By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Traffic Safety Partnership is stepping up patrols to curb dangerous and aggressive PUBLIC SAFETY driving with an enforcement campaign that began Feb. 25 and runs through March 21.

BCTSP is a group of full-time officers and deputies from five law enforcement agencies in Boone County that aim to decrease the number of motorists killed and injured on Indiana roadways. The agencies include: the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Lebanon Police Dept., Thorntown Police Dept., Whitestown Metropolitan Police Dept., and Zionsville Police Dept. Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen is the BCTSP program director.

Designed to reduce crashes and traffic fatalities and to promote safe driving around St. Patrick’s Day and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the safety initiative comes at a time when roadway deaths continue to climb across the state and nation.

Nationwide, traffic fatalities continued to rise at a record pace last year, according to recently released data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The study estimated that 31,720 people were killed on U.S. roadways in the first nine months of 2021, a 12 percent increase from the same period in 2020.

In Indiana, preliminary data from Indiana Criminal Justice Institute shows that

Armed suspect arrested after standoff

Nicholas Schuhler, 29, was arrested March 2 after an hours-long standoff inside a Zionsville home PUBLIC SAFETY with police. The Boone County Special Response Team apprehended after police detonated a flashbang device and tear gas inside the home.

Schuhler was taken into custody at 12:35 p.m. after the Special Response Team Schuhler pinpointed his precise location within the residence with a drone. Gas projectiles and a flashbang were thrown into where Schuhler was hiding and the Special Response Team arrested him without harm to anyone involved.

Schuhler is being held in the Boone County Jail on preliminary charges of two counts of pointing a firearm and possession of a firearm without a license.

Just before 5 a.m. on March 2, police received a call regarding a “suspicious” man walking in the area of Lakeview Dr. and Karen Dr. who pointed a firearm at the caller while she was driving.

When police arrived, Schuhler fled into a family member’s home at 621 Lakeview Dr. and barricaded himself inside, staying there for more than seven hours.

Officers from the Zionsville Police Dept. and Boone County Sheriff’s Office established a perimeter around the Zionsville residences and evacuated nearby homes.

Attempts were made to negotiate with Schuhler, but he was uncooperative.

“This is another example of all of our public safety partners coming together to resolve a very challenging situation,” BCSO Sheriff Mike Nielsen stated. “It took our local, state, and federal partners working in unison to come to this peaceful resolution.

I am thankful for the partnership we have with all our public safety agencies in this county, state, and country. Those folks who are behind the scenes such as Fire, EMS, Communications, and Corrections never can get enough credit for their professionalism.

I am glad on a day such as today as we celebrate the life of Deputy Pickett four years to the date that he was watching over all of us and helped us all get home safely.”

Eagles finish second at IHSAA boys swimming state finals

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School junior Will Modglin figured the team reached its goal in the IHSAA boys ACHIEVEMENT swimming state finals.

Modglin repeated as both the 200-yard individual medley and 100 backstroke champion to help lead the Eagles to a second-place finish Feb. 26 at the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI. Carmel won its eighth consecutive state title with 381 points, followed by ZCHS with 247.

“It was a goal of ours coming in to at least take home a trophy,” Modglin said.

“We accomplished that, which I think is awesome. For me, being able to repeat was really cool and humbling.”

Modglin, who has committed to swim for the University of Texas, set the state record in the 200 IM with a time of 1:44.10 during the Feb. 25 preliminaries. His time was 1:45.11 in the championship final.

“Obviously, I didn’t do as well in the finals,” Modglin said. “At the end of the day, I was still able to come away with a win.”

Modglin said he got a boost from the

energy in the IU Natatorium — something he didn’t feel last year when there were no fans for the finals.

“I was just ready to go,” he said. “I knew going in it was the same (opponents) as last year, so I knew my competition. I was going to get after it in prelims, no point in trying

a little bit. I figure I might as well go all out now and see what happens.”

Modglin captured the 100 backstroke in 46.16.

medley relay. Carmel won in a national-record time of 1:26.88. Zionsville was second in 1:28.92.

“That was fun to watch,” Modglin said.

Modglin also was on the second-place 400 freestyle relay with junior Gabe Berry, sophomore Walker Mattice and Krone.

Other top finishes included Raches placing second in the 100 freestyle and Krone third in the 100 butterfly.

Eagles coach Scott Kubly was pleased with the second-place finish.

“I am especially happy that the guys were able to have 15 swims, which is the most we have ever had at the state meet,” Kubly said. “The guys had to work hard for that second-place finish. They set themselves up well (in prelims) to accomplish what we did (in the finals).”

Modglin said several swimmers weren’t feeling 100 percent heading into the week before the finals.

“I was a little skeptical of how my performance would be,” he said. “But the day before our wake-up swim, we felt ready to race. A lot of guys will be coming back next year, so it will be good to have that experience.”

Vacation stay up for bid

By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Play On Zionsville’s primary fundraising tool was bringing professional FUNDRAISER entertainers to the Zionsville Performing Arts Center for live performances to raise money to purchase musical instruments for the Zionsville High School Bands and Orchestras.

But the pandemic has forced the nonprofit to alter its plans for 2022. Instead of bringing in entertainment, such as Second City Comedy, Mike Super Magic and Illusion, Pure Prairie League and Firefall, Play On Zionsville is auctioning a one-week stay at a vacation home in Anna Maria Island, Fla. The winner will have their choice of the week of June 4-11 or June 11-18.

Ann Pagano, vice president of fundraising for Play On Zionsville, which supports the Musical Endowment of the Community Foundation of Boone County, said the organization doesn’t want to have close-quarter events until the pandemic ends.

“This is our first fundraiser since COVID hit, and we had to come up with something that made sense, because I think that right now some of our donor base isn’t necessarily comfortable in one, close space,” Pagano said. “We do hope to get back to the live performances, though, but hopefully carry the auction on as well.”

To date, Play On Zionsville has raised $14,759 of the $20,000 needed to match

with the Purchase of a Qualifying A/C Aerial view of the vacation home.

the gift of $20,000 from the DeHaan Family Foundation, which supports arts and cultural organizations in central Indiana through grants. The organization is confident the auction will raise enough funds to cover the remaining $5,000.

“The property is beautiful, and the location is great, “Pagano said. “You have your choice of three beaches to walk or ride to. Whoever wins the auction will be very happy.”

The auction opened on March 6 and closes on March 19. Bidding started at $4,000 and is open to the public.

Westfield senior wrestler develops into top heavyweight

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Four years ago, Westfield High School senior Mihail Platonov was not only a newcomer to wrestling, but to all sports.

“I wasn’t an athlete before high school,” said Platonov, who is called Mike by friends. “Starting wrestling in high school, it was my first sport. I really wanted to try something, had a lot of friends that wrestled and wanted to do something I wouldn’t quit at.”

“His biggest improvement is just being able to score offensively,” Smith said. “When he was younger, it was all about getting matches. This year, he flipped a switch and he could beat anybody. He had the intent to win every match he played. It changed his mind that he wanted to be the best.”

Platonov, who moved to Westfield from Riga, Latvia, when he was 6 years old, said summer practices helped him improve this season.

“I felt like I had a really rough start but was doing well where it counted, especially going into the postseason,” Platonov said.

“I felt like a lot of things came together. My confidence started showing. (I had) trust in my training, my coaches. More than anything, it was my dream. Dreams are made in that stadium, and I needed to take it.”

Platonov said he looks forward to the opportunity to wrestle in college but hasn’t made a choice.

Zionsville well-represented at Boone County Chamber of Commerce banquet

By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com A Zionsville business and business owner each took home one of the three Boone County Chamber awards at its annual awards banquet on Feb. 17 at The Sixpence in Whitestown.

Storen Financial was awarded Business of the Year, and Dr. Nicolas Garn of Zionsville Eyecare won the Empowering Leader of the Year award. Both businesses are in the same building at 1120 W Oak St., in Suites 200 and 100, respectively.

The third Boone County Chamber award for Nonprofit of the Year was presented to Friends of Boone County Trails, a group of Boone County residents who promote and strategize for the development of trailways in the community.

“The event theme, ‘A Night of the Stars’, truly was perfect in celebrating businesses and individual’s successes during 2021, a year in which we all continued to navigate doing business and life in an ever-changing climate,” Boone County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debbi Schultz said. “We witnessed amazing examples of businesses and individual’s dedication to keep looking up, develop a vision and put actions in place, to guide their organization and teams forward and brighten the Boone County community.”

Sponsored by Witham Health Services, the Boone County Chamber event presented three chamber awards and five community awards to recognize the 2021 achievements of Boone County Chamber and community members.

After winning the Boone County Chamber Impact Award for February 2021, Storen Financial, an independent investment and accounting firm, was automatically entered as one of 12 businesses for the Business of the Year Award.

Debbi Kuller, business service director for Storen Financial, said team members at Storen Financial were keeping their fingers crossed leading up to the banquet but weren’t sure about its chances for winning.

“There were a lot of amazing businesses that were up for this award, so it’s quite an honor, honestly,” Kuller said.

Kuller credits the entire staff at Storen Financial for the achievement.

“We are an amazing team, and we have a wonderful work culture,” Kuller said. “The owners take great care of their employees, and the employees take great care of the owners in return by working hard for the company.”

Dr. Nicholas Garn of Zionsville Eyecare accepts his award for Empowering Leader of the Year with his wife Laura, left, and Patient Care Coordinator Team Lead Betsy Brockett.

Dr. Nicholas Garn of Zionsville Eyecare was presented the Empowering Leader of the Year Award. Zionsville Eyecare was also nominated for the Business of the Year Award.

Although he’s not sure who nominated him or why, Garn said that he was humbled by the recognition.

“Honestly, it’s an honor,” Garn said. “It was kind of out of left field. Looking around that room that night and then getting up on stage to accept the award and seeing all of these great local leaders in the same room as me was extremely humbling and very much so a surprise.”

Boone County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Diane Schultz said several individuals nominated Garn and shared why they thought he deserved the award. One of the people who nominated Garn sent the following message to Schultz: “Dr. Garn goes above and beyond for his patients, staff and community. Dr. Garn leads his staff with generosity, kindness, and compassion. He is passionate about eyecare but more compelled by how we see ourselves and the world around us. His view of life and how we live it goes beyond his office.”

Kuller echoed the sentiment.

“He’s such a great person. It’s very well deserved for him to win that award,” Kuller said.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Risky business

California dreamin’ Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker There are two kinds of people in the world — those who believe that there are two kinds of people and those who do not. On some things we can agree, and on others we won’t. We humans bring our own experience, perspective and baseline personality to each decision and to every interaction. We might “swing for the fences” in one instance only to hold back in another, hoping “to live to fight another day.” The very duality of it all could seem confusing, erratic and inconsistent, but we somehow manage to wrangle our incongruencies into something that could rightly be called an ordered existence.

Some of us become risk takers. Our experience has taught us to rely on our abilities and to push boundaries. Others prefer the path more traveled, choosing to trust the accumulated wisdom of those who preceded us. Both approaches are correct. And both are spectacularly wrong. The reckless daredevil learns by frozen digits that mountain climbing is fraught with peril. And the office drone wakes to find themselves at the end of their life, barely lived.

If we cannot find our way to a clear choice among the divergent approaches, how can we proceed? Do we hang in the middle, taking some risk but not too much? Do we learn to go with the herd while not following it to slaughter?

But if we haven’t taken the big risk, if we haven’t made ourselves completely financially or emotionally vulnerable, have we made full use of this existence God gave us? In our own lives, are we resting too long or pushing too hard?

Our greatest moments often come when we walk the tightrope without a safety net, even as it rightly terrifies us. Do we make full use of our gifts in whatever form they take?

My husband Doo and I recently returned from a West Coast jaunt to visit my twin sister and her family in L.A. We stayed a couple of nights with them and then drove down to Orange County, where we fantasized about retiring to Laguna or Dana Point or one of the other ultra-chic beach communities. Sand, surf and year-round sun? Sure beats the heck out of Indiana winters. And a decent double-wide would only set us back $750,000!

Alas, that is the main problem with our dream of moving to Southern California. Real estate prices are crazy. My wombmate’s home is a fourth the size of ours, has a small AstroTurf “lawn” in front and hangs on a cliff side, one heavy rain away from being washed into the valley. And yet, she could list that sucker for three times our suburban two-story with its big, gentle-sloping yard and two-car attached garage. I’m not exaggerating. Zillow confirmed this!

But our view is one of gloomy roundabouts and even-gloomier naked trees, not majestic mountains and forested canyons. She’s a short Uber ride from the Pacific, while we’re a grueling 13 hours by minivan from the Atlantic.

George Clooney lives in her neighborhood. My kids briefly went to school with the daughter of a WTHR meteorologist. There’s just no comparison.

So, yeah, we’re daydreaming of our own Southern California ocean-front place. We’re less than six months away from being empty nesters, after all, and surely our friends and family would come visit. They’ll have to stay in a hotel, of course, as our trailer won’t accommodate guests, but at least the weather and scenery will be beautiful.

Peace out.

Spring break is right around the corner and if your plans include road PODIATRY tripping, flying or even just spending lots of time outside, it’s important to pay attention to your feet.

Nothing ruins spring break like sore feet. So, to keep that from happening, check out our tips for preventing foot pain while you travel.

1. Stop and walk. Whether you’re in a plane or a car, sitting for a long time isn’t great for your feet. It lets blood pool in your feet and legs and that can lead to swelling and foot pain.

If you’re traveling for more than two hours, you should walk around and stretch your feet and legs.

2. Compress. If regular walking breaks aren’t an option, compression stockings can help. Especially if you’re boarding a long flight. Not only can compression socks prevent edema (swelling), but they can also improve your circulation and help protect you from travel-related blood clots.

3. Check your shoes. Pack comfortable and supportive footwear and socks.

Stick to supportive shoes such as athletic shoes which will give your feet

extra cushioning especially if sightseeing walks are on your itinerary. No matter how cute they are, leave your brand-new shoes behind – they can cause blisters and you don’t want to deal with that on vacation.

4. Look at kids’ shoes, too. Children’s feet grow quickly. So, before leaving for vacation, check to make sure your child has lots of room in his or her shoes.

(But not too much, or else blisters may be a problem).

5. Come prepared. Make sure to bring nail clippers (be sure to check TSA regarding travel regulations.) Blister patches and antibiotic cream are a good idea, too. This way, if minor irritations come up while you’re traveling, you can address the problem.

6. Don’t forget the sunscreen. Be sure to put sunscreen on your feet, even the bottoms, to avoid sunburn and prevent skin cancer.

CHS graduate Meyer returns to Carmel to perform Elton John songs

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For the past 13 years, Craig A. Meyer’s Elton John tribute show has pretty much been a full-time pursuit.

CONCERT Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, he performed about 40 percent of his gigs on cruise ships. He also plays in performing arts centers, festivals, galas, casinos and private parties.

“I did a wedding on the campus at the University of Arkansas in October (2021),” he said. “I’ve done a wedding when I made my arrival in a helicopter. I’ve done small private parties. It runs the gamut. Whether I’m performing for 10 or 10,000, they get the same show because I love what I do.

“All I’ve wanted to be in life is a working actor, and that’s exactly what I am. I’m blessed people pay me money for something I enjoy doing.”

The 1981 Carmel High School graduate will perform his “Remember When Rock Was Young, The Elton John Tribute” show at 8 p.m. March 18 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Actors Theatre of Indiana is presenting the show.

Meyer met ATI co-founder Don Farrell through connections in New York and Atlanta.

‘We became friends and he’s been trying to get me to ATI for the better part of five years,” Meyer said. “It will actually be my first performance in the Indianapolis/Carmel area since I left high school.”

Meyer appeared in several shows at CHS and was a member of the Ambassadors mixed show choir. At a young age, Meyer acted in Los Angeles before his family moved to Carmel in the late 1970s.

Meyer received his Screen Actors Guild card at age 11.

“It was amazing for my sister and I to end up in the program that was run there at Carmel,” Meyer said. “The opportunities were just amazing.”

Through the years, Meyer was worked in TV, film and theater. He has performed

in Broadway shows and national tours. He has performed internationally and recorded with Frankie Valli and Barry Manilow.

Seventeen years ago, he moved to Atlanta.

“I literally backed into this Elton John thing,” he said. “It was not anything I planned on doing.”

A woman who performed a Dolly Parton tribute show attended a class he was teaching.

“She said there has to be someone there you could be doing,” Meyer said. “I don’t want to go to the elephant graveyard of entertainment and be an impersonator.”

Eventually during one of his shows, he performed a couple of Elton John songs on piano.

“A dozen people came up and said there was a moment they could hear Elton in my hands and in my voice,” Meyer said.

Meyer and a friend picked out some Elton John outfits, and she sent photos and a demo to people she knew in the entertainment industry.

“I thought it would be a side hustle with all the things I was doing in Atlanta,”

Meyer said. “In 18 months, I was doing my first show in Vegas. A year after that, I was doing my first symphony show with a 50-piece orchestra. It’s just grown.”

Meyer said he has crafted the show to take the audience on an emotional journey.

“I put the pressure on, I take the pressure off, so it’s satisfying. It’s not just a bunch of songs strung together,” he said.

“Every song in the show has something about it that I enjoy.”

He said the best part is when he begins to play the final few songs.

“I get to the place where I do ‘Your Song’ and it’s just me and the piano and the audience,” Meyer said. “It’s my favorite moment where if I’ve done my job correctly, it’s this great intimate moment that happens between me and the audience and I know that I’ve landed the plane.

“They’ve had a great time and I’ve convinced them that I’m the closest thing they’ll have to seeing Elton John without seeing him.”

CHS graduate embraces challenge of ‘Wait Until Dark’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This is the biggest challenge Carly Masterson has taken on in her acting career.

The Carmel resident plays Suzy, PLAY a blind woman who is terrorized by three criminals in search of a doll in Civic Theatre’s “Wait Until Dark.”

“I’ve been acting since I was in high school, and this is completely different from anything I’ve ever done in my life,” the 2015 Carmel High School graduate said. “I’m trying to take all the moments to speak, listen and find what I’m going to say with the use of my body.”

The performances are set for March 11-26 at the Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“It definitely spoke to me when I first heard they were putting the show on,” Masterson said. “It’s a very difficult role for obvious reasons. She’s blind and I’m a seeing person. I’ve had a lot of direction from my director as well as trying to play this role as truthful as possible. I’m trying to give her justice for the obstacles she has to face.”

The Carmel resident hasn’t seen the movie because she wanted to put her own stamp on the role.

“I really want to create on my own views on reading the show for the first time,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is her finding discoveries with her whole body. She focuses on how her body moves in the space.”

Masterson said it is one of the most intricate sets she has worked in.

“The director wanted to make it one whole performance with no intermission, but she said, ‘We’ll give Carly a break,’” Masterson said. “The lines aren’t an issue. It’s trying to make her maneuver and to play her truthfully.’

Parrish Williams, a New Palestine resident, plays one of the criminals, Carlino.

“The role is beefed up from the original play,” Williams said. “It’s a play I’ve always liked and been interested in. My good friend, (Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director) Michael Lasley, directed this play for Civic.

I remembered seeing it then and I was far too young to play any of the roles at that point in time. I remember thinking at some point in time, I’d like to do it. I do a lot at Civic, but I rarely do anything like this. It was an opportunity to play against my typical type.”

Williams said he normally plays broad comedic roles or affable characters. He most recently played Santa Claus in “Elf.” Occasionally, he plays a sarcastic character but rarely a bad character.

Indianapolis resident Jay Hemphill, the artistic director for Arts for Lawrence, plays Harry Roat Jr., the main villain.

“He does get delight out of being the villain,” Hemphill said. “It’s not the act of murder, it’s the leading up to it. He loves the chase. He’s very cat and mouse. He’s very shark-like, stalking. For him, that’s the joy.

He could just come in and strangle someone and get the doll. But he’s like, ‘Let’s play the game.’”

“We were set to open ‘Mary Poppins Jr.’ in 2020, but our school shut down the day before our first performance,” Boyd said. “It was heartbreaking, and we still talk about how great that show was going to be. Last year we recorded a virtual musical, ‘Schoolhouse Rock Live Jr.’ We are excited to be on stage live once again.”

Turnquist. Oliver Warbucks is portrayed by eighth-grader Micah Hundley. Other cast members include eight-grader Clara Keiper as Miss Hannigan and eighth-grader Abigail McClure as Grace Farrell.

“We have our first furry actor, Bailey McNally, who is playing Sandy,” Boyd said. “The dog belongs to one of our seventh-grade orphans, Anna McNally, who plays Duffy.”

Boyd has looked forward Bailey to directing the show.

“I have never directed the show, but it was the first musical I ever saw performed live and it has always been one of my favorites,” she said. “The songs are catchy and stick with you forever.”

Blueprint for Improvement: A modern makeover in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1977 in Zionsville’s Colony Woods neighborhood, the owners of this home wanted to update the living room with modern finishes.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The fireplace became the room’s focal point, accented by dynamic porcelain tile that gives the appearance of metal, but without the maintenance.

• Custom built-ins with sleek acrylic laminate cabinets, quartz countertops and floating poplar shelves provide the perfect place for displaying family pictures, keepsakes and décor.

• The carpet was replaced with luxury vinyl plank flooring for an elevated aesthetic with exceptional durability.

Can I quote you on that?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Cabbage Key Harbor in Florida. (Photos by Don Knebel)

A visit to Cabbage Key Commentary by Don Knebel Last week, we visited Sanibel, Fla., a favorite winter destination for many Hoosiers.

Today, we will visit Cabbage TRAVEL Key, an enjoyable boat day trip from Sanibel or nearby Captiva.

Cabbage Key is a 100-acre barrier island in Pine Island Sound about 20 miles northwest of Fort Myers. About 2,500 years ago, the indigenous Calusas began creating a 40-foot-high mound of shells (“midden”) on the island. In 1936, Alan Rinehart, son of best-selling mystery writer Mary Roberts Rinehart, and his wife, Gratia, purchased the uninhabited island (then Palmetto Key) for a reported $20,000. The Rineharts built a 4,500-square-foot winter house atop the midden about 130 feet from the water.

They also built a boathouse, two cottages, a power station and a 6,000-gallon water tower, creating a private tropical paradise.

After 34-year-old Gratia, who obtained the property in a divorce, died in 1939, the island was sold. The new owners renamed the island Cabbage Key after its cabbage palm trees and converted the house and cottages into an inn.

In 1971, the then-owners obtained a liquor license. For reasons not entirely clear, bar patrons began signing dollar bills and taping them to the walls and ceilings in what had been the Rineharts’ library. The bar became world famous, attracting a number of celebrities, including singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett.

Today, visitors come to roadless Cabbage Key by boat from around the world, most just for lunch or a drink in the bar. About 70,000 dollar bills cover every available space in the bar and an estimated 10,000

fall off every year, which are donated to children’s charities. During some spring days, the inn’s restaurant serves about 1,000 lunches, most of them its famous large and loaded cheeseburgers. A persistent rumor that Buffett’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise” was inspired by his visits to Cabbage Key has never been confirmed.

I can think of a few things off the top of my head that I hope never to use: math, a fire extinguisher, Pepto Bismol and the flotation device on GRAMMAR GUY the bottom of my seat cushion on an airplane. In theory, all of these things are good to have or know about, but you hope you’re never in a situation where they’re necessary for your survival.

In the same way, it seems like people avoid using quotation marks correctly.

And rightfully so: These punctuation marks look like a pair of commas that have pumped themselves full of helium.

But I try to look at it this way: Quotation marks are up there to give your words a high five.

Let’s start with the basics. Use quotation marks around dialogue (i.e., something someone says). “I’m still upset Pluto is no longer a planet,” Humphrey remarked. This is an example of a direct quote, so it gets quotation marks. However, consider the following sentence. Humphrey remarked he was still upset Pluto is no longer a planet. This is an example of an indirect quote, so it doesn’t require quotation marks.

I like to think of quotation marks as

T-rex fingers, demarcating the words inside as special -- kind of like the lucky underwear you only wear when you want to have an exceptionally awesome day.

So, what else gets the quotation mark treatment? In addition to dialogue, AP style instructs us to put quotation marks around the titles of books, songs, television shows, computer games, poems, lectures, speeches and works of art. Do not, however, put quotation marks around the names of magazines, newspapers, the Bible or books that are catalogs of reference materials.

Finally, use quotation marks to indicate something is unusual, novel, ironic, or sarcastic. For instance: NASA continues to make us believe in the so-called “moon landing.” For the record, I didn’t say this, but I have a friend (let’s call him “Byron”) who thinks the moon landing is a hoax.

Byron uses ironic and sarcastic quotation marks all the time when referring to the various conspiracy theories to which he subscribes.
