Matthew Clegg loved going to church and all of its activities.

Matthew died from a giving back sudden medical condition that was unknown to the family at the time. Matthew, a second-grader at Mt. Comfort Elementary School, died May 22, 2016 at age 7.

One day he was at the Indianapolis 500 qualifications and began to feel ill. His parents thought it was the flu. The next morning he had passed out and was rushed to the hospital. He died that day.

“It was pretty fast and jarring,” his father David Clegg said.

To pay tribute to Matthew’s memory and give back to the church community, Clegg and his wife Amanda, from McCordsville, are helping to raise funds for a new playground at McCordsville United Methodist Church.

“The church has just been so supportive of us, it’s been unbelievable,” Clegg said.

“Even today, if we wanted anything, they are there for us, our pastor, especially. A couple of people went to our pastor and discussed replacing our playground and suggested it be for Matthew. When he told us that, it was just overwhelming. It’s such an honor. Matthew loved the church. He liked Sunday school, loved Vacation Bible School, all the kid events, the movie nights and, of course, he was 7, he loved playgrounds. So it seems very fitting.”

A holiday bazaar fundraiser is set from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a luncheon set from 11

a.m. to 2 p.m. at the church, Dec. 9. A freewill offering will be accepted for lunch. The vendor booth fees will be dedicated to the Matthew Clegg Memorial Playground Project.

Clegg said a breakfast (7:30 to 10 a.m.) and a movie night (7 p.m.) are scheduled for Dec. 16.

The new playground will be double in size and designed for ages 2 to 12. The goal is to raise $20,000.

“We’re about a quarter of the way to that,” said Clegg, who has a 12-year-old daughter, Danielle.

Clegg said he hopes the playground will be ready by May and can be dedicated on June 7, 2018, which would be Matthew’s 10th birthday.

Donors who pledge $100 or more will be commemorated on a sign at the playground.

Sertoma club to aid children

Salon cuts hair for charity

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.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.

Fifty Club aids first responders

By Jessica Hoover • news@geistcurrent.com

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

The Fishreligion ers Fifty Club 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 Orusa injury or death. Funds are raised through events and drives and then provided 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 Thompson organization.

The most recent fundraising event was Nov. 8.

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.

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. The 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.

Lawrence officials announce proposal for new police station, 911 communications center

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Standing in the squad room of the Lawrence Police Dept., Mayor Steve Collier and Police Chief David Hofmann announced Nov. 6 their proposal to build cover story a new police station in the city.

Collier said the longoverdue plan comes after work from staff to improve the financial status of the city, particularly that of City Controller Jason Fenwick.

Collier Today, the police station is housed in the city’s Government Center at 9001 E. 59th St., where it has been since 2009 after the former police headquarters flooded.

“What was supposed Hofmann to be temporary has now been eight years and counting,” Collier said.

“The men and women of the Lawrence Police Dept. have been working to make this inadequate space work for far too long.

The time is long past due to give our law enforcement officers and staff a headquarters that is designed and intended to be a police station.”

The proposed site is an approximately 4-acre space from 5140 to 5162 Post Rd., a location known to local residents as the home of the defunct Snafu Saloon.

Collier said the site is central to most police activity in the city and is less than 1 mile from 42nd and Post Road, where the highest level of 911 calls originate.

“With this proposal, we will not only be honoring our men and women of law enforcement with a dedicated, state-of-theart facility to call home, but we will also be transforming a site that is screaming for improvement,” Collier said.

The $12.9 million proposal includes a nearly 37,000-square-foot, two-story police station with a fully equipped basement, a sally port, or small entrance and exit point, for the safe transfer and processing of arrestees; a 2,000-square-foot, detached police vehicle storage and suspect vehicleprocessing garage; and a parking lot with

approximately 150 spaces.

The new station also will feature a 112seat training room to be used by other public safety agencies and community

organizations.

“We simply don’t have enough space, and the space we have is not well equipped,” Lawrence Police Chief David Hofmann said.

“The proposed police station will provide a safer, more secure environment for officers and the public. It will make public safety operations more efficient, and modernizing our operations will result in better policing.”

In addition to providing a new headquarters to the police department, the space also will house a 911 communications and dispatch center for Marion County, for which Lawrence has served as a backup. The center will be in a secure, underground, upgraded communications-technology facility.

“It would be ideal for our police operations to be co-located with our 911 dispatch and communications operations, and I cannot overstate the value of having our 911 center in a more secure, underground location,” Hofmann said.

During the past year, the City of Lawrence has conducted a feasibility study and gathered input from officers, which resulted in the proposed construction of the new building for the department to call home.

The proposed station will include a dedicated roll call room, multiple interview rooms, a room for arrestees who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, dedicated offices for command staff, supervisors, detectives, the community prosecutor and the training officer, who currently works offsite.

The police station also will feature an evidence property room with more capacity and designated spaces for sensitive items, such as firearms, drugs, electronics and homicide evidence, including space and storage for professional standards, internal affairs, the honor guard, the Fraternal Order of Police, the more than 50 Lawrence Explorers and their advisors and code enforcement.

“By building a space that is purposely designed for police functions, we will increase the ease of communications, collaboration and cohesiveness between divisions,” Hofmann said. “And importantly, we will improve the security of transfer of items and people inside controlled areas.”

The mayor’s office filed a resolution earlier this month for the proposed police station and communications center, which will formally introduce the resolution to the Lawrence Common Council.

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@geistcurrent.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.”

Needler’s fresh market opens in Geist

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.

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.”

For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

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.

CTC hosts ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com 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-

ers, which the Clairs directed on Footlite Musicals stage. The Clairs also produced the radio version at Studio 15 with CTC. Day, a Lawrence North High School and Indiana University graduate, pursued an acting career in Los Angeles after college, getting his Screen Actor Guild Card. He returned to the Indianapolis area in 2000 and works as a commercial real estate broker.

Constance Creviston, Carmel, is in the role of Josephine, the head angel. In the movie and other productions, the head angel is Joseph.

Duane Leatherman, a Butler associate math professor who lives in Indianapolis, is playing the angel Clarence.

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.”

“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

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.

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

CCP perform ‘Holiday Cabaret’

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkin@youarecurrent.com ‘Tis the season for arts groups everywhere to offer something for the holidays, whether it is a traditional theater production of “A Christmas Carol” or a show filled with yuletide tunes.

Carmel Community Players is entering the festive fray with “Holiday Cabaret,” Dec. 1 to 3, at the Carmel Community Playhouse.

Directed by Perry and Vince Accetturo, the show distinguishes itself from the others by how it was generated.

“What makes our show unique is that it was created completely based on the performers that we have,” Perry said.

The performers range in age from 15 to 80 and come from a variety of backgrounds — from a trained opera singer to a local news reporter to an improv comedian who loves to sing.

The show is an intimate, cabaret-style performance featuring vocalists from across central Indiana who chose their own holiday favorites to perform – with the Accetturos’ approval, of course.

Perry and Vince Accetturo. (Submitted photo)

“The most fun part for us was to include at least one group number that unites all of these individuals to close out the show,” Perry said. “Without the cabaret, this group of people would likely never share a stage or find themselves working on the same project, and that is something we’ve always loved about our cabarets.”

Patrons might want to arrive earlier than the 7:30 p.m. start times Dec. 1 and Dec. 2 and 1:30 p.m. Dec. 3 to listen to pre-show performances by other community groups.

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.
