All-ages summer art classes to begin

·

Sitting at his desk with a cup of coffee, Education Director Roger Meridith answered a phone call from a parent wishing to enroll her 6-year-old son Dillon in summer art classes at the John Waldron Arts Center. It’s not odd for Meridith to be hearing “Summer camp, line three” from his co-workers all day long.

Cinemat holds curious concert

·

Fried eggs, glow sticks and an accordion were just a few of the elements that made Monday evening’s “The Magic Theater, A Curious Rock Show” at the Bloomington Cinemat so peculiar.

MxPx to perform in Indianapolis

·

A night at a live punk show can be a little hard on the eardrums. But with a staple pop-punk powerhouse coming to Indianapolis, the tympanic membranes can take one for the team.

If you were ever 13, don’t read ‘Black Swan Green’

·

David Mitchell’s “Black Swan Green” follows the life of Jason Taylor, a 13-year-old growing up in Worcestershire, England. He fights with his older sister, writes angsty poetry and spends a good portion of his time thinking about sex. It is a stereotypical “coming of age” tale.

‘Victory garden’ movement grows

SCARBOROUGH, Maine – During World War II, the government urged Americans to plant “victory gardens,” backyard plots of fruits and vegetables that were supposed to ease reliance on the war-strained public food supply.

The Renaissance of Romance Novels

·

For me, the best way to spend a lazy summer day is to curl up on the patio with a glass of lemonade and a trashy romance novel. Work on my tan. Maybe sneak in a nap. I found the perfect book to go along with my perfect day, and if it seems like your sort of read, I highly recommend “The Birth of Venus” by Sarah Dunant.

Windfall Dance Company presents Arabian Nights

·

Veronica and Wilson Yeakle begged to dance when they saw the Windfall Dance Company take the stage to perform their interpretation of Arabian Nights on Saturday evening at the Owen Valley High School auditorium. Their mother, Angela Yeakle, said she took her children to the show to expose them to different cultures.

Ivanhoe’s a snooze, so read about some zoos

·

Unless you are absolutely starving for a book to save your sanity and it is the only one you can find, don’t read “Ivanhoe.” I would consider myself to be pretty high on the boredom scale, but I couldn’t even get through chapter three. The two main characters, who shall remain nameless because I can’t remember their consequence to the story, hadn’t even finished their leisurely stroll through the forest by the end of the third chapter.

Make the most of your summer downtime

·

I don’t know what you are doing this summer, but at some point, you will probably need to take a break from your break. You could be needing an escape from nagging family members, a release from your demanding summer course load or you may just need to unwind after a long day at work.
