Board awards bids, updates policies Compiled by Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Schools Board of Trustees met Feb. 24. The next board meeting, a workshop session, is set for 7 p.m. March 9. At 7 p.m. March 23, the board will hold a regular meeting. Both will be held in the Educational Services Center, at 5201 E. Main St. For more, or to see an agenda, visit ccs.k12.in.us/board. What happened: The board unanimously approved a bid award for renovations at Carmel High School. What it means: Totaling $309,529, the bid was granted to three contractors – Blakley’s Flooring, Bill Lawrence Co., Inc. and Trisco Systems, Inc. Roger McMichael, associate superintendent of business affairs at CCS, said the work will consist of replacing floors in the locker room quarters, painting and

wall covering in the special needs quarters and masonry restoration in several areas of the building exterior. McMichael said the work is being funded by the district’s selling of general obligation bonds. He said a majority of the work will take place during the summer but could begin as early as spring break.

What happened: The board unanimously approved a bid award for technology upgrades. What it means: Contractors C-Cat and Brookfield Group were awarded base bids of $175,440.04 and $185,277.65, respectively, to install fiber optic cabling and associated equipment at 13 schools. McMichael said the project will be funded out of the district’s capital or bond fund, but that e-rate funding could cover approximately 40 percent of the

cost. “E-rate funding is a federal program that provides partial funding for technology initiatives for school districts,” McMichael said. “The distribution of that money can vary depending on the applications submitted and the amount of funds available. In our case, we would do this work regardless.”

What happened: The board unanimously approved a series of change orders for projects at Forest Dale Elementary, CHS and for districtwide paving improvements.

What it means: The change orders verify changes from the original bid awards granted for the projects, with a total additional amount of $29,186. “This is work that was primarily done over the summer, so it’s kind of routine that we always go through to close out once contracts are finished,” McMichael said. “These contracts added up to $3 million. Ultimately, the expense is $29,186 more than originally awarded in the $3 million-plus.” What happened: The board unanimously approved removal of a policy regarding school visitors. What it means: In recent months, the board has made updates to Policy 8120, which includes language on visitors inside school buildings. With those changes, another policy regarding school visitors, Policy 9150, became redundant. What happened: The board adopted an updated bylaw regarding school board member ethics. What it means: The bylaw has been updated to state that school board members visiting school buildings during the school day must notify the district superintendent.

Carmel man indicted on $2M credit card fraud news@currentincarmel.com A Carmel man has been indicted on federal charges for stealing credit card and personal inforSTOLEN mation to sell electronics and other merchandise online for $2 million. United States Attorney Josh J. Minkler recently announced that Tuong Quoc Ho, 32, was indicted by a federal grand jury for a scheme to defraud businesses, consumers, suppliers, financial institutions, credit card holders, credit card companies and identity theft victims. The indictment contains 28 federal offenses, including wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, credit card fraud and money laundering, among other charges. “Fraud cannot and will not be tolerated at any cost, especially when it involves identity theft,” Minkler stated. “This can devastate people’s credit, which often times takes them years to repair.” According to court documents, Ho and others overseas allegedly

obtained personal information online from hundreds of people worldwide. He allegedly used the information to open $2 million in PayPal and eBay accounts, linking his personal bank accounts to them to receive and transfer money. Ho allegedly wired money from more than 500 accounts to family and friends in Vietnam and used the money for personal expenses, including the purchase of his home in Carmel, according to the Dept. of Justice. The indictment alleges Ho and others used the accounts to advertise and sell a variety of items that were purchased with stolen credit card information. The case, which began in 2018, is the result of an investigation by the Carmel Police Dept., FBI and the United States Postal Inspection Service. According to Assistant United States Attorneys MaryAnn T. Mindrum and James M. Warden, Ho faces up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a maximum fine of $250,000.

Historical Society to host Holocaust remembrance By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay Historical Society will host a Holocaust remembrance event detailing DOCUMENTARY the legacy of Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor at 7 p.m. March 9 in the main library program room. Kor’s story inspired the documentary “Eva: A-7063.” “‘A-7063’ was Eva’s number she was assigned when she was 10 years old at arrival at Auschwitz,” said Amy Grove, CCHS museum director. “She’s been in several other Holocaust documentaries, but this one was a full, cohesive life story starting from a young age.” Kor died July 4, 2019 while visiting Poland. Documentary director Tom Green will attend and discuss the importance of the movie. “We thought it would be natural to do something considering 2020 is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz,” Grove said. Kor’s son, Dr. Alex Kor, will discuss how he plans to keep his mother’s legacy alive. He is a Carmel resident and podiatrist. “Dr. Kor will be giving a talk about

his experiences carrying on his mother’s message since her passing last year,” Grove said. “He’ll discuss what he intends to do to carry on her message, and then his recent trip back to Auschwitz just last month.” Grove will also speak at the event. “I was the program coordinator and curator at CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Terre Haute, so I worked very closely with Eva,” Grove said. “It was such an amazing experience to work with her. I consider her my grandmother in a lot of ways.” The event is free. Registration is not required. For more, visit carmel. lib.in.us.

Paper size to revert To our readers, In the wake of GateHouse Media’s acquisition of Gannett, which prints this newspaper at Lafayette, Gannett (as the combined companies now are known) has made the decision to close the Lafayette printing plant effective with this issue, we are sorry to report. Printing of the newspaper, at its former size, will return to Gannett’s plant in Indianapolis beginning the week of March 9. Gannett’s decision wasn’t necessarily unexpected, given the merger and its aftermath nationwide.

Inasmuch as we have attained a new print standard, we have been assured by the Indianapolis plant management that the quality will continue. We believe we made the correct move for you and your fellow readers by making the move last fall to Lafayette, but the realities of the merger are far reaching, and our company could not escape them.

Guerin graduate lands with Indy Eleven By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Carmel resident Cameron Lindley, playing professional soccer near home is certainly SOCCER special. But the primary reason the 2016 Guerin Catholic High School graduate signed with Indy Eleven is its head coach, Martin Rennie. “I had a bunch of different options and (was) speaking to a lot of different teams, but I thought Martin’s philosophy was one that was the best for me,” Lindley said. “He saw the potential I had as a player but wanted to help me grow as well. That was a big factor in my decision.” Lindley, a midfielder, has played against Indy Eleven twice while playing for Memphis 901 FC of USL Championship (part of United States League) in 2019. Indy Eleven opens the 2020 regular season March 7 at Memphis. “I trained in the offseason a few times with the team and got to be around (Rennie) and talked to guys about him,” said Lindley, who said players said positive things about Rennie. Lindley, 22, left the University of North Carolina after two seasons, after being named all-Atlantic Coast Conference Midfielder of the Year as a sophomore. “I thought I was ready to go pro, and I’m glad I did,” said Lindley, who attended Carmel High School for two years before transferring to Guerin. Lindley signed with Major League Soccer’s Orlando City in 2018 and played in three games that season. He played the 2019 season with Memphis, which has an affiliation with Orlando City. Orlando released Lindley following the 2019 season. “I definitely want to get back to the MLS next year or the year after that,” Lindley said. “Here, it would be cool to bring a regular season championship and go into the playoffs and win another championship. I think it would be super cool to be able to win a

championship in your hometown and just get better as a player to do anything I need to do to get back in MLS.” Lindley said the biggest thing he learned was how to approach the game as a professional. “You have to wake up every day and enjoy the game but give everything you have the three, four, five hours you are there every day,” he said. “If you are able to do that, you’ll see yourself developing as a player and person.” Lindley said he wamts to play a lot of meaningful games for Indy Eleven. “I think I’ll get on the field a lot, but this is such a good team that every game is a meaningful game,” he said. “The next progression in my career is playing in games that matter and showing I can get it done and teams will take notice.” Lindley said the USL Championship is comparable to the MLS the same way the NBA’s G League is comparable to the NBA. “The level in soccer between the MLS and USL isn’t that big, but there is definitely a difference,” he said.

Brother’s death leads to atheism, then ministry for Hall of Fame golfer By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As a 5-year-old, Nancy Fitzgerald’s faith in God was not just shaken but destroyed. While at the family’s Michigan lake house, she found her 2-year-old brother COVER STORY Stephen in the lake and tried to save him. “The babysitter said it was my fault he died and I killed him,” Fitzgerald said. “As an adult, I understand that now it was a reaction of horror. But as a 5-year-old recipient, I just felt guilt and shame. At that time, I asked God to fix him. But my dad finally told me (the paramedics) weren’t able to save him and Stephen died and was in heaven. I said, ‘Who would want to be with a God who killed him?’ That was with me for 27 years. I became a cynic. “My reaction to a God that would allow this to happen was an extreme unhealthy fear. I was terrified he was going to kill me.” Fast-forward to age 32 and Fitzgerald, who considered herself an atheist, said she felt something missing in life — despite a successful college golfing career at Indiana University, earning two master’s degrees from IU and a successful amateur golfing career. “I was winning golf tournaments all over the world, but there was a missing link,” she said. “I figured it had something to do with God. I was staying with Christians during a golf tournament and began reading Scriptures.” That led to extensive research. She peppered Christians with questions like, “How do you know the Bible is true?’” “I researched it to the point that I could no longer disbelieve,” Fitzgerald said. “The evidence is overwhelming.” As a result, she wanted to share that faith, eventually leading the longtime Carmel resident to found the Carmel-based ministry Anchorsaway. Sessions are held on Tuesday evenings from mid-January through April. The sessions are primarily designed for high school juniors and seniors. Fitzgerald started on that path when her oldest son was a senior in high school in 1989. She asked him what he was going to do when he encountered skeptics or atheists in college. “I think Christians need to be slow to speak and quick to ask people’s stories as to why they didn’t believe,” she said. “Instead of preaching, sometimes we need to be good listeners.” Fitzgerald led Bible study sessions in her home,

because of the importance of what we teach of a life with Christ versus a life of golf.” Fitzgerald, the 1997 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur champion and a 1990 Indiana Golf Hall of Famer, decided she could play fewer tournaments. “I want to be remembered for making a little difference in a life rather than winning golf tournaments,” she said. Fitzgerald said that is not to diminish what she describes as the greatest game ever and one that has provided a wealth of friends and experiences. “But my heart is with kids,” she said. Fitzgerald has made it her mission to teach students how to use the ministry. “It’s how to develop a real faith in Christ that not only allows us to answer our questions, (but) to give us purpose and hope in a mixed-up world, and to realize we’ve all messed up but God loves us anyway,” she said. “If you believe in Christ and (that) he died and rose again, we’re forgiven and he gives us new chances. We need to take advantage of it. Rather than looking in the past with regret, we’re looking in the future with hope.” Fitzgerald and her husband, Ed, a retired heart surgeon, have four children and 10 grandchildren, who all live in Denver.

SHARING THE STORY

Nancy Fitzgerald with the late Chuck Colson.

where she began to answer questions about Christianity. “They were fascinated with it,” she said of the students. “They called themselves Christians because they went to church, but it wasn’t until we really got into it that they got excited about their faith and how to love others that think differently. We started with a group of six kids, and in a few years we had 150 kids in our great room at home.” Fitzgerald studied for a year with the Colson Fellows Program, founded by the late Chuck Colson. A former special counsel to President Richard Nixon who went to prison for several months for obstruction of justice during the Watergate scandal, Colson became an evangelical Christian and founded a prison ministry. “Chuck Colson said, ‘You are going to have to give up your golf to do this,’” Fitzgerald said. “I willingly backed off of golf and jumped full time into ministry

While at Greenfield-Central High School, Katie Peters had been taught Nancy Fitzgerald’s curriculum on understanding the Christian faith. Now, she has returned for a refresher course on the Anchorsaway Worldwide Curriculum to share with others. “Several parents hosted it in their homes and opened it to high school juniors and seniors in the area,” Peters said. “The people who did it were trained by Nancy.” Peters, 25, is now a Greenfield-Central dietician. “I want to do what folks did for me and bring it to this area,” Peters said. “Even though I went to a private Christian university (Samford University), the material I learned (from Anchorsaway) made me confident in what I believed. It gave me a solid foundation.” Peters said the curriculum provides evidence and reasoning for Christian beliefs. “It’s defending your faith but also tackling real issues people face every single day,” she said.

LETTER

Public rants

Medicare not welfare

Commentary by Terry Anker While recently walking down the street, across the way a man was expressing his frustration with, well, life in general by shouting at the sky as he meandered down the sidewalk. Good folks returning to finish the remainder of their workday spread broadly to avoid a direct encounter with our upset fellow citizen. It is unclear what motivated the outburst. Perhaps he was mentally ill. Perhaps he was simply overwhelmed by a bad day. Perhaps he just liked to stand in the street and make other people feel unnecessarily uncomfortable and threatened. No one asked and he didn’t say. Weeks later, the incident is vividly remembered. In fact, several such encounters have happened throught the years. Profane, inappropriate, intimidating and caustic. Life brings us to confront others who, because of circumstance or intention, are having a rough time staying within the boundaries of behavior acceptable in modern social order. If we are in a parade shouting, we might get a pass. But a single human on a rant is far less likely to be overlooked. And now, social media allows for the random rant to come into our homes. Flipping through pictures of our aunt’s vacation to Disney, we read the post from someone claiming the mouse to be a communist. What? We expected some remark about the size of the ice cream cone in the photo, not a social commentary on the degradation of Walt’s brainchild.

Drilling down on dental fears Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, I may be checking out mentally for a while, as my March calendar has rudely HUMOR informed me that I have a semiannual teeth cleaning coming up. If you see me wandering aimlessly in Meijer, “Naked and Afraid”-style, you’ll know why. My by best advice is to look away. Look away. Allow me to provide context for my soon-to-be catatonic state. The sheer terror that I experience with every dental visit begins well in advance of the appointed hour. The anxiety of knowing what potentially awaits – scraping, drilling, cavity filling – mounts exponentially until nothing else matters. Work, family, showering ... what’s the point if it all might end at the hands of a gregarious but aggressive hygienist? I’ve begged my dentist to add a psychiatric professional to his staff, or at the very least, slide me a Valium, but he promises “I’ll be fine.” Fine? Is scouting various escape

routes fine? Is lying about a sick kid fine? Is rescheduling three times for no reason except debilitating panic fine? I think I speak for many children of the ’70 and ’80s when I say that going to the dentist, even a gentle and compassionate one, is the stuff of nightmares because of what dentistry used to be like. I mean, did “laughing gas” really numb anything except the ability to flee? Is it any wonder I’m still traumatized? And God help me if he actually finds something. “Doo, we’ve had a good run, but Canada is calling.” So, folks, wish me luck. And again, if you stumble across a desperate-looking redhead in dairy wearing nothing but smeared mascara, look away. Peace out.

Editor, I’m usually a very healthy person. In fact, except for childbirth, I’ve never been hospitalized. So, a few weeks ago, I was dismayed to discover that I was sick enough to need surgery. The doctors and nurses at Riverview Hospital were wonderful and caring, but I cringed at every expensive test they ran. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my Medicare Advantage plan covered everything except a few hundred dollars. When I was working full time, my employer-provided health care would have only covered about 70 percent, leaving me to pay thousands of dollars. I hope our elected representatives in Washington, D.C., reject President Trump’s proposed budget cuts to both Medicare and Social Security. Those of us who paid into these systems for 50-plus years are indeed “entitled” to the benefits we were promised. It is not welfare. Pamela Jackson, Noblesville

HEALTH DISPATCHES New blood cancer treatment — A type of blood-cancer treatment that has shown remarkable success in clinical trials is beginning to receive FDA approvals. In CAR T-cell therapy, blood is drawn from a patient to isolate T-cells, the powerhouses of the body’s immune system. The T-cells are reprogrammed to kill tumor cells and then infused back into the patient. This appears to be most effective with certain types of blood cancers. Source: BottomLineInc.com Better way to take meds — Some medicines are better absorbed by the body if taken sublingually. This means the medicine is placed under your tongue and held there until it is absorbed. It can go directly into the bloodstream without being digested first. If you have trouble taking pills, or have digestive difficulties, ask your doctor about sublingual alternatives. Source: The Alternative Advisor Helping loved ones recover – When a loved one is ill, you can help their recovery even if you have no medical training. When you talk to them, get an update and be sympathetic, but quickly shift to a positive, upbeat tone. Don’t talk about your own illnesses. Let the person know that you are looking forward to meeting for lunch, or some other outing, in the near future. Have a funny story or wonderful reminiscence to share. Laughter is a great healer and it can make the recovering person’s day.

CFD, donor network partner By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Once upon a not-too-distant time, the process of organ and tissue donations was the DONATION sole province of hospitals. But thanks to a partnership between the Indiana Donor Network and Carmel Fire Dept., that is no longer the case in Hamilton County, where the process of tissue donation can be activated outside a hospital setting. Firefighter/EMTs who arrive on the scene of fatal emergency runs can now refer potential tissue donors directly to the Indiana Donor Network. Previously, referrals only came from hospitals following a patient’s death – a practice that excluded potential donors who died outside of hospitals. Although still in its infancy, the pilot program – the first of its kind in Indiana – is expected to eventu-

ally benefit countless patients in need of skin, bone, vein, heart valve, tendon or cornea donations. “The key thing for us is, Carmel fire is notifying us and activating the process for donation to happen,” said Sue Finkam, who served as director of external engagement for Indiana Donor Network until mid-February. “Donation is a rare gift, so the fact that Carmel Fire is able to help out and try to identify more tissue donors is incredibly helpful. Not only to us, but to help others heal.” Skin, for example, can help burn patients and provide tissue for reconstruction for breast cancer patients. Bone can help bone cancer patients and help repair bone fractures, and tendons can help rebuild damaged joints. Launched in June 2019, the program is only applicable for tissue referrals.

Carmel will soon be home to a new family owned coffee shop. Rachel Priddy is expanding her COFFEE mobile coffee truck, Rose & Lois, into a brickand-mortar building at 7249 E. 146th St. Suite 110, Carmel. The café’s grand-opening celebration will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 7 with live music all day and free coffee samples. Since leaving a corporate career in technical sales and food science, Priddy, a Fishers resident, aspired to open a coffee shop that could become a home away from home for remote employees, working moms and freelancers, something she said was difficult to find in the area. “I wanted something that was a place for families and a place for life to happen,” she said. Priddy and her husband first operated an espresso cart at the Noblesville Farmers Market and Hamilton Town Center. The demand soon grew, compelling them to purchase and renovate a second food truck. When Priddy found the ideal building to expand the business, it was full-speed ahead on the café. “I fell in love with a space that’s

only a mile from our house, and that really influenced a lot of my designs because it’s a beautiful new building,” she said. The café, also named Rose & Lois after her two daughters, features a meeting space with a glass garage door for privacy, a children’s play area, a drive-through and a back patio. The menu features soups, salads, charcuterie and bakery items, including allergy-sensitive and gluten-free options. “To me, I really wanted something you could get quickly and it could be kid-friendly and it could be satisfying and somewhat clean eating if you wanted to be,” Priddy said. Priddy will continue operating the food trucks at farmers markets, private parties and weddings. For more, visit roseandlois.com.

The same survey by Northwestern Mutual, however, shows that Americans are in fact digging themselves further into debt. The survey notes that while 33 percent of Americans owe between $5,001 and $25,000, only 17 percent of us have saved a similar amount outside of our retirement accounts. Source: BottomLineInc.com

Carmel resident’s studio celebrates 20th By Heather Collins editorial@youarcurrent.com Carmel resident Ryan Adkins is the chief engineer and owner of Azmyth Recording Studio and the Azmyth School of MILESTONE Music Technology, an audio engineering and music production school. The studio will celebrated its 20th anniversary with Feb. 26 open house. It hosted “The Voice” auditions Feb. 12-13. Studio employees have worked on award-winning projects that have received national acclaim and worked with renowned recording artists such as John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful, delta blues artist Yank Rachell, Cappadonna from Wu Tang Clan, Scott Russo from Unwritten Law and Migos as well as local acts Haste the Day and Emery. Eminem produced D-12’s album “Purple Pills” at the studio, and Snoop Dogg did voice-over work at the studio for his TV show, “Coach Snoop.” A 1993 Carmel High School graduate, Adkins said his first recording was for his CHS jazz band. He built his first recording studio in his parents’ three-car garage near Civic Square in Carmel. After earning his degree in the recording arts from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., he moved back to Indiana and began an internship at The Lodge, a recording studio in Indianapolis. He became head engineer at The Lodge before relocating to Bloomington to work as studio manager and engineer at Echo Park Studios, owned by John Mellencamp’s guitarist, Mike Wanchic. In 1999, Adkins launched his own studio, Azmyth Recording Studios, in Carmel at 136th and Range Line Road. The studio relocated to its current location in Indianapolis in 2007 due to construction of the 136th and Range Line Road roundabout.

The studio is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and rare vintage finds, including a 1960s Telefunken 251 microphone and Adkins’ original recording device, an Otari MX-80 2 24 analog tape machine. The studio recently added a reconditioned 24-channel Neve VR console. A Noblesville native, Harrison Ruhl met Adkins while working sound at White River Christian church in Noblesville. Adkins noticed Ruhl’s talent and mentored him. Ruhl attended the Azmyth School of Music Technology and became studio assistant in 2008. In less than a year, he was conducting his own sessions. “The healthy habits that I learned at Azmyth School, I still use on a daily basis, all the time,” Ruhl said. “(Adkins) gave me a great manual and essentially gave me the keys to the kingdom.” Ruhl has worked as the audio system engineer for Carlos Santana and Morrisey as well as fly technician for Stone Temple Pilots and monitor engineer for The Cult. He is on tour

as the audio system engineer for Gabriel Iglesias, a.k.a., Fluffy. “Azmyth is a hidden gem of recording studios in Indiana,” he said. Azmyth School of Music Technology Carmel resident Luke Amaral, 21, said he enrolled in the Azmyth School of Music Technology to learn how to record his own music. The 20-week course offered Amaral a chance to have 1-on-1 lessons and shadow recording sessions with the head engineers and have access to the student studio. “There’s something about a professional studio, and that vibe that it brings, that in my opinion is unmatched,” he said. He released his album “The Feeling’s Mutual” under his artist name, Lukey (Instagram: @LukeAmaral) last summer and released his latest single, “Better Off Alone,” Feb 15. He is a freelance engineer at the studio and works on his own projects. For more, visit azmythrecording. com.

VoicePlay to perform By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com VoicePlay started out as a group of friends who liked to sing and have fun. MUSIC “We started because it was fun to do and we figured out we could get paid for it,” Jacobson said. “I don’t think anyone thought it would continue this long, but we feel grateful for it.” VoicePlay, an a cappella quintet, will perform at 8 p.m. March 6 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The group was originally known as 42Five, but changed its name in 2012. Earl Elkins Jr., Layne Stein and Geoff Castellucci attended the same high school in Winter Park, Fla., where they formed an a cappella group. Jacobson attended a different high school outside Orlando. “So, we knew each other from choir competition, then I really got to know them after graduation,” Jacobson

said. “I started working together in this small professional community, which was Orlando’s theme park and recording community about 15 years ago. They’ve been together 20 years. Our newest member is Jesse Nunn, who we call J. None. He joined a few years ago.” The group has more than 700,000 YouTube followers. Jacobson said storytelling and a bit of comedy are part of the shows. For more, visit thecenterpresents. org.

Where’s Amy finds ‘Sweeney Todd’ a cut above History was made the weekend of Feb. 21-22 when Actors Theatre of Indiana partnered with 31 members of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and a chorus of 80 singers for the production of “Sweeney Todd” at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. The production was amazing. The audience was captivated by the talented actors and musicians. If you missed the production, be sure to get tickets to ATI’s next musical, “Damn Yankees,” April 24 to May 17, and CSO’s “Journey into Jazz” March 14 featuring Music Director Janna Hymes and bass player Edgar Meyer.

DISPATCHES IRT presents Agatha Christie play — The Indiana Repertory Theatre dives into the mysterious pages of the world’s best-selling author for its next production, Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express.” Adapted by Ken Ludwig, this ultimate whodunit runs March 3 to 29 on the OneAmerica Mainstage and is a co-production with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. Originally published in 1934, “Murder on the Orient Express” has been adapted into multiple radio plays, films and television programs, but the version by Ludwig, writer of “Lend Me a Tenor” and “The Game’s Afoot,” is the first stage adaptation. While the IRT has done multiple Agatha Christie mysteries through the years, Ludwig’s take will only be the IRT’s second play that features the Belgian master detective Hercule Poirot. The first was “Black Coffee” in 1989. “There is nothing more theatrical than the thriller, and no master better suited to creating stage-worthy thrillers than Agatha Christie,” IRT’s Margot Lacy Eccles

Artistic Director Janet Allen said. “Christie’s work has the uncanny ability to draw people from many different walks of life under her spell.” Returning to direct is Risa Brainin, IRT associate artistic director from 1997 to 2000, who also directed the 2017 nationally recognized production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” and last season’s “Holmes and Watson.” Sedaris set for Palladium visit — Author and humorist David Sedaris will bring his ironic wit and social satire to the Center for the Performing Arts in April. “An Evening with David Sedaris” begins at 7:30 p.m. April 21 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Tickets start at $45 and are available at thecenterpresents.org. Known initially for his contributions to “This American Life” and other public radio programs, Sedaris has penned many best-selling books of personal essays and short stories, including “Barrel Fever.”

Address: 1001 Broad Ripple Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Tacos Price: From $3.50 to $4.25 per taco Anna’s take: Tacos are probably my favorite food, and Cholita did not disappoint. It is a neat restaurant in Broad Ripple and a bit quieter than some of the other bars on the strip. I ordered three tacos: the Gringa ($3.85), a double flour tortilla cheese quesadilla with chicken, guacamole taquero, onion, cilantro and salsa morito; Grilled Adobo Shrimp ($3.95), with cabbage,

pickled veggies, pico de gallo and baja sauce on a corn tortilla; and the Norteño, which is skirt steak, pinto beans, guacamole taquero, arbol salsa and chihuahua cheese on a flour tortilla. They were exceptional and filling, and I can’t wait to return. Suggested pairings: Try the Cholita Margarita ($8) and order it spicy.

Behind bars: The Last Word Get it at 1933 Lounge, Fishers Ingredients: 1 oz. Journeyman Field Gin, 1 oz. green chartreuse, 1 oz. lime juice, 1 oz. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur Directions: Shake with ice and strain into glass.

Chill to these chili tips Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I had a reader ask me the difference between “chilly” and “chili” the other day. For the purposes of giving you your monGRAMMAR GUY ey’s worth, I’m going to go above and beyond here by exhausting all possible sources of confusion. Buckle up, buttercup. To clear up the most obvious one first, “Chilli” (uppercase “C” with two l’s) is the professional name for Rozanda Thomas, a singer from the ’90s girl group TLC. “Chilly” is an adjective that means “cold.” It’s a mild form of cold. You might say, “It’s chilly this morning; grab your heavy jacket.” If someone describes another person as “chilly,” that would mean that person is not very friendly. The character Angela Martin from “The Office” has a chilly disposition. A chili is a type of spicy pepper. In American English, we spell it with one “l,” while in British English the word gets two l’s. Originating in Mexico, chilis are used to add spice to food. If someone refers to “chili” as a food, they’re probably talking about “chili con carne.” In Cincinnati, people put their chili on top of spaghetti. Chile is a skinny, squiggly country in South America. One awesome thing about Chile is that you get the best of most people’s dream vacations: mountains and beaches. Last but not least, Chili’s is a popular casual restaurant where some of the best episodes of “The Office” take place. One thing I appreciate most about the Chili’s logo is that its apostrophe is formed by a chili pepper. I find that apostrophes spice up any good alphabet soup.

Visiting historic Old Delhi Commentary by Don Knebel Old Delhi should be a must-see for anyone visiting New Delhi, India. It is the one of the best placTRAVEL es to experience India as India. In 1639, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, best known for building the Taj Mahal, decided to move his capital from Agra to a new walled city 130 miles to the northwest. When completed 10 years later, the city, named Shahjahanabad (Shah Jahan’s City), featured a fortified palace now called the Red Fort. In 1650, Shah Jahan added Chandni Chowk (Moonlight Square), a massive bazaar west of the palace named for moonlight reflected by canals traversing the area. Between 1650 and 1656, 5,000 workers constructed Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque), accommodating 25,000 worshippers, south of the Red Fort. Shahjahanabad remained the capital of the Mughal Empire until 1857, when the British formally dissolved the empire after a rebellion centered at the Red Fort. They renamed the area Old Delhi. Today, the Red Fort and Jama Masjid have been restored, providing an opportunity to see great examples of Mughal architecture and to get a sense of the power of the Mughal Empire at its peak. For a small fee, visitors can climb the 130 narrow steps inside Jama Masjid’s southern minaret to get a view of all of Old Delhi and the most important buildings of New Delhi

to the west. But the most important part of a visit to Old Delhi is the opportunity to experience what makes India unique. Walking around Chandni Chowk, visitors can encounter everything from sons carrying their recently deceased father to the funeral pyre to men selling chickens caged on the backs of their bicycles. Everywhere are the smells of Indian cooking, the colors of women’s saris and the horns of the ubiquitous tuk-tuks (auto rickshaws). For me, to experience Old Delhi is to experience life.
