Gateway plan listening session upcoming — The town hopes to engage the community during a Zionsville Gateway Area Listening Session scheduled for Thursday from 4-8 p.m. at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds. The Listening Session will be limited to a certain number of volunteers due to social distancing guidelines. Volunteers participating in the session must sign up for a time slot in advance at zionsvillegateway.eventbrite. com. For more, visit zionsville-in.gov/567/ Zionsville-Gateway-Area.
Brush and limb collection — Brush and limb collection in Zionsville takes place the weeks of September 28 and October 5. This service provides Zionsville residents in the Urban Service District a means to dispose of certain pruning and yard debris. All items must be placed curbside by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of each resident’s designated week. Crews will work to collect all properly placed material no later than the following Friday but may complete this task earlier. For more information, visit zionsville-in.
smaller particles, or aerosols, to linger in the air, also posing a risk of infection, Box said. “Cloth face coverings have been shown to substantially limit the spread of exhaled respiratory droplets, and they may prevent the inhalation of infected particles suspended in the air from another individual,” Box said. “This should not be a surprise to us because masks have been worn in health care settings to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses for years. We also wear masks in surgery to prevent infecting a patient who’s undergoing surgery.” Box said a recent study found that, compared to the general population, front-line health care workers were infected with the virus at a similar rate, despite being more frequently exposed to the virus. She said universal face mask adherence was part of a successful plan to protect the workers. Box warned of the danger of Hoosiers becoming complacent to mitigation efforts. “All it takes is one outbreak or a group of people who don’t wear a mask or don’t practice social distancing, and those numbers can spike quickly, so as we move into Stage 5, it’s absolutely imperative that we remember that this is not a return to life as we knew it in January or February,” Box said. COVID-19 school metrics State officials shared a historical snapshot of an upcoming school COVID-19 dashboard showing 1,348 cumulative student positive cases as of Sept. 18. The snapshot also showed 488 new COVID-19 cases were reported between Sept. 13 and Sept. 18. Another 104 teachers and 115 staff members tested positive statewide in the same week. In total, the snapshot showed 274 cumulative teacher cases and 276 cumulative staff cases. Box said state officials plan to launch the dashboard by the end of the month. It will be made available at coronavirus.in.gov. gov/151/Brush-Limb-Collection.

County celebrates bridge reopening By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County and Zionsville officials gathered Sept. 17 to celebrate the reopening of the Sycamore INFRASTRUCTURE Street Bridge, which county and town officials said was the culmination of a 10-plus-year rehabilitation process. Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said the bridge was built in 1954. Inspections were conducted in 2007 and 2010. “If that gives you an idea of how long it takes to put a bridge project like this together, we’re back 10 years,” Wolfe said
during the ceremony. “We made an application in (2015) for the funding, and we were notified in (2016) that it was awarded, and moving forward from then was how we got to today where we have a beautiful, finished bridge.” Boone County Councilor Elise Nieshalla said the engineering was funded entirely by the county, and county funds were leveraged to satisfy 80 percent of the construction and inspection costs. Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron said the reopened bridge will provide another access point into the town for visitors and customers. The project began Feb. 10.

• Oct. 29: “Managing the Influence of Implicit Bias” • Nov. 5: “Systematic Racism: What is the Definition and Who Does it Impact?” • Nov. 12: “How Can We Improve Racial Justice?” Robinson-Armstrong will facilitate the conversations. Robinson-Armstrong is a former vice president for Intercultural Affairs and professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She has decades of experience in higher education, and during her 18 years at LMU, she designed and implemented an evidence-based program to identify and mitigate implicit bias. Participants included more than 8,000 executive and mid-level administrators, professors, K-12 teachers, staff and students across the U.S. and Canada. “Participation in the conversations will motivate some participants to examine their attitudes and consider the way that systems they may be part of contribute to the negative consequences of systematic racism,” Robinson-Armstrong stated. “Then they will be more prepared for thinking about how to make things better in Zionsville.” Styron and ZPD Chief Michael Spears will join Robinson-Armstrong during the conversations. Organizers will host a virtual presentation followed by a short question and answer session each week. There also will be weekly readings on the topics sent to the group and short pre- and post-session homework to facilitate discussions. Styron said the conversations should allow for an open-ended conversation between residents and the police department. “I really hope through these conversations more people in our community have an opportunity to talk about these issues and listen and let themselves grow through learning more about issues and situations that we may not feel directly through our own experience but can through these conversations,” Styron said. Participants in the Community Conversations series will be invited to join the discussions virtually. To participate, contact ZPD Det. Elizabeth Frost at efrost@zionsville-in.gov.

Although Indiana entered Stage 5 of its Back on Track reopening plan on Sept. 26, marking an end to capacity PANDEMIC limits in shops, restaurants and other businesses, one Zionsville pub owner said the move does little to help local businesses. “It doesn’t really change anything,” said Scott Barnes, owner of The Friendly Tavern. “You still have to keep your 6 feet of separation between your tables, so honestly, it doesn’t really change anything at all, at least for our situation.” Barnes, a restaurant owner for more than 46 years, said because of restrictions on bar areas, where patrons must be seated and spaced at least 6 feet apart, he can’t add bar seating, and he said the pub won’t be able to add additional dining tables indoors because of social distancing restrictions. Barnes said the pub’s carryout business has helped the pub during the long stretch of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Friendly Tavern, which does not have outdoor dining, closed for two weeks in April before resuming carryout orders. He said the success of carryout and the gradual return of in-person diners has allowed the pub to sustain business. “Just being in the business, it’s hard enough with everything you have to deal with,” Barnes said. “I was hoping it wasn’t going to last this long, that it wouldn’t go all winter, but it looks like it is going to. You feel like you might have control over your business, but right now it doesn’t feel like it. Right now, it feels like you’re kind of just existing. It’s hard to plan too much or do
too much. You just don’t know.” Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allyson Gutwein said the winter months will be difficult for local businesses and restaurants because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are looking at this time of year whenever it is beautiful outside, let’s get people out and dining because I know there are quite a few people who enjoy outdoor dining and prefer outdoor dining,” Gutwein said. “As things get a little cooler, we are looking at kind of a tricky winter season. In combination with COVID, we also have flu season.” Gutwein said restaurants that have capitalized on outdoor dining would likely see less patrons willing to dine outdoors as the weather cools. During that period, she said it is vital to support local businesses. “I think the biggest thing is that we have to get out and support these local businesses,” Gutwein said. “There are going to be closures all over the state that are going to be exceptionally frightening, and if we don’t want our town to represent and reflect those numbers, it is on us as people who live here and love the restaurants and retailers that represent our town to get out and support them.” To help local businesses during the winter months, the ZCC will promote Small Business Saturday and other initiatives during the fourth quarter of the year and the first quarter of next year. The chamber also plans to launch shopzionsvillechamber. com, created by Perfit, a Zionsville startup, where customers can search for a variety of products. The website will display a list of Zionsville stores that carry the products with an option to reserve a time to visit the store if needed, Gutwein said.

Don’t cut Medicare funding Commentary by Dr. John McGoff At the height of the pandemic, you could see the signs everywhere – “Thank you to the heroes.” Doctors, nursVIEWPOINT es and clinicians across the country have risked their lives to treat patients suffering from this deadly virus. We owe these heroes our thanks and complete support. But Washington, D.C., is planning cuts for critical front-line providers. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is preparing to lower the reimbursement rate for patients covered by Medicare. CMS already reimburses providers below the cost to provide treatment, and further reductions will be disastrous for already struggling care providers. In March, state and local governments across the country mandated hospitals and clinics cancel or postpone elective treatments. This was a smart move at the time, and it freed critical resources to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. But many health care providers took a heavy hit. Emergency departments saw 50 percent fewer patients, and some specialties, including
anesthesia, saw almost 70 percent fewer patients in March and April. With fewer patients, there have been almost 800,000 jobs lost in health care since February. CMS’ decision to reduce reimbursement rates will put further financial strain on struggling health care providers. Since 2010, more than 130 rural hospitals have closed and hundreds of hospitals and clinics in rural communities remain at high risk of closing. Cutting Medicare reimbursement rates could be the final nail in the coffin for rural hospitals across Indiana. Congress worked this spring to pass the bipartisan CARES Act, which gave needed aid to heroic front-line providers. Congress, including U.S. Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), has the power to support our health care heroes and postpone this disastrous rate cut. Front-line providers are warning Congress that this pay cut will have disastrous consequences. Dr. John McGoff is former President of the Indiana State Medical Association, a retired Brigadier General in the Air National Guard and served as the Marion County Coroner for two terms.

Service expands into county By Heather Collins news@currentzionsville.com The Ring family has been in the business of delivering healthy, GROCERIES organic food to local Hoosiers since groceries were delivered by horse-drawn buggy. The great-great-grandparents of Dave Ring operated The Crescent Grocery Store in Indiana, which survived through the Great Depression. Now, Ring and his wife, Sara, are owners of Muncie-based The Downtown Farm Stand that has recently expanded its delivery service to include Hamilton County and Zionsville. The Rings started a small, organic farm in 2000 before opening The Downtown Farm Stand in 2007 with a goal of building a local organic food system for their farm, other farmers and consumers. Dave Ring describes The Downtown Farm Stand as a retro grocery store that harkens to the days when the corner grocery store supplied the community with food from local producers. “Local food and connections to local farms help instill our connection to food

culture, the land and our traditions. We can support local economies and help increase the food security in our area,” Ring said. “Just like we saw during the start of the (COVID-19) pandemic, local food supply is critical to our food security, but it goes even deeper than that. Supporting local farms, processors and all the components of a food system helps to support a healthy economy. The bonus for us is that we get better, fresher food that tastes the best, is in season and has a higher nutrient content.” For more, visit downtownfarmstand.com.

Boone County sees influx in absentee ballots by mail By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com
Boone County will plan for an increase in absentee ballots by mail ahead of the general election, but Boone County Clerk Jessica Fouts estimates the county will receive fewer than it did during the May primary, when the state was still under a lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An absentee ballot, which is completed when a voter delivers their ballot to the county election board by mail, email, fax or in-person delivery, grants a voter the ability to vote in the Nov. 3 general election without doing so in person. Those who plan to submit an absentee ballot are instructed to do so at least 12 days before the election, by Oct. 22. In less than a week, Fouts said her office received more than 4,000 applications by mail, but she doesn’t expect the county to receive more during the general election than the 10,000 absentee ballots by mail it received in the primary. The county had mailed 5,271 absentee ballots as of Sept. 24. Fouts said her office has hired two parttime employees to help process the ballots. On Oct. 6, when in-person voting and mailout ballots begin, an additional four employees will be hired. In the event the county receives as many, if not more, absentee ballots by mail, Fouts said her office will have three times as many people ready to count and sort them, and they will be assisted by two laptops and two scanners, something she hopes will facilitate quicker results. “We’ve been working on preparing to do mail in since the end of August,” Fouts said. “People don’t realize that every bubble card has to be marked, every ballot has to be printed and stapled and stamped and folded. There are thousands of man-hours that have to go into this before we even start mailing them out. It’s an unbelievably time-consuming process. “We usually have several thousand (absentee ballots by mail), but it has definitely

increased. And I think after the primary, when so many people voted by mail, they realized how easy it was, and they’re just going to continue to do it.” To file an absentee ballot by mail, voters must mark one of 12 reasons on an application listing why they can’t vote in person Nov. 3. Unlike the May primary, voters filing applications for absentee ballots by mail ahead of the Nov. 3 general election will not be able to list the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason. “In the primary, we were under a primary lockdown mandated by the state,” Fouts said. “Now that the state has opened back up, people are going out and about to football games and Walmart. There is no reason
to waive that requirement now.” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said during a Sept. 23 virtual press conference that the general election is a different scenario due to the state entering Stage 5 of its reopening plan, which lifts most crowd-gathering restrictions. Of the absentee ballots filed so far, Fouts said the most common reason given has been the exception for voters 65 or older who are allowed to list their age as a reason to request a ballot. She said it is historically the most common reason. Other reasons to request an absentee ballot by mail include a resident who doesn’t expect to be in the county on election day, voters
COVER STORY ADDED VOTING SITES The county will open 10 voting sites Nov. 3. For the May primary, only two voting sites were open in Boone County: The Boone County Courthouse and Zionsville Town Hall. County officials hope the added sites will faciliate a quicker turnaround for results. “We’re going to try to be a little more efficient than we were in the spring because I know it took us a couple of days,” Boone County Clerk Jessica Fouts said. “Both parties are providing additional counters that they didn’t provide last time.” Although complete results the night of the election are not expected, Fouts still hopes for a timely count. “Since we’re doing more vote centers, and they all vote on machine, those results will be quicker,” Fouts said. The 10 sites will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 3, and voting sites will be open starting Oct. 24 at various times nearly every day leading up to the election, which Fouts said will provide “plenty of dates and times and ways to spread out.” The Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library was recently added as a voting site for Nov. 3. Zionsville Town Hall also will be a voting site. Fouts said she encourages Boone County residents to consider voting at the Boone County Courthouse starting Oct. 6. “(It is) the least busy, most efficient location they can go to,” Fouts said. “The state did provide enough (personal protective equipment) for voters as well as workers this time, so there will be plenty of masks and gloves and hand sanitizer at each location for early voting and on election day.” The state also granted the county a $14,000 grant through the CARES Act to help offset some of the added election costs. For a full list of voting sites and dates, visit boonecounty.in.gov/Offices/Clerk/ Election-Information. confined to their residence and exceptions for disabled voters, among other reasons. “Some people have hand-written in COVID,” Fouts said, “but they’ve been sent a letter that says that’s not a valid reason. You have to pick a valid reason or vote in person.” For a full list of reasons needed to apply for an absentee ballot, visit in.gov/sos/elections/2402.htm.

ESSAY
LETTER
Rye response
Vote for Biden Editor, I am a Vietnam-era veteran who served proudly and lost friends and relatives to the war. My wife and I have lived in Lawrence Township for more than 25 years. Donald Trump’s repeated slighting of our nation’s distinguished veterans appalls me. Our commander-in-chief is a draft dodger with a fictitious bone spur in his heel. My dismay has turned to anger. How dare he call our veterans who laid down their lives for our country “suckers” and “losers?” How dare he? How dare he? I will continue to do the best for my family and my country by voting for Joe Biden, an honorable, honest, capable patriot who believes that our veterans are heroes. I strongly suggest you do the same. Russ Eberhart, Indianapolis
Commentary by Terry Anker The news reports are tough. A recent poll of our remaining restaurants holds that, in addition to the many already closed during this pandemic, a full 40 percent more expect to be closed within six months. Some of the more cynical among us might proclaim, “Good. COVID made us stay home and made us drink less.” Well, perhaps. What we know has happened is that we’ve reincarnated Great-Grandmother’s meatloaf recipe, gained a few pounds and learned how to Zoom. But while folks may be drinking less out, we are drinking way more at home. Meatloaf or homebrew, we’ve shut out a whole sector of friends and neighbors from the fun. While local eateries are desperately working to hang on, spending well into the red to support long-time and struggling workers, we have become expert mixologists (at the very least, we have been working to teach the dog to open the fridge and bring us a beer). Happily, not everyone has overlooked the problem. Local cigar purveyor Corey Johnston, local radio host Tony Katz and local distiller Nolan Smith have combined their considerable talents to produce a remarkably smooth and complex spirit aimed not only at easing our own strains but working to lift a bit of the burden borne disproportionately by those who used to concoct and deliver the elixirs to us. Recovery Rye delivers $5 of its whiskey-of-the-people price to those who need it most. The Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association will see to it. Do we imagine a day when we will routinely gather, in public, to celebrate the big game or the end of a hard day? Yes. In the meantime, Recovery Rye makes it easy for us to “tip” the servers who so desperately want to survive. Visit recoveryrye.com to find out how to purchase. Aren’t we still thirsty?

All I had to do was ask Commentary by Danielle Wilson Yes! I’ve done it, friends. I’ve manipulated my way into a second godmother appointment. Here’s the skinny: HUMOR I have 28 nieces and nephews, and thus far, only my twin in California has bequeathed me with the most coveted of all aunt/uncle honors of shepherding her child through this crazy world (by shepherding, I mean Amazoning a birthday gift every September). It’s not really my fault that I’ve only been chosen once; many of my relatives aren’t Catholic or don’t “do” godparents. Also, I’m merely one among many potential worthy adults, with my husband, Doo, having five siblings and me having four. Throw in nine outstanding spouses, and the competition is truly fierce. And up until this year, I’d believed my hopes of a repeat title to be nonexistent, unless someone decided to go the adoption route (we’re simply getting too old!), But miracle of miracles, one new baby has al-
ready arrived, and another is due in November. Here’s where I focused my attention and formulated a sure-proof plan to sway my youngest sister: A subversive, yet obvious, “Pick me! Pick me!” I volunteered to drive two hours to her house and paint the nursery! It had been on her to-do list for awhile but managing a 6- and 4-year-old during a pandemic and our dad’s recent passing had gotten in the way. I showed up at her door, cranked that puppy out in three hours, and then casually brought up the decision during dinner. It was almost too easy. Maybe not quite as easy as Amazoning a Harry Potter Lego set to L.A., but … I’m a godmother again! Peace out.

Thank You All!
Running in place Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I run 5 miles a day, but those who have observed me in action question the use of the word “run” and even the HUMOR word “action.” The baby steps I take — as opposed to a long athletic stride — have resulted in some significant mocking. I now wonder whether my plan to win the Mini Marathon should be removed from my bucket list. Last winter, I joined a nearby gym. My friend Bob took a video of me on the running track and showed it to his wife, Cathy, who commented on how tiny my steps were. She also said I looked like I was tiptoeing through the tulips. Hence my new nickname: Tiny Tim. My wife is now also on my case. Every time I announce that I am going for a little run around the block, she corrects me. “Dick, you are not running. No one would consider what you do running.” “OK, OK, I’m jogging.” “Even that’s a stretch, Dick, although I hate to put the word ‘stretch’ in any conversation about how your legs move when you circle the block.” My friends Paul and Karen next door always pull up next to me in their car and ask how many steps I’ve completed so far that day. I appreciate the question, but I don’t like it when Paul puts “steps” in air quotes.
Then there’s Eric and Yok. When I see them first thing in the morning, I tell them that I plan to run around the block three times (about 2 miles). “I hope you are bringing a box lunch,” Eric says. Ha, ha. Very funny. Meg and Rahul, who live on our cul de sac, have an adorable baby, about 11 months old. When they see me jogging, they steer the stroller so that I am no longer in their son’s view. He will be walking soon, and they want to avoid any poor role models. I was tired of all the kidding, so I Googled the difference between running, jogging and fast walking. One site noted that jogging is often the slowest of the three, ranging from 3.5 mph to 5 mph. Mary Ellen didn’t find the information helpful for defining my gait. She suggested that I should Google “running in place.” A final note: A housefly (the kind you miss with your swatter nine times out of 10) flies at exactly the same speed I walk. I know this because it was part of a TED Talk I listened to while jogging from my front door to my mailbox. Ten minutes well spent.
When they see me jogging, they steer the stroller so that I am no longer in their son’s view. He will be walking soon, and they want to avoid any poor role models.

DISPATCHES Streaming TV stocks — It’s hard enough for consumers to sort through the sudden profusion of streaming TV services, ranging from newcomers Disney+ and Apple TV+ to industry veterans Netflix and Hulu. Media analyst Brett Harris says stock investors and prospective customers should keep an eye on as the combatants spend tens of billions of dollars to gear up with an array of programming to hook subscribers up, with companies such as: The Walt Disney Co. (DIS). As consumers drift away from cable- and satellite-TV services, Disney aims to rival streaming king Netflix. Stock snapshot: After a 33 percent run-up in 2019, it is moderately overvalued. Subscriber target: 90 million worldwide for Disney+, 50 million for Hulu, up from 28.5 million, 12 million for ESPN+, up from 3.5 million. Apple (AAPL) launched Apple TV+, an entirely new service, in November as another way to immerse consumers in the Apple universe and make them more likely to buy other Apple products and services. Stock snapshot: Moderately overvalued after an 87 percent jump in 2019. Subscriber target: 25 million to 30 million. Source: BottomLineInc.com

Commissioners allow state of emergency to expire By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com
Welcome, Neha Yakhmi, MD Riverview Health Physicians Allergy & Immunology is pleased to welcome Neha Yakhmi, MD to the team. Dr. Yakhmi strives to provide timely, quality care to her patients. She truly believes in the adage, “knowledge is power,” and that education and discussion are just as important as testing and treatment. Dr. Yakhmi listens carefully when her patients tell her their background and why they have decided to come see her, as it is exceptionally vital in a specialty where a patient’s history is the key to a diagnosis. What do you do for fun? I enjoy spending time with my family, reading a good book or traveling. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Yakhmi, call 317.214.5725 or visit riverview.org.
The Boone County Commissioners voted to let the county’s state of emergency resolution expire at their PANDEMIC Sept. 21 meeting, though all safety mitigation and sanitation efforts will continue at county buildings, offices and other public spaces. The Boone County Health Dept. is reporting fewer COVID-19 cases, and Witham Hospital Services’ hospital census numbers remain low. Tom Ryan, the BCHD’s emergency preparedness coordinator, said the county had identified at least two locations that could serve as flu clinics and potential sites where residents could receive COVID-19 immunizations, if or when a vaccine is developed and made available to the public. One of the sites, Witham Hospital’s ambulance bay, will offer a drive-thru flu clinic from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 3. Ryan said the flu clinic would allow the county to coordinate procedures before using it to distribute COVID-19 vaccines. The other potential site is the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds. Ryan said identifying two sites would prepare the county to be able to disburse immunizations by late October or early November, the earliest estimated date the Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention expects a vaccine could be ready. Vaccines would first be given to health care workers and populations disproportionately affected by the disease before being distributed widely to the public. Claire Haughton, the BCHD’s public health educator, said Sept. 18 that data appears to show the county did not see a surge in COVID-19 patients during the Labor Day weekend, when health experts feared a surge similar to the one that followed the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Two weeks, the latest week of completed data, the BCHD reported 38 additional COVID-19 cases. It reported 43 new cases the prior week and 56 cases four weeks ago. In total, the county has recorded 51 COVID-19 deaths, a figure that has not changed in nearly two months. During the meeting, the commissioners said they would consider renewing the resolution to allow Boone County Commissioners Board President Donnie Lawson to make executive decisions, such as allowing COVID-19-related expenditures without the need for a public meeting, if needed. The county’s unified command team will continue to meet event though the state of emergency has expired. “This was for us as a county to move quickly if we needed to move quickly,” Ryan said.
DISPATCHES Riverview Health welcomes new specialty physician — Riverview Health is pleased to welcome Dr. Neha Yakhmi to Riverview Health Physicians Allergy & Immunology in Westfield. Yakhmi enjoys the specialty of allergy and immunology because it allows her to have great continuity of care with her patients by treating them from early childhood through adulthood. She believes a physician and a patient are a team and all medical decisions should be made together, in discussion, for the best outcome. Originally from Indianapolis, Yakhmi earned her medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine. She is fellowship-trained in allergy and immunology, and board-certified in internal medicine and pediatrics. To schedule an appointment, call 317-214-5725. Indiana near bottom for vaccination rates — Some states are better than others
when it comes to vaccinating. In order to see where people are most responsible about getting vaccines, WalletHub examined the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 18 key categories and found that Indiana ranked 47th on the list. The data set ranges from share of vaccinated children to share of people without health insurance to presence of reported measles outbreaks. Sources: WalletHub.com Gluten in skin care — Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity need to pay attention to the ingredient lists on their skin care products. If any of the ingredients contain gluten, the skin can absorb it and cause a reaction. Some ingredients to avoid include avena sativa (oats), barley, wheat, samino peptide, triticum, xanthan gum and dextrins. Source: BottomLineHealth.com

An Indiana fall: Spend a day or a weekend in Brown County Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com With the first day of fall being Sept. 22, we are all certain to see leaves starting to change to yellows and VACATION reds and experience brisker mornings and cooler evenings. For families that are looking for a fall break trip or just a weekend getaway but are worried about social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, look no further than Brown County. I recently had the opportunity to visit Hard Truth Hills Tours and Tasting Center and Big Woods’ The Original Restaurant. Hard Truth Hills offers an ATV tour through its hundreds of acres of property at $45 a person. The tour includes plenty of drinks (Hard Truth Hills staff are eager to say “you drink, we drive”) and a rolling, often bumpy and always exhilarating ride through the woods that stops at Shiner’s Creek, a moonshiner’s camp; Prohibition Point, a speakeasy in the woods; and Beer Bluff, a beautiful swing set-up where patrons can swing with a view overlooking one of Brown County’s beautiful forests. There are drinks at each stop, and it was an incredibly fun experience. ATV tours can be booked through October, and they fill up quickly, so jump on it. Back at the tasting center, I suggest you take the $15, 25-minute tour of the distillery that includes a three-part tasting of Hard Truth Distilling Co.’s spirits and a Hard Truth Mason jar keepsake. Head distiller Bryan Smith did an excellent job educating me on the processes of making different spirits, and it was an incredibly educational tour. I also had the chance to visit the distillery’s warehouse, where it ages rye and bourbon. Stepping into the warehouse was an incredible experience, where the smell of swollen, saturated white oak barrels filled the space, and barrels were stacked to the ceiling along both sides. I sampled a young rye whiskey straight from the barrel. Although the tasting part of that tour may not be available to the public, I can

assure you when that rye properly ages, it’ll be terrific. For dinner, I visited The Original — which is a branch of the Big Woods Restaurant Group but features classy comfort food not on the menu at Big Woods restaurants. At The Original, I sampled deviled eggs with fresh herb-infused filling, smoked paprika, thick-cut bacon and pickled tomatoes ($8); the pimento cheese dip, which was quite possibly my favorite item ever with herb naan bread and smoked paprika ($11); flash-fried Brussels sprouts with a honey sriracha glaze ($9); half of a honey-brined fried chicken with cayenne honey and bread-and-butter pickles ($14); the whiskey burger, which was stacked with a white cheddar-stuffed patty with a whiskey glaze, caramelized onions, garlic aioli and arugula ($15); the Molly’s Garden, which is a wild mushroom strudel with warm Green
Goddess dressing and a root vegetable hash ($13); the peach bourbon crown sugar cobbler ($9); and fried biscuits with a Hard Truth toasted coconut rum butter sauce drizzle and apple butter ($7). Hard Truth Hills and Big Woods Restaurant Group is an excellent day trip for a couple looking for a romantic and adventurous date or a group of friends looking to have some fun. I only suggest you take a nice, long walk around Nashville’s picturesque downtown shops before driving home after eating all that food. For more or to book a tour, visit hardtruthhills.com/tours.

Livery
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 13255 Levinson Lane, Noblesville What to get: Corn empanadas Price: $9 Anna’s take: Livery is a Latin American-inspired restaurant that recently opened its second location in Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville. I tried several items during a soft-opening preview, and I was thoroughly impressed with everything. My favorite item was the corn empanadas, little fried pillows stuffed with truffle, cheddar and corn with a side of jalapeno crema for dipping. I’m still thinking about those empanadas. They were that good. Three empanadas come per order. Another item to try is the picada, a Mexican version of a charcuterie board. At $17, the picada is a great sharable dish that features a spread of pork belly, Serrano ham,

beef short rib, Manchego cheese, whipped goat cheese, quinoa crackers and crostini. It was delectable. For dessert, order the tres leches cake. Trust me. Suggested pairings: I always enjoy a margarita when I indulge in Latin American food, so check out the Carriage House ($13). It’s a margarita with Gran Centenario Anejo Tequila, orange brandy, lime and agave. Ask for the sweet and spicy rim. You’re welcome.
Behind bars: Steam Engine Get it at Big Woods, Noblesville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey, .75 oz. ginger simple syrup, .5 oz. triple sec, candied ginger Directions: Add all ingredients to an ice-filled bar shaker and cover and shake for 12 seconds, then double strain into a coupe glass.

Get the dental care you deserve with dental insurance from Physicians Mutual Insurance Company. It can help cover the services you’re most likely to use –
Colorado is home to many historic mining towns. Durango is world famous among those interested in railroading TRAVEL and its history. In 1870, the Denver & Rio Grande (D&RG) Railway began laying a network of narrow-gauge tracks throughout Colorado, the 3-foot distance between the rails (compared to the standard 4-foot-8 1/2) facilitating sharp turns in the mountains. In 1873, miners discovered gold along the Animas River in southwest Colorado, just north of the border with New Mexico. To support the mining activities, D&RG established a depot along the river at the foot of the San Juan Mountains. A town quickly grew up around the depot, which was organized in 1880 and named Durango after a city in Mexico. In late 1881, D&RG began laying track between Durango and Silverton, a silver and gold mining town, completing the 45 miles through the mountains in only nine months. In 1981, with mining activities in the area largely discontinued, D&RG sold the stretch from Durango to Silverton, which became known as the Durango & Silverton Narrow

Current provides excellent value and reach with both its print and digital offerings. I feel confident Current’s weekly newspaper helps O’Malia’s Living draw customers from across the six northern markets it covers. The targeted email campaigns increase visitors to my website, giving me the opportunity to gain new customers. These results are why I have Current’s print and digital solutions in my advertising plans for 2020.
