Eleven Fifty Academy’s mission is to build an ecosystem of coding talent that financially benefits individuals, employers and the community.

With the consolidation of its Fishers location, six classes will be conducted simultaneously in the three classrooms, including three full-time day classes and three part-time night classes.

“It’s more than enough to serve the need of the area,” Huer said. “Being a tech person, being at that intersection of education and technology, I want to meet learners where they are. To me, it’s more about, how can we be where students need to be?

Chamber panel encourages leaders to promote assets

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

“Humility doesn’t allow us to tell our story effectively,” said Nicolini, former Speedway town manager.

Smith Jones said Fort Benjamin Harrison is a remarkable asset for the entire city.

“It’s a great opportunity for Lawrence to promote all the success that is going on around Fort Ben. All that economic growth, it’s a real treasure for our city,” she said.

McQuillen said schools and housing are valuable assets.

“It’s a great place for people to live, play and work,” he said.

Smith Jones said collaboration between chambers of commerce and councils is key in marketing what Lawrence has to offer.

“We have corporations from around the country and around the world saying what opportunities are there,” she said. “If the chambers know each other’s stories, it’s opportunity for exposure.”

Smith Jones said community members and leaders have to talk about what makes the area great.

“If you run into someone from Broad Ripple, there is not a gap in air for them to tell you what is special about Broad Ripple,” Smith Jones said. “You have to have the same type of pride and constantly tell your story. I al-

The consensus of a Greater Lawrence Chamber of Commerce panCOMMERCE el is the area has a great story to share. It just needs to be told more often.

A panel of Ian Nicolini, Develop Indy vice president of economic development Angela Smith Jones, Indianapolis deputy mayor of economic development, and Indianapolis City County Council Minority Leader Michael McQuillen addressed economic development issues at the Aug. 22 luncheon at Hillcrest Country Club.

Nicolini said Develop Indy, which is the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, has worked with a number of leaders from Lawrence Township.

“One of the best assets that (Lawrence) has is really successful human capital,” Nicolini said. “You have to have somebody who wakes up every day thinking what they can do to strengthen your local economy. That network plugs into this larger regional economic development framework really well.”

Nicolini said Hoosiers tend to be too humble about their accomplishments.

ways tell people, act like you’re a New Yorker.

You have not met a New Yorker who is shy or timid about the great benefits of New York City, so own your greatness. Partner with people who can help you beat the drum that, not only are you great as a region, but here is what is great and unique about Lawrence.”

Nicolini said there are several tools Lawrence can use, such as tax increment financing, tax abatements and training ground tools.

“The most important tool that you have is your network and infrastructure within economic development,” Nicolini said. “Most companies make their decision on where they are going to locate on a whole list of factors,

and incentives rank at or near the bottom. But in most cases, it’s a tiebreaker. I would say the emerging trend in incentive deployment is focused on human capital. The added benefit of that is when you focus on people, you are putting your community where it belongs, in front of the process.”

McQuillen, who has been on the council for 11 1/2 years, said Lawrence has as much to offer as any area.

“It’s just how we sell ourselves,” he said. “I think our fantastic schools are one of the true calling cards for us.”

Lawrence 5K to benefit Mission 22

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com In December 2018, Fishers resident Jay Eiteljorge became an ambassador EVENT for Mission 22, a nonprofit that provides programs for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues. Also the organizer of the Fishers Running Club, Eiteljorge decided to organize a 5K run to benefit Mission 22.

“I didn’t serve (in the military) but my dad did and a lot of friends I have known through high school are currently serving and other family members served, so I’m trying to support them anyway I can, and this seemed like a good cause to get behind,” he said.

Run for Hope is a timed race, but Eiteljorge said people are welcome to walk.

There also will be an untimed 1-mile route.

The run is at 9 a.m. Oct. 6 on the paved trails at Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park, 6000 N. Post Rd., Lawrence. The 5K is $30 and the 1-mile run is $15. Registration closes Sept. 15. Park admission is $7. Annual state park passes are accepted.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com IUPUI senior women’s soccer players Bri Denny and Sophia Lipka have SOCCER been playing together since they were 12. So, obviously, they know how each other ticks.

“She can get pretty crazy,” Denny said.

“Sometimes some of our teammates are scared to be in the way of Sophia when she is all fired up. We’ve known each other 10 years, so I’m not scared to get in front of her to cool down, walk away.”

Denny, a Noblesville High School graduate, starts as a defender and Cathedral graduate Lipka is in her third year starting as a goalkeeper.

Joining Lipka and Denny in their senior class are Jenna Sterr, Westfield High School, and Emma Chambers, Carmel High School.

Chambers plays midfield and Sterr is a defender.

“They’ve grown into four very solid, very dependable young ladies,” IUPUI coach Chris Johnson said. “They get it done in the classroom really well, too, and step up when we have volunteer service opportunities. All four players lead by example. Jenna is not the most vocal player but kind of lets her play do the talking. Emma, Bri and Sophia are all more vocal types. Sophia and Bri have a little more demanding personalities.

Emma wants to do the right thing and hold people accountable around her.”

Lipka, a Lawrence Township resident, and Denny started playing club together on FC Pride since they were 12. There were seven freshmen in their class when they started in 2016.

“This core group are people who want to stick it out, that’s why we’re here,” Lipka said. “Everybody in this class has something to bring to the table. We all work well together. All four have different personalities.

Sometimes when I’m being crazy, I need Bri to rein me in. Emma is a voice of reason.

Jenna is always tough out there and brings a lot of passion to the game. We’ve become this core group we hope our team can rely on.”

Johnson said Lipka was behind another freshman goalkeeper at first.

“That goalkeeper leaves after her freshman year and Lipka develops into one of the top goalkeepers we’ve ever had here,” said Johnson, who is in his 17th season as the Jaguars coach.

Lipka, who was the Horizon League Goalkeeper of the Year as a sophomore, said she has grown in confidence and knowledge of the game through experience.

“The more you play, the more you are able to problem-solve,” Lipka said. “I’m excited to see how this team evolves. I think it could be very special. I could see us going back to the NCAA Tournament.”

The Jaguars won the Horizon League and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2017.

“I don’t want to compare us to the team that we were two years ago because that’s not fair,” Denny said. “We have a brand new team and I feel we have good talent on the team. It’s just going to be a matter of jelling with the team on and off the field and taking every practice serious and giving 100 percent effort and work as hard as we can, so the end of the season we can walk away with rings on our fingers.”

HAMILTON COUNTY TOURISM UNVEILS ‘WHITE RIVER MONSTER’ SCULPTURE

Innovations in Joint Replacement

On Aug. 25, Hamilton County Tourism unveiled the 10-foot “White River Monster” sculpture, the subject of local lore. According to county historian David Heighway, in 1892, two men drove a wagon down Cicero Pike and claimed to have spotted a large animal in the river described as “a huge serpent 12 feet in length and perhaps 3 feet in circumference with a forked tail.” Later that month, four men found a carcass of a dead cow caught on branches in the river, which they figured to be the White River Monster. Heighway pauses by the monster sculpture, which is titled “William Herman Hamilton.” Also known as “Willie,” the sculpture will travel around the county this fall. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

It’s festival time, by George

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

The St. George Orthodox Christian Church Festival will return EVENT to the church, 10748 E. 116th St., Sept. 20-22 and will offer what Rev. Nabil Hanna calls “a heritage of faith, hospitality, good food, music and crafts from our roots in the Holy Land, the Middle East and the cultures that make up our congregation.”

Besides ethnic food booths, the festival also will feature a live Middle Eastern band, dance troupes, a children’s carnival, an indoor marketplace, pastry booth and the return of the popular silent auction.

“We are bringing it back, but it’s different than ever done before because it’s daily,” church member David Sumner said. “People can buy their items and pick them up at the end of the day. They don’t have to pick up on Sunday. There are different items each day. We’ve never done that before, and people seem to like silent auctions.”

The church’s bookstore will be open throughout the festival. Indoor church tours also will be offered.

Fesitval admission is free. Offsite parking is $5 per vehicle at Journey Lutheran Ministries, 10401 E. 116th St. Shuttles will run continuously.

Food options include gyros, kafta, chicken sharwama and falafel sandwiches, lamb shanks, hummus, baked kibbee, stuffed grape leaves and spinach pies.

Sumner estimates the festival draws 5,000 to 7,000 annually. It is open from 5 to 10 p.m. Sept. 20, 1 to 10 p.m. Sept. 21 and 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 22. For more, visit stgfest. org.

The second Cardboard Boat Regatta will be Sept. 7. This year, the Indianapolis Sailing Club will conduct the event. (Submitted photos)

SET SAIL Indianapolis Sailing Club presents second Cardboard Regatta

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Local sailors will test their skills Sept. 7 on Geist Reservoir, but COVER STORY not on traditional sailboats. Instead, they will compete in the Cardboard Boat Regatta in vessels made out of, well, cardboard.

The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Indianapolis Sailing Club, 11325 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis.

Last year, the Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. conducted the inaugural event.

This year, the Indianapolis Sailing Club is running it. Contestants are tasked with following specific rules to build a cardboard sailboat that will remain afloat during a 200-yard race on Geist Reservoir.

America’s Boating Club of Central Indiana Communications Officer Jason Settles at-

tended last year’s event as a spectator. His organization is competing this year.

“We just came out and watched it and it was great fun and everybody enjoyed it,” Settls said. “It was just fun to watch, and you’d see some people making the route and they’re sinking and they keep paddling and almost make it to the beach before they bottom out. It’s just a fun thing to root for and to watch.”

Contestants must follow strict rules.

For example, boats can only be made from corrugated cardboard. Each must have an attached sail, although it doesn’t have to propel the boat and can be made from any material. Propulsion can come from paddling or wind sail. Each event is timed, with awards given for the fastest times. There also will be other awards, such as for the longest and shortest boats that complete the course and an award for Most Spectacu-

lar Sinking.

All competitors must bring, and wear, personal flotation devices and bring their own paddles.

Settles and his team have worked on their boat for three months. The group found a business in Marion that makes cardboard boxes. The business donated material for the team’s boat.

“We said, ‘For doing that, we will put your logo on the boat,’ and they said, ‘No, that’s OK, don’t do that,’” Settles said, laughing.

Settles and his wife, Holly, will pilot their team’s boat.

“We are going to be the people who go down with the ship,” he said. “Last year, at one of the booths there was the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, so all of our groups interact with each other. We have the same boating safety concerns, and we talked with them, and this year they actu-

ally challenged us to a competition between their group and our group. We started building the boat and making plans, and then about a month ago, we got word from them that due to involvements, they wouldn’t have time to build the boat.

“So, we thought, ‘We have the boat almost built, so we were going to go ahead and compete, anyway.’”

ESSAY

LETTER

Nuanced ‘truth’

Anker column ‘thought provoking’ Editor, Throughout our family’s nearly five years in Noblesville, I had read Current rather infrequently until the past year or so. Just busy with other priorities. However, I wanted to tip my hat to (essayist Terry Anker) for writing the “Giving thanks” column April 16. It was thought-provoking and poignant for our times. I also appreciate that he offers some type of faith in his articles, and it is welcoming to see in print media.

Craig Marolf, Noblesville

Commentary by Terry Anker Checkout lines at the grocery store are the same the world over.

Rows of candy, eye-height for a 9-year-old, mark the corridor to the cash register. They share the space with numerous tabloids whose headlines grab the attention of even the most harried and distracted passerby.

As children, we come to know that just the right bit of nudging could get mom to buy us the Snickers while she is emptying our overflowing cart onto the conveyor belt. As we first master letters and then reading, the colorful headlines capture our imagination.

We promise to forego the candy if mom will throw one of the magazines into the cart with the Hamburger Helper and mac and cheese.

Soon in the car, we open the pages, eager to learn about the secret government plot to put growth hormones into our milk and make us giants equipped to fight the Russian menace. Alas, like many disappointments of our youth, we quickly learn that the headlines often don’t match the content. The “stunning” discoveries are not discoveries at all. Instead, they are carefully worded deceptions intended to tell a lie without really telling one.

Has it changed much through the decades? Media still uses the ploy to get us to look. Seemingly every restaurant and public space is festooned with countless video monitors tirelessly looped with CNN or other outlets. The screen crawls with horrific headlines, unabashedly misleading and provocative.

What a front page calls fact, the full article ultimately surrenders to be more nuanced.

Doctor will be missed

My cup runneth empty — cheers!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m luxuriating in a silent, clean, mostly empty house right now and am thrilled to report that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is pretty much HUMOR what my domestic life will look like for the next four months.

Blessed be the fruit!

In this case, the delicious fruit is college.

That’s right, friends, three of our four heirs have left the building, hopefully not returning until the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love them. But teenagers and 20-year-olds are messy, loud, expensive, meat-eating machines who are only nice to their moms when they want food or money. They bake cookies at midnight, totally unconcerned with the noise they are making while a certain mother attempts to sleep above them.

They invite their posses over for all-you-caneat buffets featuring the Wilson pantry and refrigerator/freezer. And they hoard clothes and tchotchkes like nobody’s business.

Our youngest is still around, but she is so busy with school and dance and socializing that we rarely see her. Praise be, my husband, Doo, and I are basically empty nesters.

I come home after work to a sink that holds no dishes. I go to bed enjoying an Xbox-free silence. I shop at Meijer maybe once a week.

Talk about your miracles! I can even bingewatch “The Handmaid’s Tale” in the actual living room, on the TV. People told me I’d feel sad and lonely without the general bustle of kids underfoot, that I’d miss the energy that comes from a big family coexisting under one roof.

They were liars. I love it, almost as much as I love my children. In college. Under someone else’s eye.

Peace out.

Editor, Recently, Hamilton County suffered a great loss: The well-deserved retirement of Dr. Marla Guzman.

Through the decades, Dr. Guzman provided her compassion, wisdom and clinical acumen to thousands and thousands of Hamilton County residents. How many lives have been touched, how many bodies and souls healed by this dedicated physician?

Marla, you will be sorely missed by your patients and colleagues. We wish you all the best.

Thank you for your decades of selfless service to Hamilton County.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’ve been doing it wrong for about 65 years, making the same mistake more than 24,000 times. You’ve probably HUMOR been doing it wrong, too. A TED Talk by Terry Moore demonstrates the correct way to tie your shoes.

He proves that the worldwide epidemic of laces becoming untied can be solved by a simple adjustment to how we loop our knots. It took me a few tries to do it correctly, but he’s right on the money. By the way, a frozen mummy from 3300 B.C. was found wearing the first recorded shoelaces.

They were untied. He tripped and fell off a glacier.

People are always saying, “Dick, do you know your shoe is untied?” I usually do. But after I turned 70, I decided I wasn’t reaching all the way down there unless both shoes required my attention.

I came across this TED Talk after Googling “shoelaces,” hoping to find some replacements for a pair of casual shoes I owned.

Instead of the traditional kind, these shoes came with Lock Laces, which are loops of elastic woven through the eyelets that never need to be tied. Just pull the shoe on

and it tightens automatically.

These new thingamajigs drove me crazy. I cut them off the shoes, planning to replace them with traditional laces. Since most stores don’t carry a good selection, I logged onto Amazon Prime and found a dizzying assortment of colors and styles.

Amazon allows previous buyers to write reviews about their purchases. I could see taking the time to give your opinion if you bought a TV, but shoelaces? There were hundreds of comments by people who must have nothing better to do than sit around looking at their feet. These are actual postings: “The shoelaces are thicker than I thought they’d be. What a waste of $2.”

“The laces were 36 inches, not 34. What should I do?”

While shopping online, I bought some new dress shoes. To avoid the lacing hassle, I opted for slip-ons. Am I lazy? Yes, I’m a loafer.

Natural pain remedy – If over-the-counter pain relievers cause you stomach distress, or you just want to try a natural remedy, try white willow bark. It’s a pain reliever that has anti-inflammatory benefits similar to those of aspirin, but unlike aspirin, it doesn’t appear to damage the stomach lining. It can be used as a remedy for relieving the pain of headaches, menstrual cramps, low back pain, osteoarthritis and more. White willow bark is available online and in health food stores in capsule form.

Women Helping Women fundraiser set

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A program that provides funding for a women’s clinic at HanFUNDRAISER cock Regional Hospital will conduct its 21st annual Women Helping Women fundraiser at 5 p.m. Oct. 24 at Adaggios Banquet Hall and Conference Centre, 5999 W Memory Lane.

The James T. Anderson Center for Women’s Health at Hancock Regional Hospital provides women’s care, such as mammograms, to the uninsured or underinsured with a high deductible, free of charge.

“The Women Helping Women celebration is every year to raise money for that clinic,” Hancock Health Foundation Manager Allyson Smith said. “The event has grown because when it first started, it was just in the basement of the hospital and maybe 50 people came, and we have sold out at 400 people the past couple of years.”

Last year, proceeds provided care for 198 women through the clinic. In its first year, the Women Helping Women event paid for 26 mammograms. This year’s theme is “21st

ATI newcomers eager for roles in ATI musical

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tony Carter fell in love with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” instantly.

“I was actually in high COMEDY school and saw the show on Broadway,” Carter said.

“Brian d’Arcy James was playing the role of Freddy Benson. I love the music and I grew up with the movie with Steve Martin.

It’s a fantastically challenging role. I was playing a con artist who plays a lot of different characters.

“It’s an incredibly funny role and I’m excited to bring my own personal flavor to it.”

Carter, a Chicago resident who is originally from Las Vegas, plays grifter Benson in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Sept. 6 to 29 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel Carter said he attended ATI auditions in Chicago and came down for call-backs to audition for all the shows in the 2019-20 season, which kicks off with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”

“This was my favorite and I was really gunning for it,” he said. “The songs are funny. There is a lot of quick-witted dialogue.”

Carter is acting in the Indianapolis area for the first time. Like Carter, Deborah Hill is making her ATI debut. Hill, who grew up in Lafayette and attended Anderson University, lives in Dayton, Ohio. She will play Christine Colgate.

“I was looking for theaters in the area where I could work,” she said. “I researched the show and role. It’s a great role for any actress.”

Hill said she enjoys comedic roles but doesn’t get to do them a lot.

“I usually do the serious, more ingenue roles,” Hill said. “She seems like a onedimensional character, but it takes a plot twist and I really get to delve into her. The songs are amazing. It’s a great vocal challenge for me.”

TJ Lancaster, from Kansas City, has not seen or heard the musical version of the show, which was a 1988 movie with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Bourbon trail launches editorial@youarecurrent.com September is National Bourbon Heritage Month. So Greg Kissinger, a Fishers resident who works for Republic National Distributing Co., figured a Carmel Bourbon Trail would be a good fit.

“It’s a cool, conceptional thing,” Kissinger said.

There are 22 restaurants and bars, ranging from Anthony’s Chophouse to Old Town Tavern, taking part in the trail.

Visitors can ask if there is a Bourbon Trail special at participating spots. Brands featured are Jim Beam Black, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare.

Other participants include 3 UP (above Anthony’s Chophouse), Charleston’s, The Pint Room, Convivo, Prime 47, Bar Louie, Divvy, Prodigy Burger & Bar, Brockway Public House, Donatello’s, Renaissance Hotel, The Broken Barrel, Fork & Ale House, Sahm’s Ale House, Bru Burger Bar, Matt The Miller’s Tavern, Texas Roadhouse, Burgerhaus, Nippers Grill & Tap and Woody’s Library Restaurant.

“It was a great surprise to get a chance to work on it,” said Lancaster, who is performing as suave con man Lawrence Jamieson. “I loved the movie back in the day. I love the ‘Odd Couple’ quality of highclass con man and a street con man. It’s laugh after laugh. It’s high-class comedy and goofy, vulgar comedy together. That’s what makes it so great.”

Lancaster was previously in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” at ATI in 2018.

Michael Blatt, who attended North Central High School with ATI co-founder Judy Fitzgerald, is returning to direct with ATI. Blatt, based in New York, directed “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” in 2018.

“I loved it. The show was great. It was so good to be back in Indianapolis,” Blatt said of the 2018 show. “My roots are here. I did Jr. Civic and Footlite Musicals. It was a full-circle moment to come back and work professionally here.”

Blatt has never been with a production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” but has plenty

of exposure to it.

“I was lucky enough when I was in New York, my best friend and roommate was the assistant choreographer of the Broadway show, so I got to see it a lot,” Blatt said. “I got to know all the cast members.

I got to know about the process. I’m also a personal trainer and I got to train the book writer for the show because he was one of my clients. It was interesting to be on the edges of the production.”

The cast was originally designed for 30.

“We’re doing a streamlined version of the show, but still (presenting) the whole show with a cast of 10,” Blatt said. “There are five ensemble members who rotate to play different roles. This is one of the first times they’ve done a streamline before, so we’re going to make our own version of ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.’”

Carol Worcel is the choreographer.

Fitzgerald and fellow ATI co-founder Don Farrell are part of the cast.

Marty skydives for Civic Theatre

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brent Marty decided to tackle his fear of heights for a good cause.

Marty, Booth TarkingFUNDRAISER ton Civic Theatre’s director of music and education, agreed to skydive if a bid of $1,000 could be reached. Jr. Civic parent and Civic Guild member Angela Wagner had bought the skydive gift certificate and offered a starting bid of $1,000 at a fundraiser to see Marty do the jump.

“We initially raised $2,000 at our fundraiser in June, and our Facebook initiative related to the jump itself is getting close to $1,000,” Marty said. “We hope to exceed that.

The video is getting a lot of attention from my friends and family who can’t believe I did it.”

The Carmel resident jumped out of the plane Aug. 24 at 13,000 feet on a tandem dive with a Skydive Indy instructor.

“The experienced instructors and staff at Skydive Indianapolis (based in Frankfort) were top-notch and made everything smooth and easy to understand,” Marty

said. “The experience itself was, for me, exhilarating. It did help to be doing a tandem dive with an instructor strapped on my back and in control. I’m not sure I would have taken that last step out of the plane on my own.”

Marty said he is fine inside tall buildings and isn’t afraid of being on airplanes.

“But if I’m outdoors, like on a roof of a skyscraper or the edge of a canyon, etc., I get very weak in the knees,” he said.

Marty doesn’t foresee doing it again in the near future but would consider another dive for a good cause.

Kid Kazooey to perform

UPCOMING CONCERTS

By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com Kids can enjoy high energy, family friendly rock ‘n’ roll when Kid Kazooey & the BallRoom Roustabouts hit the MUSIC stage Sept. 14 at the Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Peanut Butter & Jam series. It’s the second time the Bloomington-based group will perform at the center.

“The BallRoom Roustabouts play rock ‘n’ roll/pop music not unlike They Might Be Giants or NRBQ or the Violent Femmes, but at low volumes and with thematic material that matches our mission statement and is always all-ages appropriate,” said Kevin MacDowell, aka Kid Kazooey. “We play mostly original music, with a few choice cover tunes thrown in. Like the golden years of Sesame Street, we play first for children’s enjoyment and then aim strategically just over their heads to let their parents know we haven’t forgotten about them.”

The BallRoom Roustabouts formed when MacDowell, who had recently graduated from Indiana University and was waiting tables at restaurants in Bloomington while trying to get a foot in the door as a librarian, met a “creative and talented” musician who cooked at one of the restaurants. They had a vision to create a dance band and

play “songs of the seas” for college kids who enjoyed rowdy, acoustic music.

“We quickly discovered college kids were not interested in pirate music, but my library degree with a specialization in children’s services reminded me that little kids loved pirate picture books,” MacDowell said.

“So, we booked ourselves in the Border’s bookstore’s children’s department to share these songs and included some out-loud reading from their children’s collection.”

Tickets for the 10:30 a.m. show are $10 per child, with two free adult admissions included. For more, visit hecenterpresents. org/.

Correct grammar, Yoda’s speech is Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’ll have to admit, I don’t know much about “Star Wars.” Somehow, I missed the window to watch the GRAMMAR GUY movies during my formative years. Although I have glasses, write about grammar and prefer staying inside, my lack of “Star Wars” appreciation makes others seriously second-guess my nerd street cred.

Yoda is an awesome green Muppet who could go toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris in a head-to-head matchup.

But is Yoda’s grammar correct? His sentence structure is certainly odd. He says things like, “When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.”

Odd, that sounds. Talking like this, I don’t know why I am.

For the most part, English syntax (how we arrange our words) follows the same pattern. In order for a sentence to be complete, it needs a subject and a predicate.

The predicate always includes a verb and often includes an object.

Most English sentences follow the subject-verb-object order. In one of these popular laser sword space movies, according to Google, Darth Vader says, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” In this sentence, “I” is the subject, “find” is the verb and “lack of faith” is the object. Many other “Star Wars” quotes follow this subject-verb-object pattern. “I am your father.” “I think I just blasted it.” “Women always figure out the truth. Always.”

Yoda’s syntax follows a distinctly different pattern. For the most part, his sentences follow the object-subject-verb pattern. Let’s take this quote from Yoda: “Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” In this sentence, “wonderful” appears first, serving as the object. This is followed by “mind,” the sentence’s subject. Finally, we get the verb, “is.” Object-subject-verb. Here’s a double: “Powerful (object) you (subject) have (verb) become; the dark side (object) I (subject) sense (verb) in you.” All of these sentences contain a subject and a predicate.

Therefore, the answer to the question is: Yes, Yoda’s speech pattern is grammatically correct; strange to our ears, it just sounds.
