Chamber returns with Share the Love event

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Chamber of Commerce will return with its annual Share the Love nonprofit open house-type event, NONPROFITS in lieu of its February luncheon, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Nest at Grand Park Events Center, 19000 Grand Park Blvd.

Twenty-five to 30 nonprofits will set up in the event center.

“We want to recognize what impact the nonprofits make on our community. We believe the nonprofits add a lot to the overall fabric of our community,” Westfield Chamber of Commerce President Nick Verhoff said. “We also want to establish a relationship between the business community and the nonprofit community, because many of the nonprofits depend on the business contributions in order to carry out their causes.”

Verhoff said the luncheon will be more of a walking lunch than a sit-down lunch.

“We will feed them, and then they can go right out into the main area where they can visit with the nonprofits,” Verhoff said. “It will be sort of a conference-type setting in the sense that each nonprofit will have their own table, and participants can go from table to table to spend as much time or as little time with the nonprofit as they would like to.”

Unlike previous years, Verhoff said the luncheon won’t include speakers.

Most of the invited nonprofits are from

One dead after alleged reckless driver causes crash

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com One man was killed and six other people were injured after police said an aggressive driver caused a three-car acciACCIDENT dent Jan. 18 along Ind. 32 and Willow Creek Way. Westfield police and fire departments, along with other agencies, were dispatched to the scene shortly after 8 p.m.

Westfield Police Dept. Officer Mike Wheeler said aggressive driving played a part in the

accident. The driver was reportedly going above the posted speed limit.

Wheeler said more than one witness described the driver as “driving aggressively.”

Police identified Anthony Harrington, 33, Kokomo, as the deceased individual. He died on scene.

Wheeler would not confirm whether Harrington was the passenger or driver of the vehicle that witnesses reported was being driven aggressively.

“Speed makes this intersection very severe,” Wheeler told Current in 2017. “People are

just not paying attention to the roadway.”

Wheeler said, however, the accident had nothing to do with the entrance.

“It was simply because of the aggressive driving behavior, and right now that is a contributing factor,” Wheeler said. “The entrance had nothing to do with it. It just happened right there.”

Harrington and the most severely injured person were the only occupants of the vehicle that was being driven aggressively. Victims from the other vehicles have since been released from local hospitals.

Gilbert vies for council seat

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Jake Gilbert may be best known as the varsity football coach who led Westfield High School to an IHSAA ELECTION state championship in 2016, but he’s taken steps in other areas to learn how to be the best leader he can.

That’s why he’s running for Westfield City Council District 2. He regards leadership as one of his strenghts.

“I love it here. It’s an opportunity to serve and give back,” Gilbert said. “I’m invested here both now and for the future. I’ve always been called to do this. I want to plant roots and stay here. I want to be a part of the future. I do think it’s a pivotal time as we grow into what the city is ultimately going to be, and I think it’s going to take great leadership, and I hope to be a part of that solution.”

Gilbert is the dean of wellness at Westfield High School. Previously, he taught U.S. government and leadership classes.

If elected, he would remain in his position with the schools.

“I just think we have some unforeseen challenges in our immediate future, and to me, it’s mainly about the opportunity to re-

ally shape our city going forward,” he said.

“I think also as the city truly grows, trust and transparency and character are vital for anyone who’s going to lead, and I think I can provide that.”

In addition to his position as dean of wellness, Gilbert is in charge of social emotional learning programs at WHS and serves on several other committees, including the Westfield Washington Schools Wellness Committee, the Westfield Well-being Coalition and the Westfield Teachers Association.

He also supports several charities.

Longtime library aid to retire

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Longtime Westfield Washington Public Library Children’s Services Manager Vicki Parker soon will retire after 35 CAREER years with the library.

The Westfield resident said when she first visited the library decades ago, she noticed an empty desk in the children’s section.

“My daughter was in preschool at the time, and I asked if they had a part-time job, and they said, ‘Well, maybe,’” Parker said. “(WWPL) offered me 10 cents under minimum wage, which was $3.10 an hour at the time, 35 years ago.”

That one empty desk started a lifetime of work at the library for Parker, who said she worked at the desk for five years before the children’s librarian position was created.

Parker has led countless story times, special events, summer reading programs and other activities.

“I believe in what libraries can do for children,” she said. “It can empower them, they can do independent learning and it feeds

Parker said now seemed like the right time to move on with her life. She said she will definitely miss working with the children.

“Every child is an individual, and I respect that and I think it’s important to respect their rights to be human beings,” she said.

“I have never done this to get any attention.

I do it because it’s a good thing to do and I love doing it. If I changed the life of one child, it will be worth it.”

Westfield needs you on council Commentary by Donald Rainwater

OUR PROMISE

A smile, firm handshake and quality, honest work.

Visit our website for special offers and to meet our team.

HowaldHeatingAndAir.com (4328)

Westfield is a great place to live and raise a family, as evidenced by our growing and diverse population.

ELECTION We have culturally diverse businesses thriving in every corner of our city, churches throughout our city representing a rich collection of religious diversity, and our schools are filled with children from households representing every category of diversity.

The City of Westfield is building a wonderfully diverse population base, making us stronger as a community.

Please take a look at the current Westfield City Council at westfield.in.gov/council, which has seven seats, including five district seats and two at-large seats. Our current city council doesn’t really reflect our city’s diversity. Now, that isn’t a knock on them. However, I do think that our city council should reflect our diversity, moving forward. The only way that Westfield’s city council will reflect our diversity is if a

diverse group of people are elected to city council. So, I am suggesting that you consider running for city council.

If you believe, as I do, that our city council should reflect our city’s diversity, I encourage you to consider running for a seat on the city council. Our city council and mayor are up for election in November.

I don’t care if you run as a Republican, a Democrat, a Libertarian or an Independent. I believe that our city will be stronger when we have a diverse group of citizens participating in our city’s government.

If you would be interested in running for city council and need help getting started, contact the political party of your choice or the Hamilton County Election Office, hamiltoncounty.in.gov/219/Election-Office.

The only way that Westfield’s city council will reflect our diversity is if a diverse group of people are elected to city council.

Donald Rainwater, Westfield, is the chair of the Libertarian Party of Hamilton County. To reach him, write rainwater4indiana@outlook.com.

WESTFIELD’S WELL-BEING Mayor gives State of the City, wellness coalition launches

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Andy Cook spoke on all things Westfield during the Jan. 17 State of the City luncheon with the COVER STORY Westfield Chamber of Commerce.

Cook’s topics included the progress of Grand Park, above-ground construction on Grand Junction Park and Plaza and the firstyear success of Indianapolis Colts Training Camp. He also addressed statistics for those struggling with mental health issues, particularly students.

Cook also announced the launch of the Well-being Coalition of Westfield — a joint effort between the Hamilton County Community Foundation, Westfield Washington Schools and the City of Westfield — to address mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual issues by expanding community resources and training opportunities.

“What I wanted to come up with is a plan sometime toward May or June on how this city will once again stick together as a community and address this issue (of wellbeing),” Cook said. “We know we can do it.

If we make a clear-cut plan of awareness and clearly define the problems and have a clear-cut path on how to solve it, the people of Westfield will pour their hearts into it and their time and their effort and their money.”

The core planning committee recently met for the first time, so Cook said details about the well-being initiative haven’t been firmly established. But they will be better developed in May when the coalition releases its plans. Among other outcomes, he hopes the effort lowers student stress and senior citizen loneliness.

Among other topics Cook touched on, he shared statistics showing 17 percent of sixth-grade students at Westfield Intermediate School have reported feeling sad or hopeless for two consecutive weeks. An additional 7 percent reported they had contemplated suicide. Cook said his generation didn’t deal with the same high rate of mental health issues as today’s youth.

Kyle Miller, the WWS coordinator for social and emotional learning, serves on the planning committee for the coalition. Miller said perhaps social media has something to

do with the teen mental health statistics, which also impact learning.

“Back when we were in school, we could go home and get away from all of it, but with social media and everything else that comes at us, kids don’t always feel like they have a respite,” Miller said. “I think, too, we are a very busy society, and we don’t allow ourselves time to relax, rest and recharge. If we are not doing that, it has a direct impact on how we present ourselves and how we feel.”

WWS looked at school nurse data from the 2008-09 school year and compared it to data from 2016-17. In 2008, there were only 15 cases where a student went to the nurse for what the nurse determined was an anxiety-related issue. In 2016, that number ballooned to 252.

Suzanne Clifford, CEO of Inspiring Transformations, is helping facilitate and coordinate the well-being coalition. She also is a key player with the coalition and has a

wealth of experience in the mental health field.

“I’ve been working with the City of Fishers for quite a few years now,” Clifford said.

“I have worked in about half the states in the country doing some type of mentalhealth coalition, but I’m really excited about this one. The number of people that are interested in working together to solve a tough problem is critical, so I think this will be very successful because of the commu-

nity spirit.”

The Hamilton County Community Foundation, WWS and the city pooled together more than $24,000 of seed money for the planning phase, but the participants aren’t sure what the cost will be to implement the final plan. But Cook said he has faith in the Westfield community, and if it can accomplish something like spreading the Youth Assistance Program across the state, it can accomplish anything.

“It’s something, as a city, we must address, just as we have done with youth assistance,” Cook said. “We know there are bills moving through the legislature as we speak to fund and expand the Youth Assistance Program, that began in little tiny Westfield, and take that program all across the state of Indiana. We have done it, and we are going to do it again, so that really is what this will become. This is what I want to become the legacy of Westfield.”

ESSAY Real ‘beauties’

LETTER Outdoor ethics at MacGregor

Commentary by Terry Anker Many of us break away from the gray Indiana winter days looking for warmer clime and a few rays of sun. Some head to the Caribbean, others to the great American Southwest. But the majority find their way to the various resorts and barrier islands along the south coast of Florida. The populations swell, seasonally, with all manner of pasty-pale northerners from Manitoba to Tennessee, all seeking a few days of beach time to scrub the accumulated barnacles from too many short and dreary days.

Even then, we arrive, carrying still our winter pounds – too soon from the holidays and too shut-in by the weather to have shed them – even as we lug our suitcases filled with bright, cool clothing waiting since September to be worn again.

But alongside has come to be this new breed of Floridite — the “beautiful person.” They have decamped the notion of ever returning to the homeland that spawned them, instead satisfied, buoyed by trust-funds or fortune, to live the vacation life year-round. The day consists of various forms of newly discovered exercise and detoxification. Afternoon brings social media and a consensus with others of their ilk on where the clump will congeal for dinner and entertainment that night and overnight.

To meet the test, the restaurants and clubs must only admit “beautiful people” (and the very, very rich).

Even better if the venue allows for an appropriately distant place for the regular folks to gawk and applaud such that the “beauties” can feign an inconvenience at it all. Still, the spontaneous choreography is beautiful and tragic. It may be time for a lemongrass-avocado rub – or is that a toast?

Highs and lows of 47 Commentary by Danielle Wilson I celebrated a birthday over the weekend, and as I reflect on the day itself, I’m trying to decide whether it was good HUMOR or bad.

On the surface, I definitely deserve a do-over. To most people, it will “sound” terrible. But if I’d been able to script my most perfect of days, I’m not sure it would have been too far off what actually transpired.

For starters, I knew my 47th would be quiet. Doo took three of our four kids to attempt skiing in Michigan, leaving me with our youngest, who had school commitments. I abhor being cold and potential death by arboreal collision, so I was more than happy to stay behind. Besides, I gained a freebie trip to sunny Florida come February as part of the deal. Win-win!

What I didn’t count on was coming down with a mild sinus thingy, leaving me tired and headachy. And though I thought my

I’ve-been-smoking-Marlboros-since-middleschool voice was kind of sexy, the resulting upper lip cold sore was decidedly unattractive. My celebratory mini-shopping spree would have to wait. So, too, would my highly anticipated afternoon at Regal Cinemas with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Deteriorating road conditions from an ice storm made leaving the house just plain stupid. Disappointing, for sure, because I’d also wanted to try a new method of soup smuggling.

I spent most of my birthday sick and trapped indoors. But I enjoyed a comfy couch by a fire, Netflix at my disposal and plenty of calls and texts from family. Not exactly what I had planned, but relaxing, nonetheless. Chalk “47” up as a good birthday!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

-Ernest Hemingway

Editor, I love MacGregor Park! I have spent hours there, from walks with friends to community activities to family outings. It is my favorite park in Hamilton County. I love the feel of it as a passive nature park where, despite the sound of U.S. 31 traffic, you can feel immersed in nature.

In a recent article (Jan. 8) and on my visits, I noticed that there is a practice of hanging tree ornaments on a tree in MacGregor Park. I thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss outdoor ethics, which are dear to my heart. I understand this seems like an innocent community activity, yet it can do harm on many levels. Leaving things in nature that do not belong become harmful to animals who might mistake them for food.

When manmade items are left as “decoration” for nature, it is essentially littering.

Leave No Trace Principles in their simplest form state, “Take only pictures, leave only footprints.” I challenge the community to allow nature to be enough. The frost on the tree, the dew drop, the dark-eyed junco and the plump persimmon are all nature’s decorations. We don’t need plastic and glass to adorn our trees in natural areas. All seven of the principles of Leave No Trace can be found at lnt.org.

For the love of meatloaf Commentary by Dick Wolfsie After writing more than 1,000 weekly humor columns, I’m out of ideas. I told Mary Ellen there is nothing left to HUMOR write about. I added that Dave Barry and Art Buchwald both had nervous breakdowns due to the pressure. That last part isn’t true, but my wife is not a Googler, so I may get away with it.

I wanted Mary Ellen to say something like, “Dick, you are creative. Don’t let a little writer’s block get you down. Something will come to you. It always does.” Instead, I got, “Maybe you’re right. Just tell the newspapers you’re quitting.”

When I was a kid and felt overwhelmed

by Spanish or geometry, my mom would tell me I could do anything I put my mind to.

Then she’d cook my favorite meatloaf dinner. Why can’t my wife treat me more like a child?

I decided to call Heidi, my proofreader. I knew she’d be more encouraging.

“Heidi, I can’t write another column,” I said. “I’m hanging it up. There are no more original ideas.”

“You’re right,” she said. “There’s probably nothing funny left to say. It’s been pretty

obvious the last few weeks.”

“Wait a second. Aren’t you going to tell me that I’m incredibly prolific and I will eventually come up with a topic, just like I always have for 20 years? You must have something else to add.”

“Oh, yeah! Don’t forget to put that last check in the mail.”

I texted my sister in New York. Her response: “Oh, well, one less thing in my inbox each week. How’s the weather out there?”

Finally, I called my friend. Bob and his wife read my stuff every week. Cathy answered the phone. I told her I had probably written my final column.

“Dick, give it time. Something will come to you. You have a great imagination. I know you can do it.”

“Wow, thank you, Cathy. That’s the kind of support I was looking for.”

“You’re welcome. Do you want to come over for dinner tonight? We’re having meatloaf.”

The Westfield Referral Network recently began its own group, having previously operated as an affiliate CONNECTION under Business Network International.

Jeff Boller, a member of the network, said operating individually will allow the network to grow and involve more businesses.

“We felt like it was going to allow us to grow more because BNI has fees, and a lot of companies don’t want to pay the fees associated with being part of that network, so we spun off on our own in September 2018,” Boller said. “Westfield Referral Network is made up of businesses either located, or who do business, in Westfield, so the goal is really to promote business among partners and look for opportunities to generate business for members of the group.”

The networking group has approximately 12 members and is actively seeking more.

The group meets weekly at Boller’s Vision One Real Estate office, 3501 Westfield Rd. “The first 15 minutes is general network-

Blood pressure medicine could increase lung cancer risk — When you’re prescribed an ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor to reduce high blood pressure, you’re likely to hear about side effects such

as dry cough, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. According to new research, lung cancer may be a frightening addition to that list. ACE inhibitors, such as Lotensin, Vasotec, Prinivil, Zestril, Accupril and Altace, STK# T17028 are used by millions of people. A new study included almost 1 million patients who were newly started on a blood pressure drug.

During the course of the decade-long study, just under 8,000 participants developed STK# T17028 lung cancer, a rate of about 0.8 percent.

Compared with patients on ARBs, patients on ACE inhibitors had a higher risk of developing lung cancer.

Blueprint for Improvement: Indoor/outdoor living in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: This home, built in 2005, is in the Delaware Trace neighborhood of east Carmel. The lot features a large backyard that was being underutilized.

THE CHALLENGE The homeowners wanted a larger outdoor living space and a better functioning backyard. They were looking for a solution to maximize the available space so the family could enjoy the outdoors year-round.

Pamper Your Classic Car!

NOW OPEN Pete’s Classic Storage and Restoration

• Secure and Clean Environment • Detailing Services • State-of-the-art Security • Skilled Technician to Maintain Your Vehicle • Air Filtration System • Climate controlled • 15,000 sq. ft. Facility • View your car or motorcycle 24 hours a day with our online app

THE SOLUTION The goal was to create an indoor/outdoor living space that the homeowners can enjoy for most of the year.

1. A new three-seasons room replaced the original deck. The foundation and decking were updated, and the roof and siding match the existing exterior of the home.

2. Eze-Breeze outswinging windows and doors allow the homeowners to effortlessly convert the room from sunroom to screened porch. It’s a true indoor/ outdoor living experience!

3. A fireplace was added so the space can be enjoyed in the colder months.

4. The outdoor area now features a large patio furnished with a gas fire pit.

5. For more on this project or to learn more about us, visit our website or find us on social media.

Daniels takes on challenge of iconic ‘Grease’ role at Beef & Boards

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sarah Daniels regards performing as Sandy Dumbrowski in the musical “Grease” a unique challenge because THEATER the role is so iconic.

“Olivia Newton-John was so perfect in the film, and that performance is what sticks in people’s memory, but the (Broadway) musical came before the (1978) movie, so as an actor that is where I dive in,” Daniels said. “Sandy is brought to life from the text, the way she communicates with others, her relationships, etc. Sandy has definitely been one of my favorite roles to play, up there with Sophie in ‘Mamma Mia’ and Elle Woods in ‘Legally Blonde.’

“She is very assured and knows her boundaries as well as her morals. She is a little sassier in the musical than she is in the movie, and that’s what grounds her transformation in the end.”

Daniels will perform in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “Grease” Feb. 7 through March 31. Daniels and Kaleb Lankford, who plays Danny Zuko, are making their Beef & Boards debut.

Daniels has long been a fan of the musical.

“I secretly always wanted to be a Pink Lady,” she said. “I remember as a kid watching the film and being completely shocked when Sandy came out at the end, completely transformed, and thinking, ‘Wow, I could never do that.’ The music is still so memorable to this day. It’s hard not to fall in love with this story and these unique characters.”

Daniels said she understands why the story still resonates with audiences. “‘Grease’ is a story about discovery and finding yourself. At its core, I think it’s something people can relate to at any age,” said Daniels, whose husband is actor Skye Scott.

Daniels was an alternate to play Sandy in a Toronto production before getting the role.

“I was very lucky in that I ended up get-

ting to rehearse with the cast as Sandy for the first two weeks,” she said. “(Original cast member) Janel Parrish was doing press for her new TV show and couldn’t be at rehearsals. As an alternate, you typically only get the luxury of one run-through with the cast and can be thrown in any time. I ended up going on the first weekend as Sandy, and I’m so thankful I had the first few weeks with the cast because it was a whirlwind of quick changes and technical aspects I hadn’t experienced yet.

This version of ‘Grease’ is a little different than the version I did in Toronto, so I’m very excited to explore those differences with this cast and creative team.”

In addition to acting, Daniels is an active gamer. She livestreams on Twitch.tv and has more than 35,000 followers.

“Gaming has always been a huge staple in my life,” Daniels said. “I started playing very young, starting on the Super Nin-

tendo and the Sega Genesis. Growing up, I was always balancing gaming and performing. As a 12-year-old on the national tour of ‘Bear in the Big Blue House Live,’ I traveled with a PlayStation that had its own battery and a fold-up LCD screen, so I could game on the go. I only play noncompetitive modes, player versus environment, as opposed to player versus player, such as RPGs (role-playing games) and first-person shooters. People tune into my channel to watch me play through games and make witty commentary as well as play with me and chill out and chat with others who have the same things in common. I never thought I could turn gaming into a career. I’m thankful for my incredible viewers every day. I would be nothing without their support.”

“Grease” is directed by Eddie Curry and choreographed by Ron Morgan.

Exhibit features Andrews sisters editorial@youarecurrent.com “The Andrews Sisters: Queens of the Jukebox” is on display through Nov. 1 in the Great American Songbook Foundation’s Songbook Exhibit Gallery, housed at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and prior to select performances at the Palladium.

Best known for the classic “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” LaVerne, Maxene and Patty Andrews recorded more than 600 songs and scored 46 Top 10 hits in their heyday from the 1930s to the ’50s. The swing-era trio’s distinctive close harmonies sold an estimated 75 to 100 million records, making them the world’s top-selling pop artists until the arrival of The Beatles.

The exhibit includes interactive multimedia touchscreens that enable visitors to experience music and video of the group as well as the performers who inspired them and the vocal groups they influenced. A traveling version of the exhibit is available free of charge for display by schools, libraries and other community organizations.

Is Pacers is or are?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Statue of John Lennon in Havana Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Honoring John Lennon in Cuba Commentary by Don Knebel Among the most unexpected sights in Havana, Cuba, are a small park bearing a statue of John Lennon and a nearby bar devoted to music that Cuba TRAVEL previously banned.

In 1964, soon after The Beatles had appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro issued a nationwide decree banning The Beatles and their music as the supposed product of the decadent capitalist system. However, by the late 1990s, motivated at least in part

by Cuba’s desperate need for revenue from Western tourists, Castro’s attitude toward The Beatles changed. He now pictured John Lennon as a revolutionary martyr because of his opposition to the Vietnam War. On Dec. 8, 2000, the 20th anniversary of Lennon’s murder, Castro personally unveiled a bronze statue of Lennon in a public square west of Havana’s Old Town.

With “All You Need is Love” playing in the background, Castro explained why he had decided to honor the once-banned Lennon:

“I share his dreams completely. I, too, am a dreamer who has seen his dreams turn into reality.” The life-size likeness of Lennon, depicted as he looked during his days of protest, sits at the end of a bench, at the base of which is a Spanish translation of, “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one” from “Imagine.”

Busloads of tourists soon began coming to Parque John Lennon to have their pictures taken sitting beside the famous Beatle. The round eyeglasses were stolen so often that they are now guarded. In April 2011, the Cuban government opened Submarino Amarillo (Yellow Submarine) just east of the park. In the lively bar featuring blue and yellow walls covered in images of The Beatles and lyrics of their songs, Cuban musicians play music from the ’60s and ’70s that once would have led to their arrests.

Source: BottomLineInc.Com Soil testing made easy — Home gardeners now have an easy way to check the pH level

Last week, I discussed the topic of subject-verb agreement. Many of you wrote in and asked GRAMMAR GUY about sports teams, particularly sports teams whose names don’t end in “s”: Are they considered singular or plural? Would you say, “The Jazz is winning the game” or, “The Jazz are winning the game?”

This is a tricky one. When it comes to the Indiana Pacers, you would always say, “The Pacers are winning the game” because “Pacers” is obviously plural, therefore the noun takes the plural verb “are.” The same goes for the Panthers, Packers, Pirates and Patriots. You would never say, “The Panthers is looking sluggish out there.”

When it comes to the official rules of grammar, allow me to punt to the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style.

Both guides suggest you treat all team names as plural, regardless of whether the team name ends in “s.” So, this means you should (according to the rules) say, “The Heat are winning the game.”

But what about soccer? And what

of soil. The General 4-in-1 Soil Condition Meter measures pH, moisture level, and temperature.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com Interior storm safety – During a storm, you are generally safe inside. Lightning, however, can still get to you through the conductive paths in your house, including wiring, plumbing and water. Talking on a corded phone, taking a shower, working on a computer or handling power tools during an electrical storm could be risky.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com

about England?

Many soccer clubs go by their city or club name, so you have teams being referred to as merely Liverpool or Watford (for city names), or Arsenal or Crystal Palace. By the same rule, you hear soccer (or football) announcers say things like, “Arsenal are really having a tough go of it today.”

So, my big question is: Does the same rule apply to your team when you’re referring to its location?

When referring to teams, locations and schools, use singular pronouns and verbs: “Harvard is bad at football.” Team names always take plural verbs.

The official British rules state a team is always plural, whether you’re referring to the team name or the city name. That’s why you hear British announcers say, “France are the World Cup champions.”

This sounds strange to our American English ears because our rules are different.
