Calgary Window Replacement – Year Round
Windows in Calgary can be replaced year-round. Window orders average 8 weeks and installations are usually 2 days or up to 5 days to complete an entire house. When a window is removed, the opening is filled with the new window within about 10-15 minutes and much of the time is spent on sealing and finishing details.
Leading Calgary Windows company Boulevard Exteriors is highly experienced in window installations, new window installation (where one does not currently exist) as well as new and existing Bay Window and Bow Window installs. Boulevard adheres to City By-Laws and will assist you in obtaining necessary permits.
Window Replacement Testimonials
Boulevard was fantastic from start to finish. Vanessa arrived on time and had great suggestions - she is very knowledgeable and great to work with (I had several emails back and forth with her after), and her quote was given to me while she was still here. The price for the job was the same as the quote, plus an upgrade we decided on later. Her suggestion of a triple pane on our north window is paying off, as there is no condensation on the window now, as well as it looks beautiful with thefir trim she suggested! The quote also came in slightly lower than a competitor. Mike was great to work with as well - he was nice, respectful and knowledgeable as well. The installers did a fantastic job and left nothing to be cleaned up. Holly followed up and we have a tiny scratch on one of the windows that Jeld-Wen is happy to fix. We will definitely have them here again to replace more windows in the future.–Jess, SW Chapparal
Boulevard Exteriors over the past 8 years has upgraded all the windows and siding in our home. While listening to our needs and their expert advice, they were been able to provide us with products to compliment our Arts and Crafts style home. The quality, service and competitive pricing was critical in our decision to use this company. We highly recommend using Boulevard Exteriors for all of your homes exterior needs.–Harvey Aronovich, SW Calgary
Through the stages of our renovation, we have replaced our windows on two occasions with Boulevard. We were very pleased with the sales process while meeting and communicating Vanessa, we chose metal exterior windows and she took the time to explain the benefits of the different types of glass to make my home more energy efficient. I really appreciate that even on evenings and weekends she would respond to any questions or changes I had. When it came time for the install Mike and his teamwere punctual and friendly, they took very good care of cutting out my old windows from the stucco and the end result looks fabulous. We have had numerous compliments from neighbors, friends and family. We still have two floors of windows and doors to replace and it's nice to know I can count on the Boulevard Team. We would highly recommend Boulevard to anyone who wants a professional job done from start to finish.–Diana, Sundance

Jack Bondurant (Born on April 8, 1910) died November 6, 2000 at the age of 90.
Forrest Bondurant (Born on November 21, 1901) died December 4, 1965 from pneumonia.
Howard Bondurant (Born on January 3, 1898) died November 2, 1968, peacefully at age 70.
Their remains were buried at Roselawn Burial Park in Virginia.
The life of the "Bondurant Brothers" was depicted in the movie Lawless, written by Jack Bondurant's grandson, Matt Bondurant, a novelist and creative writing teacher at the University of Dallas.
Matt never got a chance to ask his grandfather about his life, so he decided to write it as fiction. He relied mostly on newspaper articles and court transcripts which provide a scattered picture.
The film was set in 1931 during Prohibition when moonshine was shipped out of the county to large cities; the Bondurant brothers stand up to a violent special agent from Chicago who demands a large take of their moonshine profits. Read more about the film at The Franklin News-Post.
In the film, Forrest routinely cheats death and the idea that the Bondurants are immortal was presented, though at the end of the film, he died of pneumonia.
Jack, the youngest of the three died on Monday, November 6, 2000 in Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County. Howard on the other hand silently joined Forrest in peace in 1968 at the age of 70.

Auspicious by shwippieWatch

Daily DeviationGiven 2013-08-05
Auspicious by ~shwippie is a very delicate, sweet and very charming comic made traditionally with gouache. The little story behind it makes this comic more whimsical and very cute at the same time. And I have to agree with the rest of the commenters of this piece. The contrast between the colors are so natural and everything just blend so well. ( Suggested by commandobunny and Featured by jcroxas )

Snakes Take Two Bites of the Apple at Fitch Park
17-year old Panamanian LHP Anfernee Benitez tossed four innings of no run/no hit ball with eight strikeouts, 16-year old Dominican SS Sergio Alcantara singled twice, tripled, and scored two runs, and Tyler Linton cracked a two-run double to cap a four run 8th inning rally, as the Diamondbacks outlasted the Cubs 8-6 on Field #4, and Wagner Mateo belted an RBI double to put the D'backs on the board in the top of the 1st, and Andrew Velasquez laced an RBI triple to plate the Diamondbacks final run in the top of the 4th, as the D'backs withstood a Cub rally in the bottom of the 9th (Cubs scored twice and left the bases loaded) and defeated the Cubs 5-3 on Field #2, sweeping a Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader played this morning at Fitch Park in Mesa, AZ.
Jose Rosario got the start for the Cubs on Field #4 and had a rough 1st inning, surrendering four runs on four hits (three singles and a double) and a walk. But then he found his rhythm and retired 12 of the last 13 men he faced (five on strikes) before reaching his pre-planned pitch limit (67).
Rony Rodriguez whacked a two-run HR in the bottom of the 5th and Justin Marra followed an inning later with a two-run double to help the Cubs tie the game on Field #4, and then the Cubs took a 6-4 lead in the bottom of the 7th, before the D'backs erupted for four runs off reliever Chad Martin (capped by the Tyler Linton two-run two-bagger) in the top of the 8th. Martin had a really poor outing, allowing four runs on six hits (three singles, two doubles, and a triple) in just two innngs of work
Albert Almora was in the lineup on Field #4 and played CF for six innings, getting four AB and going 1-4. He struck out (swinging) twice against Anfernee Benitez, then he broke up the no-hitter by rifling a single off RHRP Bobby Hillier and past the D'backs third-baseman leading off the bottom of the 5th (before scoring on the Rony Rodriguez HR), and popped up to the second-baseman in short RF in his final PA (also versus Hillier).
Prior to the doubleheader, RHP Chang-Yong Lim (July 2012 TJS rehab) threw a 25-pitch "live" BP inning on Field #1, facing Jose Morales (strained hamstring rehab), Lance Rymel, and Justin Marra. The 36-year old side-armin' Korean and one-time closer for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows (NPB) was signed by the Cubs post-2012, and has been rehabbing at Fitch Park for the past couple of months. Barring a medical setback, I would think he will probably see some EXST game action soon. (Fellow South Korean Dong-Yub Kim bowed to Lim in "we are not worthy" style as he passed behind the batting cage on Field #1 on his way to Field #4).
In EXST Cubs roster news, INF Bryant Flete has been moved down to the VSL Cubs. Flete had an interesting weekend, playing in the EXST game at Talking Stick last Friday, flying to Venezuela on Saturday, and then playing in the VSL Cubs inaugural yesterday morning (Flete hit lead-off and played SS for the VSL Cubs).
Here are the abridged box scores from today's games (Cubs players only):
1. Rashad Crawford, RF: 1-4 (1-3, 1B, F-7, HBP, K)

1. Erick Castillo: 1-2 CS
2. Alberto Mineo: 0-1 CS
X. Albert Almora, CF: 1-4 (K, K, 1B, P-4)
NOTE: Almora batted four times, leading off the bottom of the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th innings
1. Frandy de la Rosa, 2B: 1-4 (K, K, 4-3, 1B, RBI)
2. Jesse Hodges, 3B: 1-3 (K, F-7, 1B, HBP, R)

3. Chad Martin: 2.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R (4 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 34 pitches (26 strikes), 2/3 GO/FO
Rony Rodriguez: 0-1 CS
WEATHER: Sunny with temperatures 100+
NOTE: It wasn't a Cactus League Extended Spring Training game, but the Cubs did play a seven-inning intrasquad game yesterday (Monday) at Fitch Park.
LHP Kyler Burke (strained oblique rehab) got the start for Squad "A" and went 5.1 IP (79 pitches), allowing one run (it was unearned) on three hits (two singles and a triple) and a walk. He struck out four, with a 7/1 GO/FO. Burke should be ready to move up to (presumably) either Daytona or Tennessee.
Jacob Rogers and Yasiel Balaguert were the offensive stars of the game. Rogers belted two doubles (including a two-run double high off the CF "Batter's Eye") and a two-run HR and drove-in four runs for Squad "A," and Balaguert collected a single, a double, and a triple, drove-in two runs, and scored one for Squad "B."
Albert Almora played CF for five innings for Squad "A" and batted four times, going 1-4. He grounded out 4-3 in his first AB, chopped a single over the third-baseman's head his second time up, grounded out 6-3 in his third PA, and flied out F-9 in his final AB.
Rashad Crawford batted once in each of the first three innings for Squad "B," to practice hitting LH against a LHP (Kyler Burke). Formerly a switch-hitter, Crawford is trying to learn to hit LH (only) to take better advantage of his blazing speed. He isn't a very good hitter to begin with (he's hitting 094/216/186 with 13 K in 37 PA in 14 Cactus League Extended Spring Training games), so it's not like he's giving up much by hitting LH versus LHPs.
The game was halted by the coaches briefly in the top of the 6th so that Frandy de la Rosa could run around the bases three times, after he neglected to run out an infield pop up.
Here is the box score from yesterday's intrasquad game:
X. Rashad Crawford, CF: 0-3 (F-7, 4-3, K)
NOTE: Crawford batted three times, leading off the top of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd innings
1. Carlos Penalver, SS-DH: 0-3 (6-3, 5-3, L-7)
2. Yasiel Balaguert, LF-DH: 3-3 (3B, 1B, 2B, R, 2 RBI)
3. Reggie Golden, DH-LF: 0-3 (E-6, 4-3, K)
4. Trevor Gretzky, 1B: 1-2 (1B, 1-3, BB, SB, CS)
5. Garrett Schlecht, RF: 0-2 (3-U, K, BB)
6. Lance Rymel, C: 0-3 (5-3, F-7, K)
7. Mark Malave, 3B: 0-1 (BB, F-9, BB, CS)
8. Frandy de la Rosa, 2B: 0-3 (K, P-5, K)
9. Brad Zapenas, DH-SS: 0-1 (K, HBP, R)

10b. Roberto Caro, CF: 0-0 (BB, R)
X. Albert Almora, CF: 1-4 (4-3, 1B, 6-3, F-8)

scott baker is jelly.
Is there any news on Scott
Is there any news on Scott Baker's progress? I know hindsight is 20/20 but I never understood the Scott Baker signing. Why pay 5.5 million to a pitcher on a 1 year deal who at best won't return to form until after the trade deadline? It doesn't make sense for a rebuiling team without a club option for next year. I don't think this year's contract leads to any better deal next year. Do you really think his agent is going to let him take $5.5 million less from the Cubs than another team next year because they were nice.... How does this payoff?
up until he had a couple of
up until he had a couple of bumps in the road he was expected to be ready by april/may.
he was ahead of schedule at one point where they were talking about him being ready for opening day, but probably not ready to throw 100+ pitches until a few weeks into the season.
As I recall, this deal
As I recall, this deal greases the wheels for perhaps a favorable one again next year. If the guy doesn't retire, that is.
So I went to see the Kane
So I went to see the Kane County Cougars host, ironically, the Peoria Chiefs. Haven't been there since 1999 to see the Lansing Lugnuts with Choi, Zambrano, and Patterson. Corey looked like the second coming of Lou Brock that night, sigh. Last few years, I've been going to Beloit when the Chiefs were in town against the Snappers , and enjoyed the old-school ambience. KC is more of a Chuck E Cheese vibe, constant kid buzz even on a slow night. But the best draft beer selection I've ever seen in a ballpark and good Bobak's sausage. Randall Road less scenic than Kishwaukee Valley Road, though. (I live far Northwest.)
Cougars scored early, but looked bad late against a couple of Chief relievers who turn out to have some pretty impressive numbers. Damn Cardinals. Shaky defense didn't help stop Chiefs from putting it away later. Observations:
Bijan Rademacher is ready for Daytona, and it would be no surprise if he gets moved up when Almora arrives at KC. Good defense and speed, hits the ball hard, good eye. No home run power yet, so I guess he profiles as a backup.
Wilson Contreras was a pleasant surprise. He's a lean, athletic catcher, made a nice pickup and throw on a swinging bunt and hit a home run to center.
Jeimer Candelario has little range at third base.
Rock Shoulders is a big fellow, but appears to have the athleticism to play left field. Smoked a double to left-center.
Dan Vogelbach's body language told me he was unhappy with his approach--swinging at pitches he should have taken and taking ones he should have hit. Still reached the warning track against an early crosswind even though he didn't get it all. Quick bat. Trying hard defensively at first--you could see him concentrating on timing his flips to the pitcher covering--but a work in progress.

"In 26 games with High-A
"In 26 games with High-A Daytona this season, Soler is hitting .281/.369/.542 with five homers, 14 RBI, 19 runs and three steals in four attempts. His 13 walks in 111 plate appearances is an encouraging sign, as he totaled just 12 free passes in 149 PAs at two lower levels last season."
While I think it is premature, what do we think would trigger a move up to West Tenn?

either can/do play CF as well as RF, too...and it seems both are being groomed for super-utility-OF roles while getting the play time and ABs to keep their outside chance of starting roles alive.
Thanks guys, and Crunch it
Thanks guys, and Crunch it seems to me that the only thing that "blocks" Soler is doing what is best for Soler. Any other player that gets in the way of that will find another roll in the organization.

There is an abundance of rolls now that hendry is gone.
Dough? Yeah, you kneed good
Dough? Yeah, you kneed good dough to make rolls.
soler is a lot more important
soler is a lot more important than szcuzur and ha...no doubt.
one of them has to move to AAA to play RF/CF to open up a slot for soler in AA, though.
right now b.jackson, d.sappelt, and b.bogusevic are hogging the OF slots in AAA.
if r.sweeney doesn't start hitting that could be figured out rather soon with sappelt coming back up, b.jackson getting called back up, or bogs (who's been playing all 3 OF slots) being added to the 40-man and opening up a place for szcuzr/ha to move up and open up RF for soler in AA (both szcuzr and ha are better used in CF).
soler is hands down the most important player out of everyone mentioned...especially given his contract/pay. i doubt he'll be blocked if/when he starts mastering A ball to the point it's a joke...something will be forced to happen.

wow, billy joel isn't just playing wrigley in-season...it's like 8-10 ballparks or something.
maybe this will once-and-for-all end this stupid practice once the condition of many playing fields after these concerts are questioned...or maybe they'll learn how to fix fields quicker than they have in the past...or maybe no one will care because revenue is king.
Theo was trying to clear the mess that Hendr left
Rick Renteria was a great idea! Seriously! I feel bad for the guy, although it happened the way it had to.
Hey, whatta bout me?

Yeah, she's a good egg. The whole superdelegate thing is shady as fuck though.
the perks of being a

honestly, though...the dnc could do worse and she's involved in all kinds of dem party stuff.
I didn't realize Laura Ricketts is a superdelegate.
pretty much...also agree that it wouldn't surprise me to see him land with the cubs, too.
the trade to free up room for him would be interesting.
it would help if he didn't play such a mixed-bag CF. he's anything but sure out there with his wacky routes.
the O's are favored because of links for weeks and they're about to land y.gallardo (giving up that draft pick).
holy crap...j.mejia got busted AGAIN for PEDs.
3rd time...lifetime ban.
at one point he was the "closer of the future" (and the actual closer) for the mets. 26 years old. unreal.
I agree with what you said, but isn't it so weird that the White Sox are not linked to Fowler? They seem like an ideal fit.
oddly...or not...fowler's been strongly linked to the O's lately.
Olmos takes another 40 man roster Roulette bullet. The new lefty will be gone when Fowler comes back.
seen him in the minors...rather boring lefty. really slow secondary stuff (very slow slider) and a fastball that barely hits 90 on a good day.

Article Summary
Many of the exhibitors we encountered at the Paris Green Air Show were showing off aircraft that ran on electricity, alternative fuels, or that reduced the consumption of fossil fuels. One booth, however, was displaying a different sort of green aviation product – a low-impact, natural cork composite called AEROCORK, intended to replace PVC foam and other petroleum-based building materials in aircraft. It is the result of a collaboration between three Portuguese tech companies.

Mummy Bootcamp
'After having my baby, I was very keen to get back to fitness in an 'at your own pace' environment with other mums and babies, so I set up Mummy Bootcamp. Our mums are of all different fitness levels and the fact that you can take it at your own pace, is a great way to ease back into exercise after having your baby. All the important and relavant body parts are targeted in a motivating way, andwe focus on the pelvic floor, back and other post natal issues common to a lot of new mums... and the chit chat and coffee afterwards is definately a great treat for all the mums!'
Lorraine Ho, Bootcamp Ireland Founder
This unique class is a great outlet for new mums as you can bring your baby 'n buggy along, which is a great attraction. It gives Mums the chance to get in shape and pull back into that body that you had before it was all about baby. Mum's get to meet up with other mums, swap stories, trade tips; it will get you outdoors, without the need for a babysitter so you can get fit and active, feel energetic and positive and most of all, help you lose the weight and tone up.
We selected our most loved and experienced Bootcamp Instructors to instill confidence in the most anxious and unfit new mums. With an absolute understanding of women's post-baby bodies, exercises are suitably challenging and tailored to the needs of the group. The instructors take great care to ensure Mums feel comfortable and give you the freedom to take breaks as and when you need them. Classes take place every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 10.30am in the beautiful St Enda's Park, and in Phoenix park on a Mon and Weds at 10.30am. But it's no glorified coffee morning: classes take place come rain or shine but we have been known to have a cuppa tea afterwards (we might leave out the cakes though :))
We want to make sure it is a fun, stress free environment for mums to get out with baby and shape up at the same time, find out more from the links below:
These classes run in blocks of 6 weeks. This means everyone starts training on the same date and works together towards a common goal at the end of the 6 weeks, so everyone in the group progresses and increases their fitness levels together and encourages eachother.

Mummy Bootcamp Testimonials
I started Mummy Bootcamp 10 weeks after having baby Aisling, there is a really nice chatty atmosphere with the other mums all trying to come to grips with getting back to exercise. The sessions are less intense than a regular bootcamp session and I found it amazing how quickly the body responds to the sessions. The instructors really mix up the exercises so you never know what to expect... I now find that I'm fitter than I was before I became pregnant...maybe it's the addition of the buggy!
I started mummy and buggy bootcamp when my daughter was 7mths old. I hadn't done any 'real' exercise in about 10yrs but really wanted to get a bit fitter and lose some of the baby weight. I was afraid I wouldn't be able for it but you can really go at your own pace. I loved bootcamp and when my second baby came along I couldn't wait to get back and started when he was 8wks. I find it such a great way of getting fit, losing a few lbs, and best of all getting up, out and meeting a few other mums and having a coffee and chats afterwards. I hope to keep it up by going to one of the evening classes when I go back to work.

Edward Snowden was elected rector of Glasgow University
/ News
US whistleblower Edward Snowden has been elected rector of Glasgow University.
The computer analyst was nominated by a group of students who said they had received Mr Snowden's approval through his lawyer. He defeated cyclist Graeme Obree, author Alan Bissett and the Rev Kelvin Holdsworth.
Mr Snowden became a wanted man when his leaks brought to light secret National Security Agency documents which revealed widespread US surveillance of phone and internet communications.
He is living in Russia where he was given temporary asylum.
A statement from the group which nominated Mr Snowden said: "We are incredibly delighted to see Edward Snowden elected as the new Rector of Glasgow University.
"We have a proud and virtuous tradition of making significant statements through our rectors and today we have once more championed this idea by proving to the world that we are not apathetic to important issues such as democratic rights.
"Our opposition to pervasive and immoral state intrusion has gone down in the records.
"What is more, we showed Edward Snowden and other brave whistleblowers that we stand in solidarity with them, regardless of where they are.
"In the following weeks we will continue to campaign for the NSA and GCHQ to cease their assault on our fundamental right to privacy and for Edward Snowden to be recognised as the courageous whistleblower he is, rather than a traitor."
Promoted stories
Previous incumbents have been elected as political statements, including Winnie Mandela in 1987 and Israeli whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu in 2005.
The election was held under the single transferable vote system. Mr Snowden received 3124 votes in the first round and 3347 in the second. The nearest candidate was Rev Holdsworth, with 1563.
PhD student Chris Cassells said: "It's a clear statement from Glasgow students that they stand in opposition to pervasive state surveillance."
But some students expressed disappointed with the outcome.
Louise Wilson said: "It sucks. It's very disappointing but not surprising in the slightest.
"I'm all for political statements, but at a time when the university and students need the biggest say with all the cuts it's just not appropriate not to have a working rector."
Hannah McNeill added: "I'm furious. I think most people here are very upset about the result. We need an active rector."

Best Asian Grocery (2000)
PK Oriental Mart
When Norman Wong left Hong Kong twelve years ago, he moved to Miami "because," as he says, "somebody's got to live there." He founded PK in 1994 and has worked hard to build the market's reputation as one of the most reliable sources of East Asian foods in South Florida. The store has a down-home, middle-America feel, with no trace of the religious paraphernalia, sexy videos, or raggedy clutter that tends to show up in smaller, mom-and-pop specialty stores. Instead you'll find well-scrubbed aisles, a sweet smelling fish market, and a dandy supply of the goodies that a wok-wielding cook will need to stir some of the multitudinous styles of Asian grub at home: hot chili oil, live blue eels, Florida farm-grown Chinese vegetables, ya pears flown in fresh from China, and -- our favorite -- the best brands of frozen dumplings imported all the way from Brooklyn.

Annual Family Concert
Sunday October 18 at 3:00 PM
The Maple City Chamber Orchestra, directed by Brian Mast, will present their annual Family Concert: "Tubby the Tuba" and More Musical Tales on Sunday, October 18 at 3 p.m in Goshen College's Sauder Concert Hall. The concert will feature Mary Lehman Yoder as narrator and Roger Lewis as "Tubby the Tuba," two famous overtures by Rossini- Barber of Seville and William Tell, as well as the Mother Goose Suite by Ravel. Admission is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be taken at the door.
All-Grieg Program
by Maple City Chamber
Goshen native Mary Rose Norell will be the piano soloist in "Norwegian Spring," the spring concert of the Maple City Chamber Orchestra, featuring the works of Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). The free concert will take place in Sauder Concert Hall at Goshen College on Saturday, May 9, 2015, at 7:30 p.m., conducted by Brian Mast.
Norell will play Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A Minor" (1868), a three-movement piece grounded in Norwegian folk melodies and noted for its virtuosic cadenza in the first movement. Although it is Grieg's only concerto, it has become a favorite in the orchestral repertoire.
Preceding the concerto, the orchestra will perform Grieg's four "Symphonic Dances," which are even more so based on folk melodies, giving Grieg the reputation as a "nationalistic composer."
In January 2015 Norell was awarded second place in the Young Artist Competition at the Grieg Festival in Sarasota, Florida. That achievement led to an invitation for Norell to perform in the "Edward Grieg and the Human Voice" festival in Troldhaugen, Norway, the home of Grieg, May 28-31, 2015. The prize also led to an invitation to return to Sarasota in January 2016 for solo concerts.
Norell began studying the piano at the age of five in Goshen with Marvin Blickenstaff. After graduating from Goshen High School, she earned B.M. and M.M. degrees in Piano Performance at Indiana University and then a doctorate in piano performance at Northwestern University in 2012.
Norell is on the faculty of the Community School of the Arts at Goshen College, where she leads her own piano studio and is Activities Coordinator for the school. She is the daughter of Mark and Sherry Jordan of Goshen and the wife of Luke Norell, pianist, with whom she performs as the Norell Piano Duo.
The Maple City Chamber Orchestra was formed in 1997 and presents four free concerts per year, under the direction of Brian Mast.
Mozart Symphony and
Trumpet Solos in
Winter Concert
"Triumphant Trumpets," the winter concert by the Maple City Chamber Orchestra, will include three pieces for trumpets and orchestra and a major symphony by Mozart. The free concert will be performed in Sauder Music Hall at Goshen College on Saturday, February 28, at 7:30 p.m. The trumpet soloists are Greg Smucker and Chloe Holmes.
Smucker will open the program with the Concerto in D for Trumpet by Guiseppi Torelli (1658-1709), who is noted for developing the solo concerto as a musical form and for his many compositions for trumpet.
Holmes will then solo in Quiet City by the modern American composer Aaron Copland (1900-1990), who originally composed the piece in 1940 as incidental music for the play of the same name by Irwin Shaw, where it was intended to invoke the main character's troubled experience. Heidi Eash will play solo English horn.
Smucker and Holmes will conclude the first half of the program with the Concerto for Two Trumpets by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), the only piece for brass solo that Vivaldi composed. It consists of two fanfare-like Allegro movements, linked by a contrasting Largo.
The second half of the program is devoted to Symphony No. 40 in G Minor (1788) by Mozart (1756-1791). One of his late and best known symphonies, it is only one of two symphonies composed by Mozart in a minor key, yielding its popular designation as the "Great G Minor Symphony" and creating a tragic, emotional effect.
Chloe Holmes, a native of California recently moved to Michiana, is Adjunct Professor of Trumpet at I.U. South Bend, as well as a freelance soloist, chamber musician and pit orchestra member. She graduated with degrees in music from Bob Jones University and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she was given the A.A.Harding award for excellence in performance. She is a three-time semi-finalist at the National Trumpet Competition and has toured throughout the U.S. and five European nations.
Greg Smucker, manager of Snyder Paints in Goshen, has been a member of the orchestra since its beginning and is currently chair of the orchestra's board. With a degree in music from Goshen College, he was co-conductor of the orchestra in 2001-02, has been principal trumpet and occasional soloist, and also performs with the big band Truth in Jazz and the Maple City Brass Quintet. He composes music for worship and other special occasions.
The Maple City Chamber Orchestra, which presents four free concerts per year, was founded in 1997 by Goshen native Michael Ruhling and is currently conducted by Brian Mast. A history of the orchestra from 1997 to 2014, written by Ervin Beck, can be found below.

Chorale and Chamber
Orchestra to Perform
"Old and New" Christmas
The Goshen Community Chorale will join the Maple City Chamber Orchestra in the free concert, "Sounds of Christmas: Old and New," Saturday, December 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Sauder Concert Hall at Goshen College.
Two works by Bach are the major classical pieces on the program. His "Cantata 191," composed for Christmas Day 1745 in Leipsig, consists of three movements. The first and third are extended choruses enhanced by timpani and trumpets. The middle movement is a tender duet for tenor and soprano, with flute obligatto. The soloists are Chelsea Esther Thompson, soprano, and Joshua James Bungart, tenor. Both are natives of southwestern Michigan, now students in the music department at Goshen College. Flautist is Kathy Blosser, a member of the orchestra. The second Bach piece is "Kneel and Worship," from Part IV, for Epiphany, in Bach's "Christmas Oratorio."
The orchestra and chorus for Bach will be conducted by William Mateer, the new director of the chorale, who succeeds Lee Dengler. Mateer moved to Goshen from Wooster, Ohio, where he was a mental health professional and directed a number of choirs. He is founder of the Baroque ensemble, "Musica Felice," in which he plays the recorder.
Brian Mast, orchestra conductor, will direct the choir and orchestra in the musical suite, "Many Moods of Christmas," a medley arranged by Robert Shaw and Robert Russell Bennett. The orchestra will also play Vaughn Williams' "Greensleeves" and two favorites by Leroy Anderson, "Sleigh Ride" and the "A Christmas Festival."
The choir's additional numbers include five international carols, as well as two different settings of the ancient text for morning prayers, "O Magnum Mysterium," by Thomas Luis de Victoria (1549-1611) and contemporary American composer Morton Lauridsen.
A free-will offering will be taken. The concert is also supported by the Indiana Arts Commission and patrons of both groups.
The Community Chorale, which gives two concerts a year, has its origins in the Goshen Community Chorus founded in 1965 by the late Dwight Weldy. The Maple City Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1997 by Michael Ruhling, gives four concerts each year. More information can be found on the organizations' websites.
Paddington Bear in
Orchestra's Family
The Maple City Chamber Orchestra will play its annual concert for families and children of all ages Sunday, October 12, at 3 p.m. in Sauder Concert Hall at Goshen College. The program consists of three narrated pieces written especially to help children understand the instruments, the conductor and "The Thrill of the Orchestra," the concert's theme. The highlight will be "Paddington Bear's First Concert," by contemporary British composer Herbert Chappell. He was initially asked by Michael Bond, the Paddington author, to compose music for a Paddington cartoon and stage musical. When "Paddington Bear's First Concert" premiered in 1986 at the Barbican in London, it was so popular that the Barbican became known as the "Bearbican," and children now bring teddy bears to their concerts. Two pieces are by Russell Peck (1945-2009), a composer of symphonic music influenced by soul music from his native Detroit. His "The Thrill of the Orchestra," one of his most popular works, introduces the sections and individual instruments of the orchestra. Peck's "Playing with Style" (1991) is really a "concerto for conductor," since it explains and demonstrates how Brian Mast, conductor, helps create dynamics and tempo changes during a performance. The finale of the piece features many shifts in mood and style. The narrator for all three selections will be Anna Yoder Schlabach, who was active in both theater and orchestra when she was a student at Goshen High School and Goshen College. Her narrative skill has been honed by telling and reading stories to her twins, Sophie and Caleb. The Maple City Chamber Orchestra, which presents four free concerts each year, was founded in 1991 by Goshen native Michael Ruhling. Brian Mast has been conductor and music director since 2002. More information can be found on the orchestra's website.
Beethoven and Mozart in
Spring Concert
May 10, 2014
Major works by Beethoven and Mozart will fill the spring concert of the Maple City Chamber Orchestra on Saturday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. in Sauder Hall at Goshen College. This free program will feature Luke Norell as soloist and Brian Mast as conductor. Beethoven's "Symphony No. 1 in C Major" was first performed in Vienna in 1800. It illustrates Beethoven's indebtedness to his teacher Joseph Haydn and to Mozart, but its use of more wind instruments anticipates the complex symphonies for larger ensembles that characterize Beethoven's later work. This is the first Beethoven symphony that the orchestra has included in its repertoire. Mozart's "Piano Concerto No. 21 in C. Major" was first performed in 1785. Its second movement, "Andante," has become well known due to its use as thematic music for the Swedish film "Elvira Madigan" in 1967. Luke Norell, the soloist, is the lead faculty member for piano in the Goshen Community School of the Arts. A native of Minnesota, Luke is completing a doctorate at Indiana University. He has earned first place awards at three different piano competitions. He was harpsichord soloist with the Maple City Chamber Orchestra in its March concert, "Baroque Wind and Strings," playing Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 5."

The naked city
Scouts, and the ins and outs of taking your clothes off in public.
long time ago, children, and I was walking down the long, dusty trail to my campsite at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, when I was passed by a flatbed truck full of gleefully hooting festival arrivals. As the truck rumbled by, a respectable, elderly woman the sort of woman one is accustomed to find superintending a Sunday school or volunteering in a soup kitchen whipped off her industrial-strength, peach-colored, foam- and whalebone-laden JCPenney Ladies' Department bra and waved it above her head, yelling, "Freedom!" Her bosoms, opalescent and blue-veined, tumbled out like a school bus-crushing avalanche. And I, a demure girl from the Midwest, born into a religion that frowns on coed swimming, stood there as the truck passed, with the faux-nonchalant look of the only MFA at the monster truck rally.
We all grow up seeing naked people on late-night cable, in certain magazines, on field trips to the art museum. Even Barbie, once you peel those hot-pink culottes off her rubbery legs, is a semireasonable facsimile enough to make you avert your eyes momentarily when you find one lying in a gutter covered with leaf mold, like an outtake from a David Lynch film. And anyone who stays in San Francisco long enough is going to see naked people on parade. Gay Day, Folsom Street Fair ... even Critical Mass now has its naked contingent. The nekkid and mobile have become a powerful force in modern-day San Francisco.
But the thing is unless we grew up on some nudist macramé commune most of us are used to seeing nudity only in certain designated settings. Ghirardelli Square, for example, is a tourist ghetto, seemingly created for the purpose of drawing in and containing tourists. Nudist retreats, nude beaches, nude magazines, representations of nymphs being ravished by Zeus, and the occasional fetish-friendly street festival function in much the same way, as a nudist ghetto. That's where the naked goes, and that's where the naked stays.
But what about ordinary, out-and-about-the-town nudity? Civic nudity, even? Naked lollygagging in Dolores Park? What while we're at it about naked errand running?
We San Franciscans like to think of ourselves as an enlightened people. When naked bottoms go jogging past us during Bay to Breakers, we point and say, "Ha, ha, ha! Only in San Francisco!" as though those wobbling tuchuses were a magic talisman keeping Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public from moving in next door and putting one of those cement geese with the little outfits out on the front step. Nonetheless, we're still a lot more likely to chance upon a Playboy pictorial featuring women playing golf, dressed in nothing but tam-o'-shanters, than we are to encounter actual naked golfers, no matter how pleasant the weather down in Golden Gate Park.
But did we not usher in the Age of Aquarius? Why is it that Berkeley had a Naked Guy and we never did? Admittedly, it's a bit chillier on this side of the bay, but so what? We could have a Seasonally Naked Guy. A Naked Guy with a little mink stole. A Naked Guy with mittens. Why is it that San Franciscans are so ready to cover their bad naked selves with glitter and dance like pixies at Burning Man but so rarely feel or at least act on the urge to cover their bad naked selves with glitter to return a video or go out for tapas?
One typical response to such questions goes along the lines of "Nobody wants to see your naked bottom sashaying down Main Street, anyway." To some, nakedness may seem freewheeling and charming; others are in no mood to watch your testicles swinging in the breeze before breakfast. And yet Main Street is bustling with activities that may or may not appeal to the average viewer. Nobody, for example, wants to see your dog in a sweater, but I don't see you getting arrested for it.
Perhaps the simpler question, while we're on the subject of arrests, is not "Is civic nakedness a good, just, appropriate, and/or aesthetically appealing activity to embark on in our fair city?" but rather "Is it legal?" This is something of a tangled issue, as it turns out, and more than enough to keep us occupied.
Your skin, and how much of it is allowed to be showing, is usually regulated at the county level the theory being that different communities have different standards concerning which body parts are "not for sharing." That's why the amount of glitter covering lap dancers varies so much from city to city. San Francisco, predictably, heavily legislates stripper glitter, but as far as we can tell, there are no municipal ordinances whatsoever regarding not-for-profit, everyday nudity. We scoured the Police Code and found nothing. We queried the City Attorney's Office and were referred to the California Penal Code. And none of the lawyers and police officers interviewed for this story seemed to be aware of any local code.
Plenty of other cities have them. In New York, for example, women are legally entitled to be just as topless as men, which means New York could theoretically be filled with topless women wearing carpenter pants and drinking beer on fire escapes, jogging down the street with headphones on, and sunbathing in European-size Speedos on boulders in Central Park. It's not, regrettably but still, it's legal. Is it legal here in our fair, sunny Babylon? It depends on whom you talk to.
For you see, having no laws of our own, we are forced to go by California state law, which goes something like this:
California Penal Code, Section 314: Every person who willfully and lewdly, either: 1. Exposes his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public place, or in any place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed thereby ... is guilty of a misdemeanor.
From which text one might draw the conclusion that standing in front of the Transamerica pyramid in nothing but bunny slippers and a tiara would automatically be illegal, owing to its being a public space. Theoretically, though, you could be watering the posies in your backyard with no clothes on and be entirely within the bounds of the law. However, should a troop of Boy Scouts march past and see you engaging in pantsless horticulture, your actions would magically transmogrify into illegality but only if said troop of Boy Scouts were offended. Or annoyed. And, because state law has traditionally grouped public nudity with things like flashing and public masturbation, if you persisted in being naked and the Boy Scouts persisted in being annoyed, you could eventually be convicted of public indecency and registered as a sex offender in the state of California, which might make for interesting conversation at cocktail parties but could make matters difficult when it comes to, say, making friends with the neighbors or getting a job involving small children.
Making matters even more interesting is the 1972 case of Chad Merrill Smith on Habeas Corpus. Nude beachgoer Smith, irate at the prospect of having to pay a $100 fine and register as a sex offender for sunning himself on a remote stretch of sand, took his case all the way to the California Supreme Court. And that august entity eventually very generously declared that there was nothing inherently lewd, or even particularly sexual, about just having no clothes on.
Despite the beach-centric nature of that case, redoubtable Berkeley lawyer Bill Simpich who has done pro bono defense work for Debbie Moore and Marty Kent of Berkeley activist theater troupe the X-plicit Players says that Section 314 plus the 1972 ruling make it possible to scamper around California like a little naked pixie, scattering naked dust hither and yon.
"Of course it's legal!" Simpich chortled jovially over the telephone. "In order to convict you according to state law, they have to prove that your behavior was willful and lewd, and 1972 proved that there's nothing lewd about just being naked." However, this only applies as long as you don't fall afoul of any park (state or national) or municipal codes. Or any irate citizens and respectable businesspeople who demand the police do something about your hedonism. And this is assuming you're willing to be arrested by anyone unaware of or unfazed by the 1972 ruling and to fight your case in court.
Back in the early '90s, when Moore and fellow X-plicit Player Nina Schilling began going around in the altogether, they would carry a copy of Section 314 and organize mini-teach-ins on California state law with any officers who decided to arrest them. And Simpich won every case he took defending the Players. Until August of '93, that is, when during a veritable heyday of civic nakedness, with the Naked Guy posing in Playgirl and even attending a Berkeley City Council meeting in the buff the council passed a law making it illegal to be naked anywhere in Berkeley within public eyesight. (The Players continued to win some cases with the help of juries reluctant to convict a naked theatrical troupe, but they eventually received a municipal conviction in 2001.)
Interestingly enough, naked activists have good things to say about San Francisco. Kent of the X-plicit Players says his group has performed here several times and had no major problems with the police. They've hung out naked at Adobe Books and Dolores Park and were even berated by the owner of Pancho Villa Taqueria on 16th Street for dressing before coming inside to order tacos. Marvin Gordon, a Mohawked, habitually birthday-suited SoMa performance artist, also has no troubles to report, with the exception of one tense harmonica performance at Julie's Supper Club, where he was caught between an irate patron demanding he put his clothes on and an equally fervent event promoter demanding he take them off.
However, it bears considering and repeating that just because you might be able to ward off a conviction in a court of law, and just because a bunch of naked artists got away with it, doesn't mean you're not going to get arrested in the first place.
Simpich has neither dealt with nor heard of any public nudity cases in San Francisco, and he has demonstrated something of an interest in the matter. San Francisco criminal defense attorney Nanci Clarence, however, has been approached by a few prospective clients who were ticketed in areas like the Presidio that are managed by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (all of them eventually decided to pay up rather than deal with the cost and effort of managing a federal court case). According to Clarence, the GGNRA's federally employed Park Police, often out-of-towners, have a reputation for getting a little testy when confronted with decadent Californians engaging in a little decadent Californian sunbathing. And unlike state park rangers, the feds don't follow the "Cahill directive" (named after former California parks director Tim Cahill), which dictates that rangers should politely ask you to put your clothes on before issuing you a ticket.
I asked around at the San Francisco Police Department whether people often get picked up for just being naked, and the answer was no, according to Lt. Gary Jimenez of the Mission precinct and Sgt. Bill Griffin of the Park precinct. It seems that nearly everyone arrested for public nudity is doing something in addition to being naked that renders them arrest-worthy. For example, the last naked person Griffin booked was not only naked but also lying down on the BART tracks. People freaking out on PCP, in particular, tend to rip off all their clothes. "Sometimes it gets too hot in their space suit," Griffin explained.
In fact, almost all the SFPD officers I spoke with volubly expressed their lack of interest in arresting your naked self. The phrase "This is San Francisco!" was indignantly and frequently used.
And indeed, parade and festival nudity continues unabated, and nobody seems to be up in arms about it: 1993, for example, was the last year anyone was arrested for running naked in Bay to Breakers.
No one at the SFPD, however, seemed to be interested in giving his or her wholehearted stamp of approval to your jogging pants-free into the sunset, or even into the Safeway on Church and Market Streets, for that matter. The consensus: a warning would be issued previous to any arrest attempt. A few officers admitted that a complaint about, say, naked sunbathers on the roof of an apartment building was unlikely to be followed up on unless traumatized children were somehow involved. It's also useful to remember that, since nudity is a misdemeanor offense, an officer actually has to see you naked in order to arrest you or write you a ticket. So if you're a speedy dresser (like the clever Bay to Breakers participants who chose to cover up before crossing the finish line), you might not get into any trouble at all.
All of which, admittedly, puts anyone devoted to the concept of civic nudity in a quandary. Much is forbidden, but few are arrested, and some of it isn't exactly illegal, but only if you can prove it in a court of law. One day you might skateboard down Market Street in nothing but a turban made of bubble wrap, and everyone would just point at you and say, "Ha, ha, ha! Only in San Francisco!" Possibly tourists would snap your picture to show their relatives in Des Moines. Another day, you might be instructed by a member of the SFPD to clothe yourself immediately and get hauled down to the jailhouse if you declined.
The general guidelines seem to be as follows: In most semi-private situations, like a rooftop or a backyard, chances are good you can let your freak flag fly as long as the weather holds. Certain nudity-ghetto parades and street fairs have proved to be pretty much a free ride to unprosecuted pantslessville in recent years, but you might not have the same luck at the Fillmore Block Party that you would at the Folsom Street Fair. In public arenas like city parks or the beach, you may be asked to cover your private parts if someone brings the law down on you, and a ticketing and/or arrest will likely follow if you should choose to decline in favor of free speech and whatnot. On city streets, the likelihood of those events taking place increases severalfold. You're taking your chances with the GGNRA folks, and you probably shouldn't take it into places like Nordstrom's at all, even if you really are there to buy yourself a nice summer frock.
Consider arming yourself with Section 314 and a copy of the Chad Merrill Smith case and the phone number of a good lawyer. And until the day when your naked tuchus is entirely free and legal and everybody knows it, the most prudent course of all would be to keep a spare pair of pants handy.
