Roger called Shelbourne Knee Center. At age 62 he didn’t want to hang up the soccer cleats or give up the trail runs with his dog Cowboy. And after a successful total knee replacement it looks like he won’t have to. In Roger’s words, “The biggest thing is I’m walking pain free.” And for Roger, those are pretty nice words to live by.

A recent Shelbourne Knee Center study found that patients took 85% less pain medicine and had improved pain control after undergoing Shelbourne’s knee replacement process versus the with your life. In Roger’s case that means kicking soccer balls and getting back on the trail. He’s always had the heart to do it. Now he’s also got the knee.

Horseshoe Prairie Chapter officers Becky Nazarenus, treasurer; Sharon McMahon, vice regent and historian; Jan Winkler, corresponding secretary; Lyn Scheier, registrar; Mary Ann Lockhart, recording secretary; and Amanda Mizell, regent. Last month, the Horseshoe Prairie Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, presented a ceremony in recognition of those who lost their lives while serving in World War I, also known as “The Great War.” Chapters of DAR across the nation are recognizing the war’s 100th anniversary. Thirty-one soldiers from Hamilton County died in World War I, and those names are inscribed on the Memorial Wall plaque on the grounds of the Historic Hamilton County Courthouse in downtown Noblesville. The memorial ceremony included the playing of bagpipes, reading of the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written in 1915, a solo of “Proud to be an American” by Bruce McMahon, a 21-gun salute provided by the Navy Club USA Hamilton County Ship 29, and conncluded with the playing of “Taps” and laying of the 100th Anniversary Memorial Wreath.

Ramp from 146th St. planned

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Those who have long desired access from 146th Street to southbound Keystone Parkway are a transportation step closer to getting their wish.

City of Carmel Engineer Jeremy Kashman said his department is working closely with the Hamilton County Highway Dept. on a ramp project to extend Lowes Way south from 146th Street over Keystone Parkway and connect to a new ramp to southbound Keystone Parkway.

Construction on Phase 1 is projected to start in April 2018 and be complete in October 2019. The estimated cost is $12 million.

“As part of a second phase, the new Lowes Way extension will go further south and east to Range Line Road,” Kashman said. “We see this as a positive step to provide more access to Keystone Parkway, particularly for traffic heading to Carmel High School. This new ramp should alleviate some of the congestion we currently see at the roundabout interchange at 136th Street and Keystone Parkway.”

County parks department offers Native American Village tours at Strawtown Koteewi

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com For the past decade, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation has offered area residents a look into cover story the past with its Native American Village tours at Strawtown Koteewi Park in Noblesville.

And in the past year, the department has taken strides to provide guests a more interactive experience with the completion of Koteewi Trace, an interpretive exhibit of Native American structures.

Christy Brocken, who has worked with Hamilton County Parks and Recreation since 2006, and has been its historical resource specialist since 2014, gives Native American Village tours each week at the park.

“We usually start out in our exhibit room and talk about some of the overall history of the park, how the park came to be and the development of the park,” Brocken said.

“We talk about the fact that we have now designated over 140 archaeological sites on the property, and then we also have four sites listed on the National Register (of Historic Places). So we highlight that and then talk about some of the things that we’ve learned by doing some of the archaeological investigations on the park.”

Brocken said much of the history of the park focuses on the late-Woodland time period (A.D. 600 to A.D. 1200).

“That’s where most of our archaeological research was done, but we do have artifacts that are representative of virtually every time period in Indiana,” Brocken said.

“Some of our earliest artifacts could be as old as 10,500 years old, all the way up to European contact.”

The tours also go through two specific areas of the park.

“We have two sites that are from that

late-Woodland time period – the Castor Farms site and the Strawtown Enclosure site,” Brocken said. “There’s one site in particular, the Strawtown Enclosure, that site has been a known village and archaeo-

logical site (before this became Strawtown Koteewi Park),” Brocken said. “In fact, Eli Lilly had visited this site in the 1930s, but there were no professional archaeological excavations done on the property.”

strawtown koteewi park history The Delaware tribe inhabited the area around 1795. The Miami Native Americans were said to have lived and traveled in the area. The first European settlers arrived in the area in 1818 and the Treaty of St. Mary’s called for the natives to vacate their lands by 1821.

In 1823, Hamilton County was created

by Indiana state legislators and made up of two townships – Delaware, consisting of the southern half, and White River, the northern half.

Strawtown is one of the oldest towns in Hamilton County. On July 27, 1836, Bicknell Cole and William Conner recorded

the first plat of Strawtown, even though the name had been used prior but did not have any record.

Many settlers came to the area because of the farmland and ease of travel.

The first school opened in the winter of 1822 and was a cabin on the Michael French farm, north of Strawtown. Strawtown was a candidate to become the state capitol because the area was highly traveled by settlers.

Approximately 750 acres of the 810-acre park was purchased by Hamilton County in 1999 from the estate of local resident Dan Taylor.

Tours are given every weekend at 11 a.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Each tour can easily accommodate approximately 20 people, but large groups are asked to call ahead. Anyone is welcome. Here are upcoming tour dates: • 11 a.m. to noon, Oct. 28 • 2 to 3 p.m., Oct. 29 • 11 a.m. to noon, Nov. 4 • 2 to 3 p.m., Nov. 5 • 11 a.m. to noon, Nov. 11 • 2 to 3 p.m., Nov. 12 • 11 a.m. to noon, Nov. 18 • 2 to 3 p.m., Nov. 19 • 11 a.m. to noon, Nov. 25 • 2 to 3 p.m., Nov. 26 In addition to Castor Farms and the Strawtown Enclosure, tours go through the new Koteewi Trace, which features a house and community building modeled after Native American villages in the area during the late-Woodland period.

“We also have a partial stockade wall, a partial ditch that would have gone around one of these sites and a mock excavation that’s made out of concrete,” Brocken said.

Strawtown Koteewi Park no longer permits archaeological excavations. The most recent excavation was done in 2011.

“We do highlight the various artifacts that have been found here, and we try to talk about the best way that we’ve tried to reconstruct some of the pieces of life ways,” Brocken said. “For every artifact we find, we assume five or six more have decomposed, so we’re really only seeing a snapshot. It’s important for us to share what we have learned.”

Weathering sleep deprivation

o b s e r v at i o n Value of self-worth Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

In a lifetime of work, some things go well and some things proceed not so well.

But, if we are lucky and persevere, one can manage to pull together a bit of success.

A few find themselves having built a most impressive operation – highly productive and well-regarded by all who bear witness.

One might imagine that such a person would naturally expect to be granted suitable compensation for such success. But, all too often, it doesn’t work out that way.

Income disparity and performance variability are the hobgoblin of our modern age.

Shouldn’t the hardest-working and most intellectually adroit merit the highest gratitude in our society?

If one is not properly appreciated (because of gender, address or otherwise), how can it not be appropriate to ask why?

In these many years on the planet, most of us come to know that humans are selfinterested. Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith wrote that most of us care more about the splinter in our finger than the death of a million in China.

We all have internal and external motivators. Certainly, there are times when the external motivators are weak. However, we have enormous sway over what and how motivation comes from inside. Taking measure of our own worth is incumbent only upon us – it is derived from within and unknown to others. Do blaming others for not seeing our worth fall to them? Or, does the responsibility to be noticed and treated fairly end with ourselves? Their perspective may make our challenge difficult. Yet, mustn’t we learn and value our own contributions because few others ever will?

Well, I experienced another near-perfect storm the other night. Not enough sleep, a long day at work, anxiety over humor driving a mini-bus with eight teenagers to West Lafayette the following morning and a Community Night filled with detailed descriptions of 75-plus marching band movements, four alumni award presentations and a litany of “thank yous” that I may have actually dozed off during. By 9:15, I couldn’t hold back the complaining, eye-rolling or phone Solitaire wave of exhaustion and impatience. Doo did not find me entertaining and handed me the keys. Message? “If you can’t pull your shtick together right now, leave. This is about our daughter. And the car I might win.” Fine. His stinky breath was driving me bonkers, anyway. And yes, I told him.

The problem is that when I’m severely sleep-deprived and “stuck” at an event, I completely ignore everyone else around me and focus on how awful I feel. I can usually buy time by retreating to a bathroom, but often I just revert to rudeness. I simply cannot control the expressions on my face or the words that come out of my mouth, even though I know they are hurtful and/or disrespectful. It’s total decompensation.

Through the years, Doo has learned to recognize the signs and does his best to “handle” me before I go Chernobyl. I must have been throwing off major radiation warnings because after five more minutes of me pouting (I couldn’t actually leave; I’d just have to come back for him), he called the ball. I was home in bed within minutes.

So despite the near-perfect storm, the Danielle Wilson did not sink. Thanks, Doo! Peace out.

REA D ER ’ S VIE W Weinstein’s ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ Editor, The New York Times’ reporting on movie producer Harvey Weinstein’s longterm sexual harassment of women, and its cover-up, is the latest example of a powerful person abusing his station and getting away with it for decades. He has pleaded for us to allow him to wipe the slate clean.

Would the public allow such an ogre to have a second chance so easily? I would like to believe the answer is no, but voters have already written Mr. Weinstein’s “Silver Linings Playbook” script.

The main character is a narcissistic senior citizen, who has lived an unethical and dissipated life. He is socially liberal and tends to support progressive politicians because he enjoys rubbing elbows with important people.

Our power-hungry main character, let’s call him Don, decides to make over

his image, which has suffered due to his habit of sexually assaulting women and other personal failings. He comes up with a far-fetched, but ingenious plan. He will swear off all of his progressive opinions and acquaintances and become a man of the people – a populist! Don discovers that many fiscal conservatives also will ignore his bad behavior if he promises them tax cuts and irresponsible environmental policies. But, our man’s most fervent support comes from the NRA and white supremacists.

Think this script is surreal nonsense and could never happen in a great nation like ours? I did, too, until the last election. Women, and all of us who care about them, deserve better than the Harvey Weinsteins in our life.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@yoarecurrent.com Riverview Health physical therapist Carolyn Cebalo is a strong proponent of dry needling, which is procedure used for multitude of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.

“It can be done for tight muscles, trigger points in muscles, scar tissue and for pain relief,” said Cebalo, who has been using the procedure for six years. “I know (it’s) a bit counter intuitive, but the technique pushes the body to self-heal the lesion caused by the needle, and the hormones released in the healing process are our endorphins.”

Cebalo said the procedure has been growing in popularity and that dry needling differs from acupuncture in that the needle placement is not based on traditional Chinese medicine of designated points on the body.

“Acupuncture can place needles along meridians and help with energy flow, but dry needling involves finding myofasical trigger points, knots, in muscles that are small, contracted bands within muscle fibers that can contribute to pain and

muscle dysfunction,” Cebalo said. “Dry needling can also be used to treat scar tissue. It can help assist with stimulating connective tissue cells for remodeling of tissue and improving scars.”

Cebalo said how long the benefits last depends on many factors, like how long the dysfunction has been present, and things like postural deficits or repetitive job duties can play a part.

“Some people have chronic conditions that may not allow the dysfunction to just go away,” Cebalo said. “It doesn’t mean that they won’t get benefits from dry needling, they may just need maintenance through the years.”

Bash Boutique opens in Noblesville

By Chris Bavender news@currentinwestfield.com Three years after its flagship store opened in Wabash, Bash Boutique has set up shop in the heart of downtown Noblesville next to Old Picket now open Fence Antique Shop.

Owner Amber Noone said the rich tradition of the historic downtown drew her to the location.

“I love smaller towns, and I like the sense of community and collaboration,” Noone said. “I thought the location of the square in Noblesville would be perfect for a store like Bash. We seem to do well when we have other shops and restaurants to complement our store.”

The name of the boutique is a shortened version of Wabash, where Noone opened her first shop in 2014 after falling in love with the “quaintness” of the town. She opened her second store in downtown Westfield in 2015.

“I love the feel of the downtown areas, and I love to hear people supporting local and where they live,” Noone said. “Smaller town economies are coming back, and I think that’s very exciting. I want people to be able to shop in their own town. I love

when customers say they love it, that they are able to buy unique items where they live. I also think it’s the nostalgia of thinking about how people used to be able to shop at home in the past, and we want to do our part in bringing just a bit of that back.”

Bash Boutique offers apparel ranging from casual to business and a wide variety of accessories, fragrances, jewelry and gifts, including its own branded signature soaps and lotions. Some of the store’s more popular items, Noone said, are Liverpool jeans, KUT from the Kloth and Brighton.

Prices range from $20 to $100.

“I think we offer timeless pieces that you can wear multiple years,” she said. “I feel like our style is sophisticated and classy.”

Noone said when it comes to the ambiance of Bash Boutique, her motto is “Simple.

Sincere and sweet.”

“I want our customers to feel welcome when they come in our door and feel a sense of peace when they are shopping,” she said. “The shop is decorated in very neutral décor because many times I want our merchandise to stand out.”

Bash, 884 Logan St., is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Son continues legacy of Sammy Terry

By Mark Johnson editorial@youarecurrent.com Does this bring back memories? It’s Friday night in the 1970s or ’80s, depending on your age. It’s 11:30 p.m. and local newscasts have just ended. You and your siblings and perhaps your friends are camped in front of a pre-cable, fourchannel television. Preparations have been made: Popcorn, check. Soft drinks, check. Pillow and blankets, check. Now, the voice of the announcer chimes in with the station identification: “WTTV, Channel 4.” As the screen fades to black, you hear the sound of an eerie wind and a ghostly voice recite a chilling monologue that ends with, “It’s time … for … Sammy Terry!”

Then, you watch, with a fearful anticipation, as the lid to the coffin creaks open and a cowled figure rises with a fiendish, ghoulish grin. What comes next is the stuff of local legend: A sinister, bloodcurdling laugh that has spooked generations of Hoosiers. Face painted in horrific make-up, the figure introduces himself as “Sammy Terry” and welcomes you to “Nightmare Theatre!” And so begins a funfilled night of scares and chills, as Sammy Terry hosts a marathon of horror films, with Sammy offering commentary, jokes and guests with his sidekick, “George, the Spider,” and other recurring characters, such as “Ghoulsby, the butler.”

For those of us who grew up in central Indiana during the years 1962-89, this was certainly a familiar scene, if not a weekend ritual. “Sammy Terry’s Nightmare Theatre” marked the beginning of the weekend, and many looked forward to those

‘Weird Al’ to appear at Palladium in March 2018 editorial@youarecurrent.com

late-night marathons featuring everything from classic horror films to laughably lowbudget, B-grade fare.

Created by Robert “Bob” Carter in 1962, the character of Sammy Terry hosted Nightmare Theatre until 1989. The character continued to make guest appearances in commercials and at Halloween-related events. Today, the characters remain extremely popular in the horror community, thanks to Carter’s son, Mark, who took over the role in 2010. Bob Carter passed away in 2013.

“There was never a feeling of grooming me for the role,” said Carter, a Fishers resident. “I never imagined that I’d take over the role. My feeling was that was dad’s work, and that the character would die with him.”

That changed in 2010, when the town of Brownstown requested Sammy Terry merchandise for a local event.

“Dad asked me to take the merchandise, and there was this huge crowd,” Carter said. “We sold out of everything, there was nothing left. Dad realized that there was still a following and a fan base for Sammy Terry, so he asked me if I would

take on the role.”

Of course, Carter had gained experience working alongside his father as both “George and “Ghoulsby.” “I remember that I would be excused early from school on Fridays during my middle and high school years,” Carter said with a laugh. “I would play George and Ghoulsby.”

For Carter, the best part of playing Sammy is the live appearances.

“I really feel a sense of gratitude and enjoyment when I meet the fans,” he said.

“There are people there with tears in their eyes because Sammy represents a fond memory for them or memories of happy times with friends or family. I’m honored to be a part of that.

I’m sometimes asked if I will ever change, upgrade or update the character.

Based on Sammy’s fan base, that would negate their memories. I want to honor those memories as well as honor and preserve my dad’s legacy. The live events are filled with people who grew up in Indiana, and Sammy is a part of that Hoosier heritage. Sammy Terry is a Hoosier, through and through.”

Upcoming appearances • Indiana Landmarks Center, Indianapolis, Oct. 27, 7:30 to 10 p.m. Sammy hosts the silent film, “Nosferatu,” accompanied by a live organist. Visit IndianaLandmarks.org for more info.

• “The Key” Haunted Escape Rooms at Post Road Recreation Center Oct. 28 6 to 10 p.m. visit postroadrecreationcenter.com for more info.

BTI turns to classic

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ballet Theatre of Indiana co-founder Stirling Matheson has found a new Halloween theme for his comdance pany to sink its teeth into this fall.

“At the beginning of our second season, we did an Edgar Allen Poe show and we got a great response to that and we got our first sellout,” Matheson said. “We enjoyed it a lot, so we kept going. Last year we did ‘Myths and Monsters.’”

This year, Matheson has turned to Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” The Carmel-based ballet company, which was founded in 2014, will present “Dracula” Oct. 27 to 29 at the Basile Theatre at the Athenaeum in Indianapolis.

“It’s an all new production, and it’s quite a production,” Matheson said. “Just the production aspect of it is the most ambitious thing we’ve done, for sure.

There are a number of different scenes and more drops (painted backdrops) than we’ve had in the Athenaeum before.

I’ve made three squibs that are remoteactivated, compressed devices that shoot fake blood out of a performer. Those are

Musician writes the score for Holocaust documentary

5:30-8:00 P.M. — CATHEDRALOPENHOUSE.COM

YEARS 1918-2018

Ashton Gleckman, a 17-year-old musician from Carmel, wrote the score for a new Holocaust docufilm mentary set to premiere in Indianapolis Nov. 2.

The film, “Hidden,” tells the story of children who were hidden during World War II. The movie, directed Gleckman

by Gi Orman, focuses on five child survivors from Poland. There are some re-enactments, filmed in Poland with actors, of the stories told. The filmmaker brought two of the survivors back to Poland to see where they once hid.

Orman said he plans for the 72-minute film to be a teaching tool. It comes with a curriculum for several different grade levels.

“It really teaches people a topic that hasn’t been touched on a lot,” he said.

Gleckman has been playing music since he got his first guitar at age 7. In 2015, he scored a Holocaust documentary film called “Once Upon a Family: The Saga of Polish Jewry,” which was produced by Project Witness, which also produced “Hidden.”

Orman met Gleckman from the previous Project Witness documentary and brought him on board for “Hidden.”

Gleckman wrote the score but found a violinist to add the right tone.

“For ‘Hidden,’ it was all about translating the heart of the film into a musical voice,” Gleckman said. “‘Hidden’ is filled with truly extraordinary stories of heroism, loss and coming out of dark situations on the other end. The music (is) needed to assist in telling that story.”

After completing his sophomore year at Carmel High School in May, Gleckman was withdrawn from school by his parents over the summer in an effort to allow him to pursue his film and film music interests full time.

Orman and Gleckman will both be at the Indianapolis premiere, which is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at the Keystone Arts Cinema. Admission is $18 and the original score can be purchased for $5.

Day of the Dead returns

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Halloween will be over, but Nickel Plate Arts will extend the opportunity to wear costumes and painted faces. art For the fourth year, the Noblesville organization will host the Day of the Dead, a festive Mexican holiday, from 3 to 8 p.m. Nov. 1 at Nickel Plate Arts, 107 St. 8th St. McGill said it is an after-school program for families that is going to focus on the Mexican traditions behind the Day of the Dead.

The program is organized and run by artist Kat Ho, who is the art director for the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club.

“It will be free for people to attend, and we’ll have a whole bunch of $5 crafts that people can participate in,” said Aili McGill, Nickel Plate Arts executive director. “We’ll play Day of the Dead-themed music, so it will be a great time for families to drop in and add a little more Halloween into their week and explore this cool Mexican tradition. We haven’t confirmed this yet but we might have a little station where you can make your own music. We’re gathering some instruments for that so we should

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement fit for a family Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This home, built in 2003, is in the Foster Estates neighborhood on the east side of Carmel. Although the home is still fairly new, the basement lacked overall functionality for the owners and their children.

The owner’s goal was to give the basement an update that allowed for them and their children to entertain guests comfortably and better utilize the space they had available.

1. Removing the built-in entertainment system gave the owner the space to add a home theater with creative storage solutions for electronics.

2. Expanding the doorway to the neighboring game room and adding sliding barn doors created a more open concept while making both rooms appear larger.

3. Defining a space with a couch, fireplace and TV created a cozy space for the owner to watch TV and relax, even when the theater was being used.

4. Additional changes included adding a paneled wall and door to hide the electrical room, relocating the workout area and updating the bar area.

After

Before problems: The original layout of the basement did not have clearly defined areas to entertain and because of this, the basement was underutilized. The space appeared much smaller and confined than it actually was. Overall, the space was dated and needed an update.

Who doesn’t have a room they struggle with in some way or another? I know I do.

One technique you can your home use is to take photos of the room from different angles and look at them critically. So many times, we’re in the room all the time and can’t see the forest for the trees. So, seeing the room through a photo makes it easier to pinpoint what is and isn’t working. If you didn’t realize it before, you could be able to see that you have way too much furniture, or that the artwork is too high and too spread out, or those bookcases are way too cluttered.

Don’t forget the power of accessories.

Think lighting, artwork, throw pillows, blankets, books, plants, decorative objects.

It’s hard to imagine that they can really make that much of a difference, but they do. I worked on a house recently and documented the progress through photos of the living room, which went from empty, to having furniture, to the added accessories.

Those finishing touches really made the room sparkle!

Accessories like art, books, plants and more can make a big difference when changing up a space.

(Submitted photo)

I’m happy to say things look far better than before as I’ve taken my time and figured out what works best for my house and family. It’s a good reminder that progress comes slowly sometimes. Sometimes we need the right wall color, the right furniture and accessories, a new idea for a layout that we hadn’t considered and an open mind to new possibilities.

The singing Colossus of Memnon Commentary by Don Knebel

OUR PROMISE handshake and quality, honest work.

Colossi of Memnon, near Luxor, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

the upper half of the northern statue and people began reporting high-pitched singing emanating from the base at dawn. They attributed the singing to Eos, the goddess of dawn and mother of Memnon, mourning her son’s death at the hands of Achilles. Visitors came to the singing Colossus from all around the world, seeking divine guidance. Hearing the singing meant good fortune. In 130 A.D., Roman Emperor Hadrian visited the Colossi after the death of Antinous, his lover. Although his traveling companions heard singing, Hadrian did not.

Sixty years later, Emperor Septimus Severus did not hear the singing and repaired cracks in the northern statue’s base. No one has heard the singing since. Scientists believe dew in the cracks, drying in the morning sun, created the sounds.

Twin statues near Luxor, Egypt, originally honored an important pharaoh. They became famous for their erroneous association with a mythological king. travel Pharaoh Amenhotep III, the grandfather of Tutankhamen.

He was remembered with a massive mortuary temple complex on the west bank of the Nile River. Identical statues of a seated Amenhotep, each 60-feet high and carved from a single block of sandstone, guarded the entrance to his temple. How the Egyptians transported the 720-ton statues hundreds of miles from their quarry site when they did not have the wheel remains a mystery.

Over time, annual Nile flooding destroyed most of Amenhotep’s mortuary complex, but the statues survived. When Greeks under Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in the fourth century B.C., they assumed the statues represented Memnon, a mythological Ethiopian king famous for helping defend Troy during the Trojan Wars. They named the area Memnonium and called the statues the Colossi of Memnon, names they still bear. In 27 B.C., an earthquake toppled

Fewer fervor: Less is best?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt If there’s one subject I love, it’s grammar rules.

If there’s one thing grammar guy I know, it’s grammar rules!

See what I did there? Today, I’m going to tackle a widespread grammar debacle currently plaguing the English-speaking world at an alarming pace. When should you say less and when should you say fewer?

You’ve probably heard to use less for things you don’t count and fewer for things you do count. As a general rule, this is true, but sooner than later you’ll run into a slew of exceptions.

Instead, think about it this way: Use less for something singular and fewer for something plural. For example: I noticed less pulp in the orange juice this morning. You could also say: I found 55 fewer palpable pulp particles in this orange juice this morning. On its own, pulp is singular, so less is correct. Because you have plural pulp particles, fewer is correct.

Here’s where it gets tricky: When referring to time, distance or money, use

less because we think of these types of things as singular amounts. For example: The distance from Earth to the moon is (on average) 238,855 miles. You wouldn’t say the distance from Earth to the moon are 238,855 miles. So, when you apply the singular or plural rule here, you could correctly say, “This rocket we built in our garage is really fast; we’re already less than 100 miles away from the moon!”

Now, what about the express lane at the grocery store? Is “10 items or less” correct, or should it be “10 items or fewer?”

Although technically it should be 10 items or fewer, many argue that if a rule makes a phrase or sentence too cumbersome, drop it. I have a hard time declaring my allegiance to either side, so I’m going to offer a third option: up to 10 items. Just as long as people don’t try to sneak 13 bottles of pulpy orange juice in the express lane.
