Public Invited to DIS Performance of 'Romeo & Juliet'
Submitted by editor on Wed, 05/07/2014 - 11:34am
Spend time talking with students in Michelle Crain’s drama class at Dayton Intermediate School and it’s not long before one realizes the recurring theme is “we’re family.”
As the students relentlessly rehearse ahead of their public performances of “Romeo & Juliet,” taking place Friday, May 16 and Saturday, May 17, the ties that bind while challenging at first, have been woven into a tapestry of unconditional acceptance, tolerance, care and dependability, qualities not always readily seen on a school campus.

Carson City artist's work featured as murals on the walls of new fitness center
Submitted by editor on Mon, 04/28/2014 - 5:33pm
There is a new Fitness 1440 center at the north end of Carson City in the old K-Mart shopping center. What made me notice this was that I heard that artist Coeleen Lundy had painted a mural in the children’s area of the fitness center.
I love seeing art being spread throughout our city, but what is especially novel about this particular work is that it was done in barter, a word we are all hearing and seeing more and more. Barter: To trade goods and services for, well, goods and services, no CASH need.
