The Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program had so much success with last year’s inaugural Hamilton EMPLOYMENT County Hiring Fair that it plans to play host to a second event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 14 at Ivy Tech, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville. Last year, 270 job seekers attended. Sixty vendors, each offering full-time positions with a minimum starting salary of $27,000, participated. The requirements are the same for the March event, and organizers hope to have up to 75 vendors. “People came, and not only did they interview for jobs, but actually received job offers that day,” said Jason Ells, a member of the Sheridan Youth Assistance Program board and senior vice president of Custom Concrete in Westfield. “Not only did they do on-site interviews, but people were hired on the spot.” Job offerings will be in specific fields, including health care, hospitality, agricultural science, construction, technology, transportation, manufacturing and public safety. Many of the jobs also offer benefits, and some will offer starting salaries above the $27,000 minimum. Training agencies will be featured as well.
Application and resume assistance will be provided by Work One of Hamilton County. The event is free for job seekers. “We will have training agencies there such as Ivy Tech, and those who are training people versus employers,” said Lisa Samuels, an early intervention advocate for the SYAP. “If you want to learn a trade, there’s also those opportunities, too.” The event will have an open-house feel. Job seekers are not required to attend the entire day. “We are going to have volunteers there to help people, show them around and make introductions to walk them to an area they’re interested in,” Ells said. “It really is a wraparound service for those who are intimidated – the introverted folks who may not necessarily know how to talk to people well. We will have people there to help you with that. There really isn’t an excuse not to be there.” Many of the vendors offering jobs do not require a college degree. Entry-level and experienced skill trades will be offered. “Come meet people who want to meet you,” Ells said. “You’ve got a captive audience of employers who are ready to hire people.” Vendors must sign up by March 7. For more or to register as a vendor, visit eventbrite. com/e/2019-hamilton-county-career-hiringfair-registration-53191767007.
Scholarships offered — Tru Direction, Inc. will award scholarships of $500 to $2,500 per qualified applicant (maximum $10,000 per calendar year) as determined by the scholarship committee. Scholarships may be used for any related expenses for college, university, trade school or technical school. Applications are due by March 31. Learn more at trudirection.org. Civil War roundtable — A. James Fuller will speak at the Feb. 13 meeting of the Hamilton County Civil War Roundtable at Carmel City Hall, 1 Civic Square. Fuller is the past president of the Indiana Association of Historians. He has published six books. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the program beginning at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Democratic women to meet — The Democratic Women of Hamilton County will meet from 10 to 11 a.m. Feb. 16 at the Delaware Township Trustee Office, 9090 E 131st St., Fishers. Coffee will be served beginning at 9:30 a.m. The guest speaker is Dana Black of Indiana’s Own. Casino Night — Congregation Shaarey Tefilla, 3085 W. 116th St. in Carmel, will play host to the 19th annual Casino Night & Silent Auction from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. Feb. 23. Tickets are $25 per person with a $10 voucher to use toward silent auction purchases. Guests must be at least 21 years old.

“I was blessed to find a cardiac team who fought as hard for my life, as I fought for my country.” – al d.
As a former U.S. Marine, Al flew combat helicopters into the jungles of Vietnam. Over five decades later, he began battling a series of heart complications which proved just as dangerous. Ten years ago he had five bypasses at Community Heart and Vascular. And now, years later, a heart murmur was growing more concerning, and simple chores had him short of breath. Through minimally invasive surgery, Al underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at Community. Via a stent, Al’s aortic valve was replaced with the heart valve from a cow. In just two days, he was back carrying the garbage to the curb. Grateful he says, “that I get the privilege of putting my hand over a heart that’s still ticking.” Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

Options to relocate to Westfield By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com By fall of 2021, Options Charter School plans to serve more students by moving its current EDUCATION Carmel campus, 530 West Carmel Dr., to the northwest quadrant of Ind. 32 and Gunther Boulevard in Westfield. Options is an alternative Gustin school for students who don’t perform as well in a traditional school setting. Many of Options’ students require a smaller setting due to anxiety or a socialemotional issue. Options recently joined the Hamilton Boone Madison Special Services Cooperative and began developing partnerships with traditional public schools in the area. “We started having conversations with Noblesville, Sheridan, Hamilton Heights and, a little later, Westfield, on how we can better partner with them because they’re losing students who aren’t thriving in their environments,” Options President and CEO Mike Gustin said. “So, how can we help identify those students and, for some of those students, we would be a good fit.” Public school districts will transfer students who would be better suited for Options, and several districts actually provide transportation for those students to either the Noblesville or Carmel Options campuses. “They bus students who would have at-
tended Sheridan schools to Options Noblesville,” Options COO Michelle Walden said. “They realize it’s a benefit to the family to make sure they get to school.” “For that reason, our board decided because of the strong partnership with Sheridan and Westfield, our board decided to move (the Carmel campus) a little further north (to Westfield),” Gustin said. Walden The move will not only provide a campus closer to those students residing in Sheridan and Westfield, but it also will help accomplish the goal of switching leases to mortgages. The land and construction of Options Westfield will cost approximately $3 million to $3.5 million. The space will be approximately 15,000 square feet versus 13,000 square feet at Options Carmel. Another benefit is the new Westfield campus will be a one-story building. Options Westfield plans to offer grades sixth, seventh and eighth at the Westfield campus. “Currently, our middle school has a waiting list at Noblesville, and we prefer not to have a waiting list because we feel students on a waiting list means students not being served,” Walden said. The move could happen as early as fall 2020. For more, visit optionsschools.org.

OBITUARIES Catherine Alice “Cate” Weglarz, 5, of Westfield, died Jan. 20 following a very brief illness. She was born May 1, 2013, in Indianapolis, to two adoring parents who lovingly placed Cate in the care of her adoptive parents, Brian and Julie Weglarz, who cherished her every day. Cate was a kindergarten student at Saint Maria Goretti Weglarz Catholic School and had previously attended Orchard Park Learning Center in Indianapolis. Most importantly, Cate was a child of God and entered into God’s family through Baptism on Sept. 21, 2013. Her godparents are Susan Doll and Melissa Hopp. Cate was loving and kind and had a genuine heart. She was a good and loyal friend and quite silly once you got to know her. She enjoyed all crafts, the messier the better, and especially loved coloring, painting and face painting. Her favorite place to play was outside, pedaling her bike, jumping in the leaves or swinging on the play set. Cate adored her dog Lenny and often would crawl into his crate to keep him company. Cate also loved music, dancing, baking, playing with her dolls and stuffed animals and dressing up in her favorite color pink. For more, visit bussellfamilyfunerals.com.

Westfield couple talks marriage and relationship tips for Valentine’s Day By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Above all, Tom and Kerri Dooley insist their Catholic faith is the glue that binds them together. The COVER STORY Westfield residets were married Oct. 6, 2001, and have five children together. Even after 17 years, the Dooleys realize they have something special. They met while attending Purdue University. “We met at Purdue in class,” Tom said. “It was close to Valentine’s Day when we met because Kerri was sitting in front of me in a lecture, and she turned around and offered me some of those candy hearts, those little conversation hearts.” Kerri, however, said she doesn’t remember offering Tom the candy hearts. “He’d been watching me,” she said, laughing. Tom and Kerri graduated in 2000 and married shortly thereafter. After 17 years and raising a family, Kerri said the biggest challenge she and Tom have as a couple is finding time for each other. “I guess for us the biggest challenge is finding time for just us because we do have five kids,” Kerri said. “And transportation,” Tom added, laughing. The Dooleys make time for each other between their kids’ activities. “We will even both go to our kids’ practices, and last week (we) went to our son’s basketball practice and just walked around the Pacers Athletic Center for a while,” Tom said. By not being “fancy people,” Kerri said they also watch movies or spend time together after their kids go to bed. But again, the couple credit faith for their strong bond.
“For us, it’s to be strong in our faith and have this foundation, and we can go to that whenever we have any kind of (struggle),” Kerri said. On the lighter side, Tom has some advice for others. “(My advice is) to laugh,” he said. “Because neither of us really take ourselves too seriously. We both like to laugh a lot and to make each other laugh, so I think that helps.” As for Valentine’s Day, last year the five Dooley kids fixed their parents dinner at home, and Kerri said she expects them to do the same this year. “Usually, we go out and try different restaurants, but last year we started this thing where the kids love it and have a fancy dinner for us,” Kerri said. “They make the

Carmel Catholic Church. • Favorite thing about being married: For Kerri, it’s having the one person to go through life with. “Just having your one person, your support system – the one person you can always count on to go to,” she said. For Tom, it’s being his best self while around Kerri. “Just feeling like you never feel like yourself unless you’re with that person,” he said. “You always feel like your best self when you’re with that person.” • Anniversary traditions: Tom and Kerri Dooley try to take a small trip each year for their anniversary and find an antique together to place in their home. Previous antique purchases include a church pew, a buffet table and a metal stool.

ESSAY Fixing bias
LETTER The next level
Commentary by Terry Anker “As we forgive them that trespass against us…” holds the line from one of the most often recited prayers of the modern era. Originally published in 1611, the 14-line, 70-word devotion encourages us to remember the simple rules of a civilized life. Remember that we are subservient to a higher power. Remember that food and security are not assured. Remember that we are frail and easily tempted to our own destruction and that vengeance benefits not us or those against whom we might seek it. But in a world where many have replaced a Sunday morning reciting of the Lord’s Prayer with an endless watching of the Sunday political shows, our collective conscience seems to have moved from one of self-restraint to one of aggressive demands for retribution. Surely, if not retaliatory, the various talking heads seem to foment a sense of clannish entitlement: “We are wronged. You are taking my stuff/ dignity/position/whatever, and we will fight you to get it back.” A well-respected local arts organization recently announced its intention to adhere to 50/50 by 2020 – a plan designed to reach “parity” in the arts. All voices, if worthy, should be heard. Still, if one is to understand the thinking, because there has been bias, real or perceived, in who is getting selected to volunteer, to exhibit, to evaluate, then we must consider an institutionalized system of bias to stop bias. An eye for an eye and all that thinking. Art has long been filtered by wealth and power. Is it possible that talent matters but only as a subset of what is allowed to be seen? Still, can we expect or hope that an institutionalized bias is the tool used to fix institutionalized bias? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Let snow, let it snow, let it snow Commentary by Danielle Wilson I survived the Polar Vortex of 2019! And what’s more, I was able to reflect on how far I’ve come as a mother. HUMOR Remember the Snowpocalypse of 2014? For those of you still suffering from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Snow Disorder), recall that five years ago we had a winter break that was extended by essentially seven days thanks to a blizzard and record-low temps. I was literally trapped indoors with a moody 15-year-old, bickering twin 12-year olds and a precocious 9-year old for three full weeks. Each night, I would offer up several Hail Marys, burn incense and sacrifice a chicken cordon bleu in hopes that someone, somewhere, would get the schools open. Scrabble and breakfast for dinner can take you only so far before Legos start looking like potential weapons and one begins seriously considering a permanent move to Boca, sunburn and geriatrics be damned.
But no longer! With our oldest away at college and none of the rest emerging from hibernation until noon, at the earliest, snow days are now fun days. I anticipated with delight the dangerous wind chills and the icy roads that would keep us stuck at home by the fire with nothing to do but watch Netflix and eat cookie dough. I applauded when the two-hour delay became a cancellation, and I still had at least three hours to myself to clean the house, stalk Facebook and binge more cookie dough. Vortex schmortex. It was awesome. So, to all you parents with young ones at home, I suppose I’m offering a warm light at the end of future Snowmageddon tunnels. Hang in there! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Independence is happiness.” -Susan B. Anthony
Editor, The governor and our legislature have already invested in programs that are delivering more (than) 100 times the returns to Hoosiers. Prior efforts of Gov. Eric Holcomb and the Indiana General Assembly to invest in our workforce have already positively impacted the lives of many Hoosiers while building upon a solid foundation for economic growth. The 2019 General Assembly has the opportunity to leverage this to achieve exponential growth for Indiana. Tens of thousands of jobs remain unfilled today in Indiana, with a projection of more than 65,000 open tech jobs over the next decade. Thus far, Workforce Ready Grants have already benefitted more than 13,000 Hoosiers and Employer Training Grants, through more than 450 employers participating, and trained more than 6,500. Funded under the governor’s program, Eleven Fifty Academy, a nonprofit organization, has produced 30-plus graduates with a 93 percent graduation rate, an 81 percent job placement and an average starting salary of $51,000. If Eleven Fifty Academy is fully enabled to train 3,000-plus Hoosiers over the next two years, doing its small part to fill those 65,000 jobs, it will create $62.5 million in Hoosier income in the first year. My advice: Leverage the things that are working and invest tenfold, for this is how we move the needle. This is how we win. Scott Jones, Carmel

Vicious recycle cycle Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I had our usual Sunday evening conversation. “Is this the week we put out HUMOR the recycling?” I asked. “No, we put it out last week, didn’t we?” “We did, but they didn’t pick it up, so it must be this week.” “Maybe we put it out too late and missed the truck,” Mary Ellen said. “Does anyone else have their recycle bin out?” “Yes, Jerry took his out,” I said. “You can’t go by him. Jerry puts it out every Monday, Dick. He’s always the cause of the confusion.” “Wait, Eric’s putting his out now. I’m going to take ours out, too.” As I was wheeling our trash and recycling dumpsters out of the garage, Eric called to me. “Dick, is this the recycling week?” “I’m not sure, Eric. But Paul’s putting his out.” I hollered to Paul: “Are you sure this is the week for recycling?” “I don’t think it is, Dick, but I saw you guys putting yours out, and I figured you
knew.” Within minutes, every house had their yellow-lidded receptacles in the driveway. “If this is the wrong week, everyone will be blaming us,” Mary Ellen said. Monday evening, the bins were untouched, so I watched everyone haul their recyclables back into their garages. A lot of people talking trash about the Wolfsies. The next morning, I heard Rays Recycling truck approaching. “NO!” I screamed. It’s Tuesday! Then I remembered, Monday was Martin Luther King Day. No pick-up. I felt guilty for messing up everyone, so I organized a neighborhood meeting where we created a recycling schedule for the next 20 years and emailed the spreadsheet to everyone. The whole thing was very educational, but I agree with Kermit the Frog. It’s not easy being green.

Rose Senior Living holds drive By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com Rose Senior Living Carmel partnered with Indiana Blood Center, now managed by Versiti, to play host to a GIVING BACK Jan. 29 blood drive. The blood center bus parked in front of the senior living center, 1285 Fairfax Manor Dr., Carmel, during the event. Blood center technicians Danielle Denise and Charles Arvin accepted blood from donors, including several Rose Senior Living staff. “Rose Senior Living Carmel prides itself in giving back to the community in any way we can,” said Dana Shore, marketing and sales director at Rose Senior Living. “When we realized January was National Blood Donor Month, we knew hosting a blood drive would be a great way to give back.” Indiana Blood Center announced in early January that it was in dire need of donations, as blood donations historically decline in winter months. Certain blood types, such as B positive, are in critically short supply. “Each unit can help up to three people,” Denise said.

Carmel Community Players production takes a lyrical look at relationships By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The four-person cast of “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” hastens through rapid character THEATER development. “You don’t have arc of character throughout the show, but you have that in every scene,” actress Brenna Whitaker said. The Noblesville resident appears in the Carmel Community Players’ nine performances of the musical on weekends from Feb. 22 to March 10 at The Cat, 245 Veterans Way, Carmel. The musical examines relationships from first dates to dealing with marriage, child rearing, empty nests and beyond. “I did this show for the first time at Mud Creek, maybe 10 or 15 years ago,” Whitaker said. “A few years after that I did it at Myers Dinner Theatre in Hillsboro. Every character plays multiple parts. We’re a different person in every scene. After this show I will have done every women’s part. The fun thing about doing it multiple times is I was at a different stage in life each time I did it. The first time it resonated because I was single and dating. Now, I’m married with a young son, so the second act is what is resonating now.” Westfield resident Dee Timi suggested staging the musical to CCP, having directed it in Joplin, Mo., in 2008 when she lived there. “It’s that show that makes you laugh, makes you cry,” Timi said. “No matter what stage of life you’re in, it’s fun.” Libby Buck, an Indianapolis resident, saw the musical for the first time in New York on a field trip with her Valparaiso High School musical theater class. “I’ve been obsessed with it ever since,” Buck said. But she hasn’t seen it since. “This has been one of my bucket-list shows, so it’s been really exciting to participate,” she said. “The most challenging part is recalling what your character is from scene to scene. When I saw it in high

AnnaLee Traeger and Christine Zavakos round out the cast as Kitten 1/Thing 1 and Kitten 2/ Thing 2, respectively. The show is directed by Elizabeth Stark Payne and choreographed by Jennifer Ladner. The musical director is Kristy Templet. Ed Stockman is the stage manager. Performances are at 10 a.m. Fridays, and at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Saturdays. All tickets are $17 and include a snack.

school, I just thought it was funny. Now, I’ve been married for 10 years and have two kids of my own, so a lot of the second act makes more sense to me now.” Buck and the two male cast members, Jonathan Scoble, Carmel, and Christian Condra, Indianapolis, are making their CCP debuts. “Playing different characters is the thrill,” Scoble said. “Playing different characters are, to me, what is the most fun about acting. It’s hilarious. The script drew me in pretty quickly.” Scoble said he got a call that CCP was looking for men because not many showed up to the auditions. “Christian and I have been working together for a couple of shows now and we want to work together more,” Scoble said. Scoble, who is single, said he identifies
with several of the characters. “The trials and tribulations of dating, don’t we all have a story?” Scoble said. “From beginning to end, you can see interactions between men and women, which is fascinating.” The experience is new for Condra. “I’ve always done shows that are one consistent story, and this is a bunch of different skits,” Condra said. “It’s almost ‘SNL, the Musical,’ that’s what stood out to me. It runs the range of different acting styles.” Noblesville resident Sandy Baetzhold is the musical director. The book and lyrics are by Joe DiPietro and the music is by Jimmy Roberts. The musical played off-Broadway for more than nine years before being released to community theaters. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

“Love is like wine. To sip is fine, but to empty the bottle is a headache” — Julio Iglesias WINEderlust Looking for a special Valentine bottle? Show your love some love with one of these great options that won’t break the bank. I’ve got three pretties to share: a white, a red and a sparkler. Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. Cheers! The white is 2014 Hugel Gentil, an Edelzwicker (blend) from Alsace, France. It’s heavy on the Gewurztraminer with smaller amounts of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat. A full-bodied and refreshing wine with a beautiful, perfumey nose. In the glass are crisp fruit flavors with a lean, lemony finish. A great choice with fish and shellfish. This wine is an old favorite of mine that is consistent from year to year. Dry and $15. 2015 Charles Smith Wines “Velvet Devil”
Merlot, $14, is from Washington. A dense red wine that begs for beef dishes or dark chocolate dessert. Expect a mouthful of dark cherries and blackberries, big cedar and sweet tobacco. Velvet Devil offers big flavor in a luxurious, velvety smooth finish. This one goes down fast and easy. This unique sparkler is bone dry and dark red with pretty pink foam. Midici Ermete I Quercioli “Secco” is a Lambrusco from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and will set you back about $15. This works beautifully with cheesy pasta dishes like ravioli and also is a successful choice with clams, mussels and oysters.

Celebrate Punchbowl Social The Cook’s Salad from Punchbowl Social in downtown Indianapolis is a fresh, unique combination of many vibrant ingredients. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Commentary by Anna Skinner
my mother’s fried bologna for breakfast. For my main dish, I ordered the Cook’s Salad, a giant bowl of little gem lettuce, bacon, crispy chicken, tomatoes, pickled green beans, creamy avocado, hard-boiled eggs, gruyere cheese, Dixie Caviar (which is actually just a fancy way of saying blackeyed peas) and a shallot-thyme vinaigrette dressing. The salad was fresh, filling and had a unique twist with the combination of ingredients. Suggested pairings: Punchbowl Social has several punch bowls, and if they’re in the restaurant’s name, you know they have to be good. There are three main offerings – The Watermelon Polo Bowl, It’s a Mer-Man’s World and The King’s Cup, all $9. A featured punch, which the bartender will educate you on if you visit, is $8. All contain alcohol and are delicious. For more, visit punchbowlsocial.com.
Address: 120 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis What to get: Cook’s Salad Price: $14 Anna’s take: Punchbowl Social offers more than just extraordinary food and drinks. It features an arcade, a bowling alley, karaoke, games like giant Scrabble and giant Jenga, the famous red cursive “I love you so much” wall and more. Before I even ordered, I was brought a complimentary basket of the most delicious little biscuits and jam. For an appetizer, I started with the Lil’ Fried Bologna and Cheese Sandwiches ($8). I grew up in the country, so taking a bite out of these bologna, tomato, olive tapenade and gruyere sandwiches was like a slightly fancier memory of eating

Blueprint for Improvement: White-hot kitchen remodel in Indianapolis Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Before
Our team transformed this ho-hum kitchen into a true centerpiece of the home. 1. The homeowners chose a gorgeous gray for the lower cabinets and white for the upper cabinets. 2. Bulkheads over the cabinets were removed and replaced with taller cabinetry that not only provides more storage, but makes the room seem taller. 3. A quartz countertop was installed, and the tile backsplash was taken all the way to the ceiling to give the illusion of a taller ceiling. 4. Instead of two smaller pantries, the design gave the homeowners one larger, more functional pantry space and a new counter for meal prep. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.
Background: Built in 1985, this home is near Eagle Creek Reservoir. The homeowners were looking to modernize their space and streamline their lives.
THE CHALLENGE
Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.
The homeowners worked with our designers to create a space that felt bigger without knocking down any walls. They also wanted more functional storage space.

Anyway, not any way is right Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I think we have a strong, American impulse that tells us to do something despite someone else’s warning to not do that very thing. I’m sure someone GRAMMAR GUY cautioned motorcycle stuntman Evel Knievel not to attempt jumping over a box of 50 rattlesnakes followed by two mountain lions in 1965, but he did it anyway. I suppose it doesn’t matter that he bumped into the edge of the box of snakes when he landed, causing the onlookers to scramble for their lives, because this stunt literally launched Knievel’s career as an entertainer and household name. Now, it’s time to launch into today’s grammar lesson. When should you use “anyway” and when should you use “any way”? And is “anyways” ever acceptable? Let’s jump in. Anyway means “in any case” or “regardless.” Even though many people warned him, Evel Knievel attempted to jump across the canyon anyway. You also can use anyway to signal you’re continuing a story that was interrupted. “So, anyway, I told the guy, ‘That’s not even my dog!’ Jeff joked.” When it comes to “any way” as two words, the rules are
DISPATCHES Keeping coffee fresh – For storing coffee and keeping beans on hand, here are some helpful guidelines. 1. Store whole beans, not ground — ground coffee loses flavor quickly 2. Use coffee beans within two weeks for the best flavor 3. Store beans in an airtight container somewhere dark and cool — but not in the refrigerator Source: TheKitchn.com
Commentary by Don Knebel The Rocks, a fashionable area in Sydney, Australia, was once home to English convicts. Its name comes from the quarries where they hewed rocks. After the American colonies gained indeTRAVEL pendence, England selected eastern Australia, then uninhabited by Europeans, as the new overseas dumping ground for its convicts. On Jan, 26, 1788, its anniversary celebrated as Australia Day, an English fleet brought 850 convicts to the southern shore of what is now Sydney Harbor. The prisoners built their own homes from mud and wood among the nearby sandstone quarries where many were forced to work. After Sydney became a port city, the quarry area, called The Rocks, was home to brothels and bars serving incoming sailors. The area’s reputation took more hits when it was quarantined during the plague of 1900 and when the approach to the Sydney Harbor Bridge sliced through its western side in 1923. By mid-century, Sydney’s city planners proposed leveling all the remaining structures in the dreary slum and replacing them with high-rises. A protest by residents of The Rocks, some tracing their families’ roots in the area to 1800, led to a 1975 agreement that buildings, including residences, would be preserved and important buildings restored. When cruise ships began docking nearby, restored buildings in The Rocks were transformed into popular tourist destinations. The picturesque ASN Co. Building, once a warehouse, now houses a gallery and retail shops. Other restored buildings became museums and restaurants. The area under the Sydney Harbor Bridge is now a park, with a spectacular view of the Sydney Opera House. Sydney’s sophisticated young people

different. The word “any” modifies “way.” Any way means “by any manner” or “by any method.” For example: There wasn’t any way the rattlesnakes were going to go back into the box voluntarily. In order to get my kids to go to sleep at night, I’ll bribe them in any way I can. “Anyways” is a nonstandard, or colloquial, way of saying “anyway.” I wouldn’t advise you to use it in a formal speech (like while delivering a eulogy or a State of the Union address), but it’s not necessarily wrong. Use it only in informal speech or writing. However, as soon as I try to forbid you from using “anyways” in your lexicon, you’re totally going to do it. It’s just like when someone told Evel Knievel he couldn’t jump over 50 cars — he did it anyway. As soon as anyone attempts to limit the American psyche or tell us we can’t do something, we answer the doubters and haters by saying, “Just watch me.” Just make sure the snakes stay in their box this time.
