Friends, peers remember Noblesville standout Courtney Cole

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com To her many friends, Courtney Cox Cole was always a catalyst.

“Courtney found a way to light up IN MEMORIAM a room wherever she was,” said Jill Almodovar, a former Noblesville High School basketball teammate and longtime friend.

Cole, whose maiden name was Cox, died at age 48 Sept.

22 after a 5 1/2-year battle with lung cancer.

Cole, who never smoked, was a standout Noblesville High School girls basketball player and golfer and played both sports at Indiana University. She was more well known in recent years for her “Sisters of Savings” radio spots with Courtney Cole was the former co-owner of Hare Chevrolet in her sister, Monica Peck.

“I would give her assists like I used to in high school,” radio spots – famously full of puns – for its new owners.

Almodovar said. “We were singing to ’80s music. She was “Everything Courtney did she found humor in it, and she doing everything she could to get out of her bed to get to found fun in it,” said Almodovar, who said she was friends me to hug me.” with Cox since seventh grade. “She always looked on the Almodovar, whose maiden name is Lyon, transferred from bright side. Never once did she falter that she was going Westfield schools to Noblesville in eighth grade. Cole was a to beat it. Never once did she give in and give up. Courtney year older and they began playing basketball together when was a winner until the very last day. I think, in a lot of Almodovar was a freshman. people’s eyes, she won this battle because she fought it The two played on the Millers’ unbeaten state champiwith grace and humor.” onship team in 1987, a state runner-up team in 1988 and Almodovar said Cole taught a lot of people lessons with reached the state semifinals3/20/19 in 1989.9:51 Cole inducted into the way she dealt with cancer.

star senior teammate on the 1987 NHS squad, died in her sleep Sept. 7.

“The Noblesville Athletic Dept. and community lost another pioneer (Sept 22),” NHD Athletic Director Leah Wooldridge said. “She was one of the most heralded student-athletes in Noblesville history. Courtney will be remembered as a fierce competitor, a successful businesswoman, a great mom and a great friend. She will be missed by all that had the privilege to know her.”

As a member of the Millers’ state girls golf championship teams in 1986 and ’87, Cole played two seasons for IU’s women’s basketball team before turning her full attention to golf. She made the NCAA tournament in golf in 1992 and ’93.

IU women’s basketball coach Teri Moren, who played collegiately at Purdue, remembers Cole on the court.

“I played against Courtney in both high school and college and remember her as a fierce competitor,” Moren said in a statement. “She took that same attitude as she battled cancer for the last six years. Courtney remained positive throughout her fight and became an inspiration to so many.

History will remember her as one of Indiana’s all-time greatest, but more importantly, she will be remembered as a genuine, funny, successful businesswoman and as a loving mother, daughter and sister.”

Cole is survived by daughter Cayla, 17, and son Blake, 14; her parents, Dave and Jackie Cox; sister, Monica (Darren) Peck; her fiancé, Tom New; her niece, Sydney Peck; and nephew, Alexander Peck.

Common council discusses business requests, street equipment Compiled by Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council met Sept. 24 at City Hall.

All councilors were present. The next council meeting is set for 7 p.m. Oct. 15 in the council chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 16 S. 10th St. For more, or to see an agenda, visit cityofnoblesville.org.

What happened: Council President Brian Ayer called for a moment of silence in honor of Courtney Cole, who was well-known in Noblesville for her basketball career at Noblesville High School and later at Indiana University. Cole’s voice also is well-known in Indiana for radio commercials for Hare Chevrolet, where she was one-half of the “Sisters of Savings” with her sister, Monica Peck What it means: Cole died Sept. 22 from lung cancer.

“Courtney Cox Cole, who most everyone knows in Noblesville, lost her battle,” Ayer said. “Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.”

Read more on Cole on page 5.

What happened: The council held a public hearing for a resolution allowing for an increase in the local income tax for 911 dispatch services in Hamilton County.

What it means: The local income tax will increase from 1 percent to 1.1 percent in January 2020. The council approved the resolution 9-0. Read more on page 3.

What happened: The council voted to approve a request for permanent, outdoor canopies at Chick-fil-A. What it means: Petitioners for the Chick-fil-A restaurant at 14098 Bergen Blvd. requested the construction of two outdoor canopies in the drivethru area.

The council approved the ordinance 7-2. Councilors Peterson and Rick Taylor voted no.

Read more on page 22.

What happened: Councilor Greg O’Connor gave an update from the parks board, for which he is the common council liaison.

What it means: O’Connor said he had several items of note from the most recent Parks Board meeting.

“We’ve heard from the parks director and director of golf that golf revenues are surprisingly up because the weather has been much better, so that’s a positive,” O’Connor said.

O’Connor also spoke on the progress of construction at Finch Creek Park.

“The Finch Creek Park construction should wrap up in the next 30 to 45 days,” he said. “If you’ve been out there recently, the pickleball courts are in, the shelter is in, so it’s probably more aesthetics that need to be finished.”

What happened: The council approved an appropriation transfer.

What it means: The council unanimously voted to approve an appropriation transfer in the motor vehicle highway fund for the purchase of a leaf vacuum by the Noblesville Street Dept.

City officials said the purchase originally was set to be included in the 2020 budget but that the street A Noblesville Street Dept. employee operates a leaf vacuum. department was in need of the (File photo) equipment before 2020.

“Normally, these types of purchases would be considered as part of the annual capital lease purchase agreement,” said Sam Beres, who presented the proposal to the council. “However, because that has already taken place, there aren’t enough funds from it. In this case, we would just be paying cash for the leaf vacuum.”

The estimated cost of the leaf vacuum is about $205,452. Of that, Beres said $12,000 will come from a vacancy savings account within the street department, and the remaining $193,000 will come from non-departmental contingency funds.

“I think this will be a nice addition for the fall for the street department with leaf collection, and it will also help from a safety standpoint,” councilor Greg O’Connor. “I think it’s a good move, and I think it will help the street department be more efficient. This is a good use of funds, I believe.”

The council approved the appropriation transfer 9-0.

Noblesville resident Dave Schweikert, 51, set a new world record for the most miles completed in

24 hours while riding continuously around a roundabout by bicycling 375 miles in the roundabout at Main Street and River Road in Carmel. He began the attempt at 7 p.m. Sept. 20 and completed 3,065 laps within a day. Charitable contributions donated on-site benefited World Bicycle Relief, an international nonprofit that distributes bicycles to aid in poverty relief. Schweikert raised $1,200 and said that’s enough to donate eight bikes, getting him that much closer to his personal goal of donating 1,000 bikes in his lifetime. (Photo by Ben Stout)

Seniors’ team bond benefits IUPUI

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com IUPUI senior women’s soccer players Bri Denny and Sophia Lipka have been playing together since they were 12.

SOCCER So, obviously, they know how each other ticks.

“She can get pretty crazy,” Denny said.

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

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

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

Chambers plays the midfield and Sterr is a defender.

“They’ve grown into four very solid, very dependable young ladies,” IUPUI coach Chris Johnson said. “They get it done in the classroom really well, too, and step up when we have volunteer service opportunities. All four players lead by example. Jenna is not

the most vocal player but kind of lets her play do the talking. Emma, Bri and Sophia are all more vocal types. Sophia and Bri have a little more demanding personalities.

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

Lipka, a Lawrence Township resident, and Denny started playing club together on FC Pride since they were 12. There were seven

freshmen in their class when they started in 2016.

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

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

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

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

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

Hamilton County’s misspelled landmark Commentary by David Heighway There is a body of water that flows through Fall Creek Township in the southeastern part of the HIGHLIGHTS county. It bends around IN HISTORY the community of Cyntheanne, crosses under Southeastern Parkway and 113th Street, and then empties into Geist Reservoir. It passes nice neighborhoods and has an elementary school named after it. It’s an identification point for the community. The irony of all this is that it has been referred to by the wrong name for more than a century.

The Thorpe Creek area has a more lively history than you may expect. The creek got its name from the first white settlers in the area – two brothers named James and Collins Tharp. In his 1901 history of the county, Augustus Finch Shirts says they were settlers. However, their names are not listed on any land purchase records. They had originally come from North Carolina and had a free African American woman as a part of their group. They are listed on the 1820 census in Delaware County, from which Hamilton County would be separated in 1823.

Shirts said that the most notable event of

The map shows Thorpe Creek winding from 113th Street northeast past 126th Street. (Submitted map)

their residence in the area was the death of one brother’s wife. They put her body into an old dugout canoe and rowed to a gravel bank on the east side of the mouth of the creek. Then they pegged a top on the canoe and buried it in the gravel. The gravesite is, of course, now under Geist. Soon after that, the families moved to Madison County, where they are listed on the 1830 census.

Their neighbors became famous (or infamous) soon after they left. These men were Andrew Sawyer and John Bridge. In 1824, they were part of a group that committed the brutal murder of some local Indians, which became known as the Fall Creek Massacre. Both men were convicted of murder and hung.

The first mention of the creek that can be found in a newspaper is in 1889 and refers to it as Tharp’s Creek. The “Tharp” name is consistent until around 1900, when it begins to be referred to as Thorp’s Creek.

It’s spelled both ways in the newspaper, sometimes without the apostrophe. Shirts is the first known source to add the letter “e” in his 1901 book. The name “Tharp Creek” appears on the official state soil map in 1912. Occasional uses of “Tharp” can be found in the newspaper until 1990. However, official maps now have it marked as Thorpe Creek.

Recycling do’s and don’ts Commentary by Sue Maki In a previous column I shared what is going on in the world of the recycling markets.

This week, I would ENVIRONMENT like to share what we all can do, no matter who our recycling contractor is, to ensure our recyclables are indeed recycled.

No Plastic Bags — This is a recent change as the industry has been battling clogged sorting equipment caused by loose plastic bags. What can you do instead? Return those plastic bags to your local grocer or big-box retailer. Most of them have plastic bag recycling receptacles that go to specialized facilities. Better yet, when you shop, get into the habit of bringing your own reusable bags instead.

Don’t use plastic bags to recycle — Another common issue is how to toss out your recyclables. Do not put recycling in a plastic bag because these filled bags are not opened during the recycling process.

Instead, they are tossed in the trash pile, headed to the landfill, unopened. Please keep recyclables loose.

Keep recyclables clean and dry — Foodsoiled or wet recycling tends to contaminate the entire load, and therefore is not

recycled and sent to the landfill. While you do not have to scour your container, you should rinse them out and make sure they are empty. And that peanut butter jar that has leftover peanut butter? Throw it out.

The energy used to clean that jar is more than the energy savings of recycling it. And that pizza box with grease spots? Throw it out, too.

Wishful recycling — This is a common issue that presents itself in almost every load. The garden hose, Styrofoam, window glass, cookware, batteries, landscape waste, etc. All these things and more are commonly put in recycling but they are not processed through the standard comingled recycling stream. If you want to be certain of an item’s acceptability in your recycling program, refer to your recycling contractor’s website. And for the Hamilton County recycling compactors? That information is posted on the County Household Hazardous Waste webpage at HamiltonCounty.in.gov.

Sue Maki is manager of the City of Carmel’s trash and recycling program and president of the Hamilton County Solid Waste Board, which oversees community recycling compactors in Noblesville.

That peanut butter jar that has leftover peanut butter? Throw it out. The energy used to clean that jar is more than the energy savings of recycling it.

City, downtown ready for fall season

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Each October, downtown Noblesville transitions into the holiday season as various organizations offer a variety of events ideal for cooler COVER STORY autumn weather and Halloween.

This weekend’s Fall Fest, organized by Noblesville Main Street on the downtown square, will serve as the official kickoff for autumnthemed events. From 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 4, the public can enjoy the annual soup cook-off, pumpkin decorating, hayrides, live music and more.

A number of popular events are returning after last year’s larger-than-expected crowds. More than 5,000 attended the 2018 Fall Fest. The annual soup cook-off, which features soup samplings from local restaurants, along with grilled cheese sandwiches made by the Noblesville Lions Club, is one of the highlights.

“The entries are well above last year’s,” said Craig Crosser, vice president of the Noblesville Main Street board. “The public will participate in who will win.”

In addition to pumpkin decorating for kids, professional pumpkin carver David A. Smith, featured on the Food Network’s “Halloween Wars,” will give demonstrations.

Another unique competition is the return of the annual CanStruction food drive, where teams of local architects, engineers, students, teachers, designers and others work together to create small-scale models of downtown buildings and other structures using donated canned and boxed foods. The teams will unveil the displays in local business storefronts and windows Oct. 4. The pieces will be on display through Oct. 11. The food will then be donated to local food pantries.

Downtown businesses on and near the square also will take part in the event by handing out candy to kids for a night of early trick-or-treating. Participating businesses include Old Picket Fence, Nickel Plate Arts, LittleGypsie Boutique, Lil Bloomers, Noblesville Antique Mall, Courtney’s Kitchen, Shine Yoga, Across The Pond, Logan Village Mall and All Local.

While exploring CanStruction and trick-or-treating, Fall Fest guests also can see entries for the annual scarecrow contest, which began last month and features themed scarecrows made by local residents, businesses and organizations. Learn more at noblesvillemainstreet.org/events.

ESSAY

LETTER

Time passages

Don’t beat a dead horse

Commentary by Terry Anker Do little kids still learn to ride bikes? There was a time, not so long ago in America, when every child had a bicycle and knew how to ride it. Outside the small-town pharmacy with the soda fountain, there would be a pile of them strewn on the sidewalk, as if their owners couldn’t wait to park them properly before rushing to the candy counter. But today, one is more likely to see the youngsters piling out of the family SUV with some patient adult texting away while sitting on the front seat.

Is it that we have more time to deliver them to their many obligations? Is it that they are too tired from travel soccer? Is it that rising crime leads us to fear allowing them to bike or walk to the corner store? Is it that the corner store has been replaced with some behemoth retail outlet where one needs a bicycle to manage the aisles rather than one to get there?

Regardless the reason, these small humans have stopped pedaling.

Maybe it is a good thing. Isn’t it always better to get a ride than walk? Isn’t it always better to be a passenger than in charge? Well, maybe not so much. What is being taken away from our kids in our generous desire to “help” them?

What skill is not being developed?

What confidence is not being found? Without unnecessarily waxing poetic about the halcyon days of yore, we did learn that a bent nail can repair a broken bicycle chain in a pinch. And, we all knew that we had to get home before the tire went completely flat or we’d be walking. Maybe it is not a video game, but isn’t it something?

Not missing toddler time Commentary by Danielle Wilson Oh, my goodness, I can’t tell you how happy I am not to be pregnant and/or raising toddlers. Wait. Who am I kidding? Of course I can tell you!

A friend of mine is in labor HUMOR as I type. First baby, doesn’t know what she’s having, she’s been simultaneously excited and terrified. I’ve watched her go from “looking pregnant” to having to elevate her swollen feet after waddling a short ways, hand to lower back. She’s had to consider pediatricians and car seats and finding the perfect name that satisfies not only her and her husband but also her parents and in-laws, and one that won’t be associated with the next Hollywood scandal.

She’s learned Lamaze and built a crib and survived awkward baby showers, all without the help of caffeine or booze. And now, after 10 months, she’s literally birthing that little miracle through the sheer superpower of womanhood. I’m exhausted just writing this

paragraph.

And that’s only the beginning. Soon, that precious angel will start to walk and talk and attempt to scale the pantry shelves. My youngest sister was visiting with her kiddos, 3 and newly 5, and I couldn’t help but flash back to my own era with preschoolers.

Sugar-induced tantrums, the battle over bedtimes, lost woobies, poopy pants … the horror! Sure, the wine helps, but keeping those rugrats alive and on the path to eventual home ownership is a constant source of anxiety and sleepless nights. Teenagers bring their own set of worries, but at least you can ship them off to boarding school.

I can’t tell you how great it is to be past this nonsense!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” — Walt Disney

Editor, In response to Wendy Wheeler’s Sept. 17 letter to the editor, I respect her opinion, but she is wrong.

One hundred and thirty (U.S.) Representatives want impeachment. More than half the country does not. The Democrats put Mueller in as special, incompetent prosecutor, who hired all Clinton supporters, not a very impartial group. It’s pretty obvious Trump was right and the Dems were wrong. It’s settled. Don’t beat a dead horse.

All the convictions (Wheeler) mentioned were not about collusion or corruption. America spent $40 million on this fiasco and is starting to spend another $40 million on fiasco Part 2. After watching the (former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey) Lewandowski questioning, a joke, Congress is the laughing stock of our government.

Thank god we have a great president who is practical, not political. Wendy, you need to look at what is best for the country, not who you don’t like for whatever reason.

Richard Stoffel, Noblesville

Congress is the laughing stock of our government.

IU Health staff doctors up county park for day of service

MINIMUM BALANCE OF $10,000

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Staff from IU Health North and Saxony hospitals spent time Sept. 20 performing a day of service at Geist GIVING BACK Park in Fishers. Staff members planted trees and a rain garden and beautified trails, repaired picnic tables, spread mulch and built shelters during the 11th annual event.

“We do a great job inside our walls, and this is a way of helping the community by creating a way to have access to trails and lead a healthy lifestyle,” IU Health Regional President Doug Puckett said. “Part of our Community Health Needs Assessment identified obesity as a key issue, and we also know from research that people who regularly use parks have lower-than-average obesity rates.”

Approximately 150 staff members, who di-

vided into two groups and worked one shift each, participated in the day of service.

Carl Zenor, a senior project manager for IU Health Saxony in Fishers, has participated in all 11 day of service events.

“It’s awesome to be able to give back to the community,” Zenor said. “We spend so much time helping patients within the walls of the hospital, but to be able to go out and do something for a community that doesn’t always see us is a good effort.”

The occasion marked the hospital’s first time working in Geist Park. Previously, it has sent volunteer groups to Cool Creek Park in Westfield and Coxhall Gardens in Carmel.

Puckett said there were projects at each hospital for staff members who couldn’t participate in the day of service, such as putting milkweed seed packets together and painting kindness rocks.

Canopies for Chick-fil-A approved

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com At its Sept. 24 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council gave final approval for a request from Chick-filA to build two outdoor canopies above EXIT 210 its drive-thru lanes.

Store operator Sam Hartman petitioned the city to build the structures at his restaurant at 14098 Bergen Blvd., off Exit 210 near Hamilton Town Center in the Saxony Corporate Campus.

The amendment to the original development plan was approved 7-2, with councilors Darren Peterson and Rick Taylor voting no.

Before voting, Taylor voiced concerns about the precedent an approval would set.

“My concerns are that we’re going to have other (restaurant owners) come in front of us to do the same thing,” Taylor said. “Let’s not forget we have another Chick-fil-A in town, and they have the same issue there as they do out at Exit 210.”

Noblesville Planning Director Sarah Reed said the sites for the restaurants at Bergen Boulevard and at 16685 Mercantile Blvd., just off Ind. 37, vary significantly.

“We review each site specifically for its own unique elements,” Reed said. “(The other Chick-fil-A) site is way more packed than this particular one. I know that this sets a precedent, but we review each site

individually before we make a favorable or unfavorable recommendation.”

Councilor Darren Peterson said although he believes the petitioners have worked hard to make the canopies look more appealing for the site, he is concerned for the safety of employees working outdoor in the drive-thru area.

Hartman said employees will continue to work outside.

“We’ve had people outside taking orders and expediting food through the pass-thru window for years now without these canopies,” Hartman said. “So, the addition of the canopies would actually allow us to be safer, not only from a weather standpoint, but from a light standpoint. The canopies have the lighting included in them. It will be an opportunity for my team to be able to be safer from cars and weather.”

DISPATCHES Reducing debt should be a priority — We say we don’t want debt, but we act a different way. Americans’ number-one financial goal for 2018 seems a laudable one — reducing the amount of debt they owe, with more than half of the people in a recent representative survey, 53 percent, describing that as their top priority. The same survey by Northwestern Mutual, however, shows that Americans are in fact digging themselves further into debt. The survey notes that while 33 percent of Americans owe between $5,001 and $25,000, only 17 percent of us have saved a similar amount outside of our retirement accounts.

More than threequarters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged.

Snyder returns after long hiatus to perform as Donna in Civic Theatre’s ‘Mamma Mia!’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Kara Snyder heard Civic Theatre was presenting “Mamma Mia!,” she knew it was time to return to the MUSICAL stage.

“It’s been 15 years since I’ve been on stage doing anything in theater,” Snyder said. “I really love this show.

There are not that many opportunities for shows that I feel I will be a good fit for.”

The Westfield resident, who took a break from acting to raise her four children, will perform as Donna in the musical, which runs Oct. 4 to 19 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The musical centers on Donna’s daughter, Sophie, who wants to learn the identity of her father on the eve of her wedding.

Her pursuit of the identity brings three men back to the Greek Islands, where they hadn’t been for 20 years.

Snyder said she was in a couple of Civic Theatre shows 15 to 20 years ago.

Snyder said she was even more excited to work on “Mamma Mia!” when she found out Anne Beck was the director and choreographer. Snyder had worked on previous shows when Beck was the music director.

“I directed and choreographed the show last year for Zionsville (Community) High School and was able to learn there was much more to it than the excellent music of ABBA,” said Beck, a Fishers resident.

“It has grown to be a favorite after diving into its script more and more because there are so many themes people of all ages can relate to.”

Beck said the challenge with “Mamma Mia!” is giving equal emphasis to the huge amount of musical numbers and meaty script for Donna’s story and Sophie’s journey.

“With ‘Mamma Mia!’ being an iconic film, more patrons have seen it over the Broadway show,” Beck said. “It is important to make this show our version, let this cast shine, create our own Greek chorus that enhances the story and its characters,

Spay earns surprising award

By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com When Stephanie Spay found out she had two pieces accepted into the Hoosier Salon 95th Annual Exhibition, the NoblesART ville artist was honored but also sad knowing she’d be out of town for the preview show and awards night.

That meant Spay didn’t know until later her piece, “The Stillness Within” took the third place prize in the portrait category.

Spay Spay’s piece was inspired by her son. Her second work in the exhibition,“The Art of Family,” is a portrait of her family and “our inner-selves as we exist along side each other.”

“It is a commentary on life as a mother, wife, and homeschooling mother, creating in the midst of all of the expectations that come with these titles,” she said. “It is a portrait of a father who travels throughout the week desperate for conversation and connection. It is a portrait of the here and now of being the child within a family unit, expected to grow up and mature, but hangMUSIC AND LYRICS BY

So, here’s the truth about so Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Statue of Queen Elisabeth (Sisi) in Budapest, Hungary (Photo by Don Knebel)

Life of the beautiful Sisi Commentary by Don Knebel Most visitors to Austria and Hungary soon learn about Elisabeth, the beautiful and troubled Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary widely known as TRAVEL Sisi.

Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie was born in Munich in 1837 to a Bavarian duke and his wife. She had received little formal education when, unknown at age 15, the 5-foot-8 Sisi caught the eye of Franz Joseph I, the 23-year-old Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. Engaged five days after their meeting, they married eight months later in Vienna. The royal court began distributing paintings and busts of the carefree and energetic young queen, claiming that she was the most beautiful woman in Europe. Sisi took this claim seriously, with courtesans spending up to two hours a day arranging her ankle-length dark hair. She reduced her natural 18-inch waist using an imported leather corset that took an hour to lace up. Her ballroom gown with a 16-inch waist is on display at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Despite having four

children in rapid succession, she maintained her weight by fasting and constant exercise, weighing herself at least three times a day.

Sisi hated the restricted life in the palace and went on long trips, often to Hungary, which she adored. When her 2-year-old daughter Sophie died in 1857, she entered a period of depression from which she never fully recovered. The depression deepened in 1889 when Crown Prince Rudolf, her only son, died in a suicide pact with his mistress. As Sisi’s beauty faded with age, she avoided public appearances, often traveling incognito. On one such visit to Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in 1898, an anarchist recognized her and stabbed her to death.

Monuments to Sisi soon began appearing all across Europe. One of the most impressive is near a bridge in Budapest named in her honor.

DISPATCHES Fresher bread — If you refrigerate bread to keep it longer, you’re actually shortening its life. When bread is stored in a refrigerator, the cold causes the starches to recrystallize and harden so it gets stale more quickly than at warmer temperatures.

Freezing, however, dramatically slows the process down. Bread should be stored at room temperature for only a few days, or frozen for longer storage.

Vinegar to remove odors — If a room has a lingering odor because of some food you prepared, or you painted, try absorbing the odor with vinegar. Set a bowl of vinegar in the affected room for about 30 minutes. The odor should be much less noticeable.

When your significant other starts a conversation with, “So, we need to talk,” you know it’s over.

GRAMMAR GUY You immediately flip through the pages of your relationship, scanning for any glaring issues or things for which you should be sorry. You’re on the defensive.

You might even think about who gets to keep which friend after the impending break-up.

Some — perhaps many — people believe fervently it’s not kosher to begin a sentence with “so.” I’m here to advocate for the use of “so” as an acceptable sentence starter. If this is a deal-breaker for the relationship between you and me, then I agree that it’s time for us to start seeing other people.

“So” is a coordinating conjunction. This type of conjunction’s prime purpose is to join other sentence elements that go together. In case you’re wondering, it’s easy to remember English’s seven coordinating conjunctions — just remember “fanboys.”

Fanboys stands for “for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so.” So, if this type of conjunction

joins related parts of a sentence, how is it acceptable to start a sentence with one? I thought you’d never ask.

According to the Chicago Manual of Style, “There is a widespread belief — one with no historical or grammatical foundation — that it is an error to begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but or so. In fact, a substantial percentage (often as many as 10 percent) of the sentences in first-rate writing begin with conjunctions. It has been so for centuries, and even the most conservative grammarians have followed this practice.”

While we could probably connect sentences that begin with “so” to prior sentences with semicolons to show the connection between the two thoughts, we don’t need to do this in everyday speech.

If you’re addressing the U.N., maybe try to avoid starting a sentence with “so.”

Otherwise, you have my permission to “so” away.
