Meghann York said every year, some marketing program will declare ONEZONE email is dead.

Yet York, senior director of product marketing for Salesforce, said email still is a key marketing tool.

“So the challenge is not how to do we replace our email program, it’s how do we keep up our email program and add all the other channels the customers expect,” York said as she addressed the State of Marketing at the Nov. 14 OneZone chamber luncheon at the Forum Conference and Events Center in Fishers. “It’s a challenge and also an opportunity. All those different channels, from visual advertising to mobile apps to social advertising, all of those are opportunities to get data points from your customers, find out what their interests are and what their preferences are. You can turn to that the next time they interact with you. It’s a more personalized opportunity.”

York said it’s important that advertising, mobile and email teams communicate on strategy to understand customer expectations.

“To make sure we are putting the customer at the center of everything we do and moving forward like that,” York said.

York said marketing should be based on customers and their expectations.

“Our high-performing groups work with ser-

vice to drive that customer experience,” York said. “It comes back to sharing goals. Everyone wants to be on a winning team, so making sure you are on the same page about that (is important), getting outside your marketing department and working with sales people to find out what they need.”

York said being aligned with the service department is important, too.

“Are you using your social channels to influence the service areas?” York said. “The highperforming marketing programs are the ones operating on those shared goals.”

York said the research broke the groups into high performers, moderate performers and underperformers.

“In our personal lives all of us are consumers,” York said. “Groups like Amazon, Facebook and Spotify are giving us the information when we want. The bad news for us in business is all our consumers are going to expect that interaction delivered, no matter what brand they are interacting with. Our research is showing if that experience is not consistent every time and it’s not personal, that customers are more finicky than ever and they will switch brands.”

York said the high-performing marketers are making those changes in their business.

“They believe they will win on customer experience,” York said. “They are leaning on that customer journey strategy to really deliver that.”

Centier gives back – During a time of the year in which many nonprofits are stepping up to help those in need, Centier Bank is seeking to reward these organizations through “Giving Days,” a program designed to raise funds for nonprofits through midDecember. The nonprofits selected for “Giving Days” include Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County, Hamilton County Youth Assistance and Chaucie’s Place. For every visitor mentioning “Giving Days” to a Centier associate, the bank will donate $10 to a participating organization.

Experience Bethlehem - Journey Lutheran Ministries will present A Night in Bethlehem, a free event for the community from 7 to 9 p.m. Dec. 7 at the church, 10401 E. 116th St. The two-hour event will allow kids and adults to explore the City of Bethlehem on the night of Jesus’ birth.

City of Fishers returns with Winter Wonderland

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

The City of Fishers once again will host Winter Wonderland. The HOLIDAYS event will be from 2 to 8 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. This year, the event will be during the day on Saturday instead of Friday evening as in previous years.

“We would like it to be more of an openhouse feel and encourage the community to come at 2 (p.m.) and do all of the activities and stay for the tree lighting, or come to the tree lighting and stay afterwards and take part in the activities,” said Sarah Sandquist, director for the Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. “We are just spreading it out a little bit because we’ve had some pretty large crowds. We just want to encourage everybody to come and not feel like they’re rushed and be able to take part in all the activities that will be there.”

Entertainment will be on the amphitheater stage from 2 to 8 p.m.

“We are partnering with Fishers Music Works and Nickel Plate Arts to program the stage with a whole variety of musical acts and ensembles,” Sandquist said.

Sandquist said the event is designed as a celebration of all winter holidays, not just Christmas.

“It’s really to celebrate the season and all of the holidays that fall within this season,”

she said.

The tree lighting will be at 6 p.m. Other activities include a petting zoo, an ice sculptor, a candy cane hunt, letters to Santa, a sensory-friendly area and more.

“The sensory-friendly area mimics all the activities going on throughout the event but in a place that isn’t loud and doesn’t have as many crowds,” Sandquist said.

The city also will partner with Hamilton East Public Library, 5 Municipal Dr. “They will be offering activities within the library and a warming area,” Sandquist said. “There will be coloring and crafts in there.”

The library will host a holiday performance from 2 to 3 p.m.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase but all other activities are free.

For more, visit playfishers.com.

CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS WITH PETS This year, local residents’ four-legged friends can celebrate the holidays with their owners. The City of Fishers will offer Pet Pictures with Santa from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. Photos will be printed on-site and will be available for purchase from Smiling Dog Photography. Pets must be kept on a leash.

From the Flanner Buchanan family to yours, have a blessed holiday season.

Reports have risen each year for the past four years. As of August, Hamilton County averaged approximately 40 child abuse reports per month, with 319 this year. The ITA recently launched its No More Secrets public awareness campaign, which aims to raise awareness of child sexual abuse.

On Nov. 13, the ITA kicked off a fivemonth Lunch and Learn series. On the second Tuesday of every month through May, a Lunch and Learn will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Kirkendall Room at the Delaware Township Community Center, 9090 E. 131st St. “The purpose of a Lunch and Learn is to target specific audience groups that work

“For example, we hosted the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana (for the first event). It’s just kind of the tip of the iceberg, prevention and training that we provide to those participants. So, we go over the No More Secrets campaign, we define what it is and the goals. We go over some statistics for both Hamilton County and the state, and then we go over a tailored presentation for the participants to give them some more insight as it relates to their organization.”

COMMUNITY OBITUARY: KATHLEEN MARIA BOWEN Kathleen Marie Bowen, 98, of Fishers, died Nov. 11. As a Christian, she did not fear death. She was actually looking forward to “going home” and had expressed to her three sons, John, Danny and Carl, that even as much as she loved them, she loved Jesus more and was ready to go to her heavenly home. Her husband of nearly 71 years preceded her in death March 30, 2010.

Kathleen (Kathy) was born to Claude and Dorothy (Seekins) Hinshaw Aug. 10, 1920. She married Jasper Fred Bowen May 23, 1939.

Bowen They raised their family on a farm 3 1/2 miles east of what was then the small town of Fishers.

In 1963, the family moved to a new home in Fishers at 116th Street and Lynn Avenue.

Kathy was an artist, taught art classes and blessed many people with her landscape paintings. Upon moving to Fishers, Kathy became an active member in what was then known as Cumberland Pike Church of Christ (Christian Church) and later, at the age of 95, helped launch Christ’s Church North while living with her middle son, Danny R. Bowen and his wife, Leslie, at their home near Pleasant View southeast of Indianapolis.

Survivors include three sons, 10 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Memorial contributions may be made to Christ’s Church North, 9625 East 150th St., Noblesville, IN 46060; or Christian Mission of South lndia, a foreign mission Kathy supported.

On Nov. 7, Heirbrandt and Patterson traveled to Jackson County to present on Hamilton County’s restoration plans for the bridge.

“We presented to them what we would do if we obtained this bridge and how we would restore it,” Heirbrandt said. “They voted and gave us (unanimous) approval.”

Hamilton County plans to include Jackson County in the restoration process. In exchange for the bridge, Hamilton County donated $25,000 to Jackson County’s Round Barn Restoration Fund.

FUNDING Hamilton County is exploring funding options such as an 80/20 grant from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO is granting funds for projects beginning in 2024. However, if the county is awarded the grant and other MPO projects fall through, the bridge could be restored sooner.

Hamilton County also is applying for grants from INDOT and the National Covered Bridge Restoration Foundation.

Heirbrandt said he expects restoration to cost approximately $3 million.

“When we’re applying for funding, it’s very competitive, but this project is very unique and it brings a lot of history with it,” Heirbrandt said. “It’s our hope those will be major considerations when they’re looking at funding for this project be-

cause it’s the only one (combination post truss bridge). That, and it was built in 1868. There’s not a lot of old bridges that are that old that are still around.”

There are two spans to the Bell Ford bridge, measuring 325 feet long in total. The county only requires half of the bridge for its plans near Geist Park and plans to store the other span to use in the future.

The deconstructed bridge is stored in Barker’s barn in Bloomington. The county is waiting to transport the bridge until the restoration date is closer.

When reconstructed, the bridge will consist of a single reconstructed span from the Bell Ford Covered Bridge and two contemporary-style approach spans.

It will utilize a standing seam metal roof.

The siding will be built with fiberglass, glass and other clear materials. Interior lighting will be added.

BELL FORD COVERED BRIDGE HISTORY The Bell Ford Covered Bridge was constructed in 1868. It consisted of two spans crossing the east fork of the White River in Jackson County.

The bridge spanned 325 feet.

A wind storm caused the western span of the bridge to collapse in 1999. The eastern span collapsed in 2006. During the second collapse, the bridge fell into the river but many of the trusses were salvaged.

Since the collapse, the bridge has been stored in engineer Jim Barker’s barn in Bloomington.

ESSAY

LETTER Attacks lead to discouragement, hope

False impressions Commentary by Terry Anker We live in an age of swift and irreversible judgment. Accusation, if acutely leveraged, has the effect of judge, jury and executioner. Our prejudices lead us to the warm corners of our own confirmation bias – we find and digest only that which agrees with that with which we already agree. Ordinarily, inconsequential or naïve utterances are used as blunt instruments to destroy decades-long careers, family relationships and trusted institutions. The English Bard, William Shakespeare, reminded us that “suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.” But he might have added note of the corrosive effect it has on us all.

Like the eroding result the irresistible forces of nature have on the seemingly impenetrable ancient stone fortresses, the constant aspersion of the detractors amongst us debases our trust in each other and in our communal organizations.

Seeming truisms – trust no one – become false demigods. Can we live in the complete absence of trust?

Should we? Is it even correct to imagine that not one human can be trusted – ever, in any circumstance?

Regardless, we plod on, wary of the motive and intention of others.

We isolate ourselves in eternally smaller identity groups, eager to exclude any who fail to conform to our increasingly doctrinaire vetting of their likely natures. The 1930s radio show character, The Shadow, claimed: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

The Shadow knows!” Yet, given his almost supernatural deductive powers, The Shadow still had to discern between actual guilt and its mere perception. Appearances deceive us. Motives are often complicated, and things are routinely not as they seem.

Avoiding December disasters Commentary by Danielle Wilson This is it, people. The season of parenting Olympics is upon us, and as a 20-year survivor of the most exhausting of HUMOR months, I’d like to offer some hard-earned advice. After all, we don’t want a repeat of 2009, do we?

• Just say no. No to making an extra batch of homemade sprinkle cupcakes for your first-grader’s teacher (she wants cash, anyway!). No to hosting a mother-daughter holiday tea for Scout Troop 176. And a big, fat no to anything that involves glitter and/or licking more than 11 envelopes.

• If you ignored No. 1 and said yes to Elf on the Shelf, there’s not a lot I can do for you now. My best advice is a late arrival (“Pickleknuckle’s flight was delayed. Stupid ATL”) and a fake broken leg (“Honey, it’s really hard for PK to move around. Santa said he should stay put”).

• Clearly articulate plans to all parties in advance, and if possible, in writing. Having definitive dates, times and locations ahead of time allows for the necessary mental and emotional preparation for dealing with in-laws, politically polarizing family and sugarcookie-crazed rugrats and provides opportunity for the stockpiling of Maker’s and the orchestration of multiple escape routes.

• Amazon Prime.

• Make lists. Check them twice. Gifts, chores, grocery, honey-do, Netflix must-watches, “Reasons I Should Be Mom of the Year,” whatever.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”

–Albert Einstein

Editor, I attended a Community Memorial Gathering (Nov. 1) at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation for the people who were recently killed at the synagogue in Pittsburgh. In one way, I feel discouraged at seeing acts of anti-Semitism rise 58 percent since 2016, but another part of my spirit is hopeful, and here is why.

There were more than 1,000 people from all faiths being present to show their support of our Jewish brother and sisters.

Recently, we saw people of all faiths build a house for a family through Habitat for Humanity. We had more than 60 people in attendance every Thursday evening of October for Carmel Interfaith Alliance’s “Meet Your Neighbor” series, where we had speakers share their beliefs and misconceptions of their faith.

I am convinced that one of the best ways to decrease prejudice is helping people meet others of another culture or faith tradition. Once we get to know each other as human beings we see how much more we have in common than what divides us.

Pastor Jerry Zehr, president of the Carmel Interfaith Alliance

Now hear this Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “You need to have your hearing tested,” my wife said. “I’ve told you that a hundred times.”

HUMOR “I only remembered 60, but maybe I didn’t hear the other 40 suggestions.”

I took a hearing test online. I was instructed to wear headphones and sit in a quiet room. All the rooms in my house are very quiet — even the laundry room when I am doing the wash. Hmmm, that is a little peculiar.

I was prompted to click on a green button if I heard a sound. I clicked every single time because I realized this was just a scam to sell me a hearing aid, which I clearly don’t need. Sure enough, they called me 10 minutes after I finished.

“Mr. Wolfsie, thank you for selecting the Republic Hearing Company.”

“Wait, isn’t the election over? And I’m not Republican.”

“Sir, we are calling about the hearing test you just took online.”

I agreed to see their hearing loss professional. They sent me a form to fill out.

SEE IF YOU MAY HAVE HEARING LOSS

Why were they yelling at me in bold capital letters? I wanted to determine if I’m hard of hearing, not hard of seeing. I tried to give honest answers to the survey questions.

Do others complain that you watch TV with the volume too high?

Every night, my wife comes into the bedroom while I’m watching “The Late Show” and says, “I can’t believe how loud this is.” I know she is saying that because I can read lips.

Can you hear people in another room?

No. That is the major reason I went into another room in the first place.

Do you sometimes hear ringing in your ears?

If dog barking follows, I know it means there is someone at the door.

My audiologist appointment is next week.

“Does he have a good reputation?” my wife asked.

“I have no idea,” I said. “I haven’t heard a thing.”

Sue Colombini recently opened Tangerine Cards & Gifts in Fishers. (Submitted photo)

Gift shop opens in Fishers

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Sue Colombini wanted to expand her gift shop further east, so she NEW BIZ opened a Tangerine Cards & Gifts store in Fishers in September. She opened the first store in Carmel in 2005.

“It’s basically the same store we have in Carmel, but as we know, people travel,” she said. “Since it’s on the other side of town, we wanted to serve the east side of town since the Carmel store is on the west side.”

The store started as a gift and home décor shop but has since become a full-line boutique that Colombini calls a one-stop shop.

“A lot of boutiques specialize in clothing or women’s accessories,” she said. “We are full-line, so not only do we do all boutique business, we do home business and gift

business along with it. It’s kind of a curated shop for customers.”

Colombini said items at Tangerine Cards & Gifts are moderately priced but unique.

“We try to make things very affordable, but we try to carry different things that you can’t get at, say, the mall,” she said. “I always tell my customers it’s no fun to go into a boutique or gift store if everything in the store is too expensive and you can’t afford it. We want to make sure there’s something for everyone.”

Colombini lived in Indianapolis when she opened the Carmel store but now lives in Chicago. She doesn’t have immediate plans to open another store.

“We are good with two for right now, but I never want to say never,” she said.

The two stores are at 10130 Brooks School Rd., Fishers, and 4335 W. 106th St., Carmel. For more, visit tangerinegifts.com.

ExcelsiusGPS technology comes to Riverview

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health is continuing its trend of upgrading and updating.

SURGERY The county health system recently announced its purchase of ExcelsiusGPS, new equipment that assists surgeons by providing a real-time visualization to spine implant placements.

Riverview officials said the equipment is unique in that it takes into account each patient’s anatomy to make spine surgeries as precise as possible.

“We’re committed to providing the highest quality care for our patients, which includes investing in the latest technolo-

gies,” said Seth Warren, president and CEO of Riverview Health. “We’re excited about the new opportunities ExcelsiusGPS brings to the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, robotics and navigation.”

The ExcelsiusGPS technology was designed to increase safety and accuracy in the operating room, but it also has other features like a reduced amount of radiation exposure for the patient, surgeons and staff. Because it facilitates minimally invasive procedures, there may be less blood loss and less muscle damage during a surgery, which could then lead to a faster recovery.

‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ set for CCP

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This normally would not be the type of play that longtime Carmel Community Players board member Lori PLAY Raffel would choose to direct.

“I usually pick edgier shows, but no one would submit a Christmas show,” said Raffel, a Carmel High School graduate who lives in Indianapolis. “I don’t have any family left. I don’t go anywhere (at Christmas). I thought, ‘I’ll just bite the bullet and I’ll do the Christmas show.’”

Raffel struggled finding a show she wanted to do until someone suggested she read the script.

“I thought it has a great lesson to it and it’s not preachy and it’s not cheesy,” Raffel said. “It’s really funny and I think kids and adults will like it.”

CCP’s production of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” will run Nov. 29 to Dec. 9 at Studio 37 in Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy, 10029 E. 126th St., Fishers.

“The stage is bigger and there is a curtain, and for this show, the curtain is very important,” Raffel said.

Raffel said she cast several members of Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy’s dance students.

“It was hard to find boys (to cast),” Raffel said. “So, the Herdman family is supposed to be girls and boys but now it’s just one boy and the rest are girls.”

The cast includes 12 children and five adults. The story revolves around a Christmas pageant at the church. There is a new director but the woman normally in charge breaks her leg.

“They talk this poor mother into doing it,” Raffel said. “The Herdmans, kind of a welfare family with the parents not around, come because they hear at church you get refreshments for free.

They show up and end up getting all the big parts.”

Raffel said everyone tells the director it’s going to be a disaster and the Herdmans are bullies.

“In the end, it’s the best Christmas pageant ever because everyone learns they are pretty cool kids after all,” Raffel said.

Raffel said she put some singing in the

show because the cast are such good singers.

Fishers resident Joe Meyers plays the pastor. His wife, Lee, plays one of the church members.

“We met in 1980 playing husband and wife in a play called ‘My Daughter, Your Son,’ in Terre Haute,” Joe Meyers said. “We enjoyed it, so we made it permanent.”

Joe Meyers has been acting since 1956.

“I started in 1950 when I was a mere lass,” Lee Meyers said.

Westfield Middle School seventh-grader Maya Davis is performing for the first time with CCP. She has previously performed with Westfield Playhouse. Davis plays Imogene Herdman.

“I like that she is mean and sassy,” Davis said. “I like the change she goes through and she has some killer lines, as my mom puts it. She shows her soft side as the show goes on.”

Carmel residents Steven Marsh and his wife Nikki Vrtis, along with their son, Sam Vrtismarsh, are in the production.

Marsh plays Bob Bradley and Vrtis-

marsh plays his son, Charlie. Vrtis plays one of the church women.

“I’m on stage a lot and don’t say anything. The times that I do talk I have some pretty funny lines,” said Vrtismarsh, a Carmel Middle School sixth-grader.

Vrtismarsh played one of the Herdman children in the same play in 2014 at Westfield Playhouse.

“He was one of the bratty Herdman kids. Now, he’s playing the good kid,” Marsh said. “This is the second time we played father and son on stage. We played in “The Nerd” for Westfield Playhouse.”

Vrtis is making her acting debut, although she did play the Wicked Witch in a “Hansel and Gretel” play in kindergarten. “(Vrtis) started reading for people and I just kind of hooked her in,” Raffel said.

Vrtis looks forward to her small part.

“It’s not a huge role, so there are not too many lines to learn,” Vrtis said. “It’s just getting on stage at the right time. I’m hoping I can remember (the lines) once I have an audience.”

DeYoung brings ‘Grand Illusion’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Styx lead singer Dennis DeYoung never understood the attraction of performing an entire album, CONCERT start to finish, in concert.

“My theory is on any album, no matter how great it is, there is always a song or two that you think, Does anybody really need to hear that one again?” DeYoung said. “The fans responded so positively, we said, ‘OK.’ My observation after having done this for a long time, the fans are pretty important.

Without them, I’d be in my basement playing with my trained parrot.”

DeYoung, 71, will present the 40th anniversary tour of the “The Grand Illusion” album at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“It started as a lark on the 40th anniversary of the day it was released, July 7, 1977,” DeYoung said. “I decided to do that one show in Chicago and sold it out.

People reacted so positively to it that my manager and I decided to try it again in December and sold it again. We thought, ‘What’s going on here?’ So, we decided we would offer it to promoters, and 25

different cities came in immediately to do the show. It continues because promoters keep wanting that show.”

DeYoung, one of the founding members of Styx, was fired from the group in 1999 after he wanted the other band members to postpone the tour because of an illness that temporarily made his eyes sensitive. His bandmates refused and replaced him. DeYoung, who had creative differences about the band’s direction, wrote seven of Styx’s eight Top 10 Billboard singles.

Anthony’s Chophouse

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Jumbo sea scallops Price: $38 Anna’s take: Anthony’s Chophouse has a variety of terrific dishes, and I tried several, but the jumbo sea scallops were by far my favorite. The scallops are pan-seared, served on top of a creamy cotija polenta and topped with chorizo and black beans.

It’s a lighter dish that doesn’t feel as heavy as steak or pork chops (which also were delicious), but the scallops are meaty and tender.

Before my main course, I sampled the tuna tataki ($16), which is sushi-grade tuna with pickled asparagus and jalapenos on the side. A wasabi avocado crema adorned the plate and was a great way to add just

a touch of spice without being overbearing.

The tuna tataki is dusted with a wonton crumb and the tuna slices are thick and tender.

I also sampled the kale cherry salad — tossed kale, green apples, dried cherries and figs drizzled with a balsamic gastrique and lemon cherry vinaigrette. The salad combines sweet and tangy flavors.

If you aren’t a scallops fan, try the Berkshire Chop ($31) as an entree. It is a center-cut, bone-in and slow-braised pork chop, served on top of puffed barley, which is the restaurant’s play on risotto. Topping the pork is a tangy balsamic gastrique and a thick, sweet strawberry chutney which makes this dish taste like the holidays.

Anthony’s Chophouse serves its side dishes family style. A good option is the creamy mac ($12), a delicious combo of gemelli pasta, serrano peppers, tomato skin, gouda cream and white corn crisp on top. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try the broccolini ($11).

It’s served with shaved almonds, dried cherries and a white wine vinaigrette.

Suggested pairings: Anthony’s Chophouse has excellent, unique cocktail selections and I would suggest going with one of those. My personal favorites are the Chophouse Old Fashioned and the Dirty Dancer – a spicy play on a vodka martini with sriracha.

Behind bars: The Dirty Dancer Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. Tito’s vodka, dry vermouth, .75 oz. dirty mix, 4 drops sriracha, 2 stuffed olives Directions: Rinse a martini glass with dry vermouth. Add vodka, dirty mix, sriracha and ice to a shaker tin and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled martini glass and garnish with two stuffed olives.

Can something ‘go missing?’

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Formation in Zion National Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Religion in a national park Commentary by Don Knebel

tive Americans who once lived in the area.

Ironically, the Virgin River that created the canyon running through the area does not have a religious significance. It was named for Thomas Virgin, the first European to see it.

In 1919, the collection of rock formations with the religious names was designated a national park and named Zion, a biblical term initially associated with the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Zion National Park is second to Salt Lake City’s Temple Square as Utah’s most popular destination.

Zion National Park is the only place in the United States where government employees routinely lecture about God, angels, the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

TRAVEL Even the park’s name has religious connotations.

Through millions of years, water and wind created unique red and white sedimentary rock formations on the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Utah. In the 18th century, Mormon pioneers settled near the formations, which they thought reflected Don Knebel is a local resident the majesty of God. As a result, they called who works for Barnes & Thornthe area the “Heavenly City of God” or burg LLP. For the full column “Little Zion.” They named one formation visit donknebel.com.

Here’s a brief record of things I have lost in the past month: Keys, a charging cable for my phone, GRAMMAR GUY ChapStick, patience, earbuds, wallet, sanity, a travel mug and roughly three more charging cables. Fortunately, I can find or replace most of these things, although I’m still looking for my sanity.

I’ve received the following question several times the past few months: Can something “go missing?” This phrase, “go missing,” “gone missing” or “went missing” has crept into American usage the past few years.

First of all, it’s important to note that “go missing” is a popular British import, just like The Beatles, Downton Abbey, Simon Cowell and constant self-loathing.

The Oxford English Dictionary lumps “go missing” into a group of various other “go” phrases and expressions like “go crazy,” “go public” and “go viral.” This construction with the word “go” means something is passing into a certain condition. I knew where my keys were, then something happened, resulting in

them being lost. Therefore, my keys went missing.

What’s the problem with “go missing?”

The AP Stylebook would rather you use the words vanish or disappear. However, go missing indicates that something disappeared intentionally, unintentionally, voluntarily or involuntarily, depending on context. “The dog conveniently went missing right before her appointment at the veterinarian” gives you a clue that the dog intentionally went missing.

Go missing is idiomatic, which is a fancy way of saying it’s a slang term. This gives another strike against it to more formal writing. Personally, I’m a fan of new words and expressions. It means a language continues to evolve and recreate itself. And, if the editor of this paper disagrees with my point of view, don’t be surprised if my column mysteriously goes missing from these pages next week.

Imagine doctors who listen to you and your body.

Community has a knack for finding primary care physicians who believe patients know their bodies best. And it’s the doctor’s job to help interpret. Together then, every concern, question and doubt are understood and addressed. If that’s what you’re looking for, we hear you. That’s exceptional care, simply delivered. All from a health network that had the beautiful idea to bring them both together.
