NEWPORT–A fantastic season for the UCA Crusader boys came to a close on Monday evening, as they fell to the West Rutland Golden Horde 68-49 at the North Country gymnasium.
"Though we lost this game, I am proud of the effort my guys played with until the end," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere.
Chris DeLaBruere led UCA with 22 points, and grabbed nine boards.
Marquel Taylor-Webster was also in double-digits, score 13 in limited time while grabbing nine rebounds and recording five blocks.
Jordan Pease led all scorers with 24.

Chaffee–– Clair Albert, 61, of Albany, VT died March 1, 2013 at his home surrounded by his family.

DERBY – A state police scuba team recovered the body of 53-year-old Jacques LeBlanc from Lake Memphremagog late yesterday afternoon.
LeBlanc was using a tractor to move an ice shanty from the lake. It's unclear when LeBlanc went into the water, but family members last saw LeBlanc on the ice Saturday afternoon.
DERBY – IROC's executive director, Phil White, went before the court Monday in an attempt to get more time to try and refinance the organization's debt and avoid foreclosure.
But Community National Bank is saying no. The bank decided to give IROC until April 1 and does not want to extend the redemption period any longer. White has filed a motion asking to move the deadline to July 15.
COVENTRY – Someday, the North Country Supervisory Union may have a different configuration. Thursday evening, board members and principals from the district met at the Coventry Village School to discuss options for a potential increase in enrollment, including the possibility of a new middle school on the west side of the district and/or expansion of existing facilities.
Bryant–– Donna J., 73, of Westfield, VT passed away on February 26, 2013 in Newport, VT.
For the full obituary see Monday's Express.
NEWPORT CENTER – A rescue team is searching Lake Memphremagog for a man who fell through the ice and into the frigid waters while pulling an ice shanty behind a tractor.
The Vermont State Police Scuba Team, Newport Center Fire Department, and the U.S. Border Patrol spent much of Sunday searching the west side of the lake near McKinney Drive, off the Lake Road. By early evening, the search was temporarily suspended.
NEWPORT CITY – A Newport Center woman faces 20 years to life in prison for allegedly trying to kill her husband.
"I hope I killed him," were the words police say Jennifer Ahlquist, 40, used after they took her into custody Thursday.
Ahlquist was reportedly referring to stabbing Sean Ahlquist, 42, with a kitchen knife.
Ahlquist entered not guilty pleas and was held without bail, charged with attempted second degree murder, first degree aggregated domestic assault with a weapon, unlawful trespass, and simple assault.
ORLEANS-It was a long trip up from Brandon, Vermont for the 11th seeded Otter Valley Otters Saturday, and after a painful 29 point whupping by host Lake Region, it probably was a longer trip back.
The Lake Region backcourt had their way with the visiting Otters, forcing 26 turnovers with their relentless multi-headed group of guards to earn a to a trip to the Division Two Final Four at Barre Auditorium this coming Wednesday.
Add to the fact that the Otters had no answer for Drew Gallup inside, and it was a long afternoon for Otter Valley.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Mobile Fire-Rescue investigators are looking for an arsonist who set a home on fire where seven children and two women were sleeping.
It happened around one o'clock Thursday morning at a residence on Chatham Street, near the downtown area.
Investigators said the suspect set fire to the porch, which quickly spread. One of the women, Patrice Minter, told authorities she heard noises outside her bedroom window, saw the flames and then attempted to put it out. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire in minutes.
The children were safely evacuated.
Authorities said whoever is responsible will be charged with first-degree arson - a Class A felony.
The Red Cross assisted in finding the family temporary shelter in a motel.

I'm what you might call a hasty (read: impatient) stitcher. Methodical is not in my vocabulary. As a result, I make a lot of mistakes that I have to undo when embroidering or sewing beads on fabric. More often than not, I end up cutting the thread and starting over, all the while trying to block out the sound of my mother's voice in my head tsking, "Haste makes waste."
Quilted bags are among my favorite sewing projects. Why? They are easy to make and it's one project where no one ever asks, "What are you going to do with it?" Everyone knows how useful bags--especially quilted tote bags--can be. In my opinion, you can never have enough.
Do you long to make a quilt but don't know where to start? Or do you have a friend who could lessons on quilting for beginners? We have the perfect starter's guide, and it includes free quilt patterns for beginners!
The post reminded me once again of how many creative surface embellishment ideas we fiber artists have at our disposal. From stitching, to embroidery, to sewing beads on fabric, and more, embellishing techniques are part of our everyday repertoire. It's that extra touch that makes even a humble bag a work of art.
I've often blogged about how hand embroidery projects are great for creating on-the-go. But even I was amazed when I saw new QATV host Susan Brubaker Knapp at Quilt Market wearing a denim jacket covered with hand embroidery designs.
I was so happy to see so many hand embroidery designs at Quilt Market last month. I began learning hand sewing techniques as a young girl, and hand embroidery is still one of my favorite pastimes.
Whether you want to use up bits of this and that in your studio, experiment with a new supply or technique, practice your free-motion stitching, or you're just looking for something fun to quilt in a day, fabric postcards make great small quilting projects.
Spring is such a busy time of year: graduations, wedding showers, barbecues, the end of the school year, and so on. It seems I always need an idea for a quick gift for a teacher, hostess, or guest of honor.
That's when my bin of fabric scraps and list of fabric art projects come to the rescue.
One of the fastest--and most beautiful--ways to create unusual textures in quilting is through machine needle felting. You can create an entire piece of fiber art with needle felting, blending fibers together with the barbed needles on a base fabric. Or you can use needle felting here and there to add texture and interest to a piece.
In our eBook Digital Quilting Designs: Free Digital Art Techniques for Collage and Quilt, three fiber artists show you how to use photo-editing software, a printer, and surface design to create digital photo art.

Learning how to sew a quilt with curved piecing takes practice. All sewing techniques do. But experienced quilters know that some simple tricks can also make it easier to piece curves.
In our eBook Free Hand Sewing Techniques for Quilters: Learn Hand Embroidery, Stitches, and Trapunto, you'll get four hand stitching tutorials with a variety of hand embroidery techniques.
I have quite a stash of hand-dyed silk ribbon, beads, buttons, and trims that I could use to embellish a quilt. The trouble is, aside from my small fabric collages, I haven't been making embellished quilts recently.

Ashes 2013: Stuart Broad is a blatant cheat - Darren Lehmann
Australia coach Darren Lehmann has called on fans to make England's Stuart Broad "cry" over his "blatant cheating" in the first Ashes Test.
Broad was criticised for deciding not to walk after edging Ashton Agar to slip via keeper Brad Haddin's gloves.
More from Lehmann's interview
Triple M presenter: "The big news is that idiot Broad has finally come out and admitted what we knew, that it came off the centre. He's admitted he's done it on the eve of the Test after they've won the Test series, is he going to cop a bit of action when he comes to the crease?"
Lehmann: "He's been copping it all series, mate. I expect it will continue for a long time yet and I would hope the public get stuck into him when he gets out to Australia. I hope he whinges a lot."
Presenter: "I can't wait. He won't want to be fielding on the third man boundary, I reckon."
Lehmann: "The whole of Australia can help there, which I'm looking forward to."
"I hope the Australian public give it to him right from the word go for the whole [Australian] summer," he said.
"And I hope he cries and goes home. I don't advocate walking, but when you hit it to first slip it's pretty hard."
He added in the interview with Australian radio network Triple M: "Certainly our players haven't forgotten, they're calling him everything under the sun as they go past so I would hope the Australian public are the same because that was just blatant cheating."
England and Australia are playing back-to-back Ashes series.
The fifth and final Ashes Test of the English summer starts on Wednesday at the Oval, with England chasing their first ever 4-0 home win, while the return series starts in Brisbane on 21 November and finishes in Sydney in early January.
Broad recently defended his behaviour at Trent Bridge, insisting the noise caused by the ball flicking Haddin's gloves had caused confusion.
"It wasn't as clear-cut as everyone had thought, although I knew I'd hit it," he said.
Boycott's view
"There is no debate, it's quite simple. The Australians I have played with and have watched, with the exception of Adam Gilchrist, believe in standing and it's up to the umpire to give you out - there shouldn't be a moral argument."
Because they had already failed with two reviews during the second innings, Australia were unable to review umpire Aleem Dar's not out decision.
Broad was on 37 at the time and went on to add a further 28 runs to his score as England secured victory by only 14 runs.
After Triple M presenter described Broad as "an idiot", Lehmann said: "I hope everyone gets stuck into him. The way he has carried on is ridiculous.
"He knew he hit it at the slip. The biggest problem there is the poor umpire cops all the crap that he gets in the paper and Stuart Broad makes him look like a fool.
"From my point of view it's poor, so I hope the public get stuck into him."
Former England bowler Phil Tufnell believes Lehmann is simply attempting to distract attention from Australia's problems.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "That is just Darren Lehmann. I'm sure they were said a little bit tongue in cheek.
"He feels his side is in the spotlight coming into this Test and he is trying to deflect a little bit of pressure off himself and the side.
An Australian perspective
"Cricket Australia needs to tell Darren to zip it. He's out of order. Broad's going to cop a bit of heckling, but don't pour petrol on it."
"Make him cry and things? I'm sure they were said in jest.
"You expect that before you go down under but I think Stuart Broad is big enough and ugly enough to handle that kind of pressure from the Aussies.
"I am sure it will just spur him on."
Former England captain Nasser Hussain reckons the all-rounder will be fine on the pitch, but might need more managing off it.
"These boys go out on an evening, they don't sit in their hotel room," Hussain told Sky Sports.
"That's more likely where Broad will have to be careful because after these words, there might be some Aussie out there that, after having a few beers on an evening, wants to have a little go at Broad.
"But these are grown men, they can look after themselves and know how to behave like England cricketers, hopefully."
ABC commentator Jim Maxwell thinks Lehmann's comments are "incendiary" and believes he should be given a warning by Cricket Australia.
Maxwell told BBC Test Match Special: "It's obviously an issue that's been simmering since the Trent Bridge Test match and for some reason Darren's gone public. It sounds a bit like pub talk but he is the Australia team coach and he should be a little more careful.
"It's incendiary to be saying that before a home Test series against England. We all know what happens when people have a bit of juice at a Test match.
"Cricket Australia needs to tell Darren to zip it. He's out of order. Broad's going to cop a bit of heckling, but don't pour petrol on it."

In Congo, JGI's TCRC , the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in Africa, has rescued 18 mandrills ranging in age from one to 10 years old. Currently, JGI is building a much-improved enclosure at Tchimpounga for these and future mandrills requiring rehabilitation. This new enclosure will provide more space and enrichment for the mandrills while they await release.

CANTON - Consolidating Canton and Potsdam school districts would require negotiating new contracts for teachers, administrators and other staff members employed by merged district.
The process would involve finding common ground in areas like health insurance contributions, stipends and salary distribution, Roger D. Gorham, a consultant from Western Educational Council, Buffalo, said.
If you form a new school district, youve basically got a new employer, Mr. Gorham said.
Existing contracts for all employee groups would remain in place until new contract agreements are reached.
According to data collected by the consultants, the salary for a starting teacher at Canton Central is higher than at Potsdam Central. However, veteran teachers at Potsdam are paid more money than long-time Canton teachers.
Generally speaking, the Canton salary schedule favors teachers at the beginning of their careers, while the opposite is true for Potsdam teachers, Mr. Gorham said.
Teachers from both districts are paid based on a 28-step scale. Several other contract provisions are similar, such as the number of required work days and length of the work day.
Youd have to negotiate how that total money gets distributed among the 28 steps, Mr. Gorham told members of the Joint Advisory Committee during their last meeting.
Negotiations would also determine how stipends are paid to faculty members who supervise clubs and coach teams.
While there are differences in the calculation and amounts of these stipends and salaries, collectively, the cost is minimal, and in our opinion, could be successfully negotiated, the consultant report states.
Support staff in Canton are represented by four different bargaining units including groups for bus drivers, food service workers, secretaries and custodians. At Potsdam Central, all non-certified staff are represented by the Civil Service Employees Association.
Although many contract provisions are similar, substantive areas of negotiation would include the percentage of health care premiums paid by employees, the methods used to calculate various salaries, and the method used to account for bus drivers time.
Also, if a merger is approved, the new board of education has three choices for the superintendents position: the board could hire Canton Superintendent William A. Gregory, hire Potsdam Superintendent Patrick A. Brady or choose to hire another individual. In either case, a new contract would be negotiated with the selected individual.
Mr. Gorham said the new board would be obligated to honor the terms of the sitting superintendents contracts until the contracts expire or until the superintendents are employed elsewhere.

Bible aside, 'Eden' enchants
POSTED: Thursday, May 14, 2009
The Bible has provided the plot and characters for several stage musicals, with "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Godspell" topping the list. "Children of Eden" shares that genealogy, but with no stand-alone hits in the Stephen Schwartz score, it is popular but far less prominent.
» Place: Army Community Theatre
» When: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through May 23
» Cost: $12 to $20
» Info: 438-4480 or www.armytheatre.com
As luck would have it, Army Community Theatre's production is the second on Oahu this year, and the first by a major community theater group here. As directed by Brett Harwood, and with Megan Mount providing excellent support in her debut as musical director, this "Eden" offers wholesome G-rated musical entertainment for anyone willing to place entertainment over biblical accuracy. The caveat is necessary because John Caird's rewrite of the book of Genesis changes the balance of the stories in significant ways:
» Adam isn't tricked into eating the forbidden fruit. He leaves Eden of his own free will even after God offers to replace Eve with a better wife—Taylor Swift? Beyonce? Bai Ling?—if he stays. This change neatly dodges the old patriarchal canard that women are "responsible" for mankind's fall from grace and puts everything that follows in a different context.
» Cain kills Abel while he is already fighting with Adam. Abel's death is spur-of-the-moment rather than a cold-hearted act of jealousy.
» Noah's three sons were married at the time of the flood, but in Caird's rewrite, one of them is a bachelor who is in love with a (fictional) family servant, Yonah, who is a descendant of Cain. The ugliest moment in the show is when Noah tells the young woman that the family "loves" her but is going to leave her behind to drown because of her ancestry.
Caird's problematic revisionism notwithstanding, Harwood and his talented cast make "Eden" colorful and thought-provoking without showing anything that might cause curious kids to ask their parents awkward questions on the way home.
Larry Paxton stars as Father (God, by another name) and reigns over the show with a superb voice and commanding presence. This is a warm and loving God who suffers when his children disappoint him, and who takes no joy in destroying his creations. However, when Father decides to make it rain there is no question that he means business.
Madison Eror (Yonah) stands out with her poignant solo, "Stranger to the Rain," as she faces death. Jose Ramon Rustia Ver (Japheth) joins her to make "In Whatever Time We Have" a powerful duet.
Robin Janse (Mama Noah) makes her ACT debut count when she leads the cast in a rocking gospel number, "Ain't It Good," as Noah and his family celebrate their survival and the renewal of life on Earth.
ACT veteran Philip Amer Kelley earns his time in the spotlight as the hissing snake who encourages Eve to satisfy her curiosity.
The costumes suggest a bazaar of Third World cultures. God's fashion designer is apparently Turkish or Arabian, young Adam and Eve wear what appear to be karate gis, and the singing "storytellers" have loose-fitting attire reminiscent of some contemporary Christian sects. Later scenes suggest admixtures of traditional Indian and African attire.
Imaginative animal costumes enliven two scenes with designs that would do "Lion King" or "On Dragonfly Wings" proud. Katherine L. Jones' choreography adds life and interest to several of the colorful crowd scenes.

All-Steinway School Dedication with Pridonoff Duo
Tuesday, October 20, 2015
Due to limited seating, this concert is invite only.
Ward Hall, 8 p.m.
Lipscomb University's School of Music will be honored for its All-Steinway School achievement by Steinway's Sally Coveleskie. Eugene and Elisabeth Pridonoff will perform a two-piano recital in celebration of the achievement.
Elizabeth and Eugene formed the Pridonoff Duo in 1982, making their formal debut with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra. The couple has performed numerous times throughout the United States in such venues as the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, the Shreveport Festival and the World Piano Pedagogy Conferences.
The Pridonoff's also teach at the Ichionkai School in Japan and regularly perform throughout Japan, China and Taiwan. In the summers, they teach at various European festivals including the Amalfi Festival in Italy, International Piano Week of Belguim and Elizabeth is on faculty at the Brevard Music Center.
School of Music formed, new contemporary music program added
Lipscomb University recently announced the formation of a school of music that will expand its existing classical music program to include contemporary music undergraduate programs. The reorganization will allow the school to tap into industry resources available in Nashville as well as provide skilled professionals to help fill job demand.
Lipscomb's school of music has traditionally offered undergraduate degrees in music, music education, composition, and performance (vocal, piano and instrumental). Now a contemporary music component, beginning this fall, will include academic programs in songwriting and music production.
"We have carefully examined our current school as well as the demand of the music marketplace here in Nashville and the industry across the country," said Mike Fernandez, dean of the College of Entertainment & the Arts that houses the new school of music. "A recent Chamber of Commerce study of Nashville's music industry shows that there is a real opportunity for budding independent, entrepreneurial musicians to learn their craft, to gain valuable experience and to pursue careers that will help fill the workplace demand for all facets of the music and entertainment industry."
The study, conducted in partnership with the Music City Music Council, found that the music industry helps create and sustain an estimated 56,000 jobs within the Nashville area, supports more than $3.2 billion of labor income annually and contributes $5.5 billion to the local economy for a total output of $9.7 billion within the Nashville metropolitan statistical area.
"It just makes sense to expand our degree offerings in the school of music. While there are many questions about the economics of the music industry, one thing we know is that it is not going away. By offering these degrees we are showing that we will continue to grow and change in the same way Nashville does," said Fernandez. "With this new approach to our school, we are making a statement to Nashville that we are serious about music and we are serious about training young minds that will artfully and faithfully contribute to the local economy and the general good".
The enhanced offering will increase opportunities for the university to collaborate with industry experts in the community.
"The name 'school of music' honors the quality of our music making, and is important to the music professionals we collaborate with, to the music community at-large and to the gifted students we hope to attract," said Sally Reid, director of Lipscomb's School of Music.
Industry experts say more music industry training and education are needed in Nashville.
"The timing for this kind of program at Lipscomb could not be better," said singer/songwriter Amy Grant, a six-time Grammy Award winner. "With no intention to reinvent the 'music business' wheel that MTSU and Belmont offer, Lipscomb is poised to develop a streamlined, vibrant creative arts and entertainment program that is flexible, is spiritually vibrant and that teaches students the importance of storytelling. Flexibility and innovation are key as is integrating the students into existing facilities to learn aspects of the creative arts. Nashville has endless resources. I hope we can do something at Lipscomb that has never been done before."
Producer and composer Charlie Peacock, Lipscomb artist-in-residence and senior A&R consultant at Downtown Music Publishing, agrees.
"The new Lipscomb University School of Music is right on time, especially when you consider the powerful combination of the present musical faithfulness of faculty and curriculum and the new emerging contemporary music program set for fall 2015," said Peacock. "The school of music offers a diverse and vocationally solid approach to music education, helping create the music of tomorrow in the hearts and minds of students today."
In addition to expanding its music program offerings, Lipscomb University has also developed partnerships with industry experts such as Peacock and others who serve as advisors and artists-in-residence for the program as well as a relationship with the Gospel Music Association, which has held its annual Dove Awards program on the Lipscomb campus the past two years with plans to continue that arrangement for at least the next two years. Earlier this month, the school became one of only 172 institutions around the world to receive the All-Steinway School designation after it purchased 16 Steinway pianos, to go along with the six already owned, to use Steinway instruments exclusively in the school.
The Lipscomb University School of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music. The School of Music is also the first in the nation to require music majors to sit for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music exams. Along with its academic offerings, a number of private lessons and ensemble opportunities are open to students including the A Cappella Singers, University Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Vocal Jazz Ensemble, Opera Workshop, New Music Ensemble, String Ensemble and various chamber groups.

School of Music now part of College of Entertainment and the Arts
The Lipscomb University Board of Trustees has approved the formation of the new College of Entertainment and the Arts, bringing the number of colleges at the university to nine.
Building on the university's strong liberal arts foundation, the College of Entertainment and the Arts will combine the university's exceptional art, music and theatre departments with its fashion merchandising program and its graduate film and creative media program. It will then add exciting new programs to prepare students for careers in contemporary music, digital entertainment, film, design, gaming and animation. The result will be a cutting-edge arts training ground with four major departments (music, visual arts, theatre, cinematic arts) and five new undergraduate programs planned in contemporary music, interactive media, film, fashion and design and dance. The college will also bring on board experts in the industry as artists-in-residence to shape its future. The college is an integration of several disciplines formerly in the College of Arts and Sciences
"Our arts programs have grown in recent years to become an even more vital part of the Lipscomb community," said Lipscomb University Provost W. Craig Bledsoe. "By bringing these programs together into a college that focuses on these academic disciplines, it creates a synergy and provides more opportunities to collaborate than ever before. Several degrees in the college are one-of-a-kind in the region. The direction in which these programs are developing will help prepare our students especially for digitally oriented arts and entertainment careers that are growing in demand."
Mike Fernandez, associate professor of theatre and chair of the department of theatre, has been appointed dean of the College of Entertainment and the Arts. Chair of the department since his arrival in 2008, Fernandez has expanded the scope of the university's productions, grown the number of theatre students and faculty, added new formats such as dinner theater productions and outdoor performances and has worked to strengthen Lipscomb's connections to local theater artists and companies. He also added a highly successful graduate film and creative media program, which has already partnered with local companies to produce two feature films, with plans this fall to work on two more.
"The blending of these disciplines into one college will foster a natural collaboration between classical and contemporary art forms," said Fernandez, who was named outstanding director in 2012 by BroadwayWorld.com for his direction of "Doubt." "We will bring in contemporary artists like award-winning music producer Charlie Peacock and critically acclaimed Disney animator Tom Bancroft to help create exciting programs and events to build on the strong foundation of each of our current disciplines. We will create a place where we all dream together about the role a Christian university should have in shaping culture through arts and entertainment."
The new entity was named the College of Entertainment and the Arts based on recent research conducted in partnership with the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. Fernandez said this college is poised to make an impact not only on its students but the Nashville community as well.
"There isn't a university as primed and ready to move to this more than Lipscomb," said Fernandez. "Not only do we have a strong foundation to build on, but we are located in Nashville, which, along with its reputation as Music City, is quickly becoming a hub for film, theater and interactive arts. We are actively aligning ourselves with Nashville's vision for art and entertainment by making connections in the community through professional film, theatre and music companies. That not only helps our program contribute in significant ways to preparing skilled and knowledgeable professionals to enter these fields, it also gives our students many hands-on opportunities to learn from experts in our community."
The college has advisory boards for the film program and a new commercial music emphasis that includes some of the industry's top talent such as singer-songwriter Amy Grant, Nate Owens and Nathan Chapman, producer for entertainer Taylor Swift, among others. In addition, Town Square Pictures serves as the college's company-in-residence, filmmaker, producer, recording artist Steve Taylor serves as the filmmaker-in-residence, and Blackbird Theater serves as the college's theater-troupe-in-residence.
"Nashville has built its reputation over the years as a city that values collaboration, and it's now one of the world's preeminent destinations for entertainment and the arts," said Taylor. "The time is right and ripe for Lipscomb University to build a collaborative institution that brings entertainment and the arts together under one roof to train world-class, world-shaping artist entrepreneurs."
"Lipscomb's commitment to excellence and a big picture view in a rapidly changing media landscape guarantees the most important quality for a program like this—relevance," said Howie Klausner, screenwriter, producer and partner in Town Square Pictures. "Stay tuned, there's some exciting stuff happening over here."
Lipscomb typically offered more traditional arts programs in the past. Fernandez said those programs are still significant pillars of the college, but "we are broadening our horizons."
"Our research tells us that there is a need for additional programs that would focus on areas such as commercial music and interactive media such as gaming, animation and mobile app development as well as an undergraduate film program to build on our graduate film and creative media program," he said.
Fernandez said an initiative of the college will be an interactive media program that is an interdisciplinary program with the College of Computing and Technology and the College of Business. The new college is also planning to create a fashion and design program that will be a reengineering of its fashion merchandising program. It will include an emphasis in custom design areas like art decoration for TV and film, set design for theatre and commercial entertainment design for theme parks and industrial events. Fernandez said he plans to grow the number of students majoring in these subjects as well as enhance the facilities including a proposed state-of-the-art performing arts facility within five years.
"Artists are constantly reinventing themselves," said Fernandez. "Lipscomb is reinventing itself so that it can move quickly into this arena and marketplace. Our vision really appeals to our students, industry leaders and the community. At the end of the day, we want to train students to be good storytellers, whether it be through music, visual arts, interactive arts, theater or other creative outlets. They can have an impact and leave a legacy that will benefit those who come after them in our university and in our community."
One of 171 All-Steinway Schools in the world
In April 2015, Lipscomb University achieved the internationally respected "All-Steinway" status and now provides its students with all Steinway pianos for lessons, practicing and performing, accelerating the students to a higher level of musicianship that these superb instruments provide and demand.
The All-Steinway School designation is awarded by Steinway & Sons to universities, conservatories and other schools of distinction. Lipscomb University joined more than 170 institutions around the world who have earned this designation as of 2015. The school worked for eight years, phasing out non-Steinway pianos and raising funds, to achieve the designation.
A 2013 Steinway & Sons study showed that music educators believe that an All-Steinway designation reflects a higher degree of quality in music education at the partnering institutions.
2007 — Jerome Reed, Patricia and Rodes Hart Professor of Piano, led a trip to New York City to select a nine-foot Steinway concert grand piano for Ward Hall, which had just undergone a major renovation.
Oct. 2007 — Lipscomb's first Steinway was dedicated at a concert featuring pianist Frederic Chiu.
2010 — Lipscomb added a second nine-foot Steinway concert grand as part of the renovation of Collins Alumni Auditorium.
Dec, 2011 — A third Steinway grand was purchased for piano majors to use as a practice instrument.
April 2015 — The Lipscomb piano studio and several music faculty traveled to the Steinway factory in New York City to hand select two of the pianos that were part of the final group of pianos purchased.
April 2015 — 16 Steinway pianos were delivered to Lipscomb's School of Music, completing the requirements for the All-Steinway designation.

The I-5 highway stretches from the Canadian border all the way to Mexico, and governors in Washington, Oregon and California are hoping to make the border-to-border byway a Green Highway.
The highway would include a series of alternative fueling stations throughout the entire length of the highway to give motorists the change to charge, or swap out, their electric-vehicle batteries or fill their tanks with biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen or compressed natural gas.
Planning for public support and coordination is in the works with plans that could begin to take formation in Washington as early as this summer. The three states' transportation departments have also been discussing ways to bring the green highway to life.
Of the plans discussed biodiesel continues to be the only real alternative fuel option for heavy transportation. And as NBB CEO Joe Jobe says, "It is the heavy duty trucks that move the freight, and the freight that moves the economy."
According to Washington planners, the green highway marks the first time states have collaborated to ensure alternative fuel infrastructure is consistently available along a travel route.

A message from Saffia Farr, editor of Juno
I (Suzy Miller) have had the incredible benefit of experiencing this technique thanks to Julia Armstrong, Pioneering coach, mentor, therapist – and international athlete.
When you're feeling a bit low and food doesn't interest you, it is really beneficial to get some key nutrients in your diet to increase your energy and boost your mood. Amy from The Young Parents Project gives us her run down on what those nutrients are, plus some quick and easy recipes.
Beginning the grieving process
For many children their first real experience with loss happens when a pet dies. When a well loved pet dies, children need consolation, love, support and affection more than complicated medical explanations. They need to have their feelings understood and validated. Their reactions will depend on their age and stage of maturity but it isn't until the age of 9 years that children fully understand that death is permanent and final.
There are many ways you can tell your child that a pet has died from using a soothing voice or finding a comfortable and familiar place to tell them but the most important thing is to be honest. Trying to protect them with vague and inaccurate explanations can create more anxiety, confusion and mistrust.
Children often have questions like: Why did my pet die? Is it my fault? Where does my pet's body go to? Will I ever see my pet again? If I wish hard enough and am really good can I make my pet come back? Does death last forever?
It is important to answer such questions simply, but honestly. Your child may experience sadness, anger, fear, denial, and guilt when their pet dies or they may suddenly become jealous of friends who have pets. Let your child know it's perfectly normal to miss their pet after they die and encourage them to come to you with questions or for reassurance and comfort whenever they feel sad or overwhelmed.
Mourning pets
There is no best way for children to mourn their pets. They need to be given time to remember their pet and it helps to talk about the animal with friends and family or even at school. Mourning a pet has to be done in a child's own way.
After a pet has died, your child may want to bury the pet, make a memorial, or have a ceremony. Other children may write poems and stories, or make drawings of the pet. Ask your child the way they would like to express themselves and let the situation be guided by them.
Also the death of a pet may cause a child to remember other painful losses, or upsetting events or to experience bad dreams so keep listening, supporting and allowing the grieving process to take its own time - grief is not linear and can't always be fixed like a broken arm in a certain time and there's no right or wrong way to grieve and there's no telling how long it may take. Everyone is different.
I remember a time when I was teaching a Circle Time lesson on healthy eating when something came up about the death of one of the children's hamsters which naturally led onto talking about the death of one of the children's grandparents. It was a really moving but healing lesson which caught me by surprise but because I felt very comfortable talking about these issues the children all joined in and supported each other and learnt that healing from grief can be painful and slow but something we all experience. By letting the boy talk openly and by acknowledging the grief we all learnt a great deal.
Some useful books for children are "Weep not for me" by C. Jenkins "Goodbye Mog" by J.Kerr "Fred" by P. Simmons

Treasuring memories
When my dad died five years ago, someone gave me great advice. They said, "How you handle death and grief is providing a blueprint for how your children handle death and grief in their own emotional lives." As a parent, I know that I'm a real-life role model for my children, but I hadn't considered this regarding grief and bereavement until it was pointed out to me.
Children are sensitive, intelligent people who need to be listened to and asked how they feel about the loss of one of their grandparents. They have their own personal, unique relationship with them and need to be allowed to express their grief.
Anger is often a common reaction to grief, and because grieving is a process for you, as well as for your child, it is not linear. It can suddenly overwhelm you, or your child, at any time. A record, a photograph, an everyday memory or a family occasion can trigger it. Talking and crying together helps heal the grief. It unites you as a family as you come to terms with the loss and changes.
Don't be afraid to be completely natural in your grief. Don't hide it away from your children. It's a natural emotion. Sadness is part of life and by talking it through together your child can experience the healing process first hand.
Beginning the grieving process
When someone important dies, it is a distressing event and people react differently. Some may be shocked; some seem numb, while others get very upset and tearful. Coping with your own feelings can be especially difficult when you are trying to support your children too. You may be feeling shocked, sad, angry, guilty, anxious, relieved, lonely, orphaned, irritable or many other feelings all a mixture of the whole lot. It may be hard for you to do all the "normal" things you usually do and keep to the same routines as your whole perspective changes.
It helps to talk - to family, friends or neutral people who have experienced the same situation so that you off load your grief to the appropriate people - not your children. Parents often feel that the needs of their children come first but you also need to make time for yourself - because then you can come from a place of stability for your kids.
It's perfectly natural to cry in front of your children - if you explain what you are feeling. I remember hearing some music many months after my Dad died as I was driving and it just triggered me off, my 12 year old son comforted me and by allowing him in, it helped us both remember "Grandeboy" with great love and affection and we dried our eyes and carried on home.
There is no such thing as a perfect parent so just be a real one.
What children going through loss need:
Dealing with the emotional waves
I remember arriving at school one Monday morning to see a little boy of 8 years old sitting crying at his desk as his Dad had just passed away the night before from a sudden brain haemorrhage. His Mum just did what she thought was right to keep things "normal" but obviously he was in shock and couldn't cope so I just took him outside and we went for a gentle walk and I chatted about his Dad and the way he was feeling and we started to talk about the great things he had done with his Dad and he started to laugh about funny things he had said or had done.
Then we talked about the grief as a wave that would sometimes sweep over him and the rest of his family over the next months and how things would always trigger the great sadness from time to time but that it was perfectly normal to feel these waves and that it was always a good idea to come and find someone to talk to and to share these feelings with so he didn't have to feel alone.
We talked about life never being quite the same again and how change can be painful but how it does heal - when each of us feels ready. It was a great honour to spend time with this little boy as he was going through such a difficult time - there was no "rule" book to follow, we didn't even have a "bereavement policy" in place until after that day and I just made it up as I went along but I know we helped each other through just listening and being together.
Parents often try to protect their children by not talking about illness or death. Of course this is really understandable because not everyone is comfortable about talking about their emotions or knows what to say.
When my Mum was very ill with emphysema and was rushed to hospital many times it took a toll on me emotionally for over a year, and as an only child myself my kids often found me tired, overwhelmed and tearful but we all sat down one day and I chatted openly how difficult Nanny was and how difficult it all was juggling full time working and caring for her and I was just honest, clear, and direct. The kids felt included in the process and they understood the situation so they were better able to cope themselves.
The importance of rituals
A funeral is a special family occasion, which marks the end of someone's life and gives children an opportunity to be involved with the rituals and to celebrate the life of someone. They need to be prepared in advance so that they know what to expect and to choose whether they want to attend or not.
I remember hearing a story about a child who wasn't allowed to attend her Mum's funeral but saw it go by outside her school through the railings - of course the adults involved made that choice from the highest of intentions but the child felt isolated and distanced from the grieving event. So simply talk to your child and find out what they would prefer.
There's no evidence to show that children who go to funerals are harmed; in fact, the opposite is true. If they choose not to go, a trusted adult should be with them while the funeral takes place to support them.
There are many wonderful resources available to support you through this difficult time in your life but resources are only a tool that can be used to help - there is no handbook be guided by your intuition, be flexible and seek professional help from your Doctor or other professional bodies if you feel the process is too overwhelming and you need support.
How bereavement affects children
Children handle death and loss in a number of different ways but also it's helpful to understand that children of differing ages react in a number of different ways to the death of someone close and not always as an adult might react or behave.
Children's understanding of death comes gradually.
Here is some information about children's understanding of death:
Under five years:
From five to eight years:
From around nine years onwards:
So from about nine years, most children will have an adult view of death, although this will depend on their development and maturity and their past experiences of death.
The best way of understanding what children think and feel about death is to listen carefully and to talk gently with them and be guided by them.
How children grieve.
Babies and toddlers. Babies and toddlers may not understand about death but will react to those around them. For example, a grieving mother will naturally convey her sad feelings to her baby, who in turn may respond by constantly crying.
Primary school children. Older children may experience similar feelings to adults, such as shock, confusion, anger and guilt. Children of this age may not show their feelings openly, so you may think that they aren't affected by the death but any altered behaviour may indicate that they too are suffering and need support and acknowledgement of their pain from you. Common behaviour changes include becoming withdrawn, bed-wetting, lack of concentration, clinging, bullying, telling lies and being aggressive, all of which may indicate their upset state. So be patient, be loving and be supportive in the way you allow your child to handle their emotions during this transition.
Teenagers. Teenagers' grief reactions are often very similar to adults but negative feelings, fears and anxieties may lead to violence and aggression.
Mood swings and periods of depression are also very common but it may be difficult to separate them from normal adolescent behaviour but increased tension and fighting within your family may become more common and like adults, teenagers may suffer from headaches, sleep difficulties and eating disturbances around this time of change too.
The following are comments expressed by bereaved children of all ages, demonstrating clearly some of the feelings they may experience:
