Sertoma club to aid children

Salon cuts hair for charity

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com

Castleton Sertoma Club and We Can Help Inc. will help provide clothholidays ing for needy children. The Clothe A Child event will take place at J.C. Penney at the Castleton Square Mall Dec. 2 at 7 a.m. Fifty local kids will be able to shop privately with the help of community volunteers.

“It's become a pretty big event,” said Mike Poynter, founder of We Can Help Inc. and parishioner at a Fishers’ church. ”J.C. Penney is absolutely amazing. We have been working with them for over 30 years.

They give us a great discount. They buy a gift for each one of the kids that Santa hands out at the end.”

Poynter works with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Bethany Christian Services, Indiana School for the Blind and Indiana School for the Deaf to choose participants.

“I work with the case workers at different organizations, and they're able to provide me with the info on the kids that are most in need in their organizations,” Poynter said.

The event focuses strictly on clothing rather than toys.

High Level Design Salon and Barbershop in Fishers wanted to giving back pay it forward by raising money for local homeless shelters. Jessica Foster and her husband Zach own the salon. They were inspired to do something charitable for the community by their daughter.

“My daughter Layla had come across a group of homeless people, and she wanted to help them,” Jessica said. “This year with opening our own shop it seemed like the right time. I need to cultivate the idea of giving back in my daughter, and so we decided to do it.”

Foster created Cuts for a Cause. She opened her shop Nov. 19 and offered haircuts for donations only.

Jessica and Zach opened their salon after Jessica was displaced from a former employer because of a fire.

“I had been working at Salon Etc. for seven years. Myself and 30 other stylists were displaced due to a fire,” Jessica said.

“After the fire, I was temporarily working at a space trying to figure out what was going to happen. We had always wanted

“A lot of these kids come with holes in their shoes and hand-me-down items from their siblings,” Poynter said. “It’s pretty amazing to see the smile on their faces when they walk out with two big bags of brand new clothes. For most of them this is really the only Christmas they get.”

Poynter hopes the kids remember the generosity they were extended in the future.

Jessica realized after the fire that she wanted to help others in the community.

Woman creates Bible study open to all faiths

By Jessica Hoover • news@currentinfishers.com

Now Open 8626 East 116th Street, Fishers, IN 46038 • 317.617.5848

A simple trip to Kroger in September led Sherrie Eldridge to create an interdenominational Bible study open to all religions.

After seeing a room on the religion upper level of the store, Eldridge thought it would be the perfect place to hold a Bible study. She then began asking around to see if anyone would be interested in attending.

“One woman said, ‘I would come. I put my Eldridge Koran and my Bible right next to each other,’” Eldridge said. “That was very positive for me, and for following through with the vision I had for the group, that it would be a Bible study, but it would be for all faiths.”

Eldridge said another unique aspect of her Bible study is that it is relationship-

based. The first half hour is spent getting to know each other and snacking on chocolates, coffee and tea. The next hour is spent learning a lesson that Eldridge planned. Each week she writes down verses to go correspond with her teachings.

“There’s probably a maximum of about 15 verses that I have typed on a piece of paper,” Eldridge said. “Then I have someone read them out loud, and then I have them underline the verses that stand out to them because that probably is God speaking to them.”

At the end of the study, Eldridge has each member turn to the person on their right and exchange information and become prayer partners for the week. The Bible study is every Thursday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Kroger at 9799 E. 116th St. Anyone interested in joining can contact Eldridge at 317-849-5651 or simply stop by the study room in Kroger Thursday morning.

Fishers Fifty Club aids first responders, families

By Jessica Hoover • news@currentinfishers.com

Create a lasting celebration in honor of your loved one’s life. From traditional ceremonies to casual memorial gatherings, we are committed to creating a service that fits your beliefs and traditions.

A new organization will benefit the Fishers Police Dept. and Fishers Fire Dept. through fundraising for families.

The Fishers Fifty Club religion was established in June.

Its primary goal is to raise money to support police or fire families in the event of a line-of-duty catastrophic injury or death. Funds are raised through events and drives and then provided Thompson to the families for immediate needs.

“It is an honor to see our men and women’s professionalism and contribution recognized by our community and an avenue of relief for our responders knowing their family will be cared for in the event of their death in the performance of duties,” FPD Chief Mitch Thompson stated in a press

release to Current.

FFD Chief Steve Orusa stated he has “gratitude for the generosity of these members of our community in the thoughtful, impactful approach to caring for our responders’ families.”

James Ratliff, Steven Lutz and Richard Block are founders of the organization. Other business and community members are now able to join as founding members of the organization.

The most recent fundraising event was Nov. 8.

Orusa There has been one line-of-duty death of a Fishers firefighter. Raymond “Bud” Moulder died Oct. 13, 1967, leaving behind a wife and five children. He saved the life of another firefighter as his last act. No Fishers police officers have died in the history of the Fishers Police Dept.

Legacy Fund honors Pillars

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Alex Volyk loves to lend a hand in his adopted country.

“He’s so passionphilanthropy ate about people,” Eleven Fifty Academy President John Qualls said. “I feel like I’m a better American knowing him.”

Volyk, a Carmel resident who moved from Ukraine in 1993, serves as Eleven Fifty Academy admissions advisor. Eleven Fifty Academy is a Fishers-based coding school.

Qualls nominated Volyk for Legacy Fund’s first Community Pillars Awards. Volyk, who became a U.S. citizen in 2010, was the winner in the College Readiness and Success division at the Legacy Fund Celebration of Philanthropy Nov. 9 at Ritz Charles in Carmel.

The Pillar Awards honor individuals doing visionary work to solve pressing challenges, build opportunity and equity and create a brighter future for Hamilton County.

The other Community Pillar Awards went to Darren Peterson, Noblesville, in the Inspiring Places category, and Nancy Chance, Noblesville, in the Family Success category.

Although the three winners knew they were going to be honored, they didn’t know they would be given $5,000 grants to donate to a nonprofit of their choice.

The grant will become the Alex Fund at the coding academy, which Volyk will have at his discretion to help students with costs.

“He doesn’t even have to ask. He can say

to this person right here, ‘I want to give an extra boost from me,’” Qualls said. “It’s whoever he wants to give it to.”

Volyk had to overcome several obstacles to get to America and then was helped by his American Exchange family while he attended Purdue University.

“I came here with a big smile, 50 bucks and a great attitude,” Volyk said.

He has an executive MBA from Purdue and a master’s degree in agriculture economics but had no experience in admissions when he applied for the Eleven Fifty job.

“I thought this guy is special, he can do anything,” Qualls said.

Volyk started with Eleven Fifty Academy in March 2016.

“I go to work in a great mood,” Volyk said.

“I see applications of people with big college debt with great college degrees, and they can’t find a job or are underemployed.

But I can see that application. I already know that person has what it takes. I cannot wait to meet with them and provide my guidance to those individuals.”

Chance, executive director of Good Samaritan Network, awarded her $5,000 grant to Recycled Cycles, a new program in Westfield that reclaims and recycles gently used bicycles and prepares them for families who might not be able to afford one.

Peterson, principal architect from Noblesville-based Peterson Architecture, was nominated by Nickel Plate Arts director Aili McGill. Peterson, in turn, said he would give the $5,000 grant to Nickel Plate for its use.

Fishers couple travels the world

By Jessica Hoover • news@currentinfishers.com In 2015, Tim and Allison Diemer made the decision to quit their jobs, leave their lives in Chicago behind and spend a year traveling the world. What seems cover story an unreachable fantasy to some, the Diemers said, can be done with careful planning and budgeting.

“We started tracking every dollar we spent,” Tim said.

“Chicago is so expensive, and we lived in a tiny, tiny apartment. We stopped going out to bars so often and skipped dinner with friends and started meeting up afterwards.

Little stuff like that. We could see once we started tracking our savings how much that affected what we were able to save.”

After saving their money for two years, Tim and Allison finally departed Chicago with a plan to visit more than 25 nations, including Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Poland, Greece, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, New Zealand and Indonesia. The trip spanned 2015 and 2016.

Out of all the nations, the couple spent the most time in Vietnam, and it was one of the biggest highlights of the trip. According to Allison, they spent two months riding across the nation on motorcycles, covering about the same distance from Key West to Chicago.

“We realized while we were there how much longer it was going to take to see everything that we wanted to see,” Tim said. “That was supposed to be less than a month and it turned into two months. The Vietnam motorcycle ride was just one of those things you’re so excited for, and it exceeds your expectations.”

During their year of travel, Tim, who sells travel accessories on Amazon under the couple’s brand name TRIPPED, and Allison, who owns her own human resources consulting business, spent less than $50 a day on average, opting out of living luxuriously to stretch their money. They often found deals for lodging and airfare, staying in local hotels and finding cheap flights.

“For a lot of the trip we used airline miles that we had saved up, and we ended up applying for offers along the way to help with flight costs,” Allison said. “There were also some random, spontaneous trips along the way based on cheap airfare. When we were in Greece, we saw that it was only a $45 flight to Cyprus, an island off of the Middle East.”

Tim and Allison documented their adventures in a YouTube series called “Tripped.” At first, they filmed their travels as a hobby, but after posting a few videos they said they noticed people were actually watching them. Now, the series has continued for 16 months. A new video is posted every Sunday. The couple also posts how-to videos with budgeting tips, packing tips and more.

When the trip was nearly over, the couple moved to Fishers after Tim accepted an internship in Indianapolis. They have lived in Fishers for almost a year and love the area.

“There was so much going on here (in Fishers) this summer,” Tim said. “We live three minutes walking away from the amphitheater and Holland Park. So, there’s bands, there’s the farmers market, there’s concerts during the week, there’s movies in the park. There’s just so much to do for what some people think is a small town.”

Tim and Allison aren’t finished traveling. They are planning their next trip in January, which they estimate will last three years. They plan to spend at least the first year traveling in a remodeled RV along with their 10-pound dog, Pepper.

Although the route is not fully planned, they plan to make their way from Alaska to Antarctica. They also will visit some other nations and states along the way, including Florida, Texas, Colorado, Montana, Canada, Washington, Oregon, California, Mexico, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina and more.

To follow Tim and Allison’s adventures, visit timandfintravel.com.

A map of the nations Tim and Allison Diemer visited and plan to visit. Blue nations show places visited during their last trip and green portrays the ones they will spend time in during their upcoming three-year trip.

Tim and Allison’s tips and tricks for traveling on a budget • Start out your trip in Europe and make your way east.

If you don’t visit the European nations early on, your funds may run a bit short toward the end of your trip. Things tend to get cheaper the further east you travel.

• Depending on where you are, it can be cheaper to either buy your own groceries or buy street food. Tim and Allison said that while they were in Europe and New Zealand they bought groceries to save money, but it was far cheaper to buy street food in the eastern nations.

• You don’t need to stay at luxury hotels. It is much more cost-efficient to find AirBnbs or stay at cheap, local places.

• When you do book a hotel or AirBnb, keep the stay short. When you book for only one or two days at a time, you can find a different place if the living situation doesn’t work out.

• Save your airline miles for the larger flights, and stay on the lookout for inexpensive airfare along the way.

Rain, roundabouts and prayer

o b s e r v ation ‘Caddyshack’ wisdom Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We, each and every one of us, is held captive, at least a bit, by our own experiences and acculturation. For many years we regaled the French spouse of a close friend of the sublime humor in the sophomoric romp “Caddyshack.” Routinely, we would repeat lines, giggling in our own command of the low-brow script. Finally, we arranged to host a private screening of the classic. Seven natives and one not-sonative viewed, with beer in hand, as Judge Elihu Smails and the now-storied cast of characters delivered our beloved one-liners.

Our sides aching from laughter, the film closed as Carl’s nemesis, a plump, dancing gopher, boogied us out of the theater to the catchy Kenny Loggins tune. Now, we turned to our continental comrade – you must surely understand why we love this film so.

“Hmm,” she replied cautiously, “it was fun, but, I’m still not sure that I get it.” Crestfallen, we realize that some things might not translate. The French popularity of Jerry Lewis makes sense. The French love of Jerry Lewis is more difficult to sort out.

Variances of our perspective are difficult to sort out. Some refuse to consider the value of another point of view. And some, as if driven by some eternal shame, suppress the glory of their own. As we consider the proper role for Jerry Lewis comedy in the storehouse of great culture, is his contribution superior to that of greenskeeper Carl Spackler? Who decided what matters – and, more importantly, what doesn’t? After all, Carl’s the one who reminded us Gunga Galunga, as the frugal Dali Llama offered in leu of a caddy’s tip, “When you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So, I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.” Yes, Carl, it is nice. Treasure it.

It has been a long time since I’ve been nervous for one of my kids. Years of (insert sport/extracurricular activhumor ity here) Mom experiences and calls from teachers have desensitized my physiological reactions to their performances, high-stakes tests and various academic/employment applications.

And now that we’ve successfully launched one off to college, I understand that a few failures along the way will do more for a child than a record-breaking season or a straight-A’s semester. Suffice it to say, I don’t freak very easily over my children’s exploits.

Nevertheless, there are still moments when I want to cry and vomit and cower in the back of my mini-van mumbling every Catholic prayer I know. One of those was yesterday while my younger son attempted to pass the road exam for his driver’s license during a downpour of Biblical proportions in a flooded town known for its obscene number of roundabouts. Seriously, conditions couldn’t have been worse, and he was already anxious about his parallel parking, which earlier had been abysmal.

After I dropped him off with the instructor, I immediately headed for the nearest empty lot to panic. Although I remained in the driver’s seat, I did fight back tears and say 10 Hail Marys. This kid needed a win. Please, God, give him a win! But it was completely out of my control.

He passed, and nailed the parallel parking! More importantly, I added another layer of parenting experiences to my emotional armor. I hope it’s enough. His twin tests tomorrow.

Peace out.

New exhibit explores arts space in Fishers Commentary by Daniel Kloc, president of Fishers Arts Council Fishers quickly is emerging as a progressive metropolitan hub, a place for entrepreneurs and opinion creative minds. As Fishers continues to grow and evolve, creating – and growing – a strong cultural climate is key. The City of Fishers has embraced the arts. Through a partnership with Fishers Arts Council and others, we have implemented public art displays, bring in artists for the annual summer Arts Crawl and host Art in City Hall. But what we don’t have is a place for the arts, a facility for indoor performing arts or a dedicated art gallery.

That’s why Fishers Arts Council is so excited about “The Art of Design: An exhibit by Ball State University students.”

From 4 to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 6, at Meyer Najem, 11787 Lantern Rd., you’ll be able to see seven different ideas for a visual

and performance arts space. Ball State University professor Timothy Gray’s thirdyear architecture class has spent the last several weeks studying downtown Fishers and coming up with conceptual designs that would fit within our city. They have designed spaces for a black box theater where our local organizations could perform, where we could launch a community theater and where we could host a holiday performance indoors. It’s a space where we could display visual arts, too.

I think you’ll be impressed at the details you’ll see from these young, creative minds. We hope not only will this be an interesting opportunity to see their ideas, but maybe this will spark ideas you may have for the City of Fishers to advance arts and culture in our city.

I hope you’ll take some time Dec. 6 to stop by, see the designs and join in a discussion about the arts.

Hold the mayo Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I recently exchanged a few words over mayonnaise. Sometimes condiments can be seen as an humor insult to the chef. Like ketchup, for example. When I pour Heinz over my wife’s beef bourguignon, we always get into a stew.

It all started one morning when Mary Ellen was searching for the sugar and noticed that I had accidentally placed the opened mayonnaise jar in the cupboard rather than back in the fridge the night before. Mary Ellen then tossed the jar in the garbage, along with this denouement: “It’s no good. We have to throw it out.� I begged to differ. I couldn’t accept the product’s ruin in just a few hours. I say if you can’t fight off bacteria overnight, you’re not worth the preservatives you’re made of.

The next day, desperate for a smear on my BLT, I fished the mayonnaise out of the garbage and slathered it on my bread.

Hours later my son stopped by and made himself an egg salad sandwich. When Mary Ellen discovered what I had done, she panicked. “Are you trying to wipe out the entire family?�

I read the mayonnaise label. It did say: REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING. There was an 800 number next to that warning, a hotline for people with emergency mayonnaise questions. “Hello, you’ve reached the Mayonnaise Hotline.� “Hi. I have a question about food poisoning.� “This is the mayonnaise hotline, not the Mayo Clinic. I know what you’re going to ask. Husbands call all day long with this question. Look, our mayonnaise is loaded with acids that can actually kill bacteria.

And the eggs used in prepared mayonnaise are pasteurized. It’s perfectly safe to eat.� “So I shouldn’t throw it out?� “Of course you should throw it out! A man can’t win a mayonnaise argument with his wife.�

He was right, of course. I didn’t tell Mary Ellen about my phone call. It would have been Hellman’s to pay.

CrossFit gym focuses on customer relationships

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Back in August of 2016, Bryan and Missy McDowell opened Revival Fitness and CrossFit HSE after fitness selling their much-larger gym. Since this was not Bryan and Missy’s first time owning a gym, they said they knew the smaller size of Revival Fitness would be a better environment for customers.

“Our first two gyms were rather large,” Bryan said. “The last gyms we had, since it was such a large facility, the athletes probably didn’t get as much one-on-one attention as they do here in a small facility. I think we offer a little more one-on-one attention. We are a lot closer to the community and we form relationships.”

The couple own the gym and work there as personal trainers. Some of the other classes they offer along with CrossFit are Burn, Pound and Mom Wod. Burn was created for customers with busy schedules and lasts only 30 to 45 minutes. Pound incorporates light-weight drumsticks to move along

with music. Mom Wod is made specifically for moms to get back in shape after having a baby.

The name Revival Fitness has significant meaning for Bryan, who dealt with drug addiction in 2004 and 2005 and used CrossFit as an outlet during his recovery. Missy said their mission when they opened the new gym was to help improve peoples’ lives, health and well-being through exercise, just like it had helped Bryan.

“It (Bryan’s experience) really resonates with people there (at the gym) because we have a lot of people that struggle with addiction,” Missy said.

“They manage to find us and come in and we help their lives get turned around because CrossFit is a great outlet for many people that are recovered or in recovery. We want to have open arms and open hearts to people who need a place to go work out and who need somebody to care about them.”

Dispatches Frontier market stocks – Frontier markets are rapidly growing countries that are in earlier stages of economic development than their emerging-market neighbors. They can offer cheaper valuations and stronger growth than emerging markets. Here are three frontier market stocks that have done well the past year and should continue the trend: 1. Grupo Financiero Galicia (GGAL) – financial services company in Argentina.

2. Kaz Minerals PLC (KZMYY) – copper exporter in Kazakhstan.

3. NMC Health PLC (NMHLY) – health care company in multiple countries.

Update your resume now – January is one of the best times to begin a job search, according to experts at Monster. com. The best time to get a resume out is right after New Year’s Day when hiring managers are back to work and not distracted by holiday preparations. So this is a good time to start updating that resume.

11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

By Tom Blessing Indiana Special Education Attorney Hollingsworth & Zivitz tblessing@hzlegal.com I get lots of calls from parents whose special needs children do things which get them in trouble at public schools, leading to suspension, expulsion, placement in an interim setting and even juvenile criminal charges. Sometimes schools will call parents (often repeatedly) asking them to come pick up their child from school early if the child is having a rough day. The law gives substantial protections to students in special education as well as those who do not yet have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) if the school had reason to suspect the child had a disability.

Many parents think they don’t have a choice when the school proposes putting their child on a half-day schedule or asks them to come pick him up early, but under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), disabled students are generally entitled to attend public school for the same hours as their typical peers; they can’t be sent home early or put on a shortened school day schedule just because their behaviors are difficult to manage.

The legal term for taking a child out of his classroom for disciplinary reasons is a “removal,” and a removal for any portion of a school day is considered a removal for the whole day: if your child is sent home 5 hours into a 6-hour school day, that counts as an entire day out of school. A removal can range from making a child sit in the hallway or sending him to the office up to suspension or expulsion. Schools can generally remove disabled students for up to 10 days without providing services, but the law requires schools to follow certain procedures to remove a student for more than 10 days in a given school year. A

removal of a student for more than 10 consecutive school days or a series of removals that constitute a pattern is considered a “disciplinary change of placement.” The law requires public schools to follow certain procedures before making a disciplinary change of placement of students with disabilities, so I recommend consulting a special education lawyer if you find your child in this situation.

I recommend documenting it every time you are called by the school to come pick up your child so you can keep track of the removals. You may be entitled to compensatory educational services to make up for the lost time. If your child is being removed for more than 10 days (expelled), the law requires the school to hold what’s called a manifestation determination conference. This is a meeting with school staff to determine if the child’s behavior was related to his disability or if the school failed to follow his IEP, in which case the school has to conduct a functional behavior assessment (FBA) of the student. If you disagree with the outcome of the manifestation determination you may appeal it by filing a request for a due process hearing.

Students who are charged with offenses involving drugs, weapons or serious bodily injury may be placed in an interim school setting for up to 45 days even if the behavior was related to their disability. An Independent Hearing Officer can order a student placed in an interim setting for up to 45 days if she believes the student is substantially likely to injure someone at school. I’ve had a couple cases where schools tried to place a student in an interim setting even though his conduct did not meet the criteria for that, so it’s a good idea to consult a special education attorney if your child’s school schedules a manifestation determination conference.

If your special needs child is in trouble at school, call or email me for a free consultation.

Oak Ridge Boys bring show to The Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Super to bring magic show to ZPAC editorial@youarecurrent.com

Don’t worry, Richard Sterban assures, this might be a Christmas show, but the Oak Ridge Boys will deficoncert nitely be singing their biggest hit.

“I get asked that all the time, ‘Even though it’s a Christmas show, are we still going to hear ‘Elvira?’ The answer is, ‘Yes, you will,’” Sterban said. “That’s the law.

The Oak Ridge Boys must do ‘Elvira.’”

The Oak Ridge Boys’ holiday tour will stop at The Palladium in Carmel at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7.

“Believe it or not, this is going to be our 29th annual Christmas tour, and we have been rehearsing Christmas music since sometime in September,” said Sterban, the group’s bass singer. “Our Christmas shows have become a big, big part of our year. We’ve become known for our Christmas music and have seven Christmas albums.”

The latest one, “The Oak Ridge Boys Celebrate Christmas,” is available at Cracker Barrel restaurants.

Sterban said the Christmas show is a bargain.

“It’s really two shows for the price of one,” Sterban said. “For about 45 minutes, we do our regular music, mostly our hits, that we do during our regular concerts.

We then take an intermission and do a complete Christmas show.”

Sterban said the songs cover all sides of Christmas, secular, fun and romantic.

From left, William Lee Golden, Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen and Richard Sterban of the Oak Ridge Boys (Submitted photo)

Santa Claus makes an appearance and goes out in the audience. That is followed by what Sterban calls the rocking chair segment.

“The four Oak Ridge Boys sit in Cracker Barrel rocking chairs and sit in front of a fireplace. Each guy takes a turn talking about childhood Christmas memories,” Sterban said. “We talk about what it means to us individually and what Christmas music has meant to our career. It’s a great time for our fans to get to know the Oak Ridge Boys. It’s a highlight of the show. After that, we segue into a section with a song that talks about the true

meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus.

That’s very important to us and our fans.

It’s a great way for families to spend time together around the holiday season.”

Sterban said the Christmas show is the same each night. During their regular concert, they might vary their set list each performance.

“There are several reasons for our longevity, but the No. 1 reason is we love doing what we do,” Sterban said. “We do not plan to retire any time soon.”

This lineup has been together since 1973.

Lewis, Pizzarelli pay tribute to Nat King Cole Jazz veterans Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli combine forces to pay tribute to Nat King Cole at 8 p.m. Dec. 8 at The Palladium.

“It’s a combination of songs Nat King Cole recorded and made popular in his lifetime,” Lewis said. “His album, especially the one with the ‘Christmas Song,’ is on the charts every year. Then there are favorites of John and favorites of mine. We just end up having a lot of fun with those songs because Christmas

music is heartwarming and it’s that time of the year.”

Pianist Lewis is joined by his trio and Pizzarelli on guitar and vocals.

Lewis is looking forward to returning to The Palladium.

“It’s a wonderful place to play,” Lewis said. “The people are warm and inviting.

There might even be a sing-along, if they are good.”

Mike Super has been obsessed with magic since visiting a magic shop at Walt Disney World at age 6.

That started a lifetime passion that has led Super to a career.

“Every day I thank the Lord I get the privilege to do what I do for a living,” Super said. “I’ve surpassed Super my wildest childhood dreams, and I hope I keep getting to do what I do until I’m too old to do it.”

Super will perform his magic and illusion show at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center.

Super, 41, was the winner of NBC’s “Phenomenon” in 2007, the show’s only season, and was a Top 12 finalist on “America’s Got Talent” in 2014.

Robb Day’s mission is to make his own version of an iconic performance.

The Fishers resident pertheater forms George Bailey “It’s a Wonderful Life, The Radio Play” in the Carmel Theatre Company at The Cat Theatre, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel.

The performances start Nov. 30 and run through Dec. 17. The Carmel Theatre Company is run by Carmel couple John and June Clair. John is directing the play.

“The radio show is a unique format to stage this show,” Day said. “It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. The challenge for me is to not play Jimmy Stewart because the role is so indelible to what he created. He and Lionel Barrymore as Mr. Potter are the two roles you have to sprinkle in the essence of, but the challenge is to play them. This is my first foray into community theater without it being The Players club.”

The Players directs and produce a few productions per year.

Day said John and June Clair approached him about doing it as a radio show a few years ago. Day played Bailey with The Play-

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Although Kate Barker is in her third year with Butler Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker,” this year is quite ballet different.

Barker, a Noblesville West Middle School eighth-grader, is playing a leading role of Clara.

“Getting to work with college professors and getting to meet with new dancers is really fun,” Barker said. “At the same time, it’s hard dancing on point, but I’ve had a lot of fun before. I really think my technique has improved and my stamina, in general.”

The performances are set for 7:30 p.m.

Nov. 30, 8 p.m. Dec. 1; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Dec. 2; and noon and 5 p.m. Dec. 3 at Butler’s Clowes Hall.

“Kate is always very serious, modest and intelligent in her work,” said Marek Cholewa, Butler University professor of dance.

“It is easy to see that she adores the classical tradition and that she will be a true proponent of it.”

This is Barker’s third appearance in Butler’s production. Her twin sister, Lily, is making her debut this year in the party

scene.

Mya Adams, a Mt. Vernon Middle School sixth-grader who lives in Fortville, is in her third Butler Ballet production. She is playing one of Mother Ginger’s children for the second year in a row.

“This year is fun because a few more girls from my studio are doing it,” Adams said. “What’s cool is each year we have around the same choreography, so I can compare last year to this year.”

The twins and Adams are joined in the production by fellow Ballerinas Academy of Dance Lila Congrove, Noblesville, 13, and Hannah Cutler, Noblesville, 10.

Tickets are available at the box office and through ButlerArtsCenter.org.

Beth She’an National Park in northern Israel. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Beth She’an: History in a park Commentary by Don Knebel Beth She’an National Park in northern Israel provides a unique opportunity to observe the remains of a series of settlements from near the begintravel ning of civilization to the Byzantines.

Beth She’an is strategically located at the intersection of ancient trade routes about 17 miles south of the Sea of Galilee, just west of the Jordan River. According to archaeologists, residents of Beth She’an, who first settled in the area about 7,000 years ago, built a series of villages atop the ruins of earlier ones, creating an artificial hill called Tell el-Hisn (Castle Hill). In the 15th century B.C., Egyptians under Pharaoh Thutmose III captured the area and created an administrative and military center on the hill. In the 12th century B.C., the Egyptians lost control of the area to the Philistines, who had arrived from somewhere in the Mediterranean and used Beth She’an as their base. According to the Bible, the Philistines defeated King Saul at nearby Mt. Gilboa and hung his headless body on a

wall of Beth She’an. King David later drove the Philistines from the area, making Beth She’an part of the Kingdom of Israel. When the Assyrians conquered Israel in 732 B.C., they destroyed Beth She’an.

The Greeks, who conquered the area in the fourth century B.C., built a new city called Scythopolis at the base of Castle Hill.

When the Romans captured the area in 63 B.C., they expanded Scythopolis, adding a theater, a hippodrome and a colonnaded main street. By the first century, Scythopolis had become the capital of the Decapolis, a loose confederation of 10 Greco-Roman cities mentioned in the New Testament. By the fourth century, Scythopolis had become a Christian city, with a number of important churches.

There are many things to see and explore in northern Israel. Beth She’an National Park should be on everyone’s must-see list.
