrimage and Eid al-Adha will be a testament to the harmony between safety and faith and will serve as proof that protecting one another is truly part of faith.

More trips down memory lane Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I announced my retirement from television last month, WISH-TV asked me to send them some tapes of my HUMOR favorite shows for my send-off. I had favorites in my head, I just didn’t have the tapes. Back in the ’80s and ’90s, I had to remember to set my VCR each morning, and quite frankly, I had never quite mastered that skill. But there is a tape running in my head, and unless I accidentally erase it, I still have some great memories. So, for the next two weeks’ columns, I’ll hit the replay button. Tall in the saddle At Hoosier Park, I asked a jockey to stand on a chair and allow me to interview him as “Otto, the world’s tallest jockey.” The camera only revealed us above the waist. The jockey played it totally straight, even lamenting his poor basketball skills in high school. The photographer never revealed the chair because it was so obviously a gag. Turns out the horse’s owner was watching and had never met Otto — and had never seen me on TV. She didn’t know I did “shtick.” She called Hoosier Park in a panic,

concerned that her horse would be carrying a 6-foot-3 rider. How good an actor was Otto? He ended up playing the jockey in the movie “Secretariat.” My best pun In the early ’80s, I was hosting “Good Morning, New York.” I had the opportunity to interview boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard. Because he was doing 7-Up commercials at the time, I asked him if he would mind autographing a 2-liter bottle I picked up on the way to the studio. “But, Dick,” he said, “this is regular 7-Up. I just do the Diet 7-Up commercials.” “OK, then, could you sign it “Sugar-Free Ray Leonard?” Sheet music The Sybaris hotel is a place for lovers, complete with hot tubs and mirrors. When I interviewed the owner in one of the rooms, behind us in bed were friends I had asked to be part of the stunt. There was no han-

ky-panky going on, but they kept peeking out from under the covers. Well, the next day, scores of people told me that I had inadvertently gone into an occupied room. Seriously? Jaw-dropping observation Almost 35 years ago, I did a segment in Columbus, Ohio, about couples who swing. This wasn’t dancing. These were married folks who switched partners. When I got home, my wife told me how impressed she was with the guests. “You were impressed?” I asked, jaw dropping. “Yes. We can’t even find a couple to go to the movies with.”

Zionsville approves abatement for logistics company By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council approved a tax abatement during its Aug. 3 meeting for a logistics company that wants to establish a presence along InTOWN COUNCIL terstate 65. Prologis, L.P., a logistics company founded in 1983 that has $125 billion in assets under management, requested a 10-year standard tax abatement from the town. The request was unanimously approved. The company expects to invest $47,650,000 in the project, according to Matt Price, a Prologis legal representative. The property is at 5190 S. Ind. 267, near the northwest corner of C.R. 550 and Ind. 267. The project would consist of two 550,000-square-foot buildings near the I-65 interchange near Ind. 267 and the soon-tobe-built midway interchange at C.R. 550 S. that state officials hope will alleviate traffic from the former interchange and Whites-

town Parkway interchange. “Their business modeling suggests that there is going to be a substantial demand for these type of land uses due to changes in the supply chain, accelerated acceptance and integration of e-commerce and a diversification of where manufacturing facilities are being located,” Price said during the council’s July 20 meeting. He added that many of the changes were due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic. To prepare the site for the project, the roughly 76-acre property was rezoned at the council’s July 20 meeting from a rural agriculture district to a rural industry district. The town council will next hold a public hearing for the project before voting whether to adopt a confirmatory resolution. Prologis, according to its website, has multiple warehouses in Indianapolis and operates industrial real estate properties, including several adjacent to the Interstate 465 beltway, west and north of downtown.

DISPATCHES Indiana’s best college values — With the first “early decision” college-application deadline looming Nov. 1 and tuition costs having more than doubled since the 1980s, the personal-finance website WalletHub has released its 2019 Best College & University Rankings. To help college-bound seniors make the most informed school choices, WalletHub compared nearly 1,000 higher-education institutions in the U.S. based on 30 key measures grouped into seven categories, such as student selectivity, cost and financing and career outcomes. The data set ranges from student-faculty ratio to graduation rate to post-attendance median salary. Indiana’s top 10 colleges, in order, are the University Notre Dame, Purdue University, Depauw University, Wabash College, University of Evansville, Indiana University, Goshen College, Ball State University, Butler University and St. Mary’s College. Source: WalletHub.com Lying about money — A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way. More than three-quarters of people surveyed fessed up to having

committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged. Source: Finder.com New initiative benefits truckers — The Indiana Dept. of Transportation recently announced the launch of the Trucks Park Here system, a multi-state, regional effort to make interstate travel safer by creating a network of safe, convenient parking areas for truckers with the ability to collect and share real-time parking availability with drivers through dynamic message signs, smartphone applications, and traveler information websites. INDOT will feature 19 sites in the Trucks Park Here system along Interstates 65, 69 and 70. These routes are among some of the most important corridors in the U.S. with truck volumes already exceeding 25,000 trucks per day and expected to grow.

Boone County Health Dept. outlines guidance for schools By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept., in conjunction with Boone County school districts, is employing guidance crePANDEMIC ated by the South Carolina Dept. of Health and Environmental Control to determine if and when schools should close due to COVID-19. The guidance is a low, medium, high ranking system, measuring three rates of

COVID-19 spread in a county: Its two-week cumulative incidence rate, trend in incidence rate and its two-week percent positive rate. BCHD Emergency Services Director Tom Ryan said two of the three rates would need a “high” classification to close schools to in-person classes under the guidance. Two-week cumulative incidence rate: The number of new infections per 100,000 county residents (Boone County has 67,843 residents, according to most recent census estimates.)

• Low: 0-50 new infections • Medium: 51-200 new infections • High: ≥ 201 new infections Trend in incidence rate: Whether cases in the county are increasing, stable or decreasing. • Low: Decreasing • Medium: Stable • High: Increasing Two-week percent positive rate: The percentage of tests that are positive. • Low: ≤ 5 percent

• Medium: 5.1-9.9 percent • High: ≥ 10 percent “We all looked at it and decided this is a formula we can use and makes it pretty simple. The health department and the schools all agreed to use this,” Ryan said. Although the guidance provides a way to determine when schools should close, Ryan said school districts have the option to close schools to in-person classes before two of the three rates reach a high classification.

The Meatball 10000 had more than 800 cars. “We’re looking to build on its success,” Leonard said. “We’re asking that any onlookers along the route in every community maintain a safe social distance, wear masks and follow guidance of municipal and health care leaders.” Revolanté was scheduled for Aug. 30 for the first time with a partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Patrons can add chicken to the Quinoa Buddha Bowl for an extra serving of protein. But the bowl is a great vegetarian option without the chicken. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Rosie’s Place

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 68 N. Ninth St., Noblesville What to get: Quinoa Buddha Bowl Price: $10.95 Anna’s take: Rosie’s Place is an excellent choice for a refreshing breakfast or lunch in downtown Noblesville. I ordered the Quinoa Buddha Bowl because I was feeling healthy for once. It is a vegetarian option with some great plant protein from spicy, crispy chickpeas, but because I’m not a vegetarian, I added chicken to the bowl. The dish remind-

ed me of a salad with its mixed greens, chickpeas, slices of creamy avocado and quinoa with a roasted red pepper sauce. The serving is sprinkled with sesame seeds and served with tahini dressing. Tahini is a type of seed butter made from ground and hulled sesame seeds and is common in Middle Eastern cuisine. I topped my order by buying five Gooey Butter Cookies ($2.25 each). Although not as healthy as the salad, the cookies are definitely something to splurge on.

Don Knebel in Rural India. (Photo by Jen Knebel)

Reflections of world travel Commentary by Don Knebel As hard as it is for me to believe, this is my 400th column about travel. As a result, I am taking this opportunity to TRAVEL look back at those columns. In October 2011, I told Current publisher Brian Kelly that I was about to leave for South Africa and we talked about some of the countries I had visited. He invited me to write a travel column and I agreed. My first column was published on Feb. 22, 2012. The subject was international toilets, a subject I promised never to write about again. In July 2013, I began writing every week and have continued to do so since. The columns have not always appeared in all Current print editions, but all have been on the Current website. All the columns are on my website, donknebel.com., organized by country and searchable. In the 399 previous columns, I have written about places of interest in 40 countries. Thirty-six columns have been about India, which I have visited three times. I have

written 33 columns about Egypt, my favorite country outside the United States. Thirty columns have described sites in Israel and another 11 have been about Jerusalem. Twenty-five columns have talked about Syria and 32 have explored places in the United States. The word “tomb” appears in 54 columns and the word “body” can be found in 38. The word “church” is in 127 columns, the word “temple” in 96 and the word “mosque” in 43. Seventy-nine columns mention Jesus and 14 mention Muhammad. More than 100 columns mention God or gods. Three mention Satan. In my first column (the one about toilets), I promised to try to relate lessons I have learned in my travels. As I continue to write, I will try to maintain that promise. I cannot wait to resume traveling.
