Boone County Commissioners consider virtual program to share key COVID information

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Commissioners have announced they will consider a targeted virtual program to distribPANDEMIC ute information about the county’s efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Initial ideas for the proposed program include recording interviews with county officials, such as the county’s three commissioners, Boone County Health Dept. officials and possibly Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen, and sharing them on social media platforms. Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said the commissioners would share more information on the proposed program during commissioners meetings this month.

“It would be a 10-15 minute video that we could put out on social media helping people understand where we are with COVID and other issues facing the county,” Wolfe

said during the commissioner’s Dec. 28, 2020 meeting. “This proposal is for each one of these interviews costing about $350. We are hoping to receive the grant for education that we think will be a good fit for this type of program, and we think we should do this every three to four weeks.”

Wolfe said the county wants to create a personalized message for residents “with faces to put with names.”

The commissioners approved the initial $350 payment for the program, which they said would be paid for with county CARES Act funds.

“We’re already doing a lot, but we want to up the communications,” Boone County Commissioner Tom Santelli said during the meeting.

Approval for the program’s first payment was granted the same day residents and staff of long-term care facilities in the county began receiving COVID-19 vaccinations from local pharmacies.

Boone County to provide recovery and addiction services

Boone County entered a contract with Integrated Wellness, LLC, and Aspire Indiana Health that will provide TREATMENT recovery and addiction services to interested male and female inmates. The program was set to begin Jan. 4.

Integrated Wellness, also known as InWell, will provide services to the county’s male inmate population, and Aspire will provide services to its female inmate population. Both companies have locations in Boone County and provide therapeutic and mental health services.

InWell has provided services in the county jail for several years. The company’s director, Lynnette Clark, said, the contract will create a new program called the Boone County Intensive Correctional Treatment Program.

“A big thing that (Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen) has put emphasis on in the last several years has been continuity of care,” Clark said. “This program is designed that

way for two reasons. Both Aspire and InWell are local providers, so since they will have had an assessment inside the facility, upon their release date they will be able to easily continue outpatient service treatment with our respective agencies if they choose to.”

Therapists and peer support specialists will deliver a range of services for people in recovery. The curriculum for people entering the program includes psychotherapy in a group setting, daily living skills, recovery plans and relapse prevention, among other services. The program’s curriculum includes several hours each week focusing on different subjects, such as dealing with anger or establishing relationship boundaries.

“In addition, we will be providing after-care groups to people who finish these group services so they will be able to stay connected ongoing,” Clark said. “They will go through that phase of treatment, but they can continue to come back as long as they want as alumni to continue to have that support for themselves and also be able to provide that support for people who are going through that phase of treatment in the program.”

Starting Jan. 11, the BCHD will be tasked with immunizing residents in Phase 1b of the county’s vaccination plan. Residents who will receive vaccines during the phase, according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include people 75 and older and front-line essential workers who were not vaccinated in Phase 1a.

BCHD Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Tom Ryan said the BCHD will distribute vaccinations during Phase 1b from Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. But he said the department’s hours would be determined by the amount of vaccine the county receives.

“Chances are, at the beginning we won’t be able to run all these hours,” Ryan said.

“We’re probably looking at February or March before we are going to have enough vaccine to fill all those hours.”

DISPATCHES Volunteers needed to administer vaccines — The Boone County Health Dept. is seeking volunteers to assist in the county’s effort to vaccinate residents.

Those interested should contact BCHD Administrator and Nursing and Vital Records Director Lisa Younts at 765-4823942 or lyounts@co.boone.in.us.

County agency modifications – Operations of many

Don’t wait Get the surgical care your child needs

Boone County offices have been modified due to the spread of COVID-19 within the community. The county assessor’s and treasurer’s offices are closed to the public. These changes will remain until further notice.

The following county agencies will only be open to in-person visits by appointment only, though phone and email appointments are encouraged: adult probation, area plan, auditor’s office, clerk’s office, commissioners’ office, community corrections, guardian ad-litem, health department, highway department, juvenile probation, maintenance, prosecutor’s office, recorder’s office, soil and water district, solid waste district and surveyor’s office. The county courts and sheriff’s office will operate as normal. Further inquiries regarding office availability should be addressed to the respective offices.

Blood needed – Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is issuing an emergency appeal for blood donations as communities throughout the state face a potential crisis.

Ideally, Versiti strives for a three-day supply of blood for its partner hospitals. Schools and businesses are typically Versiti’s largest source of blood donations this time of year. Because of remote work and virtual schooling, many of those drives have been canceled. Compared to an average year, donations have been cut by more than 50 percent – nearly 20,000 units of blood. Blood donors are needed now, Versiti officials say, to help ensure life-saving blood is available for Hoosiers who need it.

O-negative and O-positive blood donors are most needed now.

Your child’s surgery is important and shouldn’t be delayed.

Putting off care could make their condition worse. We know you may have concerns about coming into a hospital or doctor’s office at this time. Our caregivers are fully prepared to care for your child, with strict precautions in place for your child’s safety — and the safety of your family — while in our care.

Some of the extra steps to help keep your child safe before, during and after surgery:

• COVID-19 testing for your child to ensure their safety • Online check-in for day of surgery • Limiting visitors and following CDC guidelines • Virtual connections with friends and family to keep loved ones updated with your child’s progress

• Review of post-op information for your child’s recovery and instructions for going home

• Virtual options for follow-up care

Zionsville launches Wayfinding Master Plan news@currentinzionsville.com Zionsville wants to know how residents get around town via its Wayfinding Master Plan public input survey.

SURVEY The Town of Zionsville has launched the Zionsville Wayfinding Master Plan to direct residents and visitors to town amenities, attractions and businesses. The Wayfinding Master Plan has long been a recommendation of previous planning efforts and ties into the Zionsville Gateway Area plan that is under way, according to town officials.

“With this plan, we will create a thematic signage program that connects pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles with the village business district and other shopping areas, parks, trails and community attractions,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated. “The

goal is to create a clear and attractive network that is easy to navigate and to foster a sense of place.”

To learn more about the project and complete a survey, visit GettingAroundZville. com. Anyone interested can take the survey.

Public input meetings will be held at Zionsville Town Hall at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Jan. 28. Content during both meetings will be the same.

“We want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to provide their input,” Planning and Economic Development Director Wayne DeLong stated. “We want to know where you take visitors, how you get there and what places you have difficulty navigating to.”

For more, contact town project manager Owen Young at 317-495-8396 or oyoung@ zionsville-in.gov.

CLOSING TIME Serenity closes its Zionsville location

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com After 12 years in business, Serenity owner Karin Glass closed the restaurant’s Zionsville location on Dec. 31. Serenity will, however, continue to operate as a delivery business, Serenity To-Go, and as a tea room, The Secret Serenity Tea Room, in Irvington beginning Feb. 5.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the financial strain it put on business was the primary reason for closing Serenity, Glass said. Many of her customers couldn’t dine at Serenity because of health concerns, so Glass had to refund thousands of dollars in deposits for weddings, Christmas parties and other canceled events.

Prior to the pandemic, Glass said 2020 was on track to be the restaurant’s best year because every weekend was booked for an event.

“When you don’t have fourth-quarter business, the first quarter looks pretty bleak,” Glass said. “My landlord and I agreed it would probably not be in our best interest to carry on.”

Glass, a longtime entrepreneur, found early success with a business she sold to a subsidiary of Time Warner in 1999.

In 2005, Glass started delivering pre-packaged, healthy meals in coolers, calling the business Occasions Devine.

The success inspired her to open Serenity three years later, which focused on healthy meals, along with other busi-

nesses that operate under the Occasions Devine umbrella: Fun Pop-Up Parties, Dinner Devine, Manners Up, Occasions Devine Catering and, now, Serenity To-Go, a successor to Serenity.

Because of the pandemic, Glass focused on her other businesses when social distancing and other mitigation procedures dissuaded diners from visiting Serenity. She found success with her Dinner Devine business, which has a take-and-bake business model. Customers buy premade meals that only need to be heated before eating.

“Dinner Devine needs a kitchen because it’s assembling things, it’s not baking things,” Glass said. “We deliver all over central Indiana, and (Serenity’s Zionsville) kitchen is really for a tea room. It’s not for that.”

Glass plans to continue providing Serenity’s offerings by moving its commercial kitchen to Irvington United Methodist Church. The church’s large fellowship hall will allow Glass to continue teaching dining education. The Secret Serenity Tea Room will be in the church’s choir loft. It will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday and staffed by church members raising money for its missions.

Serenity To-Go, which specializes in chicken salad, soups and paninis, will sell food at Roasted in the Village, a coffee shop at 27 E. Pine St. “That should help (their) business, and it will help my business, so people will still be able to get it,” Glass said.

Glass said she will continue to host events, such as her

Murder Mysteries, where diners compete to solve a mystery during multi-course meals.

“There’s a lot of businesses on Main Street that are feeling the pain, and all small businesses are struggling,” Glass said. “But if people won’t walk in your door because they are worried about getting the virus, then what are you going to do? So I just swiveled and made it different. I just won’t have a physical building here.

“It really is not a profitable model in a pandemic until people feel comfortable, if ever, going out and breaking out of nursing homes and all of those things that need to happen.”

For more, visit occasionsdivine.com/catering.

FILLING THE SPACE Dr. Greg Merrell, a hand surgeon who has a practice at the Indiana Hands to– Shoulder Center and owns the building Serenity occupied, said he is unsure what will take Serenity’s place at 135 S. Main St. “Karin was a great tenant for a long time, and I’m sorry to see her go,” Merrell said. “It’s definitely another COVID causality kind of thing, which is tough for the town.”

Merrell said he hopes to find a use for the roughly 15,000-square-foot space that benefits the town and complements Main Street.

Keep the memories

Thank you, Terry Anker Editor, I thank your columnist, Terry Anker, for all of his comments and writings in Current in Carmel. It seems that there’s an otherwise increasing amount of negativity, or at least that what gets the most attention. I find his columns to be refreshing and appreciate his willingness to incorporate a thread of faith in his messages.

Jeff Hess, Carmel

Commentary by Terry Anker With the new year, most of us pack away the trappings of the season. The sparkling lights, ribbons, bells and bows are secreted back into attics, basements and storage garages, leaving our homes looking a bit like some postGrinch apocalypse. Bereft of the colorful lighted swags, the tiny nails that held them remind us of their absence. Still, even as the coming of the holiday season brings with it a certain joy, so, too, does the passing of its parade.

Don’t misunderstand, there is no bah humbug here. It is good to celebrate with those we hold most dear through our gloomiest days. The gleaming candlelight, to borrow a phrase, still shining bright helps remind us of the hopeful light yet to come. Perhaps this year, as much as ever, we can use the marker that the dark days are limited, and with each, we move closer to the warming hours of spring.

But as we vacuum the final stubborn pine needles from under the sofa, have we really managed to take away all of the stories of the season? Can we? Do we even want to erase them? With each year comes a set of memories, some good and others maybe more difficult, but each, through the rose-colored filter of nostalgia, will bring us back to this time. It may have been the last year in the old house, or with that terrific dog, Duke, or, sigh, the last time that Grandma was able to be with us. Canasta was played and terrible, terrible cranberry sauce was made.

But just as the fruit was cold, the memories are warm. The laughter, the tears and the togetherness seem to matter. Even if we pack the accoutrements, why would we pack away the memories? Does anyone decorate for Groundhog Day?

Can always blame COVID Commentary by Danielle Wilson Dare I make resolutions for 2021? Though I’ve shied away from these in recent years, I believe this might be the perHUMOR fect moment to try again. Coming off 2020, there shouldn’t be any real expectations of achievement, right? And like we’ve done now for several months, we can always blame COVID-19 for our failures. All things considered, then, dare I shall!

My first resolution is to be nicer to my husband, Doo. This is often challenging because, as an introvert, I desperately crave alone time amid quiet surroundings. Doo, on the other hand, is a fast-and-furious extrovert who loves to engage 24/7. Not surprisingly, I occasionally shut him down with eye rolls, snarky comments and just plain rudeness. I’m not mean on purpose; it’s an instinctual, genetic, automatic response: “Must protect sanity!” So, that’s No. 1, “Be kinder to Doo.” For my second resolution, I will attempt

to be a better daughter. I’ve never been great with phoning home, but now that my father is gone, it’s been even harder to check in with my mother. I much prefer living in my own little world where Dad is still alive to being confronted with the pain of his absence whenever I talk to Mom. But that’s not healthy, and it’s extraordinarily selfish, so No. 2 is, “Call Mom every Sunday.”

I won’t promise to cuss less or eat healthier or, god forbid, hug more freely (there’s a pandemic raging, people!), but I will dare to meet the aforementioned New Year’s resolutions. Good luck with your own in 2021. And if you fail, remember to blame COVID. I know I will.

Peace out.

Editor, For those of you who haven’t availed yourself of the many normal hardware items and services provided by Kirk Hardware (in downtown Noblesville), you might want to consider it.

They probably have the best stock of small fasteners of anyone in the area.

But the real bonus at Kirk are the many services the owner, Bill, a Vietnam veteran, developed, such as screen and window as well as lamp repair.

Food for thought Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’ve missed doing a number of things this year. I used to love going to the movies with my wife, going out to HUMOR dinner with my wife and going food shopping without my wife. She’s meticulous about what she buys and spends more time squeezing a melon than I spend choosing a new car. When I did grocery shopping with her, she judged my choices. Whatever I snuck into the cart, she’d notice at the checkout, and I’d hear one of three things: • You’ll never eat that. We threw away the last two bags. Return that to the shelf, please.

• If you buy that horrible snack, you’ll just eat the whole thing and hate yourself. Let’s put that back in the candy section.

• There’s been a jar of that in the fridge for a year. Please, take it back.

I would have to go around the store, trying to find where things belong. The employees busted me.

“Hi, Mr. Wolfsie. Doing a little reverse shopping again today?” one of them said.

“Not to be critical, but last week, we saw you cram some Pop-Tarts on top of the energy bars. We found a dozen glazed doughnuts stuck in between the everything-bagels and the 7-grain bread. Please don’t confuse the other husbands who are lucky enough to be shopping alone.”

Mary Ellen is now doing all her food buying online due to the pandemic, and I’ve been forbidden to enter stores. This has drastically cut down on my intake of frozen

pizza, Ben & Jerry’s and barbeque potato chips. I watch “Sesame Street” just to see someone eating a cookie.

I asked Mary Ellen if I could do the grocery ordering yesterday so I could be of some help in this weekly chore.

“OK, but please order exactly what I tell you,” she said. “We’ve been eating much healthier lately because you’re not tempted with impulse buying.”

Mary Ellen then shouted her list from the bathroom while she was drying her hair. I sat at the keyboard entering the selections online.

Later in the day, I picked up the order.

Mary Ellen was not happy.

“Let’s see. I said macaroni, you got bologna,” she said. “I asked for guacamole, you got cannoli. We needed noodles, you bought strudel. In the morning, there will be no coffee but plenty of toffee. Finally, dinner tonight will not be low-fat turkey, but a bag of beef jerky.”

I told her I didn’t do this on purpose, that I had simply forgotten to put in my hearing aids, and I must have misunderstood her.

“OK, but at least you got the organic broccoli, just as I requested,” she said. “Did you order it because it’s so nutritious?”

“No, because it doesn’t rhyme with anything.”

EDC to co-host art workshop

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

Apply at any location or online at penn-station.com/careers or Email resume to employment@crgsubs.com

The Boone County Economic Development Corp. will co-host a workshop for county nonprofits interested in creFUNDING ating an art project.

Boone County nonprofits interested in completing an art project are encouraged to attend the 4 p.m., Jan. 7 workshop via Zoom to learn about available funding from the Indiana Arts Commission through its Arts Project Support grants. IAC Arts Education and Accessibility Manager Stephanie Haines will guide applicants through the grant process.

“We’re pleased to provide this opportunity to help local nonprofits receive funding to bring more art projects to Boone County and improve the quality of life for our residents,” Boone County EDC Workforce and Community Development Manager Amy Hammerle stated.

Arts Project Support grants provide funding for arts activities, such as a one-time event, a single production, an exhibition, an educational seminar or series of related arts activities, such as art classes or train-

ing sessions, according to a press release.

The grants can also be used on recurring projects, in addition to new projects, but they can’t be used for operational expenses.

Bridget Eckert, director of marketing and communications for the Indiana Arts Commission, said the grants are available to any nonprofit. The grants will be up to $5,000 and will require no matching funds.

“We think that the arts really help encourage quality of life,” Eckert said. “They spur economic development. Right now, we are seeing a lot of tourism driven locally, so we really believe investing in arts and culture projects not only benefits the community but also people surrounding.”

“Making sure we are taking care of each other is definitely important all the time, and, of course, never more than it is now.

The arts are essential, and it’s central to our state being a welcoming place to live, work and play.”

For more information and to RSVP for the workshop, visit betterinboone.org/iacgrants-workshop/ or contact Amy Hammerle at amy@betterinboone.org. For more, visit betterinboone.org/iac-grants-workshop/.

Jeff Kelly and the Graveyard Shift will perform a livestream show at Studio Theater

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Jeff Kelly, performing in the “Live at the Center” series will be special.

“It’s a very cool PERFORMANCE opportunity,” he said. “I’ve seen the presentation quality of the other events.

I’m very happy to be doing that.”

Jeff Kelly and the Graveyard Shift will perform a free livestream concert at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7 from the Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The “Live at the Center” features Indianapolis-area and regional artists in genres from jazz to classical to soul and indie rock.

Kelly, a singer/songwriter, has been playing with the Graveyard Shift since 2018.

“Of course, 2020 is kind of an off year (with the pandemic),” he said.

The Indianapolis resident said the group’s music is difficult to describe but said the genre of Americana suits a lot of their songs.

“There is a mix of heavier rock songs and also a lot of acoustic songs,” Kelly said. “The Graveyard Shift is somewhat of a rotating cast of musicians, a lot of them being some of the premier jazz players in town.”

Participating in the “Live at the Center” 45-minute concert will be Mina Keohane, vocals and piano, and Charlie Ballantine, an electric guitarist. Kelly will play acoustic guitar.

“They are two really great jazz players here in Indianapolis,” Kelly said of Keohane and Ballantine. “But sometimes I have a band of eight people. It really depends on the show and kind of what the intent of the show is. If I know it’s going to be more of a big stage that needs some loud noise, we’ll go with a rock ‘n’ roll band. If I can do something in a smaller setting, I might do a trio or more of an acoustic set. It’s a really fun project for me where I can kind of evolve and play for the show.”

Author/comedian Dave Schwensen will present a program called “The Beatles at Shea Stadium: The Beginning of Stadium Rock” as part of the “Performing Arts Connect” series at 7 p.m. Jan. 7.

Jeff Kelly and the Graveyard Shift will perform a free livestream concert at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7 from the Studio Theater. (Submitted photo)

Kelly said the show is his first livestream with any other members of the band.

“I do a lot of livestream stuff solo,” he said. “Oftentimes, that’s for fundraising efforts for people that need it right now.

I’ve been able to keep relatively busy with that through 2020. This will be the first time I’m playing with some friends (since the pandemic began).”

In the summer, Kelly said he kept busy with in-person performances at outdoor venues.

Kelly said he primarily performs original songs.

“I might throw a couple of covers in there. It depends on the crowd and the show,” he said.

Kelly has released two albums, “Jeff

Kelly and the Graveyard Shift” in 2018, and “The Worst Thing for You” in 2019.

Kelly said he eventually wants to perform a “Live at the Center” show when audiences can attend.

Kelly, who is originally from Stow, Mass., moved from Rochester, N.Y., to Indianapolis in 2009 for a civil engineering job. He learned to play guitar shortly after moving.

“I do have a lot of friends who are fulltime musicians, and right now it’s very hard to monetize,” he said. “It’s always hard to just monetize just live performances. You always have to have some other coals in the fire.”

The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel’s “Performing Arts Connect” series on Zoom videoconferencing will feature “The Beatles at Shea Stadium: The Beginning of Stadium Rock” at 7 p.m. Jan. 7.

Author/comedian Dave Schwensen is the presenter. Celebrating a half-century of The Beatles in America, the program focuses on the chart-topping band’s historic August 1965 concert at New York’s Shea Stadium, where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr performed in front of 55,600 fans and were filmed for a network television special in what is considered the first outdoor stadium rock show.

The program includes film clips, rare audio of the performance and discussion by Schwensen, author of “The Beatles at Shea Stadium: The Story Behind Their Greatest Concert.” Schwensen will share little-known details about promoter Sid Bernstein’s dealings with the band, how the technology and security capabilities differed from modern stadium shows, how The Beatles secretly re-recorded some songs before the ABC broadcast and how the event drew a capacity crowd with no paid advertising, only word of mouth.

Schwensen is the author of six books and teaches courses in communications and presentation skills at Cleveland State University and Youngstown State University.

Cost for the program link is $12. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Palladium Players to read ‘Blithe Spirit’ online

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youararecurrent.com Table readings of scenes from classic and contemporary plays seemed a good way for the Center for the Performing Arts to engage with the public amid THEATER the coronavirus pandemic.

“Palladium Players was among the early ideas we developed last spring as we began providing more programming online or for small groups that can be safely distanced,” said Scott Hall, director of communications for the Carmel-based Center for the Performing Arts.

The program will feature a reading from Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” at 7 p.m. Jan. 11.

Some sessions have included participants on-site, but Palladium Players is presented online only via Zoom video conference. The program is coordinated by Krista Layfield, the Center’s educational and community engagement assistant.

For each gathering, people can read a summary of the story in advance on the Center’s website and request the character they want to read. Upon registering, participants will receive a character assignment.

No acting experience is necessary.

“It’s a casual and fun opportunity to enjoy great literature written for the stage and really just connect with other people at a time when that’s not always easy to do,” Hall said. “And if someone develops a greater appreciation for theater, that’s a wonderful result, too.”

Hall said the program was first conducted in May with William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and the staff got positive feedback from participants. Productions have included Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” in September and Ian McWethy’s “Bad Auditions by Bad Actors” in November. The next reading after Jan. 11 will be in March.

Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur, India (Photo by Don Knebel)

Exploring Udaipur’s Lake Palace Commentary by Don Knebel Udaipur, in the state of Rajasthan, is widely regarded as India’s most romantic city. The Lake Palace Hotel is TRAVEL one of the main reasons why.

In A.D. 1559, Maharana (or Maharaja) Udai Singh II, ruler of the Mewar region of northwest India, moved his capital to what is now Udaipur and built a palace on a ridge above Lake Pichola. His successors added to what is now the magnificent Udaipur City Palace. In 1743, Maharana Jagat Singh II, the ninth successor of Udai Singh II, began building a summer palace on an island in the center of Lake Pichola directly west of City Palace. The rectangular building faced east so occupants could worship the Hindu sun god as the sun appeared over City Palace. When completed in 1746, the white marble palace, named Jag Niwas in honor of Jagat Singh, contained colonnaded courtyards featuring picturesque fountains, terraces and ponds. Because the palace occupies the entire island, from a distance, Jag Niwas appears to float on Lake Pichola.

After India gained independence in 1947, the Mewar Maharana and his family gave up governing authority but retained ownership of City Palace and Jag Niwas. By the late 1950s, Jag Niwas had begun to deteriorate and Bhagwat Singh, then the head of the family, decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. The hotel conversion was completed in 1969 and the Lake Palace Hotel obtained a five-star rating in 1971. Guests arrive on small boats leaving from City Palace and are showered with rose petals as they enter the hotel, sheltered from the sun by velvet umbrellas held by descendants of royal butlers.

Sixty-five guest rooms and 18 palatially furnished suites offer spectacular night views of City Palace. The hotel gained international fame in 1983 as a setting in “Octopussy,” a James Bond movie starring Roger Moore.
