Health officials issue guidance for holiday gatherings as COVID-19 surges By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said during a Nov. 18 virtual press PANDEMIC briefing that “staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others this holiday season.” Indiana health officials Box during the briefing offered guidance for the holiday season in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across the state. Box said the Indiana State Dept. of Health advocates guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which grouped an array of activities into low-, moderate- and high-risk categories ahead of Thanksgiving. Low-risk activities, according to the CDC, include small dinners with only people who live in the same household, hosting virtual dinners and shopping online instead of in person. Moderate-risk activities include hosting a small outdoor dinner with family and friends. High-risk activities include shopping in crowded malls, consuming alcohol or other substances that could impair judgment and attending large, indoor gatherings with people who don’t live in the same household. “These are things you can do to save lives, and those lives might just be your own family members’ lives,” Box said. “Holiday celebrations need to look different this year. The CDC has issued holiday guidance that stresses that even with friends and family, people need to be cautious during the holidays so that they don’t add to the trend of increasing cases.” Additional guidance for the holidays from the ISDH can be viewed at coronavirus. in.gov. “Thanksgiving is a time when families traditionally plan to join larger groups or to celebrate together, but travel increases the chance of getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19, especially when you look at the high levels of transmission that many states are experiencing,” Box said. Box also noted that anyone planning to travel to Chicago, which requires a 14-day quarantine, or some surrounding states
may need to consider what travel restrictions are in place before leaving Indiana. “There will be more than 5,000 empty seats at Indiana Thanksgiving tables this year because of COVID-19,” Box said. “Let’s all make those hard choices to prevent that number from growing so Hoosier families are able to celebrate for years to come.” As community spread has increased across the state and Midwest, Indiana Holcomb Gov. Eric Holcomb said he is particularly concerned with the state’s hospital capacity, which has been strained since early October. As of press time, more than 3,000 Indiana residents were hospitalized with COVID-19, a record thus far. In the spring, no more than 1,800 Hoosiers were hospitalized at any one time. “As we see community spread occur and arise, that leads to cases rising. That leads to hospital admissions rising, and, with that, beds are filled,” Holcomb said during the briefing. “And that has an effect on a myriad of things, such as elective procedures being postponed or canceled or cancer patients or heart patients having to reschedule appointments, schools across the state having to go virtual.” COVID-19 cases have reached record highs in Indiana since the beginning of October. The county’s color-coded coronavirus map, viewable at coronavirus.in.gov., shows 21 counties are classified red, one is yellow and the remaining are orange (the map classifies counties with the lowest level of spread as blue, and the rest are ranked yellow, orange or red). As of press time, Boone and Hamilton counties were orange. Box said that if the map only used the number of cases per 100,000 residents to determine a county’s color, every county would be red (the map also uses a county’s positivity rate to determine color). On Nov. 11, Holcomb announced new gath-
ering restrictions for orange and red counties. Box said she expects all state COVID-19 metrics to trend in concerning directions in the coming weeks, meaning more counties will likely be red. “We do not expect this to turn around quickly,” Box said. “In the next several weeks, we will continue to see cases climb, individuals hospitalized and, unfortunately, more deaths. That is why the plea now (is) to do those basic, simple things that may seem small and very irritating to you but could make a tremendous difference in the lives of other individuals and the health of individuals and the support our hospital systems are able to provide.” Dr. Eric Fish, CEO of Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, who spoke during the briefing, said his hospital system is battling the patient surge with substantial staffing shortages and that some staff have been so overwhelmed that they have left the profession. He said personal protective equipment and testing shortages have delayed other medical procedures. He called on the community to follow advice from health experts and to not view mitigation efforts as a political issue. Sarah Paturalski, a registered nurse and vice president of Nursing and Clinical Services at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, also spoke during the briefing. She said her staff is seeing deaths at an unprecedented level, averaging at least one per day in the health system. “Death and dying has always been part of health care,” Paturalski said. “We’ve dealt with that the entire time we’ve signed up for these careers. But death in the numbers we are seeing with COVID is not what we are used to. We are seeing death at a much higher rate than we’ve ever experienced before, and it is affecting every single layer of our organization. The emotional toll that this pandemic has created for everyone who works in health care will have a very long-lasting effect.”

County renews state of emergency, establishes vaccination plans By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Commissioners have renewed its state of emergency resolution, a move that expedites decision-making amid a rise in COVID-19 PANDEMIC cases. The county has been earmarked as a COVID-19 vaccine distribution site for nearby counties. The county commissioners first enacted a state of emergency resolution March 17 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution was allowed to expire June 22, and the commissioners reestablished the resolution again July 20 before allowing it to expire a second time Sept. 21. Boone County Health Dept. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Tom Ryan said commissioners and health department officials have two goals in renewing the resolution: to emphasize the seriousness of the pandemic and to show that the county has actionable plans. “We are in a very serious situation at this point in time, and the transmission rate is increasing,” commissioner Jeff Wolfe said during the commissioners’ Nov. 16 meeting. “As we go into this, there are a lot of key issues we’re working on. The health department has partnered with Witham (Health Services) on trying to get a testing clinic set up, and we are partnering with Witham on future vaccination sites, and I think this is a time when we are entering this emergency order with actions in place.”
When the commissioners first declared a state of emergency in the spring, Ryan said they established the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds as a spillover site in case soaring COVID-19 cases overwhelmed Witham Health Services, the county’s primary hospital. As of press time, the site has not been used for that purpose. Now, he said Witham has partnered with the BCHD to secure the location to provide easier access to testing and access for COVID-19 vaccinations when they become available. “Once that shifts from testing to vaccinations for the hospital (happens), it’s almost turnkey,” Ryan said. “There are a few things we’d have to set up, but nothing too crazy.” As of press time, Witham officials said the hospital did not have immediate plans to open COVID-19 testing to the public. To be tested at Witham, residents must have a doctor’s note. The only testing site in Boone County open to the general public is the CVS in Zionsville at 1466 West Oak St. The Indiana State Dept. of Health also has public testing sites in surrounding counties, including Hamilton and Marion. To schedule a test through one of the state-sponsored sites, visit coronavirus.in.gov.
“We are evaluating it on a daily basis,” said Dr. Ray Ingham, president and CEO of Witham. “We’re afraid that if we open it up 100 percent, we will make two errors. The first error is that we won’t be able to accommodate all of those that want it, and the second error is that there won’t be anyone there to close the loop.” When a vaccine receives authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, Ryan said shipments to hospitals and other sites could begin within 24 hours. Vaccines developed by Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company, and Moderna, a biotechnology company, are expected to be the first to be approved. Both companies have stated they will ask for authorization for their vaccines as soon as this month. In addition, when a COVID-19 vaccine is available, Witham will help immunize health care workers in Montgomery and Clinton counties, Ryan said. “From Indianapolis, it will be shipped to the four corners of the state and central Indiana,” Ryan said. “From those initial delivery hubs, it will go out to the hospitals that have signed on to receive the vaccine. Witham is one of those hospitals.”

ZCS referendum projects on track for 2023 completion news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville Community Schools officials said during the district’s November board meeting that an $89 CONSTRUCTION million construction referendum, which passed in November 2019, is on schedule to be completed in 2023. Projects include building a new elementary school, adding classrooms to the high school and facilitating long-term maintenance, repairs and renovations at each of the district’s eight school buildings. ZCS officials anticipate growth and larger cohorts of students in the future, which they say necessitate additional and updated classrooms, a focus of many of the referendum’s construction projects. According to an enrollment report, the ideal classroom sizes in ZCS schools are 18 students in kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, 20 students in third-grade classroom and 25 students in fourththrough 12th-grade classrooms. The district has grown from 7,228 students to 7,341 students, an increase of 113 students from last year. ZCS’s Indiana Business Resource Center demographic study projected just over 200 new students for the 2020-21 school year. Skillman Corp. Vice President Victor Landfair, who delivered updates on the referendum’s projects at the meeting, said almost three years of construction were planned. “Back in 2015, we identified needs over the next 15 years for the school corporation,” Landfair said. “There was a portion of those that were incorporated in the referendum.” Landfair said an estimated 50 percent of
the referendum’s projects have been contracted and/or permitted. Preliminary cost estimates for planned projects, according to the school district, include $32 million for a new elementary school, $35 million for the renovation of Zionsville Community High School, $25 million for facility study recommendations and $1.5 million for updates to Boone Meadow Elementary School and the Transportation Center. ZCS officials say all projects are scheduled to be completed by 2023. Work completed to date includes new flooring in parts of ZCHS, and a classroom wing has been added at Boone Meadow Elementary. Restrooms have been updated at Eagle Elementary, Union Elementary has new sidewalks and outdoor classrooms have been added at Zionsville Middle School and Zionsville West Middle School, in addition to other improvements. The construction of the new elementary school is under way. The scheduled dates for renovation of the Transportation Center and ZCHS are: • December 31, 2020 Complete design • February 16, 2021 Receive bids • March 8, 2020 Requested board approval on bids • March 22, 2021 Start construction • August 2021 Complete Transportation Center renovations • July 2022 Complete ZCHS additions • August 2023 Complete ZCHS renovations

Christmas with a Cop – The Boone County Indiana Fraternal Order of Police Richard G. Brown Memorial Lodge No. 110 announced the 23rd Annual Christmas with a Cop program is now under way. In 2019, over $50,000 was raised to provide more than 420 needy children, ages 12 and younger, with winter coats, shoes, boots and clothing. Boone County FOP Lodge No. 110 President Sgt. Craig Fouts stated this year’s fundraising goal is $50,000. The fundraising effort for the program is done locally without the help of commercial groups. All money raised goes directly to Boone County children, and encourages positive interaction between the children and law enforcement. “The program also brings with it the camaraderie of various police agencies in Boone County,” Fouts stated. Christmas with a Cop applications are now available. The completed applications should be returned to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Lebanon Police Dept., Whitestown Metropolitan Police Dept., and/or the Zionsville Police Dept. Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The completed applications must be returned no later than 4 p.m. Nov. 25. Donations can be made to: Boone County FOP Christmas with a Cop PO Box 432 Lebanon, IN 46052. 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 your 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. Every attempt is made to make a complete round through every neighborhood each week, according to town officials, but during heavy times the service may extend to biweekly.

Zionsville stocks Eagle Creek with rainbow trout news@currentzionsville.com
As part of an effort to promote recreation at Eagle Creek, Zionsville has stocked the stream with approximately FISHING 1,200 roughly 12-inch-long, farm-raised rainbow trout, marking the third year the town has placed rainbow trout in the creek. The initiative is in coordination with local resident Todd Settle, who introduced the concept to town officials and who has contributed to the budget. The town obtained a permit from the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources and submitted a statement of health and condition from the source of the fish. By stocking the creek in the fall, fishing is possible year-round. Town officials believe fishing and other recreational activities in Eagle Creek are an economic benefit by attracting visitors to Zionsville. “Any initiative like this that connects people to our waterways serves as a fun reminder of the importance of our natural
resources,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated. “Eagle Creek flows through the heart of Zionsville, and there is a lot of opportunity for recreational activity within the Creek or relaxation along the trails by the creek. It’s important that we protect and preserve our Creek for residents and visitors.” The trout were released at Turkey Foot Park and Elm Street Green. “Because of the trout stocking, we see anglers from all across Indiana and neighboring states coming to Zionsville,” stated Jessica Snodgrass, marketing manager at Moving Water Outfitters. “We have also experienced an increase in youth getting involved in the sport because they are able to access Eagle Creek so easily. Fly fishing can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels, so having this resource is beneficial to many people — both residents and visitors alike.” Town officials urge anglers to practice catch-and-release fishing until the last Saturday of April so the resource can be enjoyed by all.

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.” Blood needed – Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is issuing 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.

Zionsville rallies around former coach after cancer diagnosis By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com After years of supporting young Zionsville football players and officiating high school games, Mike Naspinski, GOFUNDME 50, has a new game plan to try and defeat a recent cancer diagnosis, and his former players are the ones supporting him. Nine weeks ago, Naspinski, a Zionsville resident, felt pain on the left side of his torso. Initially, he dismissed it as muscle pain, but in late October, when it progressed to his stomach and back, he went to an emergency room. After several tests, he was diagnosed with a rare form of incurable lung cancer. He is taking medication to treat the disease. He received the news alone because his wife, Jennifer, wasn’t allowed in the room because of COVID-19 restrictions. “That was one of the toughest things anybody can ever feel,” Naspinski said. Naspinski has officiated high school football for 21 years and coached Zionsville youth football and baseball teams when

his children — Allyson, Bri and Jake — were involved in the sports. He was on the Zionsville Youth Football League for several years and was president for one year. He said it had been “a treat and a blessing” to
interact and bond with the kids and families in Zionsville. Through his involvement in youth sports, Naspinski got to know many children during their formative years, one of which was Nathan Mutzl, one of Jake’s close friends and one of the Naspinskis’ neighbors. Mutzl is a junior at Purdue University. When he heard about Naspinski’s diagnosis, he and Lucas Brown, a sophmore at Purdue and a friend of the family, created a GoFundMe page to support Naspinski. “We decided they would do the same thing if this scenario came up,” Mutzl said. Soon after, donations and messages of encouragement flooded the page. As of press time, the GoFundMe has raised more than $41,000 from more than 350 donors, most of them either former players Naspinski coached or their parents. Naspinski was unaware of the page until several days after it launched. “My wife started getting texts from people saying, ‘We just heard the news.’ And we thought, ‘How? We haven’t really told anybody yet,” Naspinski said. “And they

said, ‘You’ve got to check this out.’ I was blown away. And some of the notes and letters from some of my former players and players’ parents were very heartfelt, very touching. That’s been very emotional seeing kids I coached eight and 10 years ago reaching out and saying, ‘Hey, coach, you’ve got this.’ That has really touched me greatly. “When we moved to Zionsville 19 years ago, we loved the school system, we liked the small-town atmosphere, and we couldn’t have handpicked a better community to move to. They say it takes a village, and we found our village here.” Naspinski began treatment on Nov. 19. He said the community support has been inspiring as he battles the disease. “We’re just now at the beginning of this journey, but people’s kindness and generosity is hard to imagine and comprehend,” Naspinksi said. “It’s lifted me. Every time I talk to somebody and see the prayers and the support team I have behind me, that lifts me up. I’m a firm believer in the power of prayer, and the more people I have in my corner, the better off I’ll be.”

‘In limbo’
Zionsville businesses will attempt to attempt to attract customers this winter amid the pandemic. (Photos by Jarred Meeks)
How Zionsville businesses foresee the winter months By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville business owners and managers have expressed uncertainty heading into the winter months, but they agree local customers will be the key to staying in business. “I think everybody is a little scared because they don’t know what it’s going to be like,” Brian McCall, owner of Midwest Jewelers and Estate Buyers, said. “It’s an exciting time, but it’s also a make-or-break time for a lot of people. You don’t need extra reasons for people not to come out and lose business to somebody like Amazon, which has an unlimited advertising budget.” McCall said most retail businesses “gear up for this time of year.” He said the personal touch local businesses can offer customers has been hampered by COVID-19-related restrictions but that businesses pivoted in March to establish more creative services, such as curbside pickup and online video tours. McCall said local relationships “are the things that are going to keep us alive.”
Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allyson Gutwien said without support from local shoppers, Zionsville would likely see some businesses close in early 2021. “For a lot of these businesses, these are the bellwether months that allow them to truly get in the black, and with a year like we’ve had, it’s critical for people who are business owners to have them be successful,” Gutwein said. “That also takes the participation of the community to come out and support them. That’s going to be where a lot of people find it to be tricky because they weigh the risk of going out but, at the same time, they want to make sure they are supporting small businesses. “Our businesses, if we want them to be around next year or in future years, we have to be patrons. We’ve heard from many of them, ‘If there’s another closure, it’s going to be really difficult to stay in business.’” Gutwein said even established stores can’t sustain continuous losses like some have during the pandemic, though others have continued to do well despite the obstacles. To entice customers to Zionsville businesses, the chamber has planned a series of Christmas-themed events during the
holiday season. As of press time, the events were still planned to be held as scheduled. The chamber also has created a new webpage, shopzionsvillechamber.com, which allows shoppers to search for local products by specifying their search to Zionsville chamber businesses. Ron Hopwood, who co-owns Hopwood Cellars Winery with his wife, Janet, said the pandemic has made it more difficult for small businesses to compete with large box stores. “People definitely go to the store to buy their food, and while they’re there they’ll pick up some cheap wine there instead of coming and making another stop because people try to limit all their stops,” Hopwood said. In response, Hopwood said he plans to emphasize distributions to largers stores and focus on local advertising. Before the pandemic, the majority of his customers came from outside a 5-mile radius of Zionsville. Now, he said the trend has almost reversed, as most don’t venture too far from home. He also said the pandemic has accelerated plans to incorporate the business’ new William Rose Distillery. He expects to have bourbon, whiskey, gin and vodka available for purchase within 60 days. He hopes the added products will help the winery during what are traditionally the slower months for his business, a time period he calls “being in limbo.”
GREEK’S MANAGER: THE COMMUNITY IS RALLYING Similar to other Zionsville businesses, Eric Pozywio, manager at Greek’s Pizzeria in Zionsville, said his restaurant made changes in response to the pandemic that he hopes will prove successful in the winter. For example, at the start of the pandemic, the restaurant offered curbside pickup for the first time. Soon, curbside orders began to account for most of the orders. Pozywio said delivHailey Durda, left, and Addy Foster dine at Greek’s Pizzeria in eries and curbside pickup Zionsville. have allowed the restaurant to see an increase in business. He attributes the success to regular customers who want to support the business. “I think that people get nervous when you have someone saying you shouldn’t be going to restaurants, that people should not be crowding together,” Pozywio said. “You get a lot of people, especially here in Zionsville, who are, like, ‘I don’t want to go out to eat, I would rather stay here,’ so I think it definitely affects all of the businesses around here.” Pozywio said some regular customers visit the restaurant during its least-busiest hours to avoid large indoor crowds. “I think that they want to keep the small businesses here in the village going,” he said. “They want to keep us in business because they like coming here. I think people have rallied together to keep these places open down here, which has been amazing for us.”

Enduring the Final cut
Indoor dining reckless during surge
Editor, According to the Hamilton County Health Dept., Hamilton County has reached 11,268 cases of COVID-19, but you wouldn’t think so from the sight of Carmel’s restaurant and bar scene. Even though Indiana is (progressing through) its reopening plan, that does not mean that Carmel has to be careless. With the uptick of cases in Hamilton County, Carmel should consider closing bars/restaurants for in-person dining in the winter. According to the Poynter institute, the director of the CDC predicts the fall and winter will be the worst time for the spread of COVID-19. So, opening restaurants/bars to indoor dining would be reckless. For the full letter, visit youarecurrent. com Jordyn Blakey, Carmel
Commentary by Terry Anker Through the beginning of the last century, the Chinese government endorsed the use of lingchi as a method of torture and execution for those unlucky enough to defy the commanded order. Without being too descriptive, the intent was to slowly, as slowly as possible, inflict torment. In the West, the tradition, which dates as early as 900 A.D., is often known as “death by a thousand cuts.” While deliberately gruesome, it served the intended purpose to both punish and prevent resistance. We humans, almost without exception, despise suffering. We run from it. We complain about it. We fantasize about a world where it is completely eradicated by technology or social compact. A loose pebble in our shoe can cause us, over time, to collapse. In rage, we cry out from the hinderance. Sure, most mature adults have come to accept that a bit of inconvenience is inure to a life well-lived. Good dental care, it is reported, has prolonged humanity more than any other single effort. Still, so many of us refuse to endure the trouble of regular visits. We are slighted oh, so often by life and those around us. The tiny cuts occur. But if we react too aggressively to the slights, are we missing some longer-term benefit from simply enduring them? Should we disown our neighbor because of their yard sign, or remember that they spent an hour clearing our drive of snow when we returned from the maternity ward with our first? Sure, there may be a cumulative tipping point. Yet, what is the “final” cut? When can we take no more? With the incumbent aches and pains, are we missing a much larger picture? Are we suffering less than we think, or is it time to fully resist the march to an inevitable demise?

Woe is me; really, really woe Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s official: I am one hot mess. This may not come as a surprise to anyone else experiencing a particularly surly HUMOR 2020, but the revelation gives me pause. I have zero chance of surviving the holidays if I continue with my present M.O. After spending 10 hours at school each day attempting to navigate whatever hybrid, rotating-block cohort, nonsensical schedule is the current COVID-mitigating pedagogical flavor of the month, I come home, collapse on the couch and stuff my mask-marked face with the most easily accessible food. Twice, my dinner has consisted of microwave kettle corn. And once, an entire Meijer pumpkin pie. I won’t apologize. Next is the nightly Netflix binge — “Derry Girls,” “Queen’s Gambit,” “Dash and Lily,” the terrible “Holidate,” it truly makes no difference — followed by the dragging of my sorry self upstairs, where I desperately try to stay awake until the acceptable bedtime hour of 9 p.m. by reading apocalyptic young
adult fiction. I rarely succeed. What’s the point? It’s perpetually dark and cold, anyway, just like my soul. Incoherent grunts constitute the bulk of communication with my housemates — Husband, Daughter, Dog and Cat. Names no longer matter. And god forbid if Husband tries to talk to me. The urge to throat-punch has never been stronger. I love my family but don’t like any of them right now. Even more telling, I’ve been drinking from the same coffee mug for two weeks and dressing without underwear for almost as long because I haven’t yet unloaded the dishwasher or dryer. And horrifying Halloween animatronics still occupy my dining room, silently shaming me when I pass. Yep, I’m one hot mess. And the holidays are nigh. Peace out.

Thanks for making tough time a little better Editor, Thanks so much for giving us some laughs and info during this horrid time. I get relief and smiles from reading the wonderful, satiric column by Danielle Wilson. Then I like to disagree with Terry (Anker). Finally, I have fun trying to figure out the meaning of the Currentoon. All very soothing at this time. Clyde Crockett, Carmel

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Thanksgiving will no doubt be different this year. I know there will be less weight gain at the Wolfsies’ because HUMOR Mary Ellen is requiring that we put on our mask between every bite. That will slow down the time to consume the meal, which, according to my wife, results in less food intake. This is why I try to hide her holiday editions of Prevention magazine. Here’s a look at some of the stupid advice that will be clogging your airways. By the way, avoid eating the candied yams too quickly. That also can clog your airways. Don’t sit down on an empty stomach No, use a chair. But seriously, if you’re afraid you’ll eat too much, experts say eat a little something before you sit down at the table. Like a drumstick and a bowl of mashed potatoes. Then, you’ll only eat half as much for dinner. Eat smaller portions Everyone I have ever known who did this on Thanksgiving or Christmas did it only so they had room for three more pieces of that lemon chiffon cream cheese pie (see above).
Take a walk after dinner It takes the average American half an hour to walk off 50 calories. At that blinding rate, you could erase most of the calories from that holiday meal by simply strolling from Indiana to Puerto Rico. And if you do the swimming part, you will be 1,500 calories ahead. Put your fork down between bites My uncle Sidney managed to eat 50 percent less this way, but he also gulped down a six-pack of Bud Light in between all the bites. One Thanksgiving, he eliminated a fork completely. My wife’s mask technique is more effective. Tighten your belt a notch so you feel full Hoosiers go the other way. Many wear dress sweatpants on Turkey Day to allow for maximum expansion. In Kentucky, some people at Thanksgiving don’t even wear pants. Take what you want, then just eat half This works — as long as you don’t start

Winter Is Coming! Soon, snow will begin to fall along with temperatures. Here are some tips to help you prepare your vehicle for the coming season.

by putting twice as much on your plate to begin with. Also, do not watch TV documentaries that destroy the folklore about Thanksgiving. You’ll be told the Pilgrims likely didn’t eat turkey, so the idea of stuffing would never have dawned on them. They had no cranberry relish and there wasn’t a single string bean casserole on the table, assuming they had tables. And the Indians weren’t invited (they crashed the party). The next day, no stores were open, so no Black Friday. This is a very stressful time in the world but count the blessings you have. That’s why we call it Thanksgiving, which, by the way, the Pilgrims probably didn’t.

DISPATCH Tech stocks for a new era — Tech is not only surviving the coronavirus pandemic, it’s thriving. As the outbreak and the looming recession pummeled many sectors of the stock market this year, cash-rich technology giants ranging from Amazon to Microsoft to Netflix held up well and some younger, smaller tech firms such as the digital-signature software firm DocuSign and Zoom Video Communications raced ahead. As people spent more time at home, companies that helped them make the best use of the internet served as a lifeline for functions, ranging from business transactions, communications and health to shopping and entertainment, such as: Zoom Video Communications (ZM) — The number of daily users of this online videoconferencing service, which went public last year, soared from 10 million last December to 200 million in late March. The stock already jumped 157 percent in 2020 as of
May 15, even as Zoom’s growing popularity made it vulnerable to hackers who hijacked videoconferences and harassed participants, the stock can continue to rise. DocuSign (DOCU) — If you have signed digital documents to refinance your mortgage, update your will or open a brokerage account recently, you probably have used this leading provider of digital-signature software. Thousands of law firms, real estate companies, financial institutions and other companies use it to reduce the time and cost of everyday deal-making, negotiations and approval of contracts. DocuSign, whose stock jumped 70 percent as of May 15, has a long runway for growth because the industry is expected to expand by 35 percent a year and hit $9 billion in global sales by 2024.

Boone County COVID-19 ICU beds near capacity as COVID cases rise By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com As COVID-19 cases soar in Boone County, the availability of ICU beds at Witham Health Services hospital are shrinkPANDEMIC ing dramatically, according to county health officials. Witham Health Services President Ray Ingham said the hospital only has a few available. “What’s happening is we go and get to the point where it’s pretty close to critical,” Ingham said. “We’ll fill one or two of those beds and be at capacity, then we are able to discharge somebody. We are kind of holding our own and praying that it doesn’t get a whole lot worse.” For the week ending Nov. 19, the Boone County Health Dept. reported 302 COVID-19 cases through the first six reporting days. The prior week, the department reported 339 additional cases. Last week, a death unrelated to a longterm care facility was reported, increasing the county’s cumulative death toll since the start of the pandemic to 59, as of Nov. 18. The county’s positivity rate rose to 12.3 percent last week, according to BCHD data. The
county is orange on the Indiana State Health Dept.’s color-coded county coronavirus map, meaning social gatherings are limited to 50 people, unless an exception is granted in advance by the BCHD. Boone County Health Dept. Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said the BCHD continues to see community spread outside of long-term care facilities, which contributed to the majority of cases early in the pandemic. She said COVID-19 has spread to every town and city in the county and that no one municipality has contributed to a majority of cases. Haughton and Ingham said it is critical residents help the hospital and health officials by wearing face masks, practice social distancing and avoiding crowds. Haughton said it would be best if families cancel in-person Thanksgiving plans with people not in their household. “It’s unfortunate that we have to have this conversation to maybe forgo Thanksgiving, but there will be many more Thanksgivings to come, and the more proactive we are this year, the better shape we will be next year,” Haughton said. “Come next year, we may have something of a normal Thanksgiving, if we’re lucky.”
DISPATCHES Plasma demand surges in Indiana hospitals — Hospital demand for convalescent plasma throughout Indiana is now far exceeding donations coming in. Demand is 50 percent in recent days compared to what it was just 30 days ago. Convalescent plasma is used by hospitals across Indiana to help treat a surging number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is appealing to Hoosiers who have recovered from coronavirus to donate their antibody-rich plasma immediately at any one of its donor centers throughout Indiana, in Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Greenwood, Lafayette and Terre Haute. Versiti collects then supplies convalescent plasma, blood and blood products to more than 80 hospitals throughout the state thanks to generous Hoosier donations. Track your water consumption — A clever new water bottle can help you keep track of how much water you’ve had for the day. The Hidrate Spark 2.0 is a water bottle with an internal sensor. Using the free Hidrate app, you can sync the bottle to your smartphone for updates on your water consumption. You can also use the app to set hydration goals. Source: BottomLineInc.com Eat sprouted garlic — If your old garlic has started to sprout, is it safe to eat, or should you throw it away? Actually, garlic that has been sprouted for five days has twice as many antioxidants as unsprouted garlic, and it has greater flavor and pungency than the clove itself. So, it is safe to eat, and also is better for you. Source: Dr. John La Puma, ChefMD Get some sun — Sunlight is necessary for vitamin D production, and low levels are associated with increased risk for death from cardiovascular disease and other causes. A recent study showed that women who avoided the sun entirely were twice as likely to die over a 20-year period as women with the greatest sun exposure. So, enjoy the sun - in moderation.

ATI Drive-In Theatre concert will feature variety of music By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Actors Theatre of Indiana’s DriveIn Theatre concert will have a holiday feel, but it won’t all be CONCERT traditional. “It’s a diverse amount of music,” ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins said. “You’ll have jazz versions of some songs. You have traditional songs. Come on, we’re going to sing ‘White Christmas,’ and that will be traditional. All of Select Sound’s songs are jazz oriented.” Collins said she and co-founders Don Farrell and Judy Fitzgerald will perform different arrangements of songs. “There will be traditional and contemporary holiday music as well,” Collins said. The concert is set for 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 27 at the Monon Square Shopping Center in Carmel. “Having Carmel High School’s Select Sound perform was Judy’s idea,” Collins said. “It is always special to have young performers on the stage. They are exceptional. The group usually gets hired for different events during the holiday season, but because of COVID, they are not doing as many gigs as usual, so we are glad we can give them this opportunity.” Collins said the 14 members of Select Sound will wear face masks and be spread across the stage. Lizzie Farrell, daughter of Farrell and Fitzgerald, is part of Select Sound, an a cappella jazz group. “They usually do gigs during the holiday and I don’t know if they are doing any other jobs. This might be it,” Collins said. In addition, Duane McDevitt and his wife Michele McConnell, who are based in the New York City area, will join the ATI trio as vocalists. “They are our friends and peers and have extensive credits to their names,” Collins said. “Michele played the role of Carlotta in ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ on Broadway. She had the distinct honor of playing the role for six years, being the longest-running Carlota in Broadway

history.” Collins said McDevitt and McConnell will each perform a set in each act. They will join the ATI trio for some songs, too. McConnell, a Mt. Vernon High School graduate who grew up in McCordsville,
went to New York City to perform after graduating from Butler University. Collins said McDevitt has performed in shows with ATI. Since it will be colder, Collins expects attendees will stay in their cars. The concert will be presented through the radio in the cars. There will be a large screen for cars parked farther away. There will be a livestream of the concert for those who choose to watch from home. “Santa Claus will make an appearance and have one reindeer with him from Silly Safari,” Collins said. The Drive-In concert is the third ATI has attempted. The first was Sept. 17. The second was scheduled for Oct. 23 but was canceled due to inclement weather. It was later transformed into a virtual concert. “The livestream was just like performing in a studio, but I was glad we could do it,” Collins said. “We know that it’s going to be chilly. We just hope it doesn’t rain.” For more, visit atistage.org.
CIAF 2021 applications open editorial@youarecurrent.com After being forced to go virtual in September due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual Carmel International Arts Festival will return in 2021.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8935 E. 116th St., Fishers, and 6216 Allisonville Rd., Indianapolis What to get: Triple chocolate ganache cake Price: $23 Anna’s take: Taylor’s Bakery has more than 100 years of experience creating delicious items appealing to your sweet tooth, and I was thoroughly impressed with my visit. I munched on doughnuts (prices vary); cookies decorated with icing to look like turkeys ($3); sweet, chewy caramels ($12.99 for a package of individually wrapped caramels); decadent triple chocolate ganache cake ($23); fluffy spinach onion parmesan quiche ($15); and Taylor’s Bakery’s famous butter flake rolls ($7.75 a dozen). In addition

to the sugar rush, my favorite thing about Taylor’s Bakery are the take-home items to freeze and enjoy later. The quiches are baked then flash frozen. They come with directions on how to finish baking at home for a delicious homemade quiche without all the work. The rolls can be frozen, too. I simply peeled off the wrapper and popped them in the oven at 325 degrees for 10 minutes and, voila, warm, buttery, flaky rolls ready for serving. Taylor’s Bakery co-owner Drew Allen said the bakery’s white cake and cake doughnuts are the top sellers, but I assure you, all the items are wonderful, beautifully made and delicious.

Artist inspires with panels By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com With the pandemic and the racial injustice protests, Marilyn Gatin needed inspiration. ART The Carmel artist constructed 3-by-4 panels from reclaimed aluminum siding from her home and turned them into painted panels she calls Rainbows of Hope. Gatin works as a scientific consultant for Guidehouse, so she was busy early in the pandemic as the company was getting a lab ready for COVID-19 testing. “When that slowed down, I was a little lost and I needed to get my hope back up,” she said. “I was sick in May and had a strange illness, like nothing I’ve had before. I assumed I had (COVID). My friends are extremely careful. Several of us have conditions, including age, that make us more vulnerable. I started showing them my work while I was making these big panels and they started to come out of their funk. We were all in a funk. Everybody started feeling better because something was happening, and we were sharing.” Gatin donated and installed the first of the panels, called The Progress Gate, to Trin-

ity Haven, a home in Indianapolis for homeless LGBTQ+ youth. The panels also will go to Indy Fringe Theatre, the District Theatre in Indianapolis and Indiana Youth Group, which serves the LGBTQ community. “My concept of hope isn’t Pollyanna at all. Hope has to be constructed,” she said. “We have to do it together and give it to each other. I decided to give all those panels away and we are trying to get attention to the places where they are going. ” For more, visit marilynGatin.com.

Rear of Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco. (Photo by Don Knebel)
History of Monte Carlo Casino Commentary by Don Knebel Monte Carlo is synonymous with gambling around the world, but the citizens of Monaco cannot take advantage of their TRAVEL famous casino. In 1848, the towns of Menton and Roquebrune declared their independence from the Principality of Monaco, then governed by Prince Florestan, a member of the Grimaldi family that still controls Monaco. Princess Caroline, Florestan’s business-minded wife, convinced her husband to replace the lost tax revenue by constructing a casino along the lines of the Bad Hamburg Casino in Germany and engaged their son Charles to raise the necessary funds. When Florestan died in 1856, Prince Charles III took over the project. In 1858, work began on a casino in an area of Monaco called “Les Spelugues” (the Caves). When the building and a nearby hotel were completed in 1863, Princess Caroline convinced François Blanc, who operated the Bad Hamburg Casino, to manage the facility. To increase its appeal, Blanc renamed the area “Monte Carlo” (Mount
Charles) in honor of Prince Charles, and then set about building roads and rail lines so that people could more easily travel to Monaco. Blanc’s efforts were so successful in creating an international destination that he became known as the “Magician of Monte Carlo.” In 1878 the casino was rebuilt according to the Beaux-Arts design of French architect Charles Garnier. Monte Carlo’s new casino building also included a 524-seat opera house, now known as Salle Garnier. Today, the opulent Monte Carlo Casino is the world’s best-known place for gambling, attracting high rollers from all around the world. Citizens of Monaco are not allowed to enter the gaming rooms because of a decree engineered by Princess Caroline, who thought that gambling is immoral.

Downside of a household name Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt What do you say when you need to blow your nose and the box of tissues you want to use is across the room? You probably say something like, “Janet, GRAMMAR GUY will you please bring me a Kleenex?” This assumes there is someone named Janet on the other side of the room. How about when your lips are dry, and you know your significant other always carries lip balm in his pocket? “Hey, can I borrow your ChapStick?” The words “Kleenex” and “ChapStick” are examples of trademarked words that have become so common they often replace the generic term for the item. Kleenex is trademarked by the Kimberly-Clark company. They’re tissues, but the words “Kleenex” and “tissues” are interchangeable at this point. It’s the same with ChapStick. By the way, the trademarked “ChapStick” word is an example of bicapitalization, which is when a company sticks a capital letter in the middle of a word. ChapStick is a trademarked lip balm, but when I’m looking for
my Burt’s Bees lip balm, I say, “Have you seen my chapstick?” The term has become genericized. You’ll be surprised at some of the other terms that have become household names but are actually trademarked products. They include Band-Aid, Allen wrench, Frisbee, Popsicle and Velcro. These terms are still trademarked today. Sometimes a term becomes so ubiquitous that it actually loses its legal trademarked status. In other words, the company has been so successful in dominating the market share for its industry that the people at the trademark office take away the trademark and lowercase the item in question. This has happened with the escalator, flip phone, trampoline, thermos and heroin. Yes, heroin was trademarked by Bayer back in 1898, but it lost the trademark as part of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. At the same time, Bayer lost its trademark for aspirin.
