Although many churches across the nation are declining in numbers, Northview Church is expanding its outreach by preaching behind bars.

Democrats say signs point to increasing numbers By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Greg Purvis knows what it’s like to be in the political minority. A Hamilton County resident Election since 2000, the 66-year-old Fishers resident is a Democrat in an area that long has been dominated by Republicans. He has run for local office four times and lost each bid, most recently losing to three Republicans for three at-large seats on the Fishers City Council in 2015. Now, he’s the communications chair for the Hamilton County Democratic Party, and he said he’s seen several trends that could indicate Purvis the county is leaning more blue than ever before leading into the 2018 elections. “We have filled every state legislative spot (with Democrats) that even touches Hamilton County,” Purvis said. “I don’t remember the last time that happened.” For the first time in nearly two decades, Democrats will have a primary election May 8 for county offices. Two candidates are running for the Hamilton County Council District 3 seat, and four are running for the Delaware Township Board, which has three available seats. “When have you ever seen a Democratic primary in Hamilton County?” said Joe Weingarten, chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. “We don’t even know when it last happened.” Weingarten Hamilton County election records show that local Democratic primaries are few and far between. The last time it happened was in 2000, when three Democrats ran for two at-large seats on the county council. But the tide may be turning. Two years ago, the Hamilton County Democratic Party had approximately 50 active precinct chairs, but this year that number is closer to 150. In 2014, Democrats had only a handful of local candidates on the ballot, and in 2016 they had candidates for all 11 local offices except judge. This year, they have 21 local candidates with the possibility of adding more through the end of June. And the party had to move its monthly meetings to the Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers after increased attendance led to overcrowding at its previous home at Scotty’s Brewhouse in Noblesville. Shelley Carey, a lifelong Democrat who grew up in Gary, said one of the first things she
heard after moving to Carmel in 2016 is that “Democrats never win in Hamilton County.” She and her husband soon started attending the Hamilton County Democratic Party meetings, and within the last two years she said she’s seen local Democrats emboldened about their affiliation. “At one meeting, a woman said she was reluctant to share that she was a Democrat in this area knowing she was in the minority, but now she proudly proclaims her choice of being an active member of the Democratic Party,” Carey said. “No one should feel any one party has a monopoly on our area.” Primary participation In Indiana, official party affiliation is determined on the day of the primary election, when voters select the primary in which they’d like to cast a ballot. The county does not keep records of how many people vote in each primary, but in the 2016 primary election 74 percent of all voters who cast ballots for the office of president voted Republican. In 2012, when incumbent President Barack Obama was unopposed in the Democratic primary, 95 percent of those voters took the Republican ballot. Weingarten, a Fishers resident, said he believes the percentage of Democrats in the county is likely higher than the percentage of those who vote in the Democratic primary, as many voters believe their only chance to impact who is elected is through the Republican primary, specifically in municipal elections, which aren’t on the ballot until 2019. Although the number of Democratic candidates is growing, many believe the percentage of Hamilton County residents who are Democrat is increasing, too. The recent proliferation of high-end apartment communities that at-
tract younger residents may be a factor, as 54 percent of millennials (ages 18 to 35) identify as Democrats compared with 48 percent of Generation Xers (36-51), 44 percent of baby boomers (52-70) and 41 percent of the Silent Generation (71-88), according to 2016 data from the Pew Research Center. “There is a possibility that attracting younger people will result in the party affiliation and ideology of the county shifting, but that ignores the fact that not all young people are Democrats or liberals,” said Andy Downs, director of the non-partisan Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics. “Also, it is possible that having one party in control might cause the new folks to join the Republican Party even if they are more liberal than the party.” Republicans remain confident Although Hamilton County Democrats are encouraged by the increased interest they’ve seen this year, Republicans say they’ve seen growth, too. Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Laura Campbell, who also is a member of the Carmel City Council, said she’s been hearing that the county is beginning to shift more Democratic for years but has yet to see any solid evidence. And while Hamilton County Democratic Party leaders said the election of President Donald Trump has energized their base and brought new people to the party, Campbell said it’s also been beneficial for Republicans. “The presidential election brought out people who hadn’t been as involved in the party before, and many of them have stayed engaged,” Campbell said. “I think we’re looking for a very interesting fall election.” For the full story, visit youarecurrent. com/?p=162398.

USPS food drive set for May 12 By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com On May 12, the National Association of Letter Carriers and the United States Postal Service and other partgiving back ners are asking residents to help Stamp Out Hunger during its 26th annual food drive. In previous years, letter carriers and the USPS have collected more than 1.6 billion pounds of food nationwide in the past 25 years. In total, 49 million Americans — an estimated 1 in 6 — are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Thirteen-million are children. More than 5 million seniors, 60 and older, are food insecure. Many live on fixed incomes. “We’re proud of this food drive and the immediate help it brings to our local food pantries,” NALC Branch 888 President Ronnie Roush said. “We’re asking residents for their support to help make this another successful food drive. It’s easy to make a donation; simply leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on May 12 to help your neighbors in need.” Food banks and pantries often receive

the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need. Anyone interested in donating are asked to leave a sturdy bag with non-perishable food items such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice, cereal, etc., next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on the day of the drive. Letter carriers will collect the donations when they deliver the day’s mail. All of the food collected in each community will be donated to a local food pantry.

MOPS hosts annual golf scramble Rarest breed of goats born at fundraiser Conner Prairie By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com
The East 91st Street Church Mothers of Preschoolers group will host its sixth annual Golf Scramble May 14 at the Hawthorns Country Club, 12255 Club Point Dr., Fishers. “MOPS is a national organization for women with children from newborn to kindergarten aged,” parishioner Katie Clayton said. “They partner with a local church where we host everything. It helps women to be able to connect one-on-one with each other. We discuss issues relating to having young children.” Proceeds from the day of golf go directly toward child care for the mothers during their meetings. “We have 100 moms that attend our meeting,” Clayton said. “The majority of the money raised goes straight to child care. It costs $19,000 for child care for nine months. We only ask the moms to pay $100. For each mom to be able to fully fund child care it’s $180, so we have to come up with $80 per person somewhere else.” The day will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a 12:15 p.m. tee time. “The golf course does an amazing job of

providing the golfers where they need to be,” Clayton said. “They will all be paired up in teams of four and will play best ball. They will have two different challenges. One will be the straightest shot and the other will be the closest to the pin.” An online auction starts May 11 and runs through May 14 at 9 p.m. Participants also can purchase raffle tickets and mulligans for the scramble. The cost to participate is $125 per player and includes greens fees, golf cart, practice facilities, range balls, catered lunch, refreshments and prizes. To register, visit e91mops. weebly.com. The event is sponsored by Arbor Homes and Fairway Independent Mortgage Austin Larr Team.
Three goats of the world’s rarest breed were born at Conner Prairie last month. The arawapa goat is close to extinction, and two of the kids were born through natural breeding at the museum. The arawapa goat derives from the extinct Olde English milch goat, which was brought to the U.S. by English settlers. It is estimated there are fewer than 300 arawapa goats worldwide.

Amidst a national congregation decline, several cover story local churches are focused on removing barriers, which seems to be the collective theme behind the growth of Northview Church, Eastern Star Christian Church and Traders Point Christian Church in Hamilton County. “We take the Great Commission seriously, to ‘Go into the world,’” Northview Lead Pastor Steve Poe said. “We’re not waiting for the people to come to us, we take church to them.” Two of Northview’s eight locations are behind prison walls. In fact, the services have been so successful the church is adding another site at Miami Correctional Facility and a new location at the Indiana Women’s “When is it ever a good idea to Prison.

The project has more than 25 community partners.

Northview Lead Pastor Steve Poe preaches.
More than Numbers: Local churches ranked among fastest growing This year, Traders Point Christian Church was ranked the fifth-fastest growing church in the nation by Outreach Magazine. Northview held similar honors in the recent past: ranked second-fastest growing in 2015 and fifth in 2013. Christmas services in 2017 peaked at both locations: 16,460 at TPCC and nearly 20,000 at Northview. But for these growing churches, it’s not about increasing numbers. It’s about reaching the unchurched. “Numbers are important because every number has a name,” Northview Lead Pastor Steve Poe said. “Every name has a story, and every story is important to God.”

Daily rituals
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker There are some things we do once in a while. We eat ice cream. We take long naps. Each is good, even great, in its own way. They punctuate our lives with small respites of joy. They remind us that life is firmly ours to control – as much as we try to convince ourselves that we have precious little over which we can fully direct. Yet, there are other things, maybe even more things, that are a committed part of our daily ritual. We do them at the same time, in the same way, and with the same approach each and every day, for decades at a time. We brush our teeth. We tie our shoes. We look one last time in the mirror before turning out the light and heading out the door. What we expect to see is unknown, even to ourselves, but we must do it. Without the simple action, the ritual would collapse. It is the step we take, every day, before departing our homes. Failure to complete the task could be disastrous – well, maybe not, but why risk it? So, of these many quotidian sacraments, which are worth preserving? Of the thoughtless and habitual actions moving us from one morning to the next, are we squandering our effort on those of little consequence? Is it time to review our ceremony and consciously decide which adds value and which to dump? Sure, most dentists agree that the intentional hygienic process of cleaning one’s teeth should stay on the list. But, as we review our own peculiarities, is it less clear as to the import of our other lesser daily actions? If we spend a minute a day for decades, or perhaps a lifetime, can we feel good about the market’s return on our investment? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Prevent child abuse
Editor, It has been said that children are onethird of our population, but 100 percent of our future. Despite the need to protect such a valuable investment, it has been shown that one in 10 chilno more dren will be sexually abused secrets prior to his or her 18th birthday. That number is sobering, as it means that there will be an estimated 400,000 babies born in the United States that will, at some point, be sexually abused. Indiana, along with 31 other states, has passed legislation requiring child sexual abuse prevention programs to be taught in schools. These programs will provide tools to adults to enable them to prevent, recognize and respond appropriately to child maltreatment, but more specifically to child sexual abuse. These programs also will assist children by empowering them to understand that their bodies belong to them, and by helping them to identify whom to tell if someone is mak-
ing them feel uncomfortable. This “double-pronged” approach to teaching both adults and children is imperative. Often, a child does not disclose sexual abuse for fear of not being believed, or because he or she feels the abuse was their fault. Having informed adults who can assist a child with a disclosure can have an immediate impact on the child’s healing process. It has been shown that prevention education, and education that assists adults in responding appropriately, can increase the rate of disclosure, can decrease self-blame and can help to reduce further victimization. Schools and youth-serving organizations are so important in this effort to prevent child sexual abuse, so it is imperative that the right kinds of programs are utilized so that the very best practices can be used to protect our children … our investment.

I survived my first prom dress shopping experience! With my oldest daughter, that is (back in 1989, I’d searched for months before discovering a spectacuhumor lar off-the-shoulder taffeta number with puff sleeves that perfectly complimented my magnificent bangs). She’s attending “the big dance” next week, and as most of you already know, it’s all about the dress. She had ideas about length and color, and of course, I had ideas about cost and cut. Anything over-priced or too revealing would be off the table. “I’m not spending hundreds of dollars for you to look like a lady of the night!” After navigating the jungle that is Macy’s for 10 minutes, we found the juniors section. She went left, I went right, and we reconvened with nine potential winners between us. “To the dressing room. Away!” Holy, moly. My daughter rocked every single one she put on. Navy, burgundy, satin, chiffon, sequined, plain, it didn’t matter. Stunning. I don’t know why this surprised me, but it did. I’m so used to seeing her making weird faces in leggings and a ratty t-shirt that I don’t think of her as a beautiful young woman. And the self-confidence! Does she care her acne’s flaring up? Or that she takes after me in the small-chest department? Nope, not in the least. She stood in front of that mirror like a runway model, strong and fierce and gorgeous. I’m happy to report we left with an onbudget, age-appropriate dress that she adores. And not only did I survive the experience, but I truly enjoyed the time with my daughter. Yay, prom! Peace out.

Maki wants “to hit people in their wallet”
Editor, Recent campaign fodder offered by Sue Maki suggests that she is opposed to increased “taxes,” but her campaign rhetoric hopes that we never find out that she really stands for “hitting people in their wallet.” Ms. Maki presents herself as a candidate for county council, which is the county’s fiscal body and primary point of controlling taxes. As an employee of Carmel Utilities, Ms. Maki was interviewed by “Water Efficiency Magazine” (ForesterNetwork.com), and in that article she stated, “(Carmel Utilities) went to an inclining rate structure. Hit people in their wallet and that produces change.” Ms. Maki’s words need no clarification. She feels entitled to demand more of our money, and frankly, she seems somewhat proud of it. I cannot conceive of any words that more starkly disqualify a candidate for a position on a budget-making body. Michael R. Shaver, Carmel

Past Sheriff Dan Stevens endorses Quakenbush
Editor, The elected sheriff assumes three core job duties when taking office: 1. Provide law enforcement protection for the unincorporated population of the county and assist, when needed, those municipal and town police departments protecting the incorporated population. 2. Operate and maintain the county jail and juvenile detention center. 3. Serve and protect the seven state courts housed in the Government and Judicial Center. The sheriff’s operating budget is $17.3 million, which includes 216 personnel and a fleet of more than 100 vehicles. The staff consists of 61 sworn police officers, 131 staff assigned to the corrections operation and 24 civilian staff. The next sheriff will face many challenges: • Continue to work with state and local police departments to address the opioid crisis in our community. • Define an operational program for an expanding jail population impacted by
substance abuse and mental health issues. • Evaluate the most effective strategy for protecting the shrinking unincorporated. The sheriff will always have county-wide law enforcement jurisdiction and should maintain a well-trained, professional and dedicated patrol staff to protect our citizens and assist the municipalities where needed. Only the sheriff operates the county jail and only the sheriff protects the state courts housed at the judicial center. Your next sheriff must choose wisely how to spend your tax dollars to operate this $17.3 million business while adapting to the reality of the department’s changing operational environment. Capt. Dennis Quakenbush possesses the common sense maturity, the leadership skills, the business management training and the practical law-enforcement experience to meet this challenge. I support Capt. Dennis Quakenbush for your next sheriff. Sheriff Dan Stevens (retired)

Legislators should do their jobs
Editor, The special state legislative session should have been unnecessary if the governor and super majority in the legislature had done their jobs. The GOP controls the statewide offices plus top majorities in both chambers of the state legislature, yet they could not get their agenda passed and enacted. They did nothing about gerrymandering reform. With a state that has one of the worst voting turnouts, they didn’t pass letting voters cast an absentee ballot without an excuse. With a possibility of getting Amazon’s HQ2, they set back light rail again. Hate-crime legislation wasn’t approved, leaving us as one of only five states without such protections in law. Maybe it’s time to give the other political team a chance. They can’t do any worse. Sincerely, Mike Boland, Fishers For the full letter, visit curreninfishers.com

My sister meditates and claims it makes her feel like another person. She has a small apartment in New York, humor so I hope there is enough room for everybody. Meditating must be working for Linda because she once sent me a recipe with directions like: • I tbsp of chili sauce (DO NOT USE KETCHUP!) • I cup of whole milk (ABSOLUTELY NOT SKIM MILK) She was a little on edge back then, but now when I ask for one of her famous recipes, I get things like: • I tsp of butter (unless you prefer olive oil — just go with the flow) • 2 oz of sour cream (yogurt would be more wholesome, but use whichever tastes better to you) I wanted to learn how to meditate. I sent my wife a text to see if she also was interested. When Mary Ellen got home she was really upset. “We’ve never been happier. What brought this on?” My text said it was time for the two us to try mediation. Darn spell check.
To begin my journey, I got a book called “How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind,” by Pema Chodron. Pema’s book begins with this quote: “Our life is an endless journey: Meditation allows us to experience all the textures of the roadway, which is what the journey is all about.” Obviously, Pema has never driven in Indianapolis, because any journey here is all about avoiding potholes. The book uses expressions like: The principal of newness; having a naked heart; getting closer to yourself; scanning your body; tasting your emotions. Way, way too new age for a guy in old age. Now, I’ve downloaded an app called Headspace to walk me through some meditation exercises. My sister thinks this will make me a less material person. Linda is wrong about that: I’m a humorist … so the more material, the better.

OneZone holds workplace panel

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At its April 17 luncheon, the OneZone Chamber of Commerce hosted a Workplace of Tomorrow panel on Chamber of the topic of the workcommerce place environment of the future. Brian Askins, executive vice president of office services at Colliers International, moderated the panel. Panelists Sam Mishelow, Jeryl Mitsch, Sim Nabors and Michelle Nuckols shared experiences and insights on the future of office design. Askins provided statistics about employees in the U.S., which included information such as 70 percent of full-time employees feel disengaged at work and 85 percent rated the workplace environment as important, very important or the most important factor in rating work engagement. A significant topic included technology and its impact on traditional office space, and how it has changed in the past 10 to 15 years. “There’s been a shift from the real environment to a virtual environment, from typewriters and big cubicles to smaller desks and flat screens,” said Nuckols, a partner at Architects Forum. Nabors, the principal and director of interior design at Ratio, attributed most of the changes to technology, noting most employees aren’t required to physically be in an office anymore. When asked about today’s office tools, Mitsch, president of Mitsch Design, said many are being used to increase collaboration. “Everyone now is being able to connect to flat screen TVs in a conference setting,” she said. “What we are seeing more and more of is less paper in those meetings to make those kinds of meetings as powerful and collaborative as possible.”

Brian Askins, executive vice president of office services at Colliers International, moderates a panel on the Workplace of Tomorrow while Sam Mishelow looks on.
“I would probably add to that that everyone is carrying around a device with them,” Nabors said. “Another big factor as we go forward is we are just starting to see the first of the ‘Z generation,’ the technology natives. They have never known a world without this technology at their fingertips, and we will see this demand-increase in skill.” Nuckols said despite technology allowing people to work on the go and from home, many still want a workplace setting to interact with other people. “The workplace isn’t going away,” she said. “It’s just changing.” Mishelow, chief strategy officer for Meyer Najem, said a key to engaging employees in the workplace is to ask them what they want and by creating different workplaces for different types of employees. “It’s really all about employee engagement in our firm,” he said. “Each year, we do an employee engagement survey. It’s really important to find out what your employees want. You can’t anticipate what they want unless you ask them. You have to create an environment to hire the best talent and, more importantly, retain the talent you’ve already invested in.”

One in seven women will experience postpartum depression, according to the American Psychological wellness Association. Licensed mental health counselors Janna Kinner, Katie Hunter and Aimee Peters will conduct the Taking Back Motherhood course at the Fishers YMCA. “We noticed we were treating women having struggles right after their baby was born but oftentimes women would wait until their baby is almost a year old,” Kinner said. “I have quite a few friends that have started speaking up about their struggles. I’d say the combination of professional experience and also hearing more women being open about it helped us realize there was a need in the community.” The YMCA was the perfect community setting for the group to meet, Kinner said. “There might be more stigma in terms of seeking treatment at a hospital versus in a community setting,” Kinner said. “A lot of moms struggle, not just after their first baby is born, but maybe (after) their second, third or fourth babies are born, and that means they have older children at home as well.” Play and Learn child care is available for babies and/or their older siblings. It’s free for members, or $5 per hour, per child for non-members. The course is formatted to allow women to share their experiences while also learn-

ing from the therapists. “We’re also planning to have a short time of education where whoever is facilitating the group will bring a topic such as selfcare of how to handle changes in your marriage or other relationships related to this adjustment period in your life,” Kinner said. Sessions will be held on the first and third Thursday of the month from 10 to 11:30 a.m. For more information about the group and to complete a required brief phone screening, contact Janna Kinner at 317-7753030 or janna@livestransforming.com.

Pooling shade, privacy and landscaping Commentary by Randy Sorrell It’s always a joy to design and install outdoor living spaces for wonderful families who want to outdoor living impact their living/ entertaining habits, and this space is a fantastic example. This Carmel pool area was somewhat benign (the owner’s description, as I recall) prior to installation and needed pulled into the home’s embrace. It lacked color, felt exposed to the world and needed privacy, low maintenance solutions and shade. But, what a beautiful pool! PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS • The large, multi-tasking pergola frames dramatic views from the home, provides shade respites and contributes to developing layered privacy from the stately development behind them. Round columns and details on the pergola ends echo the home’s architecture. • An elegant blue stone ribbon around the concrete pool decking provides color, urges formality and gently expands the living space just enough. • Spectacular colorful landscaping

Duke Tumatoe joins John Waite to kick off Fishers’ Friday-night concert series By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Duke Tumatoe can afford to be picky. “There is only so much that makes sense to do at my age,” Tumatoe said. Tumatoe, a 71-year-old CarEVENT mel resident, will be making his first appearance in the AMP After Dark concert series June 8 to kick off the Fishers series set for Friday nights. As a result of construction at the Nickel Plate District AMP, the concerts will take place on the Central Green through June 22. Tumatoe and his Power Trio will perform before John Waite, former lead vocalist for The Babys and Bad English. Waite’s solo hit “Missing You” was a No. 1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. Tumatoe will warm the crowd up with blues and humor. “I’ll do a few of my old stuff, from the last 10 to 12 albums, and some blues tunes and have some fun with them,” Tumatoe said. “We’ll see what the crowd is into and we’ll go from there.” Tumatoe, whose last album was released in January 2017, is working on an album that likely won’t be released until 2019. “We’ll be all over the place June through October,” Tumatoe said. “I don’t travel like I used to do.” Tumatoe prefers venues where crowds are there to enjoy the music. “Showcase rooms, performance halls, theaters, concerts where I can get a crowd that has come to see me,” Tumatoe said. “There are some venues that just are not as much fun to play in as others. At this point of my career, I’ve done enough stuff just for the sake of doing it. It makes sense now to get the kind of crowds to listen to what I do. What I do comes from a blues background, but there is a lot of storytelling and mischief in it.” Tumatoe said some people misunderstand the blues. “The blues in its natural element is intended to make fun of life, all the way from dead presidents to 300 pounds of heavenly joy,” Tumatoe said. “I have four generations

of family that come to see me and hire us for private events. It’s heartwarming to get the response I’ve gotten over the years.” Tumatoe is well known for working for the “The Bob & Tom Show” on radio in the mid-1980s. “It’s almost like I have two careers, where there is Bob and Tom, where people associate me with humorous things and
topic-driven stuff,” Tumatoe said. “Then there is my blues career, not that they don’t overlap in my live shows.” For several years, Tumatoe performed the song “Lord Help Our Colts,” which he updated each week during Colts’ season. “This year they brought me out of retirement because the Colts were so bad, and I did about 12 versions,” he said.

Commentary by Mark Johson Where to go: Burgerhaus Where it is: 89 Veterans Way, Carmel When it’s open: Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mark’s take: Let’s talk about burgers, shall we? Better still, let’s talk about Burgerhaus, a great restaurant for gourmet burgers. The menu features an impressive list of burgers with an array of toppings. Not in the mood for a burger? No worries, appetizers, salads and other entrees are available. So, enjoy a meal at a hip, stylish eatery with friends, family, co-workers or all the above. It’s a great dining experience. What to get: For first-timers, I recommend the Haus. This one is closest to a traditional burger with a lot of room to ex-

Sauvignon blanc for springtime Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Sauvignon blanc is a great choice for warm weather. It’s a green-skinned grape that originated in WINEderlust Southwest France. Like any grape, it takes on nuances of the soil and environment where it’s grown. Thus, sauvignon blancs from different parts of the world do vary in color, taste and body. My favorites tend to be described by terms like: fresh, crisp, aromatic and elegant. Usually, sauvignon blanc is both food-friendly and sippable, making it smart to have on hand in case of impromptu entertaining. I’ve got three to suggest. Two are the same price, but stylistically different. The third will be a splurge. First up is Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 ($19). In full disclosure, New Zealand wine is normally not my favorite, but it is wildly popular. It tends to be too stylized for me. This option is from a famous NZ maker, Kim Crawford, and is a great choice. The wine shows off big ole’ grapefruit flavors, typical of the region, without being too over-the-top. It boasts a successful blend of lemon, lime, fresh thyme and pas-

sion fruit flavors. Yum. Second is a pretty French selection, Domaine de la Perriere Sancerre, 2016 (also $19ish). Almost green in color, it has perfumed aromas of white flowers and peaches. In the mouth, it is citrusy, minerally and a tiny bit smoky. This wine is a great choice with salads, asparagus or white fish. Merry Edwards has been one of my favorite American (and female!) winemakers for many years. Her wine is great. All of it. The Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 is $39 a bottle and worth every penny. Always highly-rated, it is a blend of 70 percent sauvignon blanc and 30 percent sauvignon muscat. Golden in color, it smells like nectarines, apples, pineapples and quince. Mouthwatering and bright, think tangerines, candied citrus, pink grapefruit.

Ending with prepositions Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
A Bastion of Jaabar Castle near Raqqa, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Syria’s historic Jaabar Castle Commentary by Don Knebel A castle in northern Syria has a rare distinction – it figured in battles during the Crusades and in the recent Syrtravel ian civil war. The Jaabar Castle, known in Arabic as Qal’at Ja’bar, is atop a hill about 25 miles west of Raqqa. Since the seventh century, the hilltop has been fortified to guard a crossing point on the Euphrates River that connected Raqqa with the west. The first castle on the site was built by local Bedouins in the early 11th century and came under the control of the Ugaylids, a Muslim dynasty, in 1086. Members of the First Crusade, who captured Jerusalem from the Muslims in 1099, gained control of the castle in 1102. The site was recaptured by Muslim forces in 1147. Nur al-Din Zangi, who succeeded in uniting Muslim forces against the Crusaders, rebuilt the castle beginning in 1168 to help hold the surrounding territory against future Crusades. The restored castle included an oblong stone wall 1,210 feet by 560 feet, protected by 35 bastions and a dry moat.
Many of the structures of Jaabar Castle, including a circular minaret, were constructed from mud bricks. Although the castle was extensively damaged by Mongol raids, the minaret has remained intact. Beginning in 1968, Russia built the Tabqa Dam across the Euphrates River just east of Jaabar Castle. As a result, the hilltop on which the castle rests is now an island in Lake Assad, reachable by causeway. In 2014, the so-called Islamic State gained control of Jaabar Castle, using it as a training facility and making threats against the Tabqa Dam. In January 2017, Syrian forces recaptured Jaabar Castle. In May 2017, forces supported by the United States recaptured the Tabqa Dam, leading to the liberation of Raqqa, which the Islamic State claimed was its Syrian capital.

sion. Instead of saying, “The polo match was rained out,” people will contort their sentence into, “Rained out the polo match was.” Sure, it’s important to maintain formal sentence structure when the occasion calls for it: In a job cover letter, in academic papers and when ordering at multiMichelin star restaurants. But, in everyday usage, ending the occasional sentence in a preposition isn’t a big deal.
If your goal in life is to spend your weekends perusing chandelier catalogs while wearing grammar guy a gold-rimmed monocle in one of your five lake houses, you probably should brush up on your grammar. Today’s focus is on ending sentences with prepositions, which is almost universally seen as a big no-no by traditional grammar aficionados. Before I surprise you with my take on Curtis Honeycutt is a the subject, let’s revisit what prepositions freelance humor writer. are in the first place. A preposition is a Have a grammar question? word that connects a noun to another Connect with him on Twitter @curtishoneycutt or at nearby word or phrase in a sentence. Let curtishoneycutt.com. me give you some examples: • Mari tripped (over) the sleeping puppy. • Joe showed off his amazing dad FAMILY DENTISTRY FOR ALL AGES Personalized Care With A Gentle Touch dance skills (during) the Milli Vanilli concert. • I locked my keys (inside) my car again. Supposedly, it’s a huge grammar faux pas to end a sentence with a preposition. In most cases, I agree. The primary instance in which you shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition is when the Kevin D. Ward, D.D.S. preposition is unnecessary, like in the senEmail: kwarddds@fishersdentalcare.com tence: Where did you put your keys at?
