Rotary Club Raising Money For Phillipine Victims
The Salem Rotary Club is raising funds to assist with disaster relief in the Philippines as a result of Super Typhoon Haiyan. The storm destroyed entire coastal towns with record winds and tsunami like waves as much as 16 feet in height. The city of Tacloban was nearly destroyed. Over a half a million people are estimated to have lost their homes.
All funds raised by Salem Rotary will be given to ShelterBox USA. www.shelterboxusa.org. Each shelter box contains a tent, thermal blankets, water purification supplies, a basic took kit, a multi-fuel cook stove and utensils, and a children’s pack. ShelterBox USA is a Rotary affiliated organization.
Each Shelter Box costs $1,000.00 and weighs approximately 120 pounds. Each Rotarian has been challenged to raise $99 towards this effort. This will fund three shelter boxes. Salem Rotary Club is seeking additional donations from the community to purchase additional boxes.
President Mike Motsinger stated, “Anyone wanting to contribute to this huge relief effort and who wants to be sure that their donation is used for the purpose for which its given can donate through Salem Rotary Club”. All donations are tax deductible. Donations for this purpose can be given to any Rotary member, dropped off at Old National Bank, First Savings Bank, Regions, First Harrison, Mead Law Office, Loy & Fordyce, or mailed to Salem Rotary Club, PO. Box 593, Salem, IN 47167.
MDWise to Host Affordable Care Act Information Session at the Salem Public Library
If you have questions about the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) and the options they may have for insurance beginning in 2014, then plan to attend one of three information sessions at the Salem Public Library over the next few weeks.
Licensed Indiana Navigators will be available to do on-site screenings to see if a potential applicant may qualify for Medicaid first, then will assess them for the Health Insurance Marketplace plans and help guide them through their available options. **Licensed Indiana Navigators have the responsibility of remaining neutral when advising people about their options; they will present all of the available options to the individual, then leave it to the person to make their own choice about which insurance carrier and plan they wish to choose, if any.
Representatives from MDWise will be there to assist with specific questions about their plans which are being offered in Washington County and surrounding counties where people may see specialists or other providers.
Sessions are:
Friday, December 6th, at 11a-1p and Wednesday, December 11th at 4p-7p
SHS Theatre students collaborate with WSLM to broadcast “It’s A Wonderful Life” December 15th
SHS Studio Theatre students re-tell the Christmas story, “It’s A Wonderful Life”, in vintage radio play style in front of a live studio audience on Sunday afternoon, December 15th, at 2:00 p.m. in the Presentation Room.
The iconic story of George Bailey, Clarence the angel, and Bedford Falls is being presented live and will be simulcast on local radio station WSLM 97.9 FM.
The script, adapted from the classic Frank Capra film, requires voice actors to portray multiple parts and create analog sound effects to underscore the action.
Theatre Arts teacher Bill Spencer-Pierce admits to being a “little” stuck in the 1930’s and 40’s.
“After last year’s group wrote and performed ‘The Night Before Halloween’, it seemed that a nice sequel would be ‘Wonderful Life’. When we approached Becky White at WSLM, she was on board right away. It’s fun to be doing a radio play and actually broadcasting it. This is one of my favorite Christmas movies and it’s going to be a blast!”
The production includes Greg Burris as George Bailey, Abby Corbin as ingénue Mary Hatch, and Kennan Hemmingway as antagonist Henry Potter, whose self-serving motives threaten the “good life” in Bedford Falls.
When events turn against Bailey, he begins to second-guess his own decisions and even the value of his own life, until guardian angel Clarence steps in to straighten him out. Clarence is played to a “T” by Roman Whitener.
Supporting voice talents include Ian Fetz, Willow Rumley, Keenan Bowles, Hannah Ingram, and Ashtynn Ready, who doubles as a radio singer for the event. Courtney Kelley serves as Stage Manager and mixes sound for the radio feed. They are joined by other class members in secondary voice and SFX roles.
See the live broadcast on Sunday afternoon, December 15 at 2:00 p.m. at SHS.
Admission at the door $5 adults, $3 students, Grade K and under free. Or, stay in your pajamas and pull up a cozy spot next to the radio and catch it on WSLM 97.9 FM.
