The new junior high is one part of Traders Points’ initiative to expand opportunities for student achievement called the Scholar Project. The plan includes expansion of facilities and implementation of aligned pre-K through 12th-grade curriculums and a multiyear rollout of the Schools Within a School model — large public schools that have been divided into smaller autonomous units.

Traders Point has implemented curriculum from Project Lead the Way in grades pre-K through 12 to help achieve its Scholar Project goals. The curriculum emphasizes computer science, engineering and biomedical science to engage and support teachers through training, resources and support.

“We are preparing students for jobs that don’t exist yet. How do you do that? It’s these soft skills that will be imperative, no matter their career path,” Traders Point Head of School Paul Williams stated. “Uniting the Upper School and allowing more efficient and effective use of our facilities, equipment, and faculty is critical to offering our students and families the very best while striving to uphold our credo: Training scholars. Making disciples. Graduating leaders.”

WHAT YOU DESERVE TO KNOW ABOUT HOOK I decided to run for US Representative of Indiana’s 5th district because of concerns for the fiscal and environmental problems we are leaving future generations.

Because I voted Republican in the mayoral race, given there were no Democrats on the ballot, the rules dictate I run as a Republican, or get signoff from the Democratic county chairman. Although I am happy to run as a Republican, voters deserve to know I have always been independent and will continue to be if elected. Like Matthew Hook was formerly a CPA, Attorney and Senior many reading this, I don’t fit squarely within Partner in a Private Equity either party and believe many of us have a firm prior to retiring in 2017. lot more in common than party labels may suggest. Therefore, I am gladly abiding by the rules legislated by the two party system and the primary process paid for by us as taxpayers in the hopes of addressing significant issues facing future generations that no one is talking about.

Interestingly, the Constitution does not mention political parties yet George Washington is the only President who did not represent one. In Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796, he feared the parties, which began forming during his presidency, would lead to a “spirit of revenge” and ultimately be used to further their own power; instead of for the good of the people. I fear we have moved past a generation exemplified by George H. W. Bush who was willing to sacrifice for the good of the country and demonstrated the courage to work across party lines to address deficits and acid rain even though he knew he would pay a political price. It may be hard to remember but his tax increases along with those of the Clinton administration ultimately led to budget surpluses in excess of $300 billion and a strong economy.

If you need a label on a candidate, I am probably not the right one for you. However, before choosing a candidate, please ask what specifically the candidate plans to do about the $1,000,000,000,000 annual deficits, insolvency facing Medicare and Social Security and the devastation caused by climate change. Addressing these issues will not be without some reasonable sacrifice, as previous generations have sacrificed for us, but we owe it to our children and our children’s children.

If you think I might be a candidate you want to support, please visit www.votethefuturenow.com and if inclined an online DONATION would be greatly appreciated as I am NOT TAKING DONATIONS FROM SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. Thanks for your consideration.

Chicago cheeseburger was the GOAT Commentary by Ward Degler I was disappointed in a cheeseburger I got the other day. It wasn’t bad; it was just PLAIN TALK blah. Probably because I had already had the world’s best cheeseburger a number of years ago, and the memory persists.

That delicacy was served up at the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago. It was a friend who took me there with the advice, “You want to order a double cheeseburger on a hard roll.” The hard roll, he explained, soaked up the grease.

It did, and it was delicious.

At that time, the Billy Goat Tavern was at 430 N. Michigan Ave. The trick was you had to descend a flight of stairs to Rush Street to get to it.

Chicago’s Loop is well known for it’s multi-level streets, and addresses aren’t always what they seem.

The Billy Goat got started in 1934 when Greek immigrant Billy Sianis bought the Lincoln Tavern with a bad check for a couple hundred bucks.

Profits from the first weekend’s business redeemed the check. Legend has it a billy goat fell off a truck in front of the tavern and wandered inside.

The goat was an immediate hit with patrons, and Sianis decided to keep it and promptly renamed the tavern after it.

The Billy Goat seemed destined from the outset to become famous.

When the Republican National Con-

vention was held in Chicago in 1944, Sianis put a sign in his window declaring, “No Republicans Allowed.”

Republicans packed the place every night.

In 1945, Sianis took his pet goat to Wrigley Field, where he had box seats for Game 4 of the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers. Apparently, the goat’s smell offended fans, and Phil Wrigley himself ordered Sianis and his goat to leave. The Tigers won the series, and Sianis put a curse on the Cubs, predicting they would never win another World Series.

The Billy Goat was located near the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago SunTimes and became a favorite hangout for reporters from both papers. Columnist Mike Royko, among others, wrote articles about the place. My friend told me they had to get a translator for Sianis because he couldn’t read English.

My friend also told me that an hour after eating a Billy Goat cheeseburger, I would have a sudden craving for a restroom and an ice cream cone. He was right.

Sianis died in 1970, and the Cubs won the World Series in 2016.

Brad Stevens selected to Silver Anniversary Team

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame recently selected Boston Celtics head coach and ZionsHALL OF FAME ville graduate Brad Stevens to its 2020 Men’s Silver Anniversary Team.

Shaun Busick, Zionsville Community High School’s boys varsity basketball coach, said Stevens was an excellent high school player, despite being primarily known today as a successful college and NBA coach. Busick, who did not coach Stevens at ZCHS, has met Stevens and corresponded with him throughout the 14 years Busick has coached Zionsville. And he has regularly spoken with people who knew Stevens during his playing days at ZCHS. “Brad did some really good stuff at Zionsville, but if you talk to folks who know Brad, they’re more impressed with the type of person he (is),” Busick said. “And I think the same thing is still true with his coaching. He’s obviously a very successful coach and has done a great job at both the college level and the NBA level, but he’s a much better person, and I think that’s what he’d rather be known for — being a good, positive role model.”

Stevens is in his seventh season as the Celtics’ head coach. He has led Boston to two Eastern Conference Finals appearances and and was head coach of the 2017 East All-Star team.

He lives in Wellesley, Mass.

“He’s an intelligent coach,” Busick said. “He’s not berating (players), he’s coaching them. He’s a relational coach.”

In high school, Stevens was an AP Honorable Mention All-State selection and was named to several other allstate teams. He also earned Academic All-State honors and was a sectional MVP and All-Conference selection while at Zionsville.

Stevens averaged 26.8 points per game for the 13-11 sectional champions his senior season and led the

state in 1995 in sectional scoring, averaging 32.3 points in leading the Eagles to their first sectional title in nine years.

In high school, Stevens, a threetime All-Conference pick, set Zionsville career records in points (1,508), assists (491), steals (157) and three-point field goals made (138), some of which have since been surpassed. Isaiah Thompson, who plays for Purdue University, now holds Zionsville’s career scoring record with 2,139 points and the three-point field goal record with 274 made shots.

Stevens played in all 103 games of his four-year career at DePauw University, totaling 791 points and earning the Coaches Award as a senior.

He also was a three-time Academic All-American nominee.

As head coach at Butler University from 2007-2013, he led the Bulldogs to a 166-49 record, five NCAA Tournament appearances and four Horizon League championships. His crowning achievement was leading Butler to back-toback national runner-up finishes in the 2010 and 2011 NCAA Tournaments.

He was named the 2011 NCAA Coach of the Year.

LEARNING TO BE RESILIENT

Dr. Jody Horstman, a licensed clinical psychologist and addictions counselor, speaks at the Jan. 28 Boone County Chamber of Commerce’s Women Inspiring Women event.

“We live in a society that tells us stress is a bad thing,” Hortsman said. The irony, she said, is that “it’s only through those experiences that we grow. This is how we get our strength, our wisdom, and we learn that we’re capable.” Horstman said a person can learn resilience in the midst of stress at any age, and that a person’s thinking pattern is the most likely obstacle in the way of learning resilience.

Salty Cowboy joins effort to save Australian wildlife

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Employees at Salty Cowboy, a local tequileria, were devastated by the images they saw COVER STORY of the Australian bushfires that have ravaged the nation’s wildlife and natural habitats and were determined to help.

The tequileria recently announced it will donate all proceeds from each Australian Wild Berry margarita sold through the end of this month. In January, Salty Cowboy, 55 E. Oak St., Zionsville, began a promotion that sent $1 of each sale of the same margarita to the Australian wildlife rescue organizations Adelaide & Hills Koala Rescue and WIRES Wildlife Rescue.

Salty Cowboy re-upped its commitment in late January by donating all proceeds of each Australian Wild Berry margarita sold this month to the rescue agencies.

Australia has bushfires each year, but the 2019-20 season brought unprecedented devastation, according to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. Bushfires started in June 2019 in some areas and continue to ravage the countryside during what is now Australia’s summer.

The bushfires have burned away large swaths of animal habitats, generating international media coverage and rescue efforts. Professor Chris Dickman, from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Science, has estimated the bushfires have led to the deaths of more than 1 billion animals in Australia this year.

Because of the severity of the disaster, experts have said some species may have been effectively driven to extinction.

Salty Cowboy General Manager Jason Hughes came up with the idea of

donating to the recovery efforts.

“We love animals at Salty. The owner, Shari (Jenkins), and myself have a huge soft spot for animals,” Hughes said. “And I’m not going to lie, I love my Instagram and social media and Facebook and whatnot, and just seeing those photos was devastating. I felt helpless, like there was nothing I could do. After talking, we decided we had to do something.

“We obviously couldn’t hop on a flight to Australia anytime soon, but the best option we had was to give back in a way of a margarita, so we figured, ‘What better way (than) to donate some of the proceeds to some of the animals that are suffering down in Australia?’ This is us doing our part.”

The tequileria already donates a dollar from each Dog-Gone-Good

Margarita sold to IndyHumane in Indianapolis, which finds owners for homeless and abused cats, dogs and other animals.

“I think with the fire tragedy going on, it’s kind of a no-brainer,” Salty Cowboy Manager Calvin Reynolds said about the decision to donate proceeds to relief efforts. “We posted on our Facebook and Instagram, and we’ve had nothing but positive feedback about it.”

But as relief efforts continue and the death tolls climb for animals and humans (media reports list the human death toll at 34 as of press time), Hughes said he fears the public’s attention to the Australia bushfires will wane.

“Obviously, the fires will subside at some point, but I think people tend to read something online and it tends to

be like 15-minutes-of-fame news and then (people) just move on,” Hughes said. “I think (the promotion) is one way to keep it on people’s minds. Although the fires will end, the animals will need (help).”

HELPING LOCAL ANIMALS Sheri Jenkins, owner of The Salty Cowboy, has five rescue animals. She grew up on a farm, and her family owned multiple rescue animals.

Her affinity for animals, particularly rescues, led her to the decision to dontate a portion of margarita sales to IndyHumane in Indianapolis.

“There are so many dogs and other animals that are in Humane Societies and in foster homes that need a loving home,” Jenkins said.

“I believe in adopting and not paying for a breeder.”

LETTER

Adult supervision

Braun response distresses

Commentary by Terry Anker

Some years ago, the conversation went something like, “Since we misbehaved as adolescents, we don’t feel like we can put any constraints around our own kids. We don’t have the right to criticize their bad choices because we made our own.” On its face, it made sense. No good and decent person decides to be an intentional hypocrite. If we hope to be respected, shouldn’t we endlessly strive toward internal consistency?

So, the story goes on, the children of these good and moral parents lived a life unconstrained by phony indignation but filled with needless peril. “We smoked pot, so we cannot tell you not to do it.

We drank underage, so we cannot tell you not to do it. And, look, life turned out OK for us.” Maybe. But if we ate poison berries and somehow managed to survive, don’t we have an obligation to give the next generation a heads-up? Or do our rose-colored glasses and misplaced affection for our progeny prevent us from being the adult in the room?

Even if we managed to survive the peccadillos of our own youth, aren’t we obligated to pass on that accumulated knowledge to those who follow? Driving drunk, smoking cigarettes, Communist rule and careless sexual behavior — should we warn the youngsters or let them figure it all out for themselves? Are we too busy making new mistakes to learn from our past ones?

A curmudgeon’s night out Commentary by Danielle Wilson My family loves to razz me because outside of work, I have no life. I have no friends, hate to HUMOR socialize and, if left to my own devices, would probably become an agoraphobe hermit. Those are exaggerations, of course, but they’re not far from the mark.

Besides being an introvert with a sprinkling of social anxiety, I’m also a morning person who values sleep above all else. To that end, I never drink alcohol after 4 p.m. and schedule evening activities so that I’m home by 9 p.m. If you throw a 90-minute Bloody Mary brunch with people I already know, well, I’m your girl. Otherwise, fughetaboutit.

I bring this up because last week, not only did I partake of a half-glass of cabernet while making dinner, I physically left the dark and safe comforts of my house not once, but twice, to engage with the world. My teenagers are terrified: “What’s wrong with Mom? Is she having a midlife crisis?

Holy Mary, is this menopause?”

Please. I just really wanted some wine with my chicken and, by a fluke of scheduling, was invited to a couple of get-togethers with close colleagues on back-to-back Saturdays. I know. How radical of me. But non-night owl introverts can have fun with other humans; we simply need fair warning, an early end time and an emotionally safe environment. My husband and kids seriously need to chill.

Not that I’ll ever admit to enjoying socializing or to having friends. I like being known for my senior citizen/ vampire tendencies. It’s my shtick.

But I wouldn’t mind a break from the teasing. They all need to get a life.

Jeez.

Peace out.

Editor, I wrote to Sen. (Mike) Braun last week, asking him to be an impartial juror and commit to ensuring a fair impeachment trial. His response appalled me: “... Career politicians, distressed

by President Trump’s election in 2016, have sought from the day after the election to undermine his ability to effect change. Instead of working on issues that the American people care about, ... the Democrats have instead decided to continue harassing the Trump Administration with flimsy and unsubstantiated claims.

I was elected by the people of Indiana to support President Trump in his efforts to change business as usual in Washington, D.C. That is what I intend to continue to do as your United States Senator.”

No, senator, you were elected to defend our Constitution. The evidence is far from unsubstantiated.

The accusations demand a trial with documents and witnesses.

Taking a pass on words Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife’s first New Year’s resolution was to take a class at our library about technology safety, HUMOR like how to create hardto-hack passwords.

When she got home, just for practice, she changed the code on the garage door touchpad, and then she went shopping. I wrote this column on my cellphone, sitting in the car in front of our house. I hoped she wrote the new code down. I was freezing.

Computer scammers gather family names, addresses, pets and past jobs, and then do millions of test-run combinations in microseconds. I was shocked to learn that dickwolfsiewishtv would be easy to crack. One tech website verified hackers could figure out that password in 11 seconds. If I worked for WTHR, it would take 14 seconds. I’m not sure it’s worth the move.

“Do you have any upgraded security codes, Mary Ellen?”

“Yes. For our savings account, I used the first letter of every boyfriend I ever dated, plus the address number of every house we’ve lived in. I increased each digit by ‘one’ so that 1450 becomes 2561. I capitalized every other letter and then sprinkled these symbols throughout: %^&**#@.”

I thought the profanity was unnecessary, but according to that same website, it would take even the most crooked computer geek 11,000 years to uncover that code to gain access to our account. With our savings, we’ll go broke long before then, anyway.

“Mary Ellen, how will you possibly remember a password like that?”

“I won’t remember it. I’ll write it down.”

“If you have to look it up every time, anyway, why not just pick totally random numbers and characters?

Why make it so complicated?”

“What a password pooper. You would not do well in my class.”

“OK, Mary Ellen, our new passwords can’t be guessed. Where are you going to hide this written list?”

“I don’t know. I think that’s the next class. And why would I tell you? You can’t keep a secret.”

“You’re right. A couple of martinis and I’ll be spouting off Kh^TbL1356R^7867%^&*#@ to every crook who will listen. By the way, your password is safe with me because even if I wanted to blab it out, I don’t know what this ^ is called.”

Yesterday, Mary Ellen went back to the library. Her instructor said it’s safer to change passwords from a remote location than on your home computer. The phone rang: “Dick, it’s me. I need our current bank account password.”

“I’m not going to tell you over the phone. Someone could be listening in on our conversation.”

“Lighten up, Dick. It’s not healthy to be that paranoid.”

Zionsville Chamber rolls out new initiatives

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Chamber of Commerce officials announced a number of new initiatives for 2020 BANQUET at its annual awards banquet Jan. 24.

The chamber’s new executive director, Allyson Gutwein, unveiled the chamber’s new logo at the annual event, which honors the contributions of chamber members, Zionsville businesses and individuals.

Gutwein said the logo design was inspired by the Great Seal of the United States, which prominently features an eagle holding arrows in its talons.

Because the town is known for the Zionsville Community High School eagle mascot, Gutwein said tapping into the eagle theme was appropriate. The new design features a “Z” logo with the ends of the letter forming triangles that resemble arrowheads.

“That’s kind of the mission statement for the new logo, being based

on the Great Seal, which is located on the back of the dollar, and every business is trying to make a dollar,” Gutwein said.

The chamber also plans to release a podcast series in the latter part of the year. The chamber will spend the first quarters of the year stockpilling content before its release. The series will feature chamber members and busi-

nesses in a problem-solving dynamic that can benefit other chamber members and local residents, Gutwein said.

“If you are a chamber member and you need to learn how to write, say, a business plan, and one of our other chamber members is at a bank and they can tell you how to write a business plan that’s really for you,” Gutwein said. “That’s what our members want to hear.”

In addition, the chamber will begin hosting a quarterly lecture series, another Gutwein initiative. The chamber already hosts a Business Breakfast series and a First Tuesday networking series, but Gutwein said she saw an opportunity to “inspire people to reach.”

“What got someone who has been very successful in business started?”

Gutwein said.

The chamber will invite speakers who give talks across the nation, Gutwein said. The first lecture will be in March, but the date has yet to be determined.

After unveiling the new logo and

initiatives at the banquet, the chamber celebrated various local businesses and residents with awards. The winners are as follows: Ambassador of the Year - John Lehner.

Community Service Award - Witham Health Services.

Dahlia Award – Zionsville Police Chief Robert Knox. The Dahlia Excellence in Service Award recognizes a deserving employee of a Zionsville business.

Town Crier Award - Erica Carpenter. The award recognizes a person who has made outstanding contributions to the town of Zionsville.

ZWORKS Business of the Year – SafeKeeping, an integrated care dashboard that shares facilities’ electronic medical records data to improve health outcomes.

Business Professional of the Year – Zionsville Community Schools Supt.

Scott Robison.

HEALTH

Avoid overuse injuries Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan If you are like many Americans, you may have made a New Year’s resolution to improve PREVENTION your health. Overuse injuries occur when we begin an exercise program that is too aggressive or when we step up the speed or duration of our current routine.

Overuse injuries include: • Tendonitis, or inflamed tendon, is commonly associated with jumping or side-to-side motions.

• Plantar fasciitis, or inflammation of the plantar fascia which runs along the sole of the foot, is caused by overuse of this tissue.

The heel pain from plantar fasciitis is usually worst in the morning when you first get out of bed.

• Stress fractures are tiny breaks in the bone that plague athletes such as distance runners and basketball players.

Some prevention methods are as follows: Do some gentle stretches before beginning your activity – but always warm up before stretching with some easy jogging in place.

• Don’t work through any pain.

• Follow the 10 percent rule. Increase your activity level, such as running distance or duration, by only 10 percent per week.

• Whenever possible, run on soft, flat surfaces.

• Mix up your routine. Alternate hard training days with easier ones.

• Choose the right footwear.

• Replace your running shoes every 500 miles.

• Women and teen girls should get enough calcium.

Acting vet Kern makes Shakespearian debut in Civic production

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com John Kern has been eager to make his Shakespeare debut.

“It was something COMEDY I wanted to do to grow and stretch as an artist,” Kern said. “I’ve seen a lot of Shakespeare in my time being in the arts community, having watched friends perform.”

So, Kern auditioned for Civic Theatre’s “Much Ado About Nothing.”

“I thought I’d get a small role and dip my toe into the Shakespearian pool, and I guess I had a good audition because they gave me one of the lead roles,” he said. “So, I’m jumping in feet first in the deep end of Shakespeare.”

Kern will play Benedick in the production, which runs from Feb. 7 to 22 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Kern said he has some similarities with the character.

“At first, he’s tricky and doesn’t want to get married. Love is that thing he keeps at a distance,” Kern said. “In my life, I can relate to that as a 42-year-old single man. I’ve kind of kept love at a distance. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tweaked the relationships in my love life, too. It’s been an interesting part to bring some of myself into the character.”

Kern said the Shakespearian dialogue is a challenge.

“It’s a lot more difficult to memorize, especially when you’ve never done it before,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed it and (am) relying on some of the people who have done it before here and some of the friends I’ve seen do Shakespeare. It’s been an experience.”

Carmel resident Jonathan Doram is making his Civic Theatre debut performance after moving from Arkansas, where he worked for Teach for America.

“I’ve never done Shakespeare before,” Doram said. “They needed a singer. I auditioned and got the role.”

Doram will play the roles of Balthazar and the Watch.

“I play the singer and military friend and I also play the Watch to keep order in the town,” Doram said.

“The show is like the Renaissance version of throwing shade, so it’s very funny, very witty.”

In contrast to Kern and Doram, Kelsey Van Voorst, a 2008 Carmel High School graduate, is a Shake-

spearian veteran who is playing Dogberry in the production. Among other shows she has done, the Carmel resident appeared in Civic’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” in 2017.

“The role of Dogberry is the comedic relief in a comedy,” Van Voorst said. “So, I get to be extra goofy.

I can use physical comedy to my advantage. I don’t have a lot of restraint on how silly I can be.”

Dogberry was written for a male actor.

“So, the juxtaposition of me being a woman playing it is very fun, too,” Van Voorst said. “The role of Dogberry is well known. It’s very fun to say I got to play Dogberry.”

Van Voorst said her character doesn’t appear until Act III, Scene II, but then plays a significant role.

“From then on, Dogberry and his compatriots drive a lot of the plot for the rest of the show,” she said.

Reserving a table at a popular restaurant on Valentine’s Day can be challenging, especially MARKET when the romantic DISTRICT holiday falls on a Friday evening as it does this year.

Instead of going through the hassle of finding a restaurant, Market District Food and Beverage Manager Rick Hopkins said the Carmel-based grocery offers solutions for couples who want to stay in.

“In the store, one of our standards is the chocolate-covered strawberries, the tuxedo strawberries, and we sell them in packs of threes or sixes,” Hopkins said. “We package a ribeye steak that is butterflied, so basically it opens up like a heart. We also have the steak and lobster packaging we do since that’s a big demand item for Valentine’s Day.” With Market District’s produce selections, Hopkins said a nice meal can be created for couples who want a private night of dining at home. Prepared meatballs are available in the chef’s case, and Hopkins stresses the

importance of side dishes.

“A lot of times (a good option is) grilled asparagus or a potato gruyere in a layered dish,” he said.

Several wine and liquor pairings are available as well.

Market Table also has a restaurant, Table by Market District, for couples who want to dine out.

“Obviously, any restaurant in town gets prepared for Valentine’s Day,” Hopkins said. “Valentine’s Day is just fun. We do a dinner-for-two experience with a shared appetizer, the choice of an entrée and a shared dessert. It’s a complete meal for two.”

Westfield resident to produce ‘Mayberry Man’ — A new movie inspired by “The Andy Griffith Show” is slated

to film for approximately two weeks in central Indiana to coincide with the 2020 “Mayberry in the Midwest” Festival taking place in Danville May 15-17. The feature-length family comedy titled “Mayberry Man” is being produced by children of actors who appeared in the original 1960s television series and is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter through this month.

The project was about halfway to its funding goal after just one week. Producer Cort Howell, son of Hoke Howell, who played hillbilly Dud Wash on the classic series, lives in Westfield and bases his production company in Carmel. His older brother, Stark Howell, is the writer/director and is based in Los Angeles. Fans can support the movie and choose from a range of rewards on Kickstarter through Feb. 29 by visiting MayberryMan.com.

winner for me was the Alla Picatta, or chicken picatta, which is pan-seared chicken scaloppini with sautéed spinach. The dish is tossed in a lemon caper butter sauce and served over angel hair pasta. The dish also can be made with veal. Top off your visit with a serving of tiramisu plated with a raspberry chocolate sauce and lady fingers that melt in your mouth ($7).

Pasto Italiano has been open for approximately one year. It is owned by husband-and-wife Kent and Patsy McNall, who have been in the restaurant business a combined 35 years. A restaurant with intimate seating and soft colors, Pasto Italiano is sure to elicit feelings of warmth upon visiting.

Politically correct grammar Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Replica of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Remembering Checkpoint Charlie Commentary by Don Knebel Most Americans above a certain age remember something about Checkpoint Charlie. ToTRAVEL day’s visitors to Berlin can encounter its famous guardhouse twice.

At the end of World War II, Berlin, located entirely in East Germany, was divided between East and West. On Aug. 13, 1961, Communist East Germany encircled West Berlin with a fence to prevent its residents from defecting. The fence soon became a 12-foot high concrete wall, patrolled by armed guards and enhanced with a series of other defenses, including beds of nails. East Germany established a number of heavily guarded checkpoints around the wall. Checkpoint Charlie, located along the Friedrichstrasse, an important street in West Berlin, was the only one providing Westerners access to East Berlin. To demonstrate that the West considered Berlin’s division temporary, an American guardhouse on the West Berlin side of Checkpoint Charlie was a small wooden shack, surrounded by sandbags. Several residents of East Berlin successfully escaped to the West at Checkpoint Charlie. In October 1961, Checkpoint Charlie was

the scene of a tense 16-hour confrontation between American and Soviet tanks after East Germany had denied access to Americans.

On Nov. 9, 1989, after the East German government had announced the easing of travel restrictions, thousands of East Berliners stormed Checkpoint Charlie, seeking to enter West Berlin. After a long standoff, guards opened the gates and people traveled freely between East and West Berlin for the first time since 1961. A few months later, the Americans dismantled their facilities at Checkpoint Charlie in an international ceremony, and the guardhouse eventually found its way to Berlin’s Allied Museum. A replica of the guardhouse and the rest of the American side of Checkpoint Charlie, at its original location along the Friedrichstrasse, is now a popular Berlin attraction, surrounded by photographs and descriptions of the important events that took place there.

Apparently, this is a big year for politics.

Many people have asked me about termiGRAMMAR GUY nology when it comes to our two predominant parties in American politics. Specifically, people have asked about the terms “Democrat” vs. “Democratic” Party.

Republicans belong to the “Republican Party,” so why don’t Democrats belong to the “Democratic Party”?

As a side note, you should always capitalize the name of a political movement.

There’s a simple answer to the question regarding “Democrat” or “Democratic” Party: Grammatically speaking, a noun can’t modify another noun. “Democrat” is a noun, while “democratic” is an adjective.

In order to modify “Party,” we need the adjective “Democratic” to be grammatically correct. “Republican”

serves as both a noun and an adjective, depending on the context.

I suppose the same could be said of the Bull Moose Party, with “Bull Moose” serving both as two nouns and a singular adjective. As another side note, the Bull Moose Party was named as such because Teddy Roosevelt, the unofficial party’s unofficial founder, referred to himself as fit as a “bull moose.”

To refer to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat Party” is at least grammatically incorrect. Based on my research, “Democrat Party” has been used by opponents as an intentionally derogatory term since the 1940s. So, at best, calling the Democratic Party the “Democrat Party” is bad grammar.
