Help requested as county’s caseload highest per judge

By Sadie Hunter Sadie@youarecurrent.com For the past year, Hamilton County officials have been working to get help with its COURTS increasing court caseload. Now, the request is ready for state approval at the start of 2020.

The Hamilton County Hughes commissioners, council and prosecutor approved resolutions during the summer supporting the addition of a new magistrate judge. There currently are three in the county. In August, the request was formally sent to the state for review by the Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary.

On Oct. 17, the committee voted in favor of hiring a new magistrate. Magistrates typically handle less complex cases than a judge and have limited powers.

State Rep. Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel) said she plans to author legislation for the session that begins in January to support the addition of a magistrate. If approved, the new magistrate will aid the county’s six superior court judges and circuit court judge for large cases’ preliminary hearings and cases that involve minor offenses.

Hamilton County Superior Court 3 Judge William Hughes said the process is normal when communities and counties grow. Statewide, the population growth rate is approximately 2.5 percent. Hamilton County’s rate the past decade is 17 to 18 percent.

“We have come to be the fourth-largest county in the state. We are projected to be the third-largest county in the state by the end of the decade and the second-largest by 2050 if our current

rate of growth continues,” Hughes said.

“This is a good thing, but with people come cases that require court intervention. We are way behind everybody else.

The next closest county to us has one judicial officer for every 16,000 people. We have one person for every roughly, 29,500 people.”

All Indiana judges work under a Weighted Caseload Measurement System, which sets the Schaibley rate caseload per judge.

“It was an effort years ago to quantify how much judicial time could be expected to be used for a specific case type,” Hughes said. “Take the number of those cases filed with the amount of time that’s necessary and divide it amongst the judicial time that’s available. Everybody in our county is at about 1.3, (meaning) of the 10 people we have, we really need somewhere between 13 and 14 to do the work based on the amount of time available and the kinds of cases that are filed.”

The limited space available in the judicial center in Noblesville is another challenge for the county.

“We have a wonderful judicial center, but it is pretty full,” Hughes said. “If we didn’t have this space issue, we probably would have requested more (judges) this time than we did.”

Hughes said the inability to meet the need and the ever-increasing amount of cases isn’t for lack of trying. Judges often work long hours through the week, but Hughes said processing cases is still falling behind.

“The biggest (issue) is probably in the delay there is to get something done,” Hughes said. “Our pending caseloads have not kept pace with where they should be, based upon the new filings.”

DISPATCHES Heirbrandt re-elected VP — Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt once again was elected vice president of the Indiana Association of County Commissioners East Central District during its annual conference.

New sign ordinance restricts placement

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Commissioners recently amended the county’s sign ordinance to elimCOUNTY inate confusion across city lines.

The amendment unanimously passed Dec. 19. It prohibits the placement of all nonpublic safety signs within public rights of way in unincorporated areas of Hamilton County, along roads Heribrandt and bridges maintained by Hamilton County and on land owned by the county.

Hamilton County streets are defined in the new ordinance as all public streets within unincorporated areas of Hamilton County, 146th Street east from the Boone County line to Marilyn Road, Campus Parkway east from Marilyn Road to the I-69 bridge, Olio Road from 96th Street north to, and including, the roundabout at Campus Parkway and any bridge of more than 20 feet in length within Hamilton County other than bridges crossing I-69, U.S. 31, Ind. 37 and Keystone Parkway.

Hamilton County municipalities except Carmel are expected to amend their sign ordinances at upcoming council meetings and adopt the county’s version so the ordinances are the same. Carmel’s ordinance is already similar to the county’s.

The new ordinance goes into effect Feb. 1.

Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said he knew the county had to take action when, in 2016, a 4-foot 8by 4-foot sign in the median on 146th Street almost caused an accident when it blocked the view of an oncoming car, and a vehicle full of high school students was almost hit.

Typically, signs of that nature are political signs, Heirbrandt said.

“What’s happened with all the elections is there’s a lot of confusion

in regard to what people can do in city limits and outside of city limits because each city had a different sign ordinance,” Heirbrandt said. “When we met with all the mayors, everybody concluded we need a sign ordinance that’s consistent and clear to everybody about what you can do and what you can’t do.”

The amended ordinance outlines penalties.

“We continue to get a lot of complaints about people just randomly (putting up) signs, clutDillinger tering areas and never coming to pick them up. They just leave them there,” Heirbrandt said.

“We have to pick them up, and we have to dispose of them, and there’s a cost to that.”

Heirbrandt said the commissioners passed the new ordinance after the general election in November for a reason.

“We didn’t want others to feel like it was done for a political purpose or why it was done in the way it was,” he said.

Hamilton County Commissioners President Steve Dillinger said illegally placed signs cause several problems.

“When it comes right down to it, this is really a matter of safety,” he said. “Poorly placed signs increase visual clutter, distract drivers and make it difficult to obey street and traffic signs.”

Signs still can be placed on private property with the consent of the property owner.

Illegally placed signs will be taken to the Hamilton County Highway Dept.

Signs can be retrieved for $3 per sign if it is less than 6 square feet and $15 per sign if it is larger than 6 square feet.

If signs aren’t collected before June 30 or Dec. 31 of each year, they may be destroyed.

Copies of the new ordinance are available in the office of the Hamilton County Auditor or at hamiltoncounty. in.gov.

Pedestrian bridge to open, Levinson to take shape in 2020

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville mayor-elect Chris Jensen has already planned his first year in office. He said his goal for 2020 is to take some of the ideas Noblesville officials have discussed for several COVER STORY years and put them into action.

“The Logan Street pedestrian bridge will open, and that’s a 50/50 partnership with Hamilton County aimed at not only rehabbing the bridge but creating a way to safely move pedestrians from the east side to the west side of the river,” Jensen said. “If we want Jensen to continue to make investments on the west side of the river, and we will — you’ll see a lot of those come in 2020 — we have to be able to move people safely across the river if we want to continue to promote connectivity like that.”

Jensen said the bridge will be finished in early 2020.

Construction of The Levinson, a $23.4 million public/private partnership project which will bring apartments, parking and retail space to the northwest corner of Ninth and Maple streets, will continue. The project originally had a completion date of October 2020, but Jensen said there were some construction delays with drilling issues, so he’s not sure of a precise completion date.

“The Levinson will really start to take shape in 2020,” he said. “The construction season this winter will help determine what that timeline looks like, but you will see the building come out of the ground in 2020 and how that’s going to affect the make-up of downtown.”

Jensen said residents also will begin to see construction on Ind. 37 at 146th Street and 126th Street in 2020.

“A lot of times, people view that as a Fishers project, but two interchanges are in Noblesville – 146th Street and 141st Street,” Jensen said. “Looking ahead in 2020, you will start to see Noblesville looking at the northern section of (Ind.) 37. A lot of lessons are being learned currently about the southern piece of 37 that we need to apply to the northern piece.

That project is not complete until it gets well into Noblesville up to (Ind.) 32/38.”

Other road projects include a plan for the Pleasant Street extension project. Jensen said the city

The Levinson had an original completion date of October 2020, but construction delays may push that date further back.

Construction of the Logan Street pedestrian bridge crossing the White River will be complete in the first quarter of 2020. (Submitted renderings)

will continue with the federal aid process into 2020.

“Part of that is a lot of public engagement. I think our goal is to have final designs of that in 2020, and really my goal for the incoming administration is to have a funding package in place for Phase 1 and in front of (the city) council in 2020.

“In 2020, we will move from the idea phase to the funding plan.”

Downtown parking will continue to take shape in

The City of Fishers will begin construction on the 146th Street and Ind. 37 interchange.

the new year. The new parking ordinance for downtown Noblesville goes into effect Jan. 1.

“As The Levinson comes online, that will increase our capacity by 90 percent in terms of parking in downtown Noblesville, and that completely changes the game for us,” Jensen said. “We will look at ways to adjust that and listen to merchants and customers downtown.”

Retail therapy

Wilson’s ‘commentary’ lacking

Commentary by Terry Anker Most retailers are in a celebratory mood as we move into the new year. Sales were strong, buoyed by a consumer will to spend more than usual. Packages, parcels and boxes filled our homes. Gifts wrapped to delight and build anticipation have been opened and enjoyed. Paper, ribbons and bows swiftly moved from treasured to trashed. The dutiful garbage collectors have retrieved our overflowing containers, already processing the waste in furnace or landfill.

So, what do we have for it all?

Our wardrobes are a bit more full.

Perhaps our personal style is a bit more updated. Some presents come imbued with inspiration. Could we wear that garment? How does our loved one see us? But, if we are luckiest of all, we come to feel loved. The small token indicates that another cares for us. They took of their own time in an attempt to contribute to ours. Someone listened to us, noted our unrequited hopes and endeavored to serve them. Isn’t this the very best of human action?

So, in an age when so many once-common needs are met and our lives are already filled to overflowing with stuff, is retail therapy serving its functional purpose? Is a trip, dinner or experience an appropriate substitute for a filled stocking? If so, do we invite ourselves along? Are we giving or instituting a burden? Is love best stored in a talisman or a memory?

Editor, Current in Noblesville has been delivered to our mailbox for several years, as we have been a resident here since 1977.

The contents for a periodical to serve a constituency should include news items, government information, editorials for subjects of interest entertainment notifications, local advertisements and other notices of interest.

The commentary by Danielle Wilson is lacking in redeemable quality due to the caustic comments about family and others being the crux of her “commentary.”

Commentary consists of explanation, interpretation or illustration of legitimate subject matter, and this so-called commentary does none of this. Comedy and lighthearted articles are refreshing from time to time, but one’s personal ridiculous accounts of their life and criticism of others different from her is not commentary.

Disappointed in district’s decision

Response to civics letter

We are not helpless

Editor, I am very disappointed with the decision to not only suspend Mr. Mark Booth for two weeks but also to remove him from his position as director of special education for Noblesville Schools, over a meme copied and posted that referenced President Trump and special needs kids. Mr. Booth was not the originator of the meme posted. Mr. Booth immediately apologized and took responsibility for what he had done and also asked for forgiveness.

Mr. Booth’s many outstanding accomplishments throughout many years of committed and dedicated service to education and all that he has done to make certain that each student, no matter their individual challenges, always had an opportunity of learning above and beyond other’s expectations (shouldn’t be discounted).

Mr. Booth has been a true champion for all students, whether it comes to students who are in the special education program or those who are not. Mr. Booth has a sincere compassion for the special education program.

Sincerely, Rev. Mallory H. Tarrance, Noblesville

Editor, Any open-minded person, as the (“Civics are being tested” letter published Dec. 10) describes, should be able to see that President Trump was afforded and encouraged to have representation at these (impeachment) hearings.

However, he chose to ignore subpoenas and requests, and actually “encouraged” those subpoenaed to not attend. I wonder if the next time you or I are subpoenaed, what would happen if we just declined or didn’t respond?

Finally, I know everything I need to know about this administration; look at the number of individuals who worked for, or were associated with Trump, who currently are indicted or already in jail.

All you need to know about Mr. Trump is how hard he is fighting to not let us see his taxes.

Marty Miller, Noblesville

Editor, Brad Reed (in a letter published Dec. 10) is wrong when he contends that Trump’s right to present an impeachment defense was denied. The House offered him the chance, but on Dec. 6, he refused. In all fairness, Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Guiliani was unavailable, being in Ukraine chasing conspiracy theories.

Reed contends that we as a country need to review our civics lessons. I agree. Too many people are shouting “treason” and “lock her/him up” in response to a constitutional process they do not understand. We could all use a review of the Founders’ inclusion of a way to remove a corrupt president. Reed is convinced that Rep. Adam Schiff is acting as judge and jury, when in fact that role will fall to the Chief Justice of the United States and the Senate.

In George Orwell’s masterpiece “1984,” he describes the confusion and helplessness of the American people when Big Brother constantly lies and changes his position. I contend that we are now in that same position, confronted with Trump’s daily lies, half-truths and history rewrites. But unlike fiction, we are not helpless.

Let the process move ahead as the Founders intended and see what emerges.

Bolt for the Heart run grows Editor, Dear 2019 Bolt participant, sponsor and volunteer, on behalf of the board of directors at Bolt for the Heart, thank you for your participation in our eighth annual Thanksgiving morning family run. This year was another record year in most every metric we use. We had more than 3,500 participants, which is growth of more than 15 percent over last year. We raised more than $225,000 and have been able to make significant automated external defibrillator, or AED, donations in the last month. Please understand that this does not happen without your support.

We were very blessed to hear stories at the race about how CPR, trained first responders and an AED saved the lives of Jeanne Johnson and Kristin Toussing. It also was a pleasure to see officer Tyler Doughtery from the Westfield Police Dept. meet Danny Rhoad, who was saved by Tyler and others with an AED at Grand Park a few years ago.

Our recent AED donations have included finishing placing units in every Hamilton County police vehicle. Westfield Police

Dept. received 45 units, Cicero Police Dept. eight units and Sheridan Police Dept. eight units. We also have started on our aggressive goal of furnishing all 92 sheriff departments in Indiana with units being donated to LaPorte, St. Joseph (South Bend) counties and also will be making a donation in the next few weeks to the Morgan County Sheriff Office of 35 units, finishing up Martinsville and Mooresville.

Personally, I want to thank the city of Carmel, the Chriskindlmarkt team and Carmel Parks and Recreation for their support and willingness to allow us to put on Bolt during a very busy time at the Carter Green and the construction on the running route. Additionally, thank you, Current Publishing. Your continued support and generosity is a key component of Bolt’s success. Carmel continues to be a wonderful place to live, and I could not be prouder of the outpouring of support Bolt receives from this community. Again, we thank you and are humbled and motivated for Bolt 2020!

Pierre M. Twer, Bolt for the Heart president

Rein in our government Editor, Today, we have a federal government that continues to overstep its bounds and increase its power. We have a runaway bureaucracy, bloated government agencies, massive deficits and well more than $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Unfortunately, we can’t vote our way out of the mess that the politicians in Washington, D.C. have made for us.

When the framers drafted the U.S. Constitution in 1787, they knew it was natural for a government to expand and become insensitive, even oppressive, over time. So, a few days before the Constitution was finalized, the delegates unanimously decided to put a tool in place to allow the people to bring the government back under control of the states. That tool was the amendment process detailed in the second clause of Article V Here, the collective states are given the authority to propose amendments that actually bypass the Congress.

Since Congress won’t act to correct itself, it is time we, the people, use Article V to make the corrections needed. You can help make this happen by going to conventionofstates.com. Sign the petition and join the grassroots army that is behind this movement.

36-year-old waits for heart at Riley

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville resident Steven Smith is waiting for a heart at Riley Hospital for Children, but HOSPITAL there’s something unique about his situation.

He’s 36 years old in a hospital with mostly children.

Smith, who has had a congenital heart defect since he was an infant, has waited at Riley for more than 15 weeks for a heart.

Although he would prefer to be home, he said there are unexpected benefits to being a patient in a children’s hospital.

“There’s a lot of activities that go on here that probably wouldn’t go on at an adult hospital. You make friends with some of the younger kids and help them out,” he said. “You play video games with kids and get to watch movies and do stuff like that.”

Dr. Mark Turrentine, professor of surgery and head of the hospital’s thoracic and cardio division, said there’s a specific reason Smith is a Riley patient.

“You have to look at it in two ways.

There’s congenital heart defects and acquired heart disease, but then you also have the pediatric population and the adult population,” he said. “(Hospitals) used to be age-based. The pediatric hospital was for anyone 18 and under, and if you’re 18 and over, you go to an adult hospital, but the skillsets of the teams are different.”

Pediatric surgeons tend to deal more with congenital abnormalities

whereas surgeons in adult hospitals mostly treat patients with acquired cardiac disease.

“There’s this middle group (of patients) who grew up with congenital heart disease and are reaching adult age. Who can best care for those defects? The congenital heart surgeons are the ones who can take care of them the best, and they tend to be based more at pediatric hospitals,” Turrentine said. “If (the adult patients) start to have a lot of other problems in addition to the congenital heart problem, we move them over to Methodist (hospital) because they’re better suited for it.

“For the complex congenital heart repairs, we do those at Riley because that’s where the most experienced congenital heart surgery team is based.”

CHS graduate White takes dramatic turn in ‘Steel Magnolias’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Lari White is eager for her friends and family to see her in a dramatic role.

PLAY “I felt I was getting pigeon-holed as a musical theater actress and I knew I was more than that, so I started doing more straight plays,” said White, whose given name is Larissa.

The 2012 Carmel High School graduate is playing Shelby, a Type 1 diabetic who suffers from kidney issues, in “Steel Magnolias” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. The show opens Jan. 4 and runs through Feb. 2.

“The writer did such a wonderful job of painting a really realistic mother/daughter relationship, all the ups and downs,” said White, who is based in St. Louis. “I’m glad to be able to come home and make my parents cry. That will be good.”

White participated in Ambassadors, CHS’s mixed show choir, her junior and senior years. She also appeared in CHS musicals and plays.

White graduated from Webster University in 2016 with a major in scriptwriting and a minor in film production and professional writing. She worked at Urban Chestnut Brewery Company, teaching craft beer classes and giving tours.

“It was a job to pay rent but I kind of fell in love with it because the community is so tight, especially in St. Louis,” White said.

She also worked for New Line Theatre in St. Louis at the same time.

She did 10 shows in four years.

“They do a bunch of newer musicals, so I got my first professional role there,” she said. “I played Bonnie Parker in ‘Bonnie & Clyde,’ a musical. It’s a nice, 150-seat theater.

Lari White appears in promo for “Lari King Live: At Gunpoint.” (Submitted photo)

It’s more intimate acting.”

White, who has her equity acting card, began pursuing acting full time in May. “I also work as casting director and work as a producer for a production on commercials,” White said.

White has some projects set for the first several months of 2020, including a TV show she can’t yet discuss.

During college, White had a leading role in the 2016 horror movie, “Tonight She Comes.”

“That was an experience, long days,” she said. “I was in school, taking 19 credit hours, doing a show and doing the film shoot.”

LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS Lari White suffered two scary experiences in the past three years.

First, she was held up at gunpoint in 2016. She turned that into a cabaret show in 2017.

“A guy walked by and I thought he was going to ask for change,” White said. “I started to say, ‘I don’t have any,’ and I saw he had a gun. I had been gifted a taser. I was taking my purse and my other hand was going in my pocket for a taser. All of sudden, I had the gun placed against my forehead and he said, ‘Don’t try anything silly.’

“I thought what a way to make me seem like a child, but I’m the one who brought a taser to a gunfight. He took off with my purse, which was fine because I only had a lucky $2 bill and my phone that was old and broken.”

White said feeling the cold muzzle of a gun shattered any sense of security she had.

“It wrecked me,” White said. “I got really sad. I went to a counselor for trauma. After I watched the entire eight seasons of ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ it hit me (that) I had to get over it, and I ended up writing and doing a cabaret called ‘Lari King Live: At Gunpoint.’ It was a comedic take with songs.”

In May, her car was hit by a truck head-on at 40 mph and pushed onto the sidewalk. The truck driver tried to get away but ended up crashing.

“I didn’t feel anything, but the car looks like I should have felt something,” she said.

Unlike the gun incident, White was simply mad she had to get a new car.

“I feel like I’ve built up these nerves of steel,” said White, who now plans a cabaret, “Lari King Live: At the Scene of the Accident” in 2020.

City views Christkindlmarkt as Hallmark movie site

By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel and its festive Christkindlmarkt could be the setting for a romantic Hallmark HOLIDAY holiday movie.

“We hear time and time again from our residents that they feel like their time spent at the Christkindlmarkt is like being in a Hallmark movie,” city spokesman Dan McFeely said. “Hallmark movies often feature the kind of things that we have at the market, a village setting with gift booths, places to purchase food and a lot of hot chocolate and an ice skating rink, all of it beautifully decorated. We think it would be a great stage for a movie.”

The city and its New York-based consultant, Rob DeRocker, have made the pitch to Hallmark. A video, photos and links to key websites have been

shared with the network.

McFeely said Hallmark has shown preliminary interest.

“We are hoping to host a visit sometime in the future,” he said.

McFeely said if the network were to set up shop in Carmel to film a movie, it would naturally boost not only the city’s profile, but also the economy.

1933 Lounge

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9707 District North Dr., Fishers What to get: Oysters Rockefeller Price: $18 Anna’s take: 1933 Lounge, owned

by St. Elmo Steak House, is one of the first new restaurants to open in The Yard at Fishers District. For patrons 21 and older only, the restaurant offers bar seating, sit-down tables and large, wing-backed leather chairs in a quiet corner, ideal for craft cocktails and good conversation. I tried a variety of offerings, and my favorite was the Oysters Rockefeller – six oysters on the half-shell on a bed of rock salt.

The oysters are topped with steamed spinach and a brandy, Pernod, Parmi-

giano-Reggiano mix, and then baked.

The result is a delicious mouthful.

I also tried the grilled slab bacon ($14), which is locally sourced from Smoking Goose. It is a sweet, sticky treat with a root beer maple glaze.

1933 Lounge offers lunch items and combination plates, so I tried the combo plate called The Executive ($24), which is available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. It is a great sampler platter that includes a three-piece St. Elmo shrimp cocktail, two sliders (you can pick from filet, shrimp po’boy or Wagyu beef) and a small Caesar salad or fries.

Suggested pairings: 1933 Lounge has a long list of excellent craft cocktails; many you’ll see listed in Current Publishing’s Behind Bars recipe in the coming weeks. It offers a bourbon flight, which won my heart, but I would suggest ordering a craft cocktail, such as The Godfather (scotch, amaretto, Luxardo Cherry Liqueur) or the espresso martini (Stoli Vanilla, Nocello, Woodford Reserve chocolate bitters and espresso).

Behind bars: Area 51 Margarita Get it at 1933 Lounge, Fishers Ingredients: • 1.25 oz. Patron Silver Tequila • .75 oz. Patron Citronge Pineapple • .5 oz. orange juice • 1 oz. fresh sour mix • .75 oz. house-made turmeric syrup Directions: Dry shake the ingredients, serve over ice in a Tajin-seasoned glass.

Blueprint for Improvement: Meridian-Kessler master suite Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The layout of the bathroom was reconfigured and the bathtub was removed to provide a large walk-in shower.

2. A glass block window in the shower provides privacy while allowing in plenty of light.

3. A custom freestanding vanity and built-in linen cabinet offer ample storage.

4. The bathroom countertops and shower floor tile are made from Carrara marble for a timeless elegance.

5. Custom cabinetry frames the window in the master bedroom, maximizing storage space and adding a beautiful focal point.

THE CHALLENGE This Meridian-Kessler Cape Cod was built in 1935 and received very few updates through the years. The new owners wanted an overhaul of the master suite. In addition to reworking the floorplan of the bathroom, they wanted to expand the size of the bedroom to accommodate two new closets. They also wanted to create built-in storage.

Don’t presume to assume Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Inside the Trotsky House Museum in Mexico City. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting the Trotsky House Museum Commentary by Don Knebel Most Americans do not associate Mexico City with a famous Russian revolutionary, but a muTRAVEL seum in Mexico City pays tribute to where Leon Trotsky lived and died.

Trotsky became a major figure in Russia’s Communist Party after the Bolshevik Revolution. In 1929, he was forced into exile for his criticisms of Joseph Stalin and spent years seeking refuge, leaving country after country while being pursued by Stalinist agents. In 1936, Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and her husband, Diego Rivera, persuaded the Mexican government to grant Trotsky asylum. In 1937, Trotsky and his wife moved into Casa Azul (Blue House), Kahlo’s childhood home in Mexico City’s Coyoacán borough. After an affair between Trotsky and Kahlo that led to the breakup of his relationship with Rivera, Trotsky bought a nearby house, which he occupied in 1939. Following an unsuccessful machine gun attempt on his life by Russian agents, Trotsky surrounded his house with high walls and guardhouses. On Aug. 20, 1940, Ramón Mercader, a Spanish Stalinist

and the lover of Trotsky’s secretary, gained access to Trotsky’s study, in which he hit Trotsky in the back of the head with a mountaineer’s ice axe. Trotsky died the next day from his wounds.

On Aug. 20, 1990, the 50th anniversary of Trotsky’s assassination, his house and exotic gardens became a museum. Trotsky’s studio reflects its exact condition, including the papers on his desk, on the day he was attacked. Bullet holes from the earlier attack are visible inside and outside the house. Trotsky’s gardens now contain a stele, adorned with the hammer and sickle and the Soviet flag, marking where the ashes of Trotsky and his wife were buried. The museum also includes buildings added to the property to display photographs and other items from Trotsky’s life. About 17,000 foreigners visit the Trotsky House Museum each year.

The words ‘presume’ and ‘assume’ are kind of similar, so let’s just use them GRAMMAR GUY interchangeably. Wrong. I think to understand the difference between the two words, we need to understand what “-sume” means.

Get your togas on, because it’s time for a Latin lesson, folks!

According to the Latin Dictionary, “sumere” means “to put on or take up.” Google’s Latin-to-English translator sums it up in one word: take.

You already know the prefix “pre” means “before.” So, when we presume something, we have “put on” what we think about something based on prior or previous knowledge or evidence. Presuming is when we suppose something based on a decent probability that it’s true. For instance, when I walked into my lecture hall class, I pre-

sumed the woman in the pantsuit at the lectern was my professor.

The prefix “as” shows up as a variant of the prefix “ad” when the next letter in the word is an “s.”

Trust me; I looked that up in the dictionary. The prefix “as” means “assert.” So, “assume” is when we “assertively” “take” on an opinion about something without any evidence or prior knowledge. Assuming almost always gets us in trouble.

Both presume and assume have to do with “supposing” something.

The difference is, presume is supposing something about which you already know at least a little bit.

Think of “presume” as an educated guess and “assume” as an asinine guess.
