Recovery Room requests 19-foot nitrogen tank

By Michael Rheinheimer news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission held a public hearing for Grand Park Fieldhouse Amendment III at DEVELOPMENT its June 17 meeting. The amendment would allow the construction of a 19-foot-high nitrogen tank for The Recovery Room’s cryotherapy program.

In accordance with the current ordinance, the tank must be hidden behind a masonry wall, solid evergreen screen or a combination of the two. Concerns about cosmetic changes to the building were raised at the June 10 Westfield City Council meeting.

Konnie Komarovsky, a co-owner of the Recovery Room, represented the fieldhouse at the meeting.

“What we’re here to present today is our solution (for) the covering of the silo,” he said.

“Our intent here is to essentially blend in with the building.”

Komarovsky’s mock-ups proposed adding a logo to the sides of the enclosure. The silo also will be partially enclosed by a chain-link fence which will allow for ventilation. The fence will be wrapped in the Grand Park Fieldhouse’s logo.

There was no public comment.

Commission member Steve Hoover said the proposed covering is an improvement on the original proposal, but he still has concerns about the chain-link fence.

“To me, that doesn’t meet the intent of our

ordinance – of our calls for masonry covers,” Hoover said. “It’s difficult for me to envision.

I’m concerned of what that’s going to look like.”

Komarovsky said the chain-link is for a specific purpose.

“The reason the chain-link is used on the side, sir, is ventilation requirements that Airgas is putting on us,” he said. “If the solution is for me to print the exact brick pattern (on the fence wrapping), that’s what we’ll do.”

Hoover also requested a sample of the fabric the fence would be wrapped in.

According to Komarovsky, the tank must have 50 percent ventilation. He said the wrap will be opaque enough to allow ventilation.

Commission member Bob Smith was the last to speak.

“There’s quite a bit of work that needs to be done with this,” he said.

Since the agenda item was a public hearing, no vote was taken.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks announces retirement

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When her second term started, U.S. Rep Susan Brooks had discussions with her family about whether to pursue another term in the offPOLITICS election cycle.

“When Republicans won the presidency I definitely thought I could see myself wanting to stay four years with a Republican president,” said Brooks, who represents the 5th District, which includes all of Hamilton County. “With the first term Brooks of that, it was exciting to get a lot of legislation really moving. That has slowed down (with Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives), but I can’t complain too much because I really got a significant piece of legislation done with the reauthorization of the Pandemic All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act.” This time, after consulting with her family, the Carmel resident decided she wanted to spend more time with her husband, David, and their two children, who are spread out across the U.S. Brooks’ daughter, Jessica, lives in Minneapolis and her son, Conner, is in Anchorage, Alaska. Brooks said she and her husband need greater flexibility to visit their own parents when their care needs grow. So Brooks, 58, announced June 14 she will retire after the end of her fourth term in 2020.

“It’s a quality-of-life issue and nothing else,” said Brooks, who won re-election in November 2018 with nearly 57 per-

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Union Row developers hope the seven lots they’re proposing for the 2.5 acres at 606 and 608 S. Union DEVELOPMENT Street will serve an unmet market in downtown Westfield.

“The whole premise of this whole development is we want to be under $600,000 because some of these other builders keep creeping up and up over that and young couples can’t afford it and retirees who want to downsize might downsize in square feet, but their price doesn’t downsize,” Patch Development developer Pat Chittenden said. “We think there is a niche market and we can figure this out. We will get young professionals with no kids or empty nesters.”

The development was presented to the Westfield City Council during its June 9 meeting.

BBG Construction will be the signature builder for the project. BBG Construction is based in Westfield and was the 2017 Homea-Rama winner.

Each lot is one-third acre. Prices are

expected range between $500,000 and $600,000. The proposal already met with the Grand Junction Task Group, which supports it. The homes have the option of additional living space to be built above the garage to serve as an in-law suite or place to operate a home business.

“No one is taking advantage of Union Street en masse,” WKRP Indy Broker Curt Whitesell said. “They’ve built one house at a time in places, but we are right on Union Street, the main corridor, and we are able to do seven homes.”

The proposal will appear before the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission for a public hearing July 15. Developers said they have not heard concerns from neighbors. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

Local man adopts, to fundraise

By Sophie Nulph news@currentinwestfield.com A local man’s life has come full-circle through his work with the Roche Children’s Walk.

ADOPTION Westfield resident Brad Todd started a job at Roche Indy at the same time that he and his wife were looking to adopt internationally.

“For us, it was something where it just felt like that’s what our path was,” Todd said. “We were strongly led and called to it.”

They brought their son, Levi, home in 2011.

During the same time frame, Todd began to get involved in the Roche Children’s walk, a fundraiser that helps different projects around the world. Money raised at the Indianapolis event benefits Roche’s international funds and the Indianapolis Jameson Camp.

The Jameson Camp conducts a weeklong camp called Tataya Mato that allows children impacted by HIV/AIDS to attend for free.

Roche is the world’s largest biotech company.

Todd said he was motivated to get involved in the Roche Children’s Walk because of the number of orphaned children in Ethio-

pia, where Levi is from.

Todd was able to travel to Ethiopia with Roche. While there, he spent time at Salam Children Village, an orphanage started by two sisters who also were orphaned as children. The second part of the week was spent working with children to engage them in learning. “(The goal of the work was) to influence children’s ability to be excited about going to school and be successful,” Todd said.

The Roche Children’s Walk is June 25 at the Roche Indy Campus. For more, visit roche.com.

Since winter of 2018, many Westfield residents have noticed an interesting addition on the hill near the CLAY TERRACE Clay Terrace Boulevard/Range Line Road entrance to Clay Terrace.

For the past six months, a pair of large black and white eyeballs has peered down from the top of the hill, making it look like a living creature. The hill has generated many comments on social media, with some residents guessing at the display’s purpose and who is behind it.

As it turns out, that person is Carmel citizen Jason Selburg, and the eyeballs are simply meant to make people smile.

Selburg, who lives near the hill but does not own it, said he was inspired after seeing a photo of beach ball eyes in a pine tree.

“I just thought, ‘That looks silly. Where could I do that?’” he said.

Selburg purchased a pair of white beach balls, painted them with black latex paint and affixed them to the top of the hill. He assumed the eyeballs might be moved when it came time for mowers to begin work in the spring. But Selburg was pleasantly surprised when workers mowed around them.

That’s not to say that keeping the eyeballs in place has been easy. The set topping the hill now is the fourth pair Selburg has ordered. The first were blown away by strong winds. The next set was the wrong size. The third set disappeared but eventually turned up at Carmel High School, leading Selburg to believe that its removal was a senior prank.

For Selburg, the eyes have always been about one thing: positivity.

“If something just sitting up there can throw someone out of their normal behavior loop enough, then that smile might turn into not honking at the car in front of you,” he said. “Truly, the heart of it is that I wanted to make people smile, and it’s working.”

Proposal requests tax abatement

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com At the June 10 Westfield City Council meeting, city planning staff member Amanda Rubadue presented DEVELOPMENT an item from the agenda requesting the establishment of an economic revitalization area, the first step in approving real property tax abatements. The request was for Browning Chapman, which is looking to build a $4 million office and warehouse space, approximately 67,000 square feet, at 2101 Bastian Ct., in the Northpoint development at U.S. 31 and 191st Street.

During her presentation, Rubadue said the company was looking for a seven-year property tax abatement. However, when Larry Siegler, president of the Peterson Company, gave a presentation on the proposal, he said Browning Chapman was actually seeking a 10-year tax abatement for its development.

“The mayor’s office was talking five or seven and we had a good conversation with them, but respectfully, we are here to ask for 10. Let me talk about why we think that’s a reasonable request,” Siegler said. “My company, we do a lot of construction around the city and central Indiana, just my company alone built eight buildings in Whitestown and all had 10-year tax abatements. The last couple of months, even Zionsville approved two buildings for a 10-year tax abatement and that’s kind of a big stretch for them.”

Siegler said in the development world, competition is real and tax abatements help attract companies to a certain area.

Siegler also referenced the Toyota Bastian development near the proposed Brown-

ing Chapman development.

“Toyota Bastian, they got a 10-year abatement and they’re right next door,” Siegler said. “Bastian had 50 employees, about $2.3 million in wages. Browning Chapman has 90 employees with over $6 million in wages. I would argue, and that’s why we think our request is reasonable, if you’re going to give a 10-year tax abatement for 50 (employees) and $2.3 million in wages, and you (may) have 90 employees coming to Westfield, that’s a solid project you’re going to want to have.”

Some of the city council members expressed concerns about the request.

“I have a little concern. I’m sitting here with numbers indicative of a seven-year tax abatement and you’re requesting a 10year tax abatement, and I don’t have the numbers to justify that,” council President Mark Keen said. “I’m not a big fan of tax abatements as the former superintendent (of Westfield Washington Schools). I’m a little hesitant to go along without administration crunching the numbers and giving support moving forward with the 10-year abatement.”

Other council members expressed similar concerns. However, because approving the establishment of the economic revitalization area did not guarantee the approval of the 10-year tax abatement, the council members approved the agenda item, 6-0.

Keen asked the petitioners if, when the company first moved to Fishers, they received a tax abatement there. The petitioners said not. Keen also reminded the petitioners that the council has the opportunity to rescind tax abatements on an annual basis, and the council did rescind one recently.

Mended Hearts hits 11 years

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Last month, a group whose focus is heart health and support, celebrated its 11th anniversary.

H E A RT Mended Hearts, whose local HEALTH chapter meets monthly at Riverview Health in Noblesville, welcomes Hamilton County-area residents and offers peer-to-peer support for heart patients and their families. The organization works to educate area residents to be proactive in getting heart scans and checkups.

Mended Hearts President Marv Norman has been involved with the group for approximately four years.

“I jogged and worked hard to be sure that I would not have heart trouble but still got it,” Norman said. “I have had open-heart surgery, have a pacemaker and am susceptible to atrial fibrillation. The best thing a heart patient can do is follow their doctor’s advice for medications, diet and exercise.”

The group’s motto is, “It’s great to be alive and to help others.” Aside from monthly meetings, trained Mended Hearts members spend time visiting heart patients at Riverview Health to provide support to

Westfield pilot places Hot Wheels cars around the world for Brooks Blackmore

By Sophie Nulph • news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield resident Brian Evers, a UPS pilot, recently returned from flying around the world and leaving behind Hot Wheels cars and paintings made by COVER STORY Brooks Blackmore, a 6-year-old Carmel resident who died from cancer. Paired with Brooks’ favorite toy and his paintings is a summary of his story, statistics on pediatric cancer and a link to the Be Brooks Brave Fund.

In March 2019, Evers took an “Around the World Trip” and took Hot Wheels packages with him. Brooks’ mom, Tracey, began placing the cars locally and called the effort Finders Keepers. Evers heard of her efforts and wanted to take Finders Keepers worldwide. He delivered the toy cars in Anchorage, Alaska; Osaka, Japan; Taipei, Taiwan; Dubai, UAE; and Cologne, Germany. After leaving three of the packages in the Dubai mall, Brooks’ mom, Tracey Blackmore, was contacted by a boy from England, Fraser Cain, who had found the car in the mall. The Facebook post included a snippet about how touched the family was because the boys father had beat cancer in 2014.

Evers said he began his mission to do whatever he can to help the Blackmore family.

“I don’t know what it was. The actual deliveries of the cars and reading the cards (that tell Brooks’ story), it just, it hit me hard,” Evers said. “Ever since (the beginning), I have been doing everything I can to help the Blackmores.”

Since Evers began his mission, others have gotten involved, including his 7-year-old son, Henry. Henry and Evers shaved their heads at the June 1 St. Baldrick’s Foundation head-shaving event in support of the fund.

The second Be Brooks Brave and Shave Summer Celebration raised $28,329 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The fundraiser, which exceeded its goal by $7,000, was held at Westfield CrossFit BBZ and was nationally sponsored by Sports Clips. The event included head-shaving and braiding.

The fundraiser is conducted by St. Baldrick’s. It is one of the largest non-government funded cancer research organizations for children in the world.

Evers participated in the fundraiser last year and shaved his head for the cause. He was recognized for raising the most money at last year’s event.

Some of Evers’ biggest supporters were his co-workers.

“I cannot thank my fellow UPS pilots enough. I am up to over $1,000 of donations from just them,” Evers said.

The story behind pilot Brian Evers and the Hot Wheels

Fraser Cain discovered one of the Hot Wheels cars Brian Evers placed to educate others on Brooks Blackmore in the Dubai Mall.

The Shave Summer Celebration fundraiser is not the only way the Blackmore family honors the memory of Brooks Blackmore.

Blackmore was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in June 2015. He had two inoperable brain tumors and later a spinal tumor. He died in May 2016 at age 6. For his seventh birthday, his mom, Tracey, wanted to honor Brooks. Because of his dream of becoming a racecar driver, Tracey began to hide Hot Wheels locally to spread awareness of childhood cancer and to memorialize Brooks. The Blackmores called the effort Finders Keepers.

Tracey continued to post updates on Brooks’ health during his fight as well as updates after he died. One of the people that followed the journey was Westfield resident Natalie Evers. After finding it emotionally difficult to read the posts, Natalie kept tabs on the Finders Keepers campaign. She contacted Tracey Blackmore and offered help through her husband, Brian, who is a UPS pilot.

The Be Brooks Brave Fund has raised $173,559 since launching in 2016.

ESSAY First and last

LETTER Superheroes deserve the attention

Commentary by Terry Anker School’s out. The kids are enjoying the lazier days of summer.

Homework is not a part of the evening ritual and wake-ups are a bit less frenzied. Class projects, final exams, the big game and the epic dance, no longer on the horizon, are all slowly fading in the rearview, never to be seen again.

The events themselves slip into some blur of our collective memories. They become part of the weeks, the months, the years into which we organize ourselves. We adults, every one of us, has some recollection of school days. They revolve around friends, teachers and, hopefully, some smiles. But even as the reminiscences flood in, the details are faded and facts are confused. To help us maintain some order as life rushes by, we rely upon photos and mnemonics to keep it straight.

Dad remembered events by the car he drove at the time something occurred. Each automobile was imbued with special significance and could be recalled in chronological order. Others invest in firsts – first kisses, first cars, first homes and first flat tires. It makes some sense since we humans are prone to remember most under a modicum of distress. There may be nothing more stressful than crossing over from the uninitiated.

Likewise, we may keep a list of lasts – the last time we saw a dear friend, the last chicken dumplings that our grandmother made for us and the last time we laughed until our sides ached. Others? Even so, these firsts and lasts can sneak up on us. For some, this school year was the last, and for others, the first. Should we plan for these or are we better served to just let them happen?

All’s calm on the vacay front Commentary by Danielle Wilson As I begin writing, I can hear our Lab’s stomach seriously gurgling, loudly and often. She just ate, so I’m not sure if everything is about to come back HUMOR up or simply in the digestive process. Reminds me of the old days when I’d try to crunch out a piece during nap time. Would I finish before the rugrats awoke or would my creative flow be blocked by crying and dirty diapers? Time will tell. I may need to cut this short if the dog throw up, but I’m willing to risk it for the biscuit.

I’m pleased to announce that we here at Chez Wilson survived the annual family vacay to the beach, where 26 of us piled into a house for one week. The littlest is 3 and the oldest is 77, but we managed to make memories and keep the shanking to a minimum.

Actually, I don’t recall any fights between cousins, spouses, or my four sisters, which

is really impressive when I think about how much wine was consumed. We had one case of confirmed bronchitis, several painful sunburns and my mom did come precariously close to rumbling with a neighbor group who set up their tent directly in front of ours (and threw fishing lines where the kids were swimming!), but on the whole, it was remarkably relaxing. In fact, the only drama was a live production of “Legally Blonde,” where my 6-year-old niece, in the role of Elle Woods, asked if her toilet-paper boobs were too big. Classic.

Nothing else to report, and I can no longer hear gastro rumblings from The Dog. Life is good.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

-Albert Einstein

Editor, Superheroes are everywhere these days.

Superman and Batman have been household names for decades, but in the past 10 years, thanks largely to the Marvel movies, characters once only known by the most devoted of comic book junkies now have their own action figures.

Why do superheroes have such a powerful hold over our imagination? Two researchers in the European Journal of American Culture described superheroes as a part of America’s “national myth.” In their 2016 study, the researchers examined a Marvel comic mini-series called “Fear Itself.” The allusion in the title to Franklin Roosevelt’s famous speech was itself a part of the national myth. That period in history was found to be particularly important to the message of the comic.

In the 2000s, when the mini-series was published, society was in the midst of significant social unrest. Society had a long list of reasons to be fearful and worried, and for most of the 2000s the comics industry reflected that unrest. So, in 2011, “Fear Itself” called upon America’s national myth, the ideals of society and used superheroes to promote them.

That portrayal of society’s ideals is the true importance of the superhero.

Remember to forget birthday

Buying Selling Buying Or Or Selling A A Home?

Home?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A few days back, I forgot our anniversary — our 39th. I remembered the first 38, so my record isn’t bad. Our HUMOR anniversary was Friday, and we had planned to attend the Italian Fest and the Talbot Street Art Fair on Saturday to celebrate.

The actual date totally slipped my mind on Friday. I left the house that morning with no thought of the special day. When I returned home, I found a sweet anniversary card Mary Ellen had left on my desk, but she was left cardless and flowerless and I was obviously brainless. I think you can understand how I made this error.

Saturday’s weather was terrible, but Mary Ellen still wanted to go downtown.

She seemed to be in a good mood, but I sensed I was still in the dog house.

After we parked, she requested a certain eatery (I didn’t particularly like the place, but I was in no position to assert my preference.).

We walked the art fair in a downpour, with only one umbrella.

“It’s OK, Mary Ellen, you use it. I enjoy walking in the rain. It’s romantic,” (It’s actually not and I hate getting wet, but remember, I did space out old No. 39).

On our way home, Mary Ellen asked if we could stop at her favorite antique store.

“Of course,” I said. “I love antique shopping.” I hate it, but I was trying to crawl out of the dog house.

That evening, she asked me to clean the cat’s litter box.

“Wait a second, I never do that. Angel is your cat.”

“No, she’s our cat. Just like we are now celebrating our…”

“I know, I know. Where’s the scooper?”

Saturday finally ended, after I had yielded to every one of Mary Ellen’s whims and desires. To further make up for my memory lapse, I also promised that for our 40th next year we would travel to Barcelona, a place she has always wanted to visit.

Before we fell asleep, she leaned over to kiss me goodnight and whispered, “My birthday is in July. Please let it slip your mind.”

Celebrating 47 Years in Business

2018 ECLIPSE CROSS UP TO

Riverview Health Foundation announced June 10 that it has received a gift of $500,000 from Dave PHILANTHROPY and Jackie Cox, Courtney Cole and Darren and Monica Peck for the expansion of the under-construction Infusion Center expansion at Riverview Health in Noblesville.

More than 10,000 patients are treated annually in the Infusion Center.

“While the patients receive wonderful care from the dedicated physicians, nurses and staff, the current facility doesn’t offer the right kind of environment,” said Megan Wiles, executive director of Riverview Health Foundation.

The expanded Infusion Center will have private rooms, semi-private rooms and community seating to allow patients to select an area based on how they are feeling and availability. The new Infusion Center will have an open floor plan with windows and natural light. Construction is expected to be complete later this year.

“As a patient receiving treatment for hours at a time, it would have been wonderful to have windows,” Cole said. “The lighter

The Cox, Cole and Peck families have a long history and connection with Riverview Health. Jackie served as the executive director of Riverview Health Foundation from 1988 to 1997. Dave served on the foundation board and as chair in 2011 and 2012. Monica served as a member of the foundation’s philanthropy council, and Courtney has been a patient and advocate for Riverview Health and the foundation for many years.

“We are so grateful for the generous support of Dave and Jackie Cox, Courtney Cole and Darren and Monica Peck for this important and impactful project,” Wiles said. “We have several other families, along with the Riverview Health Auxiliary, who have already made naming gifts for this project, but the Cox, Cole and Peck families’ gift is our significant lead gift, and it’s so appropriate given their history and connection to Riverview Health as well as to our community.”

The foundation has committed to raise more than $1 million for the expansion of the Infusion Center. For more, contact Megan Wiles at 317-776-7317 or mwiles@ riverview.org.

BEER IS NEAR A guide to some of the best Hamilton County breweries

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

(Above) Union Brewing Company’s 5 oz. pours are only available al a carte. They are $2.50 each. From left, Java Diffie, Triple Zeroes, Under the Table and Fred’s Red Ale. (Left) Upland Carmel Tap House offers a flight of seven, 6 oz. pours for only $9.95. (Photos from Anna Skinner)

With craft beer and local breweries on the rise, here’s a brief guide to some of the best breweries — and what they offer — in Hamilton County.

Union Brewing Company

Address: 622 S Range Line Rd., Carmel Hours: Noon to 9 p.m. Sunday, 4 to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and noon to 1 a.m. Saturday Best beer: Java Diffie Review: I typically am not a dark beer drinker, but this collaboration between Union Brewing Company and Java Coffeehouse really hit my taste buds right. Union Brewing Company serves cask beers, which means the beer’s carbonation occurs naturally. The beer is stored in a cask with sugar, which the beer yeast consumes and then turns the product into a carbonated brew. Cask-brewed beers have a creamier mouthfeel and not as much bite from the carbonation. Since UBC’s brews are unique, I suggest ordering a flight so you can try several at a time. UBC’s samples are sold separately, at $2.50 each, and are 5 oz. pours. I sampled the Java Diffie (my favorite), the Triple Zeroes (very dry, but delicious), Under the Table (a Beligan strong beer, which owner Nathan Doyle describes as “big and boozy”) and Fred’s Red Ale. Website: unionbrewingco.com

Upland Carmel Tap House

Address: 820 E. 116th St., Carmel Hours: Noon to midnight Sunday, 11 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Best beer: Champagne Velvet, a pilsner.

Review: Upland’s best deal is definitely its flight of seven 6 oz. beers for $9.95.

Five are from Upland’s year-round menu: Dragonfly IPA, Upland Wheat, Champagne Velvet, Campside Pale Ale and Bad Elmer’s Porter. The person ordering gets to pick the other two from the seasonal menu. If it’s available, definitely check out the Latitude Adjustment. Upland has a quiet, beautiful patio that is the best environment to enjoy its excellent beers.

Website: uplandbeer.com

Four Day Ray

Address: 11671 Lantern Rd., Fishers Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

Best beer: Blood Orange Blonde, an American blonde ale Review: Four Day Ray is spacious and an excellent place to go if you want to pair a hearty dinner with locally brewed beer.

Raising Cain over rear Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ephesus Theatre in Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Great Theatre of Ephesus Commentary by Don Knebel A dramatic confrontation reported in the New Testament occurred inside a Roman theater in Ephesus. That colosTRAVEL sal theater is still in service today.

Ephesus, on the west coast of what is now Turkey, was founded by Greek colonists from across the Aegean Sea in the 10th century B.C. By the third century B.C., the city was famous for the nearby temple of Artemis, an important fertility goddess.

Featuring 127 ionic columns and covering 1.6 acres, the temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. When the Romans took control of Ephesus in the first century B.C., they made it the capital of the Province of Asia. They reassociated the temple with their goddess Diana and greatly expanded a Greek theater built into a hillside on the north side of the city, creating a seating capacity of 25,000. By the first century A.D., the population of Ephesus was as high as 250,000.

According to the Book of Acts, Paul went to Ephesus in about 54 A.D. Local silversmiths selling miniature representations of the temple complained that Paul’s teachings about Jesus were endangering their livelihoods by suggesting that Artemis/Diana was not a real god. Residents responded by dragging Paul’s traveling companions into the Great Theatre, where a shouting mob menaced them. The melee ended and the men were released when the city clerk demanded that the silversmiths pursue their

grievances in court, warning that they could be charged with provoking a riot. By the time Paul left Ephesus in 56 A.D., the city was home to an important early church.

Christian vigilantes destroyed the temple of Artemis/Diana in 401 A.D. after Roman Emperor Theodosius I had outlawed paganism.

But the Great Theatre, with its three-story stage house, has survived and is occasionally used for performances, including one by Elton John in 2001.

Cliff from Wilmington points out how I recently wrote that I was “raised in Oklahoma.”

GRAMMAR GUY First of all, thanks for not making some sort of joke about how Okies don’t know anything about grammar.

After all, it’s a statewide mandate that all Oklahomans love our papaws and grammers (especially her synonym rolls). Cliff takes issue that I chose the word “raised” instead of “reared.” Let’s talk about raised and reared, shall we?

There’s an old grammar axiom that goes something like this: Animals are raised; humans are reared. This is based on the definition of “raise” as to grow or breed, while “rear” means something more like “taking care” of something and “assist something to maturity.” On paper, that makes sense. Case closed, right?

Not so fast! According to the AP Stylebook, “Only humans may be reared. All living things, including humans, may be raised.” That’s a horse of a slightly different color. It allows “raised” to be applied to humans. Is the AP Stylebook the judge, jury and executioner on the subject? Well, technically, it’s the standard for newspaper writing, so — yeah, kind of. But let’s let popular opinion be the jury, shall we?

I took a gander at Google’s Ngram Viewer, which shows word and phrase usage in books through time. When I searched

both “rear children” and “raise children,” I came away with some fascinating findings. Yes, “rear children” was the more popular phrase back in the day. However, around the mid-1960s, “raise children” overtook “rear children,” and continues its steady march in popularity to the present day. At this point, to “raise children” appears about three times more frequently in books than to “rear children.”

So, it seems that “reared” in Oklahoma is probably the precisely correct term, although, according to the AP as well as the court of popular opinion, “raised” is the normal thing to say. Here’s where my subjective grammar gavel comes down: Use “reared” in a formal setting; use “raised” for informal use. To me, “reared” sounds like something that happens to your car when the guy behind you doesn’t stop in time. Just don’t raise hell or kick my rear if you happen to disagree.
