Advocates travel to capitol to lobby for arts funding Winter Park Chamber representatives and arts advocates recently traveled to Tallahassee to lobby for arts funding.

ERIC GUTIERREZ STAFF WRITER

After school safety became a top priority in the Florida Legislature last year, state funding for the arts took a dive to fund school safety measures. With arts funding at a low point, a group of local arts advocates are hoping to restore some of that funding back to what it was. “(The arts are) part of the DNA of Winter Park,” said Betsy Gardner Eckbert, president and CEO of the Winter Park Chamber of

Commerce. “It’s just part of who we are. We’ve had these significant collections gifted to us, and it’s part of our DNA. … We know this is what matters for our residents, we know it’s what matters for our school children, we know it matters for our seniors and we know it matters for our guests.”

Gardner Eckbert was one of the Chamber of Commerce representatives who joined with advocates of the Winter Park art scene on a trip to Tallahassee on Wednesday, SEE LOCAL PAGE 4

New pizzeria offers classic take on Italian pies The recently opened MidiCi — The Neapolitan Pizza Company is bringing its authentic take on pizza to Maitland families.

TIM FREED ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Looking for a taste of Italy right in Maitland? A new restaurant in the Maitland City Centre has just the right traditional twist.

MidiCi — The Neapolitan Pizza Company recently opened its doors in the new Maitland development in January and is serving up pizza the way it was made 300 years ago.

Visitors can tell they are in for something rustic and authentic as soon as they step inside MidiCi. A live olive tree grows from the ground in the center of the restaurant, which is designed to mimic an outdoor Italian courtyard.

Even the pizza oven is imported from Naples, Italy and handbuilt by a third-generation Italian family.

It’s an eatery run by co-owners Joe and Melissa Roberts, who hope to become the go-to stop for an authentic pizza experience.

“We follow the same kind of standards of a true, authentic Neapolitan pizza,” Joe Robertssaid. “We just keep it simple. Our oven would make it unique. …

The only source of fuel is a woodburning fuel, so there’s no gas. …

It kind of brings people back to going to Italy.”

The Maitland restaurant marks one of the latest locations by the company that opened its first location in 2015 in Los Angeles.

Today, MidiCi has more than 40 locations across the country.

Joe Roberts said it didn’t take much convincing to want to open a pizza eatery in Maitland.

“We wanted to be part of (developer Allen Morris) and the city of Maitland’s vision of Downtown Maitland (and the) Maitland City Centre,” he said. “In addition, Maitland is experiencing a lot of growth, both in the business and residential communities. We have a strong sense of community and look forward to supporting community events, schools (and) churches in Maitland.”

MidiCi offers an array of Neapolitan pizzas, woodfired calzones, salads, pasta dishes and desserts. When it comes to specialty

pizzas, The Devil’s — made with Italian tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, housemate spicy sausage, spicy Italian Salami and red chiles — and the Double Pepperoni are best sellers, Joe Roberts said.

Melissa Roberts said part of what truly sets Neapolitan pizza apart is that it’s a much healthier option than what you’ll find at fast-food pizza joints.

“My favorite (pizza) is the Truffle & Vegetable — it has a lot of different ingredients in it,” she said. “It has mushrooms in it, it has black olives, and it has tomatoes, and it has drops of ricotta, as well as mozzarella. They put it in

the oven, and then after baking, they put arugula on top, so it’s like a fresh salad on top of this amazing pizza. Of course, our dough is vegan, and it’s very clean. We have gluten-free options, as well.”

When it comes to ordering pizzas, hungry patrons shouldn’t be afraid to create their own and diverge off the menu. Customers are welcome to take a classic pizza and add whatever they want to it, Joe Roberts said. It plays right into the restaurant’s name — MidiCi translates to “you tell me.”

Joe Roberts also stressed that although the restaurant sports an upscale feel and atmosphere, it’s a

place where the whole family can come and grab a bite to eat.

“So far, it feels like we’ve been well-received,” Joe said. “It’s really amazing the amount of families that we get during dinner time. We love that, because we want to be family-friendly.”

Winter Park residents form land trust to preserve city’s parks, green space “There are a lot of things that are difficult for a government to do, that a land trust can help with,” he said. “One aspect of the land trust is to help raise funds to acquire parklands. ... They can also hold easements. So, let’s say you had a piece of property in your will you wanted to leave to the city for parkland or for some reason. Well, a lot of people don’t want to do that because they don’t know if, somewhere down the line, the government’s leaders, which changes every election, may decide to (do) something else with the land. And your only protection is to have a trustee look after that. But 10 or 20 years after you’re gone, you really don’t know what might happen. ... So the land trust can hold that easement, and land trusts are very long-lived, so the trust can protect properties like that in perpetuity.”

According to the Winter Park

The nonprofit aims to expand and protect green space within the city and surrounding communities.

GABBY BAQUERO NEWS EDITOR

“Keeping the ‘Park’ in Winter Park” is the primary goal for a recently created nonprofit organization known as the Winter Park Land Trust.

The land trust is led by a board of trustees comprised of entrepreneurs, nonprofit professionals, legal and environmental experts, scientists, naturalists and local elected officials, including Winter Park Commissioner Carolyn Cooper, and former commissioners, Phil Anderson, Pamela Peters, and former Winter Park Mayor David Strong.

The organization – which evolved from a suggestion by the land trust’s board chairman, Steve Goldman – intends to help promote the use of lands for the creation, expansion and improvement of urban parks and green space within and adjacent to Winter Park.

Goldman said the idea to form a land trust came after his involvement in a committee created by the city of Winter Park tasked with gathering input from Winter Park residents regarding what

the city needed more of and what they hoped to see 10 or 20 years down the line.

“One of the things we heard most often was that people were concerned we might be losing that ‘park’ feeling that’s always made Winter Park so unique, which is the reason a lot of people move there,” Goldman said.

“And it’s true. My family moved to Winter Park in 1956 and, back then, it seemed like there was nothing but park space. We used to go out to Genius Drive to feed the peacocks. Everyone used to do that on a Sunday.

“And we never thought about the fact that it wasn’t really a public park; it was private property.

And now it’s Windsong – a very upscale housing development.

And a lot of that kind of land has just evaporated. We’re not in bad shape, but there’s more and more development, and as the density increases, it needs to be counterbalanced by an increase in green space and urban parkland. So there was a realization that we needed to start becoming more proactive in helping that happen.”

Goldman said the land trust can provide residents the means to get

Land Trust, there are more than 1,200 land trusts in the country.

Goldman added that the Winter Park Land Trust is first of its type in the greater Orlando area.

“Florida has very few land trusts,” he said. “And I think part of the why is because of our history. When I moved here, no one really ever thought about land trusts because it wasn’t really an issue. There seemed to be land everywhere. But more and more people now are starting to realize that we do need to look at and pay more attention to urban parks if we want to keep the ‘park’ in Winter Park, which is what our motto is. Most states, like New Hampshire, have many more land trusts than the whole state of Florida. And it’s a tiny little state, so we’re a little bit behind the curve when it comes to land trusts … but that is changing.”

Gabby Baquero

Steve Goldman, the organization’s board chairman, announced the creation of the nonprofit at a public kick-off event Feb. 28.

more involved in the longterm process of improving and planning urban parks within the city.

The trust also will be instrumental in raising funds to help acquire and preserve potential parklands, he added.

Local leaders respond to statewide art funding cuts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

March 13 to lobby state legislators for arts funding. The goal of the trip was to make Central Florida legislators aware of a need to restore funding for matchinggrant programs under the state’s Division of Cultural Affairs.

“Last year, the state government raided the Division of Cultural Affairs budget,” Gardner Eckbert said. “It has, historically, been funded almost as much as $43 million in 2014-15 down to — last year — $2.6 million, and that’s for the entire state of Florida.”

Last year, the state allocated Orange County about $229,000 in grant funding for the arts and cultural experiences. During fiscal year 2015-16, Orange County received $3.5 million. That number dropped to $1.8 million the following fiscal year and then to $1.7 the year after. The drop in funding has dropped the state toward the bottom of the list when it comes to cultural investments by state, Gardner Eckbert said.

“This, essentially, hurts the legislature itself,” she said. “In 2014-15, Florida was 10th in the nation for cultural investments, and we’ve dropped down to 48th (last year); almost last.”

The impact of the decrease in arts funding not only takes a toll on the arts community; It also impacts the tourism industry. A study conducted by the nonprofit Americans for the Arts shows that for every $1 granted to the arts by

Arts advocates met with a number of Central Florida Legislators, including District 47 Rep. Anna Eskamani.

the state yields a return of $9.

“A dollar funded to the arts returns $9 to state and local government treasuries through the form of taxes and economic development opportunities,” Gardner Eckbert said. “So many of our guests who come to Central Florida come here with the idea of experiencing some cultural experience — whether it be something at the Dr. Phillips Center, something related to Winter Park or throughout the region.”

“When that $1 (of state funding) gets deployed, it creates an opportunity where people buy tickets that are taxable, they buy dinner that’s taxable,” Gardner Eckbert continued. “They might buy a hotel room to be here for that (cultural) experience that’s

taxable, so there’s a huge basket of economic opportunity that contains these experiences. When we zero-fund (the arts) or underfund them, we shrink the inventory of those opportunities and further shrink the economic impact of those opportunities.”

Gardner Eckbert added that the roughly 4000 arts-related businesses in Orange County employ more than 30,000 people. She said the cuts to arts funding also has an impact of arts-related jobs locally and throughout the state.

“When these budgets get slashed, how many jobs are lost as well?” Gardner Eckbert said.

“That’s a further devastating consequence we’re not interested in creating. … This is short-sighted economic policy that can only hurt

legislative treasuries” Those who participated in the trip representative different arts and professional organizations.

Among the 10 individuals who traveled to Tallahassee to lobby for arts funding are Debbie Magruder, CFO of Full Sail University; John Casebier, a member of the Orlando Philharmonic Board of Directors and Senior Vice President of Seacoast Bank; Deborah Komanski, Executive Director of the Albin Polasek Museum of Sculpture Gardens; and Paul Twyford, a member of the Winter Park History Museum Board of Directors and president/co-founder of Winter Park Distilling Company; as well as others.

“We had accountants with us, we had lawyers with us, we had people who are typically aligned with the business community who happen to be the people that sit on arts boards across our region,” Gardner Eckbert said. “They really care about this and they also know that they can’t attract the kind of talent they want to attract regionally — or even nationally — if we don’t have a sophisticated and robust arts presence.”

Group members met with legislative aides for District 21 Rep. Jennifer Mae Sullivan, District 45 Rep. Kamia Brown, District 50 Rep. Rene “Coach” Plascencia, District 11 Sen. Randolph Bracy and District 15 Sen. Victor Torres. They also met directly with District 13 Sen. Linda Stewart, District 47 Rep. Anna Eskamani and Roger “Beau” Beaubien, who is the Director of Cabinet Affairs and Deputy Chief of Staff for the Executive Office of the Governor.

The legacy of Fred Rogers from the famous television series “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” continues on with a special collection of items at five locations throughout the campus.

The Rollins College Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Tour will run through the end of March, in recognition of Rogers’ birthday on March 20.

Visitors that walk the tour will have a chance to stroll the campus that Rogers walked as a student before he graduated from Rollins College in 1951 with a degree in music composition.

The tour was offered in February of last year on campus for the first time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” an educational program for children recognized for its music, gentle nature and thoughtful topics. The show — created and run

by Rogers — was watched and enjoyed by children over several generations.

A WALK THROUGH TIME The first items visitors will see on the tour is one of Rogers’ sweaters and a pair of his shoes on display at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum — gifts donated by Rogers when he visited his old campus in March 1991.

“At that time he gave the sweater to Rita Bornstein, who was the president then,” Rollins College Communications Manager Jo Marie Hebeler said.

“I hope that (visitors) see that Rollins inspired Mister Rogers, and that Mister Rogers continues to inspire Rollins. He’s part of us and we’re part of him.”

Other stops on the tour include a portrait of Fred Rogers painted by local artist Don Sondag at Tiedtke Concert Hall, an engraved stone placed in his honor during that March 1991 visit amidst other honorees in front of Lyman Hall — his old dormitory, and a rare collection of books, handwritten letters, his yearbook from 1951 and various photographs inside the Olin Library.

Items like Roger’s sweater, his shoes, and various old photographs and newspaper clippings would normally be sealed away in the Rollins College archives, only available to see by appointment, Hebeler said. But through the rest of the month, the items will be on display for all to see as part of the tour.

The self-guided walking tour ends with a final stop at a marble plaque by Strong Hall that reads “Life is for Service.” The words had a profound impact on Rogers as a college student, and he would go on to carry the words in his wallet for the rest of his life.

“There was a story going around that Mister Rogers inspired this plaque, and that we put it up because he said ‘Life is for Service,’ but it was the other way around — this plaque inspired him,” Hebeler said.

A LASTING LEGACY Rogers first started attending Rollins to study music after he transferred from Dartmouth College, which didn’t have a music program at the time, Hebeler said. At Rollins he met his wife, fellow music student Sara Joanne Byrd, and served on the chapel staff and as a member of the community service club, the student music guild, the

Items gifted by Fred Rogers and various pieces of memorabilia are on display on a special walking tour at Rollins College.

French club, the welcoming Committee, the after chapel club, and the Alpha Phi Lambda fraternity.

Rogers sang in the chapel and Bach choirs as well, and frequently visited Rollins College over the years after graduating and spent winter vacations in Winter Park.

A deep connection between Rogers and Rollins College still exists today. In 1996, the McFeelyRogers Foundation established a music scholarship at Rollins College for aspiring musicians.

His nephew, Daniel Crozier, also currently teaches at Rollins as a music professor.

The college and Rogers also both share a strong emphasis on community engagement, Office of the President Executive Director Lorrie Kyle said.

“I look at our alumni … I’ve talked with some of them and asked them what they’ve done since graduation, they start to talk about it and they don’t even realize until they start talking about it all of the really wonderful things that they have done in supporting their communities and their neighbors,” Kyle said.

“I think that sense of neighborhood and a connected community was something (Rogers) put into words for us.”

Rollins College President Grant Cornwell said that Fred Rogers will always have a special place in the history of the college.

“What is so impressive about the campus legacy and the campus memory of Mister Rogers is that all of the kindness and generosity that he conveys in his persona is just absolutely genuine,” Cornwell said.

“I never got to know him because I wasn’t here then, but everybody says that he just was that kind, he was that generous. Whenever you left him, you just felt lighter — you felt better about the day.”

SLEEP ON THE VERY BEST!

Runners are set to hit the ground running this weekend for the 42nd annual ZKS Winter Park Road Race.

BLACK TIE EDITOR

Runners, grab your favorite athletic shoes and claim your spot near the starting line — it’s time for the 42nd Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe Winter Park Road Race.

Presented by AdventHealth, the annual ZKS race is set to take place Saturday, March 23, in downtown Winter Park. In this race, you won’t only be running to try to best your personal record — you’ll also be running to raise money for student scholarships.

The ZKS race was founded by the Meridian Club of Winter Park to raise money for its scholarship program. It has served Winter Park and the surrounding region since 1977 and is notorious for awarding college scholarships annually to local, graduating high-school seniors.

IF YOU GO

42ND ZKS WINTER PARK ROAD RACE WHEN: 7 a.m. (two-mile race), 7:30 a.m.

(10K) and 9:15 a.m. (Kid’s Fun Run) Saturday, March 23 WHERE: downtown Winter Park (starts and finishes on Park Avenue) REGISTRATION: At press time, the 2-mile race was sold out and the Distance Dare was 98% full; the 10K race was 84% full.

For more information on the race or to register pending availability, visit trackshack. com/event/103.

According to race host Track Shack Events, the Meridian Club has given more than $300,000 to more than 100 local high-school students over the years.

Winter Park High alumna and 2014 scholarship recipient Marina Bruck, for example, used her scholarship to attend the University of Florida, from which she graduated cum laude.

She is now pursuing her master’s of public health in epidemiology at Emory University.

Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe is one of the largest law firms in Central Florida and assists corporate clients with all aspects of business. One part of its mission, said ZKS Shareholder Pam Foels, is to serve the community with time, talent and resources. That is why ZKS pledged to provide at least 3,500 hours of community service this year to various Central Florida causes.

“This pledge underscores the ZKS belief that we have a responsibility as members of our community to contribute in a positive way, a belief instilled in the culture of the firm by its founding partners 35 years ago,” Foels said.

The race consists of both a 2-mile and a 10K race, which begin at 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., respectively. Participants are given the option to run both races and complete the Distance Dare. For children, AdventHealth is hosting a free Kids’ Run starting at 9:15 a.m.

Strength training at any age can help improve muscle mass and bone density of retirement a few years ago to join Elite because, he said, he saw the value in what they offered their clients.

“The equipment here is top of the line and the techniques produce results like no other,” Rinehart said.

At Elite, education is as important as the equipment. Before clients spend anytime working out, they share their medical history, goals and concerns with trainers who develop a plan that covers time inside and outside of the gym.

“Clients’ needs are evaluated and we give them a detailed analysis of what they need to do, especially at home, to accomplish their goals,” said owner Monte Mitchell.

Homework might include keeping food and exercise journals to learn more about their habits, especially if weight loss is a goal.

The gym also offers a 12-week group nutrition workshop to their members, guaranteeing results for their clients, provided they follow all the recommendations made during their consultation.

70-year-old physician Dr. Maria Bors has been a client of Elite for seven years and finds that training there fits quite nicely into her busy lifestyle.

“The 20-minute workouts are easy for me to fit in and I find them easy to commit to,” Bors said.

Rather than working out with sweaty, bulked-up gym rats, Elite’s clients find an almost Zen-like atmosphere, with trainers attentive to their every motion.

Speaking in tones of calm assurance, trainers offer equal parts encouragement and challenge, pushing clients to new levels.

The workouts are physically demanding, but not in the way one might expect.

Motions are slow and intensely controlled, demanding maximum effort from muscles while barely breaking a sweat.

“Many clients don’t even change out of office clothes,” Rinehart said. “They simply don’t need to.”

Before beginning with Elite, Bors suffered from daily back pain, but after just a few months in the gym, she experienced a noticeable change in pain levels and now rarely suffers at all.

“It’s been remarkable for me,” she said. “I can feel how strong I am, especially when I am traveling carrying luggage. I have a strength I never had before.”

“The strength training is very good for preventing bone loss,” said Bors, “which is something we all need as we age.”

Allison Olcsvay Three years ago, the client was facing the same prognosis that she has watched her mother suffer with for de-cades. The progressive osteopenia would someday develop into osteoporosis, bringing on devastating broken bones and pain.

“My mother is 93 now, and I’ve watched her suffer so much; I just don’t want that to happen to me,” she said.

Medication to strengthen her bones never produced significant results, and after years of taking them, she decided to try a new course of action.

Following the recommendation of a friend she signed on with Elite Strength and Fitness of Winter Park and began following a twice-weekly strengthtraining regimen designed to increase her muscle mass and bone density.

At her next DEXA scan to measure density, the client's doctor noticed a big change and she was able to stop taking her medication.

Success stories like hers don’t come easy though; it took months of intense workouts with the guidance of personal trainers to get there.

At 64, Les Rinehart, one of Elite’s train-ers, knows the challenges his clients face.

After 33 years in the fitness industry, the former strength coach for the Charlotte Hornets retired in 2007, only to come out

Singin’ at the Playhouse The Winter Park Playhouse’s “What A Glorious Feeling! The Story of Singin’ in the Rain” runs through April 13.

HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

Everyone is familiar with the hit film “Singin’ In The Rain”. The rom-com musical about Hollywood filmmaking in the ‘20s has enterained and inspired audiences since its debut in 1952.

What people may be less familiar with is the behind-the-scenes tensions between directors Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen and their assistant Jeanne Coyne.

If you hear Winter Park Playhouse Artistic Director Roy Alan talk about it, the background antics between the three figures were just as entertaining, if not more so, than the movie itself.

“During the course of this time the three of them worked together, Stanley married Jeanne,” Alan said. “It was a hotly contested marriage; Coyne was always working with Gene Kelly 18 hours a day. (Stanley) got lonely and started running around with other girls and they got divorced.

They started rehearsals on this and (Kelly) brought them together three weeks after they divorced.

Gene always had a place in his heart for this girl, she’s always been his assistant and they could think his thoughts … there’s this whole love triangle going on while they’re trying to make this film that becomes one of the greatest movie musicals ever made.”

The Jay Berkow-written story is one the Winter Park Playhouse has been excited to finally tell. The Playhouse is present-

The “What A Glorious Feeling!” cast has been hard at work bringing the “Singin’ in the Rain” cast to life.

ing the “What A Glorious Feeling: The Story of Singin’ in the Rain” musical, which looks at the background rehearsals and drama during the hit movie’s filming, runs through April 13.

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

The Playhouse is well-equipped to putting on musicals with original storylines and characters. It’s not as often, however, that the Winter Park theater has its performers assuming the exact mannerisms of people from history.

What’s more are the music

CAST  Charles Logan as Gene Kelly  Adam Biner as Stanley Donen  Tay Anderson as Jeanne Coyne  Jennafer Newberry as Debbie Reynolds  Todd Allen Long as Arthur Freed

pieces themselves. The cast puts on movie-accurate renditions of “Moses Supposes,” “Good Mornin’” and more. Much of the dialogue in the show is from the movie’s rehearsals 70 years ago.

It’s an approach that’s proved to have it’s own set of challenges and rewards, according to Alan.

Jennafer Newberry, a Disney performer who grew up in Texas and received her training in New York, has been hoping to perform at the Playhouse for some time now. Newberry plays Debbie Reynolds, the inexperienced 19-year-old actress, in the production. She said it was an interesting experience to play the young woman who was also unfamiliar with tap dancing when she joined the movie.

“She was actually from a small town in Texas,” Newberry said.

“She was discovered because she did a beauty pageant and it’s

funny because I grew up in beauty pageants. Strikingly, there were a lot of similarities. I grew up taking tap but I would by no means start a conversation saying ‘I’m a tapper’ … I felt like I was being Debbie Reynolds.”

The show’s emphasis on tapdancing is something Alan and other staff are proud of. Alan and Tay Anderson, who plays Jeanne Coyne, watched the original film at half-speed to plot out the tap choreography.

“If you can imagine the (tap) choreography of Gene Kelly on stage right in front of you, it’s pretty amazing,” Alan said. “It ain’t easy tap. … it’s very satisfying; I’m very proud of this piece.

Making up your own choreography is easy compared to being exact with somebody’s else choreography. That’s painstaking work, and it paid off.”

MONDAY, MARCH 25

HANDBUILDING LIKE THE ANCIENTS 7 to 9 p.m. every Monday for eight weeks, starting on Monday, March 25, at the Crealdé School of Art Main Campus, 600 St. Andrews Blvd., Winter Park. Over 10,000 years ago, humans started using clay jugs, bowls, baskets, platters, teapots, jewelry, tablets, statues, tiles, buildings — these have all been born from clay, a legacy of civilization. Use traditional coil, pinch and slab techniques to continue that legacy, creating vessels that harken back to ancient times. An accomplished artist and experienced art educator, instructor Doug Bringle joined the faculty at Crealdé School of Art in 2001.

He is well-known for his ability to introduce students of any age to the wonders of clay, teaching adult and youth handbuilding classes.

Purchase clay at first class by cash or check — $20 (checks payable to Florida Clay Art). The class fee is $245. For more information and to enroll, visit bit.ly/2O802o6.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27

VIOLET BELL 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27, at Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts, 1905 Kentucky Ave., Winter Park.

Violet Bell’s original Americana is woven from threads of folk, soul, bluegrass, psychedelic and classical music. On stage and in the studio, the energy between Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez is fiery, intimate and intuitive. Based out

of Durham, the pair have played more than 300 shows in just over two years, resulting in a strong onstage chemistry that’s evident in person and in videos of these live performances. The two share a mutual love of rock, hip-hop and R&B that, through what Ross calls “mixing medicines,” finds its way into their traditionally rooted music. Tickets are $20. For more information, visit bluebambooartcenter.com.

FRIDAY, MARCH 29

THE NORDIC FIDDLERS BLOC 8 p.m. Friday, Mar 29, at the Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts, 1905 Kentucky Ave., Winter Park. The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc is a fiddle trio that blends the traditions of Norway, Sweden and the Shetland Islands. Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Norway), Anders Hall (Sweden) and Kevin Henderson (Shetland Islands), have swiftly gained a reputation for their gripping and unique blend of fiddle music since the inception of the Bloc in early 2009. They maintain a firm focus on the traditions of their home while developing a sound that has

been described as “meaningful,” ”intense” and “invigorating.” Their clever use of harmony, rhythm, riffs and bass lines creates a sound that leaves the listener enthralled but at the same time dumbfounded that the sound only comes from three fiddles. The year 2016 saw the release of their eagerly awaited second album, “Deliverance,” following their eponymous debut album released in September 2011 to great critical acclaim. Tickets are $25. For more information, visit bluebambooartcenter.com.

feel confident

Colorectal cancer is beatable if caught early. If you’re 45 or older, get screened.

What's the best feeling, ever? It's a tie: between the confidence that comes when you complete a necessary task, and the pride you feel when you know you're taking care of yourself. Colorectal cancer is the 2nd-leading cause of cancerrelated death in the U.S. But it's treatable and beatable if caught early during a colonoscopy. New guidelines set the screening age at 45.
