Councilman wants $6M loan for Grand Park repaid

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com A Westfield city councilman said a $6 million loan for Grand Park made in 2014 should be GOVERNMENT repaid to the city, calling the matter a “blatant disregard” by Mayor Andy Cook.

City Councilman Troy Patton, who expressed Patton frustration during an Aug. 2 city council finance committee meeting, said the $6 million shouldn’t have been used for projects along the way and that it should have been returned to taxpayers so they can have a voice regarding the money.

In 2014, a resolution was approved in which the council loaned $6 million of utility sale proceeds to the city for use within Grand Park. Patton, however, was visibly upset during the meeting and questioned

the city’s chief of staff, Jeremy Lollar, over the matter.

“For God’s sake, pay the money back,” Patton said. “Pay the money back.”

Lollar said the council will consider a resolution when it is drafted but did not have a specific date of when that would occur. A previous resolution did not indicate a repayment structure regarding the loan, but a new resolution should identify Lollar those terms, Lollar said.

Patton said while he enjoys Grand Park, he stressed that the city “continues to spend more money than what things are worth.”

“We’re creating a system of perpetual debt to the taxpayer that we can never recoup,” Patton said.

The city is looking to possibly sell Grand Park or enter a public-private partnership to operate the complex, which is owned by

the Westfield Redevelopment Commission.

An independent committee is expected to review bids for Grand Park and then make a recommendation to the Westfield Redevelopment Commission and the city council.

However, Patton said he hasn’t made a determination as to whether the city should sell the 400-acre sports complex or enter into a public-private partnership.

“I’d have to think it through, and the taxpayers should not be left holding the bag for bad decisions,” Patton said. “The taxpayers should deserve a return on capital.”

Still, he urged action regarding the $6 million loan, saying he believes the city is dragging its feet.

“I’ve heard enough talking,” Patton said.

“It’s time to put a pen on paper and get it done. They’ve been dragging their feet for years and they have no regard for the taxpayer because they think money will come back in next year and it doesn’t matter, no one really pays attention.”

Westfield obtains two appraisals for Grand Park

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield has obtained two appraisals for the Grand Park Sports Complex as officials GOVERNMENT consider selling the park or entering into a public-private partnership.

Integra Realty Resources, based in Indianapolis, appraised the 387.75-acre parcel for $80 million, while a second appraisal by Charles R. Mills Jr. was for $90 million, according to the city.

The Westfield Redevelopment Commission, which owns the complex, released a request for proposals in March seeking companies interested in purchasing Grand Park or operating the campus through a public-private partnership. The minimum price for Grand Park is the average of the two appraisals, city spokesman Chris Prof-

fitt said.

A total of 16 entities met an April deadline to submit an intent to bid on Grand Park, according to the city. Once bids are received by an Aug. 8 deadline, they will be reviewed

by an independent committee.

The committee will be made up of five appointments made by Mayor Andy Cook and will also include a recommended Westfield City Council nominee.

After the panel reviews bids, it will then provide a recommendation to the Westfield Redevelopment Commission and to the Westfield City Council. Both entities will vote on either a buyer or operator of Grand Park or choose not to sell the campus, which opened in 2014.

Grand Park, which serves as the training camp for the Indianapolis Colts, has 31 soccer fields, 26 baseball diamonds, two administration buildings, seven concession stands and a 378,000-square-foot multi-use event center.

If Westfield were to sell Grand Park, city officials previously said they would use the proceeds to pay off park debt. The city still owes nearly $80 million for the complex.

CHS safety finds his talents on the football field, not in the pool

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Winston Berglund gave swimming a shot.

“I gave that up after sixth grade,” he said. “It was insane how many workouts they had every day. I honestly don’t know how my sisters do it. I hated it.”

Berglund found his niche on the football field. The Carmel High Berglund School senior has committed to Purdue University to play football in the 2023 season. His twin sister, Berit, a three-time 100-yard backstroke IHSAA state champion, has committed to swim at the University of Texas. Their older sister, Meredith, will be a junior swimmer for Purdue after competing at the University of South Carolina the past two years.

Berglund, a 6-foot-1 safety, had 91 tackles, including 60 solos, and two interceptions last season for the Greyhounds, who open the season Aug. 19 against visiting Louisville Trinity.

MEET WINSTON BERGLUND

Favorite athlete: Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey Favorite type of music: Country and rap.

Favorite subject: History Hobbies: Hanging out with friends, watching UFC and college football “He is very athletic, explosive and has great ball skills,” Greyhounds coach John Hebert said. “He used to be an outfielder in baseball, so he can really gauge the ball in the air. Winston attacks blockers with his hands very well and with a powerful punch.

I would also rank him as one of the best tacklers we’ve had here in my 27 years.”

Hebert said Berglund grew into a team leader as his junior year progressed.

“He has always been a very strong competitor who gives everything he has to the

team, but I noticed him frequently picking people up and bringing his teammates together,” Hebert said. “They view him as one of the most important leaders on the team.

I am leaning on Winston and classmates to shape this team using all of the lessons they’ve learned over the past four years.

They want to win a state championship, but I know they value impacting the younger players equally.”

Berglund said he expects to be a more complete player this season.

“Last year, I really didn’t know any techniques,” he said. “I was playing on my athleticism.”

Berglund said he gave up baseball before his junior year.

“I just knew that I loved football more and that was where my passion was,” he said.

Berglund plans to study business at Purdue but isn’t sure what aspect.

“I know I want to get involved in that area, because I have always been good at making up ideas that will sell and what people want,” he said. “I chose Purdue for the endless opportunities it has on and off the field.”

In December 2004, Rebecca Stevens’ life changed when her beloved dog, Maggie, suffered a slipped disc NONPROFIT that severed her spinal cord and left her with paraplegia.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County had previously approached Stevens regarding employment, but it wasn’t until that night she knew she would quit her corporate job and join the nonprofit, since she could take Maggie to work and give her necessary care and attention.

Stevens said while Maggie’s accident led to her joining HSHC, it also set the tone for the organization’s mission to provide animals with a chance at life, regardless of disability, breed, age, or medical issues.

“Our philosophy is driven by the original no-kill mantra, which is that every animal gets a chance, regardless of whether they’re disabled, old, broken, not pretty, whatever special medical needs they have, it doesn’t matter,” said Stevens, HSHC president/CEO. “Every animal gets a chance. If there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, then we will get them there.”

The Humane Society for Hamilton County is an open-admission, no-kill facility that functions as animal control and a shelter for Hamilton County animals as well as transferred animals from across the U.S. Last year, the organization took in approximately 1,000 animals at risk for euthanasia from other shelters, primarily those who had special needs, advanced age, bonded pairs, bully-breed dogs or had medical emergencies. HSHC has a placement rate that tops 98 percent.

“We’re one of the very few open-admission shelters in the country that is no-kill, in the way we’re no-kill, and achieving a 98 percent-plus placement rate,” Stevens said.

HSHC receives approximately 20 percent of its funding from the county, which is used to cover basic shelter, food and care for seven days for all strays. The remainder

Through approximately 60 employees and 400 active volunteers, HSHC houses and looks after 500 to 600 animals in the shelter.

HSHC’s most urgent needs include more foster homes, Woofstock participation signups and a veterinarian medical director to enhance medical services. Additionally, Stevens strongly encourages families to adopt from shelters.

“In this building right now is your Maggie.

Imagine, that could be such a life-changing moment for them and for you,” Stevens said.

Westfield vet launches service-disabled, veteran-owned small business in the environmental consulting sector

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis-based Nexus Impact Center is an avenue for businesses to operate in a coworking space. However, the center requires business tenants to have a social impact element to their business. For Westfield’s Sam Glanders, his business’ social impact is environmental consulting, environmental construction and environmental remediation.

Glanders has another mission, though.

Through his business, SAGE, he wants to help veterans transition to working in the civilian world.

Glanders retired from active duty in the U.S. Army in 2018 and started working in business development for an environmental firm. He recognized there was a large gap in the federal workforce for service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses, specifically in the environmental consulting sector.

“So, I said, ‘Hey, if I start my own shop, would you guys want to partner up and go and chase some federal work?’ And they were all in,” Glanders said.

Glanders, 34, incorporated his business a week before the March 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns began.

“Which is probably the best time to start a business,” he said, laughing.

Glanders said SAGE’s main focus is environmental work on the federal side. Some of his main clients are the U.S Dept. of Veterans Affairs, mostly in Indiana, and the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“It’s kind of interesting we haven’t done a ton of work locally,” Glanders said. “But that’s the nature of the beast when chasing government contracts.”

Locally, Glanders said he wants to enter contracts with the Indiana Dept. of Transportation or contracts for city work in Indiana. SAGE only works in the commercial area.

SAGE’s role changes depending on the client. For example, for the VA, Glanders said SAGE does asbestos abatement oversight.

“We work with abatement contractors, and we basically do the managing of the project and oversight for that,” he said.

Glanders still serves in the U.S. Army Reserves. A master sergeant, he recently

recently released inmates entering the workforce, among other causes.

“All those things are dual purpose,” Lee said. “So, yes, it’s a revenue model and everything (at the impact center) is priced under market to help businesses launch, grow and scale and move out of Nexus. You have to be a nonprofit or a for-profit embedding impact into your model.”

returned from a six-month deployment to Niger.

Glanders said he plans to stay in Indianapolis so SAGE can have a “strong foothold” in the Midwest. He said there are plenty of government contracts in the Great Lakes Region and parts of Kentucky and Illinois.

“We are really trying to expand that way,” he said.

Glanders said Nexus Impact Center has been “phenomenal” helping him get started.

“One of the things we are really appreciative of is when we were looking for (space) the first year we got incorporated, it was COVID,” Glanders said. “So, everyone was working from home. We reached out to them and (Executive Director) Robin (Lee) brought us in a nice, easy transition from working from home to over there.”

At Nexus Impact Center, Glanders was able to speak with other companies about navigating business ownership during the pandemic.

“It is not an easy feat, so having the support network there has been a huge help for us,” he said.

Sam Glanders recently returned from a sixmonth deployment in Niger.

Businesses in the Nexus Impact Center must have a social impact element to the way they do business. Lee said businesses run the gamut. For example, one works with the opioid epidemic, one helps veterans coming into the workforce and one helps

As an Army veteran, Sam Glanders knows what it’s like to transition from active-duty military to the civilian world. He wants to make that transition easier for veterans.

“One of the things we really focus on is, how can we help the veteran community better?” said Glanders, who owns SAGE, an environmental consulting firm. “I was active duty for 10 years. How do I transition with these skills I’ve been doing for this long and then where is that sector?”

Without a college degree, Glanders wasn’t sure where he fit in the workforce.

“One of the things we are working on is how to transition military skills into a civilian resume,” he said. “You can’t just sit there and say, ‘Well, I was an infantry guy’ on your resume and that translates into any type of skills that the civilian world would sit there and say this (person) is attractive. But you weren’t just an infantry guy. You were in charge of X number of equipment. How many times did you have to do logistics to get that from Point A to Point B? As far as leadership, how many people were you in charge of? Try to verbalize those experiences into a manner a civilian can understand.”

Importance of meeting Ernst

Commentary by Terry Anker

How many words does it take? The air is filled with noise. All around us, people are talking. Billboards shout down at us.

Podcasts, televisions, computer screens — each in their own time are demanding our attention. Hundreds of words.

Thousands of words. Millions of words.

We are awash in communication. We cannot excuse ourselves from the excess. It is estimated that we contribute some 30,000 words of our own every week (about 850 million in an average lifetime). To be sure, there is some variability. There are those of us who are sparing with what we say. Then, there are others among us who might dispose of two hours sharing an event that took 10 minutes.

Whatever the style of the speaker, the goal is the same — to communicate. So, it begs the questions: How many words are required? How many are too few or too many? As is popular on the walls of many of our homes, single words appear. They express concepts like eat, family, or love. One could assume that “eat” suggests a place in the domicile where such an activity might occur.

But for “love,” is a single word enough?

What about “love you”? Does it say something different than “I love you”? Is the complete thought communicated?

Saying “I love you because you pay me to do so” is very different from saying “I love you because you bring out the best in me.” Still, if our sonnet becomes epic and drags on for hours, does the simple and elegant point get lost for lack of a dedicated editor? Does the word count seem to count?

Effective statements require more than the right words — they might also require the right number of words. What do we hide behind our verbosity, and the same with unnecessary brevity?

Friends, there are good people in this world. Case in point -- Ernst Brionne. He’s a Delta Airlines agent in New York who single-handedly salvaged an overseas trip for me and my youngest.

Enjoy.

Our adventure began easily enough.

We flew from Indy to JFK, no problem, and then boarded our overnight flight.

Unfortunately, a series of delays, including a broken seat, a malfunctioning navigation system, and then noxious fumes from a burning air-conditioning unit, led to three hours on the tarmac and the eventual rescheduling for the following afternoon. Not ideal, but we rolled with it and used the next morning to explore Queens and the aptly named Flushing Meadows Park.

But as we were packing to go back to the airport, my daughter couldn’t locate her passport, and neither could I. Panic and tears ensued as we quickly realized it had probably been left on the original plane. This was at noon; our international flight left at 4 p.m.

Once at JFK, we were told multiple times, “There’s nothing we can do.” Until we met Ernst. He immediately offered to personally locate and search the old plane. For 90 excruciatingly long minutes, we waited for Ernst. Other travelers came and went, a toddler threw up on my shoe, and we reconciled the fact that we’d most likely be heading home.

When Ernst eventually returned, shaking his head in a “no luck” manner, we were crushed.

But Ernst is a jokester. He’d found it!

Here was a man who’d abandoned his post and walked more than 2 miles for absolute strangers to help in a moment of crisis.

There are good people in this world.

Peace out.

DISPATCHES Dangers of juicing — Making your own juice from fresh fruits and veggies can be a healthy choice for many people. There is a risk, however, of getting an overdose of sugar. Removing the juice (and sugar) from the fiber of the fruit makes the sugar content more concentrated. A good rule of thumb is to use a rotating variety of greens as the base of your juice with only one serving of fruit. This will keep the sugar content much lower.

Westfield owner seeks to grow online hair care business

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Angela Constable’s goal is to continue to spread the word about her online business of hair care ENTREPRENUER products.

The Westfield resident, who recently received her minority women’s small business certificate, started Majesty Hair Care in 2009. Her first product was the Majesty Radiant Shine Therapy spray.

“I work with a chemist. I tell him what I want my products to do,” Constable said. “I use the products and then we tweak it and send it back and say we need to do this and this, so we collaborate together to create Majesty Hair Care products. What is significant to my line of products is noni berry abstract, which is my key ingredient. It’s a powerful preservative, so it helps the hair and skin in many different ways, but especially with the abuse we do to our hair.”

Constable, who has a private salon in Indianapolis, said the business decided to expand the line in recent years, developing more products in 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown in 2020, Constable said she had more time to work on her online business.

Her other three products are a moisturizing shampoo, a moisturizing conditioner and a noni miracle mist.

“The products are mainly for hydration, moisturizing and they are for many different hair types, whether it’s natural hair, curly or straight hair,” Constable said. “Men

and women can use the products.”

All her social media platforms are labeled as Majesty Hair Care. Her daughter, Keyera Constable, a Fishers resident, manages the social media and marketing content for Majesty Hair Care. Keyera’s video and social media company is called K.E.Y.E Creatives.

Fishers-based Swallow Consulting Services provides business advice.

Constable said during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she began offering free personalized consultations virtually for people who could not meet in person.

“That helps me spread the understanding about hair care and I do a monthly newsletter for hair consultation,” she said.

Constable plans to offer discounted specials on her products during Black Business Month in August.

Indy soprano star’s appearance in ‘Tosca’ highlights Indy Opera season schedule

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey didn’t take long to pinpoint what he most looks forward to MUSIC about the organization’s 202223 schedule.

“The highlight will be Angela Brown singing her first ‘Tosca’ in her hometown,” Starkey said. “She has sung Aida and Porgy and Bess, but never ‘Tosca.’ While this will not be her last, it will be her only ‘Tosca’ for Indy and yet she brings her worldclass experience to the opera stage as one of the best modern-day Toscas ever. She will feature the famous aria in the ‘Opera In the Park’ concert.”

The fifth annual “Opera in the Park” opens the 48th season schedule at 7 p.m.

Sept. 10 at McAllister Amphitheater at Garfield Park in Indianapolis.

Giacomo Puccini’s “Tosca” featuring Brown, an Indianapolis-born soprano, is set for Nov. 11-13 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Brown, Indianapolis Opera’s artistic and education ambassador, has performed the title of Floria Tosca several times in other cities, but this will be her first time performing the entire opera in the Indianapolis area.

“I love the music drama,” Brown said of the opera, which is set during the French Revolution. “She goes through so many emotions throughout the whole evening from being jealous to being in love to being upset and angry and then being so upset she kills somebody and then she jumps and kills herself.”

Brown said she remembers seeing Tim Noble perform in an Indianapolis Opera production of “Tosca” when she was a student at Indiana University.

“I always said I would love to do ‘Tosca’ with Tim Noble,” Brown said. “I got a chance to sing a scene with him, but he’s not singing anymore. But at least I got a chance to do it (in Indianapolis).”

At “Opera in the Park,” Brown will be

joined by pianist Joshua A. Thompson, saxophonist Jared Thompson and baritone Daniel Narducci along with the Indianapolis Opera’s resident artists and chorus.

“You always get a little bit of everything,” Brown said. “It’s something for everyone to enjoy. You have musical theater. Jared brings the jazz because he has Premium Blend and Joshua is a classical pianist in his own right. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Brown was scheduled to perform as “Aida” in Portland Aug. 7. Before “Tosca,” she will perform in “Charlie Parker’s Yardbird” at the Dayton Opera Oct. 7-9.

The Indianapolis Opera schedule con-

tinues with two performances in 2023.

The Contemporary Workshop Series will feature “Gallantry & More” at 4 p.m. March 25-26 at the Basile Opera Center in Indianapolis. “Gallantry” is a one-act comedic opera. In addition, there will be a world premiere of a new operatic work.

Wolfgang Mozart’s classic “The Magic Flute” is set for May 5-7 at The Toby at Newfields in Indianapolis. The opera features some of Mozart’s most recognizable melodies. It follows the journey of Prince Tamino as he tries to rescue his true love Pamina from the wrath of dark sorcerer Sarastro.

For more, visit indyopera.org.

With series subscriptions still available for the 2022-23 Center Presents Season at the Center for the Performing Arts, tickets for individual 2022 performances went on sale Aug. 5 to the general public.

Presented in partnership with Allied Solutions, the season features more than 50 events, with more to be added. The first half kicks off in September with artists including blues guitarist Jimmie Vaughn, New Orleans R&B icon Trombone Shorty, comedian Lewis Black and violin virtuoso Joshua Bell and singer Johnny Mathis. It winds up in December with holiday performances by Dave Koz, Marie Osmond, Michael Bolton, Celtic Woman and other artists.

ICC receives $30K grant editorial@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Arts Commission recently announced it has awarded $31,002 to the Indianapolis Children’s Choir MUSIC through the Arts Organization Support grant program.

During its June 10 quarterly business meeting, the commission approved funding recommendations for the Arts Project Support and Arts Organization Support grant programs. More than 460 applications were reviewed by 85 Hoosiers from around the state specializing in arts, community development and finance.

“The projects and organizations that are receiving funding are improving the economic and educational climates of the state of Indiana,” stated Alberta Barker, chair of the Indiana Arts Commission. “The commission is delighted to support this investment in Hoosier communities. It is a privilege to uplift the impressive creative work being done around the state.”

The ICC will use the funding to continue its mission to provide high-quality music education experiences to children in central Indiana. With programs across Indianapolis,

in surrounding counties and in Anderson and Columbus, the ICC’s programming annually reaches more than 2,500 young people.

“Thanks to funding like this grant from IAC, we can continue to bring the ICC experience to more and more children throughout the community,” stated Carmel resident Joshua Pedde, ICC artistic director. “It’s about so much more than just singing.

When these kids come together to form a choir, they make lasting friendships, learn about leadership, grow to appreciate cultural differences and gain other lifelong skills.”

Miah Michaelsen, executive director of the Indiana Arts Commission, said art and creativity strengthen the fabric of Indiana’s communities.

“They promote connection and cohesion, foster the entrepreneurial spirit communities need to thrive and create the kinds of communities where people want to live,” Michaelsen stated. “In each of Indiana’s 92 counties, public funding for arts and creativity continually proves to be a high-return investment that improves the quality of life of every Hoosier and drives economic development within our state.”

Henthorn gets festival spotlight

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This was one offer Doug Henthorn couldn’t refuse.

Henthorn said he was exCONCERT cited to receive an invitation to perform Sept. 3-4 in the two-day All IN Music and Arts Festival at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Henthorn and his band will be one of several acts performing Sept. 3. The exact time and fairgrounds site hasn’t been determined. The headliners for Sept. 3 are Daryl Hall and John Oates and Portugal. The Man. Henthorn, a 55-year-old Westfield resident, said he expects his set will be approximately 60 to 75 minutes. He plans to perform songs from his new record, songs from his other two albums and songs from when he was a member of Healing Sixes.

“There will be a handful of choice cover songs,” he said.

The new album, “Three,” includes seven new songs and three cover songs — The Beatles’ “Across the Universe,” the Eagles’ “Wasted Time” and The Cars’ “Drive.”

After Henthorn released his first solo

album, “Cold Medicine,” in 2016, he had some health issues.

After being diagnosed with parotid (saliva) gland cancer, he had surgery and 33 rounds of radiation.

“That kind of thing will rattle you,” Henthorn said. “Then a year later I had a false positive after a colonoscopy that said I had colon cancer, but the biopsy came back negative. But for a month I was in limbo, so it was a horrible time.”

Henthorn said he wrote most of the songs on “Three” during that time.

THE BLUEPRINT • A covered deck made from Ipe, a Brazilian hardwood that naturally repels insects and resists decay, replaced a gravel patio. Retractable screens hidden in the deck’s columns provide protection from the elements at the press of a button.

• The upper deck was reconfigured with clean lines for a modern appeal. Trex composite decking and a water mitigation system ensure durability with minimal maintenance.

• A pool house and Smart Pergola with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace were added to increase entertaining space. The Smart Pergola is equipped with louvres that can be angled to direct the breeze or closed to deflect rain for all-season outdoor enjoyment.

• The stonework around the pool was replaced with a sand matrix concrete that stays cool in the sun, is nonslip and comfortable underfoot.

• The brickwork on the façade was repaired and painted.

Some more semordnilaps Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Virginia Memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting Gettysburg National Military Park Commentary by Don Knebel Continuing our road trip, today we visit Gettysburg, the site of the turning point of the American Civil War. TRAVEL

By June 1863, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, led by General Robert E. Lee, had achieved significant victories against Union forces in the South. To take the fight to the North, Lee ordered his troops into Pennsylvania.

President Lincoln responded by ordering the Union Army of the Potomac to stay between the Confederate ranks and Washington, D.C. On the morning of July 1, 1863, a contingent of soldiers from each army unexpectedly converged on Gettysburg, a college town in southern Pennsylvania. After shooting broke out, commanders on both sides ordered their forces into and around Gettysburg, where massive battles ensued. The fighting ended with Lee’s retreat on July 4. The day before, an open-field assault by 12,500 Confederate soldiers against Union forces assembled atop Cemetery Ridge (“Pickett’s Charge”) had failed, with disastrous casualties. By then, 93,921 Union soldiers and 71,699 Confederate soldiers had engaged in the battles, with almost a third of them killed, wounded, captured or missing.

In 1895, Congress established Gettysburg National Military Park. Today, the park contains almost 5,000 acres. Forty miles of scenic roads lead to famous battle sites, such as Little Round Top and Seminary Ridge.

Hundreds of cannons mark artillery positions during the battles. The park includes restored buildings that figured into the fighting. Hundreds of monuments and me-

morials honor groups of Gettysburg combatants near the places where they fought. The most impressive monument is the Eternal Light Peace Memorial, dedicated at a ceremony in 1938 on the 75th anniversary of the battle that was attended by 1,845 veterans from both sides, averaging 94 years of age.

The Visitor Center orients guests to various battle locations and features a cyclorama (more about that and the Gettysburg Address coming soon).

We all know examples of palindromes: taco cat, racecar, kayak, Hannah. A palindrome is a word that, when spelled backward, is the same GRAMMAR GUY word. Today, however, I want to delve into the bizarro world of the semordnilap.

Get your word nerd glasses on and push them up the bridge of your nose, because it’s about to get all kinds of nerdy.

While palindromes have this beautiful letter symmetry to them, a semordnilap is actually the word “palindromes” spelled backward. That’s because a semordnilap is a word that, when spelled backward, becomes a different word altogether.

As far as we know, the term “semordnilap” comes from C.C. Bombaugh’s 1961 book “Oddities and Curiosities of Words and Literature.” There goes the title of my next book! Darn you, Bombaugh! In fact, Martin Gardner, the editor of the book, uses the word “semordnilap” in one of his notes to refer to a word spelled backward that forms a different word.

By definition, the word “semordnilap” is itself a semordnilap, as it is the word “palindromes” spelled backward. I told you this was going to be nerdy!

Here are a few examples of semordnilaps that form real words. Our baby is 3 months old, so we’re back in the world of diapers. The word “diaper” is a semordnilap, as spelling it backward yields “repaid.” When I’m “stressed,” I eat “desserts.” See what I did there?

Just for fun, try to find the semordnilaps in the following sentences: No one knew what to call the gateman, as he wore no nametag.

Do cats swap paws?

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that American Bank of Missouri, Wellsville, Missouri, intends to apply to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Missouri Division of Finance for consent to establish a full-service branch at 14611 N. Gray Road, Westfield, Indiana.

Any person wishing to comment on this application may file his or her comments in writing with the regional director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at the appropriate FDIC office, 1100 Walnut, Suite 2100, Kansas City, Missouri 64106, not later than August 25, 2022. The nonconfidential portions of the application are on file at the appropriate FDIC office and are available for public inspection during regular business hours. Photocopies of the nonconfidential portion of the application file will be made available upon request.

Timothy C. Nash, President

Former Pacer Reggie Miller gave a recap of the basketball game.

I’ve found some notable semordnilaps whose words were coined by reversing real names or words. The most recognizable example belongs to Oprah, whose “Harpo” Studios is a production company that spells “Oprah” backward. For the Disney fans out there: Did you know that the name of the sorcerer in “Fantasia” is named Yensid? The name was derived by reversing the letters of “Disney.” Now, that’s some word wizardry!

There’s a salon down the road from my house called “Nevaeh” Salon, which is “heaven” spelled backward. According to the baby-name website nameberry.com, Nevaeh was in the top 100 most popular girl names in 2020. Semordnilaps are really catching on!

As a lover of lexicon, I don’t mind staring at words until my head spins, and that’s one of the reasons I enjoy playing with semordnilaps. Now I think I’ll kick back and enjoy a regal lager.
