Indiana COVID cases surge to record highs By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Despite a surge in COVID-19 cases, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb dispelled rumors of a state PANDEMIC shutdown or any notion of forcing schools to close during a Nov. 4 virtual press briefing. Holcomb said the number of COVID-19 cases, hosHolcomb pitalizations and deaths are rising in nearly all Indiana counties. But he said he won’t order a shut down or roll back the state’s reopening plan. Cases have hit record highs, with the state reporting the most cases in a seven-day span during the week leading up to the briefing. The state reported a single-day record of 4,457 cases on Nov. 4. Testing across the state also is at record levels. Holcomb said the state is not in the same situation that it was in the spring. He said the state still has the capacity to care for patients who contract the disease. He also said surrounding states, such as Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky, have implemented indoor gathering restrictions but have reported similar surges. He said allowing businesses to open with restrictions and mitigation requirements has allowed the state to cut unemployment since the first surge of COVID-19 cases in the spring. The number of Indiana residents hospitalized with COVID-19 also has reached record highs, according to health officials. As of Nov. 3, 1,897 residents were hospitalized. Daily admissions reached record highs with 204 and 201 patients admitted on Oct. 22 and 29, respectively. State health officials said 701 residents died of COVID-19 in October. The state’s seven-day positivity rate, which was 3.9 percent on Sept. 16, has steadily increased in recent weeks. On Nov. 4, the state registered an 8.7 percent seven-day positivity rate. State health officials have said they want to see the positivity rate stay below 5 percent. “Perhaps the greatest strain right now is on our hospital workforce, which is in the ninth month now of responding to this pandemic and facing the greatest patient load yet,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said. “They are, frankly, exhausted. They are quarantined or in a family quarantine. They are juggling home issues, just like the rest of us, like hybrid schooling.
And some have even lost co-workers and family members to this disease. This all takes an incredible toll.” Box said the state health department conducts regular meetings with hospital systems to assess their needs and discuss surge planning. “We’re talking about increasing hospital admissions, the availability of ICU beds and ventilators and their staffing concerns,” Box Box said. “What we hear consistently is that their biggest challenge is having enough staffing. Some hospitals have already needed to rearrange elective surgical procedures to accommodate their staffing needs. We are receiving three to five requests a day for staffing assistance to our health care workforce reserve for hospitals. “Unlike last spring, when the requests came primarily from long-term care facilities, we are now seeing hospitals make these requests.” According to the state’s coronavirus online dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov, most counties have seen an increase in cases and positivity rate. Hamilton and Boone counties register as a 2 on the dashboard’s ranking system, which rates counties on a sliding scale of 0 to 3 to determine the level of the virus’ spread. Zero represents the least amount of spread and 3 is the highest. “(We) are out working with local communities to make sure we’re not just talking about the importance of this, but also helping educate and helping locals with ways to enforce (mitigation efforts) that will help bring those positive cases down,” Holcomb said. “Obviously, we’re not alone in this. Only a handful of states aren’t experiencing this positivity caseload increasing and, obviously, this is hitting the heart of the
heartland, the Midwest. “This just means we have to continue to make sure that we are protecting lives, first and foremost, and, in doing so, we maintain our ability to maintain our surge capacity.” Vaccine update Indiana State Dept. of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lindsay Weaver said the state is still operating under the assumption initial shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine could arrive in Indiana as soon as the middle of this month. The vaccine, however, would not be for the public initially and would still need approval from the FDA. Weaver said the federal government has asked every state to identify one to five sites to serve as pilots for initial distribution. The facilities must be able to store the vaccines at prescribed low temperatures and serve as distribution sites for health care workers and other groups earmarked for initial immunizations. Weaver said vaccinations would not be administered without recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a public/private team in Indiana. The state has assembled the team, which includes infectious disease doctors, pharmacists and pediatricians, among other health experts, to review all research related to the vaccine and ensure safety. “We don’t know for certain when we’ll receive our first vaccine or when we’ll have enough vaccine to immunize every Hoosier who wants the COVID vaccine,” Box said. “We’ll also have a rigorous review process in place, where the state will look at the vaccine before it’s deployed for use. We don’t know how effective these different vaccines will be. “But what we do 100 percent know, based on multiple lines of evidence and support, is that social distancing, wearing your mask and careful hand hygiene decreases the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.”
“Perhaps the greatest strain right now is on our hospital workforce, which is in the ninth month now of responding to this pandemic and facing the greatest patient load yet.

Mayor seeks department head firing By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com During the Zionsville Town Council’s Nov. 2 meeting, Mayor Emily Styron requested a full council vote in response to her request to fire a town TOWN NEWS department head. “The situation has continued to worsen, and the impact it is having on our employees is my most significant concern,” said Styron, without providing further detail. Styron, a Democrat, did not name the department head. She said the town’s human resources director, Jo Kiel, gathered evidence “from a variety of sources” that is ready to be presented to the council. Other town officials won’t release the name of the department head, calling it a personnel matter. Town reorganization documents dating to 2014 require a deciding vote from the town council, currently composed of seven Republicans, to fire a department head in response to the mayor’s request. “Unfortunately, the (reorganization) does not offer any specific guidance or procedure for calling a special meeting of the town council to hear the mayor’s reasons and accompanying supportive information that would support taking action on this type of personnel matter,” Styron said. Zionsville Town Council Vice President Bryan Traylor
said substantiated evidence supporting claims against the department head should be presented to the council before it schedules a vote or opens further public discussion on the matter. “In the past, the mayor has asked that this item be placed into the agenda, and we refused to do so until we were given the evidence that she has to support her request,” Traylor said. “We’d like the reason for that. My stance is, I’m not interested in publicly putting anybody on trial without first seeing that there’s some evidence to support such an item being put on the agenda. I just don’t want those in the public thinking we’ve ignored the request. The request is on record. We appreciate that, and as soon as we have reason to believe there is substantiated claims, we’ll put that item on the agenda.” Zionsville Town Council President Josh Garrett said he is working with the council’s attorney, Heather Willey, to determine the proper process to follow based on the request. “We want to ensure fairness to any process for both sides,” Garrett said. “Once that is understood, we’ll figure out the timing.” In other news, council members said an anonymous town resident donated $15,000 so that the Zionsville Police Dept. can purchase a new K-9. Earlier this year, ZPD K-9 Jelka, after nearly four years of service with the department, was euthanized after developing an untreatable form of cancer.

Early voting in Boone County increases in 2020 By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County residents turned out in record numbers for early voting during the 2020 general election cycle. ELECTION Of the 53,841 Boone County residents registered to vote, 39,030 (72.49 percent) cast their ballot by the end of Nov. 3. Of the ballots cast, 7,069 were sent via paper absentee (7,338 were issued as of Nov. 2), and 25,690 were walk-in absentee, meaning 32,759 early votes were cast during the election and more than 60 percent of Boone County registered voters participated in early voting. Total absentee votes in the 2020 general election surpassed the 22,005 cast in 2016, and the total votes cast in 2020 were more than the 33,067 cast in 2016, according to the Boone County Clerk’s Office. Boone County Clerk Jessica Fouts said many residents took advantage of early voting this year, but she did not attribute the large early voting turnout to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We have been doing vote centers since 2014 and pushing that for the past six years,” Fouts said. “I think they are finally just catching on and realizing how bene-

ficial it is to have the 30 days before the election to vote. I don’t think it’s related to the pandemic.” Fouts and her team counted and submited all Boone County votes by 10 p.m. Nov. 3, in part due to hiring twice as many counters. She had expected to have a significant number of early votes counted when polls closed. “Everything has went smoothly,” Fouts said. “Most locations have not had longer than a 15- or 20-minute wait at the courthouse. People walked in and walked out. Everybody has been positive and happy with the way it’s working. I think it’s been fantastic.”

Zionsville resident writes book on celebrated scientist By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As an Indiana University professor of radiology, Dr. Richard Gunderman has long been fascinated with the story of Marie Curie. AUTHOR Curie, a native of Poland who emigrated to France, discovered radioactivity, added two new elements to the periodic table and won Nobel Prizes in two natural sciences (physics and chemistry), a feat unequaled in the annals of Gunderman science. Gunderman wanted younger students to know more about her history, so he wrote a biography, “Marie Curie: The Pioneer, the Nobel Laureate, the Discoverer of Radioactivity,” which was published Sept. 1 by Welbeck Publishing in London. “Marie Curie is one of the most remarkable scientists in history, and as a professor at IU, I am regularly surprised by how little undergraduate, graduate and medical students know about her,” said Gunderman, who has lived in Zionsville since 1997. “We see so far because we are perched on the shoulders of giants like her. I am hoping the book will inform and inspire scientists of all ages, but especially draw younger people into scientific careers. “It could play an especially important role in encouraging girls to consider STEM fields.” Gunderman said Curie “dramatically expanded our understanding of the universe, especially by her discovery and characterization of radioactivity. She discovered properties of matter that no one had dreamed existed.” Gunderman knew Curie faced tremendous heartache during her life, losing her mother and sister in childhood. Her husband, Pierre Curie, whom she shared the Nobel Prize with in physics, was killed in a road accident by a horse-drawn vehicle in 1906. Curie died at age 66 in 1934 of aplastic anemia, a direct result of her experiments

with radium. “But working on this book provided a much deeper glimpse into the depth of her despair,” Gunderman said. “In some ways, she bounced back, but in others, she bore a deep sadness for the rest of her life.” Gunderman said the book took approximately one year to write. A huge benefit was having the resources of IU’s great library, Gunderman said. “I found out that she cared far more about being left alone to carry out her research than being a world-famous scientist,” he said. “Pierre was the same way. They had an intense curiosity and need to work, and they resented things that got in the way of their research.” The book can be purchased at Black Dog Books in Zionsville and is available on Amazon.com. “I teach mainly in Indianapolis in the medical school, the school of philanthropy, and the school of liberal arts, but I also teach two undergraduate courses each year on the Bloomington campus in the Honors College,” said Gunderman, who has been on the IU faculty for 23 years.

Leaf collection — This fall, Zionsville’s Street & Stormwater Dept. will be providing curbside leaf collection for residents in the Zionsville Urban Service District. The Department asks residents rake their leaves into long narrow piles along the curb. This makes it easier and quicker to vacuum the leaves. The department cannot reach leaves more than a few feet from the edge of the street. The leaf vacuums can only accept leaves. Do not place sticks, pinecones, gravel or other non-leaf objects in piles. Any damage to the leaf vacuums can delay collection. Residents are advised to park their cars off the street if possible. The large truck and trail leaf vacuum are difficult to maneuver, according to town officials. Leaf collection runs through Dec. 4. This could be extended to mid-December if necessary and weather permits. There is no set schedule or particular day for leaf collection as the volume of leaves placed for collection cannot be controlled or predicted, and, therefore, the service varies each week. During heavy times the service may extend to bi-weekly. Dr. Seuss collection — For over 60 years, Dr. Seuss’s illustrations have brought a visual realization to his imaginary worlds. His artistic talent went far beyond the printed page and yet, to this day, his Secret Art Collection is virtually unknown to the general public. Throughout his lifetime, Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) created paintings and sculpture, which he secreted away at the Dr. Seuss Estate. CV Art and Frame, Your Fine Art Gallery will share a selection of artworks from The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection at 110 S. Main St., Nov. 6–21. Visitors may explore and acquire works from Dr. Seuss’s best-known children’s books, as well as The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, a collection based on decades of artwork, which Dr. Seuss created at night for his own personal pleasure. Other elements of the collection include Dr. Seuss’s three dimensional “Unorthodox Taxidermy” sculptures, which have names such as “Carbonic Walrus,” “Two-Horned Drouberhannis,” and “Goo-Goo-Eyed Tasmanian Wolghast.” Zionsville home sales — Smaller sale price increases led to a fast-moving residential real estate market in Zionsville in September 2020. According to F.C. Tucker Company, the average sale price for a home in Zionsville was $498,869, an increase of 2.3 percent compared to September 2019.

With nearly all of the ELECTION votes counted, Spartz, a state senator from Noblesville, maintainted her narrow lead over Democratic challenger Christina Hale. “I could not be prouder to call myself an American, and be selected by my fellow Americans, to represent them in Washington,” Spartz stated in an email to supporters. “There is too much division in our country, and I pledge to bring people together to solve problems and get results while keeping the promises I have made to you.” Hale conceded the race at approximately 9 p.m. Nov. 4. “For more than a year, we spoke about protecting and expanding every Hoosiers’ right to affordable health care and promoting bipartisanship and civility in our politics,” she stated. “This was a historically close race, and our message clearly resonated with voters. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to talk about the issues that matter most to our community and lift up the voices of so many people in our district.” The Spartz campaign announced to their
U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks introduces State Sen. Victoria Spartz at an event for Spartz supporters Nov. 3 at Hotel Carmichael. Brooks, who is retiring from the 5th District seat at the end of the year, declared victory for Spartz at the Election Day event, although thousands of ballots were yet to be counted in the close race.
supporters late on Election Day that Spartz would be declared the winner, but with thousands of votes still to be counted, many others — including Hale — considered the race too close to call. U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, who introduced Spartz at the Nov. 3 event at Hotel Carmichael, is retiring from Congress at the end of the year. The Republican from Carmel has represented the 5th District since 2012. The race was the closest in the history of the 5th District with its current boundaries, which has traditionally been a stronghold for Republicans.

ZGravy Chase adds virtual option for 2020 By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com During the fourth annual ZGravy Chase, participants will be given the choice to participate on Main PANDEMIC Street or virtually in their neighborhood. Proceeds from the event, a race or walk of various lengths, will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County, which serves an estimated 450 residents daily. Event coordinators want to raise $145,000 for the club. The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County is projecting a 40 percent operations budget shortfall in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club offers before- and after-school programming with transportation to and from community schools. In addition, it provides daily school programming and community members can participate in sports leagues, summer camps and events. It also provided free meals to families during the early months of the pandemic. Main Street runners and walkers will start at 8 a.m. with rolling start times to ensure social distancing.

Rob Schien, the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County board president, stated Main Street walkers and runners and the event’s planning team are working with town officials and the Boone County Health Dept. to ensure all mitigation efforts are in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual runners and walkers will participate where they live on Thanksgiving Day. Virtual racers are encouraged to
welcome other virtual racers. Virtual participants can log their times after the virtual walk or run at racejoy.net. Snack and water stations will be set up along neighborhood routes. Neighborhood ambassador volunteers have been chosen to organize family, friends and neighbors to join routes as small groups. Neighborhood ambassadors will assist in promoting the race route in their neighborhood or community and receive a complimentary race registration.

When the virtual option was announced, she decided to get involved to coordinate her neighborhood. “I love the Boys & Girl Club and everything they do,” Kuller said. “I know that they need additional support this year because of the year we’ve had.” Kuller said several of her neighbors have already signed up to participate in the race that starts on Main Street. “As we get closer, I’m hoping more people will decide to do the neighborhood one as well because I think we can make it really fun and have some special events within our neighborhood,” Kuller said. “People will realize, ‘Oh, it’s right outside my door. I can just walk right outside on Thanksgiving morning and take a 3-mile walk with my family.’” Registration for the event is open. To register, visit zgravychase.com. The cost to participate on Main Street is $40 per person or $130 for a family of four and is limited to 1,000 participants. The cost to participate virtually is $30 per person.

ZPD adds license plate readers By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Police Dept. plans to install 10 license plate readers made by Flock Safety throughout town, RECOGNITION particularly at town gateway’s where the technology will assist the department with identifying suspects as they leave and enter town. The license plate readers will be mounted to observe a driver’s license plate number and state, National Crime Information Center return, sex-offender status, customized “hot list,” vehicle type, color, direction of travel. The devices will provide data access to ZPD officers from surrounding agencies. ZPD patrol officers will have immediate access to data from the license plate readers via an alert on their mobile computer, which will provide real-time enforcement data. Investigators will have the ability to research data that has been received from the readers and those from surrounding
agencies, which ZPD Det. Elizabeth Frost said, when combined, would allow the department to access an abundance of data. The data will be stored for 30 days then automatically purged unless manually saved into a local case file, Frost said. “We began the search of numerous different companies in platforms in the beginning of 2020 and settled on Flock, as they were the best option for the Town of Zionsville and the police department,” Frost said. The license plate readers will be strategically placed throughout the town at various gateways, which will allow the department to track suspects as the leave and enter town. Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood said license plate readers are an investigative tool. “There’s only a few ways to get in and out of Zionsville, and it will aid us,” Eastwood said. “So if we know there’s a bank robbery, we can get all the cars. And if we know they went down 96th Street and if we know a time frame, we can get all the license plate numbers and then go from there.”

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: Andy Byers is a law-enforcement professional who was involved in an accident while riding his motorcycle. He was struck by a car and a semi-tractor trailer during the incident, sustaining multiple severe injuries. He turned to Methodist Sports Medicine orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Ritter, who reconstructed a portion of Andy’s right shoulder. FROM THE PATIENT: “I was riding my motorcycle on I-465 near I-69 when a The aftermath of the accident. passenger car entered my lane, striking my left leg and pushing me and my bike into the back of a semi-tractor trailer,” Byers said. “Upon impact with the truck, I was launched in the air and landed about 60 feet away, landing on the pavement, in a different lane of travel. I was transported to a trauma facility in downtown Indianapolis. Some of my injuries included a broken back, broken neck, shattered pelvis, fractured left hip, compound fracture of the left femur, compound fracture of the left tibia and fibula above the ankle, multiple broken ribs, and my right shoulder was damaged with my right collarbone disconnected. I also had internal injuries and internal bleeding.” “After several months of rehabilitation and learning to walk again, I met with Dr. Mark Ritter at Methodist Sports Medicine at the end of October 2019 for an examination and to find out what he could do to repair my right shoulder. After evaluation, he determined that he could repair my shoulder. Still, he said we should wait for my left leg’s recovery because I needed to walk without the cane in my right hand. I had follow-up appointments prior to surgery, which was scheduled for late May this year.” “Dr. Ritter and his team did a great job preparing me for surgery and recovery. The shoulder repair was the final surgery to repair the damage done in the crash. Dr. Ritter and his team were very positive and very helpful in explaining the procedure and the recovery process. My recovery has gone great, and I am doing very well.”
FROM THE SURGEON: Dr. Mark Ritter is fellowship trained in orthopedic sports medicine and trauma. He specializes in arthroscopic shoulder and knee reconstruction including cartilage restoration, rotator cuff repairs, complex knee reconstruction, fractures and trauma. “Mr. Byers had an unfortunate accident and sustained a lot of trauma, including an injury to his dominant shoulder. With immense perseverance, a great attitude, and dedication to rehabilitation, he’s getting back to normal life with the goal of becoming an active law enforcement officer again soon.” - Dr. Mark Ritter

No Shave November — This month, the Zionsville Police Dept. is participating in No Shave November to raise money for the Boone County Cancer Society. The goal of No Shave November is to raise awareness by growing one’s hair, which many cancer patients lose. Those participating in No Shave November can donate money typically spent on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives and aid those fighting the battle, the ZPD stated. This year, participating department male officers are asked to donate a minimum of $50 and female officers are asked to donate a minimum of $25 in exchange for wearing a pink shirt under their patrol uniform while on duty. The ZPD also is challenging the community and Zionsville employees to donate to the cause. If the community can match the amount donated by ZPD officers, the officers will be allowed to extend their beards to the end of the year. To donate, visit boonecountycancersociety.org/donate. At the end of this month, the ZPD will present a check to the Boone County Cancer Society Blood needed — Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is issued an emergency appeal for blood donations as communities throughout the state face a potential crisis. Ideally, Versiti strives for a three-day supply of blood for its partner hospitals. Schools and businesses are typically Versiti’s largest source of blood donations this time of year. Because of remote work and virtual schooling, many of those drives have been canceled. Compared to an average year, donations have been cut by more than 50 percent – nearly 20,000 units of blood. Blood donors are needed now, Versiti officials say, to help ensure life-saving blood is available for Hoosiers who need it. O-negative and O-positive blood donors are most needed now. O-negative and O-positive blood can be transfused to all patients, including trauma victims, cancer patients and those undergoing surgery. Scholarships available -- Midwest Academy has scholarship opportunities available for children in third through fifth grade. The population MWA serves generally includes students diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, high-functioning autism, receptive and/ or expansive language or processing challenges resulting in school anxiety. A major change like remote learning can be extremely challenging for a student who has come to feel safe in their school environment.

Weir joins Current as partner, VP news@currentnoblesville.com Ben Weir of Carmel has joined Current Publishing as a partner, vice president of sales and general NEW STAFF manager. He joins Current after 20-plus years in the automotive industry, primarily as a manager or general manager overseeing revenue and development at multiple properties. Weir, 42, assumes the general manager role formerly held by Steve Greenberg, Current’s co-founder, executive vice president and co-managing partner with president and publisher Brian Kelly. Greenberg will focus on sales development, up to and including special custom products. “When we found out Ben was available, it became readily apparent to us that were he to join Current we had an opportunity for a slew of different avenues for revenue acquisition,” Greenberg said. “Plus, we’d known him for a number of years, because he was a long-time customer. There was zero doubt he would be a great fit. That he had no publishing experience was of no concern and actually weighed in his favor. Once you sit and talk with Ben, you realize immediately that his capacity for quickly connecting the dots is impressive.” Formerly a long-time advertising client of Current, Weir said, “I was always intrigued by the hyper-local news report and the following that it had in our community. When I initially was given the opportunity to be a partner, I jumped all over it.” Kelly said Weir’s management acumen and his track record of growth helped make bringing him on board an easy decision. “Ben is thoughtful, but he acts quickly. There is no moss growing under his feet,” Kelly said. “His entry into Current has been impressive, from the way he is analyzing and modifying our sales systems to embracing our independent research, and also from his immediate interaction with all members of our team to tirelessly acquiring and serving advertising customers. It’s good to have him as part of the Current family.” Weir is a graduate of Indiana University. He has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in business. He also serves on the board of directors for the Make A Wish Foundation. So, what might he have expected upon joining Current? “For one, the fashionable and incorrect statement that ‘print is dead.’ I’ve heard it from many friends and colleagues, and

I even said it myself once upon a time,” Weir said. “Now, I’m in it as an owner, and nothing could be further from the truth. I saw that immediately. The reality is that if it’s done correctly, print is the only format left that is based on facts and objectivity. I believe in community news done the right way. I believe that people still care about what is going on in their neighborhoods and with new construction, among other local topics, and police officers that are still doing good things. “I believe that parents want to read about important news from their children’s school system.” Weir said he’s not a media “guru,” a proclamation Kelly and Greenberg found magnetic. “He didn’t have to un-learn any bad industry habits when he joined the team here. That was a significant plus for us,” Greenberg said. Weir said at the outset, “I admittedly didn’t know much about the business beyond sales. However, I do know that what is going on around me is important. I care about construction affecting my property value or opportunities for myself and my family to do charitable work. I enjoy seeing a local kid excel in sports or music. Those things all matter to me. “Local businesses also matter to me, and they should to everyone, too. I try to support them at every opportunity. Current gives a local business owner a real shot to reach someone in the community, someone that actually is in need of the business’ service.” To reach Weir, email him at ben@youarecurrent.com or call 317-489-4444, ext. 105.

The Zionsville Fire Dept.’s Area Familiarization with Santa is returning. Santa will ride atop a fire enPANDEMIC gine and visit Zionsville neighborhoods. Nightly routes will start Dec. 11 and continue through Christmas Eve, according to a press release. All routes will start at 6:30 p.m. and end no later than 9 p.m. As Santa approaches a neighborhood, residents will see emergency lights and hear holiday music. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Santa won’t stop and greet people at usual gathering spots. The department encourages responsible social distancing and all other mitigation practices for the duration of this year’s Area Familiarization with Santa training routes. Santa won’t be able to make it down every street, but the department will attempt to cover as many as time permits. However, emergency runs are the department’s first priority, and nightly routes and times are subject to change as a result. In the event
of a cancellation, the department will make an attempt to cover those neighborhoods on another date. Per tradition, in the coming weeks, the ZFD will post the list of neighborhoods Santa will be visiting nightly. Each evening, a link to the ZFD Santa Tracker will be placed on the department’s Facebook page, allowing families to follow all of Santa’s movements as he approaches their neighborhood. Town officials stated residents should turn on their porch lights and keep watch out of their windows to make sure they don’t miss their chance to see Santa. “Zionsville Fire Department’s Area Familiarization with Santa is a unique Drivers’ Training Program as well as a cherished Zionsville tradition,” ZPD Public Educator Vincent Randolph stated. “Zionsville Fire Department uses this opportunity to provide quality hands-on training to our engineers in diverse weather conditions. It’s our goal, by cautiously continuing this year’s festive driver training tradition, that we can help to bring a little cheer this holiday season.”

Boone County reports another record week of COVID cases By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. reported a record-setting week for COVID-19 cases for the week ending Oct. 30, PANDEMIC and officials say the county is on pace for another record-setting week. The BCHD reported 128 additional COVID-19 cases for the week ending Oct. 30. The week prior, it reported 100 new cases, which was a record at the time. BCHD Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said 118 cases were already reported as of Nov. 4, setting up another record for the week ending Nov. 6. Moreover, another death was reported at Signature Healthcare at Parkwood, a longterm care facility in Lebanon, raising the total number of COVID-19 deaths in Boone County to 57. As of press time Nov. 6, the Indiana State Dept. of Health increased Boone County’s ranking on its county-level coronavirus
dashboard to 2 on a scale of 1 to 3, with 3 representing the most spread. The ISDH reported the county had 226 cases per 100,000 residents and a positivity rate of 6.95 percent. “The state recommends that if a state enters the orange category (a 2 rating), that’s when they should start looking at doing a hybrid (school) schedule,” Haughton said. But Haughton said the decision whether to move schools to virtual learning is up to the school districts. She said the health department would offer advice and is in constant contact with all Boone County school districts but would not mandate hybrid learning. As of press time, Zionsville Community High School had reported 26 student cases and less than five teacher cases. Zionsville’s two middle schools have reported a combined 19 student cases and no teacher cases. All Zionsville Community Schools elementary schools have reported fewer than five student cases and fewer than five teacher cases.

Recognizing how life has changed Commentary by Lorene Burkhart Families eating dinner together with homemade brownies for dessert. New kitchen appliances and cooking PLAIN TALK gadgets. Fixing up the backyard with fun things to do and adding a storage shed. What is happening to the carefree, gadabout family who survived on takeout meals standing at the kitchen counter while everyone concentrates on their electronic device? Unfortunately, it isn’t all good news. Yes, the housing market is booming, and the home supply stores are thriving, but at a cost that could never have been imagined one year ago. A recent report by “Broadsheet” of Fortune Magazine stated that 865,000 women left the workforce in September compared to 216,000 men. The National Women’s Law Center reports this is because of the breakdown of our nation’s caregiving infrastructure caused by COVID-19. The burden of child care and home schooling has fallen
disproportionately on women. Some two-parent families have been able to share child care and home schooling if one or more is working remotely from a home office. If it’s a single-parent family and the woman is the provider who has no options for child care, it becomes a dire situation. We see evidence of this at the food banks that are stretched to keep up with the demand. As we all struggle to make sense of our new, limited routines, we speculate about when and if things will ever go back to the way they were before the pandemic. I think we’re beginning to recognize that life has changed, and we need to think about what we’ve gained instead of what we’ve lost and where we fit into the change.

Commentary by Jim Serger It’s a time to recognize those who have given so much to our country. Veterans Day, Nov. 11, is a time to VETERAN’S DAY respect those who have served our country with valor, honor and dignity. It’s a time to honor those who took the call to defend our country at their free will or through the government calling them to arms. Moreover, it’s a time to thank our neighbors, co-workers and in-laws who sacrificed so much so that we can live in the land of the free. To all the veterans out there, with the highest of thank you, we salute all of you — the Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Army. According to the Army Study Guide, a proper salute goes as follows: Raise the right hand sharply, fingers and thumb extended and joined — palm facing down and the tip of the right forefinger on the rim of the visor, slightly to the right of the eye. According to modern military manuals, the Western salute originated in France when knights greeted each other to show friendly intentions by raising their visors to show their faces, using a salute. According to vocabulary.com, a salute is a sign of respect. A soldier may salute senior officers by raising a hand to his or her head,
or you may informally salute a neighbor with a tip of your hat. With all the respect, a huge high-five, as well as a big hug to all who have served the finest country in the world, this salute is for you; this special day is yours and you deserve it. Walk tall and proud, for you deserve that free meal; you deserve that free oil change; you deserve those free red, white and blue pancakes; you deserve that free tall-brewed coffee; you deserve that phone call of thanks; you deserve that hug. So, on this Veterans Day, our country will celebrate these magnificent men and women from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Gulf War, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and all other conflicts in which these veterans have fought. Our nation cannot thank you enough. You are true heroes; you don’t need a cape or a big “S” on your chest to prove you are one. Your true heroism is on display 365 days a year, through the way you carry yourself with pride and professionalism. The American flag waves freely because of you. Thank you.

ZPD’s first female police officer was inspired by her father By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Police Dept. Police Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth Frost, 39, is the first female police officer in the department’s history. She first joined in 2003 as a reserve officer and was hired full time in 2004. She is one of four women on the ZPD force. Although she hopes other women will follow her career path, Frost’s inspiration to become a police officer came from a man — her father, Brad Thomas. Frost “My father, he’s retired now, but for 25 years he was a police officer for the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation,” Frost said. “He’s the reason why I do what I do.” Frost, a Native American, was born and raised on Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, N.D., the home of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. For the most part, the land is flat. The reservation is more of a hill than a mountain and has few trees, Frost said. “It’s a whole different culture,” said Frost, who serves as ZPD’s public information officer. “Living on the reservation, there are not a lot of job opportunities. The reservation is 6 miles by 12 miles, so it’s not very large. The town Belcourt is within the reservation. There are not a lot of businesses, so there’s not a lot of job opportunities there. The area is extremely low income.” From an early age, Frost knew she would likely need to look elsewhere to pursue an occupation because of the reservation’s limited job prospects. But watching her father made her career choice easier. “My dad was a police officer for pretty much my entire childhood,” Frost said. “He didn’t retire until after I was an adult, so I grew up watching him get dressed in uniform every day, going out and working. Just seeing that, and seeing what he did for our community there really inspired me since as long as I can remember. It inspired me to want to become a police officer when I got older.” Frost said even her childhood friends knew she wanted to be a police officer many years before she ever wore a uniform. “(My dad) was a great police officer, and now that I’m in law enforcement and he’s not, he’s still a mentor to me,” Frost said. “I can call him and talk to him about things, and he understands.” Thomas, who grew up 15 miles south of the reservation,

joined the U.S. Army in 1973 and was stationed in Europe for two years. When he returned home, he became a truancy officer at the local high school and was asked to apply to the Bureau of Indiana Affairs after stopping a driver who was under the influence. He resisted promotions that would equate to desk jobs and began to notice that his daughter took an interest in being in the field, too. “I told (her), ‘That is the last thing you want to do,’” Thomas said, adding that the long hours and unpredictable schedules are not appealing. But Thomas said he knew Frost was determined to pursue her ambition. “She’s Native American, and I should have known way back then that she wasn’t going to listen to a word I said,” Thomas said. “Native American women around here, if their mind is made up, they’re going to do it, and that’s exactly what she did.” Frost lived on the reservation until she was 12. She and her mother moved to Boone County shortly after her parents divorced. She has lived in the county ever since. In addition to being the first female officer on the ZPD force, Frost served 5 years on the Hamilton/Boone County Task Force and was the only woman assigned to the unit. She said she was one of fewer than a handful of female rifle instructors in the state of Indiana. She also spent time doing detective work, and she believes she excelled in undercover work due to her unassuming appearance. Her responsibilities include community outreach and serving as public information officer. Frost, who has two daughters and is married to Dwight, said it’s important for the community to know there are women in the police department who understand and have lived through the difficulties women confront on a regular basis. “It takes time for people to get used to a woman police officer, in general,” Frost said. “You see them a lot more than you did a long time ago, so people are used to it now. But I’ve had different experiences where people don’t know

how to take you, or they don’t think you’re a police officer because you’re a woman. “I feel like I’m paving ways for women in this career, and I hope I’m a good role model for any of the ladies that work at our department and any women that would be interested in getting into a career like this.”
GOING BACK TO THE RESERVATION ZPD Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth Frost and her family try to travel to the Turtle Mountain Reservation in Belcourt, N.D., to visit her father, Brad Thomas, and his side of the family at least once a year to see family members and introduce her children to the culture she was raised in. “We’ll attend different powwows and things like that because, obviously, my children have lived in Indiana their whole lives, so they’ve never been to powwows or anything like that,” Frost said. “I like to expose them to the different culture for them to experience.” Frost said she wants to instill some of the same values in her children that were instilled in her as a child. “I have never forgotten what my dad told me when I told him I was going to be a police officer,” she said. “He told me when I first started, ‘Treat people the way you want to be treated.’ And I’ve always carried that with me throughout my entire career. When you’re a younger police officer, you don’t think about that statement as much now that I’ve got a few years under my belt and that I’ve seen a few more things. I really appreciate him saying that to me.”

Serious play
No guarantee hospitals will be profitable in time to repay loans
Commentary by Terry Anker As fads come and go, human beings remain largely the same. As shifts occur in how we elect to order our societies, human beings remain largely the same. As cultures adapt to new technologies and new political powers, human beings remain largely the same. As much as we might like to imagine ourselves enlightened, progressing and generally newand-improved, human beings remain largely the same. Certainly, we have moved out of mud huts. We have learned to read, to catapult ourselves into space and how to tame all manner of wild beast. But still, we require human interaction. Still, we laugh, cry, envy, judge, hope our tribe — however we define it — comes out on top and talk more than we listen. Sure, some days are better than others. And some humans are better than others. Well, maybe it is better to say that some humans are better than others sometimes and in some circumstances. To be clear, we, one and all, are flawed and glorious. We build only to destroy. We destroy only to rebuild. We allow our insecurities, angers and needs to occupy our minds and justify our actions. We preen and provoke others even as we reassure ourselves in our righteousness. This is all not to say that we humans are bad. In fact, we are remarkable in our curiosity and hopefulness. We overcome, grow and continue to learn. Isn’t the real challenge to self-assess once in a while? We can use a good friend, the “Good Book,” or a simple online quiz. Are we our better selves? Are our indulgences going too far? Are we making good use of these few precious years on this planet? Laugh or cry? Run or rest? Even if the game’s the same for a thousand years, shouldn’t we play it like it matters?

One big (happy!) family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s official! I now have 30 — 30 — nieces and nephews! In a year that has been mostly full of downs, I got a rare HUMOR “up” last week when my new godson arrived, complete with a cap of gorgeous red hair (either I was destined to be his fairy godmother or he’s my dad reincarnated!). I’m now past the point where I remember everyone’s birthday and middle name, but I love the fact that I am part of a huge family. Sure, it’s often crazy and frustrating and overwhelming (don’t get me started on holidays), but it’s also exciting and reassuring and sometimes exactly what you need. I have four siblings, and my husband, Doo, has five. We all have children, and though we’re scattered across the U.S., most of us are here in the Midwest. Astonishingly, we get along. It’s true! I count my in-laws as some of my best friends and my kids say the same thing about many of their cousins. Even my 22-year-old man-child will happily
spend an afternoon with his preschool “cuz” building Lego’s or playing hide-and-go-seek. It’s absolutely adorable. I can’t tell you how much joy I have found in laughing with my sisters, even as our father lost his battle with cancer, or how a weekend with Doo’s clan provided a much-needed distraction from the realities of COVID-19. Surrounding myself with those who know how to make me smile, who don’t care if I look terrible (whenever I shun eyeliner), and who only in extreme circumstances violate my “no hug” rule, is what gets me through hard times. And those people are now officially “one louder!” Peace out.

Editor, I am a master’s in public health candidate with a concentration of health policy. This commentary is in reference to the article, “Don’t cut Medicare Funding,” written by Dr. McGoff and published Oct. 6. It is very insightful, and I wanted to speak to a greater context of the problem. I agree with the original author that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service’s decision to decrease Medicare reimbursement rates will lead to future trouble in health care. Hospitals and outpatient clinics faced stark financial setbacks for the first two quarters of the year and are still fighting to break even in the last two fiscal quarters of 2020. While hospitals are finally seeing an increase in admissions (a rebound close to normal), cutting reimbursement rates will exacerbate a fragile situation. When loan repayments are coupled with lower reimbursement rates, this could cause many Hoosiers to face higher out-of-pocket costs. Lauren Kahre, Carmel For the full letter, visit youarecurrent.com.

Pitch perfect World Series recollections Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A few weeks ago, when the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 of the World Series, HUMOR 94-year-old Carl Erskine sat on his couch in Anderson and savored the moment. It had been 32 years since the Dodgers were last victorious in the October Classic, but 65 years since the Hoosier-born pitcher sat in the dugout at Yankee Stadium and watched fellow teammate Johnny Podres defeat the Yankees in Game 7. It was the first time the Dodgers had won the series — ever. Da Bums, as they were called when the team was in Brooklyn, had faced the Yankees in what seemed like a hundred previous World Series games (four, actually) and lost every time. I called Carl after last week’s game. He was a childhood hero of mine and now a friend. In addition to Carl, only Roger Craig and Sandy Koufax are still around from that iconic Dodgers team, which included Jackie Robinson. “The survivors are all pitchers,” observed Carl, who added, “but we must include Vince Scully.” Now 92, Scully was the Dodgers’ announcer for 67 years and was, according to Carl, “a true poet,” an observation about Scully’s unmatched ability to paint a picture of what was happening on the field, both on TV and radio. Scully once had the temerity to remain silent for 38 seconds while the crowd savored and cheered the end of a
Sandy Koufax perfect game. Things have changed in baseball. As fans, we may be a little overwhelmed by some of the statistics managers are supplied with (what’s this guy’s batting average on a 3-2 count with men on base with two out in the 7th inning against a left-handed pitcher? Yeah, computers can do stuff like that). Carl remembers that the Dodgers had one of the first statisticians back in the ’50s, a guy who kept track of every pitch and at-bat with a variety of symbols he jotted down in his notebook. With no computer to feed the fig— Carl Erskine ures into, the data wasn’t quite so detailed. “Of course, a lot of this was intuitive, info we simply absorbed from playing and watching the game,” Carl said. Carl likes to drop names, especially the name of one guy who seldom dropped anything: New York Giants center fielder Willie Mays. Willie once told Carl that he knew every pitch Carl was about to throw because the Giants had a telescope in the center-field stands picking up the signs from the catcher, then transmitting them to batters by waving a small white flag. Here’s a sign I picked up: Carl Erskine still enjoys the game and he also relishes every moment with Betty, his wife of 73 years. Now, there’s a record that’s hard to beat!

What are hammertoes and how can I fix them? Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan

If you’ve noticed a bend in your toes that won’t go away, you may have hammertoes. This painful condition develops FEET because of imbalances in your muscles, tendons or ligaments. When working properly, your toe stays straight, but when your foot structure, shoe choices, injuries or even illnesses throw your toes off balance, you may notice a crook that remains in place, even when your toes relax. When we talk about hammertoes, it means you have an abnormal bend in your toe’s middle joint. If the bend appears in the joint near your toenail, we call that a mallet toe. This condition can occur with any toe but is less common in the big toe. Treating hammertoes Surgery is one way to relieve the pain of hammertoes. However, at our office we offer surgery-free pain relief for hammertoes with an in-office procedure known as the flexor tenotomy. This is one of our favorite procedures because the results are immediate. You don’t receive stitches. The site of
the procedure is dressed with a few BandAids and you are able to continue on with your day. Best of all, because we don’t send you to the operating room, you don’t have to worry about serious complications and you’ll save thousands of dollars. Pain relief for hammertoes The flexor tenotomy is done using local anesthesia and involves piercing the skin on the bottom of the toe, beneath the deformed joint and releasing the tendon that’s keeping the toe contracted. Your results will be dramatic. The toe that once only touched the ground at its tip will now lay flatter, and all that pressure will hit your toe’s fleshy fat pad instead of its bony tip. After the procedure, your toe will still look bent when at rest but will flatten when you stand and you will experience serious pain relief without surgery.

DISPATCHES Riverview Health recognized for infant care — Riverview Health was recently recognized by the Indiana Hospital Association, in partnership with Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and State Health Commissioner Kris Box, MD, FACOG, for its commitment to infant and maternal health at the first annual INspire Hospital of Distinction recognition program. INspire, funded by the Indiana Dept. of Health’s Safety PIN grant, was developed to implement the delivery of best practice care for Hoosier moms and babies and recognize hospitals for excellence in addressing key drivers of infant and maternal health. Riverview Health earned a Category of Excellence recognition based on implementing best practices in five key areas, including infant safe sleep, breastfeeding, tobacco prevention and cessation, perinatal substance use, and obstetric hemorrhage. Box noted that among many successes, Indiana has seen a nearly 30 percent drop in Indiana’s black infant mortality rate in just two years. Indiana Hospital Association serves as the professional trade association for more than 170 acute care, critical access, behavioral health, and other specialized hospitals in Indiana.
Banned artificial flavors you’re still consuming — The good news is, the FDA has banned six artificial flavors that have been linked to cancer. The bad news is, you’re still eating them, and you might be for a long time. As is common with such bans, food manufacturers have two years to remove the banned chemicals from their products. And because manufacturers are still permitted to label all chemicals used to simulate natural flavors as, generically, “artificial flavors,” there’s no way to know which products contain these particular offenders: benzophenone, ethyl acrylate, methyl eugenol, myrcene, pulegone and pyridine. The ban came in response to a 2016 citizen petition from consumer and environmental groups, including the Center for Food Safety, the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Natural Resources Defense Council, after the six chemicals were linked to cancer in laboratory animals by the National Toxicology Program.

Miller brings Brick Street Bridal store to Zionsville By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville resident Natalie Miller, 24, moved back to town after graduating from Savannah College of DEVELOPMENT Art Design in Georgia with a goal in mind: She wanted to open her own bridal store. Her goal became a reality when her business, Brick Street Bridal, celebrated its Oct. 3 grand opening at 40 N. Main St. “I grew up in Zionsville,” Miller said. “I’ve always loved Zionsville itself, and that’s how I ended up coming back to open the store here. I just love the atmosphere and everything about the little town.” Growing up, Miller was interested in the wedding industry and especially wedding gowns, which led her to study design during college. Before opening Brick Street Bridal, she worked at multiple wedding businesses, mostly in men’s attire. “I’ve always helped out with different weddings and getting ready, and I’ve always loved being able to be involved in the bride’s life and her everyday of getting ready and prepared for the wedding,” she said. “Going forward, I wanted to open a store where brides could comfortably come in and be able to shop having a perfect atmosphere where they don’t have any feelings of being rushed to pick a gown or being pressured.” Miller’s store allows brides and their
groups to sift through several gown options without distraction. She schedules bridal parties by appointment and closes the store to walk-in traffic during appointments. “I just like the aspect that a wedding gown is something that is one main focus center that people focus on in the wedding,” Miller said, “and I’ve always wanted to amplify that and amplify the brides own personal beauty by finding her something that will complement her body shape and looks.” Miller didn’t know she would open during a pandemic, but she said she is thankful the business has been largely unaffected because many couples are still choosing to have weddings. Brick Street Bridal offers gowns from Lihi Hod Couture, made to measure, and Justin Alexander’s private label ring collection, Omelie Bridal and Temperley London Bridal and Brydealo. Miller said she wants to design her own gowns sometime soon. The store plans to have a trunk show Dec. 3-13 featuring Lihi Hod Couture gowns from the Israeli designer’s 2020 collection. Miller, during appointments, will take roughly 20 different measurements and pictures of the bride in the gown she chooses to ensure the gown “is fit perfectly to her body.” Miller expects to host another trunk show at the beginning of 2021 to showcase more gowns.

Westfield Playhouse presses reset on ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com De’Jon Marshall-Fisher read the role of Walter Younger in sixth grade. Fast forward to 2020, he gets to play PLAY the iconic role. Marshall-Fisher is the lead in “A Raisin in the Sun,” a 1959 play about a Black family trying to improve its financial future following an insurance payout from the death of Walter’s father. Walter’s mother puts money down on a house in an all-white neighborhood in Chicago. A representative from the neighborhood tries to convince them not to move with a generous offer to buy them out. “I’ve never seen the movie or the play, actually,” Marshall-Fisher said. “I’ve seen bits and pieces just to do a little character work. I do want to see it after this. I’m not trying to be Denzel (Washington), Sidney Poitier or Puff Daddy (Sean Combs). I’m trying to be first De’Jon as Walter.” Westfield Playhouse will present the show from Nov. 12 to Nov. 22 at its new venue at 220 N. Union St. Westfield Playhouse was less than a week away from opening “A Raisin in the Sun” in mid-March when the coronavirus pandemic shut everything down. “It was an incredible sense of loss,” director Nancy Lafferty said. Lafferty quickly accepted when Main Street Productions asked if she would direct the show in November. “This is a play I’ve been waiting to direct for 30 years,” the McCordsville resident said. “The cast and I stayed in touch through the seven months we were off. They all kept saying they were committed. We had to start all over. The good news is, everyone knows everyone and we’re stronger because we’re bonded together.” Marshall-Fisher said everyone was sad when the show shut down. “Then we got the call we were coming back to do the show in November. We all lost our minds. I know I did,” he said. “With everything going on in the world in

true. Everything that went on in the 1950s is still kind of going on now.” Marshall-Fisher, a professional ax thrower, is happy to be doing the show in the new Westfield Playhouse facility, which opened in August. Andrea Hardy, an Indianapolis resident, plays Ruth Younger. Hardy was reluctant at first to return to the play. “The main thing that pushed me was my cast members,” Hardy said. “I was going through my personal situation and I didn’t really feel motivated to come back to it at the time. But just hearing the excitement from cast members, I didn’t want to let them down.” Moreover, she didn’t want Lafferty to have the stress of trying recast the role. “I’m glad that I came back,” she said. “Just seeing everybody and being on stage rehearsing, that has helped me in a positive way, so now I’m back, excited for the show and ready to do it.” Hardy, 31, started acting at Warren Central High School as a sophomore. She said Warren Central staged “A Raisin in the Sun” shortly after she graduated. When not acting, she serves as a stage manager on shows and a production assistant on film sets.

Dan Howell enjoyed teaching art for 40 years. Now retired, he finally has more time for his own artwork. ART “Being a father and teacher took most of the time until I retired, and now I get to practice what I preach,” Howell said. Howell’s work is on display through Dec. 30 on the second-floor lobby of the Meyer Najem building in Howell Fishers. The display, which opened Sept. 30, is coordinated through Nickel Plate Arts. “The display is all ceramic work, mostly wall plates of fired stoneware, but also some functional bowls and vases,” Howell said. “Other works that I have been doing recently are of carved limestone and alabaster. Others have been of welded rebar, but none of the stone or metal sculptures are a part of the show at Meyer Najem. There are 55 pieces, I think.” The pieces are available for purchase.

Sully’s Grill SPONSORED BY
Address: 6955 N. Keystone Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Smoked chicken and Manchego sandwich Price: $12 Anna’s take: I’ve always been a huge fan of hardware stores since I was a child. When I was growing up, my dad built custom homes, and shopping at hardware stores with him for tools and trinkets is one of my fondest memories. So, when a reader wrote to inform me about Sully’s Grill — a restaurant inside Sullivan’s Hardware Store — I was highly intrigued. Sully’s Grill has a limited but delectable menu. I started with warm pretzel nuggets ($7), which come with a trio of sauces: cheddar cheese, chipotle romesco and honey Dijon. I’m a total sauce girl, and I love dipping appetizers, so this was one of my favorites. I also tried the autumn squash
salad — a colorful display of delicata squash half rings, assorted squashes, Brussels sprouts, brown rice, pumpkin seeds, cream fraiche and blood orange vinaigrette. The last item I tried was the smoked chicken and Manchego sandwich with arugula, bacon, tomato sauce, chicken, Manchego cheese and a date spread on a baguette. The bread was soft and delicious and didn’t scratch the roof of my mouth (you know how bread can be sometimes). It was cut into triangle portions instead of squares, and we all know from our childhood days that triangle sandwiches are always better than the square kind. Sully’s Grill is the perfect spot to stop after shopping for gifts, décor or hardware needs at Sullivan’s. The menu changes seasonally.

Crete since 1212, restored the deteriorating Arkadi Monastery and built a two-nave Renaissance church on its grounds. After the Ottoman Empire conquered Crete in 1669, much of the population converted to Islam. However, the majority-Christian population chafed under Muslim rule. In May 1866, about 1,500 Christians formed a revolutionary war counsel and appointed Gabriel Marinakis, the Abbot of the Arkadi Monastery, among its leaders.

As Marinakis had ordered them to do, the women and children ran to the gunpowder storeroom, where they blew themselves up to avoid being captured. A bullet killed Marinakis on the last day of fighting. The attackers cut off his head and paraded it around Crete. The heroism at the Arkadi Monastery became an international rallying cry for an independent Crete, which became independent in 1898 and part of Greece in 1913. Today, the Arkadi Monastery is among the most-visited sites on Crete. A museum on the grounds includes information and artifacts from the “Arkadi Holocaust.” The skulls of more than 60 victims of the suicidal explosion are displayed on shelves.

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.
