The Lawrence Community Safety Day has been a well-attended event since 1999.

The free event is set for 10 EVENT a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 13 at Lawrence Fire Dept. Station 40, 9350 E. 59th St. Among the features will be safety demonstrations by the Lawrence Police Dept. and Lawrence Fire Dept.

Cori Korn, deputy chief of staff for the City of Lawrence Mayor’s Office, said officials are expecting 600 to 700 people to attend.

“It’s a great family-friendly event that really brings our police and fire personnel and our community together learning about safety,” Korn said. “There are so many fun activities, the helicopter landing is always a favorite. The kids learning to use the fire hose. The wing-eating contest is always very popular. The fire department has won for the past three years, so we’ll see if the police can take over and win.”

What happened: The Fort Harrison Reuse Authority presented the Keystone Project.

The proposal was presented to the council by the Keystone group, which will develop the project.

What it means: A five-story apartment building is proposed to be built on 56th street. The bottom floor would be used to house high-end restaurants and potential grocery near Fort Harrison stores. The goal would be to drive traffic to the area and further develop Fort Harrison, according to the project’s plans. The developer would pay for 90 percent of the $66 million project, with the other 10 percent being funded by the Fort Harrison Reuse Authority.

The project will be brought up to the board for a vote Sept.6 What happened: Baker Tilly financial services’ presentation of financial plan and cashflow analysis was presented to the board. Baker Tilly presented a financial plan that looked at the board’s tentative 2022-23 budget. The budget will be introduced at the Sept. 6 meeting.

What it means: Baker Tilly officials told the board Aug. 1 that it advised the council to revise or rexamine its budget. The draft is about $2 million over budget for the city, according to a financial advisor. The council was also informed that its cash reserves would decrease by the end of the year because of budgeting more than its annual receipt. The council will begin looking at the budget Sept. 6.

Suspect in officer shooting has long record

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com

Indiana State police are still investigating the fatal July 30 shooting of an Elwood Police Dept.

CRIME officer.

The officer, Noah Shahnavaz, 24, a 2016 Fishers High School graduate, was shot during a traffic stop and died after being taken to a hospital in Shahnavaz Indianapolis. The suspected shooter, Carl Roy Webb Boards II, 42, of Anderson, was arrested in Hamilton County after a crash on Interstate 69 near 106th street in Fishers. The ​​ suspect is accused of firing 36 shots at officer Shahnavaz from a rifle with a high-capacity magazine. The officer’s gun was still in his holster upon his death.

Boards was taken to the Hamilton County Jail and was formally charged Aug. 1 with murder, two counts of resisting law enforcement and beign a serious violent felon in possession of a firearm. The Madison County Prosecutor’s Office also filed a habitual offender enhancement on the basis that Boards had at least two prior unrelated felony convictions. The charges are currently pending in the Madison County Circuit Court Division 3, with Judge Andrew Hopper set on the case. The Madison County Prosecutor’s Office is seeking a life sentence without parole because the victim was a law enforcement officer and was on duty when shot.

At this time, the prosecutor’s office is unsure if it will seek a the death penalty.

Boards has a lengthy criminal history dating to 1999. One such instance happened 16 years ago when he was arrested for firing at Indianapolis Police Dept. officers after they pulled him over for not using a turn signal. Boards then fired seven times and hit a squad car three times, according to court records.

Boards was given a 25-year aggravated sentence after being charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, three counts of resisting law enforcement and possession of a Schedule I controlled substance (eight ecstasy pills were found in his pocket upon arrest and he reportedly had taken at least one) and possession of a firearm without a license.

He was released from custody in 2019,

according to court records.

Per the events of July 30, according to Indiana State Police, Shahnavaz conducted a traffic stop around 2 a.m. of a 2012 Buick LaCrosse near the intersection of Ind. 37 and County Road 1100 N. in Madison County. The suspect exited the vehicle and fired multiple rounds, striking Shahnavaz at least once, then fled in his vehicle.

Officers from the Elwood Webb Police Dept. and Madison County Sheriff’s Dept. found the officer and gave him aid until medical assistance arrived. He was transported by medical helicopter to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, where he was later pronounced dead.

Hamilton County officers started pursuing the vehicle around 2:30 a.m., heading south on Ind. 37 near I-69. As the vehicle got on I- 69, Fishers Police Dept. officers tried to stop the vehicle twice, the second time causing the Buick to hit the median, according to the Indiana State Police.

Shahnavaz had served Elwood police for 11 months. Before that he had served in the Army for five years. He is survived by his mother, father and siblings.

“Noah proudly wore the Elwood Police Dept. uniform, serving the citizens of Elwood he was part of our city family,” Elwood Mayor Todd Jones stated. “A senseless act of violence robbed this young man of the life and career he had ahead of him.

On behalf of myself, my family and a most grateful city, I’m asking you to keep Noah’s family, friends, Elwood police dept and our city in your thoughts and prayers as we try to navigate through this tragic time.”

FPD posted condolences on social media, stating, “The Fishers Police Dept. and our community are grieving with the Elwood Police Dept. after the tragic line of duty death of their officer today. We are grateful for the efforts and professionalism by all the officers who were involved in the apprehension of the suspect. Our heart aches as we send our deepest condolences to the family and all who knew the officer. We stand alongside the officers of the Elwood PD and will be there to support them and the people of the city of Elwood in the days ahead.”

FPD postponed its Aug. 2 National Night Out event because of Shahnavaz’s death.

The event had not been rescheduled as of press time.

CHS safety finds his talents on the football field, not in the pool

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Winston Berglund gave swimming a shot.

“I gave that up after sixth grade,” he said. “It was insane how many workouts they had every day. I honestly don’t know how my sisters do it. I hated it.”

Berglund found his niche on the football field. The Carmel High Berglund School senior has committed to Purdue University to play football in the 2023 season. His twin sister, Berit, a three-time 100-yard backstroke IHSAA state champion, has committed to swim at the University of Texas. Their older sister, Meredith, will be a junior swimmer for Purdue after competing at the University of South Carolina the past two years.

Berglund, a 6-foot-1 safety, had 91 tackles, including 60 solos, and two interceptions last season for the Greyhounds, who open the season Aug. 19 against visiting Louisville Trinity.

MEET WINSTON BERGLUND

Favorite athlete: Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey Favorite type of music: Country and rap.

Favorite subject: History Hobbies: Hanging out with friends, watching UFC and college football “He is very athletic, explosive and has great ball skills,” Greyhounds coach John Hebert said. “He used to be an outfielder in baseball, so he can really gauge the ball in the air. Winston attacks blockers with his hands very well and with a powerful punch.

I would also rank him as one of the best tacklers we’ve had here in my 27 years.”

Hebert said Berglund grew into a team leader as his junior year progressed.

“He has always been a very strong competitor who gives everything he has to the

team, but I noticed him frequently picking people up and bringing his teammates together,” Hebert said. “They view him as one of the most important leaders on the team.

I am leaning on Winston and classmates to shape this team using all of the lessons they’ve learned over the past four years.

They want to win a state championship, but I know they value impacting the younger players equally.”

Berglund said he expects to be a more complete player this season.

“Last year, I really didn’t know any techniques,” he said. “I was playing on my athleticism.”

Berglund said he gave up baseball before his junior year.

“I just knew that I loved football more and that was where my passion was,” he said.

Berglund plans to study business at Purdue but isn’t sure what aspect.

“I know I want to get involved in that area, because I have always been good at making up ideas that will sell and what people want,” he said. “I chose Purdue for the endless opportunities it has on and off the field.”

Shots fired in Fishers neighborhood, no one injured

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Police Dept. is investigating gunshots fired in a Fishers neighborhood in the late evening of Aug. 1. No CRIME injuries were reported, and no arrests were made.

At approximately 11:13 p.m., FPD officers responded to a residential neighborhood where multiple 911 calls had been made reporting shots fired.

When officers responded to a home in the 10900 block of Veon Drive, southwest of E. 131st Street and Promise Road, they discovered that a vehicle in the driveway had been struck. Officers contacted the homeowners, who said nobody inside had been injured.

Police also investigated a nearby home that had been hit by gunshots. No one was in the home, and no one was injured.

Detectives believe the suspect or suspects fled the neighborhood in a vehicle, but a description wasn’t available. Police said there isn’t an ongoing threat to the public.

FPD is asking residents and homeowners in the neighborhood to check their security, doorbell or exterior video from the time frame of the shooting and contact the department at 317-773-1828 if they see any suspicious people or vehicles. Anyone with information related to the investigation are asked to contact Det. Robbie Ruble at 317-595-3319.

DISPATCHES Euchre Tournament — The Fishers American Legion will be hosting their next euchre tournament in August.

A not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community

Lawrence residents don’t have to travel far to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine.

A new restaurant — 1947 DINING Fusion Eatery and Lounge — at 5846 E. 82 St., Indianapolis, has an array of Indian and Indo-Chinese selections. The menu has classics like curries and tandoori chicken, but adventurous diners can order chargrilled octopus tentacles and a whole grilled fish marinated overnight.

Owner Himan Garg said the popularity of ethnic foods has increased in recent years.

He opened 1947 Fusion Eatery and Lounge to provide an area restaurant option for fine Indian dining.

Garg said the Castleton area is an ideal fit with the Fishers and Carmel communities nearby.

“We just felt like that was a good pocket of traffic flow for our concept,” Garg said.

The concept is authentic Indian food in a comfortable setting, where diners can enjoy more than just a meal. Garg said creating a relaxing environment, with spacious booths

and authentic Indian fare, was a focus when opening the restaurant, which is why “lounge” is in the name.

Garg also hopes patrons enjoy another of the restaurant’s qualities — the service.

“We want to make sure we emphasize our service,” Garg said.

The 1947 Fusion Eatery and Lounge is open for lunch daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Dinner hours are 5 to 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Humane Society for Hamilton County provides care, support

By Riya Chinni news@currentinwestfield.com In December 2004, Rebecca Stevens’ life changed when her beloved dog, Maggie, suffered a slipped disc NONPROFIT that severed her spinal cord and left her with paraplegia.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County had previously approached Stevens regarding employment, but it wasn’t until that night she knew she would quit her corporate job and join the nonprofit, since she could take Maggie to work and give her necessary care and attention.

Stevens said while Maggie’s accident led to her joining HSHC, it also set the tone for the organization’s mission to provide animals with a chance at life, regardless of disability, breed, age, or medical issues.

“Our philosophy is driven by the original no-kill mantra, which is that every animal gets a chance, regardless of whether they’re disabled, old, broken, not pretty, whatever special medical needs they have, it doesn’t matter,” said Stevens, HSHC president/CEO. “Every animal gets a chance. If

Humane Society for Hamilton County President/ CEO Rebecca Stevens pets Diesel. (Photo courtesy of Rebecca Stevens)

there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, then we will get them there.”

The Humane Society for Hamilton County

is an open-admission, no-kill facility that functions as animal control and a shelter for Hamilton County animals as well as transferred animals from across the U.S. Last year, the organization took in approximately 1,000 animals at risk for euthanasia from other shelters, primarily those who had special needs, advanced age, bonded pairs, bully-breed dogs or had medical emergencies. HSHC has a placement rate that tops 98 percent.

“We’re one of the very few open-admission shelters in the country that is no-kill, in the way we’re no-kill, and achieving a 98 percent-plus placement rate,” Stevens said.

HSHC receives approximately 20 percent of its funding from the county, which is used to cover basic shelter, food and care

Retired educators assist MSD of Lawrence Township students prepare for ILEARN exams

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com Last year, 24 retired teachers from the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township returned to classrooms they once taught in. And they are back again this year.

The retired educators spend three days a week in the district’s elementary and middle schools helping students practice for the statewide ILEARN reading and math tests. Students are recommended for tutoring either by their classroom teacher or parent who thinks they could benefit from the extra assistance.

Troy Knoderer, chief academic officer for MSD of Lawrence Township schools, said the school system chose to use their Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds from the COVID-19 grants during the 2021-22 school year to contract the retired teachers.

“The retired educators serve an essential role in our schools providing small-group intensive reading support for our elementary and middle school students,” Knoderer stated in an email.

The extra instruction supplements that of the students’ full-time teachers. Tutoring is provided during or after school, depending on individual student and teacher schedules. The retired teachers also assist new teachers as they start in the classrooms.

Classroom teachers and retired educators examine reading data and note the progress of each student to determine an approach that best suits their needs.

Knoderer said that the nearly 300 students who participated in the tutoring showed accelerated academic growth in the 2021-22 school year.

Two teachers who participate in the program are Cathy McDonald and Karen Taylor, who are retired from Harrison Hills Elementary. Combined, the former teachers have more than 60 years of experience.

Taylor, who taught for 35 years and served as a Title I teacher and data specialist, said working with students in small groups helps tailor instruction to each student’s needs. Taylor also met with small groups of students three days a week to help with reading at Harrison Hills.

“In any classroom, there is a huge range of skill levels among students, and it’s almost impossible for a classroom teacher to provide everything that students need,” Taylor said. “A program like this can target students who need a little extra help to achieve.”

McDonald agrees. She said she saw improvement in the students who she tutored three days a week.

“The consistency and focus within the group did allow for students to gain and practice skills with confidence,” McDonald said. “Many students I worked with were successful on the IREAD test given in the spring.”

Both teachers said one of the reasons they have not fully retired is the passion

they have for teaching. McDonald said the part-time instruction provides a good balance between her career and her family, especially as she has recently welcomed a new grandchild.

“When you’ve been doing it for so long, it’s hard to stay away,” Taylor said. “I miss the kids and I miss the (Harrison Hills) community. I taught at Harrison Hills for 27 years and have a strong attachment to this school.”

McDonald said it is a good way to stay connected with students.

“It’s another adult in their life that cares for them,” McDonald said. “They’re just so fun to talk to, and they’re just so silly and funny and they love when we come in because they don’t get to see us every day.”

STILL WORK TO BE DONE MSD of Lawrence Township saw a slight increase in testing scores from last year -- one percentage point higher -- but is still far behind the state average.

As a state, 41.2 percent of students in third- through eighth-grade students were proficient in English and language arts, and 39.4 percent were proficient in math. In Lawrence Township schools, however, only 15.3 percent of third- through eighthgrade students were proficient in English/language arts and math.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Making each word count

Importance of meeting Ernst

Commentary by Terry Anker

How many words does it take? The air is filled with noise. All around us, people are talking. Billboards shout down at us.

Podcasts, televisions, computer screens — each in their own time are demanding our attention. Hundreds of words.

Thousands of words. Millions of words.

We are awash in communication. We cannot excuse ourselves from the excess. It is estimated that we contribute some 30,000 words of our own every week (about 850 million in an average lifetime). To be sure, there is some variability. There are those of us who are sparing with what we say. Then, there are others among us who might dispose of two hours sharing an event that took 10 minutes.

Whatever the style of the speaker, the goal is the same — to communicate. So, it begs the questions: How many words are required? How many are too few or too many? As is popular on the walls of many of our homes, single words appear. They express concepts like eat, family, or love. One could assume that “eat” suggests a place in the domicile where such an activity might occur.

But for “love,” is a single word enough?

What about “love you”? Does it say something different than “I love you”? Is the complete thought communicated?

Saying “I love you because you pay me to do so” is very different from saying “I love you because you bring out the best in me.” Still, if our sonnet becomes epic and drags on for hours, does the simple and elegant point get lost for lack of a dedicated editor? Does the word count seem to count?

Effective statements require more than the right words — they might also require the right number of words. What do we hide behind our verbosity, and the same with unnecessary brevity?

Friends, there are good people in this world. Case in point -- Ernst Brionne. He’s a Delta Airlines agent in New York who single-handedly salvaged an overseas trip for me and my youngest.

Enjoy.

Our adventure began easily enough.

We flew from Indy to JFK, no problem, and then boarded our overnight flight.

Unfortunately, a series of delays, including a broken seat, a malfunctioning navigation system, and then noxious fumes from a burning air-conditioning unit, led to three hours on the tarmac and the eventual rescheduling for the following afternoon. Not ideal, but we rolled with it and used the next morning to explore Queens and the aptly named Flushing Meadows Park.

But as we were packing to go back to the airport, my daughter couldn’t locate her passport, and neither could I. Panic and tears ensued as we quickly realized it had probably been left on the original plane. This was at noon; our international flight left at 4 p.m.

Once at JFK, we were told multiple times, “There’s nothing we can do.” Until we met Ernst. He immediately offered to personally locate and search the old plane. For 90 excruciatingly long minutes, we waited for Ernst. Other travelers came and went, a toddler threw up on my shoe, and we reconciled the fact that we’d most likely be heading home.

When Ernst eventually returned, shaking his head in a “no luck” manner, we were crushed.

But Ernst is a jokester. He’d found it!

Here was a man who’d abandoned his post and walked more than 2 miles for absolute strangers to help in a moment of crisis.

There are good people in this world.

Peace out.

Addressing pediatric foot and ankle pain Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Pediatric foot and ankle pain isn’t a normal part of growing up. Although it can be common for kids to experience discomfort, we can PODIATRY relieve their pain and prevent complications as they grow. Today, we’ll review some of the most common causes of painful childhood foot conditions.

Growing pains If your child experiences foot pain once or twice every few months, there’s no need to be concerned.

But if the pain is chronic, it’s worth an office visit.

Typically, we can minimize pain related to growth with ice or heat, along with massage and even light exercise.

Sever’s disease If your tween experiences heel pain, it could be Sever’s disease. This is an inflammation in your child’s growth plate at the back of his or her heel.

Treatment usually includes taking a break from strenuous activities for several months, allowing the bone to heal. To manage pain, we may introduce stretching routines and/or anti-inflammatory medications and orthotics.

arch. If your school-age child still has no arch, intervention is necessary to prevent chronic foot pain and other complications. Adding arch support to your child’s shoes can help. In rare cases, surgery may be necessary.

Ingrown toenails Ill-fitting shoes can push against the nail, causing it to turn inward. Plus, adults often trim nails too close to the nail bed, or in a curved shape. You’ll notice an ingrown nail if the skin around the nail bed appears red, swollen or shows pus. The best way to treat an ingrown nail is in the office. Fixing at home will only cause more pain and could lead to worse infections.

Shoe choices Some conditions or body mechanics hurt your child’s feet. But often the real cause of their pain is wearing the wrong footwear. Children are active and need supportive shoes. Not sure what kind of shoes your child needs? Contact our office today to discuss the best type of footwear for your child’s feet.

DISPATCHES Dangers of juicing — Making your own juice from fresh fruits and veggies can be a healthy choice for many people. There is a risk, however, of getting an overdose of sugar. Removing the juice (and sugar) from the fiber of the fruit makes the sugar content more concentrated. A good rule of thumb is to use a rotating variety of greens as the base of your juice with only one serving of fruit. This will keep the sugar content much lower.

Indy soprano star’s appearance in ‘Tosca’ highlights Indy Opera season schedule

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey didn’t take long to pinpoint what he most looks forward to MUSIC about the organization’s 202223 schedule.

“The highlight will be Angela Brown singing her first ‘Tosca’ in her hometown,” Starkey said. “She has sung Aida and Porgy and Bess, but never ‘Tosca.’ While this will not be her last, it will be her only ‘Tosca’ for Indy and yet she brings her worldclass experience to the opera stage as one of the best modern-day Toscas ever. She will feature the famous aria in the ‘Opera In the Park’ concert.”

The fifth annual “Opera in the Park” opens the 48th season schedule at 7 p.m.

Sept. 10 at McAllister Amphitheater at Garfield Park in Indianapolis.

Giacomo Puccini’s “Tosca” featuring Brown, an Indianapolis-born soprano, is set for Nov. 11-13 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Brown, Indianapolis Opera’s artistic and education ambassador, has performed the title of Floria Tosca several times in other cities, but this will be her first time performing the entire opera in the Indianapolis area.

“I love the music drama,” Brown said of the opera, which is set during the French Revolution. “She goes through so many emotions throughout the whole evening from being jealous to being in love to being upset and angry and then being so upset she kills somebody and then she jumps and kills herself.”

Brown said she remembers seeing Tim Noble perform in an Indianapolis Opera production of “Tosca” when she was a student at Indiana University.

“I always said I would love to do ‘Tosca’ with Tim Noble,” Brown said. “I got a chance to sing a scene with him, but he’s not singing anymore. But at least I got a chance to do it (in Indianapolis).”

At “Opera in the Park,” Brown will be

joined by pianist Joshua A. Thompson, saxophonist Jared Thompson and baritone Daniel Narducci along with the Indianapolis Opera’s resident artists and chorus.

“You always get a little bit of everything,” Brown said. “It’s something for everyone to enjoy. You have musical theater. Jared brings the jazz because he has Premium Blend and Joshua is a classical pianist in his own right. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Brown was scheduled to perform as “Aida” in Portland Aug. 7. Before “Tosca,” she will perform in “Charlie Parker’s Yardbird” at the Dayton Opera Oct. 7-9.

The Indianapolis Opera schedule con-

tinues with two performances in 2023.

The Contemporary Workshop Series will feature “Gallantry & More” at 4 p.m. March 25-26 at the Basile Opera Center in Indianapolis. “Gallantry” is a one-act comedic opera. In addition, there will be a world premiere of a new operatic work.

Wolfgang Mozart’s classic “The Magic Flute” is set for May 5-7 at The Toby at Newfields in Indianapolis. The opera features some of Mozart’s most recognizable melodies. It follows the journey of Prince Tamino as he tries to rescue his true love Pamina from the wrath of dark sorcerer Sarastro.

For more, visit indyopera.org.

Fishers District, a mixed-used dining, retail, entertainment and residential development, will feature a series of live concerts each Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. now through Sept. 22.

in surrounding counties and in Anderson and Columbus, the ICC’s programming annually reaches more than 2,500 young people.

“Thanks to funding like this grant from IAC, we can continue to bring the ICC experience to more and more children throughout the community,” stated Carmel resident Joshua Pedde, ICC artistic director. “It’s about so much more than just singing.

When these kids come together to form a choir, they make lasting friendships, learn about leadership, grow to appreciate cultural differences and gain other lifelong skills.”

Miah Michaelsen, executive director of the Indiana Arts Commission, said art and creativity strengthen the fabric of Indiana’s communities.

“They promote connection and cohesion, foster the entrepreneurial spirit communities need to thrive and create the kinds of communities where people want to live,” Michaelsen stated. “In each of Indiana’s 92 counties, public funding for arts and creativity continually proves to be a high-return investment that improves the quality of life of every Hoosier and drives economic development within our state.”

Henthorn gets festival spotlight

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This was one offer Doug Henthorn couldn’t refuse.

Henthorn said he was exCONCERT cited to receive an invitation to perform Sept. 3-4 in the two-day All IN Music and Arts Festival at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Henthorn and his band will be one of several acts performing Sept. 3. The exact time and fairgrounds site hasn’t been determined. The headliners for Sept. 3 are Daryl Hall and John Oates and Portugal. The Man. Henthorn, a 55-year-old Westfield resident, said he expects his set will be approximately 60 to 75 minutes. He plans to perform songs from his new record, songs from his other two albums and songs from when he was a member of Healing Sixes.

“There will be a handful of choice cover songs,” he said.

The new album, “Three,” includes seven new songs and three cover songs — The Beatles’ “Across the Universe,” the Eagles’ “Wasted Time” and The Cars’ “Drive.”

After Henthorn released his first solo

album, “Cold Medicine,” in 2016, he had some health issues.

After being diagnosed with parotid (saliva) gland cancer, he had surgery and 33 rounds of radiation.

“That kind of thing will rattle you,” Henthorn said. “Then a year later I had a false positive after a colonoscopy that said I had colon cancer, but the biopsy came back negative. But for a month I was in limbo, so it was a horrible time.”

Henthorn said he wrote most of the songs on “Three” during that time.

Blueprint for Improvement: Exterior upgrade on Geist Reservoir Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1988 on Geist Reservoir, this home’s owners were looking to update the exterior and increase the waterfront backyard’s aesthetic appeal and entertaining space.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • A covered deck made from Ipe, a Brazilian hardwood that naturally repels insects and resists decay, replaced a gravel patio. Retractable screens hidden in the deck’s columns provide protection from the elements at the press of a button.

• The upper deck was reconfigured with clean lines for a modern appeal. Trex composite decking and a water mitigation system ensure durability with minimal maintenance.

• A pool house and Smart Pergola with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace were added to increase entertaining space. The Smart Pergola is equipped with louvres that can be angled to direct the breeze or closed to deflect rain for all-season outdoor enjoyment.

• The stonework around the pool was replaced with a sand matrix concrete that stays cool in the sun, is nonslip and comfortable underfoot.

• The brickwork on the façade was repaired and painted.

Some more semordnilaps Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Virginia Memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting Gettysburg National Military Park Commentary by Don Knebel Continuing our road trip, today we visit Gettysburg, the site of the turning point of the American Civil War. TRAVEL

By June 1863, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, led by General Robert E. Lee, had achieved significant victories against Union forces in the South. To take the fight to the North, Lee ordered his troops into Pennsylvania.

President Lincoln responded by ordering the Union Army of the Potomac to stay between the Confederate ranks and Washington, D.C. On the morning of July 1, 1863, a contingent of soldiers from each army unexpectedly converged on Gettysburg, a college town in southern Pennsylvania. After shooting broke out, commanders on both sides ordered their forces into and around Gettysburg, where massive battles ensued. The fighting ended with Lee’s retreat on July 4. The day before, an open-field assault by 12,500 Confederate soldiers against Union forces assembled atop Cemetery Ridge (“Pickett’s Charge”) had failed, with disastrous casualties. By then, 93,921 Union soldiers and 71,699 Confederate soldiers had engaged in the battles, with almost a third of them killed, wounded, captured or missing.

In 1895, Congress established Gettysburg National Military Park. Today, the park contains almost 5,000 acres. Forty miles of scenic roads lead to famous battle sites, such as Little Round Top and Seminary Ridge.

Hundreds of cannons mark artillery positions during the battles. The park includes restored buildings that figured into the fighting. Hundreds of monuments and me-

View of the Gettysburg battlefield from Little Round Top.

We all know examples of palindromes: taco cat, racecar, kayak, Hannah. A palindrome is a word that, when spelled backward, is the same GRAMMAR GUY word. Today, however, I want to delve into the bizarro world of the semordnilap.

While palindromes have this beautiful letter symmetry to them, a semordnilap is actually the word “palindromes” spelled backward. That’s because a semordnilap is a word that, when spelled backward, becomes a different word altogether.

As far as we know, the term “semordnilap” comes from C.C. Bombaugh’s 1961 book “Oddities and Curiosities of Words and Literature.”

By definition, the word “semordnilap” is itself a semordnilap, as it is the word “palindromes” spelled backward. I told you this was going to be nerdy!

Here are a few examples of semordnilaps that form real words. Our baby is 3 months old, so we’re back in the world of diapers. The word “diaper” is a semordnilap, as spelling it backward yields

“repaid.” When I’m “stressed,” I eat “desserts.” See what I did there?

Just for fun, try to find the semordnilaps in the following sentences: No one knew what to call the gateman, as he wore no nametag.

Do cats swap paws?

Former Pacer Reggie Miller gave a recap of the basketball game.

I’ve found some notable semordnilaps whose words were coined by reversing real names or words. The most recognizable example belongs to Oprah, whose “Harpo” Studios is a production company that spells “Oprah” backward. For the Disney fans out there: Did you know that the name of the sorcerer in “Fantasia” is named Yensid? The name was derived by reversing the letters of “Disney.” Now, that’s some word wizardry!

Eternal Light and Peace Memorial at the Gettysburg battlefield.

morials honor groups of Gettysburg combatants near the places where they fought. The most impressive monument is the Eternal Light Peace Memorial, dedicated at a ceremony in 1938 on the 75th anniversary of the battle that was attended by 1,845 veterans from both sides, averaging 94 years of age.

The Visitor Center orients guests to various battle locations and features a cyclorama (more about that and the Gettysburg Address coming soon).
