Full Gluten-Free Menu! Planners send Davis PUD to council

Services will not occur July 4.

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission met May 7 and approved the only old item on the agenda, the DEVELOPMENT Davis Planned Unit Development. A public hearing was held Jan. 16 on the PUD. Since then, modifications, including redesigning the layout of the proposal, reducing the maximum number of lots and modification of buffer yards for reforestation, have been added. The proposal adds homes to the west of Ditch Road between 156th and 161st steets just north of the New Harmony subdivision. The city council originally discussed the PUD at its Dec. 11, 2017 meeting. President of Estridge Homes Paul Estridge Jr. spoke before the APC, addressing a notice that was distributed throughout the community prior to the meeting. “Let me begin by addressing the elephant, or elephants, in the room,” Estridge said. “A notice was placed on doors in our community, emails were sent out. I want to read and address it.” The notice left on some homeowners’ doors said the May 7 plan commission meeting vote on the Davis PUD would be another irresponsible development and the development doesn’t meet financial requirements or base requirements for the city and public schools. Estridge said both comments are “crazy.” He said almost all criteria of the comprehensive plan has been met. “Simply making false statements does not make it true,” Estridge said. “They are an embarrassment to our entire community. This insults me, my family and everybody involved.” Referencing the recent announcement between the City of Westfield and the Estridge Homes to establish the Westfield Endowment Fund, Estridge said he has a strong partnership with the city. “The truth of the matter is this, our family foundation has given millions, millions, millions and millions of dollars into this community in the areas of homelessness, youth assistance, and the list goes on and on,” Estridge said. “And I don’t talk about it, but put in a corner like this, I suggest the APC do with this what is best for the community.”

Estridge said rumors that his company would flip the property aren’t true. “This is a … lie,” he said. “I have built over 10,000 homes and lots in my career, 60 years, never has our company ever flipped or sold.” APC member Robert Smith was unhappy with the proposal and planned to vote against it. “Promises are not in writing,” Smith said. “There should never be a plan approved that uses neighbors’ backyards as buffer space. I cannot comprehend how that could be a feasible approach to the planning.” APC member Scott Willis said he was voting yes because of certain economic driving factors. “I struggle with this one, and it took me a while,” Willis said. “The average price point is north of half a million and I struggle voting no, how do you vote no for that? That is revenue for the city.” Though certain verbal commitments were made, the city’s senior planner Kevin Todd said no additional changes were submitted before the meeting. APC member Ginny Kelleher said some of her concerns were addressed and others were not including the lot size. After close to 45 minutes of discussion, the APC voted 6-1 to forward the Davis PUD with a positive recommendation to the city council. Smith was the only dissenting vote, with APC member Chris Woodard recusing himself. The next APC meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 21 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

Government center delayed

PLEASE JOIN US

OPEN HOUSE

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com After a May 9 joint meeting between Hamilton County commissioners and the Hamilton County Council, the COUNTY county has decided to put the expansion of the government and judicial center in downtown Noblesville on hold. Bids for the project were higher than expected by approximately $300,000, prompting county leadership to delay the project. The Hamilton County Council approved funding for the $24 million-plus expansion in early April - $12 million from bonds, just over $1 million from the courthouse fund, and nearly $11 million from the county’s general fund. American Structurepoint, Inc. has been contracted to plan and design the expansion that would centrally house all Hamilton County government offices in the building. Currently, the offices of auditor, assessor, treasurer and recorder are in the old, historic courthouse in the center of the downtown Noblesville square. According to American Structurepoint, the expansion would make the space usable for

the next 25 years by adding 130,000 square feet to the existing layout, with added space on the lower level and a three-story upper shell and core floors. The current government and judicial center was built in 1992 and was projected at the time to fill the county’s needs for 20 years. Twenty-six years later, the commissioners and council agree more room is needed. Some parts of the project, including design, planning, utility relocation and more, are still ongoing.

Grate said the goal is to operate the WHS pool until fall of 2020, with a groundbreaking on the YMCA scheduled for spring 2019. Andy Wheeler, a 1968 Westfield High School graduate, said his family was excited about the program and partnering with WWS and the YMCA. “To put a Class A facility together (is) a wise use of taxpayer dollars,” he said. Westfield High School head swimming coach Derek Thomas said the new facility would create opportunities for a lot of different activities. “We view it as not only a competitive advantage but also a great opportunity for the community of Westfield,” he said. Westfield High School Athletic Director Bill Davis said the Wheeler family’s generosity is something that is a teachable moment for students “It is a great lesson for the kids,” he said. “This is a very generous situation we have here.” Grate said senior officials have begun to have conversations about what the non-binding agreement might look like once a memorandum of understanding is complete. “We can release designs and the next phase of that in three to four months, maybe sooner than that,” Grate said.

“We know instructional space at the high school is a premium” Grate said. “School administrators and architects have been exploring several aquatic centers in Indiana to prioritize future needs.”

Conner Prairie and Ritz Charles have announced a partnership for the creation of The Bluffs at Conner PARTNERSHIP Prairie – a $3 million investment to renovate and expand Eli Lilly’s historic Chinese House on the grounds of Conner Prairie. The Bluffs at Conner Prairie will serve as an event venue on the bluffs of the White River with occupancy for 250 people for events such as wedding ceremonies and receptions, social galas, corporate events and holiday parties. “The renovated Chinese House will provide guests a great connection to Conner Prairie’s past and a gateway to our future,” Conner Prairie President and CEO Norman Burns stated. “Visitors will get to experience Eli Lilly’s former retreat and his love for Chinese culture while having access to nature, views of the White River and a beautifully renovated space for their events. Revenue generated from this partnership and new space will allow Conner Prairie to continue providing unique and innovative experiences for our members and guests for years to come.” Ritz Charles will have exclusive operating rights to provide food and beverage services for the event venue. A majority of Ritz Charles’ funding supports the construction and renovation of The Bluffs at Conner Prairie. “We feel incredibly fortunate to partner with Conner Prairie on the renovation of Eli Lilly’s historic Chinese House,” Ritz Charles President and co-owner Bill Nicholls stated.

“When you combine the natural beauty of the land, the compelling history of the house and the new renovations we have in store, the new Chinese House will be a truly unique event space for weddings, receptions, corporate meetings and other special events.” The Bluffs will be enclosed with glass on three sides. Work should be complete by Jan. 31, 2019. The original Chinese House was built in 1907 by the Atkins family on land owned by William Conner. Lilly purchased the home in 1940, when he served as president of Eli Lilly and Company. He used the home as a family retreat. Lilly wrote in diaries that the ceilings of the Chinese House were painted with “gorgeous Chinese symbols.” Lilly also wrote, “On the dining room ceilings bloomed the twelve flowers of the months of the year.” He then added other Asian elements and furniture. Two Lilly doctors originally from China proposed a name for the house, “Shen Ho Shi,” which means “House of Sylvan Harmonies.” “With more than 115 combined years of providing positive customer experiences between Ritz Charles and Conner Prairie, this team looks forward to offering a new venue for Hoosiers and people from around the country alike to book special events,” Ritz Charles Vice President and co-owner Mark Safranek stated. Additional support for the project comes from Jay and Nancy Ricker, the founders of Ricker Oil Company, Inc.; a grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc.; and several other private donations.

APC holds four public hearings

Indianapolis

Top Dentist

Compiled by Noah Alatza • news@currentinwestfield.com Four public hearings were held by the Advisory Plan Commission at its May 7 meeting. The next APC meeting will be at 7 p.m. May 21 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov. What happened: The commission held a public hearing regarding a request to change zoning in the Wheeler Landing Planned Unit Development, which encompasses 321 acres at the northwest corner of Ind. 32 and Wheeler Road. What it means: The updated zoning would comprise a mixture of agriculture, single family and enclosed industrial. It also was announced that Westfield Washington Schools has signed a non-binding agreement to create a new YMCA on 10 acres at Wheeler Road and 181st Street. Nick Churchill spoke on behalf of the Wheeler family, which has lived on the ground in Westfield since 1870. He said dependent on several preconditions, including fundraising for the YMCA, ground breaking could be as early as spring 2019 and be completed in the fall of 2020.

“The family is very excited about this,” Churchill said. “It is right down the street from the schools and would add a muchneeded facility nearby.” EdgeRock Development owner and Managing Director Birch Dalton spoke at the hearing and said he is concerned about traffic flow at Wheeler Road and Ind. 32. “We are about to have a real royal mess up here if we don’t plan Ind. 32 and Wheeler,” Dalton said. “We don’t want this to be 96th and Keystone. I suggest the APC be well informed before you make a decision on what to allow here.”

What happened: A public hearing was held on Westfield-based IMMI plat review for two commercial lots totaling 39 acres. What it means: APC President Randy Graham recused himself from overseeing the hearing, handing the gavel to Vice President Andre Maue. The new districts would be used for industrial and local business. No one from the public spoke. What happened: A public hearing was held on the Landing at Monon Marketplace Planned Unit Development at the southwest corner of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32. What it means: A request was made to review the three lots on roughly nine acres of land. Detailed development for the new Big Woods restaurant is expected by the end of the month. What happened: The commission held a public hearing on the Setters Manor Planned Unit Development, a new subdivision for 12 single family homes. What it means: The 5 1/2-acre project would be zoned under medium density near the Setters Run subdivision on Westfield’s southern border just north of 146th Street. Five people spoke. Rebecca Ogle, representing the Setters Place Homeowners Association, said neighbors were concerned about traffic flow. “We have streets in a current state of desirable maintenance and construction and we wish our streets would be seamed, or better, after the construction of homes in the area,” she said. Ogle also noted the new subdivision could bring an additional 22 to 33 cars through the neighborhood, causing additional traffic congestion to access 146th Street. President of the Setters Run subdivision Carl Korbin said he had several concerns

about drainage. “Some of the data I received does give assurances, but I would like to see it in writing,” he said. “I want to have the time to resolve it.” Residents Leslie Moore and Tim Drudge were concerned with the tree buffer. Both said if anything significant was planned, more trees would need to be planted to accommodate their view. Resident David Usselman said the proposed neighborhood is nice and he does not have any concerns other than drainage The developer said drainage at the particular location moves west to east. He plans on proposing a separate storm pipe running along the common area and outletting to an existing manhole so rain water can no longer go to the existent basin.

Carey Tolan received 2,305 votes, or 55.61 percent, over Marla Ailor, who received 1,840 votes, or 44.39 Tolan percent. There were no Democratic candidates in that race. “I am thrilled with the election results …,” Carey Tolan said. “We worked extremely hard to inform voters on our accomplishments and our vision for the future.

Democrat Shelly Brown, also vying for a seat on the township board, ran unopposed in her primary. The three seats will be chosen in November.

MEMORIAL DAY MEMORIES Military families remember those lost, encourage citizens to celebrate correctly this month By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Tori Waters is the first to admit that prior to becoming a military wife, she didn’t understand the significance of Memorial Day. Now, she realizes the COVER STORY day’s true meaning. Waters, a 2013 Westfield High School graduate, is married to Blake Waters, also a 2013 WHS grad and member of the U.S. Air Force. Blake is on deployment, so Waters will celebrate Memorial Day, May 28, without her husband. “I’ll be the one to admit I didn’t really think about Memorial Day as much as I should have when I wasn’t in the position I am now,” she said. “But being in the position I am in now, this needs to be so much more understood. It’s a holiday that kind of gets looked past, and that’s really not OK.” Waters lives near the Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico. “Our base does a really good job of trying to take that day and turn it into complete remembrance,” Waters said. “(Memorial Day) gets swept under the rug for our generation. I don’t feel like people understand it as well as it needs to be understood. I know a lot of our generation is, people mix up Veterans Day and Memorial Day. People don’t understand that Veterans Day and Memorial Day are completely different.” In addition to marrying an active duty airman, Waters said another event has sharpened her understanding of Memorial Day. A little more than a year ago, a plane crashed

CELEBRATE MEMORIAL DAY The fifth annual Grand Run, which features a kids’ run, a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon, will take place on Memorial Day, May 28. Participants will run through Grand Park trails and around fields. Half marathon participants also will run a portion of the Monon Trail and through Asa Bales Park. A Memorial Day ceremony will take place prior to the run with a speaker from the Hoosier Veterans Association Foundation and a national anthem performance. For more, visit westfieldwelcome.com.

during a training exercise at the base, killing the three airmen inside. “What really changed my perspective was that plane crash and seeing everything unfold before Memorial Day (last year),” Waters said. “The plane that crashed is the same plane Blake flies on. This day has a whole new meaning for me after being through all of that.” Don Day, a 1946 WHS grad, was drafted into the U.S. Army in January 1951 and served until December 1952. He remembers coming home from serving and celebrating Memorial Day with the local American Legion.

“I can remember when the American Legion put small flags out down at the cemetery on the graves of all the deceased soldiers,” Day said. “Then, they eventually put up a flagpole there, and they would have Memorial Day services and speak. They would read off the names of all the deceased veterans that were buried in the cemetery.” Day said it’s unfortunate some younger generations don’t recognize the importance of Memorial Day. “I don’t know how we can get (the younger) generations to be more interested in it,”

said Day, a member of the American Legion Post 318. “I encourage them not to lose the true meaning of it.” Although Waters will celebrate the day without her husband at home, she said she plans to meet up with some of the other military wives that day. “Personally, I am planning on spending that day with my military wife friends, and we talked about going to the base,” she said. “Since we are more of a military community, there’s more that goes on that weekend and more coming together and actually remembering those who died.”

“I DON’T KNOW HOW WE CAN GET (THE YOUNGER) GENERATIONS TO BE MORE INTERESTED IN IT. I ENCOURAGE THEM NOT TO LOSE THE TRUE MEANING OF IT.”

- Don Day, a veteran and a member of the American Legion Post 318.

O B S E R V AT I O N Just what we need

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Mick Jagger famously reminded us that “You can’t always get what you want.” The catchy pop tune penned by Jagger and his longtime collaborator Keith Richards reinforces a simple point, one that should have been committed firmly into our collective psyche by early adulthood yet manages to elude us even decades later. Life, it seems, is filled with unrequited hopes and desires. We balance competing priorities, often spanning extreme poles, always living in compromise. Our desire to enjoy a placid domestic life stands in contrast to our fantasy of following Hemingway to an endless sea of adventure. Few of us can afford to drive a monster truck, exotic sports car, custom classic and stylish sedan – we have to pick one, or maybe, if we are lucky, two, and go with it. As the years pass, we settle comfortably into our choices. Still, can we hope to reconcile our imagined lives with the ones that we are actually living? Can the fantasy compete with the reality? What if The Rolling Stones had asserted “You don’t always want what you get” instead of positing their now-famous musing? Many of us must wonder if we are in command of our own expectations sufficiently to unequivocally know what it is that we want. Would it be more honest to admit that we too often wait for life to deliver itself to us – and then we react to it. If ours is an existence of abundant compromise, should we embrace the choices we’ve made or, instead, live in eternal regret over the paths not taken? Or, do we ultimately find that life gives us just what we need?

Current erred on candidate listings To our readers: A number of you pointed out, quite correctly, that our pre-election coverage in the May 8 editions of Current was missing candidate information. It was not an effort to exclude any candidate or candidates. Instead, we unfortunately dropped the ball on the news-gathering

front, and for that we sincerely apologize. In the aftermath of the errors, we have put in place a refreshed system to ensure all candidates’ information is included for every election, as had been the case since Current was launched in 2006.

READER’S VIEW The case for Girl Scouts Editor, At Girl Scouts, we know girls are the key to our future. Gender balance is vital in ensuring that every voice is heard and every outlook is considered. One of the best things we can do to ensure the longterm strength of the United States is to invest in girls. Women bring an invaluable perspective to careers in places like the courtroom, the science lab and the caucus room. The United States government is comprised of a significant number of Girl Scout alum. In fact, 76 percent of senators, 57 percent of representatives and 100 percent of secretaries of state were Girl Scouts, while 90 percent of all women astronauts and 80 percent of women tech leaders are Girl Scout alum. Girl Scouts is the best leadership ex-

perience for girls. Girl Scouts are emboldened to travel to destinations near and far and encouraged to pursue outdoor adventures from camping to whitewater rafting. Research shows that girls learn best in an all-girl, girl-led and girl-friendly environment where their specific needs are addressed and met. Our program bolsters the benefits of school curriculum by fostering a safe, inclusive environment where girls gain hands-on skills, including STEM activities, and take on leadership positions. In fact, the all-girl environment is one of the major keys to our success. Visit girlscoutsindiana.org to learn more about the one-of-a-kind leadership development program.

My baby is home from college! For the next 102 days. I know because I checked. And I may or may not have started a secret countdown to his departure in HUMOR August. It’s not that we don’t love our oldest, who just completed his freshman year at IU. He’s generally kind and funny and interesting to talk to. But we’ve gotten so used to not having him around that when he returns, everything seems out of whack. For starters, he uses a lot of space, both physically and audibly. He’s 6-foot-3 and loud, and mostly unaware of either. On the car ride home, my youngest commented on his incredible ability to hijack the minivan with his person and stream-of-consciousness-like chatter: “Mom, I can’t get away from him! Every time I turn up the music, he purposely raises his voice.” To fuel that large frame and chattyCathyness, our oldest consumes millions of calories a day. I’d reduced my major Meijer runs to once a week, but we are already out of milk, bread and Kraft products. He’s been here less than 24 hours. Sweet mercy, our grocery bills are going to take a major hit. And finally, though it doesn’t sound like a big deal to reduce a family of six by one teenager, it is. We enjoyed an entire school year of one less kid to keep track of and lose sleep over. Now that he’s back in sight, he’s unfortunately back in mind. And I’m not prepared to worry about four children again! My baby is home from college for a 102 days. Wish me luck. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

O brother, where were thou? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My column a few weeks ago was about a longtime friend. Now 92, Keith Bratton lives in a retirement community in HUMOR Fishers. I recounted some of his unique inventions over the years, like a urinal splash guard with Osama Bin Laden’s photo. Current in Fishers ran the article as a front-page feature. The column was posted on a Facebook page viewed by Sarah Erdman, the daughter of Ron Bratton of Fort Wayne. Sarah forwarded the article to her dad, wondering if Keith might be a relative. When Ron read about Keith, he was pretty sure this was his long-lost half-sibling. He had never previously mentioned Keith to his family. It had been 68 years since they last saw each other, if they had ever met at all. Keith’s mother passed away when Keith was about 24. His father remarried, and Ron was the offspring from that relationship. The more than two-decade gap in age, coupled with Keith’s entry into the Army, resulted in a subsequent failure to connect. Ron was planning a trip to Indy and included a stop at Keith’s senior community. Ron approached the front desk and asked if

there was a Keith Bratton living there. The receptionist was appropriately cautious. “Are you a relative?” she asked. “I think I may be his half-brother,” said Ron, which sounded a little suspicious. However, Ron was allowed entrance. Keith was told he had a visitor, but no other clues were given about the mystery guest. Ron introduced himself, revealing their relationship. Keith responded with a zinger: “What took you so long?” As they reminisced, the phone rang. It was Keith’s daughter, Kim, who lives in Florida. “So, what are you doing?” she asked. “Visiting with my half-brother.” “I didn’t know you had a half-brother!” As I interviewed Keith for this story, I asked how sure he was this whole thing wasn’t a scam. Then, I got a befitting wisecrack from him: “Why would anyone admit to being my brother … if it weren’t true?”

WMS team fundraises for student By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Middle School track and field team raised $500 April 26 during its “Hope & Dye” fundraiser. EVENT The events were planned to help 11-year-old fourth-grader Brady Sterchi, who suffers from the incurable mitochondrial disease, which prevents mitochondria from completely burning food and generating oxygen. Sterchi, who attends Washington Woods Elementary, only had a life expectancy of 10 years. His daily regimen consists of four tube feedings and medications. Diagnosed before age 2, Brady’s symptoms include issues with motor control, sensory, swallowing, growth, vomiting, respiratory, developmental delays and susceptibility to illnesses. Sterchi’s sister, Haylee is a seventhgrader at Westfield Middle School and runs on the track team. Eighth-grade wellness teacher and head girls track coach Amy Abriani said after Haylee shared her story in her health class, it prompted a response from the community. “Basically, this shows me what I already knew about our students,” she said. “The community is highly empathic and ready to step up when people need help or are asking for help.” Abriaini said community generosity is not surprising, with the event nearly doubling in the last three years’. She said the event typically only draws 30-50 athletes. This year’s drew 110. “We plan on continuing it,” she said. “The kids are awesome, generous, kind and always seek out ways to help others in need.” Abriani said the tie-dye event did not

originally start as a fundraiser, it was more of a bonding activity. It has since grown into a fundraising event. Abriani said leftover supplies are donated to charities, including Relay for Life. “This year we thought maybe we could help somebody closer to us,” Abriani said. “The end goal is helping our family find a cure.” Sterchi’s mother Jamie said it is important to raise awareness because without funding, there is no research, and ultimately no cure. “It has been amazing. We just moved here in October and we came from a huge support system,” she said. “I never thought we would find a support system here.” In the last nine years, more than $100,000 through the Mitochondrial Disease Association has been raised through walks and 5K races, according to Sterchi. For every $7 fee at the event, $2 went to the Brady Research Fund to find a cure. Donations are still welcome at classy.org/ campaign/research-fund-brady-sterchi/ c130958.

Miller to bring standup routine to The Palladium By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dennis Miller is a man of many mediums. Right now, Miller is doCOMEDY ing two weekly PodcastOne shows, a weekly TV appearance, and a syndicated twice-daily radio spot called the “Miller Minute.” On top of that, Miller, 64, is on a standup comedy tour, which includes an 8 p.m. stop at The Palladium in Carmel May 18. “I started a sports podcast three months ago and I got people (who) say they like the podcast but I don’t like sports,” Miller said. “So, the guy asked me if I want do the events. I’m learning even if it’s a stream-of-consciousness you have to provide some structure to it. I lack the structure now but I’m working on it.” Miller, who had his own talk show for several years, has weekly appearances on “Kennedy” on Fox Business Channel. Miller, a conservative, previously was a regular contributor on Bill O’Reilly’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” “I just go on because she (Lisa Kennedy Montgomery) makes me laugh,” Miller said. “When O’Reilly got fired and that went away, I wasn’t hearing any other calls from anybody else on Fox, so I’ll go on ‘Kennedy.’” Miller rose to prominence as an acerbic anchor for “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live” from 1985 to 1991. The standup tour is in advance of a TV comedy special for a producer, who plans to syndicate it. “I’ve worked it out in an hour and 10 minutes,” Miller said of his routine. “I got to prune 10 minutes for the special but it’s not a lab rat situation. I got it down.” It won’t all be political. “Two-thirds of it is just jokes I want the audience to get belly laughs out of,” Miller said. “But once you’ve done ‘Weekend Update,’ you have to pay some attention to current events, and that’s what people have come to know you for. So, two-thirds is about making them laugh about the world we live in and one-third is about the current political times. If you live in times when you have (President Donald) Trump

and (Nancy) Pelosi and you’re not going up on stage and commenting on that, I think even clowns in the circus are doing jokes on that now.” After taking a break from Twitter for two-plus years, Miller uses Twitter to gauge how some jokes fare. “I put up a joke a few weeks ago about Trump coming to California and he was booed, and, quite frankly, for Trump to be received warmly in California, he’d have to come in illegally,” Miller said. “I got like 58,000 likes. At that point you can tell you got a good joke. I do think Twitter gives you a once-removed idea if something is a good joke or not. Again, it’s tough to gauge because the country is so polarized now, some people wouldn’t laugh at

anything.” Miller came to Indianapolis a few times to see the Indy 500 with his late friend Andy Granatelli, a legendary car owner. The comedian also visited during his stint as a “Monday Night Football” color commentator in 2000 and 2001. Miller said the first year, 40 percent might have liked him on MNF and 60 percent hated it. “Over two years I think I got it up to the mean line, which I considered a success,” Miller said. In addition to his TV talk shows, Miller had a syndicated radio show from 2007 to 2015. “Eight years and three hours a day for five days a week, I was talked out,” Miller said. “I was sick of me.”

Ruins of Devin Castle, near Bratislava, Slovakia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Maiden Tower at Devin Castle Commentary by Don Knebel Devin Castle, a few miles from Bratislava, Slovakia, provides a spectacular view of the Danube River Valley. Its TRAVEL popularity is enhanced by a romantic legend about an ancient tower. In the first century, the Danube River formed part of the northern border of the Roman Empire. To keep watch on the Germanic tribes across the river, the Romans built a tower atop a 650-foot cliff above where the Morava River flows into the Danube. In the ninth century, the Great Moravia, formed by uniting Slavonic tribes, built a castle on the site to protect its western border from the Germanic tribes that had overrun the Roman Empire. In the 13th century, the Kingdom of Hungary, which had taken over the territory of Great Moravia, expanded the castle to protect its western border from what was becoming known as Germany. Additional stone buildings, including a palace, were erected on the site, and the complex became known as Devin Castle. In 1809, after defeating Austrian forces in

the nearby Battle of Wagram, Napoleon ordered the destruction of Devin Castle as a part of his strategy of neutralizing potential threats. During the Cold War era, the area surrounding Devin Castle was lined with barbed wire to prevent residents of Czechoslovakia from escaping to Austria. An octagonal tower, perched on a rock below Devin Castle, is named Maiden Tower after a story about an unnamed king who held his virgin daughter in the tower to separate her from her lover. Despondent, she leapt from the tower to her death. The Maiden Tower is an important symbol of Slovakian heritage and was featured on Slovak coins until Slovakia adopted the euro. The ruins of Devin Castle and Maiden Tower, with their network of intersecting walkways, are among the most popular and most photographed sites in Slovakia. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.

The month of May in Indianapolis is a wonder to behold. It’s time to converge on Indycar’s most GRAMMAR GUY hallowed site, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and people can’t wait to hear the most famous words in racing: “Drivers, start your engines.” For years, we heard “Gentlemen, start your engines,” as every driver who qualified was male. But when Janet Guthrie became the first woman to qualify for the Indy 500 in 1977, the starting command became “In company with the first lady ever to qualify at Indianapolis, gentlemen, start your engines.” As that was (at best) an awkward sentence to utter, the next year (when Guthrie again qualified), the command was modified to “Lady and gentlemen, start your engines.” As more female drivers have qualified over the years, the wording for the starting command has changed. And in 2017, IndyCar and NASCAR settled on this phrase for all races: “Drivers, start your engines.” I like this change. It mirrors official

changes that have become acceptable in English usage. For instance, last year the AP Stylebook made a significant rule change, adding “they” as an acceptable singular pronoun. According to the AP, “They/them/their is acceptable in limited cases as a singular and-or gender-neutral pronoun, when alternative wording is overly awkward or clumsy.” So, according to the AP, clarity is key here, primarily because the word “they” has always served strictly as a plural pronoun. But, as newer, experimental gender-neutral pronouns like “xe” and “ze” haven’t yet gained popular adoption or garnered widespread awareness, “they” is acceptable, as long as it’s clear to whom the writer is referring. As culture and language drive each other forward, rules change. Regardless of who takes the checkered flag for this year’s 500, my son and I will be cheering for a good race with clean passes and no crashes. Curtis Honeycutt is a freelance humor writer.
