The famed Nashville-based Big Woods Restaurants has selected Westfield for its next location. expansion Big Woods plans to build an 8,000-square-foot facility in the heart of Westfield, with construction to begin in the summer. A timberframe structure will be a key design feature of the new stand-alone restaurant at the southwest corner of Ind. 32 and U.S. 31.

With locations in Bloomington, Speedway and Franklin, the new restaurant would be Big Woods’ first north of Indianapolis.

EdgeRock Development owner and Managing Director Birch Dalton said Westfield is fortunate to have Big Woods.

Dalton’s company owned the land that Big Woods purchased. He said the company looked at other shopping and retail areas, including the I-69 corridor in Fishers and I-65 near Whitestown.

“This is a major deal for Westfield with Big Woods,” Dalton said. “The truly unique construction right on the corner (of Ind. 32 and U.S. 31) will be very beneficial.”

The new restaurant will have outdoor seating and other amenities along a major thoroughfare. Dalton said he is excited to finally have development for the land.

Jeff McCabe, owner of Big Woods Restaurants, said after reviewing many other locations across the state, Westfield was the best fit.

“We took the time to know the people of Westfield,” McCabe said. “We have watched Westfield develop over the past few years.

What’s happening in the city and our proximity to Grand Park, being not too close but not too far, we’re really looking forward to being a part of the community.”

McCabe said the company plans to add 75 jobs in Westfield.

The restaurant’s rustic interior is a draw for customers, McCabe said.

“What we find is with the inside timber frame at our locations it often evokes a memory from people,” he said. “A good example is someone coming and being reminded of a cabin or ski lodge. Fortunately, we have really dialed in on what people resonate with.”

The new restaurant will have a water feature in the front, most likely a pond with a fountain. McCabe said he wants guests to enjoy the view from the outdoor seating on the porch.

The company must still submit a detailed development plan to the city council before construction begins. The land has already been zoned and maintains a planned unit development for EdgeRock.

Dalton said the nearby area is quickly developing, thanks in part to its proximity to Grand Park.

“We will definitely have another site with a hotel or two,” Dalton said. “We are also looking at adding potential office spaces.”

The full beverage menu includes Quaff ON Brewing. Co. and Hard Truth Distilling Company’s wide selection of beer and liquor.

Mayor Andy Cook said Grand Park continues to drive economic growth.

“Once again our community’s investment in Grand Park is doing exactly what it was intended to do,” Cook said. “From its inception, Grand Park was seen as a way to spur long-term economic development for the surrounding area that will cater to our burgeoning hospitality industry.”

The restaurant is expected to open by winter 2018. For more, visit bigwoodsrestaurants.com.

When Solarize Hamilton County realized Senate Bill 309 would reduce the benefits to solar energy users, solar power the nonprofit took action, resulting in its recent recognition of “Sustainable Champion of the Year.”

“When the governor signed it into law in May, we realized that because of that bill, that some people, to get the max amount of benefits from investing in solar, had to invest in solar before the end of the year, which is why we decided to start Solarize Hamilton County,” said Leslie Webb, president of the Carmel Green Initiative. “We think schools and churches and the community should have the right to harvest energy from the sun on their own property and get fair credit for energy or electricity.”

Solarize Hamilton County teamed with local mayors and presented at Carmel and Westfield public libraries on the benefits of solar energy. It also partnered with the cities of Fishers and Noblesville.

Legislators visit chamber

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield Chamber of Commerce President Jack Russell led a question-and-answer panel Dec. 12 with government local state legislators that focused on topics such as education, insurance and alcohol sales. Rep. Donna Schaibley, Sen. Victoria Spartz and Rep. Tony Cook attended the session.

Q: What are you looking forward to in the education committee and what can come out of that?

Cook: “I personally like some changes that have come. I think it’s an opportunity to improve the workforce skill sets that kids have. I think we’ve moved away from that vocational training, and that schools need more skin in the game. Changes need to be tweaked with it, so essentially what it’s calling for is basic curriculum requirements for a diploma being met and demonstrates employable skills.”

Spartz: “I think it’s good for us to reassess, and everybody understands as a state we have to be competitive. We spent 60 percent of the budget on education. We can’t just throw more money into education. We have to look at how we can be more efficient and effective.”

Q: Donna, you sit on the insurance committee. What are you looking forward to in 2018?

Schaibley: “It’s a committee I requested as I’ve been really interested in health care costs and people being able to get access to health care information. A bill we are working on this year is about surprise billing. You go to the hospital and have insurance and the hospital is in your network; however, when they go to hire an anesthesiologist, the one that comes up is not in your network. We are working on a bill to resolve that and have a system to be able to negotiate the rate so people aren’t hit with these incredibly expensive bills.”

City leaders talk future development, plaza progression and trails for 2018

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield residents have a lot to look forward to in 2018, which includes the beginning of Phases II and III of the Grand Junction Park and Plaza, the arrival of Canadianbased coffee shop Tim Hortons and improvements to the Monon trail. Here’s a look at development planned for 2018:

Ind. 32 and Grassy Branch Road A retail center will be built on 30 acres at the northeast corner of Ind. 32 and Grassy Branch Road. Westfield Lighting sold its property, and the future retail center is expected to include a Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons originated in Canada in 1964 with only doughnuts and coffee on the menu. The menu has been expanded to include bakery goods and lunch items. So far, Tim Hortons is the only business announced for the retail center.

trails Grand Junction Park and Plaza Grand Junction Park and Plaza will see the beginning of Phases II and III in 2018. Phase II encompasses the stream reconstruction, which Mayor Andy Cook said can only happen during the winter.

“You can only do work in the winter because of fish and wildlife,” Cook said. “It’s taken five years to obtain all necessary permits to reconstruct the stream. Permits to alter a stream are unbelievable. That (stream reconstruction) also helps complete our long-term project that is often forgotten, and that’s the regional detention project for the downtown, which will forever prevent the downtown from flooding again.”

Plaza design is complete, and Cook said depending on funding, the city will begin bidding out construction projects. Cook said the city is working on finding adequate funding, and if found, construction on Phase III would begin later in 2018. Construction would begin to develop the west half of the plaza.

“There’s a lot of interest in developing the block to the north of Grand Junction,” Cook said. “Part of that is publicly owned property. Probably 75 percent of it is privately owned, so the development community has to deal with all that, but because of Grand Junction construction and the fact this is going to happen, that interest from the private sector has become very strong, similar to the west of Grand Junction, where the emerging restaurant row continues to build.”

A Monon Trail pedestrian bridge will be constructed over Ind. 32 at Wheeler Road in 2018. The project will bid in the spring and construction will begin in the summer. The project will last 12 months and cost an estimated $5.7 million, though approximately $3.3 million is funded by federal dollars.

Another Monon Trail project includes extending the trail into Sheridan.

“We just let bids last week for the final section 7 of the Monon trail, which goes from just north of 191st Street to 216th Street where the county picks up,” Cook said. “That project was under budget, and construction will begin this winter and take a year. By this time next year, you will be able to go from downtown Indianapolis to downtown Sheridan (on the Monon).”

City Services wastewater treatment plant In an effort to transform the old wastewater treatment plant at City Services into a park, the city is dredging sludge from the plant. Although dredging will continue into 2018, it won’t be until 2019 when the plant can become part of the park. The project costs $1.5 million, sourced from the city’s stormwater fund. When complete, the area will become a part of Simon Moon Park and open up access to the Midland Trace Trail.

“It’s going to be a wetland area, and the west side will be a clean fishing pond with a boardwalk,” Communications Director Erin Murphy said.

The Monon Trail extension costs $2.3 million, with $1.7 million funded federally.

Riverview Health Hospital Westfield’s first hospital is slated to open in May at the northeast corner of Ind. 32 and U.S. 31. The 108,000-square-foot hospital will include five inpatient beds, three surgery suites and an emergency room. When the hospital broke ground in 2016, it was planned to only offer outpatient services. The hospital cost $60 million.

Road construction Some upcoming road construction projects in 2018 include extending Ditch Road south from Ind. 32 to 171st St., costing $590,000.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

In God We Trust Commentary by Terry Anker This time of year, we become reacquainted with old friends and family, remembering why we love and miss them. But also, we may remember why we only see them on holidays!

All the same, winter brings out in us an innate desire to reaffirm traditions of all sorts. We search high and low for the “right” sweet potatoes for pie. We love the treat and couldn’t imagine a year without it. Yet, we never seem to miss it the other 364 days of the calendar. Food, decorations and song work our collective memories.

They connect us to each other and to our past. Even more so, we scan the channels seeking the reaffirming and redundant broadcast of our favorite movies and specials. How can the 25th viewing be more powerful than the previous 24?

One favorite, “A Christmas Story,” is adapted from humorist and author Jean Shepherd’s book, “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash.” Loosely based on his childhood home in Hammond, Ind., the story is that of youthful desire. Yet, it elegantly lays out the hopes and dashed desires of the protagonist’s “old man” as well. Even as he misses the top prize, he cherishes the one he does receive.

Likewise, no one thinks Ralphie to be incomplete without a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Still, they suspend their legitimate concerns about his safety to support his long-held dream.

Even as we know that our only complete trust may be reserved for our maker, we work to find trust in those around us. Reliability, support and love may not substitute for trust. But, aren’t they close enough?

REA D ER ’ S V I EW

Caring for others Editor, I was somewhat confused when I read “Standing Still” (Terry Anker column published Dec. 5) in “Current in Noblesville.”

After attending a Christian church worship service, I was able to more clearly understand the statement that is key to the editorial: We must brace ourselves to provision these folks for the entirety of their lives. You summed up the message of Jesus in the New Testament. As support for your statement, I offer two portions of Scripture — 1 Matthew 25: 31-47 (NIV) and2 Luke 9: 10-13 You are in a unique position as a leader in Hamilton County to be an advocate for measures that will assist us in following the instructions of Jesus. Three improvements come to mind: • Advocate for public transportation that will extend into Hamilton County, allowing those in Marion County to have reliable transportation to

accept employment in our county.

• Advocate for 24-hour-a-day, sevendays-a-week affordable day care so parents who find employment here will not worry about their children while they work and will be able to afford such care on the level of compensation many available jobs offer.

• Advocate for Noblesville and other Hamilton County communities to remove restrictions on building homes that families who want to benefit from the amenities of Hamilton County, especially our excellent school systems, can afford.

I applaud you for recognizing the problem and for your reminder that we need to be prepared to care for others, not just in the short term but for eternity! That’s what Jesus Christ would have us do.

What a good message for this Christmas season!

Pamela Kielty, Noblesville

Every Christmas, my four sisters and I struggle to come up with a present for our parents. Often we go solo, one humor framing a picture of the grandkids and another giving a gift card to their favorite restaurant. But this year, divine inspiration hit the youngest, and we magnificently delivered on what will certainly go down as the Best Christmas Present ever. We gave them a golf cart!

First, some backstory. My parents have lived in the same house for 45 years. In 2014, the middle sister found the perfect home, directly across the street from Mom and Dad. They are so close that though impractical, a zip line between the two is feasible. Then this past May, our baby sister moved from Chicago, around the corner and five doors down. Dad often jokes that if this were Monopoly, they’d only need one more for a hotel. So, half of my family lives within 200 yards of each other in what is slowly becoming a compound.

Enter the golf-cart! Middle Sister braved a potential Facebook Marketplace murderer from Carollton, Ky., to purchase an obviously used four-seater, only to have the windshield blow off on her way back. I nearly rammed the thing through a neighbor’s fence as we prepared for the big reveal.

But it was all worth it when my parents were lured outside with lies of carolers and saw it barreling down the street, decked in colored lights and a bow. Mom’s joy in particular was priceless. Now, they can visit and transport grandkids even when hobbled while being the coolest old people on the block.

Best Christmas present ever!

Peace out.

Thanks for the funneries Commentary by Dick Wolfsie This is my annual look back at, and appreciation for, all the people and events that inspired many of my humor weekly columns this past year. For example, thanks to…

• My brother, for getting married for the first time at a very late stage in life. When my sister called and said, “Your brother is doing something no Jewish guy ever does for the first time at the age of 65,” I thought I was going to his bar mitzvah.

• Whole Foods, where I bought an organic bar of green soap, wrapped in clear shrinkwrap. When I got out of the shower the next morning, I told my wife that I didn’t think it lathered very well. “Is it because it’s organic?” I asked Mary Ellen.

“No, it’s because you just washed yourself with a wedge of cheese.”

• Jerry Lewis, who passed away this year. He made me laugh since I was 8 years old. When I was in sixth grade, the teacher called my parents and said that I was always acting like Jerry Lewis in class. I was shocked when my father explained to me this was actually a bad thing.

• The Schneiders, who took us line danc-

ing in Florida. When I was certain I had all the moves right, all the other 65 people were doing it completely wrong. And in unison.

Dr. Greg Estes, my knee surgeon. After being told during my initial visit that my wife wanted to go exploring in the Canadian Mountains the following week, he said, “Sounds rocky to me.”

“You mean the hiking?” I said.

“No, I mean your marriage. What wife would make her husband do that with a knee like yours?”

• Finally, a NO thanks to my wife for visiting her friend in Florida without teaching me how to use all the remotes in the house. We have one for Apple TV, one for the DVR, one for the Blu-ray and one for regular TV. “Did you figure out how to turn on the television?” asked Mary Ellen the first night she called.

“No, but I opened and closed the garage door 11 times.”

Chamber president reviews 2017 year-end, stats

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Chamber of Commerce held its final 2017 luncheon Dec. 21 at the Bridgewater Club. Chamluncheon ber president Jack Russell talked year-end stats and upcoming events for 2018.

Russell said one of the biggest things the chamber focused on in 2017 was bringing in sought-after speakers for luncheons. Some of the 2017 speakers included Grand Park Director William Knox, Bill Benner of the Indiana Pacers and U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, among others.

One of the chamber’s largest luncheons, Share the Love, will return in 2018. The luncheon features many local nonprofits in February. During 2017’s Share the Love luncheon, multiple nonprofits received more than $1,000 in donations.

Other popular 2017 luncheons included a combined Zionsville and Westfield chambers luncheon as well as the Innovation luncheon, which highlighted Noblesville and Westfield schools.

One project Russell said the chamber took on in 2017 was adding an Instagram

page to interact with more businesses.

“Other chamber presidents, most don’t see the value of adding an Instagram page, but we gained 185 new followers,” Russell said. “Just sending out posts on Instagram, we added five new members.

We are seeing Instagram is actually working, and those that are in the service industry, they’re seeing the posts and like that we are interactive on Instagram.”

Russell also recently implemented a podcast so people not attending luncheons and events can still tune in.

“Not everybody can attend every event, so we wanted to find ways to use technology for people to be able to listen to Coffee with the Chamber, to listen to a luncheon, listen to anything we do,” he said. “Going into 2018, our podcast will be sending those out, so people who cannot attend can listen on a podcast.”

In addition, the chamber recently launched a new website and moved into a new office at 116 E. Main St. “We are very excited about that,” Russell said. “It’s a great opportunity as we continue to grow to be right there on Main Street and be right downtown.”

Indy Dental Group opens fifth office

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The building may have previously housed school administration staff, but now all 14,500 square feet of 322 W. Main St. belongs to Dr. Jack Miller and growth his Indy Dental Group team. The halls are adorned with photos from Miller’s racing days, making the office a bit different than a typical dentist’s digs.

Miller is known as the racing dentist. He raced in the Indy Racing League from 1997 to 2001 and competed in the Indianapolis 500 in 1997, ‘98 and ‘99. He opened the first Indy Dental Group office in 2000 in Indianapolis.

Growing the brand is nothing new for Miller, who opened a Carmel location in 2001, then a second office in Indy. He opened his first Westfield office in 2008.

Indy Dental Group Westfield North opened Dec. 11. Seven doctors practice there, providing comprehensive care from cosmetics to family care.

“Our goal is to really make this a big practice,” said Nancy Locke, office administrator. “It’s such a happy building. It’s fun to come in here, and the location is second to none.”

The other Westfield office is at 16407 Southpark Dr., Ste. B. A combined staff of approximately 50 employees work in the five offices. Riverview Health Pharmacy occupies some of the second-story space in the Westfield North office.

The pharmacy will move across the street when the Riverview Hospital in Westfield is complete next year.

Dispatches Coffee for cough – Although most people may have heard of using honey to calm a cough, a recent study shows that combining the honey with a bit of coffee had a significant effect. Study subjects took a mixture of five parts honey to one part coffee, mixed in water, three times a day. The mixture worked better than a prescription steroid or guaifenesin.

“When I found this building and saw it was available, I took a 10-minute tour and told them I wanted to buy it,” said Miller, adding that the Westfield Washington school system and amount of Ind. 32 traffic also caught his eye.

“We have a great relationship with Riverview Hospital next door, and we are going to have a great symbiotic relationship with them.”

The Westfield North office is Indy Dental Group’s largest.

“It’s a natural fit to own this building. We’re going to have a lot of fun and do fun things for the community and the kids,” Miller said.

Miller also pilots Gov. Eric Holcomb in his plane out of Indianapolis Executive Airport. He also piloted for formerGov. Mike Pence.

ZCHS grad produces rock musical

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com

The first time Zach Rosing was asked to help with a theater production, he was sure he was the theater wrong man for the job.

By the time the run concluded, he was sure theater production was in his blood.

“I first got involved in producing theater in 2008, when a friend asked me to help with Rosing a local independent production of the musical ‘Bare,’” Rosing said. “I wasn’t much of a theater person before that, and I’m certainly not an actor, but I realized the various skills from my video and media production business translated very well to theater.

“I made a lot of great friends, and from there I was hooked.”

He still is.

A 2001 graduate of Zionsville Community High School, Rosing has produced more than 20 shows since 2008. His most recent effort is the rock musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” which begins an eight-performance run Jan. 5 at the Epilogue Players Theatre in Indianapolis.

Rosing, owner of Zach Rosing Productions LLC, a video, photography and multimedia business, is working on the

show with producing partner Zack Neiditch. Collaborating under the moniker Zach & Zack, Rosing and Neiditch share responsibilities, which are rather easy to identify.

Rosing produces, and Neiditch directs.

“For ‘Hedwig,’ I’m in charge of a variety of responsibilities, including assembling a staff, money, marketing, including tak-

ing photos and designing artwork, securing the venue, ticketing, etc.,” Rosing said. “Basically, all the behind-the-scenes administrative stuff. I’m also the sound designer for the show.”

A longtime Zionsville resident who moved to Indianapolis a few years ago, Rosing has worked on his own productions and done others for theater companies. He is a three-time winner of NUVO’s Best Locally Produced Play for his work on “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “The Great Bike Race” and “The Gab.” He is producing “Hedwig” for the second time.

A stage musical that opened OffBroadway in 1998, “Hedwig” tells the fictional tale of Hedwig Schmidt, an East German “rock goddess” who makes it over the Berlin Wall after a botched sexchange operation and learns “a thing or two” about life along the way. The cast includes Tim Hunt (who is also the associate producer) as Hedwig Schmidt and Kate Homan as Yitzhak.

Rosing last produced “Hedwig” in 2014.

“I’m excited to revisit it in an intimate, 50-seat venue,” Rosing said. “We always try to surpass expectations for what a nomadic theater company can produce.

Audiences should expect an evening they’ll never forget. Also, it will be loud.”

The show contains mature content and is recommended for people 16 and older. For more, visit zachandzack.com; Facebook.com/ZachAndZack; or Instagram @zachnzack.

Songbook applications due March 25 editorial@youarecurrent.com The Great American Songbook Foundation’s nationwide application process for its 2018 Songbook Academy summer intensive program is under way. The music and performance program for high school students is led by Foundation founder and five-time Grammy Award nominee Michael Feinstein.

The weeklong Songbook Academy is the only high school intensive in the U.S. focused on jazz standards and classic Broadway and Hollywood songs, known as the Great American Songbook. The academy is scheduled for July 21 to 28 at the Songbook Foundation’s headquarters, the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

U.S. high school students are invited to submit videos with performances of two contrasting songs from the Great American Songbook genre. The 2018 application deadline is March 25.

Forty students nationwide are selected each year for this opportunity to participate in workshops and masterclasses.

“These young peoples’ lives are forever changed by the experience, and they stay bonded to each other,” Feinstein stated in a press release. “Whether they become professional musicians or not is not the point.

The goal is just to give them the joy of experiencing this music, and the eloquence and beauty of the emotions and feelings that are expressed in it.”

Fraught with resolutions and anticipation, 2018 is upon us. Why not make one of your goals to expand WINEderlust your wine horizons?

Many of us find something we like and stick with it. You fell in love with Riesling in college and haven’t strayed? Maybe you only drink Merlot. You never buy anything but California Chardonnay? Well, friend, you are passing up some tantalizing taste-bud experiences.

This new year, think about what you like about your “usual” and develop it. Personal growth applies to wine, too.

Here’s how: Pinpoint what you like best.

If you aren’t used to picking out flavors, get an idea by looking at the description on the back of the bottle. You may see words like “hints of…chocolate, red berry, nutmeg, leather, tropical fruit.” Figure out your sweet spot.

Tell the clerk what you usually drink and why. For example: “I am just polishing off the last of my 2005 Gravity Hills Killer Climb Syrah. I really like the bacon fat and

black pepper flavors in it. Can you suggest others that I might like?” The shop keep should say something like, “If you dig bacon, splurge on a Côte-Rôtie from France.

At $56ish the Maison Brotte ‘Les Murets’ is totally worth it. If you’d rather go with mad pepper tonight, 1000 Stories Zinfandel at about $20 is an affordable option. You could also go with a young Rioja from Spain or even a sweet Port like Quinta do Noval, Noval Black. About $23.” You’ve just gotten four diverse options to choose from, each with a little something you already know that you’ll enjoy.

Bottle shops are an amazing resource.

Use them. The server at your favorite wine bar can help, too. Consider signing up for a wine tasting with friends. You will learn so much about what you love and what you don’t. Live a little and explore the wide world of wine this year. Cheers!

Blueprint for Improvement: Whole-house transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background info: This home west of Indianapolis was built in the 1950s as a custom model home. Although the home had many great characteristics, it needed many updates to bring the interior and exterior up-to-date.

The goal was to create more space and to update multiple rooms of the home while keeping a cohesive design.

1. The original galley-style kitchen lacked the space the owner desired. By relocating an interior wall, the kitchen footprint was expanded, allowing enough space to put in a large island for casual seating.

2. Replacing all cabinetry, countertops, hardware and appliances gave the kitchen the modern update it needed.

3. To make the laundry room a more functional space, cabinetry and shelving for storage was added.

4. On the exterior of the home, the pergola was replaced with a much larger freestanding pavilion structure that housed an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and a TV, giving the homeowner plenty of room to entertain.

After

Before problems The original kitchen was very small and narrow, making it difficult for the owner to host guests and limiting flow into the living area.

Several of the bathrooms in the home had original tile, cabinetry and plumbing fixtures. The outdoor living space lacked many of the details that the owners desired.

Budapest’s fitting memorial Commentary by Don Knebel Some of the most beautiful buildings in Europe lie along the Danube River travel as it flows through Budapest, Hungary.

Along the east bank is a haunting memorial to victims of hate.

In 1935, Hungarian Ferenc Szálasi formed a movement sympathetic to Germany’s Nazi party. The movement quickly became the Nyilaskeresztes Párt, or Arrow Cross Party, using as its symbol crossed arrows suggestive of the swastika. The Arrow Cross Party, promoting German/Hungarian racial superiority, won 15 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections in 1939. After the Germans occupied Hungary in 1944, they installed Szálasi as prime minister, giving his Arrow Cross Party control of the government.

None is the loneliest number Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Is none singular or plural? If any mathletes out there are reading this, they would likely intergrammar guy ject, “False! None is zero.” And then they would adjust their adult retainers and get back to discussing their theories on who Rey’s parents really are.

By choosing is in the sentence, the math nerds unwittingly made none singular, grammatically speaking. So, does that mean zero equals one? No. I’m not about to anger the math community more than I already have.

When none means not one or no part, use a singular verb. For example: Because I wanted my body to not hate me, none of the McRib was eaten. Similarly, none can be considered singular when part of a mass noun: None of the wine was wasted. Here, wine is a mass noun (as in: I drank the entire massive box of wine all by myself with some help from my trusty twisty straw).

The plot now thickens quicker than a malted milkshake. While many believe none is always singular, none can also

be plural. When you’re able to substitute none for not any, none takes a plural verb. For instance: None of the members of the math club have ever kissed a girl.

None of them were asked to the prom, so they held an alternative “prob,” which is short for probability. At the prob they thought their chances were statistically decent to end the night with a smooch from the cute girl who recently got contacts. When you make none plural, it makes your syntax less awkward, just like Gwenifer (the girl with the contacts).

So, let’s recap all of the none rules here. Use singular verb agreement when none quantifies a singular or mass noun.

When none modifies a plural noun, to me, it sounds/reads better to use plural verb agreement, although both singular and plural are technically acceptable. If someone suggests none always has to be singular, tell them it’s none of their business.
