Noblesville council hears introduction to Silo Ridge

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Attorney Steve Hardin presented a proposed mixed-residential development by M/I DEVELOPMENT Homes called Silo Ridge to the Noblesville Common Council during its Feb. 23 meeting. It was only an introduction, so a vote wasn’t taken.

Hardin said Silo Ridge is proposed to be a gateway to the City of Noblesville because it is near Finch Creek Park, a 200-acre park that opened last year.

“One of the benefits to this development is to bring residential to protect that area from continued industrial development happening in that corridor,” Hardin said. “Some of the key aspects of the plan itself is we have a mixture of uses. The com-

prehensive plan adopted in 2020 encouraged a mixture of housing types, a variety of housing types.”

The project would have two single-family home areas, for-sale townhomes and paired villas, and 1 mile of paved trails, 6 miles of sidewalk and connection opportunities to adjacent neighborhoods. The paired villas are targeted for empty nesters and estimated to cost between $230,000 and $290,000. The single-family homes, depending on which section of the development they are in, would range from $260,000 to $340,000 or $340,000 to $420,000. The for-sale townhomes would be along Ind. 32 across from the area’s industrial uses and are expected to range between $220,000 and $260,000.

The council did not ask questions following the introduction.

Other council news:

What happened: The Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved an ordinance authorizing the issuance of economic development revenue bonds for the Nexus project.

What it means: Economic Development Director Andrew Murray said the item was required to move forward with bond financing for the Nexus apartment project with Cityscape Residential to develop the Marsh site on the northwest corner of Ind. 32 and River Road. There were no changes to the ordinance.

What’s next: Nexus plans to break ground on the project this spring.

What happened: The council unanimously approved changes to the city’s animal ordinance.

The views of the columnists in Current in Noblesville are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

What it means: The ordinance has revisions based on input gathered by the Humane Society for Hamilton County and Hamilton County Animal Control.

To our valued readers: It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March 2020. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

What’s next: The ordinance is in effect.

What happened: City attorney Lindsey Bennett presented on changes to the city’s noise ordinance.

What it means: Bennett said there were two noise ordinances — one for the Ruoff Corporate Campus and one for the rest of the city. Bennet said changes include adding some exceptions, such as sounds emitted from authorized emergency vehicles, burglar alarms, rubbish collection and more. Other changes include adding fines for offenses — up to $250 for a first offense, up $500 for a second offense within two years and up to $1,000 for third and fourth offenses. All other offenses within two years would be up to $2,500. Council President Darren Peterson requested a tiered fine system different for residents and commercial uses.

levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue to deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7, 2020. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail.

Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online continues and never will change.

What’s next: The council will vote on the changes at a future meeting.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

SERVE Noblesville seeks to create huge volunteer effort

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com To commemorate SERVE Noblesville’s 10th anniversary of connecting compassionate neighbors through comGIVING BACK munity service projects, organizers are seeking to recruit the most volunteers and projects yet this summer.

Patrick Propst, one of the co-founders and the executive director, said the nonprofit wants to mobilize 1,000 volunteers to work on 100 projects during 2021 SERVE Week, scheduled for June 23-26.

“What makes our organization unique is we don’t have kind of a niche,” Propst said.

“Because of the community partners we’ve had and the community (support), we are willing to take on any project as long as we can find the right resources and right partners in the community to help to get it accomplished. In the past, we’ve done yard clean-ups, roof repairs, we do a community giveaway, we do meal packing, there’s not much left outside of the scope of projects we have done or will do.”

A Noblesville resident, Propst is the pastor of Faith Community Church in Noblesville. He said SERVE will work on projects

throughout Hamilton County.

“We partner with nonprofits to get things done that are sometimes low on their list of priority,” Propst said. “We’re able to come alongside them and provide an army of volunteers to help get stuff accomplished.”

Ideas for 2021 projects are being accepted through April 15 online at servenoblesville. com, under the SERVE Week tab. Project leaders and groups also can sign up now.

Volunteer registration for individuals is open during the Come Together Weekend campaign held during Memorial Day weekend, May 28-31.

SERVE Noblesville formed in 2012 and has engaged more than 5,000 volunteers to help with nearly 500 community projects. Starting in 2019, the organization kicked off the summer volunteer season with a community-wide Come Together campaign during Memorial Day Weekend.

Propst said volunteers tackle tasks alongside a project leader who provides any necessary guidance.

Sponsorships start at $250. Sponsors can choose which project to support and are recognized on a yard sign at the project site. A title sponsorship for Serve Noblesville’s 10th anniversary is still available.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

news@currentnoblesville.com Hamilton County and the cities of Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield will conduct a vigil March 13 to pay PANDEMIC respects to those who died as a result of COVID-19.

Called a “Night of Reflection,” city and county officials will meet on the steps of the courthouse in downtown Noblesville to light luminaries in honor of every Hamilton County resident who died from COVID-19. As of press time, 394 county residents have died of the disease.

In addition, fire, police and EMS vehicles will line the streets downtown for a ceremonial lighting of the lights to honor all the health care professionals and first responders who have worked on the front lines of the pandemic.

Eric Zhu has developed coding skills quickly and is already seeing the benefits.

The Carmel 13-year-old EDUCATION wants to help other students do the same.

“The reason we created this is we wanted to teach kids coding because there are two problems,” said Zhu, who credits coding with helping him earn an internship with Carbon Zhu Zero Financial. “The first problem being that people who learn coding and self-learn don’t have the motivation.

They don’t have the classroom setting. Coding is the closest to being a superpower.

They either lose motivation halfway or they think they need to go to teachers to learn, and those teachers are really expensive.”

So, to solve both problems, AcademiaEdge was founded to make coding more affordable and effective. The weekly courses, which are live virtual tutoring sessions, started Feb. 20. Zhu, a Clay Middle School eighth grader, is one of six co-founders. The others are Carmel High School sophomores Raghav Sriram, Maxwell Ye, Eric Guo, Eamon Mukhopadhyay and Avinash Valuveri. Zhu, who joined in November 2020 and guides marketing, said the other founders began to form the initiative a few months earlier.

“We’re aiming to make this worldwide,” Zhu said. “Right now, we’re national with more than 150 registered students.”

Zhu said the courses are taught by volunteer teachers who are high school and university students.

“We go through testing with all of them and give them volunteer hours,” Zhu said.

“With our new partnership with Rapid Education, we’re hoping to also get money from a third party to fund them as well.”

Course subjects include machine learning, website development, competitive programming with Java, four python (programming language) and cybersecurity courses.

“We do project-based learning. In each class, you learn something and then you want to make something,” Zhu said. “For example, you learn how to do image detection in machine learning class.”

Thirty people applied to be teachers and Zhu said only 10 were accepted.

Local woman is Ivy Tech Hamilton County’s first chancellor

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com By becoming an independent campus, Ivy Tech Hamilton County’s first challenge was finding a chancellor. It chose its leader in Stacy Atkinson.

Atkinson, a Westfield resident, has worked with Ivy Tech for more than six years. She started at the systems office, where she oversaw online courses. She then moved to the strategic initiatives department to create a strategic plan for the community college.

However, at the end of the strategic plan, Atkinson said her heart led her to campus work. She became vice chancellor for academic affairs at the Richmond campus in December 2017.

“It was the strategic plan that really led me to that. At the systems office, the goal is the overall strategic plan, but being on a campus felt like you were actually doing something, and I could actually implement a strategic plan in Richmond,” said Atkinson, who started her new role at Ivy Tech Hamilton County March 1. “I helped write the strategic plan to give to 6,000 people, and I wanted to be part of it.”

In July 2019, Atkinson was promoted to chancellor of the Richmond campus. She and her family planned to move from Westfield to Richmond, but when the COVID-19 pandemic began, and they never got the chance.

Then, opportunity knocked a bit closer to home.

“I had made the decision to commute, and then (Ivy Tech) made the Hamilton County campus, which is just 16 minutes from my home,” Atkinson said.

“Ivy Tech hasn’t spun a campus out of a site, so this is a very unique opportunity, and the only reason they have done this is data shows the recruitable population is so large and the opportunity is so large in the area that it needs its own autonomous campus.”

– STACY ATKINSON However, she didn’t accept the chancellor position at Ivy Tech Hamilton County simply because it shortened her commute.

“My skills speak to a build-up and a startup and starting something new,” Atkinson said. “Ivy Tech hasn’t spun a campus out of a site, so this is a very unique opportunity, and the only reason they have done this is data shows the recruitable population is so large and the opportunity is so large in the area that it needs its own autonomous campus.”

Ivy Tech announced in September 2020 that the Hamilton County site at 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville, will become an independent campus in July of this year. As a result, students can earn degrees at the Hamilton County campus. Ivy Tech Hamilton County is the community college system’s 19th full-service campus. A press release from Ivy Tech states, “Hamilton County is the state’s fourth-largest and fastest-growing county, with Ivy Tech enrollment at the location already exceeding that of several full-service campuses.”

“We will know what programs within our service area of Hamilton County will be the most productive of putting Hoosiers into the workforce and have those here instead of saying you can only take the basics here, but then we have to send you to the central Indiana campus,” Atkinson said.

Ivy Tech Hamilton County is still drafting which programs it plans to offer. Atkinson said data from across the county Continues on PAGE 9

MEET STACY ATKINSON Lives: Westfield

Bru Burger in Noblesville and Mimi Blue Meatballs in Carmel.

Family: Husband, Keith, is an air traffic controller at Grissom Air Force Base; daughter Kelsey, 11, is a student at Westfield Intermediate School; son Jordan, 7, is a student at Maple Glen Elementary School.

Prior to living in Westfield: Atkinson was program chair for the Early Care and Education program at the Technical College of the Lowcountry in South Carolina, after being honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps. During her time in the Marines, she was an avionics technician and worked on F/A 18A fighter jets during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Between the Marine Corps and moving to higher education, she spent time in an elementary school classroom, where she was a second-grade teacher at Shell Point Elementary in Beaufort, S.C.

Hobbies: Kelsey is into competitive gymnastics and Jordan is into coding. As a family, the Atkinsons like to travel: “My parents retired to Puerto Rico, and our children love to cruise,” Atkinson said. Keith enjoys cooking, and the Atkinsons like to watch IU basketball.

Education: Atkinson earned a bachelor’s degree in professional aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2008, a master’s degree in elementary and early childhood education from the University of South Carolina in 2010 and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Lesley University in 2012. She earned her doctorate in adult learning and development from Lesley University in 2016.

Outside of work: Atkinson serves on the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Commission on Accreditation of Higher Education programs.

As a native Spanish speaker and English language learner, her passion for children and their literacy is an important component of her work with AMIGOS Latino Centers, PHASE Foundation and Girls, Inc. Additional boards she serves on include the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce and the Reid Health Community Benefit Council.

Continued from PAGE 8 shows, for example, that Carmel is STEM-focused and Cicero is agricultural-focused.

“And then there’s health care,” Atkinson said. “Riverview (Health) is right down the block, so we can’t ignore that.”

Atkinson said an education degree will be offered because of a shortage of teachers in the state and nation.

“Hamilton County is very hungry for this is what I’ve learned in the last two months,” Atkinson. “It is very hungry for the opportunity to utilize this building and utilize Ivy Tech as the medium for skilling up their workforce. Hamilton County has so much opportunity, it’s hard to articulate it and put it into words. It’s the right thing to do. Ivy Tech having a sole, autonomous, dedicated campus here is the right thing to do.”

Another area Atkinson is excited about is the ability to partner with local high schools.

“We want to make sure those students are ready — the students without a plan or students that have a plan that doesn’t work out because life gets in the way, that we can become their first option, that Ivy Tech can become the first choice instead of the last choice,” Atkinson said.“I hope by the summer we are offering classes for stu-

ESSAY

LETTER

Red alert

Fact check first

Commentary by Terry Anker We become old pros at the tornado drill by the time we find our way into third grade. Different from the ubiquitous fire drill, where we’d be marched outside in single-file lines, getting to enjoy a blast of fresh air and some conversation with our friends until the “all-clear” bell, the late winter prep for spring storms would find us marching into the halls carrying our thickest book, generally math, to sit pressed against cinder block walls, heads bowed with the tome as cover to deflect falling debris. We were hushed routinely and reminded to listen carefully for emergency warnings that would come from the “main” office (usually a substantial and intimidating microphone somewhere on the principal’s desk). Eventually, a voice would bellow that the exercise had not been a “real” emergency but were reassured that future ones most would certainly be.

As the years passed tornado-free, the ritual became occasion to pass notes and whisper with friends as the teachers, especially those a few decades past college, would collect to discuss the events of the day in the hallway-turned-teachers’ lounge. Those lucky enough to earn the hall monitor duty would discover that tomorrow would be the exercise and would share the forbidden knowledge with their buddies. “We might escape the spelling quiz because a drill should happen during third period — huzzah!”

Then we grew into a world with constant phone notifications, DEFCON nuclear warnings and a Homeland Security Advisory System that has seldom, if ever, fallen below “orange,” signifying a high risk of terrorist attack. In a lifetime of snowpocolypse disappointments, hurricane path prediction misfires and almost daily claims of “red alert,” how do we know the difference between Chicken Little and an imminent collapse of the atmosphere? Can we protect every sheep without crying wolf too often?

Cruise might cure my blues Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m sitting on my couch, bleary-eyed from yet another night of hormonally induced insomnia, ignoring the cold, HUMOR gray winter afternoon and a mountain of ungraded essays in favor of Googling the best seven-to-nineday Mediterranean cruises. A girl’s gotta dream!

Especially this year. Even with the idea of “normal” partially visible on the horizon, I’m still feeling blah. What I need is a fabulous vacation to a far-away destination with all-you-can-drink margaritas and 24/7 soft serve. Not that I would get on a 5,000-passenger ship anytime soon, even in a full hazmat suit, but perhaps in 2022.

Because, unfortunately, this summer will probably be on par with last. We’ll be staying close to home, except for a dance nationals in Tennessee and possibly a long 25th anniversary weekend somewhere. Neither seems terribly exciting nor binge-planning worthy, hence the hours I’ve wasted

“chatting” with Randy from Holland America and mapping places like Split and Palma.

What’s especially weird about this latest obsession is that I’m not really a cruise person. I did a Caribbean spin about 12 years ago and, with the exceptions of spectacular people-watching and a particularly funny experience involving one of my sisters and a bikini top malfunction during a diving for pennies game on the Lido Deck, I mostly remember a mild case of vertigo and the ever-present thoughts of, “If this baby goes down, how do I not end up like Leonardo?”

Regardless, what’s the harm in a little holiday fantasizing? It’s not like I’m giving Randy my credit card, despite his best efforts. Only $200 for a balcony upgrade? Yes, please! A girl’s gotta dream! Peace out.

Editor, I would like to invite Robert Davidson (published in a previous edition of Current in Noblesville) and others to fact check their assertions before perpetuating misinformation obtained on Twitter, Facebook or who-knows-where. There are several nonpartisan sites available, including FactCheck.org and Snopes.com.

Some state legislatures offering alternative slates of electors as well as the Texas attorney general (with several dozen U.S. representatives and state attornyes general signing on) is probably more an indication of the power of misinformation bombardment and a longing for a certain opinion to be affirmed than of evidence of any actual widespread fraud or shenanigans. The inability of the challengers to the election to win 61 of the 62 lawsuits — many for lack of evidence — should give some pause to the acceptance of those claims.

It would take more words than Current will afford me to strike down all of Mr. Davidson’s claims, but suffice it to say that the various state courts and U.S. Supreme Court, as well as the many circuit court judges, probably understand the respective laws and circumstances of those cases better than someone gleaning information from conservative radio, TV or the internet chatter of others who are misinformed.

Now hiring for snow jobs Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A few weeks ago, when the snowstorm hit, I was fortunate to have neighbors who knew that I had a bad knee, a HUMOR bad back and a cardiologist on retainer. Paul and Eric shoveled our driveway and Noah (Eric’s 10-yearold son) somehow managed to maneuver the snowblower.

As they finished at about 4:30 in the afternoon, I threw on a coat and went outside to thank them.

“Wow,” Paul said. “You are still in your pajama bottoms. You haven’t gotten dressed yet?”

“Don’t be silly,” Eric said. “He’s getting ready for bed.”

This was our third winter in this neighborhood, and up until last week, we had not had any major snowfalls. But in our previous home just a couple miles away, we did have a few blizzards during the 25 years we lived there. I know, because as a TV reporter, I covered many of them.

Back in those days, the last thing I wanted to do was shovel my own driveway. After I got home, I’d walk outside and scan the

neighborhood. A few of my more fit neighbors were hard at work, but I was looking for teenagers motivated to make a buck (or 40) shoveling snow. Where were those big, manly 17-year-olds whose parents had bumper stickers that said, “My son is a lineman for Lawrence North”? I’ll tell you where they were. They were home posting selfies on Facebook or Instagram.

Yes, our pricing structure was downright dishonest. And now, 55 years later, I deserve to be taken advantage of. So, I waited at the front door — a door I couldn’t get out of, money in hand but no takers.

– DICK WOLFSIE

When I was a kid in New York, as soon as school was canceled due to heavy snowfall, my best friend Arthur and I got into our warm coats, armed ourselves with shovels, then set out in the neighborhood by 8 a.m. to make a financial killing. One day, I came home with a wad of scrunched-up wet bills in my pocket. I showed my mom the stash of $52.

Crafters accused of using Boombozz trade secrets

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The owner of the Boombozz pizza restaurant brand is suing the franchisees who operated locations in Westfield COURTS and Fishers for using trade secrets and breaching contract agreements in opening Crafters Pizza and Drafthouse in the former Westfield Boombozz location.

Louisville-based TBB America, which franchised the Boombozz concept in 2008, filed the lawsuit Feb. 9 in federal court against Naptown Pizzerias, LLC and its owner, Michael Hall; NTPCC, LLC; and Brian Hall, an operating partner in the Westfield store, which has a Carmel address. The Westfield location opened in 2012, followed by the restaurant in Fishers in 2016.

The complaint states that in 2016, after TBB declined an offer from House and Hall to purchase the company, “the relationship between the parties began to deteriorate.”

It states that the defendants began disregarding instructions from TBB. The relationship worsened, and the two sides began negotiating terms to terminate the franchise agreements and wind down operation of the Westfield and Fishers restaurants.

“It was Defendants’ intent to stall in those negotiations so that they could make plans behind the scenes to open up a restaurant that would compete directly against Boombozz using Boombozz confidential and proprietary intellectual property,” the complaint states.

The Fishers restaurant closed in November 2020 with the Westfield location following the next month. Approximately a week later, Crafters Pizza and Drafthouse opened in the former Westfield Boombozz site.

The complaint states that Crafters sells pizzas and other menu items that are substantially similar to those offered by Boombozz and that the former franchisees would not have known how to create without knowing the Boombozz recipes.

TBB is asking the court to order the defendants to cease affiliation and involvement with any restaurant through Jan. 7, 2023.

Fishers High School graduate learns to produce music after jet ski accident

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Two unfortunate situations drove Indiana University senior Matthieu Picard to pursue producing music.

“In August 2019, I was MUSIC involved in a life-altering water-sport accident that permanently severed three finger digits (both middle fingers and pointer finger of the left hand),” the 2017 Fishers High School graduate said.

“While tragic, this accident taught me that life is too wild and unpredictable to sit on passion. Over the next year, I balanced school and learning to produce electronic music.”

Picard’s accident occurred while jet skiing on Snow Lake in Angola.

“What really catalyzed my wanting to know more about music production is that accident, because it affected my ability to play guitar and violin,” Picard said. “So, I started thinking about making music.

The second catalyst was the (COVID-19 pandemic) hit. We suddenly had a lot more time to be alone and a lot more time stuck at home, so naturally, my learning of production accelerated during that time period, too.”

Picard had taken piano lessons since he was 5 years old.

“It was a tough recovery process, but I think I’m back to where I was before playing the piano, which is cool,” he said. “I did play violin and guitar before the accident and I didn’t take (time) to relearn those yet. I think it would be possible but much harder than piano.”

Picard said when he and Ben Rich started to room together and got to know each other better, they learned they shared a passion.

“I saw Matthieu really get into dance music and producing,” said Rich, who is from Elkhart. “I was already in a band called Levine, singing and playing guitar. It was fun making music together.”

The duo began making music under the name SD Gloria.

Disney music producer to present program editorial@youarecurrent.com

Ben Rich, left, and Matthieu Picard are partnering to make electronic dance music songs.

(Submitted photo)

“The name SD Gloria derives from Soli Deo gloria, a Latin term used by Bach to point all glory to Christ,’” Picard said. “As two followers of Christ, we are always happy to share about our faith with anyone curious to learn about its source.”

Picard and Rich met during their freshman year through Cru campus ministry for Christians.

“We actually have fairly different tastes in music, but we align,” Picard said. “I grew up with classical music. My mom would play with me and my dad taught bass lessons. I got into electronic dance music in high school.”

Rich said he wasn’t as interested in dance music before working with Picard.

Rich’s background was more classic rock, along with indie rock and alternative rock.

Picard was involved in orchestra at FHS, playing mostly violin and some piano, and playing with the worship team at Campus

Crusade.

The three tracks released on Spotify are “honey & locusts,” “act your age” and “NO NEED.” “There are some vocals on ‘act your age.’ I’m definitely interested to see what people think,” Rich said. “I’m excited to put out more stuff.”

The songs also are available on YouTube and Apple Music.

“We have some other things on there we couldn’t put on Spotify because it’s unofficial remixes,” Picard said.

Picard said they started working on the project in the fall 2020, but it started seriously in January.

Picard is an economics major and Rich is an informatics major. Both will graduate in May. For the Spotify profile, visit open.spotify.com/artist/7ClPlZhvkoOQWUY0ADmvAI

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9713 District N. Drive, Fishers What to get: Birria tacos Price: $15 Anna’s take: I was thoroughly impressed with Bien Mexicana in the Fishers Test Kitchen. Owner Angela Garcia has a great story about how she began selling tamales after being unable to work during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and those tamale sales paved the way to an entire restaurant. Bien Mexicana will operate out of Fishers Test Kitchen through at least March, and possibly longer, if it is chosen as one of the Test Kitchen’s next long-term restaurants. Bien Mexicana is only open from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, but it also operates out of the Noblesville American Legion other days of the week. The schedule is announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page. As for what to order, you can’t go wrong with any item, but my favorite was Birria tacos. Three tacos come in an order, and the tortillas are soft but don’t tear or

fall apart, despite being packed with barbacoa, cheese, onions and cilantro. The tacos are served with a side of salsa verde and a bowl of consomé, a seasoned and dried chile beef broth. I suggest adding the salsa verde to the taco and then dipping the entire thing in the consomé. Sop up as much of that stuff as you can because it’s delicious. My other favorite item was the chips and salsa/guacamole/queso. The chips and all sauces are made in-house, and the salsa was definitely spicy enough to appeal to my taste (for those who don’t know, I definitely love a bit of a kick). Check out Bien Mexicana sooner rather than later.

With friends like these Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I love reader feedback, especially when it is glowing. Luann wrote in with a great question. She asked, “How do you keep from correcting other peoGRAMMAR GUY ple? My friends think I am obnoxious.”

Although my friends can barely stand me, I do not correct their grammar, except for under very specific circumstances. You can have friends or correct people’s grammar; you can’t have both.

The only reason to publicly correct a friend’s grammar is to stop them from getting a misspelled word tattooed on her body.

You’d better speak up before your buddy gets “No ragrets” tattooed on his forearm.”

The only other acceptable way to correct a friend’s grammar is to do so in private. To judge someone out loud in public is an impeachable friend offense. It will make them feel dumb, and it’s not a good look for you, either. A private grammar correction is akin to pulling someone aside to tell them they have some spinach stuck between their teeth.

Now, I’ll stop dancing around answering Luann’s question: How do you keep from correcting other people? Believe me, I am constantly correcting other people’s grammar in my head, but it stays there. To learn restraint, you have to ask whether or not you’d like your friend to correct you if your roles were reversed.

Just as nobody’s mind has ever been changed through a Facebook political debate, no good will come out of a public grammar correction. Here’s an idea for Luann, as well as other self-deputized grammar police officers: When you want to correct someone’s grammar, instead send yourself a text message with the grammar gaffe. Later on, if you remember it, you can allow yourself to gently correct your friend in the privacy of a one-on-one conversation.

I strongly believe that possessing and practicing good grammar can make your life roughly 17 percent better, and I appreciate people who want to help their friends achieve grammar greatness.

Jerusalem’s unearthed Byzantine houses Commentary by Don Knebel Jerusalem’s Temple Mount is one of the most impressive structures of antiquity. Twentieth century TRAVEL excavations near it disclosed surprising information about early Christians.

In 19 B.C., Herod the Great began building a massive retaining wall around the flat hill on which Jerusalem’s Second Temple stood. Workers filled the voids, creating a 37-acre platform for an enlarged temple and a series of associated courts. Gates high in the southern wall, above wide steps, led to tunnels opening onto this Temple Mount. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus walked down these steps before his crucifixion and predicted the Temple’s destruction. About 40 years later, Roman troops, responding to the First Jewish Revolt, demolished the Temple.

In A.D. 135, the Romans barred Jews from entering Jerusalem, which they renamed Aelia Capitolina. In A.D. 326, after legalizing Christianity, Roman Emperor Constantine built a church a quarter of a mile west of the Temple Mount, where his mother, Helena, concluded Jesus’ tomb was located. Christians then began coming to Aelia Capitolina to worship in the church, which became the center of Christian Jerusalem.

In 638, Muslim forces captured Aelia Capitolina from the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire and built an administrative center at the southern end of the Temple Mount.

An earthquake in 749 destroyed the center, which became buried by dirt and debris.

In 1967, after Israel gained control of the area in the Six-Day War, archaeologists began excavating just south of the Temple Mount, uncovering the southern steps.

Under the ruins of the destroyed administrative center they discovered homes built for Byzantine Christians, some with mosaic floors and some with rooms for creating souvenirs for Christian pilgrims.

Prior to the discovery, scholars assumed Christians would have avoided building this close to the Temple because of Jesus’ teachings about it. Some of the Byzantine
