City approves $65M balanced budget for 2018 news@currentnoblesville.com At its Oct. 24 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council approved its proposed 2018 budget. government The budget totals $65,170,279, approximately $40 million of which makes up the general fund. The city said the 2018 budget is balanced and builds reserves by approximately $5 million. “As a growing community, Noblesville’s population increase comes with higher public demands and expectations, which were addressed in this year’s budget through more resources and personnel,” Mayor John Ditslear stated in a press release. “The budget also is structured so financial information is tracked and reported to help policy makers and citizens easily understand how the city is actually using its resources and allocating funding to priorities.” Sixty-five percent of the $40,904,122 general fund budget pays for public safety expenses, which includes hiring four firefighters and buying a new fire engine. City-wide, the budget also will fund seven new, full-time jobs and the conversion of two part-time jobs to full time, which include employees in the controller’s office, clerk’s office, and street, parks, maintenance and engineering departments. The budget also pays for: • $2.6 million for road resurfacing and sidewalk/trail improvements. • A 2 to 3 percent pay increase for fulltime and part-time employees. Full-time employees who receive benefits will receive a total approximate 5 percent pay increase to offset a change in the employer/employee split for health insurance premiums.

• Two renovations to Forest Park – the replacement of bathrooms and rehab of the tennis court. • Two Zagster bike-sharing locations within the city. • Partnering with Nickel Plate Arts to manage the city’s Cultural Arts Distrct, grow the community’s art resources and create further opportunities to develop the local arts economies. “The efficient use of tax payer dollars continues to be our top priority,” Noblesville Common Council President Megan Wiles stated. “The council and finance committee worked closely with Jeff Spalding, our new controller, throughout this process to make sure that we were presenting a fiscally sound, conservative and transparent budget.”

The milkweed planting was done in an effort to help save local monarch butterfly populations, which have decreased by 90 percent in the past 20 years. Milkweeds, which also are in decline, are essential for monarch survival. (Submitted photos)
Carmel students visit Moscow By Heather Collins news@currentnoblesville.com Ten local children have returned from a trip abroad with the International Talent Academy. The students repreinternational sented the United States and their respective city at the ARTEK International Children’s Center, a youth camp in Moscow. The Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers children, ages 8 to 13, joined more than 3,500 children from 34 countries this summer for the camp, which is sponsored by the Russian government and ARTEK Foundation. The camp’s theme was, “The World is Our Home.” Campers wrote essays about how friendship has no borders, participated in interviews with local journalists and contributed to peace-making projects. During the Day of International Delegations, students spent five hours presenting information about the history and culture of the U.S. and shared a PowerPoint presentation about their city. Katerina Folkin, 13, said her favorite memories of the camp include the great friends she met and dance parties.

Audubon to host events Nov. 18 By Noah Alatza news@currentnoblesville.com The Indiana Audubon Society will host two events Nov. 18 at Cool Creek Park and Nature Center, 2000 E. 151st birding St. The Birding Crash Course is a beginning workshop in partnership with Hamilton County Parks and Cool Creek. The course is three hours starting at 9 a.m. and will be inside and outside the nature center’s auditorium. The society was originally a volunteer organization before becoming subsidized over the summer. The workshop will be led by Indiana Audubon’s first executive director, Brad Bumgardner, who was appointed in July. “This year we are sponsoring the whole series, from identification of birds to learning how to use binoculars,” Bumgardner said. “We do this once a month at different locations across the state. We are looking at another six or seven, and we will bring these (events) back time to time.” The course is an introductory and interactive program and is offered statewide to introduce citizens to bird watching. “We are seeing a lot of advancement in both optics and becoming more mainstream,” Bumgardner said. “People have a larger interest in birding, overall.” The course includes the history of birding along with popular spots to see native Indiana birds, among other topics. Registration is $15. Discounts are available to Indiana Audubon Society members.

Immediately following the course, the Audubon Society will leave from Cool Creek and travel to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area at 1 p.m. More than 20,000 sandhill cranes converge there each fall. “This is an annual recruitment event with a big convocation site. Historically, cranes gather there,” Bumgardner said. “There’s a field at dusk that is well suited for viewing.” Special viewing platforms will be available. Usually about one hour before sunset, flocks of cranes glide in from all directions. “Birding grows in popularity every year,” Bumgardner said. “Definitely, if you like nature and photography, this is a site to see. I think every Hoosier should witness it.” More events are scheduled for Dec. 9 in Brown County. Registration for the workshop is $48. Registration is available for both events online at indianaaudubon.org/events.

Economic Development Director Judi Johnson to speak on the growing city at national conference By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com As Noblesville’s economic development director for the past five years, Judi cover story Johnson is in Phoenix, Ariz., this week representing the city at the CEOs for Cities’ annual meeting. CEOs for Cities is a group of 26 clusters across the U.S. that promote regional economic growth and opportunity. “Hamilton County and Indianapolis are cluster cities for CEOs for Cities, and many people from this area have spoken already,” Johnson said. “The application came from Hamilton County Tourism. They reached out to me and asked if I would consider applying. I actually worked with them on a topic, and that topic became collaboration. I feel that our community has been very good at that with workforce development and arts development.” Johnson will be part of a “lightning round” that will feature three other speakers from New York, Philadelphia and Mobile, Ala. This will be Johnson’s first trip to the CEOs for Cities’ national meeting. “It’s actually much more visual (than a panel), where I’m talking to the audience of all the attendees,” Johnson said. “I’ve got a 15-minute presentation on Noblesville instead of just a panel where I’d be answering questions. The title (of the lightning round) is ‘Inclusive Prosperity,’ meaning that we should include all people in the opportunity to prosper. A lot of the CEOs for Cities’ is for urban core focus in a metropolitan area, but they do consider that we as citizens and leaders are all CEOs for our city and that we want to be change-makers and change the world for our world for the broader world.” For more, visit CEOsforCities.org.

“I think one of the most crucial things that we’re focusing on right now is business park development. If you drive out to Pleasant Street and you see where the new Metro Plastics building is, we did that deal. We made that happen because we are running out of buildings and locations for outdoor storage, and we have people calling us wanting to be in Noblesville.

We do know that we’re challenged with non-growth in places, too, so if you drive down Cumberland to Boden, sometimes people are wondering, ‘Why is there just this vast area?’ So we’re actually analyzing, surveying and doing work to talk about what we’ve not done that we should be doing and learn from that so we can maybe make marketing materials and strategize the area. People are telling us things like, ‘Maybe the zoning should change.’ So internally, these are the discussions that we have all the time about what are we challenged with, what are we doing well, and what do we need to work on more.”

W h at d o y o u t h i n k N o b l e s v i l l e n e e d s ? “Workforce is the No. 1 topic of economic development nationwide right now, so we have lots of jobs, but we don’t have lots of workers. The unemployment rate right now is 2.8 percent. That’s really good, but it’s also really bad because when we are talking and trying to attract new companies or have a company that wants to expand here, they’re asking, ‘Where’s the workforce?’ What we have to do is address how the middle skills (can play a role), how we can educate, re-educate, train, retrain, train up and bring it clear down to kindergarten to create the workforce pipeline. There are really good jobs out there, and you don’t have to go to college, but you still need a career path, a trade.”
“The BorgWarner development is progressing very nicely. Within (a few) weeks, they should be winterized and ready to start the interior work that needs to be done, so that’s really exciting. Also, Embassy Suites is bigger and better than ever. We all were thinking and dreaming about what it would be, but even when I drive out there, it’s so impressive.”
BorgWarner began construction in June on its $15 million, 100,000-square-foot technical center. (Submitted rendering)

A dry run
o b s e r v at i o n Perpetual twilight
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker We found ourselves careening down the crowded streets of America’s largest city reviewing the events of the day – the nature of the incoming flight, the ease of traversing the Holland Tunnel, and, in course, our acquaintance with a new car service. Recommended for transport by a close friend and Manhattanite, we were impressed by the comportment and wayfinding of our driver. Snarled traffic would lead to a redirect, then another, until a more attractive path emerged. Although the crystal-blue sky was glorious as the October sun cast its reflected light across the scores of gleaming edifices, we found ourselves headlong in a narrow canyon of oppressive brick structures. Built before the ubiquitous use of reinforced steel, these vintage buildings, while charming in many ways, hosted small windows open only to facing windows directly across the constricted street. Despite the ambient light spilling into the scene, the effect could best be described as dusk. The same might be said as afternoon turned to night, street lights illuminate ensuring that folks rooted here live lives wrapped in perpetual twilight. If we dedicate ourselves only working to contain the extremes, what do we surrender? Are we humans prone to avoid change at the very same time that we benefit from it? Some moments lift us while others urge us to retreat. Does our hiding from dark and light make its existence any less real? Life brings both expected and unexpected seasons. But what is the merit in a command of adaptability? If we live in a place that is neither fully day nor fully night, can we ever hope to recognize the difference?

REA D ER ’ S VIEW
Second Amendment reply Editor, In reference to the letter from Dave Marsh (Oct. 17) titled “The second Amendment,” I feel I need to comment on a few things he says. When he states his concern with military weapons in civilian hands, he is making a statement that if it were implemented we would find that bolt-action, semi-auto and the singleshot muzzleloader, among other firearms, would fall under “military firearms” and thus be confiscated as well as the AR platform of firearms as they, too, were “military weapons” at one time. The problem does not lie with the type or availability of the gun or accessories; it lies with the morals of our society. You cannot legislate morality and be effective. The laws now on the books cover every “need“ for additional laws that are demanded after every mass shooting, if they are applied. Take Chicago as an example. It has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the nation yet is among the highest in the nation in gun violence. Check out the charges that are either plea-bargained away or never used in the
prosecution of violators. Chicago should be a shining example of the need for enforcement of existing laws rather than putting new laws on the books. As an example of my comment on the morals being the issue, you may take my firearms, and I am willing to bet (if you put) Dave Marsh’s firearms on a table and wait for one of them to shoot someone, you will have a long wait. I can also say with confidence that neither Dave nor I have ever shot another person. Again, the problem is not with firearms but with the morals we now accept in this nation. As a middle school student, I could bring my .22 rifle to school so I could hunt small game on the way home. Try that today. New laws will only make criminals out of law-abiding citizens that own firearms. As for the bump stock that turned the guns used in Las Vegas into a full auto, (they) should be looked at by the BATFE as a modification that requires the same limits that are currently on the books regarding full auto firearms. Cody Long, Noblesville
I’m cured of my urinating-while-exercising problem! Thanks to my OB/GYN, I can now run without stopping at humor construction port-a-lets every 2 miles. And luckily for you, the appointment was the most entertaining, embarrassing hour of my adult life. FYI, any visit to the Lady Parts Doctor requires great preparation. There’s a particularly high level of grooming that occurs, from perfectly-pedicured toes to a meticulously-made-up face. And of course, everything in between must be en pointe. For whatever reason, I completely neglected the aforementioned routine and showed up a hot mess. When the nurse told me to undress from the waist down, I was mortified. Did I mention I have a male physician? Who’s my age? I commenced with the “He’s seen it all” mantra, but broke into a cold sweat when I caught a whiff of my Sperry’s-withoutsocks feet. I forgot all of this the moment Doc walked in, though, because I then had to explain in excruciating detail my peejogging adventures. We discussed possible solutions and finally agreed to try a nonsurgical device. Doc then opened a tacklebox full of what appeared to be medieval torture objects, selected one, and told me to “give it a whirl.” In privacy, thank God. So I jumped, danced, moved and grooved to see if I could wet myself. Miracle of miracles, the floor remained dry! Step 2 proved more challenging. Try as I might, I just couldn’t remove the thing. So Doc returned, hilariously mimed the process, and left me again. This time, with a few Cirque du Soleil twists and a Hail Mary, I did it. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Wall Street Goes Hi-Tech
John R. Sarson, Managing Partner
Over the past several decades investors have seen “once-in-ageneration” market events taking place every few years. These erratic market movements are the result of a fundamental change that has occurred in the nature of the stock market. The catalyst for the change? Improving technology over the past two decades has dramatically improved the speed and efficiency with which institutional investors (hedge funds, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, etc.) are able to move vast sums of money in and out of securities. Computers now trade with one another instantly and anonymously, allowing even the largest investors to sell positions rapidly. The stock market’s increased long-run volatility is the unintended consequences of this change. We believe that the rise of computer-driven trading has caused the stock market to become increasingly susceptible to a “feedback-loop crash”, where automated selling generates more automated selling and sends indexes plunging. Barron’s magazine is also ringing the alarm bells. It warned in its cover story on Oct. 16th, that assets being run by computer driven “quantitative strategies” have nearly doubled since 2007 and now total nearly 1 trillion dollars. When asset prices do start to fall, quantitative portfolios will automatically sell positions helping their users avoid big losses. “Buyand-Hold” investors, we fear, will fare much worse. We believe that, similar to what happened in 2008, Main Street will again bear the brunt of the
losses in the market. Today we are in the midst of an upswing in the market and all is calm. You could be forgiven for thinking the market is the same level playing field it once was. Look at what is different today: remarkably high valuations. We believe the unusually high equity prices that we see are a function of institutional investors buying into an uptrend without regard for fundamentals. When the current uptrend reverses and the same investors seek to exit their positions, the resulting price drops could rival or exceed the losses experienced in 2008. At ETF Momentum Investing, LLC we believe the best way to protect yourself from a stock market that is controlled by computers is to have a risk management system in place that automatically reduces risk as prices drop - and to have it in place before the next major selloff. We developed our approach working with real clients, before, during and after the global financial crisis. Our investment process seeks to make investing safer and more profitable by mathematically optimizing portfolio exposure to diverse asset classes ranging from U.S. equities to cryptocurrencies. We believe investors of all sizes can reduce risk and increase returns by following trends in global assets.

Dr. Joni Kluth was convinced a therapy dog would be the perfect addition to her and her husband Mike’s denanimals tal office. Bodi, a fun-loving labradoodle, a cross between a Labrador and poodle, has been just that. “He’s there for patient comfort, especially kids,” Kluth said. “They do well with him when they are apprehensive about having procedures done. Our staff loves him as well.” Bodi turned 1 year old Oct. 24, and Kluth Family Dentistry staff threw the therapy dog a birthday party. Bodi visits the Noblesville office three days each week. “He’s out in the waiting room,” Kluth said. “He can go back in the treatment room. He can stay back with patients if they like him to. It’s been a neat experience.” Kluth said Bodi went through obedience training at Ultimate Canine, concluding in April. “They did an excellent job,” she said. “He stayed at their facility for seven or eight weeks, and he passed his therapy certification. My husband and I had to go through a day of training, and our staff has been through training.” The husband and wife dentists, who live in Noblesville with their three children, also have an office in Alexandria. “We hope to have Bodi up there (in Alexandria) when we get our staff there trained,” Kluth said. Kluth surprised the family with Bodi at Christmas.

“We already had a dog (a yellow lab), and this is the first time we’ve been a two-dog family,” Kluth said. “The breeder that we got Bodi from talked about a dental office using a dog for therapy training. That is what sparked my interest. I looked into it and felt it would be great for our patients.” Much of the training is centered on socialization. “Bodi is a happy-go-lucky dog,” Kluth said. ”He’s happy all the time.” For more, visit drskluth.com.

Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui A few years ago, while riding an airplane, I came across an airline magazine adverstisement. It was for Injuries an orthopedic/dermatology clinic in Boca Raton, Fla., and splashed across the headline was, “Regenerative Medicine Stem Cell Specialists.” It claimed that while preparing your stem cells for the treatment of your joint pain, you could get its trademark vampire facelift while overlooking serene ocean views in the treatment room. At first I balked. Then, intrigued, I began to look into evidence behind such claims. In the past few years, the data behind regenerative medicine to treat arthritis, cartilage degeneration and chronic tendon/ligament problems appears quite fruitful. Regenerative medicine is typically broken down into either using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Both are typically derived from your own body, so no embryos are involved. MSCs can differentiate—a process where a cell changes from one cell type to another—into bone, muscle,
cartilage, tendon and are typically found in fat and bone marrow. PRP is derived from taking 60 ml of a person’s blood and isolating the platelets. The plasma, with higher concentrated platelets than normal blood, is then injected using ultrasound guidance into problematic tendons or joints. Although MSCs hold more promise and will likely revolutionize the treatment of orthopedic problems in the future, at this time the treatment is still too costly, and long-term data is lacking. PRP is simple and relatively cost-effective and is often used to treat joint and tendon problems. It also has strong data to support its use to treat mild to moderate hip and knee osteoarthritis. For those looking for an alternative to surgery, PRP can be helpful. Although I will not be performing vampire facelifts at my clinic, the use of regenerative medicine for musculoskeletal issues is likely here to stay. Dr. Joseph Hui is a Riverview Health primary care sports medicine physician. He specializes in management of non-operative orthopedic issues and sports-related injuries.

Carmel ex-pastor shares love of Reformation stamps By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
As this fall marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Paul Swartz has been combining his passions for stamp collecting, the Lutheran faith and music. The 74-year-old Carmel resident has been collecting U.S. stamps since he was 7 years old. “I go back to the 1800s for U.S. stamps,” said Swartz, a former pastor of Carmel’s King of Glory Lutheran Church. “I view every stamp as a window to the world. It’s lifting up either a person, a building or a circumstance.” Swartz, who serves as a volunteer usher at The Palladium along with his wife, Betty, had mentioned to Indiana Wind Symphony Director Charlie Conrad a couple of years ago the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the great music around that time. “I knew his love for putting together thematic concerts,” Swartz said. They began planning together, and Swartz will give a historical narration for the symphony’s “Echoes Over Five Centuries: The Reformation” at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at The Palladium in Carmel. “I’ve always been a fan of church music and classical music,” Swartz said. Conrad said Swartz brings a great deal of knowledge about the Reformation. “In addition to the religious aspect, it had quite an effect on music as well,” Conrad said. “Paul will be doing the narration in between numbers. We’ll play some music that historically was significant, and some based on some of the chorales and tunes that came from the time. We’re doing a piece from Elisabeth Cruciger, the first female hymn writer of the Reformation, and she was also married to Martin Luther’s son. Martin Luther wrote several (hymns) himself. ‘A Mighty Fortress is Our God’ is the most famous one.” Swartz, who will have a display of his Reformation and Luther stamps in The Palladium lobby, is writing a book called “A Life Stamped, Cancelled and Delivered!” “I thought if I don’t get the book out until next year I can include all the stamps of Luther that are issued this year,” said Swartz, who has written several journal articles about Luther. Swartz was pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church for 13 years before retiring in 2012. He’s now serving at First Trinity, a diverse Lutheran congregation on the east side

of Indianapolis. “They can’t afford a pastor, so I’m helping them out,” Swartz said. Swartz’s collection of Martin Luther stamps began in 1983 when the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s birth on Nov. 10, 1483. The stamp triggered a worldwide search by Swartz to discover what other Reformation stamps were produced. He has several albums full of stamps relating to Martin Luther or this year’s Reformation anniversary. Luther published his Ninety-five theses, or complaints against the Catholic Church, and launched the Protestant Reformation on Oct. 31, 1517. Many stamps from various nations are being reeled this year. “Luther was the champion of individual rights and the freedom of the conscience,” Swartz said. “You won’t find anyone in the history of mankind who championed that more than Martin Luther.” Choir voices are needed for the concert. For more information or to volunteer, contact pswartz@indy.rr.com.

Tailgating in inclement weather Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley With each tropical storm there seems to have been numerous games cancelled on the coasts and even further north into the plains and Midwest, where rains have caused trouble for serious picnickers that have planned a get-together with great friends and tasty food, done up right!

To stop the wind from sailing your tent there are weights that fit over the canopy legs that can help. Don’t be afraid to use your vehicle to help anchor things with bungie cords and tape. Here’s a great inclement weather drink to warm your innards.

‘A Grand Night of Singing’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When “A Grand Night of Singing” opened on Broadway in 1993, it was the first time the music of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein had been on theater Broadway in a revue format. “It has been speculated that one reason for the delay was that so many Rodgers and Hammerstein songs connect so directly with the stories they tell and are so embedded in our culture that it becomes difficult to envision them out of the context,” said Carol Worcel, who is serving as director and choreographer for the show for the upcoming Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production. “Perhaps another reason is that these classic tunes sometimes seem sappy and out of touch with the edgy realism today’s audiences so often expect.” However, Worcel said the arrangement of 30 or more songs by Walter Bobbie creates a “brilliant format that follows the timeless seasons of love, using themes which we can all identify.” ATI presents “A Grand Night of Singing”

from Nov. 3 to 19 at the Studio Theater in Carmel. Worcel, who lives near the Geist area in Indianapolis, said there have been no real challenges in preparation. ‘In fact, this rehearsal period has been very smooth due to the fact that we have an amazingly talented cast and a very accomplished production team,” Worcel said. Worcel said there is an even mix of songs from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s betterknown and lesser-known musicals. “Honey Bun is one of my favorites in this production,” Worcel said.

Bullying in our schools has become a national epidemic and, unfortunately, this is probably the most common phone call I get from parents. Usually it goes something like this: “My child is being bullied to the point that he’s afraid to go to school. The school has not done anything to stop it. What can I do?” Naturally, many parents who call want me to write a letter to their school corporation or even file a lawsuit against it. Unfortunately, I often have to tell them that there’s not much they can do from a legal standpoint unless they have evidence that (a) the school violated a legal duty, and (b) their child has been harmed—physically or psychologically—as a result. If your child is simply afraid to go to school because of the bullying but hasn’t been emotionally traumatized or physically injured, it will be difficult to bring a legal claim against the school district because the law requires you to prove damages in order to have a case. Being nervous, scared or uncomfortable at school may not be enough to support a legal claim. As the saying goes, “They don’t make Band-Aids for hurt feelings.” Schools have a duty to protect your child from bullying, but often they look the other way or downplay it, telling parents “Kids will be kids.” They don’t seem to take bullying seriously and rarely punish the perpetrators severely. I have represented several children who have been bullied, assaulted or sexually harassed at school—one to the point of committing suicide. In almost every case, the school could have done more to prevent the bullying from happening. Indiana does have an anti-bullying law, but it’s not very strong. It only requires schools to have an anti-bullying policy and to report bullying
incidents to a database. But schools routinely under-report incidents of bullying and many parents mistakenly assume that they can sue a school if it does not follow this law, which says you can’t sue the school based only on its failure to follow the statute. In fact, if the school doesn’t comply with the statute, its non-compliance is not even admissible in court. If your child has been harmed, it may still be possible to hold the school responsible in a lawsuit. I’ve used different legal theories against schools where students have been bullied. Schools have a duty to supervise students, to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to protect students from reasonably foreseeable criminal acts—which bullying incidents often are. Students with special needs may have additional remedies available. My advice to parents whose children are being bullied is to document every incident (who, what, when, where). You can tell school staff what’s happening in person or over the phone, but it’s a good idea to put it in an email to your child’s principal, teacher and guidance counselor. Make a paper trail. Doing so makes it harder for the school to claim that it was unaware of the bullying. If your child is emotionally or physically harmed, you’ll want to show that the school knew or should have known that he was at risk of being injured. Schools like to defend these cases by arguing that the harm was not “reasonably foreseeable,” so telling school employees that your child is being bullied is important. Do not assume that the school will document the bullying properly—do it for them. When kids are hurt at school and parents bring a claim, evidence has a way of mysteriously disappearing. By sending the school staff emails, you will have proof that they knew your child was being bullied. If your child has been bullied at school and suffered physical or emotional harm as a result, feel free to call me at 317/569-2200 or email me at tblessing@hzlegal.com for a free consultation.

‘Divine’ origin of Arch of Constantine Commentary by Don Knebel The Arch of Constantine, near the Coliseum in Rome, memorializes an event that changed the direction of Western history. On Oct. 28, 312 A.D., Roman travel Emperor Constantine I defeated rival Emperor Maxentius in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, thereby gaining unquestioned control of the Western Roman Empire. Constantine credited his victory to a vision in which the Christian God told him to put the superimposed Greek letters Chi and Rho, symbolizing the Christ, on his soldiers’ shields. In 313 A.D., Constantine, joined by the Eastern Emperor, issued the Edict of Milan, ending the persecution of Christians and making Christianity legal throughout the Roman Empire. In 315 A.D., the 10th year of Constantine’s reign, the Roman Senate erected a massive arch honoring his victory at the Milvian Bridge. The three-portal arch, more than 82 feet wide and 65 feet high, straddled the Triumphal Way, the route by which the victorious Constantine had entered Rome, displaying the head of Maxentius. Identical inscriptions on either side near the top of the arch attributed Constantine’s victory to

the inspiration of a singular “divine,” suggesting that Constantine wanted to affirm his belief in one God while not offending Romans still believing in mulitple gods. Curiously, the arch uses statues and reliefs from monuments honoring earlier rulers. Even the carvings depicting Constantine, some showing a halo around his head, were re-worked from earlier carvings. Some speculate this reclamation was necessary because fourth century Romans had lost the skill to create great works of art. Others believe the re-use communicated
A grammar horror story Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt On days like this, kids in costumes aren’t the only spooky things in the neighborhood. Did you know grammar guy commas can save innocent lives? I wanted to avoid controversial subjects like killing in this column, but here we are discussing the only two certainties in life: death and punctuation. In today’s article, I’m going to settle the Oxford comma debate once and for all. ººSuppose I wanted to list a few (three, to be precise) of my favorite things. I could say: I like eating, children and small animals. That was intended to read as a list of three things–not a list of one thing followed by examples (although I’ve heard squirrel bacon is excellent!). Most people think the Oxford comma (a.k.a. the serial, series or Harvard comma) is at odds with the AP Stylebook. I’m not sure if this will come as a trick or a treat to you, but the AP Stylebook actually makes clear that it’s perfectly appropriate to use an Oxford comma when doing so helps to avoid confusion or misinterpretation.
My general rule is: use commas sparingly. Pretend they’re shotgun shells and you’re trying to survive in a zombie apocalypse. According to AP, “If a comma doesn’t help make clear what is being said, don’t use it.” I love secretly eating my child’s Skittles, Milky Ways and Butterfingers once he’s asleep. This sentence doesn’t need a comma after “Milky Ways” because it doesn’t provide further clarity in the sentence’s meaning, nor does it lead to misinterpretation. Hopefully, this nuanced take on the comma controversy provides a diacritical middle ground for the two feuding punctuation parties. I’m not naive enough to assume I will be able to change anyone’s mind on a polarizing topic such as this; I merely wanted to illustrate how two opposing factions can (theoretically) peacefully coexist.

the idea that Constantine was the epitome of earlier leaders. The Arch of Constantine is the last and largest Roman arch, inspiring, among others, the Arc d’Triumph in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
