Spring Classes: J. Everett Light Career Center

Classes start this week at the J. Everett Light Career Center. It looks like the usual crop of fitness, art and language classes, such as painting, knitting, aquatics and Spanish. (Or, you can always learn to weld.) If you live in the Washington Township area, the class locations are convenient.

Weekend Roundup

First, some good news: I've just finished a massive, all-consuming work project. You can now expect more frequent postings and a return to my busy class-reviewing schedule! Here are a few tidbits to get us started:

• If you prefer paper catalogs to online versions, the IUPUI Community Learning Network's fall calendar is in today's Star.
• This month, Clark Appliances continues its series of cooking classes with topics such as Mexican cooking (vegetarian style), convection cooking, barbecuing ribs and making pizzas.
• The J. Everett Light Career Center has released its fall calendar. It leans heavily toward GED and ESL programs, but there are a few fun classes tucked in there: drawing, painting, working with precious metal clay, languages, fitness and photography.
• Want to learn more about rum? Vine & Table has a "Minister of Rum" class Aug. 13.
• If you're planning to go star-gazing soon, note that the J.I. Holcomb Observatory and Planetarium at Butler is closed until mid-September for maintenance and repairs.
