Town officials provide updates on justice center

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com During an Oct. 28 Town Hall meeting, members of the Boone County Board of Commissioners and COUNTY NEWS other county officials shared information about a proposed multimillion-dollar justice center project, saying it needs to be financially approved by the Boone County Council in the fourth quarter of 2020 to meet its completion goal.

Boone County officials have proposed a justice center that would include an expansion of the county jail to meet needs outlined in a jail feasibility study and reports from county department heads of space constraints in their respective departments.

The project is expected to cost between $45 million and $50 million and would provide space for several county departments and offices. Designs for the project include a new probation and community corrections addition, sheriff’s administration addition, mental health housing unit addition, juve-

nile petition addition and coroner addition.

However, the majority of the Boone County Council, which must approve financing, has expressed concern that the need has not been thoroughly explored. The council created the Boone County Justice Commission and assigned a number of county officials to it to continue discussions. The commission meets once a month to assess the project until commission members make a final recommendation to the council.

Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said a bond to finance the project would likely be paid for by increasing the county’s local income tax from 1.5 percent to 1.7 percent.

Previously, the commissioners encouraged the council to approve the project by Oct. 31, 2021.

“The reason for the Oct. 31 date was that if we had gotten the tax approved by the Oct. 31 date, we would start collecting that tax on Jan. 1, 2021,” Wolfe said. “That would have allowed us to pull about $5 million to $6 million in the first year that we could have used for all the soft costs, furniture,

computers, things like that that are going to be needed for the facility. Now, because we didn’t get that done, it becomes a part of the bond, so it increases the size of the bond, and we’ll be paying interest on that stuff instead of paying cash for it.”

The commissioners say approving the project as soon as possible is important because they expect the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates as it eases stimulus measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning the project could potentially cost millions more during the life of the bond.

“There’s still an urgency,” Wolfe said. “The longer we wait, the more building costs are going to increase.”

Assuming the project is approved by the council by the fourth quarter of 2021, construction would begin in the third quarter of 2022 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, officials said during the town hall.

Wolfe hoped the information presented during the town hall, which is at livinginboonecounty.com, answered any questions the commission might still have.

Zionsville 2021 leaf schedule announced — The Town of Zionsville has announced its 2021 leaf collection schedule. This fall, the Zionsville Dept. of Public Works will provide curbside leaf collection for residents in the urban service district. Leaf collection runs through Dec. 3, weather permitting. This could be extended to mid-December if necessary and weather permits. There is no set schedule or particular day for leaf collection as the volume of leaves placed for collection cannot be controlled or predicted, and therefore the service varies each week.

The DPW asks for the following courtesies: • Rake leaves into long narrow piles along the curb.

This makes it easier and quicker to vacuum the leaves. The department cannot reach leaves more than a few feet from the edge of the street.

• The leaf vacuums can only accept leaves. Do not place sticks, pine cones, gravel or other nonleaf objects in your piles. Any damage to the leaf vacuums can delay collection.

• Park your cars off the street if possible. The large truck is difficult to maneuver.

For questions, contact DPW at 317-873-4544. For more, visit zionsville-in.gov/153/Leaf-Collection.

Brees, ex-teammates bring Stretch Zone studio to Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Former Purdue football players Ben Smith, Jason Lorezel and Drew Brees had long talked about going into NEW BIZ business together. There was just one problem: Brees was a little busy with his memorable 20-year NFL career.

Brees retired as the New Orleans Saints quarterback after the 2020 season and now works as an analyst for NBC. “All three of us have remained great friends since we left Purdue, and since Drew is now done playing football, things just fell into place,” said Smith, who lives in Fishers. “Jason heard about Stretch Zone and brought it to Drew and I. After we experienced it firsthand, it was a no-brainer for us that this was the right opportunity for us. This is really something that promotes longevity when talking about health and fitness. All of us are at the age now where it is not as easy to get out of bed in the morning, and proper stretching can reduce those aches and pains.”

The partners are opening their fourth Stretch Zone in Carmel City Center on Nov. 1. They previously opened a Stretch Zone in Zionsville, at 10725 N. Michigan Rd., Suite 130, this summer.

The grand opening for two Stretch Zone studios in New Orleans was Oct. 11. Lorezel and Brees live in New Orleans.

“We plan to expand pretty quickly in Indianapolis and surrounding areas,” Smith said.

Smith wants to add locations in Fishers and Westfield by the end of the year or early next year.

Smith learned about City Center when he attended a rehearsal dinner at Matt the Miller’s.

“There is an excitement around the entire area, and I feel it is the place to be in Carmel,” Smith said.

Brees said it’s special to open Stretch Zone with his good college friends in cities where he has played or near where he has played.

“I have seen the impact and benefits firsthand that stretching has on my athletic potential and quality of life, and Ben, Jason and I are in total agreement that it is time for everyone to try out this patented system that enhances overall health and wellness,” Brees stated.

Stretch Zone is designed for anyone age 14 and up. Trained stretch practitioners guide participants through a series of dynamic stretches geared toward increasing mobility and muscle function.

Hauser helps propel Westfield football team to new heights

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The loss to Center Grove in the 2020 Class 6A state championship game left the Westfield High School football players wanting more.

“Winning state has been a dream of ours for a long time, and to get all the way there and not win definitely left teammates and I unsatisfied,” Westfield senior running back/safety Micah Hauser said.

“Back in sixth grade we made a promise to our coach, Mark Robinson, we would win it all one day. He isn’t here today but we do it for him and we know he is watching from above.”

Robinson, who was a travel team coach for the fifth- and sixth-grade team and a Carmel firefighter, died in 2017 after a battle with cancer.

The Class 6A No. 2 Shamrocks began sectional play Oct. 29 against Noblesville.

Westfield defeated Noblesville 42-15 in the regular season. Center Grove, which also had a powerful group of returnees, is ranked No. 1. The Trojans topped Westfield 38-14 at Lucas Oil Stadium in the 2020 state title game.

“Micah is an extremely tough kid and an elite competitor,” Westfield coach Jake Gilbert said. “He is the best all-around, two-way player in Indiana, in my opinion. He has incredible hips, which make him a great hitter.

Micah is a four-year starter for us and has taken our program to new heights in 6A. “He is very humble and a great teammate.

He is honestly a great kid who becomes a monster once he puts that helmet on.”

Hauser said he has improved since last season.

“Speed has been my emphasis this past year. After battling injuries and recovering from surgeries, it has been my main priority this offseason and has definitely gotten a lot better,” said Hauser, who rushed for 1,059 yards in 2020.

The team’s strength is its bond, Hauser said.

“I think our leadership from our players is the biggest reason for success the past two years,” he said. “We have been extremely close as a team and it’s definitely shown on the field.”

Hauser said he doesn’t have a favorite position.

“I just love being on the field with my teammates,” Hauser said. “I’m focused on the team going all the way this year.”

Hauser, who wants to play football in college, said Indiana State University is one of the schools he is interested in.

Zionsville artist helps others process grief through portraiture

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com After her 54-year-old husband died suddenly in 2012, Zionsville resident D. Anne Jones founded a nonprofit to help others who have unexpectedly lost a loved one, and in the process she found a way to process her own grief.

Jones, 61, is the founder, executive director and primary artist of Face to Face Fine Art, a Zionsville-based nonprofit that provides free painted portraits for families or individuals who have lost a loved one to a sudden, unexpected or tragic death. Jones, who pants the portraits, started the organization to aid others in their grieving process and commemorate the deceased by creating “a lasting memory of their life.”

In 2012, Jones lost a sister to a brain tumor. Her mother, a 22-year pancreatic cancer survivor, died seven weeks later. And at her mother’s funeral, the day before Mother’s Day, another tragedy struck.

“We said, ‘Next Saturday is going to be a fun time, it’s my son’s wedding.’

And that morning, my husband did not wake up. We had a wedding, but it was so surreal,” Jones said.

Jones’ husband, Christopher, died at the age of 54, when Jones was 51. But before his passing, Jones had already thought of starting the nonprofit, and his death reaffirmed her belief that it was something she needed to pursue.

Face to Face was created in 2013, and more than 200 portraits have been completed for those who are selected by the group’s board of directors.

Initially, the portraits are primarily made in pastels, a type of chalk. Jones has completed portraits for people and families across the United States. She also presented 18 portraits to people and families in Jerusalem during a 2016 pilgrimage.

“We were matting them and putting them under glass, and when we took them to the Holy Land, we had pho-

tographs of the drawings themselves put on canvas, and we rolled the canvas and took it to them, so I’ve started doing that,” Jones said. “Now when I do the drawings, I take a photograph of it, and I upload it to the internet, and we present them with a framed canvas. It’s a lot more visible and durable. You don’t have to worry about smearing it or breaking the glass.”

In the past eight years, Jones has made portraits of police officers and firefighters who have died in the line of duty, and of children and people who died recently and those who passed long ago.

Miranda Curtis, a Lebanon resident, met Jones in December of 2020. Curtis had lost her mother Nov. 5 of that year, and one of her infant twins died in May 2020. Jones encouraged her to apply for a grant to receive a portrait from Face to Face. When the grant was approved, Jones created a portrait of Curtis’ mother, which now hangs in her living room.

“It took my breath away,” Curtis said. “To have that, I can’t explain what it means to me. My kids, they struggled with losing my mom also.

They talk to the portrait every day: ‘Hi, Mamaw. We miss you, Mamaw.’ Every

night before they go to bed, they tell Mamaw they love her and good night.

It has helped them a lot.”

While Jones has helped others process their grief, she also has found solace in her work.

“It’s been really therapeutic for me,” Jones said. “I’ve been a portrait artist for 49 years, since I was 12 years old.

For 10 years in Crown Point, I did art shows and craft shows and malls on the weekend 46 weeks a year. That helped me get good at portraiture. I was tired of doing shows and came up with the idea before anybody died, and it was kind of like God or fortune or whatever put me through it so that I could identify with other people.”

In 2019, Jones’ daughter, Leah, unexpectedly died at 37, leaving behind one of Jones’ grandchildren. The loss inspired Jones to move from South Bend to Zionsville on Feb. 29, 2020, to raise her 11-year-old grandchild. A few weeks after she moved, the COVID-19 pandemic began, forcing the two to socially distance from the rest of their family, who live in central Indiana, for several months.

During the pandemic, however, Jones committed herself to Face to Face full time, and she continues to create portraits out of Zionsville.

“When you feel bad and you’ve done something for somebody else, it makes you feel better,” Jones said. “When I first started doing them — and not so much now — I would get along fine, not crying every day over my husband and sister, mom. And I would start crying. I couldn’t figure out what was going on, and it was kind of like I felt the pain of the people I am working on before I would do a portrait. So, I get to know them, and I talk to them and I pray over the portrait, that it will be a source of healing and joy in their (loved ones’) lives.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

In self we trust?

Marooned at Meijer

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Arguably, the 1980s band New Edition led the subsequent wave of teen pop.

Smooth rhythms and mellow voices found the perfect combination of safe and sexy to appeal to a wide audience, one could assume to include singer Whitney Houston, who ultimately married founding member Bobby Brown.

History lesson aside, Track 9 on the band’s 1985 album, “All for Love,” is a song “Who Do You Trust?” For those good readers who have to ask Siri what is an album, let alone a track, suffice it to say it is a 4-minute and 13-second saccharine musical romp where ostensibly the teenage paramour is wooing his would-be Juliet into doing something that she is resisting with the lines, “Who do you trust if you can’t love me?

I’m the one who loves you.”

Rightly, judging from the many, many times the phrase is repeated, Juliet isn’t buying it. Fast forward a few decades and we now find ourselves trapped like our young heroine. Most, it seems, implore us to “trust” them, preferably them alone. We are encouraged, even scolded, to put aside our long-held beliefs and blindly follow the lead of a business marketing campaign, an ambitious government official, or any of a dizzying array of folks, good and bad, that hope to possess our money, our votes, or our very beliefs. The pledges range from personal fitness, to a better society, to a career-promising education, to a key to heaven.

If we give them what they want, they will give us what we want. How can this be a bad thing? Free-market trade is best of all. But where there is no trust, can we make a fair evaluation of our alternatives, let alone a fair exchange?

How can we believe that they are “the one” who loves us?

Meijer and I have a special relationship. We live only a mile apart and have known each other more than 20 years.

She’s been a source of sanity for me, whether it was allowing me to kill time with little ones during inclement weather or to roam her aisles in solitude when I just needed to get away from maternal and marital reality. I think that’s why whenever I am with her, I am at my most vulnerable. She makes me feel safe, and for that reason, I let my defenses down.

Take yesterday, for example. My husband Doo was sick with some nonCOVID-19, flu-like illness, and since I already had plans to desert him for an overnight in Louisville, I offered to go to Meijer for comfort foods and ginger ale before I left. As I’m standing in the soup section perusing the myriad of chicken noodle offerings, Meijer’s Muzak kicks in with that stupid Maroon 5 song: “Here’s to the ones that we got; cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not; ‘cause the drinks bring back all the memories.” You know the one. And suddenly, I am thinking about my deceased dad and fighting the tears that are threatening to embarrass me right in front of Hungry Man and Campbell’s.

Meijer! How could you? After all we’ve been through together! The impulse purchases, the late-night milk runs, the disastrous checkouts, the awkward confrontations with ex-neighbors and column haters. How dare you manipulate my feelings when I’m least prepared to suppress my emotions?

But I still love you, Meijer. And our relationship will always be special.

Peace out.

On a bad roll placing sandwich orders I never know what to order when I go into one of those trendy new soup-andsandwich places. The list of uncommon offerings is endless. The people standing behind me have obviously downloaded a menu at home and given this some previous thought.

Am I the only person in line who hasn’t got a clue what he wants?

Most of the choices at places like Panera and Einstein’s are curious combinations of international cheeses, weird sandwich spreads like “pesto” or “tomesto,” with words like “frontega” or “sri-rancha” thrown in.

Before I order something new, I try to envision what all that will taste like when they glop it together on one sandwich and nuke it. The human mind can only imagine so much, like when I tried to visualize Bill Clinton as first lady.

Sandwiches have changed since I was a kid. Back then, there was ham, roast beef, peanut butter and jelly and tuna or egg salad. That’s what you got at home from Mom or at the corner deli.

The Earl of Sandwich supposedly invent-

w

ed the sandwich in the 1700s so he could eat and play cards at the same time. But I just don’t see a guy betting his fortune on an inside straight and then asking his servant if there is any chipotle mayo for his portabella and Swiss on a jalapeño bagel.

Now, I have so many unrecognizable choices, plus the pressure of the customers behind me who are antsy to get back to their laptop at a nearby table.

“Sandwiches have changed since I was a kid.”

– DICK WOLFSIE I recently visited Einstein’s at lunchtime, stayed at the back of the store and put on my specs. From that vantage point, I could peruse the menu without being pushed into a premature decision. I tried to go unnoticed.

Rats! I was spotted.

“You! Back there, sir. What can I get you today?” she bellowed. All the employees whipped their heads around, somewhat embarrassed they had not spotted me first.

“I don’t know yet. I’m just browsing.”

The menu became a large blur. The Thai Salad with Lime Dressing merged in my mind with the Spicy Chicken on Onion Challah. Panicked, I retreated to an old 1960s standby.

“I’ll have a ham and cheese sandwich,” I said.

Customers stared at me in bewilderment, like I had ordered a vanilla cone at Ben & Jerry’s.

“Do you want Black Forest, Bavarian, Cuban or Virginia ham? And what kind of bread? We have nine varieties … and do you want it toasted? And which country do you want the mustard to come from? And how about cheese? We have a separate menu section listing all of the options.”

I left and got a Big Mac. No complicated questions coming through the loudspeaker.

Just, “Do you want fries with that?”

I did. And it only took one second to make up my mind.

Booster shots available in Hamilton, Boone counties

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently approved PANDEMIC booster shots for certain U.S. citizens, and Hamilton and Boone counties have begun administering them to eligible Hoosiers.

On Oct. 20, the FDA expanded the use of boosters in eligible populations, authorizing Moderna and Johnson & Johnson’s, in addition to Pfizer’s, which had been authorized in September. Two days later, the Indiana State Dept. of Health announced it would begin offering Moderna and J&J boosters to eligible residents.

“The booster shots were approved to help with waning immunity, which means that folks’ immunity is starting to taper off over time, and this is to help get them up to that high level of protection to ensure we are doing everything we can to safeguard folks from the severe effects of COVID,” Hamilton County Health Dept. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Christian Walker said.

A “mix-and-match approach” has been approved by the FDA and CDC, meaning eligible residents can receive a booster shot from the manufacturer of their choosing. It does not have to be the same one they received previously.

“If you got Pfizer before, you can choose to get Pfizer again as well as Moderna (or) Johnson & Johnson,” Walker said. “The same holds true for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.”

Although some initial studies show Moderna and Pfizer’s boosters have produced more significant protection than J&J’s, the HCHD won’t recommend a specific manufacturer, Walker said.

Hamilton County has 52 vaccination sites, Walker said, although some only offer one type of booster. The HCHD and Fishers Health Dept. offer all three.

The Boone County Health Dept. also is administering booster shots, BCHD Public Educator Claire Haughton said. But the department’s vaccination clinic is closed until Nov. 3.

Appointments for booster shots can be made at ourshot.in.gov.

DISPATCHES Fiber to fight diabetes – New research shows that people who are willing to more than double the fiber in their diets from 16 to 37 grams per day can better control diabetes.

Indiana employers among least likely to tolerate impaired employees — Have you ever been tempted to have a drink while on the clock? In a professional workplace, it may be ‘gross misconduct’ and could lead to immediate dismissal without the option to collect unemployment. Most private companies are not mandated by law to have drugfree workplace policies; however, there are exceptions. Workers in safety and security-sensitive industries, as well as federal employees are required to maintain sobriety in the workplace under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. DrugAbuse.com conducted a survey of 3,700 employers across the U.S, asking them to rank their tolerance of intoxication in the workplace from 1 to 10 (1 being the most tolerant and 10 being the least).

The survey revealed that overall, employers in the state of Indiana are among the least tolerant of drunk or high employees, with a ranking of 5/10. Employers in Connecticut, Maine and Nebraska were found to be the most tolerant of employee intoxication with an average tolerance ranking of 3/10. The survey also delved into different industries to find out which are most and least tolerant when it comes to being intoxicated on the job. Employers in the banking and real

estate industry were found to be equally tolerant (2/10).

Source: DrugAbuse.com Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams. There are so many spam postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings.

Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to but is fairly legitimate.

Source: BottomLineInc.com New car replacement insurance — Typical insurance policies only pay a depreciated value for your car if it’s totaled in an accident. Recent ads offering full replacement cost are very common. They don’t, however, tell the whole story. Full replacement cost coverage will increase your premium by at least 15 percent and is only good for a limited time period, or specific number of miles.

It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra tunes up for ‘Masterworks 2’ at the Palladium

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Janna Hymes has a host of reasons for looking forward to the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s “Masterworks CONCERT 2” program — not the least of which is presenting the music of a historically significant composer, Florence Smith Price.

“I’m very excited about the music that we’re playing,” said Hymes, CSO’s artistic director. “We’re playing a very important piece on this program, a piece

by Florence Price. She was the first Black woman composer to be played by a major orchestra.

“I just think that’s really a great thing, and her music is extraordinary.”

Janna Hymes will conduct the “Masterworks 2” program Nov. 13 at the Palladium in Carmel. (Photo courtesy of Carmel Symphony Orchestra”

Hymes will conduct the Nov. 13 concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts, 1 Carter Green, Carmel. Besides the Price piece, “Masterworks 2” will include selections

by Russian composers Mikhail Glinka and Dimitri Shostakovich and Mexican composer Arturo Marquez.

Each selection, Hymes said, strikes unmistakable notes of each composer’s homeland.

“All the pieces, they’re very melodic, and their very nationalistic,” Hymes said.

“They sound like their country. There’s a combination of very melodic music that is just typical of the places where these composers are from, and so it’s fun, it’s really fun.

“I think that a lot of the music will be new to the audience.”

Especially the featured selection, “Symphony No. 3 in C Minor,” by Price, an Arkansas native who became the first Black woman to have a composition played by a major orchestra when the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed

one of her pieces in 1933.

Besides being a classical composer, Price (1887-1953) also was a pianist, organist and music teacher.

“She had her own voice when she wrote music,” Hymes said. “She was very influenced, of course, by the Black church growing up. It’s a real American sound. You can hear a little bit of gospel, you hear almost a cross between some (George) Gershwin, maybe a little bit of that jazz-era gospel, folk, it’s all in there.

It’s just really extraordinary and a pleasure to play.”

Hymes is equally enthusiastic about the other selections of the “Masterworks 2” program. The pieces are Glinka’s “Russian and Ludmilla Overture”; Marquez’s “Danzon No. 2”; and Shostakovich’s “Ballet Suite No. 1.”

“I am excited about it. I can’t wait to get started,” Hymes said.

“Every time we play, it’s epic. The orchestra’s playing so well, and we are just so together as a unit right now, playing music together. Every time we play, people are just going crazy.

The audience is really picking up on the fact that we’re playing from our heart, and we play really from our heart and soul, and that’s every time.

“There are some very exciting moments in this concert, and beautiful moments in this concert. I think the audience is going to love it. I know they will.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Clearwater bathroom makes a splash Commentary by Larry Greene This 1991 Lake Clearwater home is on the north side of Indianapolis. The owners took on several interior updates to fit their modern tastes, including the master bathroom.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The first step was to reimagine the layout. Space from the adjoining hall bathroom was used to accommodate a spacious walk-in shower and allowed the addition of a freestanding tub.

• The shower was designed with a “zero-threshold” for maximum accessibility and features a frameless glass enclosure.

• The owners chose many waterinspired finishes, from a pool-blue quartz countertop for the vanity to wavy glass tile in the shower.

Benjamin Harrison home in Indianapolis. (Photos by Don Knebel)

History of Harrison home Commentary by Don Knebel The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site at 1230 N. Delaware St. in Indianapolis includes one of the nation’s most TRAVEL authentic presidential homes, with about 80 percent of its contents used by Harrison and his family.

Benjamin Harrison was born in Ohio in 1833, the grandson of William Henry Harrison, the ninth president. In 1854, after studying law in Ohio, Harrison and his wife Caroline moved to Indianapolis, where he established a law practice. In 1874, his practice flourishing and his political status increasing, Harrison began building a magnificent house on the outskirts of the city, about a mile north of his office. When completed a year later at a cost of $28,000 (about $500,000 today), the 10,000-square foot Italianate brick house included 16 rooms on three floors. Featuring running water, a coal furnace, brass gaslights, 12foot ceilings, masterfully carved woodwork and French plate glass windows, it was perhaps the finest house in Indiana.

When word reached Indianapolis in 1888 that the Republican convention had nominated Harrison for president, supporters gathered outside his house, where he made a short speech. He campaigned from his house, receiving delegations in the front parlor. Although called a “front porch campaign,” the house at the time did not have a porch. Harrison lost the popular vote to incumbent Grover Cleveland but won the Electoral College vote and became the 23rd president in March 1889. After Cleveland defeated him in 1892, Harrison returned to his home in Indianapolis, where he died in

The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site was named a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The Arthur Jordan Foundation operates the site, which offers guided tours by appointment. A reconstructed carriage house serves as a visitors’ center.

GRAMMAR GUY Let’s start in Colorado. This state boasts high elevations from the Rocky Mountain range. Many people incorrectly pronounce Colorado with a short “a” sound, as in “hat.” The short “a” sound is incorrect; instead, the “a” should be pronounced “ah.”

For some reason, we want to say the word “Nevada” like we’re passing a jar of Grey Poupon out the window of our limo.

We say “Ne-vah-duh.” Actually, the correct pronunciation is a short “a”: Ne-va-duh.

This is the opposite of Colorado. The way I remember how to say Nevada is by saying “Never-had-a,” like in Cheap Trick’s 1989 song “Never Had A Lot To Lose.” The first line of this song states, “I don’t need no money, honey.” This is kind of like when you leave Las Vegas broke and penniless.

Never-had-a. Ne-va-duh.

Take a quick trip up to the Northwest U.S. and we find the state of Oregon. At first glance, I see a place where all the

“ore” is “gone.” Don’t be fooled — it isn’t pronounced “or-gon.” In fact, “Oregon” has three syllables: Or-uh-gn. The last syllable, “gon,” is pronounced like “gun” if the “u” was missing. You’re going to have to memorize this one yourself: Or-uh-gn.

Now, let’s jet across to the far Southeastern U.S., where we find the peninsula state of “Florida.” I’ve heard folks say “Flaw-ri-duh,” with a big emphasis on the “flaw.” The correct way to say Florida is “Floor-ih-duh.” Think of a floor, just like the Walmart floor a Florida man poured salt on in order to get rid of evil spirits back in 2019. True story.

I almost had time to include Illinois and Arkansas. Since I’m out of words, just remember to leave off the “s” in the pronunciation of each state. With Illinois, that can be kind of “ill-annoying,” while in Arkansas, you simply “saw” off the “s.” Safe travels!
