One of the first things I noticed about Vince Gedgaudas’ sculptures was that they didn’t have faces. Not one of them.

Samir Husni, the academic world’s “Dr. Magazine,” who keeps track of this sort of thing, recently reported the birth of 715 magazines during the past year.
Well, now there are 716. Welcome, please, The Bathroom (”A Good Place to Read”), a new poetry magazine published by Racinian Nicholas Michael Ravnikar.

It was an evening of celebration.
On Friday evening, April 11, community leaders joined the Lakeside board and supporters of the Rhode to celebrate the grand opening of the new west auditorium. Already a winner, the new theater has been playing to full houses for the children’s shows. Music and laughter, food and beverage, pride and pleasure permeated the evening.
