Legislators talk gun control laws

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Residents asked local state lawmakers what, if any, gun control legislation they can expect in the near future during GENERAL a recent legislative ASSEMBLY breakfast.

Boone County residents broached several topics at the Feb. 22 event at Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library. The breakfast was one of three such events held in recent months, where residents ask questions of local legislators during the General Assembly’s short session.

Republican Reps. Donna Schaibley and Jeff Thompson and Republican Sen. Brian Buchanan and Democrat Sen. J.D. Ford attended the breakfast, which was conducted two days after two fatal shootings in Indianapolis, including one in a Circle Centre Mall parking garage during the early afternoon.

A resident affiliated with Moms Demand Action, a national movement which supports public safety measures aimed to curtail gun violence,

asked the lawmakers what legislation they think could curb gun violence.

Schaibley authored House Bill 1651, a “red flag law” that passed last year.

Red flag laws refer to gun-control legislation that permits police or family to petition a state court to order the removal of firearms from a person

deemed to be dangerous.

The bill mandates that people deemed by a court to be dangerous cannot possess a firearm and outlines legal consequences for people who provide them with one.

Schaibley introduced gun legislation again this year in response to a 2018 Noblesville school shooting that injured one teacher and one student. The bill would make it illegal for a juvenile convicted of a felony to possess a firearm unless his or her record is expunged by a judge.

“It got a hearing, but it died on the floor,” Schaibley said. “I couldn’t get a vote on it.”

Schaibley said she was unaware of any other gun legislation introduced in this year’s short session.

“Issues like this, right or wrong, we probably don’t deal with in a short session,” said Thompson, who said he supports red flag laws.

“Let’s be blunt about it,” Thompson said. “Elections make a difference in when we do things. My take is, we are more likely (then) to tackle these issues involving anything with gun law change.”

New ZCS program sees results

The Zionsville Community Schools Board of Trustees was briefed on the success of the school system’s new customized learnCUSTOMIZED ing program at the trustees’ Feb. 24 LEARNING meeting.

“School systems often have students who do not fit the school system,” ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said.

“The customized learning program is a concerted effort to allow the school to fit the kids.”

The ZCS customized learning program was designed to meet the unique needs of students in the school system. It is only available to juniors and seniors in high school.

Examples of students who benefit from the program include those who have an internship in the middle of a

traditional school day, a student who wants to study abroad or a student struggling under their school schedule, ZCS Director of Customized Learning Experiences Nicole Chisley said.

Since its inception last semester, the program has resulted in 227 credits earned by students enrolled in the program. Robison said the number was one of the most important data points of the year because students in the program might not have earned any credits without it.

Thirty-six students are enrolled in the program.

The customized learning program includes an IUPUI partnership, a community service course, social and emotional workshops, a college and career exploration and/or internship course and a work-based employability standards course.

ZCS officials said the Lebanon Community School Corp. has expressed in-

terest in launching a similar program after the success of the ZCS program.

“You do school as school is done, or you’re not successful at school,” Robison said. “And those people tend to drop out or turn out or go somewhere else. Our effort is to keep them and ensure that they earn the credits, so it’s an effort to build programs within a school that fit the kids’ needs more directly. We do that for developing students in special education and those sorts of things as well as for gifted students who are a couple of standard deviations above the norm in their performance. But students sometimes just don’t fit. We have students here who want to be Olympic athletes who practice (for) an incredible amount of time.

“They don’t fit the traditional school schedule. We find ways to fit them through this particular program.”

A needs assessment launched in summer 2019 by the Community Foundation of BIG 4 TRAIL Boone County to see how it could take a leadership role in addressing areas of need is moving into its next phase.

Connect Boone County is a new initiative focused on bringing the communities of Boone County together to Reagan support the foundation in applying for grant funding to move the Big 4 Trail project forward.

Connect Boone County came about after the “idea of mobility” kept coming up at meetings and planning discussions.

“Being able to get around Boone County is important to many of our residents. The idea of mobility is regarding several different components

of transportation and seeing where Boone County will take residents each day,” CFBC Development & Communications Director Julie Reagan said.

“Transportation services, bikes, safe sidewalks – when discussing those pieces of the needs assessment, the Big 4 Trail came up and discussions went from there.”

The Big 4 Trail Master Plan is a collaborative effort between several community players, including the towns of Boone County, the Friends of Boone Gieti County Trails Board, Boone County, and the Boone County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

In 2019, the CFBC received a leadership planning grant through Lilly Endowment, Inc.’s initiative Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow. Through that, the foundation can apply for a $150,000 “Big Idea” grant, which would be used to help complete the Big 4 Trail project.

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.

ZCS educators travel the U.S. to gain historical perspective

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Forty Zionsville Community Schools educators visited Washington, D.C., and Montgomery, Ala., the weekend of Feb. 14 on a professional development trip that was, according to the COVER STORY district’s superintendent, a life-changing event for some.

The majority of educators were fifth- through 12th-grade teachers in the social studies departments. Middle school and high school administrators also attended.

In Washington, D.C., the group spent a full day touring the Holocaust, African American and the Native American museums. In Alabama, educators visited the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery. Reflective breakout sessions followed each visit.

The final day of the four-day trip, which began on a Friday and concluded on a Monday, was a professional development day for the school system.

“We had with us teachers who are history experts,” ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said. “And by going to these places (with) original-source documents and presentations about individual histories of folks who experienced the Holocaust, folks who experienced the Trail of Tears as Native Americans and enslaved peoples from the origins of slavery, they learned things they had never known, even as people who are teaching today.”

Robison said the trip helped educators gain perspective to “teach youth about the oppressions and exploitations of past humans, on other humans so that we might make it less in the future.”

Kris Devereaux, assistant superintendent of academics, planned and led the trip. In preparation for the 2020-21 school year, ZCS officials reviewed social studies materials and curriculum.

In planning the trip, Devereaux said it was important to focus on the overall educational takeaway “I think for all content areas, the No. 1 thing I want kids to walk away with is when they leave our school system is the ability to take any topic or issue that they come across and look at it as much as humanly possible in a 360-degree view,” Devereaux said. “What perspectives do I already know about? Which perspectives have I heard? And which perspectives are missing?”

While thinking about the goals, Devereaux pondered ways to integrate each into the school sys-

returning from a superintendent tour of some of the same locations in Montgomery. A proposal was then drafted and sent to the Zionsville Education Foundation. ZEF, in turn, funded the trip through its Looking Back to Look Forward grant backed by donors.

“Our foundation was just amazing,” Robison said.

“We knew that we would never have the resources to do this as a straight professional development-funded enterprise, so we knew that grants were going to be necessary, and this grant assisted us in getting it done.”

tem. And she thought a professional development trip for teachers would do just that.

“Every person that went (did so) with the lens of multiple perspectives,” Devereaux said. “Whose stories did we know? Whose stories did we not know? (Educators were) intentional about seeking out different perspectives that maybe were unfamiliar to them or that they really hadn’t heard about, thinking about what that means for us in the classroom.”

Robison and Devereaux first discussed the feasibility of a professional development trip when

Lyle Browne, executive director of the Zionsville Education Foundation, said the organization’s goal is to fund innovative ideas.

ZEF aims to encourage and fund creative educational ideas proposed by Zionsville Community Schools educators, but ZCS is the lowest-funded public school corporation per student in the state, according to ZEF. “Because we are the lowest funded in the state, it is harder to fund creative ideas and those extra projects,” Browne said.

ZEF funds creative ideas with grants backed by donors.

Examples of recent initiatives funded by ZEF grants include laptop programs, equipment for a student-run video production studio, materials supporting a schoolwide literature study and financial support for artists-in-residence.

ESSAY

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.

In CAR T-cell therapy, blood is drawn from a patient to isolate T-cells, the powerhouses of the body’s immune system.

Mental Health America of Boone County recently launched the inititative to distribute the cards across the county — in businesses, libraries, municipal buildings –with the goal of spreading awareness of its services that support Boone County residents in crisis. The cards, which are the same size as a business card, have motivational and supportive messages on one side and the nonprofit’s contact information on the other.

A sampling of messages include “Make the most of this day,” “You are amazing” and “Don’t give up.”

Mental Health America of Boone County President Pascal Fettig said the messages are encouraging in cold winter months when residents are more likely to experience seasonal mood slumps. He said the cards let residents know they matter.

Zionsville Cryotherapy, operated

by Correct2Compete at 10730 Bennett Pkwy., now offers RECOVERY whole-body cryotherapy as a part of Correct2Compete’s services for members and nonmembers.

The business, which specializes in golf and sports performance, added the unit in December 2019.

Cryotherapy involves immersing and exposing the body to extremely cold air for a few minutes by entering a chamber unit with little clothing, triggering the body’s natural healing mechanisms. While blood accumulates in a person’s core to keep them warm at the low temperatures, white blood cells rush to outer limbs and start the body’s natural healing process, accoding to C2C. Cryotherapy benefits people who want to supplement athletic performance through muscle recovery, according to C2C staff. It also benefits non athletes seeking to reduce chronic pain. Proponents say regular cryotherapy increases their energy levels and metabolic rate.

The recovery method has become popular among elite athletes and has now caught on with the general public.

“We’ve always been a big proponent of recovery and sports performance,” C2C manager Rik Cross said. “We have a couple of the older population using it for their sleep and day-to-day lives. One guy in particular has had quad soreness his entire life and has been using the cryotherapy for the last three weeks and doesn’t have any of that soreness (anymore).”

Zionsville Cryotherapy is accessible to the public. Memberships aren’t required to take classes at C2C to use the cryotherapy unit. First-time guests are charged $25 for their first visit. After the initial visit, packages or individual sessions can be purchased.

Prices range from $60 for a single session to $700 for 20 sessions. Unlimited monthly sessions are available for $289. C2C members receive a 10 percent discount.

DISPATCHES Lying about money — A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way.

More than three-quarters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money.

Source: Finder.com Reducing debt should be a priority — Americans’ number-one finan-

cial goal for 2018 seems a laudable one — reducing the amount of debt they owe, with more than half of the people in a recent representative survey, 53 percent, describing that as their top priority. 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.

Zionsville West’s Casciani tackles challenge of playing ‘Mary Poppins’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville West Middle School eighth-grader Isabel Casciani embraces the title role of “Mary Poppins” for multiple MUSICAL reasons.

“I think it’s a cool role because on the surface she seems like a perfect nanny,” Casciani said. “She is actually quirky.

It’s cool to step in the shoes of someone who is almost magical.

It’s really fun. I also like the time the musical is set in. It’s fun to step back in time and pretend to be in England.”

Zionsville West will present “Mary Poppins Jr.” March 13-14 at the school. Performances are 7 p.m.

March 13 and 2 and 7 p.m. March 14.

“The accent is tough, but luckily I have British (maternal) grandparents and they were able to help with that,” Casciani said. “I have an ear for it, luckily.”

This is the first time she has attempted a British accent on stage.

Another challenge is breath support while singing.

“It’s tough breathing with the songs,” Casciani said.

Casciani appeared in the title role of Christian Youth Theater’s production of “Peter Pan” in February. She played Fiona in Jr. Civic Theatre’s production of “Shrek, the Musical” in June 2019.

“Mary Poppins” is one of Casciani’s favorites. She enjoys the 1964 Disney movie starring Julie Andrews in the title role.

“My parents never really liked to watch it because it’s so long, but I always insisted on watching the movie,” she said. “I really liked Julie Andrews when I was little. I’ve seen it a few times with my friends in it.

I saw it at Civic Theatre. My good friend (Ben Kistner) played Michael Banks (in the 2018-19 season).”

Choral Director Julianne Boyd, who is directing the school musical for the second time, said the students are excited about the production.

“With the recent arrival of the second movie, ‘Mary Poppins Returns,’ the original heart-warming story is fresh and alive once again,” she said. “It is also a great show for our varying age range of fifth- to eight-grade students. There are kid and adult roles that allow students across all grades to have leading roles, which is not always the case with some musicals.”

This is the first time Zionsville West has done the musical.

“We chose ‘Mary Poppins Jr.’ be-

cause of the large cast size and to contrast with the musical style and time period of last year’s show,” said Boyd, referring to “High School Musical.” “We’ve had so much with the accents and telling the story of Jane and Michael Banks’ lives in London. The biggest challenge of this show has been how big it is.

Everything from the music to the set to the costumes has been such a labor of love.

“Thankfully, we have a very supportive school community and parent volunteers that have gone above and beyond to help create this beautiful production.”

Seating is general admission only. Ticket sales begin one hour before each show. They are $5 for students, $8 for adults and $25 for families.

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

VoicePlay members, from left, Earl Elkins, Geoff Castellucci, Eli Jacobson, Jesse Nunn and Layne Stein. (Submitted photo)

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.

Sibling authors John and Hank Green will present a live version of their “Dear Hank and PODCAST John” podcast March 10 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. All proceeds will support efforts to reduce child and maternal mortality in the African nation of Sierra Leone.

In October 2019, John launched a $25 million fundraising initiative for Partners in Health Sierra Leone for improved health care in the country, where 1 in 17 women die in childbirth.

“The Dear Hank and John, The Anthropocene Reviewed” show features the siblings answering questions, offering “dubious advice” and bringing all the week’s news from Mars and AFC Wimbledon as well as other secret surprises.”

“Hank and I are on tour to raise money toward stronger health care

systems in impoverished communities, especially where maternal and child mortality are highest,” John said.

“We are really excited to perform at The Tarkington Theater so close to my hometown. As much as I enjoy traveling with Hank to perform around the world, my favorite shows are always at home.”

It will be the brothers’ third joint appearance locally.

The “Dear Hank and John” show is 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $40 and available at thecenterpresents.org/tickets-events/events/1920/rental-events/ minotour-2020/.

Foodies unite on Facebook

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Chris Pike moved to Noblesville in August 2019 from a Boston suburb.

He was surprised when he FOOD couldn’t find any Facebook food groups for Hamilton County. So, he started one.

Hamilton County Eats and Drinks launched Dec. 22, 2019. It attracted 500 members in the first week. Now, it’s at approximately 2,000 members.

“There are 40 to 50 (Facebook groups) back home, and I was baffled there weren’t any here,” Pike said.

“People like to go out to eat and talk about their food and take pictures and put it on their own timeline, but now you have a whole group of people who can interact with foodies.”

Pike said the exposure is beneficial for restaurants. Although he’s a chef at Deer Creek Pub and Bistro in Noblesville, he doesn’t mind when group members post about other restaurants.

“I’ve found a lot of places I wouldn’t

ever have found without this page,” Pike said. “It helps people be aware of what’s available for them.”

Restaurants frequently post their menus and food photos, and diners also post pictures and reviews.

Posts can be from areas outside of Hamilton County. Group membership is free.

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.”

Cholita Tacos From left, Adobo Shrimp, Norteño and Gringa Tacos. (Photo by Anna Skinner) 2/23/20 5:45 PM

Commentary by Anna Skinner 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

The Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting historic Old Delhi Commentary by Don Knebel Old Delhi should be a must-see for anyone visiting New Delhi, India. It is one of the best places 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.

I had a reader ask me the difference between “chilly” and “chili” the other day. For the purposes of giving you GRAMMAR GUY your money’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.
