With the end of the 2019 legislative session nearing, legislators took time to honor the first responders of the May 25, 2018, Noblesville West Middle ACHIEVEMENT School shooting.

On March 26, State Sen. Victoria Spartz (R-Noblesville) presented Senate Concurrent Resolution 43 in the Senate Chamber, honoring teacher Jason Seaman, first responders, public safety officers and others for their work on the day of the shooting. Seaman is credited for stopping the shooting quickly by tackling the shooter and disarming him.

Then-student David Moore opened fire in Seaman’s seventh-grade science classroom at NWMS, shooting student Ella Whistler seven times and Seaman three times in the hip, abdomen and forearm.

Parts of SCR 43 stated, “Although one student was critically injured in the shooting, Seaman’s brave and swift actions undoubt-

edly saved countless lives and prevented further injury to others. Because of the advanced safety planning by (NWMS), including Supt. Beth Niedermeyer, Principal Stacey Swan and School Resource Officer Michael Steffen, in coordination with the Noblesville Police Dept. and Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept., the response by the school’s staff and students was executed to perfection.”

In addition to Seaman, Niedermeyer, Swan and Steffen, Spartz recognized Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter, former Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen, Noblesville Police Dept. Chief Kevin Jowitt, staff at Riverview Health and NWMS nurse Megan Schueter for their actions.

“The bravery and courage shown by Mr. Seaman and so many other people on that terrifying day is truly inspirational,” Spartz said. “I am proud of you, your community is proud of you and your state is proud of you.

Thank you for all you did to protect and serve our NWMS students and staff.”

Author visits Janus Development Services

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Janus Development Services President/CEO Christina Sorenson, this was a great opportunity for the clients.

Author Sarah GerkensLITERACY meyer sparked Janus clients’ imagination by reading a book and helping them create their own stories March 21 at Janus in Noblesville.

Along with Janus clients, the event included guests from The Arc of Boone County.

Gerkensmeyer’s visit was made possible by a grant Janus received from the Indiana Humanities Council for the Novel Conversations Speakers Program. Janus’ mission is to provide individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate and contribute within their communities. Janus initiated its Literacy Program in 2018.

“The program has been well-received and has benefited participants by enhancing communication skills and sparking imaginations,” Sorenson said. “In addition to providing opportunities to improve reading skills, the Literacy Program provides additional possibilities for volunteers to read together with Janus clients.”

This was the first time Janus had played host to this type of visit.

“I was told that this was the first time the Humanities Council sponsored a reading for individuals with disabilities,” Sorenson said. “I am under the impression that the reaction was so positive that they will be interested in future opportunities.”

Sorenson said Janus would definitely be interested in conducting more of the events.

Gerkensmeyer, author of “What You Are Now Enjoying,” began by having audience members come up to make a group drawing.

Gary Spiegel gets help with his writing exercise from author Sarah Gerkensmeyer. (Submitted photos)

Elysia Zollman adds to the drawing under the watchful eye of Gerkensmeyer.

She read to the audience, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” With audience participation led by Gerkensmeyer, clients collaborated to develop their own story about the three friendly monsters they had drawn.

Gerkensmeyer, who has taught creative writing courses for 12 years, then led the audience in a series of writing and drawing exercises, including drawing things that made them happy.

A Greencastle resident, Gerkensmeyer won the 2016 Eugene and Marilyn Indiana Authors Award for emerging author.

Column highlights nonprofits Commentary by Nancy Chance Editor’s note: Current Publishing has begun a partnership with the Hamilton County Executive Directors Group COUNTY to run a guest column each month to showcase the work being done by area nonprofit organizations.

Read more at youarecurrent.com.

The Hamilton County Executive Directors Group was formed in 2017 by Good Samaritan Network, with the objective to actively support, foster, advance, endorse, mentor, inspire and move like-minded nonprofit agencies forward while purposefully supporting participating Hamilton County executive directors.

There is the powerful potential of peer learning when you consider the unique diversity and experiences of executive directors, including the opportunity to gain confidence, think bigger, develop goals with accountability and feel less alone.

When in a position of leadership, it’s easy to forget that we don’t have to go it alone.

Certainly, that’s an essential part of the mission for the Hamilton County Executive Directors Group. Understanding that executive directors benefit from spaces with their peers

where they can learn and develop individually and corporately is important. This becomes even more significant in a time when tight funding and fewer professional development dollars are available to nonprofits.

Some obvious outcomes for building a stronger network of executive directors and service providers include community networking among a diversity of agencies, organizations, individuals, etc.; gaining practical expertise with peer-to-peer influences; creating a safe place of commitment, support, concern and respect; generating a think-tank approach for assessment and development of partners, organizationally, and for the evaluation of current or new policies and procedures; reflecting on one another’s unique history and current needs; considering clear approaches for moving forward professionally and organizationally; and recognizing potential opportunities and related entrepreneurship.

Nancy Chance is the executive director of Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County.

For nearly 20 years, the Hamilton County Bar Association has sponsored a mock trial competition for local high COURTS school students.

The 19th annual HCBA Mock Trial competition took place from Jan. 16 to Feb. 20. It was coordinated by HCBA member Stephenie Gookins of Cate, Terry & Gookins LLC. Thirteen teams from Hamilton County high schools (Hamilton Southeastern, Fishers, Carmel, Guerin Catholic, Westfield, Noblesville and Sheridan) competed by preparing the fictitious case of Addison Cowell vs. Marbury Academy & Marion Roberts.

Teams of seven to 10 students prepared the plaintiff and defense sides of the case, with the assistance of teacher coaches and attorney advisors. Teams alternated their presentation of the plaintiff/defense side of the case in five preliminary rounds.

Teams were then seeded and competed in a single-elimination tournament Feb. 20 at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center.

Local attorneys and members of the judiciary served as judges throughout the competition. More than 120 students participated, and more than 60 attorneys and judges volunteered.

Hamilton Southeastern’s team, Band on the Run, was the 2019 mock trial champion, defeating Westfield’s Hoosier Heat team.

HSE’s team was led by Janet Chandler and Sam Robinson. HSE’s Kaitlyn Ross was awarded the HCBA Mock Trial $500 Scholarship. Ross is a four-year participant in the HCBA Mock Trial Competition.

Awards also were presented to students for work in each role of the case. Award

Stephenie Gookins, coordinator of the Hamilton County Bar Association Mock Trial, and scholarship winner Kaitlyn Ross, a Hamilton Southeastern student.

Noblesville photographer’s personal journey grows into mission to help Nigerian girl

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Matt Doudt never had big plans to return to his birthplace of Jos, Nigeria.

Doudt lived in Jos, COVER STORY where his parents were teachers and missionaries, until he was 2 1/2 years old. The family moved to North Manchester, Ind., where he largely grew up.

Doudt’s decision to return to Nigeria was a somewhat quick after his father volunteered to be an interim teacher at a refugee camp for people who fled terrorist group Boko Haram.

“I was born there 50 years ago in January 1969,” Doudt said. “My sister was born two years later. We came home shortly after she was born, and I had never been back.”

Doudt, who works as a full-time photographer in Noblesville and the surrounding area, said the weeklong trip was meant to be a personal journey and a unique opportunity to capture images. But after meeting a young girl in the camp, his purpose for visiting changed dramatically.

“The little girl, she’s 7, her name is Mariyamu. She has spina bifida, which cannot be fixed, but she had a bump at the base of her spine that was growing,” Doudt said. “She was starting to limp, had some numbness in her feet and couldn’t control her bathroom use. She’s at a refugee camp, so she didn’t have access to diapers all the time, which meant she couldn’t go to school. For Africans, especially refugees, education is their only way out.”

Doudt took to Facebook for support. He posted a portrait of Mariyamu and asked for donations for the $1,800 surgery to remove the lump from her back. Within hours, the money was raised from friends and family.

“Now, she can control her bathroom use, she can walk without a limp and she can go to school,” Doudt said. “It’s amazing.”

Mariyamu is a resident of the Gurku IDP Camp.

“In Nigeria, they have refugee camps for internally displaced people, called IDPs, and it’s basically Nigerians that live in an area where Boko Haram has been really violent and taken over their villages, and they’ve fled,” Doudt said. “So, unlike in Lebanon where you have Syrian refugees coming from another country, this is all within the country. The government has not been able

(Submitted photos)

to stop Boko Haram in certain areas. There are no camps for displaced Nigerians. This camp started out as a small tent camp, but very quickly, they decided to make it into a new little village. These people have decided that they’re not going back home.”

Doudt’s Nigerian trip happened to coincide perfectly with his 50th birthday, Jan. 28.

“I don’t ever want to go just as a tourist,” he said. “Part of what I did this time was my own personal journey. There’s this really cool thing in the Old Testament and Jewish history called the Year of Jubilee. Every 50 years, everybody returned home. People who were in jail, people who had debt, all of that was forgiven. It was like a year of going back to the beginning and starting over. Because I turned 50 this year, it was just really cool that my dad and I had this experience and that I got to go back to my birthplace.”

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR A CAUSE For years, Matt Doudt has been a photographer, shooting weddings, senior and family portraits and more, but his photography work with mission groups began in 2013 when he was invited to go to Beirut, Lebanon on a mission trip “We were there two weeks. I took my camera and took a ton of pictures, and they gave me access to their Facebook page,” Doudt said. “ So every day, I’d take pictures and told a story. Their response to me was great, because they had never had so much interaction with people who were donating. I’ve now been to Beirut five or six times, got to go to England, the Congo. It became this great thing where I shoot (photos) all day, edit all night and post to Facebook. These (mission) groups have found that it just helps their donors

feel more connected to the cause, and I love it.”

Doudt also is involved in a camp in Martinsville for 18- to 35-year-old adults who are wheelchair users.

“About half of them have cerebral palsy, spina bifida or genetically born that way, but the other half are spinal cord injuries, people that have had sports accidents or car accidents,” Doudt said. “This is my fourth year involved with them, but I do the same thing. I live with them for a week, take pictures, post pictures every day and then give them a large collection of pictures for them to use for marketing the camp throughout the year.”

Doudt also volunteers with Janus Developmental Services in Noblesville and is planning his next trip to Beirut in October.

ESSAY

LETTER Hard work pays off

Striking balance Commentary by Terry Anker Can we get too much of a good thing? Is it possible to overdose on perfection? These, and questions like them, have vexed us since the very first good thing. Perhaps the challenge has been that both measures are subjective. What may be terrific to some might be considered unpleasant, even revolting, to others. And how much is enough, or more than enough, assuredly relies upon our individual capacity to process.

Take exercise, as an example. All would agree that physical activity does the body good. In fact, a cogent argument could be made that we Americans have fallen behind on what might be a sustaining level of movement. But what might be required for some might be excess to others. Our age, general health and physiology each have significant impact on the need. A few indulge in almost compulsive workouts – we push our bodies to the breaking point and beyond. Athletic injuries and repetitive movement damage our bodies while offsetting any measurable benefit from the effort.

Likewise, food nourishes our bodies. Without it, we wouldn’t last long. And yet, we have a tough relationship with it. It seems we either eat too much or too little. For many, our bodies struggle to make use of the abundance of processed sugars and empty calories.

Exercise and food may be the ideal ying and yang of our corporal selves. If we properly manage the everchanging and moving equilibrium, our lives are extended and improved in countless ways. Failure quickly delivers the opposite. Can we hope to find balance between hedonism and Puritanism? And if we do, can we hope to keep it?

Tears, roundabouts and laughs Commentary by Danielle Wilson My foray into politics two columns ago proved to be interesting. Mistake made, lesson learned, so let’s get back HUMOR to my mundane life as a working mom of four!

I must preface this tale of motherly despair by first stating I am not an emotional person; my husband Doo actually believes I have no soul. And on this particular morning, I was running on five hours of sleep and had already spilled my coffee while taking a roundabout like I was a Formula 1 driver, which I am not.

Suffice it to say, I was not in a good place as I drove to school, so I switched from depressing NPR to RadioNOW. That stupid “Tequila” song came on, and then bam, out of nowhere, it hit me: My babies are going off to college! (I experienced a similar revelation at Chick-fil-A with my oldest).

Point of fact, our 17-year old twins are not

babies, nor have they been the babies for quite some time. Our youngest robbed them of that honor when she came along. But for whatever reason, at that moment, I realized that soon I would not be witnessing their Wonder Twin powers activate in the form of Australian accents and witty jabs. I would go months without seeing their sweet faces, now so much different than their pudgy toddler ones. Our Corinne-tin-tin and Hurricane Andrew will be on their own, making decisions and living their lives. Without me.

The tears burst forth just as I was taking another friggin’ roundabout, followed fairly quickly by laughter. We did it! Three down, one to go.

Doo might be right. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”

-Henry Ford

Editor, While I admire (Christina Downey’s) obvious passion around this subject, being a late baby boomer, born in 1964, I disagree with the accuracy of her statements (in a letter to the editor published March 19).

I graduated from high school in 1982.

There were very few grants or scholarships available, and publicly backed student loans were not in existence unless you met very stringent requirements. I scored a 32 on my ACT and did not qualify for any aid whatsoever. Like most of my classmates, I desired to attend college but could not afford it. I spent six years in the Navy gaining technical experience while serving my country. I have no regrets.

A no-cost public education did not exist at the time, nor at any time in my 55 years of life. No-cost college is far from no cost for those who would need to pay through taxes. It is radical in that it would be new, unless you lived in California, perhaps.

I would rather pay forward my advice that you can accomplish whatever you desire, if you work hard and look at all options, including the great education provided by the military services or working while in school to pay for your education.

Terry Wright, Noblesville

HPV becoming more common Commentary by Dr. Charles Harris What is HPV? The human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection, having already VACCINES infected 79 million Americans with approximately 14 million new cases each year.

There are more than 200 types of human papillomavirus, some types causing a variety of cancers. These can include vulvar, vaginal, penile, anal, throat, tongue, head and neck cancers. As frightening as this infection can be, there is good news. There is a vaccine that protects against the nine most common types of disease.

Human papillomavirus, though most commonly spread through vaginal or anal sex, can be spread from any genital skinto-skin contact as well as oral sex with someone who has the virus. The virus can spread even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms. For most individuals, HPV clears on its own. It can take years, or even decades, for cancer to develop after a person gets HPV. You can develop symptoms years after you have had sex with someone who is infected, making it difficult to know when you first became

infected. It is important to understand that any individual who is sexually active can contract HPV, even if they have only had one partner.

There are several steps you can take to lower your risk of getting HPV, the most important of which is getting vaccinated.

Boys and girls can and should be vaccinated as early as 9 years of age, with 11-12 years being the recommended age. The vaccine is most effective prior to being exposed to HPV. Studies show the younger the vaccine is given, the more effective it will be. The vaccine is a two-dose series for ages 11-15 and three shots for those 16 years and older. Human papillomavirus is so common that almost every person who is sexually active can get some type of HPV, but not all HPV causes cancer. Safe sex practices such as condoms, limited sexual activity and yearly screenings also can be effective in lowering your risk.

A recent study by Apartment List, an apartment search site, shows Noblesville rents rising in the past year but STUDY still being more affordable compared to nearby cities, such as Carmel, Fishers and Zionsville.

Rents in Noblesville are up 6.4 percent from the previous year, the second-fastest growth rate among the nation’s small-sized cities, just behind Odessa, Texas. By comparison, Apartment Lists’ national rent index

grew by only 0.9 percent during the past year.

According to the study, since 2014, rents in Noblesville have grown by 7.6 percent, trailing the national average of 13 percent.

The median rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Noblesville is $1,019, compared to the national average of $1,174. That rate is $70, $120 and $500 cheaper than Fishers, Carmel and Zionsville, respectively.

Stock of the Week — The First of Long Island Corporation (FLIC) operates The First National Bank of Long Island. Founded in 1927, it weathered the major economic downturn of the following decade and many economic cycles since, settling on a model of slow, careful growth that now has it operating with 37 full-service branches, 10 commercial banking offices, and two select-service banking centers. The stock trades at only about 1 1/2 times book value of $15.27/share, a discount to peers — likely because potential acquirers do not see First of Long Island as an acquisition target. The reason is the firm’s efficiency. There just would not be a lot of cost savings to be wrung out of a takeover. But it is that very efficiency that gives the company steady, reliable growth through multiple credit cycles. Revenue was $104.7 million last year and will likely be $116 million this year and $120 million in 2020. The dividend rises regularly and now stands at $0.68/share/yr., recently yielding 3.12 percent.

“The experience of working with the orchestra is something that I’m very much looking forward to,” Feinstein said. “I’ve put together a program that includes one or two pieces that actually repose in our Great American Songbook archive that will be fun to give people a taste of some of the arrangements we have in our collection that will be brought to life by the orchestra. To collaborate with the orchestra and community is exciting for me.

“It’s part of the realization of a dream to continue to engage the community in every way with these musical endeavors. Artistically, it’s a very fulfilling collaboration.”

The program will pay tribute to the classic MGM musicals and include songs made famous by Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.

“The theme gives me the opportunity to pick musical arrangements that will evoke the grandeur and majesty of the great musicals and the great songwriters,” Feinstein said. “Of course, it’s a concert in Indiana, so I’ll be including Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael.”

Feinstein will be joined

by Songbook Academy alumni Caleb Freeman and Sam Mulligan.

Freeman, a sophomore Freeman at Wichita State University, attended twice, receiving the Spirit

Award in 2016 and the Songbook Celebration Award in 2017. Mulligan, a junior at Belmont University, attended the Songbook Academy in 2016.

“That will be fun to be with them again,” Feinstein said. “One of the things I love is to see their progress and watch their journey and see where they go in their lives. Not everyone who participates in the Academy has the intention to make music or musical theater their life’s work. But the music is important enough to them (that) it’s integrated in some way. It’s always exciting to see where their path takes them but also help as I can, and all of us can at the foundation.”

Feinstein said Songbook Foundation Executive Director Chris Lewis and his staff stay connected with Songbook Mulligan Academy alums.

Janna Hymes became the CSO music

director in 2017, so this will be her first appearance with Feinstein.

“I’ve been a big fan for many years,” Hymes said. “I grew up in New York and some of my extended family have worked with Michael and know Michael. But I’ve never worked with him or met him, either.

So, I’m really excited about this incredible concert coming up and the opportunity to work with someone who is such a fantastic artist and, of course, a very important person in Carmel.”

Hymes said there will be some classic standards such as “Night and Day” and “The Way You Look Tonight.”

“It’s a real array of standards, which is his speciality,” Hymes said. “These are arrangements he has for him when he performs with an orchestra. It’s music that has Broadway themes, a little bossa nova, some pop chart songs, some show tunes, some ballads. It’s a real combination of moods, lots of love songs. The songs are some of my favorites, actually.”

Martin and Short bring routine to Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Two of America’s most beloved comedians will bring their new stage collaboration to the Center for the Performing Arts Sept. 26.

Comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short will perform musical sketches and reflect on their iconic careers in the new show, “Now You See Them, Soon You Won’t.”

The Silvernotes, a choral group, will perform at Christ United Methodist Church April 16.

Silvernotes to perform concert

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Sharon Piper joined the Silvernotes when she got out of high school.

Now 80, Piper is still singCONCERT ing with the group. Her late mother, Lucile Beechler, was in the group when Piper was a child.

Piper, president of the Silvernotes and a lifelong Cicero resident, said the all-female group is first soprano, second soprano and alto. The Hamilton County Extension Homemaker Chorus debuted in 1936.

The Westfield Washington Historical Society will present the Silvernotes’ concert at 6:30 p.m. April 16 at Christ United Methodist Church, 318 N. Union St. Westfield.

“We sing all kinds of songs, patriotic, religious, pop and oldies,” Piper said. “We are all ages. We have some high school girls in

the group.”

Piper said they will perform patriotic songs, including Civil War songs.

The Silvernotes are a Hamilton County Extension Homemakers Chorus, and has 30 members, mostly from Hamilton County.

The Hamilton County Extension Homeworkers, a service organization through Purdue University, does community work. Betty Jo Christy, Noblesville, has been in the group approximately as long as Piper.

Piper said the choral group performs 15 to 20 times each year.

“We’re part of a state organization, and it has 450 members, and we give concerts off and on during the year with them,” Piper said.

Diana Stanton is the director and Emily Brock is the accompanist for the concert.

Light refreshments will be served. A freewill offering is suggested.

Candlelight presents trilogy

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Candlelight Theatre Creative Director Donna Wing has a special connection to “That Day.” PLAY Wing, a Geist resident, plays Dora Carlton in “That Day,” which was written

by Candlelight Theatre’s resident playwright, James Trofatter. It is based on a Wing short story by Wing. This is the first time it is being performed at the Candlelight Theatre’s home the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site.

“The play is about a woman (Dora) who has a comfortable, upper-class lifestyle, but whose identity starts to disappear as others do not recognize who she is,” Wing said.

“This is a challenging role as I play someone who goes through an actual identity crisis and changes personality within the first 30 minutes of the play.”

The other plays, “The Hitch-Hiker” by Lucille Fletcher and “Two Bottles of Relish” by Lord Dunsany, are classics, Wing said. Each one-act play is 30 minutes.

The performances are at 8 p.m. April 13, 26, 27 and May 3 and 4 and 2 p.m. April 14 and 28.

“This trilogy offers a variety of formats so that the audience has three slightly different experiences,” Wing said. “‘The Hitch-Hiker’ is a radio play where the audience is actually the radio hall audience. There is a little bit of audience involvement. ‘Two Bottles of Relish’ begins after a West murder had already been committed. The action is in seeing how the armchair detectives unravel the mystery.

‘That Day’ is a live-action play where the audience experiences the same emotional roller coaster as the actors.”

John West of Noblesville plays Ronald Adams in “The Hitch-Hiker.” Adams, driving from Brooklyn to California, inexplicably keeps seeing the same hitch-hiker on the trip.

“This role is different for me as it is set up like a radio play, so it is a different atmosphere to what I am used to, and this is by far the largest part I’ve had, so it is a big challenge but rewarding,” West said.

Bar Louie

Voodoo Pasta is a combination of shrimp, andouille sausage, peppers and a housemade voodoo sauce. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1111 W Main St., Suite 140, Carmel What to get: Voodoo Pasta Price: $14 Anna’s take: I was going to order a burger at Bar Louie, but burgers seem to have become one of my main staples lately.

I figured I should try something different, so I ordered the Voodoo Pasta. This is a creamy blend of cavatappi pasta, jumbo shrimp, andouille sausage and red and green bell peppers mixed with a house-made voodoo

sauce. It’s not overly spicy, but it has a nice burn to it. The only thing I would add is more shrimp, but I get a bit greedy when it comes to seafood. The plentiful andouille sausage made up for it.

Suggested pairings: I’ve been on a bourbon kick lately, so I ordered Bar Louie’s New Old Fashioned, which is crafted with Bulleit Rye, Angostura bitters, pure cane syrup and topped with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist.

Behind bars: The Spicy Boi Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz. Boodles gin, 1 oz. jalapeno, pineapple and cucumber simple syrup, .75 oz. lemon juice, Serrano pepper slice Directions: Add ingredients to a shaker tin and shake with serrano pepper slice. Strain into a coupe glass.

Blueprint for Improvement: Sleek, sophisticated Carmel kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

A streamlined kitchen with an open layout beautifully updated this 55-year-old home.

1. Removing the wall between the kitchen and the family room lets the homeowners stay connected to friends and family while in the kitchen.

2. The countertop separating the kitchen from the breakfast nook was removed, providing more space for food prep and cabinetry for storage.

3. Removing the bulkheads allows the new cabinets to extend to the ceiling, giving the homeowners more storage and the kitchen a more spacious feel.

4. Quartz countertops and an apron-front sink round out the updates.

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

Background: Built in 1964, this home is in Carmel’s Deerfield neighborhood, just north of 96th Street.

THE CHALLENGE With a growing family and a cramped, outdated space, the homeowners were looking to make big changes to their kitchen. The goal was to modernize the floorplan with a wide-open space and provide unparalleled functionality and storage.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

“Nobody has more tools!”

Do you remember William Hung? He auditioned for “American Idol” back in 2004 and became famous GRAMMAR GUY for how delightfully bad his performance was. Hung’s version of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” for the judges was so bad, it actually endeared the nation to him. As a result, Hung had 15 seconds of fame performing the equivalent of lousy karaoke on various television shows.

That’s not the type of “hung” I want to tackle today. We’re here to discuss hang, hung and hanged. This tricky trifecta trips up the best of us. Let’s get it straight, shall we?

“Hang” is a present tense verb with a handful of meanings. It means to fasten, to let droop, to pay close attention, or attach tightly to something. It’s also an informal term for spending time with friends. Hang your coat on the hook. Hang out with the wrong crowd, and you’ll end up in jail. I like to hang from the monkey bars. I’m hanging by a moment here with you. You don’t really need me, but you keep me hanging on. Yes, those last two examples were song lyrics.

“Hung,” on the other hand, is the past tense form of “hang.” Almost always, “hung” is the proper past tense version of “hang” to use in your everyday vocabulary. William hung the curtains. We hung onto every second of William’s terrible audition. As a result, Hung hung out with other D-list celebrities. The public hung William out to dry after his novelty act wore off.

When it comes to “hanged,” we need to be very careful. It is the past tense and past participle of “hang” and should only be used when you’re talking in the past tense about a person who got put to death via hanging.

According to the AP Stylebook, “One hangs a picture, a criminal or oneself. Use hanged for executions or suicides; use hung for other actions.” That’s clear enough for me!

Remember it this way: curtains are hung and outlaws are hanged. I’m going to wrap it up because when I have to wait too long for meals, I get hangry, and you won’t like me when I’m hangry!
