City receives funds from MPO

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tyler Schweitzer was ready for his pressure-packed ACCOMPLISHMENT prime-time moment.

“On the biggest stage of his life, he was probably the sharpest I’ve ever seen him and we’ve seen him pretty sharp,” Hamilton Southeastern High School firstyear coach Jeremy Sassanella said.

Schweitzer got the victory in three strong innings of relief as the Royals edged No. 3 Columbus East 3-2 in the June 17 IHSAA Class 4A state baseball championship game at Victory Field in Indianapolis. It was the first state baseball championship appearance for HSE. Following a 14-17 mark in 2018, the Royals turned it around with a 23-8 record this season.

“I can’t fathom it right now,” Schweitzer said. “I knew we had a great team coming into this year and it shows right now. Some of us seniors have been playing since we were 5 years old together.”

Other than that, he was perfect. The left-hander struck out five, including striking out the top of the order in the seventh.

Local student earns Gold Award

By Sophie Nulph news@currentinfishers.com A local high school student recently earned a Girl Scout Gold ACCOMPLISHMENT Award.

Kyra Jones, a senior at Hamilton Southeastern, was presented the Girl Scouts’ highest award June 1 at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis. The awards were part of the Girl Scout Central Indiana’s Girls of Distinction ceremony.

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the most prestigious and difficult award a girl can earn.

There are seven steps to completing the project and receiving the award. The steps are identifying an issue, investigating, building a team, creating and presenting a plan, taking action and educating others.

“I know a lot of people who start the project but don’t finish it,” Jones said.

A Girl Scout since kindergarten, Jones said she loves the experiences and friendships the organization has brought her.

“We went to Europe for two weeks,” Jones said. “In London and Switzerland, we went to the Girl Scout centers but we also looked around the cities.”

Jones’ project was working with a local

food pantry to create a cookbook, which included healthy recipes that can be made with ingredients commonly found in a food pantry. The project began in January and was completed in April.

Jones said she wanted to create the cookbook because she loved cooking and experimenting with new foods, and she often helped out at food pantries.

“My old church pastor, he moved churches and worked at this one, which had a food pantry with it,” Jones said.

Jones is now focusing on her senior year on being a thespian.

“I will likely become a lifetime Girl Scout,” she said.

6-year-old donates $300 of food

By Sophie Nulph news@currentinfishers.com

A 6-year-old Fishers student recently donated $300 worth of food GIVING BACK to a local food pantry.

Jayse Himmelberger, who will be a first-grader at Harrison Park Elementary, was introduced to food banks during his school’s service-learning project.

His class at Harrison Park Elementary went on a field trip to the Delaware Township food pantry in January. Afterward, Jamie Himmelberger, Jayse’s father, said Jayse was cleaning his room when he made a declaration to his parents.

“He was cleaning up his room and he came to my wife and I and said he didn’t want his toys anymore,” Jamie said.

Jayse told his parents he wanted to sell his toys and give the money to people who couldn’t afford food, so Jamie sold the toys on Facebook’s Marketplace with notes explaining the cause.

Jayse’s parents and grandmother agreed to match whatever funds Jayse raised. He sold $100 in toys and raised a total of $300 to purchase food.

Cherish advocates for kids

Editor’s note: Current Publishing has begun a partnership with the Hamilton County Executive Directors Group to publish a guest column each month to showcase the work being done by area nonprofits. Read more at youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Wendy Gamble

Cherish, also known as Advocates for Children and Families NONPROFIT Inc., is a nationally accredited child advocacy center and a local nonprofit. We have been helping children and families in Hamilton County since it was founded in 2009.

We exist to serve the needs of children who may have suffered sexual or physical abuse or neglect. When a child reports having been abused in some way, we at Cherish bring together our multi-disciplinary team, which includes representatives from the prosecutor’s office, law enforcement, Dept. of Child Services and a Prevail family advocate. The child then comes to Cherish, where we have forensically trained interviewers who elicit the child’s statement using research-supported, neutral, nonleading techniques. Our team strives to work together, in a caring way, to discover

truth and seek justice for kids. This is all done at no cost to any family or agency.

Before this concept was used, if a child disclosed having been abused, they might have had to tell their story several times, to several different agencies. This revictimized the child each time they had to repeat their story. Now, it can usually be done once, in a safe and supportive environment.

Previously, after reporting abuse, families often felt they were alone, with no assistance in the healing process. Now, after the interview is finished, families are referred to any mental health or other support services that might be needed, including trauma therapy. We have been asked, “Who would provide this if Cherish wasn’t able to pay for these services?” The answer is that the county would be required to fund it, which costs more than $470,000 annually.

We keep the doors open through grant money and donations. Help us provide hope for Hamilton County children.

Wendy Gamble is the executive director of Cherish. She may be contacted at wendy@cherishcac.org. Learn more about Cherish at cherishcac.org.

Highway cleanup group expands, strikes deal with INDOT

By Chris Bavender news@currentinfishers.com A casual discussion over beers nearly two years ago about litter on the ROADS highway near the Indianapolis International Airport inspired four business partners to form Interstate Business Solutions. It’s mission is to clean up interstates across the state, starting with the stretch from the airport to downtown Indianapolis.

“We felt this stretch of interstate was the first impression people are going to get and we wanted to make it a good one,” said Matt Murray, president of CleanerHighways. com. “We were able to become part of the Sponsor-A-Highway program with (the Indiana Dept. of Transportation) and started to get sponsors for select miles.”

In February and March, the company was awarded a litter contract for the Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend and Gary areas.

“This was the first litter-removal contract INDOT has ever written and awarded, so as you can imagine it has been a huge learning curve for both sides.,” Murray said. “Our company had to grow from four employees to over 80 in less than one month to prepare for the massive undertaking. We also had to figure out what equipment (trucks, vans, trailers, trash compactors, etc.) it was going

to take to safely remove the 20-plus years of litter that has piled up on the interstates.”

In its initial cycle, the company was given 60 days to haul away litter in each market. It collected an estimated 200 tons of litter, filling more than 30,000 trash bag.

Some of the work was focused around Exit 210 in the Noblesville/Fishers area.

“It took roughly 25 hours and an estimated 40 people to pick up all of the litter on the sides of the interstate and the median along I-69 from Exit 205 to Exit 210,” Murray said. “A total of 34,155 pounds and 2,277 trash bags were collected in just this 5-mile stretch.”

The work is paying off, Murray said, and has led to calls and emails to INDOT and the state about how “amazing the sides of the interstate look.”

Fishers Police Dept.

Chief Ed Gebhart discusses the need for body-worn cameras at a June 20 public information meeting. (Photos by Sadie Hunter)

Fishers PD to start body-worn camera program this year for full implementation next year

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

The Fishers Police Dept. is moving forward with its plan to begin usCOVER STORY ing body-worn cameras.

In an effort by city officials to be more transparent, a pilot program was conducted in 2018. The city then set aside funds in its 2019 budget and applied for a matching grant through the Bureau of Justice Assistance to cover the cost.

FPD Chief Ed Gebhart said the cost, which includes all cameras, technical assistance, training, storage space and other associated equipment, is just more than $1 million, to be paid during a five-year plan with the city. The grant was awarded to FPD in October 2018.

On June 20, the city conducted a panel discussion at FPD headquarters to inform the public on the body-worn camera program and how FPD will use the devices. A panel of guests from CNA Analysis & Solutions – a consulting and research company that works with police, military and other government groups – discussed the need for and use of the equipment in police departments across the nation.

IMPLEMENTATION The first phase of implementation will begin this year. Gebhart said the goal is to have all patrol officers using a body-worn camera by the end of the year and have the department fully operational with the devices by the start of 2020.

“What I have found is that our (test) use of body-worn cameras has cleared our officers of false accusations more than sent them down a road of discipline,” Gebhart said. “I think this is something that is going to help continue the great job (the officers) are already doing out on the street.”

Scot Haug, a body-worn camera expert with CNA and a former police chief from Idaho, gave a short presentation at the June 20 event.

“What we’re seeing is that body-worn cameras are set to become the norm, just like in-car video,” Haug said. “My prediction is that within the next three years, they will become the norm, and I think we’re nearly there now.

We’re seeing that most agencies have either implemented, are implementing, or are in the process of doing research for their agency.

This is not going away anytime soon.”

UNDERSTANDING USE Haug said he often comes across individuals who want to know why body-worn cameras are necessary when most police interactions already are recorded by an officer’s in-car camera.

“One provides a different perspective than the other,” he said, showing example photos of various views each piece of equipment provides.

In a routine traffic stop, Haug said a bodyworn camera provides a view of the inside of the vehicle, while the in-car camera shows the broader street view.

“My opinion is that you need both,” Haug said. “One doesn’t replace the other. The incar video is very powerful, but the body-worn camera provides a different perspective when the officer leaves the area of the car.”

Haug said he wants to be clear that bodyworn cameras don’t show every aspect of an incident for several reasons: Because of the type of lens on the camera, where the camera is worn on the officer, nighttime video quality, bad weather conditions or the direction the camera is facing versus what the officer sees or what may be happening peripherally near the officer.

But the positives of the cameras outweigh limitations, Haug said, such as improving transparency, reducing the use of force, reducing complaints and improved officer safety.

Gebhart agrees.

“Phones are already everywhere, and there’s a good chance that if you do anything (as an officer), you’re on video somewhere,” Gebhart said. “Our officers feel that way, so these cameras are them having their chance to get their perspective locked in. When it reaches public opinion, officers can be put on trial before the trial ever starts, so to speak.

So, having a video of your perspective can sometimes be the difference of how the public (views the incident.) I think it will help our officers. I think it will help our department move forward.”

A BRIEF HISTORY OF POLICE RECORDING 1960 – The first in-car video camera (on record) is used in Connecticut.

1980s – Police departments nationwide are pushed to put cameras in police cars, a focus of the MADD (then Mothers Against Drunk Driving, now Mothers Against Destructive Decisions) group at the time. In-car cameras of that era were smaller and more affordable.

1990 – The nationwide “war on drugs” advanced the use and quality of in-car cameras to document drug interdiction

stops.

1999 – Use of in-car cameras rise as national attention is brought to issues of racial-profiling traffic stops and use of force.

2000s – Use of in-car cameras are the norm.

2007-2008 – Body-worn cameras start being used in the U.S. Source: Scot Haug CNA Analysis & Solutions

ESSAY

LETTERS Eid in Fishers

Safety check Commentary by Terry Anker

The pleasure craft that find their way beyond the intercoastal waterways of our fine nation’s eastern seaboard are often equipped with what is best called a “panic button.”

While there are many retail names, essentially this small bit of technology, if depressed, will summon the nearest Coast Guard vessel to come to the rescue. It casts a lifeline to recreational boaters who find that circumstance, or their own personal or equipment limitations, have taken them past the point of no return.

They need help – and the handheld gadget summons it.

Still, it is not to be taken lightly.

Even an accidental activation of the device will bring forward all the force and glory of our federal military apparatus. Helicopters, ships and boats of every size and shape are likely to appear. And, for the boy who cries wolf, the penalties can be considerable. But in the rare instance that the storm is raging and our limits have been reached, even exceeded by considerable margin, the contraption often is a lifesaver.

Most of us will not find ourselves riding the waves of the open sea in anything smaller than a Caribbean cruising colossus. If the ship goes down, someone else is largely responsible for our safety. But when we are all alone on endless water, how are we expected to mitigate our risk? Even in our land-loving daily existence, where is our panic button? And if we press it, who will come running? Even more, have we kept the channel open and the device fully charged? If we cry out for help, do we have confidence that someone is listening?

We venture into our lives with very little worry of the risks we take. Yet, shouldn’t we occasionally check the batteries in our lifeline?

Toeing the line for dad Commentary by Danielle Wilson I was hanging with a couple of sisters-inlaw last weekend and, of course, we got to talking about our kids. While our conversation could and did go in many direcHUMOR tions – puberty, college, the latest obsession with K-pop sensation BTS – we kept coming back to the inalienable truth that children are far better behaved with dads than they are with us, the women who carried them for nine-plus months, painfully birthed them and then spent two to seven years forgoing sleep for feedings, diaper changes and debilitating anxiety.

Why? Why are our precious little angels manipulative, cajoling, brat demons perfectly willing and able to employ emotional blackmail when they’re in our presence, but are obedient, compliant, tongue-tied yes-people when they are in the company of their fathers? How are these sub-adults able to so quickly and effectively wear us down, but unable to make even a dent when dealing with their sires?

To be fair, we all acknowledged that as moms, we naturally are putty in their hands.

From the beginning, we’re just too tired to offer much resistance, and that fatigue, though it changes as children grow, doesn’t lessen with the years. When infants/toddlers/tweens/teens cry, we soothe by any means necessary. And kids are smart; they learn quickly that pushing back when mom’s around will eventually yield results, but with dad, they’re taking a risk. He hasn’t been on the frontlines of breastfeeding debacles and hormone attacks, of battling powerful emotional swings and perceived threats to our babies. He’s usually fresh to the fight, defenses in place and operating at max capacity.

Alas, we found no answers, but enjoyed laughing at our maternal weaknesses.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Don’t give up the ship!”

-James Lawrence, U.S. naval captain

Editor, Our house is filled with sweet, buttery aroma of baked cookies. Eid al-Fitr is upon us, a “Festival of Breaking the Fast.” It is an important religious holiday celebrated by millions of Muslims around the world. It marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, self-refection. And it is coming to a small but vibrant Muslim community living in Fishers.

Eid celebration in Bosnia, where I am from, was always less about religion itself and more about gathering and spreading the joy. Food was at the center of it – savory lamb dishes, delicate dolmas (meat- and ricestuffed vegetables) and burek – rolled dough filled with minced beef or vegetables. Sweets like baklava or kadaif prepared for dessert. All shared with family, friends and neighbors.

Most of us, in our previous homelands, belonged to the same fabric of society, sharing the same traditions for hundreds of years.

Now, we are part of a different community, adding to its diversity and flavors. A good community is where different cultures and traditions are embraced and celebrated. If you do not know what Eid is about and how it is celebrated, find a Muslim neighbor or a co-worker and ask, be curious about it. And if you are a Muslim, invite a non-Muslim neighbor or a co-worker to your Eid party and share the amazing food and your traditions.

May this Eid be filled with happiness, peace and new friends at your table. Eid Mubarak!

Amna Tokmo, Fishers

Reflections of a grump

Buying Selling Buying Or Or Selling A A Home?

Home?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I wrote a column about things that annoyed me, some readers called me a grump. Others wondered why HUMOR the list was so short. To validate both sentiments, here are a few things I forgot: I hate the commercial for Prevagen. This memory-enhancing supplement’s main ingredient is harvested from jellyfish — one of the only animals on the planet that has no brain. And from this blob they found something that will help my memory? I hope I remember not to waste my money.

After owning a computer for 30 years, I still don’t know what a file permission error is. Why do I need permission to file something on my own computer? And why does the computer scare the bejeebers out of me by flashing on the screen: A fatal error has occurred? How about instead: Oops, you made a teensy-weensy goof? That would work for me.

I go to Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks and I buy a cup of coffee for two or three bucks.

Nothing fancy, just a coffee. Then I go to one of several places on my errand list, like my bank, my barber or the car wash. There, the coffee is free and it’s just as good.

That’s almost a grand a year I’m wasting. A fatal error has occurred.

Sometimes when my cellphone rings, the caller ID shows: Maybe Linda or probably Bob. Apparently, if the number isn’t in my phone book, the software searches my emails for possible matches. Suggesting it could be someone I know is like reporting there’s a 50 percent chance of rain. What a big help!

This is weird. On Monday at Shapiro’s Deli, there was no chicken in my chicken soup. When I complained, they said they don’t put chicken in the chicken soup until Wednesdays. Something is not kosher there (actually, nothing really is).

Finally, I didn’t need the clerk asking, “Do you want a bag for those cough drops?”

“No thanks, they’re already in a bag.”

I have to go now. I have to chase some kids off of my lawn.

3. The antioxidants protect the skin, reduce inflammation and regulate pH levels.

4. Beta carotene boosts eye health.

5. The low calorie count helps with weight management.

Source: Naturalon.com Sunscreen tip – Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation.

Now, though, there is a healthy bread substitute. Called Barely Bread, it’s a soy-, yeast- and gluten-free, paleo-friendly bread substitute that actually tastes a lot like real bread. The texture isn’t identical to regular bread, but it is close. Available online or at Whole Foods, it’s worth trying.

Although they present only a moderate UV risk factor, much lower than tanning beds, the exposure adds up over time. If you get manicures regularly, you may want to apply sunscreen to your hands before using the lamps.

The company offers free in-home consultations and what Phil calls “end-to-end services,” including bathing, ambulation, care management and light housekeeping.

Fulton embraces Songbook Academy — again

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Imitation, the saying goes, is the sincerest form of flattery. But Peter Fulton was never trying to flatter when he MUSIC imitated the silky-smooth style of a famous crooner. Rather, he was trying to mirror what works for an acclaimed artist - an approach he now realizes isn’t the best for creating his own singing identity.

That was the No. 1 lesson he learned at last year’s Songbook Academy.

“A big takeaway from last year is the importance of being original, of making a song your own,” said Fulton, a Fishers resident who has been selected again to participate in the summer music intensive.

“Previously, I had been mimicking the style and song selection of Michael Bublé, but since then I’ve learned to explore different styles and artists.”

Fulton, 17, is one of 40 students from across the U.S. participating in the 2019 Songbook Academy, a seven-day program that runs July 13 through July 20 at the Great American Songbook Foundation’s headquarters in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

A senior at Colonial Christian School in Indianapolis and winner of 2018 CarmelFest Has Talent’s 16-and-under division for vocalists, Fulton plans to refine what he learned last year while digging further into the popular songs and jazz standards of the early 20th century which comprise the Great American Songbook.

“Last year was great. I made a lot of new friends, discovered a lot of great songs and had the chance to learn from the best performers there are,” Fulton said. “I hope to learn a lot and practice well so that I can perform better than I did last year.

More importantly, I hope to meet and stay in contact with a bunch of new friends.”

Celebrating its 10th year, the Songbook Academy, open to students ages 14 to 18, affords participants the opportunity to work closely with music industry professionals, including award-winning singers and performers as well as instructors from some of the nation’s top university music and theater programs.

This year’s lineup of mentors includes Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/ actress Melissa Manchester; Broadway actress/singer Laura Osnes; two-time Grammy-winning singer Sylvia McNair; Tony Award-winning actor Michael McElroy; New York-based singer/pianist/composer Nat Zegree; and five-time Grammy nominee and Great American Songbook Foundation founder Michael Feinstein.

“This year we have an incredible lineup of mentors for our 10th anniversary,” said Renée La Schiazza, manager of programs and communications for the Great American Songbook Foundation. “For aspiring vocalists who love music, Songbook Academy is one of the most unique and life-changing arts education experiences offered annually to high school students from across the nation.

“The Songbook Academy is certainly an unforgettable experience for the nation’s young talent.”

Fulton is one of eight Indiana high school students, including six from Hamilton County, selected for the 2019 Songbook Academy. The other local students are Jack Ducat (Carmel High School), Sydney Greene (CHS), Morgan Koontz (CHS), Griffin Scott (CHS), Cynthia Kauffman (Zionsville Community High School), Grace Tucker (ZCHS) and Samantha Shelton (Avon/Herron High School).

“My first year was life-changing, and I couldn’t bear not to try out again,” Fulton said. “Since I’m a senior, this is my last chance, so I can’t let it go to waste.

I appreciate how the academy focuses on teaching music rather than hosting a competition. It shows that the staff and mentors truly love the Songbook and care about us students.”

Fulton’s post-high school plans are to study 3-D modeling and animation at IUPUI. For more, visit thesongbook.org.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Elvis Costello will bring his band, The Imposters, to the Palladium Nov. 16 for their debut appearance at the Center for the Performing Arts.

The Grammy winner and Oscar nominee has collaborated with artists Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, The Brodsky Quartet, Allen Toussaint, The Roots, and his wife, jazz pianist Diana Krall.

The concert is part of the Center’s new Encore Series, a multi-genre schedule featuring performances added throughout the season.

Teen advances to semifinals

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

It was actually the second time that proved to be the charm for Kaylee JohnsonBradley and MUSIC the CarmelFest Has Talent competition.

“A few years ago, I auditioned and unfortunately didn’t get past the first round,” Johnson-Bradley Johnson-Bradley said. “Recently, a woman came up to me after one of my performances at school and suggested that I try out again. I did, and now I’m through to the next round. The experience so far has been pretty uplifting, so I can see myself coming back in the future.”

Johnson-Bradley, a 17-year-old McCordsville resident who will be a senior at Mt. Vernon High School, will perform as a semifinalist in the 17 to 20 division from 3 to 5 p.m. July 3 on the Gazebo Stage. There are four age divisions, 12 and under, 13 to 16, 17 to 20 and 21 and older. The top three in each division advance to the finals at 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. July 4.

21

Johnson-Bradley has loved to perform since a young age.

“I really like the feeling of moving an audience and taking them on a journey through the performance,” she said. “I believe that is what I’m most excited for, to perform in front of an audience and take them on a journey through the song.”

She plans to sing “Fight Arena Song” by Rachel Platten.

Alyson Arena, 11, also made the semifinals in her second try. Arena, who has a Zionsville address but lives in Carmel, will be a sixth-grader at Creekside Middle School in August. Arena is eager to perform in front of the CarmelFest audience.

‘Of course, I would love to win CarmelFest and it would be amazing, but I’m just proud of myself for actually being a semifinalist even when I did not make the cut last year,” Arena said. “I am overall proud of myself for making it here, and all that matters is that I try my hardest and have fun.”

Arena will sing “You Say” by Lauren Daigle.

Blueprint for Improvement: Old Northside bathroom gets update Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

By shifting the location of the door and pushing the vanity back, we were able to open up the space and add a freestanding tub.

1. The tilework is really the star of the show in this bathroom. The combination of patterns and hues (including herringbone, penny and crayon-shaped tiles) lends incredible interest and style.

2. Beautifully coordinated accessories – from the Moravian star hanging pendant to the faucets and mirrors – in a stylish champagne bronze finish add to the “wow” factor.

3. Wall sconces were added to soften the light reflected in the mirror.

4. A quartz countertop and painted maple cabinetry round out the features of this stunning bathroom makeover.

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This stunning loft is in the Old Northside neighborhood of Indianapolis.

Built in 1901, the building originally housed the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. In recent years, the space has been divided and sold as individual lofts.

THE CHALLENGE The master bathroom was nicely finished; however, it didn’t have a bathtub, which was a “must-have” for these homeowners.

The goal was to create space for a relaxing soaker tub while keeping the shower and amping up the style.

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Reconstructed slave cabin at Monticello. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jefferson’s moral contradictions Commentary by Don Knebel Thomas Jefferson, who wrote that “all men are created equal,” owned 600 slaves during his lifetime and fathered children with one of them. The guardians of Jefferson’s famous Virginia estate have recently confronted these contradictions.

Jefferson inherited from his father a 5,000-acre plantation near Charlottesville, Va., and the enslaved individuals working there. In 1769, five years after taking control of the property, he began building a house atop a hill he called “Monticello,” a project that continued, off and on, for 40 years. Some of Jefferson’s slaves, who lived in cabins along a road southeast of the house called “Mulberry Row,” helped with the construction. When Jefferson’s wife Martha died in 1782, he gained ownership of Sally Hemings, the daughter of Martha’s father and Elizabeth Hemings, one of her father’s slaves. Jefferson took his deceased wife’s half-sister with Notice of Self Storage Sale Please take notice Prime Storage - Fishers Ford Dr. located at 12650 Ford Dr., Fishers, IN 46038 intends to hold a sale to sell the property stored at the Facility by the below list of Occupants whom are in default at a Auction.

him to France when she was 14 and, according to accounts at the time, there made Sally his concubine. She eventually bore Jefferson six children, four of whom, including Madison Hemings, lived into adulthood.

The Thomas Jefferson Foundation has owned Monticello since 1923. Until recently, its guided tours of the property made little mention of slavery and no acknowledgement that Sally Hemings was the mother of Jefferson’s children. Today, however, a 45-minute slavery tour begins at a reconstructed log cabin along Mulberry Row, emulating a cabin occupied by John Hemings, Sally’s half-brother. In 2018, the Foundation opened an exhibit in a small room in the south wing of the main house, where Sally Hemings may have lived. Relying on DNA evidence and the recollections of Madison Hemings, writings near the door state unequivocally that “Sally Hemings bore children fathered by her owner.” As the writings note, at Monticello “we can find the absolute best, and the absolute worst, that we have been as Americans.”

The following is a scenario based on real events. Any names have been changed to avoid embarrassment and grammar shaming.

GRAMMAR GUY My friend, Ann, drives a van. Ann drives a tan van, and she’s married to Stan, but this story isn’t about him. It’s about Ann and her tan van. One day, Ann’s tan van was uncommonly tawny in its hue because, you see, it was dirty. “My van needs washed,” Ann surmised.

As soon as Ann said this, my ears felt as if they were going to explode. I resisted the urge to correct her, because we were with a group of people, and I try to avoid correcting people’s grammar in public.

If Prince Hamlet wondered, “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” then my question is: What happened to ‘to be’?

You see, Ann’s tan van needed to be washed. It didn’t “need washed,” as she declared. In this case, “washed” is what’s considered a passive participle, and it requires the infinitive phrase “to be” in order to pass grammar muster.

I know this omission of “to be” doesn’t only happen in Indiana; this may very well be a Midwestern grammar faux pas. I’m interested to see if readers from outside the Midwest hear this ear-splitting construction. If not, send me an email with your regional grammar issue.

Besides “need,” I’ve also heard this phraseology used with the words “want” and “like.” For instance: My pet bear wants scratched. My son likes fed multiple times per day. As I type this, my word processor’s squiggly red line is having a field day. My pet bear wants to be scratched. My son likes to be fed multiple times per day.

I’m not sure what caused the omission of “to be.” Maybe high school students don’t appreciate being forced to read Shakespeare in their English classes, so they’ve begun a rebellion and have answered Prince Hamlet with a resounding “not to be.”
