The Zionsville Education Foundation recently announced its 2023 spring grants to teachers and schools in the Zionsville Community Schools district. The grants total $37,700.
ZEF members visited Zionsville classrooms and schools, surprising grant recipients March 30.
“We surprise the grant recipients with a prize patrol made up of ZEF board members, staff and community grants committee volunteers,” ZEF Executive Director Lyle Browne said.
“It is always one of the best days of the year as we get to celebrate our teachers and all that they do for their students.”
Two types of grants were awarded — $23,393 for classrooms and $14,330 for imagine professional development. The grants will fund learning experiences for students and provide growth and renewal opportunities for ZCS educators.
ZEF classroom grants fund opportunities for educators to learn about innovative ideas and creative projects for their students. The grant includes funding for math manipulatives for middle schoolers; new technology for high school speech classes; decodable readers for early and emergent readers; and advanced digital illustration tools for high school digital design courses, and hands-on tools for third- and fourth-graders to learn how computers work.
ZEF imagine professional development grants fund professional growth and renewal opportunities for teachers with three or more years of full-time education experience. The grants fund opportunities for educators to attend conferences where they can learn with peers from across the U.S. and have access to subject experts. The investment in professional development has a ripple effect on the quality of education in the community, as teachers bring back new ideas and best practices to their classrooms, according to the ZEF.
“These and other ZEF grants provide much-needed funding that enables teachers to dream big for students at every level, in every school, in all disciplines across our community, and we are grateful to our donors that make these grants possible,” ZEF Board President Mark Pascarella stated.
The ZEF is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the students and staff of Zionsville Community Schools. Since its inception
in 1995, the ZEF has raised more than $1.7 million to fund programs that enhance the educational experience for ZCS students.
ZEF is supported by donations from individuals, businesses, and community organizations. The foundation said that the contributions allow it to continue its mission of empowering students and enriching education in ZCS.
“Writing a grant takes extra time in an already busy career. We love celebrating their hard work and watching their innovative ideas come to fruition for their students,” Browne said.
The grants will be implemented during the 2022-23 school year with continued use by students for years to come.

As pickleball’s popularity continues to grow, Zionsville resident Rick Witsken’s role keeps growing.
Witsken is a co-founder of the National Pickleball League along with fellow Champions Pro (age 50 and older) players Michael “Hammer Mike” Chen, Beth Bellamy and Tom DeCaprio. Bellamy, whose maiden name was Herr, played on the pro women’s tennis tour and was the NCAA singles champion as a University of Southern California freshman.
The Indy Drivers is owned by Arnold Meyer Commercial Real Estate. Paula Nahmias will serve as the chief executive officer.
Witsken almost certainly will be taken by the Indianapolis Drivers, who have the first pick in the draft, which is set for April 14 in Naples, Fla. The draft order was determined at a combine in March in Oklahoma City. Witsken is ranked No. 1 among Champions Pro men.
The league’s regular season weekend matches are set for June to September. The championship weekend is set for Oct. 13-15 at Chicken N Pickle’s indoor facility in Glendale, Ariz.
“There are six cities that bought into the league,” Witsken said. “Each team will have eight men and eight women per team and play at Chicken N Pickle. A Chicken N Pickle is coming to Fishers (in 2024). They are cool restaurants/bars with pickleball courts.”
Witsken said each player pays an $800 entry fee for the six events.
Witsken, who won two IHSAA state singles titles (1987-88) as a Carmel High School tennis player and was a two-time All-American at the University of Alabama, runs Team Witsken to teach tennis and pickleball. He also serves as assistant coach for boys and girls tennis at Zionsville Middle School.
In his division, Witsken has won four gold medals at the U.S. Open and three gold medals at the U.S. American Pickleball Association Nationals.
In 2024, the league will play home and away matches.
In addition to the Indy Drivers, there are teams in Boca Raton, Fla.; Austin, Texas; Naples, Fla.; and Oklahoma City.
The six cities where regular-season games will be played are Dallas, Kansas City (Overland Park, Kan.), Denver, Phoenix
and San Antonio. There will be two matches played in Dallas this year while the Fishers site is being built. There are four head-tohead dual matches played on each regular-season weekend.
“Whoever has the best record is the regular-season champion,” Witsken said. “The highest percent of the payouts will be to whoever wins the championship weekend.”
Witsken said the league avoided going against the major tournaments.
“So plenty of us will be playing individual tournaments when we’re not playing,” said Witsken, who played in 28 tournaments in 2022.
There will be prize money of $100,000 for the league, but Witsken said it hasn’t been determined how the prize money will be awarded.
“That’s 200 percent more than the entry fees we collected,” he said. “The regular season, second place and third place will each get a percentage.
Some of the premier players were not required to pay entry fees and will receive appearance fees at the events.
“As owners of the league, Beth and I chose not to take any appearance money for two years,” Witsken said.
As an example of pickleball’s continued growth, Witsken cited the TV success of the recent Pickleball Slam in Hollywood, Fla., which included tennis players Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, John McEnroe and Michael Chang. The April 2 ESPN telecast was tied for the fifth-highest rated sporting event of the day according to Nielsen ratings.

saw “heavy smoke” coming from the garage and rear portion of the house.
The Zionsville Fire Dept. responded to a house fire at 919 Warbler Way in Zionsville in the early morning hours of April 3.
One resident was home at the time and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
When crews arrived, the ZFD said they
Because of a lack of hydrants in the area, multiple agencies brought water to the scene with tankers. ZFD said the fire was under control within 25 minutes of arrival.
Preliminary damage estimates for the building and contents exceed $200,000. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Fishers High School junior pitcher/ outfielder Jack Brown’s goal for the baseball season is single-minded.
“The goal for this season is to win as many games as we can,” Brown said. “Every person on this team wants to be celebrating on Victory Field at the end of the year.”
Fishers lost to Jasper in the 2021 IHSAA Class 4A state championship baseball game at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
“Losing in 2021 was definitely tough, but the loss in the sectional championship in ’22 was more motivating,” Brown said. “Last year’s loss left a very bad taste in our mouth.”
At the plate, Brown hit .429 with 29 runs batted in last season. On the mound, he had a 5-2 record with a 2.89 ERA.
Through the first five games this season, Brown was hitting .538 and had a 1-0 record

with a 2.33 ERA.
Fishers coach Matthew Cherry said Brown gets better each year.
“He is obviously a very gifted and talented young man,” Cherry said. “He came in as a freshman already physically strong and ready to compete at a high level. Jack has a high baseball IQ and is very self-aware about his strengths and weaknesses and
about his own throwing and swing mechanics. Jack has really grown into a baseball player who can make adjustments to his swing and throwing mechanics at any point in the offseason, during the season, in the middle of a game, etc.
“He has always been a hitter who doesn’t
try to do too much. He stays true to himself and hits line drives all over the field and allows extra-base hits to just happen.”
Brown said his biggest improvement has been becoming a better all-around baseball player.
“I made time to be a better pitcher, better hitter and I’ve gotten faster,” Brown said. “I love being a two-way player because I’m on the field every day. I like having an impact on the game in multiple ways, every time we play.”
Cherry said Brown has also grown as a leader.
“He is very comfortable with who he is and has started to emerge as more of a vocal leader,” Cherry said. “His leadership is not so much of a ‘rah-rah’ kind of leadership as much as talking 1-on-1 with his teammates about their grips on their pitches or some tweaks guys could make in their swings. Jack does a good job of talking 1-on1 with his teammates, and together they’ve continued to learn and grow as players.”
Brown committed to the University of Louisville in the fall of 2021.
“Louisville checked all the boxes I was looking for in a place to go,” Brown said.

In celebration of National Poetry Month in April, space-themed poetry banners are hanging on lampposts around downtown Zionsville and hold special meaning.
assemble the works of more than 30,000 artists, writers, musicians and filmmakers from 156 nations in four time capsules and send them to the moon.
Zionsville resident Joyce Brinkman, program chair of Brick Street Poetry, a nonprofit whose mission is to connect individuals through poetry, said she designed the banners using a space theme titled “Expand your universe with some verse.” It was inspired by a poem titled “Mapping the news” that will be launched to the moon this year using intuitive machines and SpaceX rockets.
“This year, we are going to have a poem that was in our official Indiana bicentennial book sent into space as part of the Lunar Codex,” she said.
The Lunar Codex project is an art and cultural project that will
“We’ve got space on our minds right now, so I added some images from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope on the banners hoping the images will inspire poets to write during National Poetry Month,” Brinkman said.
A total of eight banners are displayed downtown with poems written by eight Zionsville poets.
Each poet wrote a haiku poem, a form of Japanese poetry made of short, unrhymed lines that evoke natural imagery and a coordinating space image.
“Haiku poems are shorter poems, and we didn’t have space on the banner, so it seemed like a wonderful match to put a haiku poem with a natural space image,” Brinkman said. People can read the space poetry banners throughout April.

Each year, we host Easter at our house. It’s always a large crowd of adults, teens and wee ones. I usually do a turkey on the grill, and just about everybody brings food.
Eating starts around 1 p.m. and continues throughout the day. Cookies, cakes, pies and other scrumptious tidbits tie up the loose ends.
Soon after the first wave of eating passes, the egg hunt begins. This is special because the adult kids in the family have organized it down to a tee. Someone buys assorted toys, inexpensive items such as whirligigs, inflatable baseball bats and the like.
The eggs themselves are the pull-apart plastic variety. Slips of paper inscribed with numbers 1 to 10 are inserted into each egg. Each number corresponds to a particular toy. You can imagine what it’s like when a tidal wave of munchkins comes running up to the “toy store” with baskets of eggs to redeem.
After the excitement dies down a notch
or two and the backyard is littered with toys, a sing-along launches on the front porch. At least one or two guitars show up and a growing choir of adults and youngsters join in singing just about every song they ever knew.
Everybody goes home filled with food and good humor, vowing to do it again next Easter. During the next few weeks, I will find unredeemed eggs in the nooks and crannies of the yard. Here and there, a broken and discarded toy.
When I was a kid, Easter was simpler. We got up in the morning and searched for the eggs our parents had hidden throughout the house the night before. Then we dressed in new clothes, went to church, came home and sat down to Easter dinner built around the biggest ham I’d ever seen. The eggs back then were real eggs, hardboiled the week before.

J.R. Sandadi of Carmel left the corporate world several years ago to focus on volunteer service. His efforts have included running marathons to raise money for charity and serving as a board member of the Carmel Interfaith Alliance.
How do you motivate yourself to keep going on marathon training runs or races?
Having a meaningful purpose for each marathon. For example, running to support a particular cause or charity can provide extra motivation to train harder and perform better during the race. Whatever the cause, having a purpose beyond personal goals can provide a sense of fulfillment and help to stay committed to training and performing at one’s best.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Never stop learning. My dad always used to say, life is a journey of continuous learning and growth. Stay curious, explore new things and embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and improve.
What is your dream vacation?
Banff and Jasper National Parks with serene lakes, stunning trails and abundant wildlife is a favorite vacation of mine. A close second is Iceland, a place of magically haunting beauty that mesmerized me with its stark landscapes and surreal natural wonders, with cascading waterfalls, vast glaciers and mesmerizing Northern Lights. What food do you most dislike?
Cabbage. Enough said. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
Healing powers. The ability to heal others would be a valuable superpower for situations where people are suffering from physical or emotional pain.

More than 50 years ago, longtime Zionsville residents Mark and Sally Zelonis dedicated one year of service as Peace Corps volunteers inside the village of Karnplay in Liberia, which inspired a lifelong dedication to serve.
“Helping others to better themselves seemed like a noble goal,” Mark said.
In a recent book titled ‘Never the Same Again: Life, Service, and Friendship in Liberia,’ published in 2022, Mark and Sally shared their story and experiences in the West African nation of Liberia. In February, the married couple spoke at the Hussey-Mayfield Public Library in Zionsville on the importance of volunteering in underdeveloped nations.
For the Zelonis, now retired, serving in the Peace Corps from 1971 to 1972 was a natural next step in their lives. Both had college degrees but heard — and answered — a calling to serve, embarking on a journey across the world to Liberia.
“I had always wanted to go to Africa because my family had hosted students from Ethiopia and Vietnam,” Sally said. “Peace Corps offered Liberia, and I felt fortunate.”
The Peace Corps is a volunteer program that sends Americans to work in developing nations to help promote peace and understanding through cross-cultural exchange.
The Zelonis arrived in Liberia with a goal to enrich the villagers’ lives through farming and teaching English.
Mark, specializing in horticulture and garden cultivation and management, was assigned to help the villagers grow coffee and cacao to address the village’s food security needs and provide sustainable income for the villagers to buy medicine for their families and to send their children to school.
“I had never grown coffee or cacao, but I did have the education,” Mark said. “I would go from village to village and meet with the chief to promote a program to the farmers to buy seeds for coffee and cocoa to start a nursery.”
The Karnplay village, right outside Monrovia — Liberia’s capital city — is a cocoa bean and rice-farming community that Mark said has “distinct signs of abject poverty.”
“Most people there live day to day,” Mark said. “They grow enough rice and vegetables for the day. People there don’t have a lot, so when we arrived, it was obvious to us that they needed our help.”
Sally, who has a degree in elementary education, was assigned as a teacher in the village school to teach children up to sixth grade how to read, write and speak English.
“When I arrived in the village, I only had five days of language training,” Sally said. “The language they speak in the village isn’t a written language. It is one of 16 dialects with no books or written alphabet.”
Sally said she would climb a hill to get to the school with her rice bag satchel, a notebook, a pencil and chalk.
“When I looked out in front of me, there were six long rows of students numbering at least several hundred,” she said.
Many of Sally’s students faced daily obstacles, from no food or uniforms to long-distance walks and chores on the farm.
During their time in Liberia, the couple became acquainted with one of the villagers, Gabriel Mongrue, who taught the young couple about Liberian culture.
“Gabriel looked out for us and introduced us to important people in our village of Karnplay, like the blacksmith, the weaver and potter, and even the paramount chief,” Mark said. “Without him, we would have missed much of the life in that distant corner of Liberia.”
Gabriel, who moved to the U.S. 30 years ago with the Zelonis’ help, said Mark and Sally helped him recognize himself as an individual.
“Now I know family is not all about genetics, blood and skin color,” Gabriel said. “Family is about who loves you and is always there to hold your hand and lead you into the light from the darkness of destitution and on to a destination of light and hope. For this, I’m very thankful to the Zelonis.”
The Zelonis attended traditional ceremonies, including the Devils’ celebration. The Devils are men dressed in costumes who perform special black magic and are meant to resemble the spirits of the forest.
“Some of the village’s celebrations would have dancing and drumming that would go on all night,” Mark said. “It was very exciting, and the locals enjoyed it.”
Despite the challenges, the Zelonis returned home with a new appreciation for life.
“I carry my Liberian lessons of life and learning with me to this day — 50 years later,” Sally said.
After several years of teaching elementary education, Sally began a 25-year career in fundraising for nonprofits. She serves on the board of directors for Friends of Liberia and the Indianapolis Zoo.
Mark, who spent his career in public horticulture and museum work, worked at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. He said he keeps busy with various volunteer work and leads tours to gardens and cultural sites across the U.S. He is also active in the historic preservation efforts in Zionsville, at Crown Hill Cemetery & Arboretum in Indianapolis, and with the Library of American Landscape History.
The couple said their experience with the Peace Corps was “life-changing,” and they hope to continue inspiring others to volunteer.
In honor of the 60th anniversary of the Peace Corps in Liberia, Friends of Liberia — a nonprofit started in 1985 by returning Liberia volunteers — has sponsored readings from the new book, “Never the Same Again: Life, Service, and Friendship in Liberia.” Mark and Sally Zelonis of Zionsville were contributing authors.
The book is an anthology of 63 stories and poems written by FOL members. Proceeds from its sales are to benefit humanitarian programs in Liberia. The book can be purchased at Amazon and Peace Corps Worldwide, among other places.
Most contributors were first-time authors. Their periods of Peace Corps/Liberia service spanned 60 years. The selected stories and poems all have the qualities of eliciting emotion and providing a learning experience.
Friends of Liberia is a U.S.-based, non-governmental nonprofit that seeks to positively affect Liberia by supporting education, social, economic and humanitarian programs through advocacy efforts. It has more than 2,000 members in the United States, Liberia, and other nations. Friends of Liberia, Inc. is a volunteer-managed organization.

Longtime Zionsville friends Emilie Ritchie and Rachel Vining, who previously worked together at the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, are opening a new bake shop and cafe in Zionsville April 28.
“Spending time around small businesses at the chamber grew a desire to find our strengths. Me and Emilie felt like this was a logical next step for us,” Vining said.
The new establishment, the Zionsville Bake Shop, at 7629 West Stonegate Dr., will offer a variety of baked goods, including cupcakes, decorated sugar cookies and pastries, along with breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, soup and salad and special-order cake items.
The owners have a few specialty items in mind that they believe will set the cafe apart from others.
“We will have a cinnamon butter Danish and cake medallions,” Ritchie said.
The owners have spent several months renovating the space into a modern bake shop.
“The aesthetic of the space just came
organically when we envisioned the type of place that we would want to be,” Vining said. “The overall look of the bake shop is a combination of me and Emilie’s two personalities coming together.”
The owners said they want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where customers can relax, enjoy coffee and indulge in baked treats or lunch.
“The bake shop is a mix between a bake shop and a cafe, so there will be plenty of open seating for customers to order at the counter and sit and eat,” Ritchie said.
Besides the regular menu, the bake shop will also offer catering services, including a separate event space available on-site.
Most of us find our inboxes filled every day with offers, newsletters, promises and threats, nearly always unsolicited, from folks we’ve not heard of and don’t know. “The nation’s leading dietician recommends this tree bark to melt fat,” shouts the headline. Maybe, but probably not. Regardless, we find ourselves confronted with claims to be sorted. This week, a dear friend, unknown until now, named Hadley, urged reading of her recent study that discovered that 1 in 3 good Hoosier workers fear that artificial intelligence, or AI, will take their jobs. While Hadley insinuates that the closeness of our imagined friendship is all that is required to establish her expertise, a reasonable person might question the veracity of her findings.
Still, AI is worthy of further consideration. While it is likely premature to prepare “Terminator” movie-style for the coming hordes of occupying machines, we can see clearly that many of the mundane human tasks of a generation ago have already been supplanted by “smart” devices. Automobiles do
not require tuning, and long-distance telephone calls occur without the intervention of an operator. Good. Rather than lament the emerging technology as cataclysmic, is there a path to its use that benefits those of us who might be replaced? Could this column have been written by a smart bot? Probably, and some will assert that it would be better. Would it follow then that some AI “writer” might build a following and celebrity? Would we send letters of praise and criticism? Or would we recognize that arguing with an algorithm is unlikely to advance humankind?
If so, does the human element remain essential? Can AI, with all the data in the known universe, come to “feel”? Will it know fear, hope, longing, pride or envy? Will it teach us how to swim yet never touch the water?
Friends, most of you know that I am not a night person, nor even really an evening one. My ideal dinner time is 5 p.m., with bed around 8 p.m. If I can’t adhere to this schedule, let’s just say I degrade rapidly. And if sleep deprivation is already in the house, well, god help you all.
Such was the case recently when I headed over to a fancy steak restaurant with my sisters-in-law to celebrate one of their milestone birthdays. I’d slept terribly and was running on cheese sticks and willpower when I showed up for the 6:30 reservation. We had to wait another 20 minutes to be seated before receiving notably slow service and didn’t place our orders until 7:30. Seven. Freaking. Thirty. Can you feel my pain? See preferred timeline above.
I could sense myself becoming more withdrawn from the conversation, falling into a familiar flight or fight space where
I’m trying to calm my panic and figure out a polite way to bail. Should I tell the truth and leave? Is that rude? Should I suck it up and persevere? It’s her birthday! Ugh. Oh, lord, what if they want dessert?
Ultimately, I pulled it together and stayed to split the check. But the lateness of the meal and the day was simply too much. I stomped into the house at 9:30, growled at my husband, Doo, and grumpily hit the sack, wearing full-eye makeup and a cloak of bitterness.
Anyhoo, this is why I’d rather eat an afternoon frozen pizza on the couch and then make my way to bed before dark. Everyone’s happy, no one gets hurt. Peace out.

A British researcher has come up with a fascinating theory. His premise is that when fathers tell dumb jokes and lame puns, it prepares their kids to deal with awkward circumstances, giving them a little experience in life with embarrassing and demeaning situations. So, were the jokes I told my son bad, and if so, was that a good thing?
I called Brett, who is now an adult, to share the story I had just read.
“Brett, it’s Dad. I need to tell you something.”
“Geesh, Dad, I’m 35 years old. Not another juvenile joke!“
“That’s just what I was hoping you’d say. I read an article that claims my telling dumb jokes to you when you were a kid helped you grow into a well-adjusted adult.”
“It’s true, Dad. I never thought you were funny, but reacting to your lame puns really did help me deal with other awkward experiences down the road.”
“Brett, that is exactly what the British psychologist said. Are there any jokes that were particularly bad that might have really led you to a more productive and satisfying life?”
“Well, I remember one about the duck who walked into a pharmacy and said, ‘I need some lip balm, and you can put it on my bill.’ Now, Dad, that’s just a dreadful joke. I found it demeaning and insulting for both of us.”
“Thank you so much for saying that. How lucky you were to have such a humorless
And now, a 100 percent true story of how I really did humiliate Brett some 30 years ago.
Brett was in the fourth grade, and I was doing field reporting for WISH-TV. The Broadway show “Cats” was playing at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, and I thought it would be fun to have the makeup artist apply the same cosmetics on me as she did for the actors in the show. The process took quite a while. When I looked at myself in the mirror some two hours later, it was bizarre feeling like my normal self but staring at a cat in the reflection. That’s when I had an idea. I would go to my son’s class and surprise the kids with my new feline face. When I reached the school, I checked in to the main office, explained my plan and made my way to Brett’s room. After getting the teacher’s attention through the tiny side window and identifying myself, I slithered in through the door.
The kids went wild — screaming, laughing, meowing. “Who is it?” asked one kid in the front row. No one knew who I was, of course, with one notable exception.
From the back of the room came my son’s voice dripping in embarrassment, “Probably my father.”

Mother Nature can be a real mother. Especially when it comes to roofs. That’s why you should consider a roof that stands the test of Father Time. Bone Dry. We’ve been around for over 30 years because we install roofs that last just as long. Nothing weathers the weather quite like a Bone Dry roof.

Composer John Berners’ admiration for author William Faulkner inspired a piece called “In Rowan Oak.”
“An American in Paris” runs through May 14 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.
‘THE
“I wanted to write a dramatic, new romantic-kind of Gothic-sounding piece,” said Berners, a Greenwood resident and music professor at the University of Indianapolis. “The title came after I was already working on music. But Faulkner is described as a Southern gothic writer, and his books are all set in Mississippi in the early 20th century. There’s lots of tension in that society, for sure. There is a tragic aura hanging over everything, and that does match the music. I named the piece after his home in Oxford, Mississippi.”
Berners wrote the original piece for a chamber orchestra.
“I reworked the whole thing for a full symphony orchestra,” Berners said. “I tore out half of it and replaced it, so all of it has been rewritten. It’s not really the same piece anymore, even though the title is the same and some of the themes are the same. It was pretty much comparable to writing a whole new piece.”
The world premiere of the composition will be included in Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s Masterworks 5 concert at 7:30 p.m. April 22 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
Berners is married to CSO principal flute player Tammy Thweat.
“I heard John’s music online and was immediately attracted to it,” CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes said. “There is an angular, percussive sound to it with a compelling result.”
Berners wrote the original piece more than 12 years ago.
After talking with Hymes, Berners decided to expand the piece to include a full brass and percussion section.
“So that became my summer project of 2022,” he said. “The original piece had things that Janna liked and things I liked,
so I didn’t want to just discard it. I wanted to rejuvenate that material. We made it bigger, and we think it will have more drama to it with the full orchestra and the huge concert hall because it is gothic music.”
Hymes said she loves premiering new works.
“There is always an excitement about playing a world premiere, a piece that has never been played before as there are no expectations or comparisons to other performances,” Hymes said. “It’s always a treat to work with living composers.”
Cellist Sterling Elliott will be a special guest at the concert, performing on selections from Camille Saint-Saens and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
“Sterling is an amazing young man,” Hymes said. “At 23, he is mature, calm and has an extremely warm heart. His playing is spectacular with a depth and sophistication beyond his years. This will be our third time working together. I just performed with him in a concert in Arizona and he was brilliant.”
Hymes said Elliott possesses tremendous charisma.
“I know our audience is going to fall in love with this young musician and his extraordinary abilities,” she said.
Elliott learned to play the cello at age 3 and made his concerto debut at age 7. He is a student at New York’s Juilliard School of Music

“Air” is a great American sports story about the unconventional team behind the rise of the Air Jordan brand.
It was 1984. “The A-Team” was a hit with TV audiences, Cyndi Lauper and Run DMC occupied the airwaves, Cabbage Patch Dolls made every girl’s Christmas list, and Larry Bird, Moses Malone and Magic Johnson dominated the NBA. Adidas and Converse captured most of the sports shoe market, while Nike had only 7 percent of the industry’s sales.
Directed and produced by Ben Affleck, “Air” is an inspiring story about the pressures of risking it all. Matt Damon, who also serves as a producer on the film, plays Sonny Vaccaro and is tasked with delivering a much-needed boost to Nike’s floundering basketball division. Relying on instincts, he decides to bet everything on then-rookie Michael Jordan, the third-overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft.
In competing for Jordan’s attention, Vaccaro builds a relationship with Deloris, played by EGOT winner Viola Davis, the
mother who negotiated the unprecedented deal that changed the world of sports marketing forever. The casting of Davis, the story’s central character, was Michael Jordan’s idea.
“Air” breaks all the rules in an entertaining and heartwarming story for sports and movie fans alike.

“It’s going to be a wide range,” IWS musical director Charles Conrad said. “We’re going to hit some big early film scores like ‘Gone with The Wind,’ ‘Citizen Kane’ and “The Wizard of Oz.’”
Conrad said the concert will include a piece from “Lawrence of Arabia,” a 1962 film.
“Then we’ll do some more recent ones like ‘The Mission,’ ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Cowboys’ and ‘Titanic,’”

“All the film scores on this concert are fun, but I am probably looking forward to the ‘Suite from Titanic’ by Jari Villanueva,” McCready said. “It’s a 15-minute, four-movement suite that includes a whole range of memorable music from the movie, and of course it ends with ‘My Heart Will Go On.’ The band sounds great, and I’m honored to get to work with them on this concert.”
McCready also is conducting a piece from “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.”
Conrad said he is intrigued by Hermann’s “Citizen Kane” overture, which he didn’t remember.

Don’t you love when linguistics and geography collide? No, I’m not talking about the town of Noun, Alaska, where people, places, things and ideas live in harmony; I’m talking about different names for different places. Different pen strokes for different kin folks, I suppose. And, just so you know, Noun, Alaska, is not real (although it should be).
Based on my one semester as an English major and my finalist status in the fourth-grade geography bee, I am completely qualified to cover the intersection of the two topics.
We should start with the world’s tallest mountain, although it will be all downhill from here. Famously, Mount Everest was named after 19th-century Surveyor General of India George Everest. Although I can confirm Everest never climbed his eponymous mountain, legend has it that he never even set eyes on it. Mount Everest is the mountain’s exonym, while its Tibetan endonym is Chomolungma, and the Nepali endonym is Sagarmatha.
Regarding some of the world’s largest capital, their inhabitants and fellow countrymen have local names (endonyms) for them, while in the U.S. and elsewhere, we have other names (exonyms). For instance, Rome (exonym) is known locally as Roma (endonym). Russia’s capital city of Moscow (exonym) is known internally as Moskva (endonym).
Today, in our continuing tour of Israel and the Palestinian Territories, we come to Jericho, a city with biblical significance and many historic firsts.
Jericho, with a population of about 20,000, is in the Palestinian Territories just west of the Jordan River and about 20 miles east of Jerusalem. Although located within the Judean Desert, Jericho has long been known as the City of Palms because of its lush tropical landscape, watered by underground springs. Nomads attracted by those springs founded Jericho in about 10,000 B.C., creating what many believe is the world’s first permanent settlement. In about 9,400 B.C., Jericho residents erected the world’s first city walls. A cylindrical stone tower in Jericho, built in about 8,000 B.C., was the tallest man-made structure in the world until about 2,650 B.C., when it was surpassed by the stepped pyramid of Djoser in Egypt. At 846 feet below sea level, Jericho is the lowest city in the world.
Jericho is the site of the biblical story where Joshua “fought the battle” and the “walls came tumbling down.” Most archaeologists today believe that the walls of Jericho were destroyed by an earthquake hundreds of years before the presumed time of Joshua and that Jericho was not occupied at that time. Jericho is near where the Bible says Jesus was tempted by Satan for 40 days and 40 nights before he began his ministry. The Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Temptation in the hills above Jericho, a popular tourist destination reachable by cable car, remembers that story. Jericho is
the eastern terminus of the treacherous Jericho Road leading to Jerusalem that was the setting for Jesus’ parable about the Good Samaritan. Jericho is also the site of the story of Jesus healing the blind beggar and dining with Zacchaeus while on his way to Jerusalem for the last time.
Today, we’re delving into the world of endonyms and exonyms. If that sounds Greek to you, that’s because it is! Endonyms and exonyms are both toponyms, or “place names.” The suffix “-nym” translates to “name,” while “endo-” and “exo-” respectively mean “in” and “out.”
This means endonyms are place names used by people inside a place, while exonyms are those used by people outside a place. How about some examples?
