SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - When Mike Seis received an early Father's Day gift of a roll of sod from Notre Dame Stadium, he knew right away what he'd do with it.
The Wichita, Kansas, resident visited the grave of his mother, Frances Seis. He and his son and daughter laid some of the sod on her grave.
"My mother raised her children to love Notre Dame and I thought she would love having some of Notre Dame with her," said Seis, 49, who spent the summer of 1999 at Notre Dame as a visiting student in a master's degree program.

Notre Dame staff wait for buyers to come in to buy rolls of sod from the football stadium on May 21 in South Bend, Ind.
Work continues on replacing the grass field at Notre Dame's football stadium. Notre Dame announced last month it was switching to FieldTurf because of problems with the playing surface in recent seasons.
His mother died in 2013.
"She had gone to parochial schools in Kansas City in the 1930s and 1940s, and she always had a crush on Johnny Lujack," Seis told the South Bend Tribune (http://bit.ly/1ow1xKE ), referring to the famed Notre Dame and Chicago Bears quarterback and 1947 Heisman Trophy winner.
The last time his mom opened her eyes before she died, Seis said, he played the music from the "Notre Dame Victory March" for her on his cellphone.
Seis is among the Fighting Irish fans who recently purchased or received as gifts Notre Dame Stadium sod.
The university sold rolls of turf that were removed from the football field in May in preparation for installation of synthetic FieldTurf. The 5-by-2-foot rolls were sold online for $150 (including two-day shipping) or $100 during a final day "cash and carry" sale for local residents. Each purchaser also received a certificate of authenticity.
Notre Dame is not releasing details about how many rolls of sod were sold, university spokesman Dennis Brown said. Proceeds from the sale are going toward the cost of installing the artificial turf.
Some fans shared with The Tribune photos and stories about what they did with their sod.
Joe Bowen, the "Voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs," now has a roll of the ND Stadium sod planted in his backyard in Toronto. The sod was a gift from his four sons.
"We put rocks around it and spray-painted them blue and gold," said Bowen, 63, a well-known Canadian sportscaster.
He's called Maple Leafs hockey games since 1982, but he's also a big Fighting Irish fan. "My dad was a fan. You could say I'm a subway alumnus," Bowen said in a telephone interview.
Bowen started regularly going to Fighting Irish football games while a friend, Canadian Mike Wadsworth, was Notre Dame's athletic director in the late 1990s. (Wadsworth died in 2004.)
Now Bowen, his sons and other family members have a tradition of renting a motor home each year and coming to South Bend for a home football game.
Bowen wanted to buy the sod himself, but was dismayed to learn Notre Dame would only ship it to addresses in the continental United States. So his sons had it shipped to Bowen's former longtime broadcast partner, Harry Neale, who live in New York state.
Bowen drove to New York to play a round of golf with Neale, then drove the sod back home.
The turf is growing well in its new climate, Bowen said. "What a great early Father's Day gift from my lads."
Bowen said that, after he dies, he's always wanted his sons to be able to sprinkle his ashes on the turf at Notre Dame Stadium.
"Now they don't have far to drive," he said.
Jason Bryan, 35, of Mason, Michigan, a lifelong Fighting Irish fan, was thrilled to receive a surprise gift of the stadium sod from his father on Memorial Day.
"I've always followed the Irish. It started when I was a kid," said Bryan, a graduate of Hillsdale College and a special education resource teacher.
He lived in a South Bend for a short time in childhood while his dad, Dr. Dwight Bryan, completed a medical residency here. Jason Bryan and his wife attend at least one Notre Dame football game a year in South Bend.
Bryan planted his roll of sod along his driveway near his basketball hoop. "I moved some wood chips and installed it there. And nearby I put up a metal sign that says Notre Dame," he said by phone.
The sod arrived in fine green condition. He's been watering it carefully and it's doing well. "I'm planning to plant mums along one side," he said.
His 2-year-old son likes to water the sod. And the toddler is turning into a Fighting Irish fan, too. "He learned the words to the (Notre Dame) fight song two weeks ago," his dad said.
Jim Blase, a 1981 Notre Dame Law School graduate who lives in St. Louis, received a roll of stadium sod as an early Father's Day gift from his three children, who all earned Notre Dame bachelor's degrees.
Blase installed the sod in his backyard and shared a photo.
"In the foreground is a brick which was removed from the Notre Dame Stadium locker room during the 1990s expansion," he said via email. And a small golden figure of the Virgin Mary stands in the background, Blase's nod to the Golden Dome atop Notre Dame's Main Building.

on March 27, 2013 - 12:48 AM
, updated March 27, 2013 at 9:42 AM
Dyngus Day has been described as one of the most unique ethnic festivals. In Western New York, it's among the most famous Polish-American holidays.
Dozens of events will be held Monday, including a parade in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood. Meanwhile, numerous venues will sponsor advance activities Saturday and Sunday.
Eddy Dobosiewicz is co-founder of Dyngus Day Buffalo and president of Dyngus Day LLC. He sat down with The Buffalo News' Brian Meyer to preview activities and discuss the flap that occurred last year when Anderson Cooper made fun of Dyngus Day on his CNN show. Here is a summary of the interview, which is part of the weekly "In Focus" series.
Meyer: Talk about the history and heritage of this holiday that seems to ignite the imaginations of a lot of people.
Dobosiewicz: It's really kind of an obscure thing. It's not even celebrated in Poland in any major way. It became popular here in Buffalo because in 1961, the Chopin Singing Society used Dyngus Day as an excuse for a fundraising event. And it just turned into a legendary party. Number one, they knew how to throw a good party. Number two, there's these quirky little rituals that are associated with it. The chasing around of men and women in a flirtatious manner with pussy willow branches to signify the first bud of spring. The sprinkling of water to signify the rebirth of the growing season and Jesus' resurrection. It's a post-Lenten thing. It's kind of like a reverse Fat Tuesday. ... It happens the day after Lent as opposed to the day before Lent. We do this in other cities, too. Cleveland is growing, Pittsburgh is growing, Albany is growing.
Meyer: There are going to be over two dozen [local] venues. We're not just talking about the big bash at the Central Terminal.
Dobosiewicz: Here in Western New York, I believe there are 26 venues that are taking part this year. From Cheektowaga, Depew, Lancaster, Elma, into obviously the historic Polonia District, where we have lots of venues. And Black Rock has expanded now. I think there's five or six venues in Black Rock with a dedicated shuttle route. All these venues are connected by an extensive shuttle system. So you could literally park your car in Depew, come into the Polonia District, go to a bunch of venues, go to Black Rock [and] go to a bunch of venues, come back and then wind up back in Depew without having to find a million parking spots. In the event that someone is not capable of operating a motor vehicle safely, we even have prepaid cab vouchers that every venue will have ...
Meyer: One of the most anticipated events that many people were hoping would be happening would have been the crowning of Anderson Cooper as the first-ever Pussy Willow Prince. For background: Cooper had what he even described as sort of a teenage-girl giggling fit [on CNN] about Dyngus Day. He dissed Dyngus Day and put it on his "Ridiculist." You invited him here. It sounded pretty hopeful, and then a scheduling conflict occurred.
Dobosiewicz: Well, we had numerous conversations since last year. It was on his calendar up until ... about a month and a half ago, when a scheduling conflict occurred with his duties at "60 Minutes."
Meyer: A legitimate one, you think?
Dobosiewicz: Legitimate. We talked at least four times since then. ... When he announced that he wouldn't come, we set up a website called PARTYPOOPERCOOPER.COM that over 60,000 people went to. It resonated and hit a nerve with people all over the nation. On [a Bravo Television] show, he lamented the fact that he couldn't come here. But we've extended the invitation. ... It's an open invitation. If he wants to be the Pussy Willow Prince next year, we'll open our arms and embrace him wholeheartedly.

A Town of Tonawanda intersection key to students and shoppers will reopen this week, town officials were told Monday night.
The intersection of Brighton and Fries roads, which closed in mid-November, will open no later than Friday, according to Ken Maving, director of the town's Water Resources Department. The intersection is adjacent to Kenmore East High School and along a local retail corridor that leads to Niagara Falls Boulevard and its shopping centers.
"I was out on the job site today," Maving said during the Town Board meeting. "The contractor was wrapping up the work there."
Work has quickly progressed along Fries Road, a significant part of phase two of the Parker-Fries sewer construction project. Construction, by Concrete Applied Technologies Corp. of Alden, is months ahead of schedule, Maving said.
Backfilling at the intersection was done Monday and will be followed by paving today and Wednesday, Maving said. The traffic signal will be reinstalled Wednesday.
Traffic should be flowing through the intersection by Thursday – or Friday at the latest, Maving said.
Also on Monday, the Town Board approved seven resolutions related to the installation of surveillance equipment to protect the waterfront of the town and neighboring municipalities against the threat of terrorism. Most of the resolutions involved memorandums of understanding with local industries on whose property the equipment will be located.
The town was awarded approximately $1.7 million from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act's Port Security Grant Program. Infrastructure in the town is considered part of the Port of Buffalo, which is among ports nationwide that have been classified as a Group II risk on a scale of three.
At the request of state officials, the town took the lead in applying for the grant, said Police Chief Anthony J. Palombo, who said he hopes the system will be up and running by next spring.
"The advantage to us, we have the capabilities to monitor all of the security right from our station," he said.
The City of Tonawanda and Town of Grand Island also will benefit from the installation of waterside and streetside surveillance cameras in the town's industrial area along the Niagara River.

TAHOE VISTA, Calif. — No one was hurt after a fire engulfed a home Friday afternoon on Lake Tahoe's North Shore.

Personnel with North Tahoe Fire and Calfire put out the fully involved blaze within five minutes, Zaski said. No one was hurt, and surrounding wildland and structures were never threatened.
The home sustained major damage, Zaski said. The fire's cause is under investigation.

On Tuesday, the singer had a day off in between stops on her Bangerz Tour, and she enjoyed the downtime by meeting up with N.Y.C.-based tattoo artist Bang Bang McCurdy.
Cyrus, 21, got two new tattoos, including the words "Love Yer Brain" on her right forearm. "It's from her favorite band, The Flaming Lips," McCurdy told E!.
The second ink job is a small crescent moon on her left arm.
But Cyrus wasn't the only person who got inked. The "Wrecking Ball" singer returned the favor by tattooing the same crescent shape onto McCurdy's thumb. She later Instagrammed a snapshot of herself and the tattoo artist posing with their tongues out, which she captioned, "BFF tats with @bangbangnyc."
Cyrus's other tattoos (around 20 in total) include a portrait of her grandmother, a dreamcatcher, the words "just breathe," quotes from Teddy Roosevelt and a sad cat emoji on her inner lip.
Cyrus isn't the only celeb sporting artwork courtesy of McCurdy. Other high-profile clients include Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.

Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
I went with very unsatisifed and tonight's game is a mircocomism of the vote.
- How do you not make it clear to Gregg/Soto, that in no uncertain terms do not throw a fastball to Francouer, who will almost swing at anything off-speed. Even if you walk him I will take my chances with Blanco. Instead you throw a belt-high fastball on 3-1 to a free swinger who has the most power of anyone in the Braves lineup.
- Why waste a postion player to PH for Soto if you are going to have them SAC bunt? If he would have used Demp or Lilly instead of Scales, they likely put it down as that is there job on offense.
-why dont you just walk Chipper when the count went to 3-2 agnaist a pitcher he has had success with?
Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
- It was 2-1 on Francouer, and Soto called a fastball on the inside corner and it missed by about 10 inches. You can't just go an entire at-bat without throwing a fastball because the hitter likes them - almost everyone does - but you can't miss by a foot out over the plate at this level and not get hammered. So I am not upset with Soto or Lou on this one, Gregg simply has to hit his spot or miss off the plate in.
- Agreed, send Dempster up.
- Brenly pointed out that with a young guy like Guzman they would have put Jones on, but with a veteran like Heilmann they let him pitch with the idea that you pitch around and don't give him anything to hit. Obviously they confused Heilmann with a major league pitcher. But it should be pointed out that McCann on deck is 3-6 off of Heilmann for his career with a HR and two doubles, so in that case do you pick Jones with 2-strikes or a new count with McCann?
Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
I kid you not, but the Atlanta broadcast it seemed to show Larry Rothschild calling that pitch. There was certainly some gesturing and Soto looking over. Soto was set-up outside though and Gregg obviously missed over the plate.
Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
I've watched almost all the games this year on Gameday (instead of on TV), so I actually voted "uncertain" on Piniella, though after sleeping on it I'd probably vote "somewhat unsatisfied".
Besides some of the weird strategic moves Lou has made, something I REALLY didn't like was what he was talking about in the FOX game this weekend. During the in-game interview with Buck and McCarver, Piniella was talking about "treading water" until the team gets healthy. I fucking hate that kind of talk from a leader. It reminds me of Dusty Baker, for one ("gimme my horses and I'll win!"). But more importantly, it's telling the team that:
A: It's acceptable to just tread water.
B: He only expects them to tread water.
(I realize A and B are the same thing.)
I wish Lou would have said "We have good players, and we will win with whoever I put on the fucking field."
Because if Lou said that and believed it, maybe they'd play like winners instead of that crap that happened last night.
Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
I agree with this. When teams are decimated by injury that is the time to play with some urgency. When you tell a bunch of back-ups to tread water and play .500-ball, they typically play less than .500 ball.
I can only think that Lou's rationale is that the team out there now is inexperienced so he wants there to be less pressure on them. Think about the roster now - Scales, Blanco, Hoffpauir, Fox, Wells, Waddell, Ascanio, Patton all basically rookies. Hill, Fontenot, Soto, Fukudome, Marshall, Marmol, Guzman, all have very little ML experience. When 3/5ths of your roster is like that maybe you handle things a bit differently. I don't know.
Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
"I fucking hate that kind of talk from a leader. It reminds me of Dusty Baker, for one..."
I heard "Holly" on his usual bit with the ESPN Chicago 1000 guys yesterday afternoon. HE said basically the same thing. The players, RIGHT NOW, have to take it upon themselves - without worrying about trades, who is injured, when X player is getting back - etc.! It is plainly obvious that with only a few exceptions, this philosophy is not heeded.
Re SOTO - Holly said in his experience (remember at one time he was highly-touted in the Dodgers system), Lou has a tricky situation on his hands as the player, potentially, could have some "head" issues if he is not "handled properly". These can last into a young player's career. So, what do you do with last year's ROY? Bench him? AAA him? Let him play out of it? Put him on a fucking diet? I should talk, personally. I have been trying to lose 5 lbs for like a year and a half.
Re: at one time he was highly-touted in the Dodgers system
Hollandsworth wasn't just highly touted, he was NL Rookie of the Year just like Geo! That's where he was coming from.
Re: 50-Game Mark TCR Reader Survey: Question 2
I went with Somewhat Unsatisfied because although I think most of Lou's in game work is good, he still has faults that have affected the outcome of some games. Questionable pinch hit choices, leaning on too few pitchers too much of the time and the lengthy auditions for the replacement 3B all bother me. I did like how he seemed to be using the running game a little more the last part of the homestand, that's how this team is going to have to score for the foreseeable future.
Personally, I think managerial meltdowns on the field and at the press table are sorely overrated, but I do remember Lou calling the team to task about June, 2007. That was when they were about 9 under, DeRosa was kicking the ball around, Soriano was swinging at the pitch outs and Barrett was ending rallies at 3B. He went before the press and said he needed players who could "run the bases and catch the damn ball", and if his guys couldn't do that, he'd get someone who could. Now a statement like THAT I'd like to hear.
I think Soto will just have to catch 2 out of every 3 games and try to work out of his funk. Whether he takes the route of Rick Wilkens or Pudge Rodriguez, he probably deserves to prove himself. Good or bad. I can't see making the post season with Koyie Hill getting 400 abs as your catcher.

On the Hill, brought to you by the Tahoe Center for Orthopedics, brings you a video report showcasing Tahoe's ski conditions every day.
Breakdown: Join Tahoe 'On the Hill' reporter Brian Hamilton for a run down Olympic Downhill at Heavenly. ROCK HARD groomers are the current surface condition. If you are planning on coming out today, bring your world-cup-tuned sharp edges. Also, check the snow phone at 1-800-HEAVENLY because winds are affecting lift operations. Mott Canyon is planned to open for the first time this season around 10 a.m. today.
Heavenly official report: 0" in past 24 hours.
Field report: 0" in the last 24 hours, 37" from the last storm.
Weather: Partly cloudy and currently 38 degrees. 46 is the predicted high today. Moderate to high winds are affecting lift operations.
Liftline status: No crowds and no lines.
Snowcast: Next week there is a chance for a very cold powerful storm to move in. I'll update as we get closer. This cold storm could drop very fluffy snow, which would be perfect over this base building storm we just had.

Even as a veteran teacher, I felt that I benefited from the content of this class.
I found the course material very helpful and timely. It reinforced many of my practices and challenged me to change others or to refine my approach to certain situations.
I have attended many workshops and seminars on behavior management, but I consider your course to be one of the "BEST!". Your lessons were well organized and full of ideas that I took straight to my classroom. Thank you!!
I loved this class. I think everyone needs to take this class, especially parents. I think they need to make this class mandatory to new parents and teachers. I have learned so much from this class and will need to refer to my notes often until I can use this information as easy as I can write my name. Thanks for offering this class and with this instructor.
I think this was one of the best courses I have ever taken. I am going to suggest to our principal that this course be recommended for all of the staff in our school. The 5-step method is an excellent approach to discipline. Thank you Dr. Thompson!
This course really made me think about things I could change in my classroom management. I really enjoyed the teacher-student situations.
This was a wonderful course. I learned a lot from it, and I also implemented some of the models and strategies in my classroom. They really work!
What a wonderful instructor. I am a single mother with four children and I found this class to be very helpful to me, not only in my classroom, but in my own home as well.
Wonderful course, it sure turned this old Air Force Staff Sergeant around. I can't believe the knowledge and wisdom I received from this course. It has made a positive change in my classroom. Now, I feel like my second career choice to be a teacher was the right one. With more practice, I know it can only get better.
I just truly want to say thank you. This course has been life changing for me as a teacher, a wife, and a parent. Thank you.

New Magazine Unveiled at NAMI Convention
bp Offers "Hope & Harmony" for Those With Bipolar Disorder
Reaching out to 2.5 million adults and the parents of an estimated one million children in the United States with bipolar disorder, a new magazine, bp, was launched September 8th at NAMI's 25th Annual Convention.
The Fall 2004 issue offers a cover story on TV talk show-host, author and 1970s movie icon Carrie Fisher and her 20-year battle with bipolar disorder. In addition to the latest news on research and treatment, the issue includes feature stories on dealing with bipolar in the workplace; the power of reconnecting with loved ones; enhancing recovery through disclosure; healthy eating and more.
"On the heels of the success of our flagship publication Schizophrenia Digest, we're excited to launch this second title designed to de-stigmatize bipolar and bring hope and inspiration to people living with the disorder," said publisher Joanne Garvey. "bp will create a sense of community among its readers, helping those who live with bipolar realize that they are not alone, that others understand their journey, and that proper diagnosis, treatment and support are the keys to achieving wellness."
Supported by Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc. and Pfizer Inc., bp will be published in a fresh, glossy format four times annually. It will be distributed by medical professionals and consumer mental health organizations nationwide with an initial reader base of 50,000. One and two-year subscriptions are available through the magazine's Web site at www.bphope.com.

Think of "The Art" as a freeze-dried Appalachian Trail: all the big savory morsels of the nation's premier long trail concentrated into a bite-size package. In its 30-mile (48-kilometer) course through Pisgah National Forest southwest of Asheville, the East's finest weekend trail loads up on 6,000-foot (1,829-meter) peaks and garnishes with sharp-shinned knobs, hardwood coves, monster climbs, and one of the best tree-free ridge walks in the region. "It's my favorite trail for its diversity and glorious views," says Jack Igelman, co-author of Trekking the Southern Appalachians. Christened after a local trail advocate, the Art Loeb reflects its namesake's passion for high, wild ridges. Beginning in lowland forest at Davidson River Campground, the trail quickly stair-steps to its high point, 6,214-foot (1,894-meter) Black Balsam Knob, and ends in Shining Rock Wilderness. The seven-mile (11-kilometer) section from Black Balsam to Deep Gap, just shy of Cold Mountain (yup, that Cold Mountain), crosses spacious balds that could double for the Scottish Highlands in Braveheart. There's a conspicuous absence of trees, and views unfold in every direction. Strong hikers can do the Art Loeb in two strenuous days, but three are preferable.

SYCAMORE - Sycamore Village Administrator Charles Clark plans to provide input during a meeting today with FEMA and state officials regarding a storm that struck the village in June.
Clark told council at the Tuesday night meeting a transformer pole and hardware was damaged. Repair is estimated in excess of $3,000 and he hopes some costs, including labor and vehicle usage, may be able to be reimbursed. He is to apply for reimbursement on behalf of the village. Wyandot County is one of 37 counties that have been approved for assistance from the federal government for the storm.
Clark's report also said repairs to Third Street are to be finished soon. He added flushing of water lines is occurring and residents should be aware that discoloration of their water may occur. Although it is safe to consume, it may discolor clothes being washed.
Council approved a resolution allowing a credit of $1,303.74 toward water service and sewer charges as well as a charge for electrical distribution for the American Legion ballfield. Council expressed support of the ballfield as a community service in that it is utilized by children of residents in their athletic endeavors.
Village employees Don Heilman and Dan Hooten were recognized by Mayor Matthew Boucher for their assistance in providing traffic control following a fatal train and vehicle accident June 24.
Fire Chief Bryan Clouse reported Sycamore's fire and EMS personnel engaged in water rescue training in a joint effort with McCutchenville emergency personnel at Lake Mohawk.
Trick or treat night has been set for Oct. 25 and parade Oct. 27.
The Income Tax Committee is to meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Council is to meet at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 9 at village office.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - Did you catch the Arts For the Schools OnSTAGE performance of Joe Craven on February 1st? It was a sold out house that night, and many in our community enjoyed a rousing time with Joe. He is a creativity educator, former museum curator, visual artist, actor/storyteller, festival emcee and recipient of the 2009 Folk Alliance Far-West Performer of the Year.
Joe is a musical madman who came to our area and spent time with kids in area schools introducing them to the world of music. Then the rest of the community had the treat of being able to see Joe perform on Friday night at the Church Street Theater.
That night, the main hallway was full of adults and kids as show time drew near. I could feel the excitement of the kids who saw Joe perform in their schools earlier in the week. I could see the anticipation on the faces of those who knew the magical musical performance to come when Joe hit the stage. Seats were found, the lights went down and the stage was lit. When I heard the first note, I thought, "wow, how absolutely wonderful to have a performance like this in our town."
Over the years I've seen outstanding dance, music and performing arts here in the Truckee-North Tahoe areas that were presented by Arts for the Schools OnSTAGE performances. Here are a few:
• Vagabond Opera: an imaginative ensemble of unique talents performed a global repertoire in many languages. We traveled the world from our seats.
• Galumpha: a group of three who combined acrobatics, striking visual effects, physical comedy and inventive choreography into a performance that made me blink and think, "how can they do that?" At times funny and at other times striking poses, that took my breath away.
• Cedric Watson: a four-time Grammy-nominated fiddler, singer, accordionist and songwriter who lit the stage on fire, got toes tapping and had the audience dancing in the aisles. Whether singing in English or French or Creole, the stories told by his songs were both uplifting and soulful.
• Mark Twain: Would you believe I spent an evening with Mark Twain and shook his hand not long ago? Well, he was actually the Ghost of Mark Twain, McAvoy Layne, but meeting him was not so much watching a performance as it was being in the presence of Twain's unique greatness.
• Project Bandaloop: The first time I saw Project Bandaloop was in Reno. I couldn't imagine dancers performing on the side of a building. Talk about turning your world on its side! I never forgot the excitement - the images stayed in my mind of dancers suspended, running, swaying and dancing on a vertical stage. Thanks to AFtS, I had the privilege of seeing them perform again two years ago, dancing on the side of the Resort at Squaw Creek building. It was a spectacular, breath-taking, beautiful, stunning, dramatic, fantastic performance that I will not forget.
The list goes on: Na Lei Hulu, Hawaiian dancers; Fishtank Ensemble, world music with a twist; Diamano Coura, West African folklore and dance; Alpin Hong, pianist; Lula Washington Dance Theater; Dala, angels of folk music; H'Sa, singer/songwriters; and many more. Thanks to OnSTAGE performances presented by AFtS, I have seen and heard and experienced outstanding art that I didn't have to travel far to take in.
Through OnSTAGE, AFtS strives to provide our community the most exceptional arts experiences (not often offered in rural regions such as ours) at the most affordable prices. Performers are selected for their ability to appeal to a broad audience. So, treat yourself to a treat - come to one of our OnSTAGE performances - or better yet, buy a season pass. Not only will you be supporting arts education for our students, but you will be blown away by your experience.
The next two public performances are Saturday, March 16, at 3 p.m. - "The Tortoise Versus the Hare," presented by the Missoula Children's Theatre, featuring local students; and Friday, April 19, at 7 p.m. - "Figures of Speech Theater," the ancient craft of puppetry. I hope to see you there.

This exhibit will feature work from three graduating seniors from Shepherd University. The exhibition will showcase photographs and paintings that all connect through the concept of unity. The exhibition will be open to the public for one night only from 5 to 8 p.m. April 18.
The exhibit will feature work from Elinor Pretsch, Michael Keplinger, and Brittany Grimes. All the pieces focus around the idea of Unity and the aspects of life that unify all people. In the series "Connected," photographer Elinor Pretsch explores the likeness between foreign cultures (in this exhibition the Ghanian culture) and the typical American way of life. Michael Keplinger is a photographer whose work revolves around the idea of a universe unified by quantum mechanical properties. Brittany Grimes is a painter whose current work glorifies ordinary people in public spaces.
The exhibition will provide a sense of unity through the subject matter as well as the varying mediums. This exhibition is part of the 2013 Capstone Exhibition Series in collaboration with the Department of Contemporary Art and Theater at Shepherd University.

Jukebox musicals don't get more well-oiled than "Jersey Boys," the 2005 hit fueled by the music of the Four Seasons and directed with a molecular attention to detail by Des McAnuff. Since its debut on Broadway, the show has entranced millions of people with its sampling of the teenage nostalgia the music of Frankie Valli and his fellow singers evokes.
Wherever "Jersey Boys" goes, record crowds seem to follow. And now, after a three-year absence and much to the delight of local audiences who already have bought tickets in droves, the show is returning to Shea's Performing Arts Center for a 10-day run on Wednesday. Its previous visit, in April 2010, occasioned one of the more rapturous audience reactions I had seen up to that point.
The show, with a slicker-than-slick book by Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman, tells the tale of the Four Seasons' rise and fall, its mix-ups with the mob and its embodiment of a peculiarly American lust for fame. "Jersey Boys" opens at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through May 18 in Shea's Performing Arts Center (646 Main St.). Tickets are $34.50-$127.50. Call 847-0850 or visit sheas.org.
