County commissioners declare state of emergency By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Commissioners declared a state of emergency last week for Boone County in response to the new coronavirus. The declaration PANDEMIC went into effect March 17. The emergency preparedness action plan will help activate funding, supplies and resources, if needed. The commissioners, in partnership with the Emergency Management Agency, Witham Health Services, Boone County Sheriff’s Office and the Boone County Health Dept., have declared a public health emergency as a proactive measure to protect the health of county residents. Following the declaration, the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds closed to the pub-

lic, and the Annex and Witham buildings at the fairgrounds may be used for patient overflow from Witham Hospital, if needed, according to the BCHD. The plan aims to combat COVID-19, the disease stemming from the new coronavirus. Claire Haughton, public information officer with the Boone County Health Dept., said there has been no patient overflow from any county hospital as of press time. Boone County has reported one presumptive positive case of COVID-19 as of press time, but Haughton said there could be more that have not yet been identified. “It’s just a precaution to prepare for the worst,” Haughton said. Travel is not restricted in any way by the state of emergency. All county offices have taken special precautions to protect the health of county

residents. Beginning March 23, public access hours to the Boone County Courthouse were switched to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until further notice. All residents and employees will go through an evaluation tent, answer a questionnaire and clear a temperature screening before admittance. Only then will they receive a colored wristband for the day that will allow them to enter the courthouse or other public areas of county-owned and operated buildings. The declaration was set to expire March 24, but it may be renewed upon further evaluation, according to the BCHD. The commissioners and county partners will reconvene every Monday to determine if a continued declaration is warranted. For more coronavirus news, visit youarecurrent.com/tag/coronavirus.

State supplies opioid treatment programs with lockboxes By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com In an effort to reduce the spread of the new coronavirus, the Indiana Division of Mental Health and AddicPANDEMIC tion, with support from Overdose Lifeline, will supply opioid treatment programs with lockboxes and naloxone kits. Lockboxes will enable some Indiana residents who seek treatment for opioid use disorder to reduce the number of trips and time spent at an opioid treatment program where they receive their daily dose of methadone, limiting their face-to-face interactions with staff and reducing exposure to COVID-19, the disease stemming from the new coronavirus. “Normally, these folks would go every couple of days,” said Jay Chaudhary, director of the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction. “Now, they’re going every two weeks. If they (were) going every six days, now they’re going to go every month.”

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a majority of patients were required to visit the clinic every day to get their medication. Every day, opioid treatment programs serve more than 10,000 Indiana residents in recovery from opioid use disorder. Chaudhary, a Zionsville resident, said the public should view those seeking treatment as having a disorder because patients don’t feel euphoria when using opioids after initial uses. Opioid use disorder recovery is aided by methadone, a drug that binds to the same brain receptors stimulated by opioids and relieves opioid withdrawal symptoms. Lockboxes will provide take-home doses of methadone for people in treatment, with the exception to those who are new to the program. Opioid treatment programs are the only locations in the state with the authority to dispense methadone for treatment of opioid use disorder. In addition, naloxone, a life-saving antidote, will be issued with the lockboxes as a precautionary measure.

ZCS to employ success-traits survey for students By Desiree Williams news@currentinzionsville.com Zionsville Community Schools soon will implement an assessment to measure students’ baseline capacity PANDEMIC and growth in each of the Strong in Every Way Success Traits: confidence, compassion, determination, ethics and wellness. Dr. Amanda Slonaker, ZCS neuropsychologist, has developed more than 150 possible items or statements to be tested in the five skill areas. In addition, the district is working with a local entrepreneur to develop the assessment software, which will mimic the style of pre- and post-test surveys. “We have worked really quite diligently for about two-and-a-half to find the right mix of software developer and the ability to actually own the finished product, that intellectual property,” ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said at the March 9 school board meeting. Robison said the goal is to review the data longitudinally without being subject to the high costs of a third-party vendor or

vendor swaps every few years. “Hopefully, we can implement some beta testing early in the fall and involve some area districts who have expressed interest so that we get a nice, robust pool and can at least do some local norming with these particular traits,” Robison said. Donations will fund the project. ZCS staff also presented suggested edits to the student handbooks for the 2020-21 school year. The changes included faculty, student and parent voices. Several edits related to using more inclusive language, such as “they” or “student” in place of “he” and “she” or “advanced curriculum” rather than “high-ability” were added. Others included updating the dress code and adjusting time blocks to reflect the new late start. An edit specific to the high school handbook relates to expanding the senior privilege program to allow more students to exercise responsibility in their fourth year. The next school board meeting will be determined.

A true tale of March madness Commentary by Ward Degler When I was 12 years old, I lived in a small town in central Missouri. March had been an unusually warm month, and a classmate of mine and I decided it PLAIN TALK was time to go swimming – maybe be the first in school to do so. Like many small towns, ours was surrounded by farms. One nearby farm had a pond near the road on which we walked to and from school. At 4 p.m. on Friday, we climbed the fence, skinned out of our clothes and stood at the edge of the water. The plan was to swim to the other side and then walk back along the bank to where our clothes were. We decided against a round trip through the water since it probably was still pretty cold. Cold didn’t come close. The water temperature was near Arctic levels as we swam for our lives to the other side. Years later, I understood why people who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge died. It wasn’t the fall; it was the cold water. We managed to reach the other side, hauled our shivering bodies out of the water and headed back around the bank at a lively trot. When we got there, our clothes were gone. A few yards away a pickup truck sat idling. Behind the wheel was the farmer’s teenage son. In the seat next to him was his girlfriend. Our clothes were draped across the hood of the truck. They were both smiling. “It’s customary to ask permission before swimming in someone’s pond,” the boy said. “I don’t recall you asking.” We nodded, apologetically. “The law says I own anything I find on my property,” he added. “Seems these clothes are mine.”

By this time we were nearing hypothermia. I remember emitting some kind of shivering utterance that might have sounded like, “Please.” The boy conferred briefly with the girl. “I don’t think these clothes would fit me,” he said, “so I’m going to let you have them back.” Imagine our relief. “But, you’re going to have to come and get them,” he added, smiling broadly. There can be no greater humiliation than making a pubescent boy walk stark naked across a field in front of total strangers, one of them a girl. It was worse when the boy put the truck in reverse and began backing up. The faster we walked, the faster he backed. We could see the farmhouse in the distance; the farmer’s wife was outside feeding the chickens. Then, he made a sudden lurch, and our clothes fell to the ground. He backed a little further and waited, smiling, while we retrieved them. Bottom line: I haven’t gone swimming in March since.

THE TRIALS OF ZIONSVILLE How businesses and restaurants are coping with closures By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana restaurant and business owners were forced to readjust their business plans within hours COVER STORY March 16, leading to an unprecedented time of uncertainty, local business owners said. To combat COVID-19, a disease stemming from the new coronavirus, on March 16, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb directed Indiana restaurants, bars and nightclubs to close to dine-in customers, all starting the following day. The directive is set to continue until at least the end of the month. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also suggested March 16 that American citizens not congregate in gatherings of more than 50 people for eight weeks. The directives left businesses scrambling. Ron Hopwood, co-owner of Hopwood Cellars Winery, and Steve Cousins, owner of the Papa Murphy’s in Zionsville and Nature’s Choice Landscape, Garden Center & Growing Image in Brownsburg, agreed that the shift will mean significant changes for local businesses, including their own. Hopwood Cellars Winery will condense its hours to 2 to 6 p.m., seven days a week and cancel many of its previously planned entertainment events, while still offering carry-out orders. Papa Murphy’s will remain open and attempt to minimize human contact through its “take-and-bake” business model: Customers order their food beforehand, and it’s ready when they arrive. Many more restaurants and businesses also were forced to change their operations. “We still have bills,” Hopwood said. “Our bills are still coming in.” Hopwood said owners are now tasked with the challenge of paying operating costs, property owners and employees with only a fraction of their typical business revenue. “The owners are going to dip into their own pocket now,” Hopwood said. “Most owners here in Zionsville are pretty smart

A NEW NORMAL?

to where I’d imagine they have a bit of a nest egg for this type of a situation, but it’s still going to hurt them greatly, I’m sure of it. (The money) has to come from somewhere.” Hopwood expects most businesses to survive until the end of the month, but he predicts things will become less certain the longer the closures last. If the closures last for multiple months, Hopwood said there would be “major problems” across the nation, including higher unemployment, permanent business closures and systemic financial woes. “I think we are going to feel the ripple effects of this for the rest of the year. especially here in Zionsville, these small busi-

nesses,” Hopwood said. The directives came a day before St. Patrick’s Day, limiting the number of in-person interactions among residents. The Friendly Tavern, a Zionsville staple, had planned its annual St. Patrick’s Day tent party for March 17, but the directives brought an abrupt halt to the event, leaving the restaurant with 700 pounds of cooked corned beef to try to quickly sell. Joel Kelly, shift manager at the McDonald’s on Oak Street, said 80 percent of the restaurant’s sales come from drive-thru orders, so he believes the store will not be affected as much as others, although its sales were down by 40 percent the Saturday before the directives. “I don’t know how long this is going to go on,” Kelly said. “I go to – at least, I used to go to – this Chinese restaurant, and they don’t have a drive-thru. Most people go to a restaurant because they want to sit down and eat. I think it’s going to cause some people to go bankrupt, I guess. This is not a short-term thing. This is not going to go away. If it’s already this bad now, what’s it going to be like in two or three months?” For more coronavirus news, visit youarecurrent.com/tag/coronavirus.

Two local business owners believe the new directives to limit large gatherings and close restaurants and bars could lead to a new normal in automation. “What’s the (health) problem? People,” said Ron Hopwood, co-owner of Hopwood Cellars Winery. He added that the potential transfer of COVID-19, a disease stemming from the new coronavirus, from one person to another is what drives the need for businesses to temporarily close some or all of their operations. Hopwood was contemplating the idea of automating some aspects of his business before the closures were announced March 16, and he said those ideas will be even more pertinent in the coming weeks. “It might almost be a positive in that it’s pushing us to the next level,” said Steve Cousins, owner of the Papa Murphy’s in Zionsville and Nature’s Choice Landscape, Garden Center & Growing Image in Brownsburg. “I think economies kind of figure themselves out, like when we automated back in the ‘50s. People are displaced, but they had to become something else and build new skills.” But Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allyson Gutwein said businesses were not ready for such a sudden and drastic change. “As much as I’d love to say automation would fix a lot of this, people still want to interact with people. There’s a reason they come down to our (businesses). They want that interaction.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Speak clearly

Wilson’s diatribe disturbing

Commentary by Terry Anker “It is not like we’re not trying to make sure that bad stuff doesn’t happen by not doing things that we used to do.” Hmm. We’re not sure what is not meant to happen ... or to happen ... or to not, not happen. It is all so confusing. In a time where clarity of communication is most important, why are so many continuing to cloud the air with doublespeak, jargon and insider lingo? The negative, especially the double negative, is, well, doubly troubling in doubly troubling conditions. What do we need to do? What is the standard? When do we need to do it? The truth of the matter, whatever the “truth” may be – and whatever the “matter” may be, for that matter – is too often intentionally construed to prevent good-intentioned folks from understanding what the heck is going on. Not intended to attack him, as many others will likely follow, but if the mayor of New York City is calling for “required shelter in place,” what is he saying? Would it be better to say martial law? Would we understand that expression any better or worse? Are they the same? How are they different? Could they mean the Marshall Law? Noted 19th-century British economist Alfred Marshall said, “There are no economic tendencies which act as steadily and can be measured as exactly as gravitation can, and consequently, there are no laws of economics which can be compared for precision with the law of gravitation.” What? It is probably not this one. A speaker’s desire to manipulate an audience with a convolution of language risks considerable misunderstanding by the listener. Perhaps, that it is the intention. Anyone attempting to sell anything to anybody is prone to play the word game. Should we accept it as unavoidable or demand clarity?

Addressing viral elephant in the room Commentary by Danielle Wilson Hmm. What to talk about this week? The aftermath of the convergence of Friday the 13th with my hormonal fluctuHUMOR ations three days after a full moon? The return of two-thirds of my college kids for spring break that has already necessitated multiple Meijer runs and ear plugs? Bore-ing! But if not the mundane, upon what else could I possibly pontificate? Should I just acknowledge the morbidly obese elephant in the room and be done? Coronavirus. There, I said it. But part of my self-care plan is to limit exposure to conversations surrounding the pandemic, which in my humble-yet-superior opinion is fueling unnecessary anxiety. I understand and completely support the closing of schools and cancellation of events (though I am suffering from acute March Sadness), but I cannot wrap my head around the ensuing mass hysteria. And I can’t avoid it, either. To wit, I was at the grocery stocking up

on milk and toilet paper – for the aforementioned invasion of my coed-locusts, not for the mandated lockdown of society – when I happened to pass a store employee carrying an empty Charmin box. I’d heard rumors of a TP shortage, so I turned down the aisle to grab a few rolls. Coming from the other direction was a guy also seemingly intent on scoring an eight-pack. There was one left. Ah, hell, no. I sprinted down that aisle like I was in the last few moments of the Olympic 100-meter dash. I actually hurdled a discarded Bounty paper towel bundle. And for what? Some toilet paper? CV doesn’t even cause diarrhea! No thanks. I’m sticking with the boring hormones and parenting woes. Peace out.

Editor, I must take issue with Danielle Wilson’s column in the March 10 issue of Current. Her diatribe on “Phoning it in” was very disturbing. Her admitting to failing at a resolution to give up her “potty mouth” was bad enough. Then, her talking about giving up something for Lent, indicating adherence to a religious tenet, she admitted to failing at that and telling her kid(s) to make their own mac & cheese was a clear indication of how far our society has become such an uncivil mess. Did she think that was funny? Did she think that was cute? Did she think that was being liberated? Did she think at all? I agree that I am probably a dinosaur, but I see absolutely no redeeming social significance to the use of the F-bomb in mixed company or, especially, in front of one’s own children. To do so should, in my view, be an easily prosecutable felony. There is enough coarseness in TV and the movies; it sure isn’t necessary for parents to reinforce it. Garry Lyon, Fishers

An alternative narrative Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Most cable systems have a feature called Video Description. A narrator describes what is going on during scenes, allowing the visually impaired to fully HUMOR enjoy the show. For example, if you are watching a cop show, you might hear: Narrator: “Sgt. Voight removes the gun from his holster and places it on the desk.” The other day I hit the wrong button and accidentally enabled the Video Description feature. We tried everything, but we couldn’t turn it off. Eventually, we just closed our eyes. That was way simpler than Googling: How do I silence the guy who keeps telling us what is happening in the scene when we can see it ourselves? I wonder what a Video Description would be like if someone narrated a day in the lives of the Wolfsies. It would start with breakfast. “Dick, would you like some fresh-pressed carrot and spinach juice?” “Sure. Thanks!” Narrator: “While Mary Ellen moves to the other side of the kitchen to feed the cat, Dick pours the green liquid down the drain, then smiles, holding up the empty glass and pretending he drank it in one gulp.” Later in the car: “Dick, this is our exit coming up.” “Oh! Thank you, Mary Ellen. Or should I call you Siri?” Narrator: “Mary Ellen glances out the passenger window. Dick shakes his head, annoyed that Mary Ellen thought he couldn’t

find their own neighborhood.” At dinner: “Dick, please sit closer to the table. I don’t want any spaghetti sauce to spill on our new carpet.” “Don’t worry, I’m very careful when I eat.” Narrator: “Mary Ellen begins to talk to their son, Brett. Dick notices that some marinara sauce landed on the floor. Mary Ellen sees Dick stealing a glance at the mess. Dick bends down to blot the red stain. Mary Ellen points to the floor and mouths the words, ‘Look, he did it again,’ to Brett.” The next morning: “Mary Ellen, I can’t find my cellphone.” “Sometimes you leave it in your robe pocket. Did you look there?” “Of course, that’s the first place I looked.” Narrator: “Mary Ellen goes to front door to get the newspaper. Dick runs into the bathroom and finds his phone in his robe pocket, then runs back to the living room and sticks the phone between the couch cushions. Mary Ellen returns.” “Hey, guess what. I found it here in the couch.” Narrator: “Mary Ellen turns away and rolls her eyes. The camera follows Dick to the basement where he sits at his computer and begins his column for this week, all about Video Descriptions.”

Maintain fitness with home workout

DISPATCHES Keep your laptop clean — Even if you’ve mastered the art of diligently washing your hands to the tune of your favorite song refrain, there’s still a chance that germs are hanging out on your laptop. Here are four steps for easily disinfecting your laptop, while also ridding it of all the crumbs of lunches past: Use a can of compressed air to get rid of crumbs, dust and other buildup; wipe down your laptop surface with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol; clean your screen with a dry microfiber cloth and maybe a smidge of liquid; and let your laptop dry before using it. Source: Mentalfloss.com Can you catch coronavirus from surfaces? — Like other coronaviruses, COVID-19 is known to spread from close person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC’s website says surfaces can be contaminated with the virus. Though, there are no known cases started in that manner. Even so, a new study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), CDC, UCLA, and Princeton University scientists found the virus can remain infectious in droplets in the air for hours and surfaces for days. The study in the New England Journal of Medicine also suggests that people may get the virus “after touching contaminated objects.” Source: Foxnews.com

Commentary by Seth Tucker During the widespread shutdowns and self-quarantines, our gym routines may have taken a hit. It is more important than ever to maintain our health and fitness. EXERCISE This circuit-style bodyweight workout allows you to stay active even from home. Perform this workout three times a week with at least one day of rest between workouts. These exercises can be adjusted to varying levels of fitness and the focus should be on controlled movements and full range of motion. If you aren’t able to move all the way through the full range of motion, that’s OK. Do the best you can and increase your range as you improve. The squat and pushup can be made more difficult by slowing down each rep for a 5-second count on the lowering portion and a 5-second count on the way back up. You can decrease the difficulty of the squat by placing a low chair or block behind you to sit down and stand up from, while the pushups can be made easier by doing them from your knees or placing your hands on an elevated surface such as a chair or ledge. For the bear crawl, start in a pushup position, hands shoulder-width apart and knees bent. Move the left hand and the right leg forward to start crawling. Alternate the arm and leg movements while keeping the back straight and the hips and shoulders at the same height. For the bird dog, get on all fours with your hands un-

Coronavirus pandemic forces theater groups to face difficulties By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com If there has been a constant theme in the announcements of cancellations and postponements of theater productions and concerts due to POSTPONEMENTS the coronavirus pandemic, it is that it will create hardship for the arts world. Local theater groups are offering refunds for shows that have been postponed or canceled, although they would appreciate it if refunds could be a donation to the organization. Center for the Performing Arts The Center for Performing Arts suspended performances for a month when Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb first announced COVID-19 guidelines of restricting gatherings to no more than 250 people March 13. When Holcomb amended that to no more than 50 people March 16, the Center extended the suspension of all performances and other events at its venues through May 11. President Donald Trump announced March 16 a federal guideline that limits gatherings to no more than 10 people. The affected venues include the Palladium, The Tarkington and the Studio Theater. The cancellations include performances by Actors Theatre of Indiana, Carmel Symphony Orchestra, Central Indiana Dance Ensemble, Civic Theatre, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and the Indiana Wind Symphony as well as education events, rental events and Center Presents performances. That includes Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s performance of “Exodus” set for April 3-5 and Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s March 14 and April 18 concerts. “We regret the circumstances that brought us to this point, but clearly there is no other responsible decision to make for the welfare of our patrons, employees and the community,” stated Jeff C. McDermott, president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation. All ticket holders will be contacted and provided refunds or the option to donate the purchase amount to the presenting organization to help defray costs associated

with the cancellations. The Center will work to reschedule the canceled events as feasible, according to a press release. The Center will continue to follow the guidance of public safety officials and will reassess the suspension as needed. Offices will remain in operation during standard business hours. The box office and the Great American Songbook Exhibit Gallery at the Palladium will be closed to the public through May 11, but ticket sales for events not affected by the suspension will continue online at thecenterpresents.org or by phone at 317-843-3800. Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre officials have announced the remaining performances of “Saturday Night Fever” and the upcoming scheduled production of “An American in Paris” have been canceled. “Saturday Night Fever” was scheduled to run through March 29 and “An American in Paris” was scheduled to start April 2. Ticket holders for those shows will be contacted by Beef & Boards box office staff with op-

tions available to them. At this time, Beef & Boards plans to reopen with the opening of “The Sound of Music” as scheduled May 14. For more, beefandboards.com Civic Theatre Civic Theatre had to postpone “A Few Good Men” March 13, the day the show was supposed to open at the Studio Theater. The restrictions also forced Civic to shut down “Matilda The Musical,” which was set to open April 24. It is uncertain when or if the shows will be rescheduled. In the meantime, all ticket holders will be contacted and provided refunds or the option to donate the purchase amount to Civic Theatre to help defray costs associated with the cancellations. “The magic of live theatre is fundamental to our patrons, volunteers and staff. We are heartbroken at the postponement of ‘A Few Good Men’ and ‘Matilda the Musical,’’ Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Michael Lasley stated. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Actors Theatre of Indiana ATI has postponed “Damn Yankees,” which was scheduled to open April 24, and the May 5 ATI Theatre Lab reading of “Provenance.” ATI co-founder Don Farrell said the plan is to move both into the 2020-2021 season. “The decision to delay programming places an incredible financial strain on ATI,” Farrell said in a note to supporters. “Please consider making a donation today so that when this crisis ends - and it will - Actors Theatre of Indiana will still be right here waiting for you with open arms, ready to reflect all the best parts of our shared humanity.” For more, visit atistage.org. Indiana Repertory Theatre Indiana Repertory Theatre officials said they have made the tough decision to cancel the rest of the 2019-20 season. “This is devastating news for our staff and artists, and we do not make this decision lightly. We thank our loyal patrons for your patience as we move forward in these unprecedented times,” Artistic Director Janet Allen and Managing Director Suzanne Sweeney said in a statement. “Our ticket office will be in touch with patrons who purchased ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ tickets to best accommodate the closing of this production as well as the closing of the season. As you can imagine, our customer service staff is experiencing high volumes of requests at this time, and we ask that you await their contact.” For “Murder on the Orient Express” ticket holders, the IRT, in partnership with WFYI, is offering ticket holders a taped performance of “Murder on the Orient Express.” Details on accessing the show online will be offered soon. For more, visit irtlive.com/support. Westfield Playhouse Main Street Productions has postponed “A Raisin in the Sun,” set to run March 20 to April 5 at the Westfield Playhouse.

Korave Korean BBQ  Go-Chu Pork is a Korean spicy pork rice bowl. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9713 District North Dr. Suite 1210, Fishers   What to get: Go-Chu Pork (Korean spicy pork rice bowl) Price: $11 Anna’s take: Korave Korean BBQ is one of three startups housed in Fishers Test Kitchen. Rice bowl can be ordered with pork, beef ($12), chicken ($10) or seared tofu ($11). It’s a hefty serving of meat with white or purple rice or noodles for an extra $1.50. The meat and a colorful array of carrots, cabbage and

lettuce overflow in a large bowl. It’s a great serving size with a wonderful taste I haven’t experienced before. Another popular item is Bul-Go-Ki Poutine (Korean BBQ beef and fries, $11). Korave is closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, but keep up to date on its social media platforms for a reopen date. What better way to spice up your return to society than with Korean BBQ? Suggested pairings: Pair with a Sun King Brewery Pachangarita, an icy mix of Pachanga beer and tequila.

Blueprint for Improvement: Efficient mudroom in Westfield Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The closet was eliminated in exchange for open shelves and cubbies for each member of the family. The incorporated bench provides more seating than the previous version. 2. Each top cubby has an integrated USB charging port so family members can charge their devices as soon as they get home. 3. Cabinetry above the cubbies and a built-in dresser with granite countertop provides ample concealed storage for a variety of household items that need to be quickly accessible. 4. Slate tile laid in a herringbone pattern connects the new mudroom with the adjoining laundry room.

THE CHALLENGE This Westfield home was built in 2010 in the Long Ridge Estates neighborhood. Previously, the mudroom entry through the garage offered a small bench and a coat closet, with the laundry room just beyond. It wasn’t an efficient use of space for this family of four, who wanted a more open and accessible place to store coats, backpacks and other essentials.

Vienna’s magnificent, world-leading opera house Commentary by Don Knebel The Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera) in Vienna, Austria, is one of the world’s leading opera houses. It was once so poorly regarded that neither of its TRAVEL designers survived its construction. Opera has been important in Vienna since the early 1700s, when it was aggressively promoted by Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who also was an accomplished composer. Operas were initially performed in Heinrichshorf, a magnificent private residence in the center of Vienna. By the middle of the 19th century, the scale of popular operas had outgrown the capacity of Heinrichshorf. In 1857, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I authorized using public funds to build a new opera house near the existing one along the Ringstraße (Ring Road). A competition for the design of the new opera house required that the entrants identify a slogan capturing the essence of their design. The competition was won by architect August Sicard von Sicardsburg and interior decorator Eduard van der Nüll, whose slogan was “Fais ce que dois, advient que pourra” (essentially, “Do your best, no matter what happens”). The foundation stone for the new opera house was laid in 1863. Unfortunately, the building, lacking the grandeur of Heinrichshorf, was panned even before it was completed. The criticism increased when the Ringstraße in front of the building was raised more than 3 feet, leading people to

call the unfinished structure “the sunken box.” Devastated by the harsh reception, Van der Null committed suicide and Sicardsburg died of a heart attack before the building opened on May 25, 1869, with a lavish production of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” attended by Emperor Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, the beloved “Sisi.” Each year, Wiener Staatsoper stages more than 300 performances of more than 60 different operas and ballets. It also

It seems like our whole world has been canceled in the past week. Coronavirus has changed our daily lives from school cancelations to large GRAMMAR GUY events being postponed or canceled. Yes, the word “canceled” is all over the place, but we’re (rightly so) more concerned about making sure we all stay safe and healthy. As we all adjust to a radically different world than the one we lived in a week ago, I’m going to focus for a minute on British and American English spellings. By doing so, we can know the correct way to spell “canceled” in the U.S. Why are so many British and American English words spelled differently? Look no further than the All-American boy Noah Webster Jr. In addition to being buddies with Alexander Hamilton, serving in the Connecticut House of Representatives and being a fascinating character, Webster was a lexicographer, which is a fancy way of saying “word nerd.” His 1828 “An American Dictionary of the

English Language” was Webster’s first comprehensive dictionary. It established many of the spelling differences between British and American English, although many other simplifications (like “tung” instead of “tongue” and “soop” instead of “soup”) didn’t catch on. Mr. Webster’s spelling proposals aimed to weed out pointless letters, making words easier to spell. This included slashing an “L” from words with double “L’s,” including “canceled,” “traveled,” “counselor,” “jewelry,” and “equaled.” Webster’s influence led to new standard American spellings, as the double “L” words are still standard British spellings. Lately, I’ve seen quite a few events being “cancelled,” while the users should be using the one “L” version, “canceled.”
