Hamilton County detectives are investigating a Dec. 3 incident when a man attempted to coerce a INVESTIGATION Noblesville student into his vehicle while the student was waiting at a bus stop.

Officials from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office made the statement this afternoon, saying the incident occurred in the 20200 block of Cumberland Road.

Police said the student was approached at approximately 6:45 a.m. and was asked by a stranger to enter his SUV to be taken to school.

Information provided by detectives indicates the student was waiting at the end of the driveway when a white Ford Explorer pulled up. The driver, described as a darkskinned, balding, African American male in his mid-30s, wearing glasses with a shaggy beard, told the student that the bus driver had sent him back to pick up the student due to missing the bus.

Police said the student did not believe the story and returned to the house while the SUV drove away.

The vehicle was described as an older model with a dent in the tailgate and possibly a missing or inoperable center brake light. The father of the student verified the description of the Explorer.

Police said no similar incidents have been reported.

Residents are being reminded by the HCSO to always report suspicious activity.

Anyone with additional information should contact Hamilton County Public Safety Communications at 317-773-1282.

Humane Society’s $12 million capital campaign underway

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Although Hamilton County is the wealthiest county in the state, animals at the Humane Society for Hamilton County’s facility don’t have access to many PETS services. HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said even animal control facilities have more services than the HSHC. “What people have to understand is (our building) is actually missing fundamental areas that even an animal control facility has. Our design today is literally missing an intake area for cats,” Stevens said. “We don’t currently have a medical wing. There are no exercise areas, no storage. There’s no meeting space, no quarantine area for contagious animals.”

However, the animals’ environment may improve soon because of a $12 million capital campaign to construct a new 40,000-square-foot facility at 106th Street and Hague Road in Fishers. The goal is to open the shelter within the next 1,000 days.

The current shelter only has 8,000 square feet of space.

Stevens said the larger facility won’t significantly create more kennel space but will provide room for more educational outreach programs and include traditional humane society amenities, such as a medical wing.

“We are not doubling everything. That’s not the solution, to keep adding more cages. The solution is looking at building a facility that’s going to sustain the growth of this county and its needs,” Stevens said.

The current facility has 223 cages and the new facility will have 348.

HSHC hired Shelter Planners of America to consult in designing the new shelter.

Noise control is a priority in the new facility, which will have plexiglass instead of barred cages.

“Today, the best way to explain the challenge we have is you have a dog in a kennel with no noise control and no visual barrier between dogs on each side or across from it,” Stevens said. “There is very little disease control. You have an animal come into the shelter and it immediately declines, behaviorally and health-wise.”

With the new facility, HSHC will be able to expand its educational and outreach programs.

“We’ve been unable to expand programs, unable to offer the community what we know they want and what we know we can give,” Stevens said. “This is such a great way for us to be able to plant more seeds in our youth, in the community, of kindness and what it means to be kind to animals and the importance of pet adoption.”

Other programs Stevens wants to expand are the Pets Healing Vets program, where a shelter animal is placed with a veteran, and offer long-term placement for active-duty military who are deployed and have no one to care for their pets.

The HSHC is seeking donations for the new facility. The first $1 million has already been gifted by an anonymous donor. For more or to donate, contact Stevens at hamiltonhumane75@gmail.com.

Bolt for the Heart reaches goal Commentary by Pierre Twer As we recently completed our seventh annual Bolt for the Heart Family 5K at the beautiful Center ACHIEVEMENT Green in Carmel on a Thanksgiving morning, we were reminded yet again about what a great community we live in. The support for Bolt continues to grow as proven with our record number of participants this year. We welcomed 3,300 runners and walkers from 36 states, which is our best year.

We attained our goal of raising $200,000, which allowed us to meet our ultimate goal of purchasing 134 AEDs for Indiana State Police patrol cars statewide. We, with your help, have placed an AED in all 550 ISP cars.

Additionally, ISP Supt. Doug Carter believes we may be the first state with every state police car equipped with an AED. All of us should be very proud of this and know that lives have and will continue to be saved.

This success does not happen without you and your family’s participation in Bolt for the Heart. On behalf of the Bolt board of directors, we send a sincere thank you. We would also like to thank the City of Carmel, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation, the Carmel Police Dept. and the wonderful folks at the Carmel Chriskindlmarkt for allowing us to partner with them and utilize the great Center Green grounds.

Additionally, a significant portion of the

revenues we generate are through our sponsors and many very generous individual donations. We ask that you keep them in mind as you go through making decisions in your daily life because they have been tremendous and supportive of our mission.

Our 2018 sponsors are: IU Health; Orange Theory Fitness; Performance Services; Living Generously; Wallington Asset Management; REI, Market District; Le Peep; McGowan Insurance; Ogle Design; Heart Reach Medical; Renaissance Hotel; Fast Biomedical; The Runners Forum; Cardiac Science; Andy Mohr Automotive; the Indianapolis Colts; and Current Publishing.

A final special thank you to our partners in Evansville, HeartSavers through Deaconess Hospital, which will assist us with a donation to the Jasper ISP post.

This was our best Bolt yet and it’s because of you. Our next goal is to place an AED in every city and county police car in the state of Indiana. The need is great, especially in the rural areas of Indiana.

Through generous recent donations to the Bolt, we have already completed Noble and Tipton counties. Only 90 counties to go!

Pierre M. Twer is a Carmel resident and president of Bolt for the Heart.

County communications director details behindthe-scenes response to May 25 school shooting

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Hundreds of law enforcement and government officials played a part in the response to the May 25 shooting at Noblesville West Middle School, where former NWMS student David Moore shot student Ella Whistler and teacher Jason Seaman in Seaman’s science class Now, more than six months later, Hamilton County leaders have shared more details of the behind-the-scenes work done by the Hamilton County Public Safety Communications Dept.

In a session during the Nov. 27 retreat of the Indiana Association of County Commissioners at the Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel, Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen, Executive Director of Hamilton County Public Safety Communications Mike Snowden and Executive Director of Hamilton County Emergency Management Shane Booker took part in a panel aimed at helping commissioners from across the state prepare for emergencies. Mark Heirbrandt, president of the Hamilton County Commissioners, moderated the “Shaping a Safe and Secure Community Together” panel, where Snowden shed light on Hamilton County dispatchers’ response to the shooting. The dispatchers had received training on how to handle calls about an active assailant only one day before the shooting.

Much of the discussion focused on preparation and the work county agencies had done before May 25 to make law enforcement and communications responses run as smoothly as possible.

“One of the first things that we’ve done in the 5 1/2 years that I’ve been in Hamilton County is work on our preparation and our training,” Snowden said. “We created our own training standards because Indiana does not have any training standards for public safety telecommunicators. We’ve been doing active assailant training for two

or three years now. As a matter of fact, the very day before this incident, our folks that were on duty had active-assailant training, which was specific to Hamilton County. Our folks weren’t blind that day. They knew exactly what our field units were going to be doing, and there was much more teamwork displayed because of that.”

Hamilton County Public Safety Communications has 83 employees and is one of the four largest public safety communications agencies in the state, Snowden said, adding that normal staffing is approximately 12 during peak hours and that 911 receives approximately 850 calls for service in a 24hour period.

On the day of the shooting at NWMS, there were 761 calls between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The first 911 call came at 9:06:47 a.m., and law enforcement was notified within 37 seconds. Within 61 seconds, the shooter, student David Moore, had been identified.

“We knew who our shooter was,” Snowden said. “Law enforcement knew who our shooter was when they were en route.”

Moore was in custody within three minutes or less, Snowden said.

Only 11 dispatchers were working less

DURING

than 5 miles from the school at the time of the shooting, but Snowden said within three minutes, five staff members arrived at the call center to assist. Within 15 minutes, three more off-duty staff came to work, filling all of the call center’s consoles.

“The phone calls were overwhelming,” Snowden said. “Trying to put plans together on the fly when this incident happens to you is not the time to do it. In the 9 o’clock hour, we took about 203 calls, so (it was) about six hours worth of work within an hour.”

Snowden also spoke about how typical 911 calls during this time did not stop.

“There were 363 additional calls for service: two suicides, 27 traffic crashes, 18 suspicious circumstances, 11 traffic hazards and eight thefts, among others,” Snowden said.

“In other words, life in Hamilton County did not stop because we had an active assailant incident. Everything was still going on for our 315,000-plus citizens, and we had to be able to handle their problems just as much as Noblesville West Middle School’s.”

“Before our (staff) left that afternoon, we had a critical incident stress management team on site talking with them, giving them the chance to talk through what they had dealt with that

AFTER

day and trying and give them some sense of calm about what they had handled,” Snowden said. “The mental health resilience of our staff is very critical and we take it very seriously. (That team) came back several days in a row to make sure they were as OK as you can be when you take a horrific call or several horrific calls. About five days post-incident, we had an operation debriefin. We have continued offering assistance to our staff as needed.”

In November, dispatchers were able to meet with teacher Jason Seaman, who was shot three times May 25 by Moore.

“It was important for our folks to have a chance to meet with the victim,” Snowden said. “We’ve all seen his face many times, but to be in the room with him and hear from him and that he had appreciated their hard work was absolutely crucial.”

Snowden said the department also is working on a peer support team, along with additional active assailant training, for the 911 center’s staff.

“We believe it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when,” Snowden said. “It’s the world we live in, and I absolutely hate it, but it is what it is, and if we’re not prepared, even more prepared next time, we’re only hurting ourselves.”

ESSAY Seeking forgiveness

LETTER ‘Alienated by my own community’

Commentary by Terry Anker Famed Hoosier author and Civil War Gen. Lew Wallace penned what became America’s bestselling novel from 1880 until Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With The Wind” overtook it in the late ‘30s. “Ben Hur: a Tale of the Christ” ultimately begat three feature-length motion pictures, a successful Broadway and traveling stage show and countless other adaptations.

The 1959 film version starring Charlton Heston and directed by William Wyler garnered the mostever Academy Awards – eleven.

The historic epic takes place in occupied Jerusalem during the life, and ultimate crucifixion, of Christ. It tells the story of adopted brothers, one Roman and one a local prince.

Ultimately, they are separated by circumstance.

When Wallace returned from our Civil War, his own life was changed irreversibly by the jarring impact of the conflict. Like it, he imbued in his characters the naivety, and oddly, bloodlust, that marches our young into combat. The story follows an arch from the love these young men feel for each other as children, to the pain of their separation as they each strive to find their own way in the world, and to the inevitability of rivalry that would rise. Ultimately, reconciliation is withheld by death.

Ultimately, Wallace raises questions about forgiveness, hate, superficialities and the pointless nature of endless longing for retaliation. Although Christ is only a minor character, he urges peace.

These and other questions were hotly pursued in the years following our own Civil War. Can coming to understand this context prevent us from living it again?

‘Tis the season to be melancholy Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m a bit worried, friends. The holiday season is off to an unsettling start.

First, my plan to chop HUMOR down a Christmas tree (read: purchase an already cut and netted one at a local hardware store) with all four of our kids backfired when I mixed up two of their work schedules. Do we go without the 14-year-old baby of the family or the soon-to-be-in-college senior? Who do we love more? Tough choice made (though not as tough as we’d anticipated). We broke with tradition and proceeded on our tannenbaum hunt, one child short. Tear.

Once there, we easily decided on the tallest fir in the yard. But then my husband Doo broke another long-standing Wilson Yuletide ritual, that of precariously transporting said evergreen back to our house. He inquired about (gulp), and then signed up for (gasp), delivery! Something about how he didn’t want to deal with the sap and the frustra-

tion of strapping a 15-foot Frazier to our van.

Coward. So, we drove home empty-handed, with no regard for the speed limit or the roundabouts. How is that making memories?

The final lame horse in my off-brand December trifecta had to do with a dessert.

I grew up loving my British grandmother’s fruit cake (which, by the way, has nothing to do with the fact that it’s seeped in bourbon).

My mom has continued making one just for me, but this time, she forgot the special marzipan icing. Now, what am I supposed to do? Eat it plain? Un. Be. Lievable.

How am I to embrace the holidays with everything changing? And it’s not even a tinsel year! Truly unsettling, folks.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Sharing the holiday with other people, and feeling that you’re giving of yourself, gets you past all the commercialism.”

- Caroline Kennedy

Editor, I am writing in response to Mayor John Ditslear’s recent public statement about diversity and how the City of Noblesville will not accept marginalizing anyone.

Mayor Ditslear, perhaps unaware of his own bias, participated in marginalizing those in the community that are non-religious and non-Christian by using his office to promote and coordinate the National Day of Prayer.

Endorsing this prayer event in the official capacity of mayor and a person of power sends a message that the City of Noblesville prefers not only religion over non-religion, but also Christianity over all other faiths.

As a non-religious community member this message makes me feel alienated from my own community and less receptive to engaging in city-sponsored activities where those with no religious affiliation feel uninvited.

I hope that the recently formed Noblesville Diversity Coalition can help educate the Noblesville community and our local government officials on how valuable diversity, along with a sense of inclusion amongst all citizens, can encourage more civic engagement, improve quality of life and bring more opportunity to the city.

My heel hurts, what now?

Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui I recently had some folks ask what can be done about their chronic foot pain. The pain is typically described as sharp at the base of the heel on the bottom of the foot. It’s SPORTS MEDICINE typically the worst when getting out of bed in the morning and causes the first step you take to be very painful. Sometimes, it even feels like there is a pebble on the bottom of the heel. There is usually no injury and no pain while off of the foot.

This problem is typically known as plantar fasciitis and must not be confused with heel pain in the back of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot ailments in the United States and is responsible for about 1 million visits to the doctor each year. The peak incidence occurs between ages 40 and 60 in the general population, with a younger peak in runners. It may affect both feet in up to onethird of cases.

This foot issue has a good prognosis, and even if ignored will usually go away on its own within one year. However, most folks want to resolve it sooner, so the following is a step-by-step description of how to help this go away.

In full disclosure, I have no financial interest in the products I mention.

Step 1: Soften the lower leg muscles by rolling

your calf muscles and the bottom of your arch for 10 minutes. A tennis ball or racquet ball can help with the arch. A good foam roller to use is Rolflex, which can be found on Amazon for about $70.

Step 2: Soft tissue scraping. Using a smooth, blunt, ergonomic object, scrape the length of the arch, moving from the toes to the heel with emphasis near the heel where it hurts the most. Scrape toward your heart for 10 to 15 minutes. These tools can also be found on Amazon by searching “Graston tool.” You have to scrape with some effort for it to be effective, so it may feel uncomfortable.

Step 3: Make sure to buy shoes with arch support. For those shoes you love that do not have good arch support, buy some good orthotics, such as Superfeet that can be found at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

After six to eight weeks, if the regimen fails, consider injections into the area for additional relief. There are a variety of things that can be injected, not just steroids. There are some minimally invasive procedures that can help with this as well.

DISPATCHES Seasonal brain changes in older adults — We’re used to seasonal weather changes, but research suggests that older adults’ brains also go through seasonal changes that make their brains act five years older, meaning five years slower, at certain times of year. Researchers at the University of Toronto analyzed health data on more than 3,000 people, age 70 to 90, from the U.S., Canada and France. Most were cognitively healthy, but some had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. On average, the ability to think, concentrate and remember was better in the late summer and early fall than in the winter and spring. The difference in cognition between winter-spring and summer-fall was the equivalent of almost five years of brain age. The researchers dubbed this effect seasonal plasticity of cognition.

According to a new research review, your answer should be a resounding yes. Researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reviewed 30 studies, involving nearly 267,000 men, that specifically looked at the impact of soy foods on prostate health. Their analysis showed that eating soy foods reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer by nearly 30 percent, and all it takes is a few servings each week. However, researchers did find a clear distinction between the effect of unfermented soy foods, including tofu, soy milk and soybeans, and fermented soy foods such as tempeh, natto and miso. Unfermented soy foods had the most consistent beneficial effect. Fermented soy foods neither reduced nor increased risk.

Westfield resident shares Sugar Plum role in Ballet Theatre of Carmel’s ‘Nutcracker’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Natalie Heinemeyer is ready to take the challenge of an iconic role.

“I am honored to dance the DANCE role of Sugar Plum. It is physically demanding and very exciting to be dancing such a historically relevant piece to music everyone loves,” the Westfield resident said. “Being cast in this role pushes me to work harder than ever and it is good to have an amazing partner like Gabe (Gabriel Weiner) to perform with.”

The Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy will perform “The Nutcracker” at 7:30 p.m.

Dec. 15 and 2 p.m. Dec. 16 at Carmel High School’s Dale E. Graham Auditorium.

“We’ve double-cast all of our lead roles since we have so many talented performers,” Ballet Theatre of Carmel Artistic Director Jane Hachiya-Weiner said. “It’s a nice situation to be in. We have doublecast a few roles, but I don’t believe we have ever double-cast our Sugar Plum Fairy before. We’re pretty pleased.”

Anya Stephenson, Carmel, will play Clara in the Dec. 15 show with Emmanuelle Hendrickson, from Kirklin, playing the Sugar Plum. Heinemeyer will play the Sugar Plum Dec. 16 and Miriam Danek, 11, Indianapolis, plays Clara.

Heinemeyer, a 16-year-old homeschooled sophomore, said the challenge is trying to make the role her own.

“I’ve always loved it,” Heinemeyer said.

“The music is very nostalgic to me.”

Heinemeyer enjoys the training.

“But my favorite part is performing,” said Heinemeyer, who is in her fifth performance with Ballet Theatre of Carmel.

Heinemeyer played Odette in “Swan Lake” in the spring.

“I’ve danced since I was 3, mostly ballet but I did some tap,” said Heinemeyer, who trained at a school in Paris for two weeks.

Stephenson, who turns 11 in January, said she is excited to play Clara because it will be her first solo.

“I’m excited to keep working on the

party scene, but I’m still really nervous,” she said. “I didn’t think I would get (the Clara role), but I did want it.”

Stephenson, a West Clay Elementary fifth-grader, and her family moved to Carmel from Livermore, Calif., before the school year. She previously trained at the Livermore School of Dance for five years.

“I find that even non-dancing families are excited about putting the holiday ballet as part of their holiday rituals,” Hachiya-Weiner said. “We try to keep our ‘Nutcracker’ not deviating from the traditions. It just needs to be a heart-warming, full story and we don’t delve too much into the innovative or creative but want to keep it as a warm, touching story for the American family.”

Gabriel Weiner, Indianapolis, is playing

the prince for the second time. He also played the role in productions in Lansing, Mich. and Lafayette.

“The more times you do it, the more you see how deep it is and different aspects of the role you need to work on,” he said.

“It’s different every single time.”

Hendrickson is playing Sugar Plum for the second year in a row.

“Hopefully, this year it will be a lot more fluid,” she said. “It won’t be easier, but lots more to work on and make it smooth.”

Danek said she didn’t expect to be cast as Clara, but it’s her favorite role. Learning new steps is her biggest challenge, she said.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $18 for students and seniors. For more, visit ballettheatreofcarmel.org

‘Soul of Christmas’ concert set at The Cat editorial@youarecurrent.com The Artist Development Co. will present “The Soul of Christmas” featuring vocalists Blair Clark and Brenda Williams at 7 p.m. Dec. 16 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

The Well Coffehouse

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8890 E. 116th St., Suite 120, Fishers What to get: The Tryptofan-Tastic Price: $7.50 Anna’s take: The Well is an excellent place to visit for coffee, lunch or good conversation. Most weeks, I visit the quaint, rustic little coffeehouse in downtown Fishers at least once. It’s an excellent place to work for a while or order a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

I typically visit The Well for its coffee and its incredible mission – using profits to build wells in Africa, hence the name – but I tried the lunch items the other day and enjoyed my experience. Items are inexpensive, tasty and filling. I ordered the Tryptofan-Tastic, a turkey, provolone, tomato, spinach and

bruschetta sandwich on grilled sourdough bread. Choose a side of chips to go with the sandwich. I recommend the sriracha and honey Dirty Potato Chips, cooked kettlestyle to make them crunchy and satisfying.

Apart from its mission, another thing I appreciate about the The Well is, even though it’s always packed with people, the customers are so kind. On my recent visit, there were no open tables. A woman noticed me searching for a place to sit. She offered to share her space with me, and although I had never met her, we talked for 30 minutes about our respective lives and Thanksgiving plans. Kindness like that can really turn a person’s day around, and that kind of kindness thrives at The Well.

Suggested pairings: All of The Well’s coffee drinks are excellent, but I love the traditional drip coffee. If you have a sweet tooth, try the “Here It Is,” The Well’s take on a pumpkin spice latte.

Investing in the arts pays off Commentary by Jeffrey McDermott Carmel’s investment in the arts has been significant, and for good reason: It pays.

Some of the intangible SPOTLIGHT benefits of arts investment are obvious – wonderful entertainment options, beautiful venues and growth in community pride. Other intangible returns may be less apparent but no less real.

Studies consistently show that children that are involved in the arts perform better on standardized testing; enjoy greater self-esteem, enhanced creativity and higher graduation rates; and are more likely to attend and be successful in college. Elderly citizens suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia benefit greatly from music therapy. Participation as an artist, patron or student promotes community cohesion and personal psychological wellbeing. “Arts communities” are more inclusive and diverse in nearly every way.

But what about the more tangible benefits of the arts? Research shows that arts investment simply makes financial sense.

A 2017 study by Americans for the Arts re-

vealed that the nonprofit arts industry in Carmel generated more than $19.5 million in annual economic activity, including more than $12.5 million spent by our various arts organizations and an additional $7 million in event-related spending by audiences.

Arts organizations in Carmel support the equivalent of 653 full-time jobs, generating $11.6 million in household income and $1.9 million in local and state tax revenue. The average person attending an arts-related event in Carmel will spend $26.39 beyond the price of admission on meals and other goods and services. A non-Carmel resident spends even more – $42.26 on top of the ticket expense. Indeed, 62.9 percent of nonresident attendees come to Carmel specifically to attend a particular arts or cultural event, filling our hotels, restaurants and shops during their visits.

So, why do we invest in the arts? The better question to ask is, “Why wouldn’t we?”

Carmel residents appear in play

By Heather Lusk editorial@youarecurrent.com Two Carmel residents are lending their skills to the Beef & Boards cast of “A Christmas Carol” during its three-week run.

Rebecca THEATER DeVries has never before performed in “A Christmas Carol” but has been taken under the wing of veterans like fellow Carmel resident Vickie Phipps, who has DeVries portrayed the Ghost of Christmas past for four years.

“New people bring out a different aspect of the show,” Phipps said. “It’s new. It’s fresh.”

Sets and costumes are recycled from previous productions and several cast members return, so although rehearsal only lasts one week, DeVries said it’s not a huge challenge for the majority of the cast.

“For most people it’s just a refresher,” she said.

The production started Dec. 1 and runs through Dec. 21.

DeVries has been in many Beef & Boards shows aimed at children, most recently “Rapunzel” and “Cinderella” with Phipps.

DeVries enjoys working with children and serving as an acting and audition coach when she’s not on stage. One of her young students also is in the show.

Because she plays Mrs. Cratchet, DeVries works directly with the children in the cast.

“I know the story well, but I also know that evPhipps erybody in the audience knows the story,” DeVries said. “You want to bring something that’s familiar, but you also want to keep it a bit fresh.”

For Phipps, the one-hour performance isn’t a huge time commitment during the holiday season, which allows her to still spend time with family.

“It just helps me get into the spirit of Christmas,” she said. “I look forward to seeing most of the same people (involved in the show) every year.”

‘B’ ruined the spelling bee Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Does it bother anyone else that the word “subtle” has a silent “b?” Is it ironic that the word subtle means GRAMMAR GUY “understated?” The “b” in subtle is, therefore, itself, subtle. Are you with me?

We don’t spell “settle” with a b. It’s the same with settle, sidle, saddle and Seattle.

“B” isn’t in those words. So, why the “b,” subtle?

Subtle started out its life as the Latin word “subtilis,” which was an adjective describing the thin, delicate material used for producing a veil. Subtilis hopped on a boat to France and became “soutil” in Old French. “Soutil” meant thin and delicate.

Once William the Conqueror (my 29th greatgrandfather on my mom’s side) and the Normans invaded England in 1066, “soutil” made the journey across the English Channel as well, becoming “sotil” in Middle English. Its meaning grew beyond physical delicacy into how we now understand subtle in an abstract way.

So, what happened? Doesn’t it make sense to drop letters that aren’t pronounced in a word?

In the 17th century, a group of nerdy Englishmen, who were known as the Latinists, started re-spelling English words to ground them in their Latin origins. Because of this, they added “b,” “I” and “p” back into words that had evolved from Latin. Sotil, therefore, got its “b” added back, and it began to be spelled “subtle.” The “b,” however, stayed silent – subtle, even.

At this same time, several other words that started as Latin words ultimately arrived into the modern English lexicon with added letters. They, too, originated in Latin, then migrated into Old French and rode the Norman wave into Middle English. These words include aisle, debt, doubt, indict, salmon, plumber and receipt.

Some words, on the other hand, didn’t lose their “b”, even though the “b” was no longer pronounced. They include “bomb” and “dumb.” So, beware of falling under the spell of an unexpected “b”—you might just get stung by it.
