WWS Supt. Grate seeks community engagement

DISPATCHES

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Sherry Grate encouraged community members to engage with the schools on many SCHOOLS levels. “When we think about meeting our vision and mission, we can’t do it alone,” Grate said during a Sept. 20 State of the Schools talk at a Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon at The Bridgewater Club in Westfield. “It takes each and every one of us working together to make the best education opportunities.” Grate challenged audience members on how they can meet the needs of students socially, emotionally and academically. “The way our kids are going to meet the graduation requirements is changing,” Grate said. “This is starting with students in eighth grade, so we are creating what are called graduation pathways. The first part is the high school diploma. This will not be very different from what we’ve had in the past as far as (different diplomas). It’s meeting all the requirements we would have for graduation. The second component has to do with employability skills. Students will have to demonstrate work through project-based learning, work-based learning or service-based learning, so we’re defining what those look like.” Grate said students have to demonstrate post-secondary readiness by taking entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT. Keeping up with the ever-changing role of technology is another priority. “Students are learning faster than we are and we have to keep up,” Grate said. “It’s really about preparing students for their future, not what we experienced when we went to school.” Grate said if there is a day school has to be canceled because of inclement weather, students will be able to make up that day with e-learning. Because not all students have access to broadband at home, the district is looking for business partners who would display a 4-inch by 4-inch window cling that signifies it has partnered with the schools. “We are looking for a safe place where students can do their work and use a Wi-Fi network and do their homework,” Grate said. Those interested in partnering with the schools should contact Dan Brita, technology director for Westfield Washington Schools at britad@wws.k12.in.us. In addition, the schools launched Parent University before the school year began.

“We are trying to create a system that supports our families as they navigate a Kthrough-12 learning experience,” Grate said. “Through our breakout sessions, we learned there are a lot of things that parents want to know more about.” Grate said the school district has a podcast every week, “Inside the Rock,” which can be found in the App Store. There is a Westfield Washington Schools app now, as well. Grate said city leaders and school officials began having conversations about students’ mental well-being. “There are three other areas coming to surface when we talk about the mental health and well-being of our students that we need to rally around,” Grate said. “First, we need to be aware that there are challenges that our students are facing today that go beyond hunger, that go beyond whether they can complete their homework, get an A in class, how many (Advanced Placement) classes they can take. We know we need to be advocates to support our students in regards to mental well-being and, finally, we need access to care because we know that is a challenge. That’s something we are trying to help our children navigate.” On the subject of school safety, there needs to be a multi-faceted approach, Grate said “It starts with building relationships with our students and really understanding who they are,” she said. The Westfield Police Dept. has worked to create relationships in the schools. Two new resource officers have joined the district and one will have an explosives-sniffing canine. Grate said the district has received handheld metal detectors from a state program. “We are waiting on guidance on how those will be utilized,” Grate said. “There will be more updates to come on the use of those.”

Homes in the city sold in an average of 38 days, 11.6 percent faster than August last year. Civil War Roundtable — David Powell will present the Battle of Chickamauga at 7 p.m. at the Oct. 10 meeting of the Hamilton County Civil War Roundtable at Carmel City Hall, 1 Civic Square.

Author to discuss new Crazy Horse book By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com During the 142 years since the Battle of Little Bighorn, countless volumes have been written about the infamous EVENT bloodbath, better known to history as “Custer’s Last Stand.” Next to none of the accounts contain firsthand perspective from Native Americans. Documentary filmmaker William Matson discovered that fact when he set out to write a contemporary account of the 1876 armed clash between the U.S. 7th Cavalry, commanded by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, and a coalition of Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors, led by, among other prominent chiefs, Oglala Lakota war leader Crazy Horse. The Native Americans won a decisive victory by killing Custer and 268 of his troopers. While searching for Plains Indians’ accounts of the battle, and for details of Crazy Horse’s life in particular, Matson quickly discovered why retellings are largely onesided: For decades, only one side has publicly talked about any of it. Until now. His 2016 book, “Crazy Horse: The Lakota Warrior’s Life & Legacy,” is, as the title

implies, an oral history of the life of Crazy Horse as told to him by family members of Crazy Horse’s late nephew, Edwin Clown. The occasion, according to Matson, marks the first time anyone inside the Lakota nation has publicly discussed Crazy Horse’s

life or the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. “Crazy Horse and the Lakota people never fully engaged in our society, even though many of us think they did,” Matson said. “They ended up taking vows of silence and now is the truth coming out.” Matson, a resident of Spearfish, S.D., and Lakota elder and Crazy Horse relative Floyd Clown Sr., who lives in Dupree, S.D. on the Cheyenne River Reservation, will discuss the book and conduct a signing from noon to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Barnes & Noble in Westfield, 14790 Greyhound Plaza. The appearance will be the 169th for Matson and Clown Sr. as they travel the U.S. and Europe discussing the life of Crazy Horse, who was killed in 1877 by a guard while trying to surrender to the U.S. Army at Fort Robinson, Neb. Controversy has clouded his death, characterized by some as an assassination, ever since. “He had a vision that his own people and the soldiers were going to kill him 15 months before it happened, yet he still did what he did for his people,” Matson said. “Completely selfless.” The discussion and book signing event is free and open to the public.

History in the making Wheeler family recognized for 150-years of farming

The farm at 181st Street and Wheeler Road was deeded to the Wheeler family in 1851. (Photo by Daniel Nolan)

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A well-known family whose ancestors lived in the Town of Westfield when it was created recently was recognized at a ceremony during the Indianapolis COVER STORY State Fair in Indianapolis. Dave Weiss, former owner of Westfield Pharmacy, compiled a decade of research to apply for two Hoosier Homestead Awards, which he presented to his mother-in-law, Mary Lou Day, on Mother’s Day. The awards, a centennial and a sesquicentennial, recognize the Wheeler farm as being owned by the same family for 150 years. Day, whose maiden name is Wheeler, was born in the original Wheeler house on 181st Street and Wheeler Road, where Dave and his wife, Becky, Day’s daughter, live. Weiss began doing research for the award approximately 10 years ago, but he went at it full-bore when he retired from the pharmacy last year. “I’m a history buff,” he said. “When I went to the courthouse (for documents), I was looking for (data for) the hundred, the centennial award.” However, as Weiss dug deeper into his in-laws’ history, he realized the farm also was eligible for the 150-year award. “I knew that Joseph Benjamin Wheeler received the property from the original Joseph and Delilah Wheeler, but that was 1867,” Weiss said. “I wanted to go back further and see how far back did it go. That’s where I found that Joseph purchased it from Jonathan Mendenhall.” The farm was originally deeded to the Wheeler family on Oct. 4, 1851. The original plat was 80 acres. It is much larger than that today, spanning hundreds of acres. Weiss said he assumed the Wheeler family farmed corn and grains, but eventually a dairy farm began operation until the mid-1980s.

The Wheeler house where the Weisses currently reside was built in the late 1800s. Weiss said, as a history buff, he also loves antiques. Many aspects of the house remain the same today. “The logs in the basement have bark on them,” he said. “It still has some of the original components. The basement and construction are original.”

Approximately 25 years ago, the Weisses renovated the home. To qualify for the Hoosier Homestead Award Program, farms must be at least 20 acres and owned by the same family for 100, 150 or 200 years. If farms are less than 20 acres, they must gross at least $1,000 a year in profits. Weiss compiled all the information and presented it to Day on Mother’s Day. “I was so surprised and so happy because I had never taken the time to do it,” she said. Day said the Wheelers practice many of the same family traditions from when she was a child. “All the Wheelers gathered here on Christmas Eve, and the dining room was full, the kitchen was full and us kids had to sit on the stairsteps,” she said. “Christmas presents would be halfway to the middle of the living room floor, and we always had oyster stew and sandwiches.” Today, Weiss said a lot of family meals still are served at the house. Weiss said he plans to create a display with posts holding the signs and a flower bed in his front yard and in the Days’ front yard, where he can display the awards, which are two metal signs. The blue sign indicates the farm has operated by the same family for more than 100 years, and the green sign indicates the farm has operated by the same family for 150 years. “You don’t see a lot of the 150s. You see a lot of the blue ones, but you don’t see a lot of the green,” Weiss said. “I think it’s important that people know the reason behind Wheeler Road. Joseph Wheeler is the reason behind Wheeler Road. That road that came up from (Ind.) 32 was the Wheeler Road because that’s where the Wheelers lived.” Other well-known local residents who are Wheeler descendends include Paul Lindley, Craig Wood, Helen Bray, and Kevin and Ann Day of Day Furs in Carmel.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After much discussion regarding an unsigned development agreement between the City of Westfield DEVELOPMENT and the developers of the Wheeler Landing planned unit development, the Westfield City Council approved the project, 5-1. The PUD will include four commercial and mixed-use areas, including a proposed YMCA. The project was approved during the Sept. 24 council meeting on the condition that the agreement be signed by the City of Westfield and the project developer. The development agreement was discussed at a previous council meeting and states the project will include an expansion to Oak Ridge Road and Tournament Trail to accommodate the expected traffic increase. The expansions would be built at no cost to the city. “I have a bit of a concern on a project this expansive,” council member Chuck Lehman said. “It’s probably one of the biggest that’s come along and I don’t think a PUD of this magnitude should have a contingency next to it.” Lehman initially said he wouldn’t approve the project unless the development agreement had been signed. But he did vote to approve. Council members discussed tabling the proposal until the next council meeting, but because the Advisory Plan Commission forwarded the project with a favorable recommendation at its July 2 meeting, the council only had 90 days to act on the project or it would move forward regardless. Because

the APC forwarded the recommendation without the development agreement detailing the expansion of the two roads, the council either had to act or hold a special meeting before the time limit expired in order to include the development agreement with the proposal. During council discussion, Westfield City Council President Jim Ake said the developers would meet a requirement important to everyone involved. “I would like to remind everyone when we started on this path, one of the conditions council looked at and was wanting to require is that Oak Ridge Road be extended to handle additional traffic, and Tournament Trail would be extended at no cost to the city,” he said. “Once the development agreement is signed, they have filled a requirement that is very important to all of us in that regard. From this standpoint, I think everyone’s worked really hard together to get to that part, so with the contingency, I’m very comfortable moving forward.” Council member Mark Keen voted in favor but he said in the future he wants developments to come before council to allow enough time for the council to digest what the APC recommends. “It would be nice in future developments, when future actions come before us, if the 90-day clock isn’t ticking to the point (it is now),” Keen said. “So, if something unforeseen comes up, we have time to process that and it go back before us.” Joe Edwards cast the only no vote on the six-member council, citing concerns over traffic flow the development could bring.

On origins

Hoping new restaurant is here to stay

Commentary by Terry Anker We use them every day, these aphorisms. Old sayings and collective shorthand keep our conversations moving and meanings clear. Still, we so often forget from where they hail. We can use our favorite search engine to inquire as to the expression’s etymology, yet to rely blindly on a single entry can be foolish. We are required to surf from site to site seeking some intellectual satisfaction that each appearance is not a simple duplication of another. The maxims themselves suffer from the same echo. Modern speakers will sample the words and concepts from earlier generations and co-opt them as their own, so the able-word historian will push back ever further looking for an accurate origin point. Many are found rooted in the Bible. Much of our collective literary and oratory memory commences there. But others can be directly or loosely traced to the earliest scrolls, clay tablets or hieroglyphs, leaving one to wonder if much of human thought has been consistent from our genesis. It suggests, in part, that our thinking has been conscientiously, and unconscientiously, formed by all that we’ve heard or read – and perhaps by all that’s been heard or read by everyone that we’ve heard or read. Is the collection of human wisdom a thread rather than an evolution? Or, do we legitimately process information and ideas anew with each subsequent presentation to fresh generations? Among the many adages with foggy attributions is an old favorite: Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand. Perhaps it doesn’t matter who gets the acclaim as long as the concepts are urged to persist. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, My husband and I had a rare Friday date night last week, and we decided to take a chance on the new Loren and Mari’s Mexican Grill just west of 116th Street and Keystone Parkway. We are so glad we did! The service was honestly outstanding, and the food was delicious. There was a wide variety of options on the menu, and the restaurant was clean and fresh. I mentioned to our waitress how delicious the chips were, and found out they are actually made in-house. How great is that? Though we went without the family this time, we are already looking forward to our next visit and plan to bring the kids. I hope Loren and Mari’s is here to stay! Jen Lis, Carmel

Hitting all the wrong notes Commentary by Danielle Wilson I learned something about myself this week, people: I am terrible at karaoke. I know! It came as a surprise HUMOR to me, too, but it turns out I only know the words to about seven songs, and anything by Cyndi Lauper is too high for my vocal range. Granted, I have no vocal range, nor can I really sing. Usually, what I lack in talent I make up for in showmanship and pure enthusiasm. But this past Friday, while launching the new “Passing Period Karaoke” initiative in the social studies hallway where I teach (we are in a quasi-competition with science over which department is more fun), I learned even rock-solid rhythm and superb snapping can’t save someone from the embarrassment of belting out the wrong line or mumbling through a forgotten chorus as a throng of confused but highly entertained teens captures every moment

on social media. Luckily, I wasn’t alone. Several other teachers, including younger, hipper ones, struggled to accurately sing along to Billy Joel, Neil Diamond and the Village People. We did a pretty good job with “My Girl” and the national anthem, but other than those we couldn’t find an appropriate song that everyone knew. Of course, later, as I rehashed my missed opportunity for internet fame, I came up with several that I would have nailed, including but not limited to, “Let It Go” from “Frozen,” and the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way.” Also, anything from “The Sound of Music,” though Broadway doesn’t generally play well with the under-20 crowds. Peace out.

Paying extra lip service Commentary by Dick Wolfsie In an article I recently read, no experts are quoted. There is no scientific polling, no international study referHUMOR enced. But the people from a well-known breath mint/gum company claim the average person spends 20,000 minutes in his or her lifetime kissing. Your smooching may vary, depending on whether you attend a lot of Greek weddings or have more than 15 grandchildren. I’m not an overly competitive person, but I do believe in keeping up with Joneses, who, by the way, are our newlywed neighbors down the street. The Fettermans next door, married 40 years, might represent a more realistic goal for me. I’d been doing OK until now, but I’m going to increase my output, so my obit can read: “Exceeded the standard kissing time by 2,000 minutes.” When it comes to lips, I can put two and two together. When Mary Ellen came home the other night, I gave her the customary hello smooch, but I lingered a few seconds longer in the osculation. Osculation is the scientific term for kissing. Don’t use that word during romantic encounters. It’ll have a negative

impact on your lifetime total. My wife became instantly aware that I had breached the unwritten rule for time spent on the customary, “Hi, honey, I’m home” kiss. “What was that all about?” she asked. “You were lingering on my cheek. You do know it’s only Thursday?” It’s bad enough I’m newly obsessed with maintaining a respectable record in the puckering department, but apparently a slew of other situations exist when my breath should be pristine. Now, there’s something to chew on. Which is exactly what the gum company says: “Hey, we sell something to chew on.” In order for my wife and me to someday surpass the national average, I’m going to need her full cooperation. Last night, I told Mary Ellen how beautiful she is and how great dinner was, but I still don’t think I have a chance of reaching that 20,000 mark. Apparently, kissing up doesn’t count.

Eyeing the myopia epidemic

Commentary by Dr. Matthew Clark

It is estimated that by 2050, more than half of the world’s population will be myopic, or nearsighted. In EYE HEALTH Asia, the numbers are more astonishing, as a study of South Korean 19-year-olds found that 96.5 percent of these teens were nearsighted. The main cause of myopia is genetics. However, with a trend like this, there must be something else at play. You guessed it: digital devices. While genetics set the potential for nearsightedness, the endpoint is highly related to environment. Phones and tablets are only becoming more prevalent in school, after school and socially. It is likely that the prevalence of myopia will continue to rise as well. So, what can we do about it? Although we may not be able to prevent a child from becoming nearsighted, the goal is to keep them from becoming so myopic that they develop a higher risk of retinal complications. The goal is to keep it at bay so that they can hang around the house without glasses on or make it to the bathroom at night without feeling around the bedside ta-

ble for their specs. To throttle this progression, there are two contact lens options to discuss with your eye-care provider. • Multifocal soft contact lenses – These lenses, called distance-centered multifocals, are the same lenses many adults wear in their 40s. The lenses work by relieving some of the focusing stress on the eyes when reading or looking at devices. These lenses have been shown to reduce myopia progression by up to 40 percent. • Orthokeratology – Ortho K is the use of hard lenses worn at night to reshape the cornea. In the morning the lenses are removed and vision is clear throughout the day. A 2017 study showed that this practice may reduce myopia progression by as much as half. If you and your spouse both start each day with glasses or contacts, and you suspect your child is headed for a similar fate, discuss these options with your eye doctor. Dr. Matthew Clark, O.D., practices at Carmel Eyecare. For more, email him at mclark@ carmeleyecare.com.

Remember When Staying Fit Was Child’s Play? Remember when staying fit was child’s play – freeze tag, kick the can, and stickball? We played with our friends and neighbors - it was social and fun. Now you can exercise in a place that embodies these childhood memories. Motion 4 Life Fitness is a hidden jewel on the Westfield Carmel border, just north of 146th Street on Gray Road. It was easy as kids to get our daily dose of exercise. We didn’t have to know what to do, we just played. At Motion 4 Life, you don’t need to know anything about fitness. Our highly trained staff creates a safe, appropriate, and individualized workout program for each member. Dave Stewart, Director of Personal Training states, “Our members range in age from their thirties to their eighties, have different body types, mobility limitations, medical conditions and fitness ability.” Barb, an M4L member says, “One day about six months ago, I received a card in the mail about a gym geared toward 45+. That card and M4L were an answer to prayer – a place for an out of shape 70 year old. I’ve been at it for five months now and have gained both balance and endurance thanks to the great staff at M4L.”

As one member says, “Motion 4 Life is my own personal CHEERS.” Stop by for a tour, cup of coffee and conversation.

“Motion 4 Life has been a godsend for me. As a retired nurse, I knew the importance of exercise but was not consistent exercising. Working now with a personal trainer has been fantastic. I definitely have seen improvements. They utilize a fitness plan suited to you. Would highly recommend to anyone!” Marilynn

Heartland Film Festival features executive producer Pauszek’s documentary ‘Grateful’ By Renee Larr editorial@youarecurrent.com “Grateful” is a 17-minute documentary that tells the story of Jenni Berebitsky, who is battling ALS. She was diin March 2009 and was FILM agnosed given 18 to 24 months to live. The film explores her passion for living in the face of insurmountable odds. The film was screened in July at the Indy Shorts International Film Festival Presented by Heartland International Film Festival. The documentary won the Audience Choice Award presented by Indiana Spotlight. “That’s the most prestigious award because it tells the film industry that our film was chosen by the audience,” said Executive Producer/Producer Amy Pauszek, whose Where’s Amy photo column appears in Current publications. The film was screened at the Sept. 27-29 Circle City Film Festival. “Jenni’s story will warm your heart while teaching us to live an engaging, productive and meaningful life,” Pauszek said. “I promise you will leave this film with tears of love, hope, inspiration and laughter. It’s uplifting and will change your outlook on life and those you love.” “Grateful” also will be shown in the Indy Shorts Winners Program No. 1 at the Oct. 11-21 Heartland International Film Festival. “We’re so excited because it’s such a prestigious festival to be in,” Pauszek said. “‘Grateful’ is a must-see film for everyone at the 2018 Heartland International Film Festival.” Pauszek, a Geist resident, plans to submit the film to additional film festivals. “We’ve sent it off to others and we’re hoping to get into more,” she said. “People really love it. This film will help anyone who has experienced ALS or any type of life-threatening illness. It shows there is hope, and through family and friends anybody can get through these obstacles.” The “Grateful” screenings are at noon Oct. 14 at AMC Castleton Square 14; 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1 at AMC Showplace Traders Point

MashCraft Fishers is a relatively new brewery that offers a menu from 5280 Bistro. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

MashCraft Fishers

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 11069 Allisonville Rd, Fishers. What to get: Fish tacos Price: $8 Anna’s take: MashCraft Fishers is a relatively new brewery that opened in winter 2017. It also has locations in Greenwood and downtown Indianapolis, but the Fishers location is the first to feature a full menu. The menu is created by 5280 Bistro, a popular food truck in Fishers. I kicked off my experience by tasting the Bavarian Style Soft Pretzel paired with MashCraft’s own garlic beer cheese, or queso blanco. The pretzel was doughy, buttery, dusted with salt and, because of its size, easily shareable. For

my main course, I opted for the fish tacos: two soft corn tortillas filled with grilled and blackened whitefish with a crunchy slaw. A spicy poblano crema is drizzled on top along with a healthy serving of cilantro. Potato chips are served on the side. The items on MashCraft Fishers’ menu are not typically found on the food truck menu, so it allows for some diversity. Suggested pairings: For the more seasoned beer drinkers, pair the fish tacos with MashCraft’s Last Light Blood Orange IPA, which has a citrus note on the front end that pairs nicely with the fish. The citrus is balanced by the hops. For lighter beer drinks, opt for MashCraft’s Gold American Blonde Ale. It’s not as hoppy and is a refreshing beverage to pair with the meals.

Behind bars: Spicy peach margarita Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 2 oz. Hornitos tequila, 1.5 oz. peach puree, 1 oz. sweet and sour, .5 lime juice, three jalapenos Directions: Muddle two jalapenos in a glass. Add other ingredients except for remaining jalapeno into a shaker tin with ice, shake and pour into glass. Garnish with a jalapeno.

Cordoba’s historic synagogue Commentary by Don Knebel

Now Hiring ALL Positions in: Westfield Carmel Fishers Geist Zionsville Noblesville Kroger Offers Flexible Scheduling, Employee Discounts, Career Advancement, Benefits, & More!

Cordoba’s Jewish Quarter includes a synagogue reflecting the turbulent religious history of medieval Spain. TRAVEL After Muslim invaders from North Africa captured southern Spain from the Christian Visigoths in 711 A.D., they made Cordoba the capital of a new Islamic state. With the encouragement of the rulers, Cordoba became a center of learning and commerce, attracting Jews from all across Christian Europe. By the 10th century, Cordoba, with a population of about 500,000, was the largest city in the world, with running water and lighted streets. In about 1160, a strict Muslim sect conquered Cordoba and threatened its Jews with death if they did not convert to Islam, signaling the beginning of Cordoba’s decline and the end of the socalled “golden age of Judaism.” In 1236, Christian forces under Ferdinand III of Castile reconquered Cordoba and gave its remaining Jewish residents the right to build a synagogue, which they did. When Cordoba’s bishop complained that the new synagogue rivaled his cathedral in size,

Pope Innocent IV had it demolished. In 1315, residents built a much more modest synagogue near where Moses Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher, was born in 1135. The interior of the synagogue was decorated in the Mudéjar style developed under Islamic rule and featured an ornate balcony reserved for women. After Ferdinand and Isabella expelled all the Jews from Spain in 1492, the synagogue was used as a hospital and later became a chapel used by the local shoemakers’ guild. In 1884, after inscriptions from the Book of Psalms were found on walls throughout the building, it was restored to close to its original appearance and maintained as a national monument. Today, the Cordoba Synagogue, which retains some evidence of its use as a chapel, is one of Cordoba’s most popular destinations. A statue of a seated Maimonides is nearby.

I before E except after C is a lie Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

ceiling), or when sounded like “A” as in weight or “I” as in height (neighbor, sleigh, heist, height), or when a prefix or suffix implies E-I (reiterate, deionize, canoeing). Phew. Unfortunately, even this long rule still has exceptions, like either, forfeit, sovereign and reveille. Still, the rule I outline above works 99 percent of the time. Gen. Douglas MacArthur famously said, “Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.” We won’t judge the general too harshly for ending his sentence in a preposition; instead, we’ll just consider how his quote (if true even some of the time) makes English spelling and grammar so tricky. The only way to know how to spell all these words correctly is to memorize them. I recommend investing in a nice set of flashcards; you can study them during your leisure time.

Pluto isn’t a planet. There’s a fifth ocean. Davy Crockett didn’t die defending the Alamo; he was captured GRAMMAR GUY and later executed. At least, we think so. Our entire education was a lie! Let’s just acknowledge that textbooks don’t always get things right. In fact, textbooks were kind of a new thing in the mid1800s when the convenient rhyme “I before E except after C” gained popularity. Too bad this mnemonic device is wildly incorrect. The full rhyme states, “I before E, except after C — or when sounded like A as in ‘neighbor’ and ‘weigh.’” But what about those foreign atheists who routinely seize caffeinated heifers? It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure out this rule is just plain weird. I’m not going to leave your education in a heap of rubble; instead, I’m going to make it more complicated and rebuild it (and then remind you Curtis Honeycutt is a national there are always exceptions to the rule). award-winning, syndicated humor writer.
