County historian talks women’s history

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Historian David Heighway recently presented on promHISTORICAL SOCIETY inent women in the county to commemorate Women’s History Month.

The Feb. 19 presentation was part of a program for the Westfield Washington Historical Society.

“We are looking at women’s history in the county, particularly the history of women’s rights,” Heighway said.

“There actually was a lot of movement toward that. This was a county that was open-minded about a lot of that stuff.”

Heighway first discussed Mekinges, a Native American princess in the Delaware Lenape tribe, who was the first wife of William Conner, founder of Hamilton County. When the tribe moved further west, Mekingese went with it and Conner remained in Hamilton County.

“Three months after the first wife left, he married his second wife, Elizabeth Chapman,” Heighway said. “It’s interesting because he died in 1855, and she lives until 1891. In the 1880s, she was applying for pensions to the veterans’ bureau for his service in the War of 1812 and she (issued a) statement saying there was no first marriage.”

Heighway also shared information about Martha White Talbert, a Westfield woman who kept a diary. A copy of the diary is stored in the Hamilton East Public Library’s Noblesville branch.

“It talked about the Underground Railroad, and there’s a passage in there where we think she might be talking about helping slaves,” Heighway said. “One thing she was very interested in was the right to vote, and she mentioned early in the diary about participating in the political process. The women of Westfield had a very strong-minded attitude. They had their own way of doing things.

“They were always coming up with various things they were working on, whether it was abolitionism with the Underground Railroad or rather it was temperance.”

Heighway said the suffrage movement began in Westfield in 1869, when the first women’s rights society in the county was formed. A local newspaper in Noblesville encouraged the women to write a weekly column.

Topics included equal pay for equal work and women finding the best possible representatives.

“Women were actually involved in Hamilton County in this time period as postmasters and station agents,” Heighway said.

Heighway also mentioned local women who ventured into creative jobs, such as Alice Armstrong, who developed a window latch at age 75, and Berta Jones, a playwright who wrote and produced a play staged in Noblesville.

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.

Never will we stop investigating ways by which we can improve your reading experience.

Nonprofits share missions

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This was no ordinary Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

There was no guest speaker, only voices from 28 nonCHAMBER profit representatives at separate tables sharing their missions. Westfield Chamber of Commerce President Nick Verhoff said it was the fourth year of the Share the Love luncheon, which was held Feb. 20 at the IMMI Conference Center.

“We capped it at 28 because it would get too confusing after that,” Verhoff said. “We want to let the community know what nonprofits are out there, and they come from all different causes. I believe, in particular, the business community funds a lot of these nonprofits. Westfield businesses are very giving of their time and resources.

“A lot of the nonprofits depend on the networking and making connection with the businesses. We try to do this to facilitate that.”

Prevail primary prevention specialist Sara Roorbach said being able to share Prevail’s mission is important.

“A lot of people think we only help people in Noblesville because we are based there,” Roorbach said. “We love to get out into the community, even just over to Westfield. It’s not that far. Being able to converse with other business leaders and other nonprofits is so valuable to us to spread the word of our mission, (to) really get the word out to people that need our services.”

Roorbach said most people recognize Prevail for the work it does with survivors.

“We also have a huge focus on preventing these things from happening,” she said.

Roorbach is the coordinator of the Prevail 100 Men program.

“It’s a group of 100 men who are passionate about ending violence and saying this type of behavior is not OK,” she said. “We want to set the standard for how men should be

treating women and how men should be acting. We want to hold each other accountable and learn from each other.”

Main Street Productions President John Sampson shared information about plans for the new Westfield Playhouse.

“The response has been overwhelming,” Sampson said.

Sampson said he has been part of Share the Love before, but the interest has been higher because of the new building, which is supposed to open in August or September. The new venue will have 180 seats.

Janice Chavers, a board of directors member for The Cabin Counseling & Resource Center, opened a Westfield center in 2019. The Cabin opened its first site in Zionsville in 1999.

“It’s been a welcoming, loving community,” Chavers said. “We come to events like this because we want everyone to know we are here to serve the community, and we have a Samaritan Fund for people who can’t afford to pay for care. We can help.

We never turn people away because they can’t afford mental health care.

We say we serve for ages 3 to 9, but we certainly wouldn’t turn a 104-yearold away.”

Cool Creek tortoise missing from nature center

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Cool Creek Park and Nature Center’s Russian tortoise Sputnik is missing. Cool Creek staff believe he was stolen from his tank PARKS the weekend before President’s Day. Supt. Of Natural Resources Amanda Smith said an employee fed Sputnik on Feb. 15 and saw him in his tank.

However, when staff turned off the lights and shut down the nature center that evening, tanks were not checked because it is not standard to do so. On Feb. 16, a staff member put food in the tank but did not see Sputnik. The nature center was closed on President’s Day. Staff realized Sputnik was missing the morning of Feb. 18 Smith said due to the depth of the tank and type of tank lid, there is no way the tortoise could have escaped his enclosure.

Sputnik is 8 inches long and 6 inches wide. He was given to the center by a local family and is estimated to be 10 years old. Russian tortoises can live to be 40 years old. In a post on the center’s Facebook platform, the tortoise is described as happy and healthy.

“He is well taken care of by our staff, receiving well-researched and prepared vegetables daily, regular tank cleaning, access to sunlight, proper UV lights, and vet care,” the post reads. “We’d like to ask our community for help in locating and in the return of Sputnik to us. He is missed and we are concerned for his well-being.”

Smith said no animals have been taken from Cool Creek before, but there was some suspicious activity a few years ago.

“We had a situation where a group of people were asking a lot of questions about turtles and where they can buy them, and later we notice they were putting their hands in (the tank),” Smith said. “They claimed they were just trying to pet the turtle, but it definitely seemed suspicious.”

Smith said people sometimes are upset at the idea of animals in captivity, but she said Sputnik is a non-native tortoise and cannot be released into the wild.

“It’s hard for me to imagine what their thought process was, but we have had people come in and been troubled by animals in captivity.

They feel sorry for it, but this animal cannot survive on its own in the wild,” Smith said. “They’re not native to Indiana. They would have no idea how to adjust to our climate or what to eat, so he can’t be released. So, if someone had that interest in saving him from something, it’s important to understand that.”

Smith said Sputnik is a program animal comfortable in front of groups.

“Some animals don’t do well in front of groups or they are too shy or nervous, but Sputnik was not one of those tortoises,” Smith said. “We hope they understand he has comfortable accommodations here.”

Smith said Cool Creek Park and Nature Center will consider improving its security.

“We want to make sure we can protect all of (the animals) as best as possible,” she said. “If anyone has any details, we are just interested in getting him back.”

Historical society preserves 1830s Westfield cabin

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield Washington Historical Society President Diana Peyton stresses the group isn’t a preservation society, but that didn’t dissuade it from taking the initiative to preserve COVER STORY a log cabin built in the 1830s.

The historic structure was earmarked for demolition to pave the way for a housing development.

“I’ve known about the cabin for years and years and years. A lot of the community has,” Peyton said.

“It was in a barn on Shady Nook Road.”

A barn was built around the cabin roughly 100 years ago, near what is now Shady Nook Road, a mile north of Ind. 32.

Langston Development is constructing a housing development on the cabin site and planned to tear it down. The developers didn’t know about the cabin, but when they learned of the history, they told Peyton the WWHS had two weeks to remove it from the property.

“So, I tried to get ahold of Conner Prairie, but they couldn’t do anything that quickly,” Peyton said. “I tried everything, and I said, ‘You know what? We are just going to have to do it,’” Peyton said.

WWHS hired a contractor to deconstruct the cabin. A historian assisted in the process. “(The historian) said, ‘This is what needs to be done,’ and we felt like we didn’t have the expertise and we didn’t have the people to take it down, so I hired a contractor, and they came in,” Peyton said.

“Kudos to Langston Development. Those folks were absolutely amazing. They helped take the barn down, too, and they helped us and the contractor, and they cut our cost in less than half by helping.”

The WWHS spent $8,000 on the project. The original estimate was $15,000.

The WWHS and City of Westfield officials, including Mayor Andy Cook, agreed to relocate the cabin on city property.

The log cabin was built in the 1830s using native lumber. (Submitted photos)

A barn was built around the cabin.

“It will be an amenity for the community,” Peyton said. “It’s going to be reconstructed, and you’ll be able to have birthday parties or weddings or meetings in there.”

Two unnamed sites are being evaluated. The cabin has been fully deconstructed and is stored in the barn behind City Hall.

“This happened so quickly, and we had two weeks to get it down, so our focus was to get it saved and put to bed, get it preserved,” Peyton said.

Now, the society will begin fundraising to restore the cabin. The estimated cost is $100,000.

“Hopefully, we will have it rebuilt this year or the first of next year, but its final resting place has not been decided,” Peyton said.

When it is rebuilt, Peyton expects the cabin will have a fireplace and new wood, among other improvements. Bids will be taken in the next few weeks.

“This is the biggest project we have ever in our history taken on,” Peyton said. “We are the historical society and not the preservationist group, but this is something (important). I have shed more tears over this cabin. I wanted this cabin so bad for the city and so bad for our community, and our township, too. This is so significant to the beginnings of Westfield, we just have to preserve it and put it back up.

“It’s going to be a teaching tool. We have schools come into the museum, and this will be an amenity and kids can see this is a log cabin and this is how people lived.”

For more, visit wwhs.us.

ABOUT THE CABIN The Westfield Washington Historical Society estimates the cabin was built between 1832 and 1835 by Nicholas Barker. Barker was from North Carolina.

“The reason he moved (to Westfield) was because he was against slavery. We have more research to do, but we think he was a conductor of the Underground Railroad,” WWHS President Diana Peyton said.

The cabin is 22 feet by 20 feet with a partial second floor. Some of the logs are 26 inches tall.

“Our historian said this is all native lumber, taken right there from the land,” Peyton said.

“This cabin is so, so important to us.”

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.

How to heal heel pain

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.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com Air pollution and dementia – A large new study provides evidence that invisible air pollution such as that emitted by cars, trucks and power plants might be responsible for more than 1 in 5 cases of dementia. This is because microscopic particles generated by fossil fuels get into our bodies directly - they go from your nose right into your brain. Cells in the brain treat these particles as invaders and react with inflammatory responses.

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Stabbing, aching, sharp shooting and feeling like a stone bruise – these are some of the FEET terms patients use to describe heel pain, especially on their first few steps out of bed or off the couch at the end of the day.

The symptoms usually happen when there are mechanical issues with their feet, or they have added stress in some way.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common heel pain diagnosis. It is caused by excessive physical stress to the plantar fascia, a strong, wide ligament that stretches from the heel to the ball of the foot.

Pain is often worse after any amount of rest because the fascia contracts when at rest from a physically demanding activity.

When weight is placed on the foot, it naturally wants to flatten out, but the tight fascia does not want to stretch out adequately. This leads to

over-pulling on the heel bone, where it attaches, or sometimes the arch, and this is what causes the intense pain.

Plantar fasciitis can be caused by one or a combination of the following: poor foot mechanics, tight calf muscles, weight gain, prolonged stance or walking, uneven terrain, shoes without support, new exercise routine or excessive barefoot walking.

If untreated for several months, the inflamed tissue thickens like scar tissue. Most patients respond very well to conservative treatment, with less than 3 percent requiring surgical intervention.

Clay Terrace recently announced that three businesses will open at the shopping center this RETAIL spring.

The new stores are Sephora, O’Child Children’s Boutique and Rose & Remington. Other recently opened stores include lululemon, X-Golf, SPENGA and F45.

“These retailers continue to diversify the tenant mix at Clay Terrace and provide new products, services and experiences for our shoppers,” said Jennifer Jones, general manager at Clay Terrace. “O’Child is an Indiana-based children’s clothing, accessories and gifts boutique that carries great brands like Kickee Pants and Isobella & Chloe. Rose & Remington offers our guests great retail therapy. Whether a guest is shopping for contemporary clothing, new home décor or a gift, Rose & Remington will be the spot to find it. The Sephora store at Clay Terrace will offer many of the same brands that customers find at other Sephora stores in Indiana, but they will also offer other brands unique to the Clay Terrace location.

In addition, the store will host special in-store events all year round.”

The addition of Sephora marks the third location of the makeup and beauty retailer in the state with

other stores at The Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing and at Greenwood Park Mall. The store will be between Altard’d State and Sur La Table on Clay Terrace’s west side and is set to open in early May. O’Child Children’s Boutique, which will be between EVEREVE and Eddie Bauer on Clay Terrace’s east side, will carry clothing, toys and gifts for babies, toddlers and children up to age 14. The store is set to open this month.

Rose & Remington – between lululemon and American Eagle near the northwest edge of Clay Terrace – specializes in women’s fashion. In addition to clothing, the store will sell jewelry, handbags, candles and more. The store also allows customers to host giveback events to support local nonprofits. The store will open in late spring.

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.

Steampunk, showtunes focus of inaugural fundraiser

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com An Indy-based theater company is working to support, create and promote new art. Fat Turtle Theatre was founded in NEW SHOW 2017, and creator Aaron Cleveland said he quickly defined its mission.

“Fat Turtle was created to explore what was missing from the Indianapolis area when it comes to live theater,” he said. “After testing theories during the first year, (we) found out that what was missing was an environment which developed and nurtured new works.”

During the next three weekends, Fat Turtle Theatre will stage “This Is Us: An Inspirational Broadway Steampunk Cabaret.” Shows are set for March 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at Switch Theatre at 10029 E. 126th St. in Fishers.

“Fat Turtle wanted to hold a different type of fundraiser to introduce ourselves to a new audience,” Cleveland said. “Our mission focuses on playwrights in the Indianapolis area, and while we like to focus on new works, sometimes new art can be a risky concept, especially to those that only have a certain amount of time and budget to seek out entertainment.

“We hope that by hosting a fun event like this that our supporters will have the chance to bring the family out and help us develop new playwrights in Indianapolis.”

Cleveland, an Indianapolis resident, is Fat Turtle’s managing director. Noblesville resident Andrea Odle will direct. Nicole Amsler, also a Noblesville resident, is the playwright.

“Theatre strives to have great costumes for any production,” Odle said. “(I) chose steampunk because

the costumes are over-the-top and elaborate, exactly what you want in a theatrical production. So many venues do a revue/cabaret, and I wanted Fat Turtle’s to stand out from the crowd.”

Shannon Lowes Rice, a Fishers resident, created the steampunk costumes and accessories for the entire cast. Audience members are encouraged to wear steampunk costumes as well.

“The audience will not only be visually stimulated by the lights, costumes and makeup, but also by the songs that are meant to tug at your heartstrings, either through endearment or laughter,” Odle said. “There are also several surprise elements, which will delight audiences.”

Besides Cleveland, cast members are Richelle Dixon Lutz, Kaitlyn Kinn, Tessa Gibbons, Jennifer Kaufman, Jennifer Poynter, Brad Root, Jackson Stollings and Jessica Hawkins. The production also has six members in the musical pit and a 10-member technical crew.

“My vision has taken off in ways I

couldn’t even begin to imagine,” Odle said. “When you work with a talented team, the show keeps exceeding expectations. The music is amazing, performed by our talented cast and arranged by our musical director, Linda Parr.”

Later this spring, Fat Turtle Theatre will present the first-ever, fulllength New Play Festival. Fat Turtle will partner with IndyFringe on Mass Ave to introduce four new plays across two weekends, May 8-17.

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.

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.”

“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

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.

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 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

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 TRAVEL 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

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.

For a small fee, Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) visitors can climb the 130 narrow or at curtishoneycutt.com. 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 CELEBRATION OF LIFE EVENT: to the funeral pyre to men selling
