Hamilton County residents will soon be paying higher taxes to fund the 911 dispatch center, but some ofPUBLIC SAFETY ficials say the existing fee structure has led to other police departments putting their officers at risk.

City and town councils representing more than half of the county’s population recently approved raising the local income tax from 1 to 1.1 percent to fund the dispatch center. The tax increase will go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Currently, the county uses a formula that bases each city’s fee to use the 911 dispatch center on the number of police and fire calls it receives. The more calls generated, the more a city pays as a percentage of the whole.

Some officials say that system has led to other police departments instructing their officers to not alert dispatchers – a process known as marking out – when conducting certain proactive police activities, such as security checks and foot patrols. By not marking out on certain calls, a municipality lowers its call volume and thus its portion of the fee to use the 911 dispatch center. But it also means that dispatchers might not immediately know an officer’s status or location should something unexpected happen.

Tim Horty, a former police officer who is now executive director of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, agrees the practice could create a safety issue.

“I can think of very few occasions when a uniformed officer is better off by not marking out of service on an investigation,” Horty said.

“The action typically would keep an officer safer and more efficient by having assistance close and keep the communication dispatcher informed.”

‘Nothing out of the ordinary’ According to information provided by Hamilton County, several municipalities have seen call volumes significantly drop in recent years.

The largest decrease occurred in Westfield.

Data provided by Hamilton County show that Westfield police and fire calls peaked at 62,385 in 2016 but dropped to 45,290 in 2017 and 31,885 in 2018. This occurred as the city’s population grew by more than 10 percent.

Westfield Police Dept. Asst. Chief Scott Jordan said WPD changed its policy regarding marking out in 2017 after it recorded the second-highest call volume in the county in

At the time, Westfield had 11.9 percent In 2016, for example, Fishers had 28.4 percent of the county’s population but 20.2 percent of of the county’s population but only 18.2 perpolice calls to the dispatch center. cent of its police calls.

Turquoise tables reach county

Boundaries are meant benext challenged.

Built for to your adventure.

By Renee Larr news@currentnoblesville.com A new movement that aims to foster community among residents and visitors has coming to Hamilton TOURISM County.

Kristin Schell created the Turquoise Table Movement in Austin, Texas.

Tables are placed strategically throughout a city as a meeting spot where people can enjoy conversation.

Hamilton County Tourism is responsible for making the concept local.

“We launched an initiative this year called Creative Economies,” Sarah Buckner, HCT destination development manager, stated in an email. “After speaking with artists, arts organizations and community event planners, I developed a team of arts leaders in the county. We took a trip to Minneapolis in June to the Americans for the Arts National Conference to learn about arts, community, placemaking. While exploring, we saw fun game tables. We liked that they brought people together to play a game and have a chat.”

A member of the team, Aili McGill, executive director of Nickel Plate Arts, informed

NHS teacher gets Brazilian jazz experience with Lilly grant

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Noblesvile High School Jazz Director and Assistant Band Director Bethany Robinson, her recent experiEDUCATION ences have been akin to winning the lottery twice.

For the second time in her career, Robinson earned a Lilly Endowment Teachers Creativity grant, receiving $12,000 to travel to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in June to meet and work with some of the most famous jazz musicians in the world. She met Brazilian Ivan Lins and Cuban Chucho Valdez, attended the Rio Montreux Jazz Festival and had a private lesson with Brazilian bassist Itibere Zwarg.

Robinson also attended a weeklong Brazilian music workshop in New York City in late July before school began.

Robinson said the best part of the experience was having renowned musicians serve as mentors.

“It’s the kindness of the people and their willingness to share their gifts with me,” Robinson said. “I don’t expect people to take the time to have a conversation, even if it’s their broken English or my broken Portuguese, let alone take the time to show me some of their techniques. In some ways, this allowed me to experience what my students experience on a daily basis, being out of my comfort zone and learning new things and start from scratch on a few things so your brain has to think about every single thing you are doing.”

Robinson planned to leave Oct. 12 to visit Rio to finish some of her writing goals.

While there, she was to meet with musicians to get feedback on the start of her compositions.

“My goal is to write some music our students can use at our spring concert in May (2020), our Jazz Cafe,” she said.

Robinson received her first grant in 2011.

“You’re able to get up to two in your lifetime, but they have to be seven years apart,” Robinson said. “So, as soon as I was able to apply for my second one, I did. I didn’t expect to get it the first time, so I feel very fortunate to have gotten two.”

The first grant was for $8,000 and was used for an American jazz project in New Orleans and New York City.

“I just explored the history of swing music and what the current state of it was,” Robinson said. “I think that was the cata-

lyst for me growing a really reputable jazz program in the state of Indiana. That first trip gave me the tools to start building a great jazz program here.”

Robinson, who has taught at Noblesville Schools for 15 years, said she is still reaping the benefits from the 2011 grant through the connections she made.

so people can come and pick their own. Those were my training wheels.”

Two years later, Spencer said he got the green light to plant the first crop of wine grapes.

“We doubled the size of it the next year, so we’re ready to go,” he said. “We’ve actually got quite a bit of wine in tanks right now that we’re hoping to introduce around Thanksgiving or so. In the meantime, we’ve been working with a winemaker in California and also in Michigan to diversify our offerings. Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah and pinot grigio, those aren’t grapes that I can grow here, but they’re names that people recognize, so we want to be able to offer it.”

He first offered test batches to friends and family, and not much has changed since those original bottles.

“I shared those batches to kind of get an idea of what people like, what I was doing well, what I was getting wrong,” Spencer said. “It’s all been pretty well-received, so we’re doing it on a bigger scale now that we’re a licensed winery.”

Historic Noblesville family farm launches winery

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

For nearly 40 years, a family farm in Noblesville has been a go-to destination for you-pick strawberries. The recent launch of a winery on the same propCOVER STORY erty is making it even more popular.

Spencer Farm Winery, 7177 E. 161st St., is the latest venture for the Spencer family. Spencer Farm has been owned and operated by Kyle and Lori Spencer since 1982, but their son, Mark Spencer, founded the winery, which opened its tasting room Oct. 1.

“As a kid on the farm, it was a great way to grow up. But when you’re working on it as a kid, you don’t appreciate it enough sometimes,” said Spencer, who previously worked for Angie’s List. “I wanted to get as far away as I could for awhile and realized, especially when I was living in Chicago, that the corporate world wasn’t for me. I got tired of being behind a desk, and the farm was getting a little bit big for just (my parents) to handle.

“So, we started talking about me coming back at some point in time. If I was going to come back, they wanted for me to not only help them handle what they had, but also expand what we do here.”

ate one of the farm’s many year-round projects. Most are seasonal, with strawberries taking up most of the spring and summer seasons, and pumpkins and mums consuming much of the fall and Christmas trees dominating the winter.

“Strawberries are what we’re known for, and it’s become a tradition for a lot of families to come out here and pick strawberries,” Spencer said. “As the population has grown around us, more and more people are coming out to do it.

The other seasons aren’t nearly as big as strawberry season, but they’re still very popular.”

A NEW UNDERTAKING

A trip to Temecula, Calif., to visit a friend exposed Spencer to the state’s southern-growing region for wine and table grapes.

“I just really enjoyed it,” he said. “That’s kind of where the idea came from to look into growing grapes here. I started with two vineyards of table grapes (in 2014). Those fit into the model that we already had, and those are still out there

ABOUT THE WINE

• Current offerings: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Farmhouse Red, Sweet Harvest Red, Pinot Grigio, Blueberry, Peach & Honey, Traminette • Future offerings: Catawba Rosé, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, Chambourcin/Marquette Blend, Marechal Foch, Noiret, Seyval Blanc, Strawberry, Sweet Traminette, Vidal Blank, Vignoles • Favorites: “For red wine drinkers, our Syrah has been well received,” Mark Spencer said. “For sweet wine drinkers, the peach and honey white wine has been a main interest.”

• Cost: $18-$22 per bottle • Guided tastings: For those who are unsure what to drink, tasting room staff offers a guided tasting for $5 for five, 1-ounce pours.

Spencer Farm’s operates on a 40-acre property on 161st Street in Noblesville.

The wine production operation and tasting room are in an 1883 farmhouse on the property Spencer Farms has been working for the past 15 years. Previously, the family had locations on Cherry Tree and River roads.

Until November 2018, the Spencers rented the home and later sold it to a family before repurchasing and renovating it.

“The husband of the family traveled a lot for work, and the house is a lot to take care of,” Spencer said. “I didn’t really want to put up a new building because it wouldn’t have the same feel, so we approached them about acquiring it, and the timing worked out for them, too. The whole thing was taken down to the studs. Like any old house, it had a lot of small rooms, so we opened up the space a lot.”

For now, Spencer said the tasting room is starting small.

“The tasting room is a space for people to simply gather and drink wine,” he said. “Is there going to be an opportunity for live music, trivia night, things like that? Yes, but we’re working on getting the basic operation down first.”

Spencer Farm Winery is open 3 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; 3 to 10 p.m. Friday; noon to 10 p.m. Saturday; 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday; and closed Monday.

ESSAY

LETTER

Holiday beacon

A marvel of redundancies

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, Mari Briggs’ letter of Sept. 24 was a marvel of redundancies (“Our forefathers had great foresee ability,” “the Second Amendment came after the first”) and broad generalizations. Her rambling arguments were mostly NRA talking points, concluding with her point that, “Someone wants to disarm the American people.”

Who is Briggs referring to? Our elected leaders? Victims of mass shootings? Citizens who oppose military weaponry in the hands of anyone with an itchy trigger finger? Briggs then explains that mass shooters are killing innocent people and children because the perpetrators are angry at the attacks on Second Amendment rights. According to Briggs, madmen with assault rifles are merely patriots doing a service for their country. I find this appalling.

Pamela Jackson, Noblesville

Even as the last days of summerlike sun warm our Hoosier families, thoughts begin to turn toward the coming winter. Merchants, eager to edge out the competition, have already begun squawking about the impending holiday seasons.

Forgive this column’s intrusion into an already crowded field of gate jumpers, too eager to skip this lovely season in anticipation of the next, but one holiday tradition stands to be revived and renewed just this year. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of John Deere farm and lawn equipment impresario Gary Reynolds and his wife, Cindy, the decades-long run (beginning in 1955, reflecting the love of the season with Gary’s parents Mac and Arline) held at the company’s former headquarters at Ind. 37 and I-465 will be continued with a new partnership and locale. Conner Prairie living history museum will now host the elaborate displays as a part of its new “A Merry Prairie Holiday,” from Nov. 29 to Dec. 29.

Reynolds and his family are well-known for their support of our communities, and this gift is no exception. Much planning and consideration has been given on how to best preserve the celebration, attract visitors to enjoy a new seasonal favorite at Conner Prairie while not burdening the nonprofit with the considerable effort of hosting the spectacular. As we struggle to take in the lights, now counting north of 1 million, we are able to make food donations along the way. This year, a familiar beacon — new to Conner Prairie — will light the season, and we’ll be there to see it.

Road rudeness drives me crazy Commentary by Danielle Wilson I have had it with mean drivers! And I’m petrified for my youngest, who recently obtained her permit. I’ve done the math: Her bad driving plus strangers’ HUMOR mean driving equals multiple insurance claims.

Take my recent trip to Columbus, Ohio.

In an effort to garner Favorite Aunt status, I drove six hours roundtrip to see a niece belt out “When You Wish Upon a Star” in her fifth-grade musical. I made the first leg without incident but hit trouble almost immediately during my return.

First, there were the three cars that refused to let me into their lane because I had not been duped into merging 2 miles earlier.

Friends, it’s called a zipper merge because you are supposed to continue all the way to the point of the closure, not get over immediately while you are still five towns back.

Pretending not to see me as they kissed

the car butts in front of them was just plain mean. It’s not my fault you’re a sucker!

Next, there were the two obnoxious truckers who drove side-by-side at 7 mph for 20 frustrating minutes this side of the Indiana border. No construction, no emergencies and no one in front of them. What the flip? I honked my horn. I tried to go around.

I even called their company numbers. All to no avail. Eventually, the semis moved on, but seriously? Why would they deliberately slow down traffic like that? Why? Because they are mean.

Look, I’ve got a new driver on the roads.

She’s going to need patience and a wide berth from each of you. Please don’t be mean! I can’t afford it! Peace out.

READER’S VIEW

Why all the hullabaloo?

Editor, It is always frustrating to hear slippery slope arguments like that of Mari Briggs of Sheridan attempting, like the NRA, to frighten gun owners.

First, I would like to remind everyone that when the Second Amendment was written, the U.S. did not have a standing Army. Our government could not afford to provide arms for volunteers, so they permitted private citizens to arm themselves so they were prepared if called upon to fight.

Second, the reference to “Democratic candidates” posing a threat to “innocent gun owners” suggests that arms will be confiscated should a Democrat take office. A certain number of “assault-style” weapons were banned in this nation for 10 years (1994-2004). There was no civil war

as a result. President Obama was in office for eight years, and there was never an attempt made to disarm this nation.

So, why all the hullabaloo? Most Americans in this nation want to see sensible gun control, but the NRA and those with their private war rooms hold on to their guns as if tomorrow was Armageddon. I, too, am a gun owner.

The difference is I use them for sport but never feel the need to carry to protect myself nor keep a loaded gun by my bed in case of an intruder or the breakout of civil war. Guns and rifles which accommodate large-capacity magazines are fine in the field of battle but do not belong within a civilized society.

Digesting Medicare alphabet soup Commentary by Bob Adams Medicare is notorious for throwing around acronyms like AEP, OEP, IEP and SEP. OMG! As if Medicare isn’t INSURANCE confusing enough.

IEP and SEP are for individuals new to Medicare. However, for folks already enrolled in Medicare, you will deal with AEP and OEP. So, what’s the difference?

The Annual Enrollment Period, or AEP, is the time of year from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 when individuals with Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) or prescription drug plans (Medicare Part D) can move to a different Medicare Part C or D plan. Please note it is not a guarantee that you can switch from one supplement to another supplement. You may change a supplement to a Medicare Advantage plan, otherwise the AEP is just about Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug plans. You can change your mind multiple times until Dec. 7, but after that date, whatever plan you choose will go into effect Jan. 1.

The Open Enrollment Period, or OEP, is the time of year from Jan. 1 to March 31 when individuals with a Medicare Advantage

plan can make one final move for the year.

You can move from a Medicare Advantage plan to another Medicare Advantage plan or change from a Medicare Advantage plan back to the original Medicare and drug plan. Here again, it is not a guarantee for a supplement.

To keep it simple, if you are having second thoughts about your Medicare Advantage plan, call your agent and ask them to review your options. Please be aware that agents and insurance companies are not allowed to market their products or services to you during the OEP. If someone calls you about making a change during the OEP, kindly dismiss them.

One final thought: Be sure to work with an independent agent who can offer you multiple options with different insurance providers. They will care more about what is best for you than what is best for themselves and the insurance company.

With that clarification, you can now LOL. Bob Adams is an independent insurance agent at Robert Adams Insurance. He may be contacted at 317-402-3171 or adams.ins@comcast.net.

Tailgaiting doesn’t speed up commute — Research out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2017 suggests that if we all keep an equal distance (similar to how birds in flocks fly), we’d get to our destinations twice as fast. The study confirmed that maintaining an equal distance between cars on either end of you gets you to your destination significantly faster than if you tailgate the car in front of you. Of course, you can’t control the car behind you, which is why we all need to get on the same page and stop tailgating.

CCP presents ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The iconic movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” has always been a favorite of Jan Jamison.

PLAY So naturally, the Westfield resident and director wanted to bring the play adaptation to the stage.

The 1967 movie featured Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier in the lead roles.

“Spencer Tracy died just 2 1/2 weeks after they concluded filming and they all knew he was sick,” Jamison said. “The emotions are very real, especially (Hepburn’s) face and reaction. The acting is superb. We don’t want to copy Tracy, Hepburn and Poitier. We want to have our own (portrayals).”

Carmel Community Players will present “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel, this month.

Like the movie, the play is set in 1967 when a daughter brings an older, black doctor she is dating home to meet her white parents.

“It was a bit of a shock,” Jamison said.

“They are a very liberal family, so they are faced with their own convictions of nonprejudice. It’s still pertinent today.”

Natalie Weber, a 2014 Guerin Catholic High School graduate who grew up in Fishers, is playing Joanna Drayton, the daughter.

“I was getting aggravated because I couldn’t find anything for me, but I saw they were going to have a role for someone 23, which is my age right now,” Weber said. “I was excited because I thought I could do this role. It’s a drama and a comedy. In college, I did improv comedy, so I’m used to more comedic roles. But since this one is more serious it will be interesting and challenging for me.”

Weber knew the premise of the movie.

“Jan got the cast together to watch the movie, which I thought was a really great way to get that camaraderie with the cast,” Weber said.

At the time, interracial marriage was still against the law in 17 states until struck down by a Supreme Court ruling in June 1967, shortly after the movie was

filmed.

Indianapolis resident Onis Dean plays Dr. John Prentice. Dean said he acts in musicals 95 percent of the time.

“My parents grew up loving Sidney Poitier, so when Jan saw me in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ (with Mud Creek Players) she said I should at least come and audition,” Dean said.

When he came in for the reading, Dean said he fell in love with the powerful script.

John D. Carver, Greenwood, is playing the role of Matt Drayton. It is his first show with CCP for the veteran community theater performer.

Carver was attracted to the role because of his admiration for Tracy.

“I’ve done ‘Inherit the Wind’ and a couple of other things that (Tracy has) done,” Carver said. “I like the man. I like his style.

I like his acting technique. This has been one of my favorite movies to watch over the years, so when I saw the auditions, I jumped at the chance.”

Marie McNelis, an Indianapolis resident, portrays Christina Dayton. McNelis acted in high school and college but only returned to acting a year ago.

“I was a speech and drama major in college,” McNelis said. “I put that on the shelf, then I retired and decided I wanted to dust that off and start up. Jan gave me my first role at Buck Creek Players in ‘37 Postcards.’”

McNelis said Jamison alerted her to the auditions for the role.

“I was in my freshman year in college when this came out, and I was just bowled over first by the subject matter and the wonderful acting done by Spencer Tracy and the underacting that was done

by Katharine Hepburn,” she said.

Westfield resident Lisa Warner plays Hillary St. George, who works with Christina Drayton at the art gallery.

Warner said it’s not a pleasant role to play because of her racism, but it’s essential to the storyline.

“I won’t even shake Dr. Prentice’s hand when he offers it,” Warner said of the racist nature of her character.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20 and 27.

Tickets are $15 for students and seniors and $17 for adults.

Local chefs in national spotlight

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Justin Miller, executive chef of Carmel’s Anthony’s Chophouse and 3UP, will have a chance to show his skills at a national competition.

COMPETITION Miller was named to Team Indiana, a group of Hoosier chefs and home cooks heading to Dallas to compete in the Oct. 16-20 World Food Championships.

Miller received his golden ticket to the WFC by winning the Taste of Piazza 2019 competition in Indianapolis. He will be assisted at the competition by Evan Slusher, Anthony’s Chophouse’s executive sous chef. Slusher, a 2011 Noblesville High School graduate, also assisted Miller in the Taste of Piazza in August at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The duo prepared a turkey dish.

“It’s a unique opportunity to show not just the cooking side of Indiana but Indiana products,” Miller said.

Miller said the golden ticket put the duo in one of 10 categories.

“We’ll be in the recipe category,” Miller said. “Our first round is decided for us. We have to make a vegan dish. Our second

round, we will present our signature dish.

Out of the 60 competitors in our category, the top 10 are selected, if we are fortunate enough to get that far.”

There are 1,500 competitors in the 10 categories, and 10 winners will later compete for $100,000.

Time for sweater-weather wine Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Pulling out sweaters and jeans this week has reminded me that with the change in weather, new, bolder WINEderlust wine selections are in order. With cool temps, we often want something that’s going to “warm us up.” In wine-speak, that translates into heavier-bodied, full-flavored reds.

There’s a great little wine shop at the northeast corner of 116th and Olio Road in Fishers called Tasteful Times. You can find each of the wines I’ll mention there. It also has a fun selection of artisanal local fare, which I love. Tell ‘em I sent you.

One of my very favorite varietals is inky, toffee-full Petit Sirah. For me, fall is permission to indulge! McManis ($12) makes this scrumptious, value-driven bottle. Dark black fruit is nearly overpowered with caramel and cocoa. Think about a dried blueberry covered in dark chocolate Milk Duds. The flavors are big, the finish is long and the price is low. If you’ve never given Petit Sirah a try, this is a great jumping-off point.

2017 Fidelity Red Wine Crazy Creek, Alexander Valley, will set you back a little more

than $15. A Bordeaux-style blend (merlot, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon) is a great value from California. The merlot contributes flavors of ripe blueberries and cordial cherries. The cabernet adds structure and a nice long finish while the petit verdot brings color, tannin and a pretty whiff of violets to the table. New French Oak adds warm vanilla to this bright little number.

Vindicated Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County ($18) stands out as a deal.

If you’ve traveled to this area, you’ll know what I mean when I say that this wine “smells” like Sonoma. Bright and brambly right off the bat (think ripe with blackberries and raspberries) with a little cocoa and lots of warm wood in the background. And the tiniest hint of eucalyptus. Medium tannins and strong structure with 14.4 percent ABV will warm you right up.

A very over-used word Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

The Burnt House in Jerusalem. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Horrors in the Burnt House Commentary by Don Knebel Jerusalem’s so-called “Burnt House” shows the horrors that befell Jewish families when first-century Roman TRAVEL soldiers brutally put down the First Jewish Revolt.

In the fall of 66 A.D., Jewish rebels managed to expel the hated Romans from Jerusalem and began extending their influence throughout Roman Judea. Emperor Nero dispatched 60,000 troops to the area, commanded by generals Vespasian and Titus. On August 29, 70 A.D., after a long and deadly siege, Titus and his troops broke down the walls and entered Jerusalem. They set fire to the city, destroying the Second Temple. The historian Josephus, who had led Jewish forces against the Romans, later reported that there were 1.1 million casualties from the First Jewish Revolt, most of them Jewish.

The horrors of the Roman siege and the burning of Jerusalem came to life after Israel gained control of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War and began excavating the Jewish Quarter. In 1970, archaeologists uncov-

ered the remains of a four-room manor on Mount Zion, once the home of Jerusalem’s elite because of its proximity to the Temple.

A stone weight found among the ashes identified the owner of the house as the Katros family, a family of Second Temple priests.

Coins dated the destruction to the time of the First Jewish Revolt. Also found in the kitchen were the forearm bones of a young woman, killed in the fire. In another room, archaeologists uncovered an iron spear, presumably used by a Jewish fighter living in the house. Oil lamps and other household items were buried among the rubble.

Today, the Burnt House is open to the public. In accordance with Jewish law, the bones of the young woman have been buried, but the house contains a picture of them. The spear still stands poignantly in the corner where it was discovered.

DISPATCHES Can I microwave this? — Microwaves are modern-day magical beasts that indulge our expectations of instant gratification and rescue children who forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer from the wrath of the parents who told them to do so.

However, if you try to nuke the wrong thing, your microwave just might breathe fire. To answer all your definitely not dumb questions about what the “wrong thing” to microwave actually is, there’s a website called Can You Microwave?. It covers everything from clothes (surprisingly, yes, with a few caveats) to cookie dough (sadly, no), and each entry contains an explanation of why

it does or doesn’t belong in a microwave. If the item is safe, the site also provides directions on how best to microwave it.

Paraffin is made from petroleum, which creates smoke that can be irritating to those with asthma and allergies. Beeswax candles emit almost no smoke so they are better for your air.

“Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it, and the writing will be just as it should be.”

GRAMMAR GUY -Mark Twain Here’s the scene: You offer to drive to lunch, and, just before everyone gets in, you make a mad sweep around your car, grabbing old to-go cups and discarded wrappers and putting them in an old Wendy’s bag. Maybe that’s not you; perhaps your car is somewhat tidier. Regardless, just as everyone gets into your car, you commence with the obligatory statement that goes something like this: “Sorry, my car is such a mess.

It’s very dirty. I’ve been meaning to vacuum it out for the past six years.”

Whether our car interiors are clean or not, we all repeat a version of the obligatory apology when we give someone else a ride. Guess what? It’s unnecessary. You have permission to quit apologizing.

Here’s a word we don’t need to say anymore: very. “The book was very funny.”

“The Olympian jumped very high.” “The president was very upset.” Boring.

If “very” is overused, as I suggest, what alternatives do we have? Let me propose two options. First, simply omit the word and proceed with your sentence as usual.

As Mr. Twain suggests, you should simply search your entire document (when writing) or somehow audit your brain for words it knows (when speaking), then merely delete the word from your entire lexicon. You don’t need to say or write “very” if you’re using it as a “filler” or “padding” word. The same thing goes for the word “really.” Really.

Rather than saying something is “very fast,” say it was “quick.” If you want to convey that something is “very good,” instead say that it is “superb.” Don’t say “very hungry.” “Ravenous” is much more interesting.

Substituting the word “very” will infuse your speech with the exact intensity or tone you want. So, either stop saying “very” or find a better word.
