Burger Study and 1933 Lounge are the first two restaurants to commit to The Yard, a 17-acre, $40 million culinary and entertainment development project in Fishers. (Submitted image)

First two restaurants named for The Yard

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers has unveiled the first two restaurants at The Yard, a 17-acre, $40 million culinary and development entertainment development project on 116th Street off of I-69.

Burger Study and 1933 Lounge are the first two restaurants to commit to developing at The Yard, the city stated on Dec. 13. Both are under the umbrella of the St. Elmo Steak House company.

Fadness “1933 (Lounge) from St. Elmo is coming to open up shop at (The Yard),” said Craig Huse, co-owner of St. Elmo and 1933 Lounge. “That’s going to be in July of (2019), and not only are we bringing a piece of St. Elmo to Fishers, but we’re also going to open up our adult burger concept at Burger Study. The concept of Burger Study is a (tip) of the hat to an Ivy League school environment, but the food, the burgers are all USDA prime.

Said Mayor Scott Fadness, “They’re the type of burger you would make or ask for if you had a last-meal type of thing. It’s all prime beef. It comes out of northern Indiana.

The ingredients are just top-shelf.”

“Fishers residents time and time again have told me they want local or regional

culinary experiences, and at St. Elmo (the) entire branch of restaurants are an iconic part of the culinary scene here in central Indiana.”

Huse said in the announcement that it was a “natural move” for the company to expand in Fishers.

“The 1933 bar is a historic part of downtown Indianapolis,” Fadness said. “When you think about The Yard and coming up to the suburbs, for our community to have these types of places where our residents can engage and go out with some friends Huse and have a conversation or maybe do some business, I mean I think that’s really a part of what the future of retail looks like in communities.”

Chelsea Hudelson, retail marketing coordinator with Thompson Thrift Retail Group, said the restaurants will be separate. Burger Study will face 116th Street toward the front of the development and 1933 Lounge will face the green space in the development.

Burger Study is expected to be approximately 6,000 square feet and 1933 Lounge approximately 5,000 square feet.

Hudelson said she didn’t know the costs of the development or the number of employees each would hire. Both restaurants are expected to be open by 2019 with a groundbreaking scheduled for next year.

Christmas Eve services – New Hope Presbyterian Church, 12550 Brooks School Rd., will hold services on Christmas Eve as follows: 10 a.m. – regular worship; 5 p.m. –family service for families with small children; 7 p.m. - celebration service with candlelight and child care available; 9 p.m.

Legislators hold Q&A session

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Three state senators and a state representative gathered Dec. 9 in Fishers to answer questions government from the public about legislative topics and other concerns. The question-and-answer town hall meeting included topics on early kindergarten enrollment, absentee voting, the overcrowding of the Hamilton County Jail and more.

Reducing the age of kindergarten enrollment Members of the public raised concerns about the age 7 requirement for kindergarten enrollment, fearing it might lead to students falling behind further in their school career.

“We did increase the number of students in our pilot pre-K program in the budget last session, but this is a non-budget year,” Rep. Todd Huston (R-Fishers) said. “I’m not sure why I would understand for someone to wait until (age) 7 to enroll. The parent may have a reason why they believe waiting is more important to the student. I am not seeing a bunch of data (on the issue).

I want to make sure I understand that before I vote on it. There may be a legitimate reason why a parent feels their child isn’t ready at 5 or 6 (for kindergarten).”

“I understand the value of kids not falling behind because it’s very difficult to catch up,” Sen. Victoria Spartz (R-Noblesville) said.

“As a college professor, I’ll tell you if my students are behind in my class, I only have so much time.”

Absentee voting Members of the public questioned removing the requirement to provide a reason to absentee vote. Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) said it is important to make voting easier.

“We need to make it a lot simpler so

you’re not running home at 6 p.m. and missing voting. It’s a privilege and a right,” he said.

Sen. John Ruckelshaus (R-Indianapolis) agreed but is looking into a no-fault absentee ballot bill.

“We have been talking a lot about that, a no-fault an absentee ballot bill, so that when you do file for absentee ballot you don’t have to check a reason,” he said.

Spartz raised concerns about potential voting fraud.

“I think that is an issue that seems most prevalent is the amount of fraud that happens by absentee voting,” Spartz said. “We have to look and make sure is it necessary, how it is addressed. We want to make sure everyone can vote, but we want to make sure this right is exercised to people who have the right.”

Overcrowded jail Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt raised concern about Hamilton County Jail’s overpopulation of 385 inmates. Capacity is 296.

Huston raised the possibility of regional jails as opposed to traditional county jails.

“The intent of community corrections is to align other alternative ways to treat people while serving time. I think there’s a balancing of that,” Huston said. “Finally, should each county have its own jail or should we have a jail that serves multiple counties? One of the aspects of community corrections is to insure people who are incarcerated are getting the help they need.”

“It would be wise to put together a regional incarceration system which would be very efficient,” Merritt said.

Spartz agreed and noted the cost efficiency of a regional jail.

The legislative session is in a non-budget year, and Spartz said town hall meetings can spark conversation about important issues in the county and state. For more, visit iga.in.gov.

Brinegar talks poll results, 2018 legislative session

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Despite recovering from knee surgery, Indiana Chamber CEO and Noblesville resident Kevin Brinegar presented a state preview of the 2018 Legislative Session Dec. 8 at Conner Prairie in Fishers.

Brinegar said he expected the 2018 session to be relatively quiet. He opened the event with results from a statewide poll of Indiana voters regarding business, government and more. The poll was completed last month.

Poll results: One poll questions was: What is the most important issue facing Indiana?

“We wanted to see what was on voters’ minds,” Brinegar said of the survey.

In response, 15 percent of Hoosiers claimed the most important issues facing Indiana were education and schools. Fourteen percent said the economy and jobs.

Eight percent said health and welfare and 6 percent said transportation growth.

The survey also reflected that a majority of Hoosiers support a fuel tax increase for road funding, alcohol sales on Sunday and cold beer sales and raising the cigarette tax to discourage smoking.

2018 Legislative Session: Brinegar outlined projected highlights for the 2018 Legislative Session, including the focus on K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses statewide.

“We are pleased the governor is talking about computer training courses for K-12, and we would like to openly see a course requirement in high school (for computer training),” Brinegar said. “We don’t take course requirements lightly because we know there are enough of them already, and time is the most valuable resource in the K-12 setting. We are not talking a high level, but introducing kids to coding, introducing how to use Microsoft office products, like PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheets. I know many, if not all, schools in Hamilton County have those courses already available, but that’s not the case in many places around the state.”

During a question-and-answer session, Westfield Chamber of Commerce President Jack Russell asked Brinegar how agricultural courses might integrate with STEM programs, providing Beck’s Hybrids as an example of the county’s agriculture ties.

Beck’s Hybrids is a seed company based in Atlanta, Ind. “It definitely needs to be a part of (STEM),” Brinegar said. “Indiana is an agricultural state, and Beck’s Hybrids is an amazing facility with incredible technology and research going on in the agricultural field, and it’s a great place for young people who are achieving STEM degrees to go into.

It’s not your grandfather’s farm anymore, for sure.”

Another topic was increasing the legal smoking age from 18 to 21 to discourage smoking for high school students and reduce the number of lifelong smokers.

“The vast majority of people who smoke throughout their lifetimes start before age 21,” Brinegar said. “If (the requirement) is 21, you won’t have 18-year-old (students) in high schools hanging out with 15-, 16-, 17-year-old (students). We will reduce our smoking rate. We want the cigarette tax to increase, but that is more likely to happen in 2019 than 2018.”

Other 2018 Legislative Session items Brinegar previewed included civil justice for transparency in asbestos claims, better planning for a statewide water and wastewater plan and offering a workshare program to employers.

Fishers utilizes Ball State students for visual arts center design

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

What’s next

As the City of Fishers continues its accelerated growth, adding a culinary center, The Yard, and going through cover story the process of Fishers Sports Pavilion, the city still is lacking one major developmental concept: A space for the performing arts.

The Fishers Arts Council recognized the need and sought help from Ball State University architecture students to envision and design what a community arts facility might look like.

The Ball State University Gray College of Architecture and Planning professor Tim Gray decided to integrate the design process into the curriculum for his third-year studio class.

“We were made aware of this opportunity through Daniel Kloc, the president of Fishers Arts Council, and anytime we have the opportunity to align our students with realworld projects, we like to do that and create a learning experience with them,” said Gray, an Indianapolis resident. “This was a great opportunity to partner with Daniel and (the Fishers Arts Council) and have students interact with folks in the community who were actually planning to not do this exact building, but promote this idea and hoping to bring to light what this might be.”

Students in Gray’s class work on two projects throughout the semester. Students followed the process of what actually creating a visual arts center in Fishers would be like.

The Fishers Arts Council is working on future steps for bringing a visual arts center to the city.

The six models will be on display on the second floor of Fishers City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr., beginning Jan. 9. The display is in conjunction with Art in City Hall.

“As president of the Fishers Arts Council, past member of the Fishers Advisory Plan Commission, and as past chairman of the Town Center Planning Committee that developed and promoted our downtown districts, I am overwhelmingly pleased with the tremendous progress that our city leadership has leveraged in developing downtown Fishers and the surrounding city areas, and the sense of livable community that has been established where Fishers is not only a place to work and live, but also a place to be artistic,” Fishers Arts Council President Daniel Kloc said. “This student project further emphasizes architecture as one of the arts and Fishers as an epicenter for many future creative venues.”

Hope Disbro examines her project. (Photo by Amy Pauszek)

Fritz Kreutzinger, owner of Fritz in Fishers, 8599 E. 116th St., allowed students to explore his space as a possible location for the arts center.

“We met with our project partners and went down to Fishers and visited the site and had a discussion about what the project might include,” Gray said. “From there, students generated ideas and worked in groups and came up with different ideas of how they might create buildings that would satisfy the programs we identified.”

On Dec. 6, students showcased their final designs at an open house at Meier Najem Construction. Hope Disbro, a 2015 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate and a student in Gray’s class, participated in the

architectural display. She worked with two other students to complete the project.

Disbro and her group used elements of a black box theater, an art studio, music practice room, micro-galleries, art galleries displayed in the lobby and adequate landscaping around the project. Their proposal was for approximately 15,000 square feet.

Disbro embraced the real-world experience of completing a major project.

“This, I think for most of us, was the first real-world project we had ever done,” Disbro said. “It was really putting you into the atmosphere of what the profession is going to be. It was like, ‘OK, this is actually what I’m going to be doing, and I actually like it.’”

Her will didn’t outline her wishes for the silver service. And, no one has ever liked Tom – except for Grandma. Besides, we think he was probably taking advantage of her. The same story plays out, big and small, anywhere that there are humans. Even if we are provided with a clear directive, do we have the right, moral or otherwise, as the living to co-opt the authority, wishes and even possessions of others?

We good folks of planet Earth like to imagine that each generation exceeds the one that came before us. Some might argue that we evolve. Old heroes are debunked.

Treasured possessions are considered outdated or quaint. And, we work to add our own “improvements” to the fashion of previous generations.

We laud the wisdom of certain political and other leaders – then, the style shifts.

The once vaunted is now dismissed as irrelevant, or worse. Art, literature, architecture, sport and education all yield to the force of popular opinion and fad.

Founder, patriarch, matriarch and great thinker, all are challenged, replaced and then, again, renewed. Is respect for antecedent a moral imperative? Or, is it only a suggestion? When is change required by physical circumstance, and when is our own conceit to usurp the rightful authority of another surging? Founder’s intent may not be dispositive; but likewise, it cannot be casually dismissed. One imagines that Grandma had her intentions – and those certainly belonged to her.

Sometimes, I’m jealous of friends who have both sets of parents in town. They get a stronger showing at violin humor recitals and increased moral support when teenagers start wrecking cars.

That said, I’m thrilled that I only have one family nearby around the holidays! I can’t tell you how many people I know who completely stress out, not because of the frenzy to find the perfect scarf for the secret Santa who doesn’t like chocolate (what?), but because they can’t take the emotional toll that comes with trying to please their own parents and the in-laws.

My clan is in Kentucky, so when the rugrats/presents became too numerous to schlep, we simply announced: “We are henceforth and forever more staying put for Christmas.” Fights over where to spend the 24th, which grandparents get to see the kids first on Christmas morning and which family is ultimately being shortchanged are virtually non-existent in the Wilson abode.

Don’t get me wrong. I still miss partaking in the Morris family holiday extravaganza.

Christmas Eve mall shopping, late-night movie re-enactments of “Mommy Dearest” and my British brother-in-law’s famous roast beef feast will always mean “Christmas” to me. But giving ourselves permission to celebrate with one family at a time has been a wonderful annual Christmas present to ourselves, and one we plan to continue for many years to come.

Good luck to everyone splitting the holly days. And if you see a ginger-headed teen in a white mini-van, beware! Peace out.

Dragonwood enhances market Commentary by the Fishers Winter Farmers Market There’s only one place to be on Saturday mornings in Fishers. The Fishers Winter Farmers farmers market Market hosts nearly 25 vendors that offer Indiana-grown produce, fresh baked goods and other local items.

This winter, new vendor Dragonwood wants to help shoppers stop and appreciate the bees.

Dragonwood is a small family owned and operated farm in Tipton County.

But not until daughter Abigail embraced her entrepreneurial spirit did the family realize the potential on its property. The family started hobby beekeeping in 2004.

In 2009, it started taking honey to the Kokomo Farmers Market, where Abigail sold craft dolls at age 11.

Now, in addition to keeping more than 100 honeybee hives, the Gerig family taps maple trees and creates delicious treats from these natural sweeteners. During the winter market, Dragonwood sells raw honey and pure maple syrup. Besides the traditional pure products, each week it

The Gerig family began hobby beekeeping in 2004. (Submitted photo)

also brings a select inventory of flavored creamed honey, infused maple syrups and more.

Stop by the Winter Farmers Market every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon and sample Dragonwood’s delicious honey and maple syrup while learning more about the farm. The Winter Farmers Market is at the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park building. The first 100 shoppers receive a reusable shopping bag.

Ghost of Christmas presents Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Part II of my favorite Hammacher Schlemmer offerings over the past 10 years.

The Best Talking Scale: This humor device speaks English, Spanish, Greek and Croatian. The good news is that the weight reading is very accurate. The bad news is that it starts with a joke: “One at a time, please,” which apparently is still funny in Croatia.

Instant Pickleball Set: Sets up in the yard in minutes. It combines the skills required for badminton, table tennis and regular tennis. We can all agree that when we want spur-of-the-moment enjoyment, the first thing we think of is combining three sports we are bad at. By the way, the national pickleball champion has been accused of deflating the balls in competitions. In pickleball, this is just not kosher.

Fold-away Adult Bunk Beds: Great for parents who are preparing their teenagers for life in a penitentiary. HS claims it can be put together and taken apart without tools, which is important since there are no screwdrivers and hammers available in maximum security. The manufacturer says the beds are guaranteed for life, so don’t waste this set on

a kid who only aspires to petty larceny.

The Spinning Spaghetti Fork: Tired of driving to Olive Garden and paying $12 for an entrée, only to have to actually twirl the spaghetti on your fork yourself? The spinning fork has “a thumb-activated button that turns the device at 22 rpm…and it fits neatly in your mouth without creating a mess.” The exact same description is on the next page for their electric toothbrush, which is $75 more expensive.

The Buffet Eaters’ Wine Glass Holder: This device allows you to hang your filled wine glass around your neck, leaving your two hands free to stuff tiny quiches and pigs-in-a-blanket in your mouth.

The Selfie Toaster: After you send a photo of yourself to the manufacturer, they mail you a customized heating insert that imbeds your likeness onto the toasted bread. Many women returned the item, claiming they looked old and wrinkled, but that’s because they were using English muffins.

Chronic tendon pain is the most common problem I see in my office. Unfortunately, it is almost always sports medicine misdiagnosed. In most cases, the problem actually is a tendinopathy or tendinosis, not a tendinitis.

In healthy tendons, the fibers appear like a bundle of dry noodles. When tendons sustain micro tears, our bodies attempt to heal themselves by weaving in new fibers. These fibers might not run correctly, which causes the tendon to become more of a twisted mop-like structure. This makes the tendon more structurally unsound and causes increased pain. To compensate, the tendon often thickens, and a lump can form.

A diagnostic ultrasound usually shows there is little inflammation, so the designation of an “itis,” which indicates inflammation, is inappropriate. As a result, antiinflammatories like ibuprofen or Aleve do little to alleviate the pain. Injections of corticosteroids, a powerful anti-inflammatory, can be harmful when injected directly into the tendon because it can cause the tendon to wear out quicker and even rupture. I

perform these steroid injections sparingly and always guide the injection using ultrasound in order to inject near the tendon, rather than directly into it to avoid these complications.

Eccentric strengthening, which involves strengthening the tendon as it lengthens, and cross-friction massage, a type of deep tissue massage technique, through physical therapy are recommended treatment options. Our goal is to revert the tissue from a mop back into a noodle. When these treatments fail, platelet-rich plasma injections, covered in a previous Current issue, can be performed. An alternative treatment, which uses a vibrating needle to break up the diseased mop-like tissue and remove it via a small incision, also has proven to treat the issue.

By properly diagnosing and treating these chronic problems, you will save time and pain when it comes to those nagging injuries.

Fishers resident Montieth's book explores birth of the Pacers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It was a book more than 25 years in the making.

Mark Montieth began collecting interviews for a book in 1990.

“I was going to do a book about the nine years of the ABA,” he said.

At that time, Montieth was primarily a freelance writer with a stint working for a book publisher after leaving the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. He began working for The Indianapolis News in 1994, which merged with The Indianapolis Star in 1995.

The News closed in 1999.

“I became the Pacers beat writer in 1996-97, and there was no time for it,” said Montieth, a Fishers resident. “When you did get time off, you didn’t feel like working on a book. So, I would pick it up and then put it down. I was able to use some of my travel for the beat to interview some people. Once, when the Pacers played at Minnesota, I went over to George Mikan’s house.”

Eventually, Montieth gathered lots of interviews but had way too much for one book.

Finally, he settled on the start of the Indiana Pacers franchise and the return of pro basketball to Indianapolis. The book “Reborn” was released in September.

“I wanted to get something out this season for the 50 years,” said Montieth, who left The Star in 2008 and has written for Pacers.com since the 2012-13 season. “So, I narrowed it down to the formation since I had so much material from that.”

The Indianapolis Olympians were the city’s second pro basketball team. They were a founding member of the NBA in 1949 and folded in 1953. The Pacers arrived in 1967-68.

Montieth said he was lucky to get the files of John DeVoe, one of the founders and second team president. DeVoe died of a heart attack at a Pacers’ home game in 1968.

“I got his scrapbook with stories from all over the state from his brother, Chuck,” Montieth said. “That gave me some real insight on how the franchise and the league came together.”

Chuck DeVoe, another Pacers co-founder, died in 2013.

Fortunately, through the years Montieth transcribed the interviews as he went along.

“I had computer printouts of everything and I had them on floppy discs,” Montieth said. “A couple of the printouts I lost.

They weren’t crucial but they would have been nice to have.

Someone like Mike Storen I talked to a half-dozen times, both in person and on the telephone.”

Storen was the Pacers’ first general manager and later commissioner of the ABA. Montieth said he wants to write two more books, one on the pro teams before the Pacers and another on the Pacers’ three championship seasons in the ABA. “With those early years, you’re talking about guys that drove to games in cars. They would get home at 4 in the morning and get up a couple of hours later and go to work,” Montieth said.

The Olympians featured stars Ralph Beard and Alex Groza, who were banned from the league after the University of Kentucky point-shaving scandal.

Oliver Darden left Michigan law school to play for the Pacers on their first team. Darden, who played collegiately for Michigan, was a third-round pick of the Detroit Pistons in 1966 but was unimpressed with the offer.

Darden, a 73-year-old Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., resident, played that first season with the Pacers. After playing with the New York Nets and Kentucky Colonels, he returned to the Pacers for the 1969-70 season.

“Mark has inspired me to write a book of my own,” Darden said. “It’s easier talking about it. Writing it is hard.”

Students consider film project

Heartland awards sponsor of the year

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School junior Joey Schmidt comes from a family of movie buffs.

“We always watch movies on film the weekends,” Schmidt said. “I took this (filmmaking) class, and now there is an opportunity for us to make our own movie. It’s pretty cool.”

Professional filmmakers John Armstrong and Zachary Spicer presented their Project Pigasus, a statewide scriptwriting contest for high school students, at CHS for the second year. The deadline for the Project Pigasus short screenplays is Jan. 25. It’s 12 pages of script, and Armstrong said the films are eight to 10 minutes long.

senior Lacey Farrow said. “I may enter the contest. I have to think about a story first. I might try to get a partner to do it with me.”

Schmidt said he asked a lot of questions and is considering writing a script with a friend, too.

“I kind of have an idea but I have to talk it through,” Schmidt said. “It’s nice to have someone to talk it through.”

Armstrong said there were “60 entries from Elkhart to Evansville” last year.

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept condo Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background info: This condo in the Tarkington Tower of Indianapolis was the perfect new home for the owners who were looking to downsize from a large home. However, the new space was much smaller than what they were used to.

The goal was to create a space for the owners to comfortably downsize from their previous home.

1. The biggest transformation came from removing several walls that divided the kitchen from the dining room and living room and raising the height of the ceilings to make the space appear larger.

2. Expanding the footprint of the kitchen into the previous dining room allowed room to add cabinetry with more functional storage, and an island for more countertop space.

3. Relocating the laundry room from the kitchen to a closet in the guest bathroom created space for a casual dining area.

4. In addition, three bathrooms were updated throughout the condo, incorporating many elements for aging in place.

5. For more details, visit our blog!

After

Before problems The floorplan was not functional. It was very tight and confined, especially in the kitchen. The kitchen and multiple bathrooms throughout the condo needed an update. The overall floorplan was boxy and divided, and the homeowners wanted an open concept.

Westminster Abbey’s historic remains Commentary by Don Knebel Westminster Abbey is probably the most famous church in England, in part because of its colorful royal weddings. It also holds the remains of 1,000 years of travel English history.

In 960 A.D., Benedictine monks established an abbey named for Peter, west of the River Thames. In about 1050, Edward the Confessor rebuilt the abbey as his royal burial church, becoming the first of 17 monarchs buried in what is officially the Collegiate Church of St. Peter at Westminster. The current building, just west of the Palace of Westminster, the seat of Parliament, was begun in 1245. The Gothic Revival western towers were completed in 1745. Until the 19th century, the church was an important center of learning, famous for having housed translators of the King James Version of the Bible.

Beginning with William the Conqueror in 1066, all coronations of English kings and queens have taken place in Westminster Abbey. In 1296, King Edward I brought back from Scotland the famous stone of scones, which he placed into a wooden coronation chair. In 1950, the stone was stolen and

broken by four Scottish students. It was soon recovered, repaired and restored to its rightful place in the chair, last used in the coronation of Elizabeth I in 1953.

Each year, more than 1 million people visit Westminster Abbey, now a World Heritage site, often searching for the names of the more than 3,000 people buried or commemorated there. Many of England’s most illustrious citizens are interred in the nave, including Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Ben Johnson, who was buried upright.

Stockings inside the fireplace Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt When you hang your stockings by the chimney with care, do you hang them inside your fireplace, grammar guy ensuring they’ll achieve flambe status before midnight? I’m guessing you hang stockings outside the fireplace. Only you can prevent stocking fires.

This holiday tip hardly seems like a hack to help you remember something that seems so obvious, but I’m about to apply it to punctuation.

In the same way you always hang your Christmas stockings on the outside of your fireplace, in most of your writing, you should always put quotation marks on the outside of your punctuation. This applies to a majority of your writing (not all). For instance, you should always put quotation marks outside commas and periods: “I encouraged Buddy to meet his Etch-a-Sketch quota today,” Ming Ming, the North Pole foreman, reported to Santa. “Alas, he only completed 85.” The quotation-marks-insidepunctuation rule also applies to question marks and exclamation points.

PH A N TOM SH E A RED BE AV ER COAT WITH H OOD

Westminster Abbey from London Eye. (Photo by Don Knebel)

If you’re wondering why you see the exact opposite rule applied by people who practice British English, that’s because after they unfairly taxed us without allowing for American parliamentary representation, we pretty much decided to do things the opposite way of the British out of spite.

Some notable (albeit more rarely used) exceptions to this rule include quotation marks with dashes, colons and semicolons.

I’ve heard you say, “I don’t believe in Santa”― but as for grandpa and me we believe. Almost everyone in Central Park was singing along to “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town”; when Buddy’s dad joined in, Santa’s sleigh had enough Christmas spirit to fly.

For most of your writing, pretend quotation marks are cute little Christmas stockings, and take care to hang them outside the fireplace.

Doing so will severely limit your Christmas Eve chimney fire emergencies.

The Poet’s Corner contains the remains of more than 50 important writers and artists, including Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Dickens, George Frederic Handel and Alfred Tennyson. With space at a premium, ashes are now gladly accepted.
