The Bavarian Ice Festival blends winter activities, snow sculptures, and holiday lights into two days of revelry amid Leavenworth's ivory snowflakes. Busses operated by Alki Tours depart at 8 a.m. and deliver Saturday visitors to downtown Leavenworth, where the annual Smooshing contest finds teams of four atop 8-foot wooden planks as they glide merrily down Front Street and safely away from escaped dinosaurs. Guests can relax under warm blankets and sip hot chocolate or coffee during a 40-minute horse-drawn sleigh ride. First day visitors also take in the artwork of an ice-sculpting contest, a slippery footed tug-of-war, and an ice cube scramble or frisbee sweep for the kids.
With a fleet of planes, trains, automobiles, and boats stationed across the Pacific Northwest, Clipper Vacations unveils the signature sights of the region, from the quiet ocean side vistas of the San Juan Islands to the bustling metropolises of Seattle and Vancouver. Three sea-going crafts—the Victoria Clipper, Victoria Clipper III, and Victoria Clipper IV_—watch whales and cruise between islands while historians try to discover why the _Victoria Clipper II was disowned. The company's overland vehicles provide transportation to and from local events and festivals such as pop culture mecca of Emerald City Comicon or the Leavenworth Wine Walk, which serves fermented vintages from 25 local wineries.
After his first time riding a Segway, 11-year-old Gregg Jantz Jr. was hooked. There weren't Segway tours in his hometown of Edmonds, so he and his father went to the company's headquarters in New Hampshire to learn more about the self-balancing transporters. They were excited about what they learned there, leading to the creation of Segway of Edmonds.
Today, visitors can take 90-minute tours of Puget Sound. By day, the tours take a historical angle, and educate groups about Olympic Beach and the mills that used to sit along the coast. Sunset tours create beautiful photo ops, and can be arranged to end with dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants. All tours begin with a 30-minute orientation session, and guides stop occasionally to take photos of groups and make sure no one has fused to their Segway. Visitors can also rent Segways for self-guided tours.
Each of Seawillow Adventures' cruises begin in historic Thea Foss Waterway, floating leisurely into Commencement Bay before rounding Point Defiance for tranquil Gig Harbor. Whether embarking on a day trip or sunset cruise, the Seawillow's amenities are at your disposal. These include an upper fly bridge with bench seats, barbecue grill, and breathtaking views; a lower rear deck where guests could easily fish or dive into the water; and a living room with seating for eight. The living room boasts a 26-inch TV, video games, and WiFi.
In March 1964, Dr. Milton Walker began his tour of England with one mission: to send cuttings from public and private British gardens back to his native America. Though he was enchanted by several flowers, he knew that none of these cuttings could be imported directly to the United States. So he had them sent through Canada. Over the next several years, staff from the University of British Columbia filtered through these samples, sending one of each plant on to the United States—and to their permanent home—at the Rhododendron Species Foundation. Today, this non-profit organization conserves 700 of the more-than 1,000 species of rhododendrons found around the world and the two species found inside the earth's molten core.
More than 10 botanical gardens house these brilliant seasonal blooms and their natural companionate flora. Guided and self-guided tours usher visitors down pathways where colorful plantings abound in gardens dedicated to alpine flowers, azaleas, a magnolia grove, and a tranquil pond filled with predatory cattails. In addition to flowers, these gardens also host seasonal events such as special plant sales and staff lectures, as well as classes on topics ranging from plant photography to gardening.

Becoming one is quick and painless, unlike childbirth.

Sunday is my big day for getting things done. The reason for this is because I like to start my week out with a clean house and I usually need my husband to help me with my son in order to get this accomplished. Although it is a lot of work when I would rather be taking a nap after church, this schedule seems to work the very best for me.

The Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G runs a less-than-admirable OS version
At just $100, the Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G has a number of things going for it. It delivers a consistent 4G LTE experience, it has an attractive, compact build, and it's ideal for customers looking for a simple, no-contract smartphone.
Unfortunately, one huge oversight with the device is that it runs on the Android 2.3 operating system. In the smartphone world, this is ages old (after all, there have been two updates since then). And the fact that MetroPCS carries plenty of other devices with Android 4.0 for about the same price, if not cheaper, doesn't … Read more

TUCSON - When you run a daycare center, your operating license is gold. You need to keep it current so parents know, you're worthy of caring for their kids.
In 2009 the state radically spiked its licensing fees which run on a three year cycle. One daycare provider in Tucson has paid most of the fees for the next three years but her license remains expired creating a number of hurdles.
Sebastian is two. He started Little Angels Daycare a year ago. Located on the south west side, it's convenient for his mom.
"It's close to where I go to school. It's close to where my mother works. So if something were to happen to him or emergency, I can get to him," says Micaela Rivera
Doralina Martinez owns Little Angels and called Kristi's Kids. She says in 2006 her licensing fee was $150 for 3 years. In 2009 the fee shot up to $4000.
"The impact on the classroom with our paint brushes, glue, tempera paint, construction paper...and every daycare operator out there knows what I'm talking about," says Martinez.
Kristi's kids traveled to Phoenix for answers.
"That was when the department had to make licensing services self funding," says Cara Christ, Asst. Director of Licensing Services at the Arizona Department of Health.
She says those fees were steady for decades until the 2009 state budget forced a hike. Christ adds there are programs in place to assist providers with the fees such as Empower Pack.
Martinez benefitted from Empower Pack and is almost paid up. Her license expired last month while she makes payments for the remainder.
Without a currently dated certificate, it is causing problems with contractors.
"The contracts with the tribes also require the new copy of the license with the new expiration date," explains Martinez.
The Department of Health tells Kristi's Kid they contacted the tribes to say Little Angels is in compliance and her application is in process and a new certificate will be sent when fees are paid in full.
Martinez says her insurance provider needs a current license also. And recently a prospective new client made a visit.
"But one of the things that the parent did notice was my license on the wall with the expiration, the date," recalls Martinez.
Since our investigation started, Martinez say the state provided additional documents to submit to the tribes. She tells us she's on pins and needles waiting to hear if that will cut through the red tape.

Diplomas were handed out to 514 students.
Senior class president Matt Durant told his classmates that, regardless of their motivations, all could now celebrate their achievement of getting that high school diploma.
The stands weren't as crowded as in years past, as graduates were able to hand out only six tickets each to family and friends. There also wasn't the overflow and long lines down Lowell Avenue like last year.
For the full graduation story, read the Friday, June 8 edition of the Tracy Press.

Emerson Carey was stationed in earthquake stricken area
MARQUETTE -- One of the areas in Japan hit hardest by the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami is the city of Sendai.
U.P. resident and World War II veteran Emerson Carey was stationed in the Counter Intelligence agency in Sendai in 1947. The city was also in a state of disrepair at that time.
Carey said only three concrete buildings remained in the city as a result of wartime firebombing.
Today, the official count of the dead in Japan's earthquake and tsunami is nearing 3,700. Nearly 8,000 are missing and some 434,000 people were made homeless and are living in shelters.
"If I was younger, I'd like to be over there helping them," says Emerson Carey. "I really would, but at 91, I can't make it, but I hope we can do everything, because they really need it."
Food, water and other necessities are currently being rationed in Sendai.

hey this may sound stupid but can a psi ball be pogrammed to explode :)
It doesn't sound stupid at all. You can program a psi-ball do anything that you are able to do yourself. Psi-balls are you as well, there's no separation.
Hope this helps.. =)
Sussch is right, they can be programmed to explode. But remember, psiballs are made of subtle energy and aren't physical unless you are skilled with psychokinesis. So a psiball exploding would affect other energy, but not physical stuff.
yeah and i do need to shell it first right ? :)
Well if i can step in at all shelling it will help keep its shape but no you dont "Need" to shell it you can if you like it would help to make you better skilled with energy manipulation

Caché (Hidden) [DVD]
Director : Michael Haneke
Screenplay : Michael Haneke
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2005
Stars : Daniel Auteuil (Georges Laurent), Juliette Binoche (Anne Laurent), Maurice Bénichou (Majid), Annie Girardot (Georges's Mom), Bernard Le Coq (Georges's Editor-In-Chief), Walid Afkir (Majid's Son), Lester Makedonsky (Pierrot Laurent), Daniel Duval (Pierre), Nathalie Richard (Mathilde)
Mysteries are typically about their answers. People go to mysteries and thrillers expecting a story in which questions are raised and explored within two hours, with the ultimate goal being the arrival of the resolution--we find out who did what and why. Our obsession with answering these questions goes a long way toward explaining why we're willing to tolerate narrative laziness like the cliché "talking villain"--we need to know.
Michael Haneke's Caché (Hidden) is a different kind of thriller because it is not about its answers, but rather about its questions. The film's meat is in the journey, not the destination, as Haneke uses the basic form of the thriller to get at deep, uncomfortable questions about the nature of guilt. Some critics have compared Haneke's work here to Alfred Hitchcock, and that's a fair assessment, as long as we're thinking of Hitchcock in his experimental Vertigo mode. But, even that film supplied answers to the basic questions it raised.
The story in Caché involves an upper-class Parisian couple, Georges (Daniel Auteuil), who hosts a TV talk show about literature, and Anne (Juliette Binoche), who works for an upscale publishing house. They have begun receiving anonymous videotapes of their house under surveillance, the significance of which is a complete mystery. Why would someone do this? Is it a threat? A message? A warning? The tapes arrive unmarked and in plastic grocery bags, although they are accompanied by unsettling child-like drawings of a little boy who appears to be vomiting blood. Is this some kind of threat toward their 12-year-old son Pierrot (Lester Makedonsky)?
As the tapes continue to arrive, Georges' suspicion turns to Majid (Maurice Bénichou), a French Algerian who he knew as a child but has not seen for decades. The exact nature of Georges' childhood relationship with Majid is left vague for much of the film, even after he confronts him at his apartment, all to no avail. Haneke also throws in increasingly lengthy flashbacks (they begin as almost subliminal flashes, but later develop into something more coherent), although by the end of the film we cannot be sure if they are actual memories or dreams. Haneke makes it clear that they are rooted in Georges' consciousness, but that only makes them more suspect. They could very well be Georges' mind creating fantasy memories that fit the lies he's told in his past.
Throughout the film, Haneke shows a firm grasp of what makes a great thriller--an intriguing plot, careful development, well-placed clues, unexpected actions--which makes it all the more fascinating that he is utterly and completely uninterested in answering the questions he raises. Rather, his interest lies entirely in his characters and the way in which events from the past shape their present lives. Georges has a secret to hide, from both those around him and, apparently, from himself, and the lies of his early life come back to haunt him, literally.
In this respect, Caché is primarily a story about guilt and how even the things we do in childhood take on a life of their own (metaphorically speaking, the film is very much about France's national guilt over its treatment of Algeria, which can be seen in parallel to Georges' unthinking childhood selfishness). Caché is a powerful film in the way it draws us into the story and finds its most wrenching moments in the human drama of conflict, whether it be Georges faced with his wife's discovery of his having lied to her, or Anne being confronted by her son who suspects that she is having an affair with a family friend (like everything else in the film, who knows if he's right?). Haneke nails the emotional resonance of each scene, and even the ones that don't have simple explanations (like the much-discussed final shot that either explains a lot or brings up a host of new questions) have a quiet, terrible grandeur.

Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | |

Distributor | Sony Home Entertainment | |
Release Date | June 27, 2006 | |
The anamorphic widescreen image is excellent throughout, maintaining the film's high-definition digital images with good detail, strong color, and a clean presentation. Much of the film takes place either inside or during the daytime, so there aren't a lot of dark scenes; however, those few scenes that do take place outside at nighttime are well rendered, with good blacks and excellent shadow detail. The soundtrack is likewise strong, although it is extremely minimal. The film doesn't have an extradiegetic musical score, so the majority of the soundtrack is composed of dialogue and subtle sound effects, all of which are well presented in a front-heavy Dolby Digital 5.0 mix. | ||
There are two supplements on the disc, each of which runs about half an hour in length. The first is an in-depth video interview with writer/director Michael Haneke, in which he discusses the film and what he thinks it means, including that confounding final shot (so definitely don't watch the interview before the film). The other supplement is a typical and not terribly informative featurette about the film's production. There is also gallery of theatrical trailers for other films released on DVD by Sony, but oddly enough, the trailer for Caché isn't included. |

As Lakewood City Schools moves forward with the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, the district feels it is important to outline what this means to families, students and staff. Lakewood has already implemented the Common Core in daily instruction and the district's Teaching & Learning Department would like to share how the implementation is going and how learning in the classroom is changing due to the new, more rigorous standards.
As the community meeting to discuss Common Core on Dec 5, 2013, 6:00 PM at Garfield Middle School approaches, I wanted to submit some testimony that I read that was given in New York by a friend of mine who is a school superintendent in Central New York. His Name is Dr. Robert Prichard.
Because we've had so many requests for it, and because we have SO much great merchandise, for the first time, Christmas Sale on the Grounds will have a Friday preview sale from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. on December 6.

Council President Brian Powers called the November 18, 2013 Council meeting to order at 7:32 P.M. The first order of business was a report to be provided from the Committee of the Whole.
Councilman Powers (At-Large) read the report from the Committee of the Whole which covered two topics, the budget hearings schedule and an open appointment to the Board of Building Standards and Architectural Board of Review. The Committee settled on the dates of November 25 and December 7 and 9 as budget hearing days while leaving December 14 and 16 open as alternate days. In regards to the ABR appointment, they decided to all take time to review the applicants before discussing it further.
Next Councilman Powers also delivered a report from the Ad-Hoc Committee on Boards and Commissions. After what Powers believed would be their last meeting, the Committee approved of the ordinance for the Animal Safety and Welfare Advisory Board with the exception of adding the name of the board in the chapter title. Council approved of the minor change and passed the substitute ordinance.

In fact, Ms. Yellin is a trusted adviser to his mobile payments company, Square, Inc. Like Mr. Dorsey, Lakewood's business community knows what to do with aging parents and grandparents. Give them a job.
The City of Lakewood, The Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization (DSCDO), and LakewoodAlive have partnered to find owner-occupants and developers to rehabilitate two currently vacant boarding houses (1446 Mars Avenue; 1436 Grace Avenue) in an effort to further strengthen our community's historic neighborhoods.

Garfield Middle School Band Director and expert button box player Julie Tabaj has written, recorded and published her own polka and has committed the proceeds of the recording's sales to the Garfield Music Department.
According to Tabaj, the CD single, "Hot Flash Polka," was written "for all the women of the North, South, East & West. There are hundreds of tunes written about women but no one has ever written a tune about a life-changing occurrence all women will eventually experience. The song is an expression of that experience through music. It's upbeat, has temperature shifts (modulations) and lyrics that will make everyone smile."
The selection is available from CDbaby.com at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/julietabaj.
Tabaj will debut "Hot Flash Polka" with a live performance on Friday, Nov. 29, at the National Cleveland Style - Polka Hall of Fame & Museum's 50th Thanksgiving Polka Party Weekend in the Cleveland Downtown Marriott's Superior Room.

Growing up in a middle-class African American family, Sakeenah Francis was college homecoming queen, married, and had a family. However, when her daughter Anika was just three years old, Sakeenah began hearing voices and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Sakeenah describes her story as "Cinderella in reverse, from riches to rags." Her marriage broke up, she was institutionalized and wound up homeless.
The goal of the Westshore Regional CERT (WSC) is to help citizens prepare for disasters common in the area, to have the skills to capably handle a variety of emergency situations, and to be a vital extension of emergency response services when needs outweigh resources. The goal of Cuyahoga County District 1 Council Representative Dave Greenspan's Friends for the Community Foundation is to support, promote, and enhance the quality of life, public safety initiatives, programs, and services within the Westshore communities.
Local Cleveland artists Ben Howard, Rick Sans, and Sergio Andujar II have developed a new brand to produce designer toys and clothing. They spent the majority of the last few years creating various art and customizing designer toys, so they decided to collaborate to create something bigger together. All three have spent time in Japan, so Asian themes and pop art play a significant part in their influences. Other influences derive from local culture, cartoons, comic books, street art, video games and pop culture.
She was the first woman ever to be ordained in her home presbytery in the state of Wisconsin. Now Reverend Lynn Anderson of Grace Presbyterian Church in Lakewood, Ohio, is completing her twenty-fifth year as a Presbyterian minister.

Music seems to be a natural byproduct of living. And while the modern soundtracks we shop to at the grocery store or have piped into our ears from IPods have been approved, polished-up and promoted by massive conglomerates, that wasn't always the story of music in America. A local ensemble, the Spyder Stompers, celebrate the songs of the early 20th century that sprouted up in the backwoods, front porches and roadhouses of this country by ordinary people expressing the drama of their lives. The acoustic trio will be taking the stage at Lakewood Public Library on Sunday, December 8 at 2:00 p.m. as part of our Sunday With The Friends program.

Do you have a child under the age of two? Spend a part of your family weekend time clapping your hands, tapping your feet, singing nursery rhymes and, of course, sharing books. Reading with children from the very start is a very important part of early childhood development, and at Lakewood Public Library, we make it lots of fun.
American history is filled with inspiring stories, including of course Paul Revere's famous ride. Yet, when history is rendered through stories, movies, etc., it is often "bended" to conform to the dictates of rhyme, time constraints etc. In our freshman AP US history class at Lakewood High School, we periodically set the record straight, as we did recently with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride." Wadsworth wrote beautiful poetry, but he didn't tell the whole story. Here's more of it.
Paul Revere Debunked
By Lucy Kress and Cassidy Miller
You've heard of Paul Revere's ride on his own
But have it be told he was not alone
There were actually three heroes that night
To warn the colonists about the impending British plight
Have records show that Samuel Prescott and William Dawes
Also broke British laws
Let superhero Revere be de-caped

Beck Center for the Arts continues to create art experiences with the return of Super Saturdays @ Beck from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 7. This free arts experience is the perfect way for young aspiring artists to interact with music, dance, theater, and visual arts. While Super Saturdays @ Beck are geared toward children ages 1 to 8 years, siblings and friends up to age 10 may also take part in the fun.
Beck Center for the Arts is fully prepared for the rapidly approaching holidays this year. With plenty of opportunities to meet shopper's needs, Beck Center is here to help. From original gifts to gift cards and theater tickets and classes, there are numerous options to suit all styles and age groups.
By popular demand, Beck Center for the Arts presents the return of "Annie," December 6, 2013 through January 5, 2014 on the Mackey Main Stage. In 2012, Northeast Ohio audiences wholeheartedly responded to the touching story of the spunky orphan determined to find her parents who abandoned her at an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Hannigan's evil schemes and finds a new home in the mansion of Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks.
"It's a much-loved gem among seasoned theatergoers, but more importantly, it's a fantastic introduction to kids of all ages who will become our audiences of 'tomorrow,'" commented Director Scott Spence. "It's always amazing to revisit a project where you had a wondrous time collaborating with such talented artists," said Spence. "You can't beat getting a chance to do Annie for a second straight year with a terrific mix of returning veterans and superb new talent."
The Lakewood Council of PTAs is excited to host a Holiday Lights Contest for the residents and businesses of Lakewood!

Fall is the season for the Ohio Music Educators Association (OMEA) All-State and Regional Orchestra and District Band and Choir selections and, once again, Lakewood High can be proud of its high number of musicians selected to perform in these prestigious groups.
In Cuyahoga County, we know that manufacturing is a ticket to the middle class. For example, Arcelor Mittal, which I've been proud to work with and which President Obama just visited, is the most productive integrated steel plant in the world.

H&R Block tax experts offer tax talks
You have to love this town. Our informed and thoughtful community has once again demonstrated its commitment to our youth. Unofficial results show that by a resounding 70% vote, Lakewood voters approved the bond and permanent improvement levy that will allow us to move forward and complete the rebuilding of our school district. Lakewood's kids will benefit from teaching and learning in facilities second to none for many years to come.
As our nation continues to deal with more violence, both around the world, and in our land, I thought that it might be good to look at the potential effects of the permeation of war and violence in our culture with young people.
It seems like everywhere you look nowadays, kids have some sort of hand-held, combat-related video game in their hands. Every year, those games become more and more realistic, to the point that it might well become difficult for some kids to distinguish real life from the parallel universes offered by those games. For video game lovers, it's a great time to be alive.
Lakewood residents have once again shown their love of Lakewood Schools, and their dedication to education in the city of Lakewood. By a 2-to-1 vote count, Lakewood residents said YES to finshing the new Lakewood Schools.
The Lakewood Early Childhood PTA (LECPTA) is once again planning its popular children's resale of gently used children's clothing (sizes newborn to 14/16), furniture, toys and other items. The Baby Bargain Bonanza (BBB) is planned for Saturday, November 16th at Garfield Middle School which is located at 13114 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood. The sale is open to the public and will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Admission is $5 from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. and just $1 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Once again I would take this opportunity to thank Lakewood voters, and Lakewood residents for their continued support of Lakewood Public Schools and Education in Lakewood. I believe the first time I wrote a thank-you like this was for the resolution to build the new Lakewood Public Library, another brash bold statement of our collective belief that Education, and Educational Institutions not only have a place in the City of Lakewood, and more importantly, have the support of the community of Lakewood.
So what does that mean? It is simple. Not only do we benefit from smarter students and kids for a long time to come, we also get to further define and build our brand, and our brand always needs defining and building. And it is my thought that this builds the brand in the right direction, towards smart, towards youth, and towards new families, and that is where any community's future lies.
Council President Brian Powers called the November 4, 2013 Council meeting to order at 7:32 P.M. He then introduced the first order of new business on the agenda regarding the Tree Task Force.
The Affordable Care Act, or healthcare reform, is a set of health insurance reforms that started in 2010 and will continue to roll out in 2014 and beyond. The law's goal is to ensure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.
In the past year I had the opportunity to attend seminars and symposiums to help advance my knowledge and understanding as it relates to my career. This summer I spent some time listening to Charles Darrah, Ph.D. a Consulting Landscape Agronomist discuss run-off and how it may affect algae blooms in Lake Erie. I know this is an issue for a lot of lakeshore communities, and the EPA has already expressed their "concern." I was surprised at something that was said that indicated we could influence the blooms. It wasn't what I expected.
Now I may not make myself real popular with the city refuse guys, but NOT leaving your leaves piled on your tree lawn until the City leaf collection truck gets them will reduce the amount of nutrients flowing directly into the lake where they provide a food source for the algae.
Leaves and grass clippings flowing into the sewers add to algae blooms. If you bag your leaves (you could take them to the recycling center if you want to make nice with the collection guys), you cut down on nutrients the algae will feed on as the organic matter decays. Even if the wind and rain don't wash them down the storm sewers, the rain washes decaying run-off into them.
Lakewood's holiday season will officially kick off on Saturday, Dec. 7 during Light Up Lakewood – the city's annual holiday festival and lighting ceremony hosted by LakewoodAlive.
Acupressure is the practice of applying hand or finger pressure to specific energetic or conductive points on the body. It is based upon the same ancient principles as the art of acupuncture, except that it uses the softer form of curved finger pressure on the points.
The seven week fall session of Strokes of Genius at the Lakewood Public Library came to a close in November as participating second, third, and fourth graders proudly showcased their talent at an Art Show for family and friends. Each week students learned about the life and work of a different artist and then completed an art project motivated by the style of that artist.
Lakewood Charitable Assistance Corp. (LCAC) provides Holiday Food Baskets for 600 needy Lakewood families and seniors each year. Currently, the annual Thanksgiving food drive to fill those baskets is underway at St. Edward High School and several Lakewood City schools.
Windsong, Cleveland's premier feminist chorus, returns to Lakewood Public Library's First Floor Multipurpose Room on Sunday, November 17 at 2:00 p.m. Led by Artistic Director Karen Weaver and accompanied by pianist Karin Tooley, the chorus was founded in 1979 and adopted the name Windsong in 1992. Unlike many area choirs, Windsong is a non-audition chorus, looking for members who desire "to sing, to be heard, and to have a good time doing it."

The arduous journey to reclaiming one's life back from addiction and homelessness is not one most people can even envision in their imaginations, let alone travel for real. For residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA, recovery has meant bringing their stories to life for the public through a special program with the Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) -- the CPT/Y-Haven Theatre Project.
Polka and punk are two words not commonly used in the same breath, unless you are familiar with the Chardon Polka Band. From traditional polka standards to Lady Gaga, this local group is anything but the average oom-pah band.
Cuyahoga County heroes who fought for our country shouldn't have to fight for a job when they return home. Unfortunately, many do. And it's not right.
In August, The Lakewood Rocky River Sunrise Rotary welcomed its latest Rotary Youth Exchange Student, Leonardo Borges Jacinto from Canarana, Mato-Groiso, Brazil. He is one of three cousins from the same family who have been exchange students with the Lakewood Rocky Rive Rotary Clubs. Leonardo's cousin, Felipe Jacinto Drummond, from Goiania- Golas, Brazil, was hosted by the Sunrise Club in 2007/2008. Another cousin, Ana Diaz, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, was hosted by the Monday lunch Club in 1998/1999. The three cousins came here as part of the Rotary Student Exchange Program of Rotary International which each year, provides over 8,000 students from about 80 countries, the opportunity to go to school, live in a home with a host family, and learn more about Rotary and other countries by attending Club meetings. They join with other exchange students in their school, and the area, to participate in local club service projects as well as their school.
It's the one year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy.
It's been a full year since communities across the U.S. were devastated by this superstorm--from the coastline of New Jersey to right here in our backyard. There were thirty-foot waves on Lake Erie, downed trees, lost power, and hurt and scared neighbors. For Cleveland, it took over $17 million dollars in federal aid to fix the storm damage, and that's not even counting how much people had to shell out of their own pocket to fix windows, roofs, cars, or flooded basements. That's what the storm did to us. So what can we do to it?
We need to stop global warming.
At first glance, that sounds like a tall order. But scientists have repeatedly found a connection between our shifting climate and the increase of extreme weather events. In a global warming future, storms like Sandy won't be freak occurances--they'll be the norm. There is overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is being caused by our actions, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's a curse because that puts the blame on our own shoulders, and a blessing because that means we can do something about it.
Lakewood resident Edward Nolan entered the gaming market with a fast playing, strategic card game that is sure to be a hit. "The game I built is in the Casino genre, where you're basically betting against other players, not the house," says Edward. "It's a cross between betting on horses and Roulette."
It's true: a ranking member of the Santa Paws Public Appearance Preparedness Committee sent a tweet confirming @Santa_Paws will arrive in the nick of time for his Noon to 4:00 pm appearance at Photos with Santa Paws, scheduled for Sunday, November 24, 2013 at Pet's General Store, 16821 Madison Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio. The fundraising event is, again this year, presented by Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, Inc.
