A Michigan City couple walk into Elston Middle School Performing Arts Center on March 21 at 7:30 p.m., sit down, and laugh themselves silly for a really, really good cause.

Why?Because Chicagos legendary comedy theatre The Sec-

ond City will aim their blistering comedy at Michigan City that evening in a single performance to raise need-ed funds for The Young Peoples Theatre Company.

Why?Because The Young Peoples Theatre Company has

been mounting Broadway quality productions since they fi rst dazzled local audiences with a sparkling rendition of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 2004. Formed by Steve Gonzalez and Andrew Tallack-son to give La Porte County youth from 13 to 21 an op-portunity to excel in theatrical productions.

The newly minted theatre company sold out their per-formances of Joseph and went on to thrill their growing audi-ence with The Wiz and Scrooge the Mu-sical in 2005, Beau-ty and the Beast in 2006, Wizard of Oz in 2007, The Fan-tasticks in 2007 and 2008, and their celebrated reprise of Joseph and the Amazing Technicol-or Dreamcoat last summer.

Young Peoples Theatre has even bolder plans for this summer with their production in July. You know they attract the best to their auditions in April and produce a show in July worthy of any big-time Chicago theatre, and that is precisely why they have called on the most celebrated troupe from the Second City to provide the laughs for their fi rst-ever fund raiser.

Noting that the Elston Middle School Performing Arts Center seats 793, Young Peoples Tom Mong-tomery said in a recent interview: We hope to sell 800 tickets, and well fi nd seats for those extra sev-en people.

Montgomery hopes the fund raiser will not only fi ll the companys coffers, but offer young thespians an opportunity to network with the Second City folks.

That is certainly on the minds of the members of Second Citys Green Company cast who will be jour-neying to Michigan City to provide their distinctive brand of biting humor.

After learning that Michigan City is in Indiana not up in Michigan, cast member Lilly Allison said she and fellow Green Company cast members Abby McEnany, Brooke Bagnali, Seth Weitberg, Joey Bland, and Anthony LeBlanc are thrilled to be com-ing to Michigan City.

Ive never been there before, and frankly, I was surprised to learn it is in Indiana, not Michigan. I do know we are all inspired to be doing a benefi t for another theatre. Its great to have a live theatre as a cause. We are very supportive of live theatre.

Allison promised that the Michigan City audi-ence will get a little of everything. We have a show

that is always changing and incorporating current events. We will do the Best of Second City with some material written by alums like Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert. And then, after two acts, we will do a third act of straight improv.

Thats where you, the Michigan City couple come to have a good laugh to benefi t Young Peoples The-atre Company, come in.

Shout out your funny Michigan City situations. Get the whole town laughing at Second City and supporting Young Peoples Theatre.

Its a totally win-win evening of fun and laughter because it will keep the latter company in costumes, make-up, and all the rest for years to come.

And to ensure their bright future on behalf of the countys dramatically inclined youth, Young Peo-ples Theatre Company last summer entered into a partnership with the Michigan City Area Schools whereby students can receive academic credit for participating in Young Peoples productions. And the Schools are also helping to offset some of Young Peoples costs.

And well they should and well you should turn out on March 21 because Young Peoples Theatre already has bragging rights for such successful al-ums as Sarah Gorecki who went from her bravura performance here as Belle in Beauty and the Beast to seriously knocking on Hollywoods door in Cali-fornia. Likewise, Brandon Williams not only won Hoosier Star, but he made it to the second round in auditioning for American Idol. And Aaron Garrett is expressing his gratitude to the company for cast-ing him as the Beast in Sleeping Beauty and for providing him with the opportunity to direct The Fantasticks.

So whats not to like, and whats to keep you at home on Saturday, March 21 when Second Citys

single performance on behalf of Young Peoples Theatre will unfold in three acts and will feature the best sketches, songs, and improvisations from The Second Citys forty-fi ve plus year history. The famous troupe promises to aim their withering sights at local Michigan City issues, as well as re-cent national and international events.

Founded in Chicago in 1959, The Second City has

become the premier training ground for the comedy world for the comedy worlds best and brightest, including Tina Fey, Mike Myers, Steve Carell, Ste-phen Colbert and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Because no topic or subject matter is off limits for The Second City, their single performance is not recommended for pre-teens or anyone who is easily offended.

Tickets for The Second City performance in Michigan City on March 21 are $20 for adults and $10 for students with ID and can be obtained by calling: 219-873-2070. Elston Middle School Performing Arts Center is located at 1210 Spring Street near downtown Michigan City and has ample free parking and is handicapped accessible.

Encore Performance at Opera House The Memorial Opera House in Valparaiso pres-

ents two encore performances of Always...Patsy Cline Sat., March 21 @ 8 p.m. and Sun., March 22 @ 2 p.m.

AlwaysPatsy Cline is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. The show is based on a true story about Clines friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in l961, and contin-ued a correspondence with Cline until her death.

Mary Kay Steele (LaPorte) who portrayed the legendary country singer; Pasty Cline and Michele Gustin-Craig (Chesterton) who portrayed her fan, Louise Seger in last August performances at the Memorial Opera House are back again on stage for these Encore Performances.

The musical play, complete with down home country humor, true emotion and even some audi-ence participation, includes many of Patsy unfor-gettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Waking After Midnight...27 songs in all. The shows title was inspired by Clines letters to Seger, which were consistently signed Love AL-WAYS... Patsy Cline.

The Encore Performance tickets are on sale now: $17.00/adults & $14.00/students & seniors. Tickets are available by phone at 219-548-9137; through the Memorial Opera House Box Offi ce, 104 Indiana Ave., Valparaiso; Box offi ce hours: Mon.-Sat., 10 a.m.-2 p.m. You may also visit www.mohlive.com

Journey to the Future

Children, teens and adults can travel into the fu-ture on Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17 at La Porte County Public Library. Journey to To-morrow, an exciting, interactive exhibit from NASA, will be open to the public for free self-guided tours from 10:00 AM until 7:00 PM. The exhibit is housed in a 53-foot long trailer which will be parked in front of the Main Library on Indiana Avenue. And in case you miss the trailer, just look for the 30-foot tall infl ated space shuttle outside.

Journey to Tomorrow is packed with fun and facts. Eight computer kiosks provide a variety of NASA-developed programming. Examples include Cel-ebrating 100 Years of Flight, highlighting NASAs contributions to the fi rst 100 years of powered fl ight and a lunar landing simulator. Additional stations include a planetary gravity demonstrator and a so-lar system scale where visitors can discover how much they would weigh on each of the planets.

The exhibit, which on loan from NASAs Glenn Re-search Center, includes a real moon rock. Two NASA employees will be on board to answer questions. In a special exhibit, Picture Yourself in Space, chil-dren can have a free photo taken in which they look like they are in space. Check out the exhibit online at http://journey.grc.nasa.gov/.

The exhibit was arranged by Childrens Librar-ian, Susan Bannwart, as part of the annual Mad Scientist event held at the library every March. When asked about the exhibit, she said When I contacted Mack Thomas at NASAs Johnson Space Center to inquire about the exhibit, he was very ex-cited to hear from us. They have never come to this area. We are fortunate to get this new and unique exhibit here in La Porte.

Everyone is welcome to tour this free exhibit. For more information or to schedule class visits, please call the Childrens Department at 219-362-7128.

Free Job-Search Workshops at PNCPurdue University North Central students in the

Organizational Leadership and Supervision pro-gram - under faculty supervision - will be offering free public workshops to help persons who are un-employed or underemployed with their job searches.

The PNC students performing this service learn-ing project developed the materials for the work-shop sessions. These students have completed up-per division coursework and are looking forward to careers in Human Resources. Many already have experience in the human resource fi eld.

These workshops meet Fridays from 10 a.m. to noon in Schwarz Hall Room 211. The workshops will feature informational presentations. Following the informational sessions, students will offer one-on-one assistance to review documents, make rec-ommendations for improvement and answer ques-tions. Workshop participants will have access to the PNC Computer Lab in Technology Building Room 265 to prepare or modify job search documents.

Participants are encouraged to bring electronic copies of their cover letter, resume and any other documents used in their job application process.

Workshops and their topics are:March 20 - Job Search Techniques; March 27

The Cover Letter; April 3 - Resume; April 10 - In-terview Techniques; April 17 - Interview Questions; April 24 - Follow-up Techniques; May 1 - Mock In-terviews

Participants may attend one session or all ses-sions. Registration is not required, however, to reg-ister or obtain additional information, contact Ron-ald Brownie, assistant professor of Organizational Leadership and Supervision, at 872-0527, ext. 5573 or email [email protected]

Digging in the earth? Who can see it? Shoveling in the snow is more like it these past months. But enough of that. Some of it has been wondrous and beautiful and fi rst patches of deep blue have been appearing along the shelf ice on Lake Michigan, out there beyond the second sand bar, a welcome sight and a portent that we will recover from this winter of our discontent, that there will be a green-up time to come.

Another portent of possible things to come came in a text from my quirky son via the Daily Tele-graph in the UK. A headline read: Where can I get me an immortal jellyfi sh? Immortal? Thats an in-terest-catching word. Immortal Jellyfi sh? Is this a new cartoon character? Where can I get one? Who would want one, I thought. It seems the scientists do. A tiny pieces of jellyfi sh, Turritopsis Nutricula, is able to revert to its former juvenile form once it mates, becoming a kid over and over and over again. Maria Migletta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute along with other marine biologists says: We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion. No wonder it made headlines. This little wanderer from the Caribbean has stumbled on the eternal fountain of youth.

So far the little (5mm, less than 34 of an inch) turritopsis is the only known animal capable of reverting to its younger self; geneticists are do-ing careful studies to see exactly how it manages to literally reverse its aging process. This is what marine biologists posit about this hydrozoan. They have found it happens through the cell development process of transdifferentiation, (whew!) and believe the process can repeat the cycle indefi nitely render-ing it potentially immortal. While most members of the jellyfi sh family usually die after propagating, the article states, tiny turritopsis has developed the unique ability to return to a polyp state. These jellyfi sh are now rocketing in population numbers swarming through the worlds oceans because they simply do not die. Such is the stuff of science fi c-tion. Are you watching, Isaac Asimov, from the great beyond? Jellyfi sh, of course, are not the fa-vorite creatures on Gods great earth, especially for scuba drivers and swimmers. Their tentacles have a hasty sting, sometimes fatal, but turritopsis, less than a dime in size, might produce just a pinch.

The future is before us it seems, even in jelly-fi sh. We hardy ones who have braved the lake ef-fect snows along Lake Michigan, endured the dol-drums of January when its clean-up for old fi les, revamped address books, new calendar notations and jaded resolutions, have held on. Weve braced

to live it through a frosty February when each sun bright day turns our faces up to ease the tension of troubled times and smile, just for a little while. The calendar will turn its page into March without our own two hands trying to push the earth a little fast-er on its axis. There will be the fi rst hints of spring, and the time of new life and new beginnings will come. Pity for poor turritopsis, to get through ado-lescence, then just go back and do it all over again, and again, and again, forever and forever, and noth-ing more. John Updike said in an interview before his recent death, that, though aging had its trials, he wasnt sure he would want to go through adoles-cence again. Eternal youth may sound like fun all that wonder, all those hormones -- but deep down I have the feeling, too, that it could get very wear-ing, and yes, even a little boring, having to learn the lessons all over again and again. When the world seems toil and trouble, caldron bubbling, boiling, every turn of a calendar page still holds a promise.

And so it is.

Hydrant Markers Donated by LB CivicThrough rain, snow, or dead of night, the Long

Beach Volunteer Fire Department will be prepared to locate community hydrants for fi ghting fi res. At this months meeting, the Long Beach Civic allo-cated money to purchase 150 hydrant markers.

In addition, the Civic group has begun commit-tee work for the 4th of July festivities and is in the process of determining the number of volunteers needed for the workforce.

The meeting was held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Angelo.

Public Seminar on Racing SailboatsThe Michigan City Yacht Club in cooperation

with the Harbor Grill has announced two free semi-nars for persons interested in racing sailboats on Lake Michigan. Seminar guests can rsvp by email [email protected] or phoning 219-929-7668.

Name of Seminar: New Racer Roundup: An Introduction to Racing Sailboats on Lake Michigan

Dates: March 12, 2009 and repeating on May 14, 2009

Location: The Harbor Grill, 12 On The Lake, Michigan City, IN 46360 (Harbor Grill is located within Washington Park, use west entrance)

Time: 7:00pm CSTPresenters: Herb Philbrick, Vice Commodore of

Sail, Michigan City Yacht Club and Jennie Girton, Director

The general public is invited to attend an infor-mational seminar about the Michigan City Yacht Club sail boat racing program. MCYC sponsors weekly races from May thru September. Opportu-nities abound for those who would like to try the sport for fun. Interested crew persons are matched with open spots on racing boats. Skippers have their choice of participating in a relaxed JAM (Jib and Main only) class or setting a chute in one of two competitive Spinnaker classes.

The evening seminar is designed to help boat owners and crew get a feel for the sail race experi-ence and, ultimately be prepared to join in a fi rst race with confi dence. The discussion will be tailored to those in attendance. Topics include the basics of crew etiquette, navigating the course from start to fi nish, signals and communications, and basic rules of racing. Join us for a lively evening of sailing talk.

Contact: For more information, contact Jennie Girton at [email protected], ph. 219-929-7668 or visit the clubs Web site at www.mcyc.com

The last two weeks columns featured websites that provide coupons, freebies, rebates and the like. This week we explore personal fi nance sites. But before we do that, I want to spread the word about two events you might be interested in. First, the Michiana Area Computer Society (MACS) has a meeting coming up on March 16 at 7 p.m. at Ivy Tech on Franklin. The computer club is open to all enthusiasts of any level and serves to offer helpful information to computer users. The group usually meets monthly. The second bit of news is about our towns very own Citys Pure Ice. Bud Lies and his crew have been up in Fairbanks, Alaska, participat-ing in Ice Alaskas World Ice Art Championships. The competition began in mid-February and runs through March 22, and much of the action can be viewed online at www.icealaska.com. Find Bud and crews entry under the multiblock class. The website has still photos from current and past years, plus webcams of the participants. You can see Bud and his teammates Alfred Arroyo, Stan Horn and John Crumpacker on their entry, Vision at site 21. They are the only entry representing Indiana. They are competing against teams from China, Russia, France, Alaska, Pennsylvania, and other places. Have a look.

Wise Bread (www.wisebread.com). I found this to be a good place to launch my review of various blogs fi lled with advice about personal fi nance. The links are very good, but then the site is also good for learning all manner of what I will call money-han-dling strategies. The categories are broken down into Frugal Living, Career & Income, Life Hacks, Deals and Coupons, and Personal Finance.

Bargaineering (www.bargaineering.com). It did not take long for me to become immersed in some of the articles archived here. Im guessing this blogger is college age or thereabouts, because he mentions how dumpster diving in the dorm lead to a profi t-able side income. Another article was about the Fine Art of Line Drying Laundry. I am an expert at that one, and live where no one tells me I cannot hang laundry outdoors. Been doing it for years and have no intention to stop. Anyway, I liked the ease of reading this blog.

Credit Karma (www.creditkarma.com).Advice I learned from one of the blogs mentioned above led me to this site, which purportedly gives you your credit score free of charge. I did not plug in my info to check it out, but I understand that the score you receive is not quite the same as FICOjust close enough. For your credit report, use www.annual-creditreport.com and scroll and read carefully. They tell you that you can obtain it online with just the last four digits of your social security number, but

it did not work for me. You have other optionsin-cluding writing for it or phoning online. Make sure you are ordering the free ones, unless you want to take them up on other offers that will cost you a lit-tle. Do not use freecreditreport.com unless you are prepared to pay, because the websites name and url is misleading.

Daughter Jane Arrived, At Last

Yes, shes a very busy woman who lives and works in Chicago. Shes a freelance writer and is totally immersed in that work, including a book shell soon be publishing. Finally coming to Michigan City to visit her mom, fi rst time since Christmas, we fi rst drove to Sawyer MI to deliver last weeks Beach-er story to Chef Joe. We made several stops before reaching home and getting on my phone to invite my supper club neighbors over Pat Latchford, Donna Hennard and Patti Marth to further enter-tain her. (And Id quietly already invited a bunch of my fellow-bridge-players to come a bit later, same evening. Jane was indeed surprised when my local friends came into the room Shed never met them before. We had grand food (recipes below) and many laughs and, no, we did not play bridge. Jane had to take off rather early the next morning -- her car had broken down here in Michigan City, so she rode home with a tow truck and its driver. What a week-end.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unfold pastry on a work surface. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut pastry into 10 equal strips; cut each strip crosswise into thirds (to yield 30 1-by-3 pcs.). Wrap a strip of pastry around each frank, and place, seam side down, 2 apart on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush top of pastry with egg; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with ketchup or mus-tard. Makes 30.

Arizona Artist at Courtyard GalleryThe Courtyard Gallery is pleased to welcome

abstract artist Bruce Marion of Arizona. Born and raised in Los Angeles area, Bruce Marion began his career at an early age, studying privately with a cadre of local artist, and sold his fi rst piece in a juried professional show when just nine years old. He holds a BFA from the prestigious Art Center Col-lege of Design in Pasadena, where he studied under world-renowned artist Pat Nagel and Lorser Feitel-son, the father of Post-Surrealism.

The circle as a metaphor has also been in Mar-ions painting for many years. Its elemental, he says. It represents our journeys and our lessons that keep coming back around. I like the fact that no single point on a circle is more important than any other point. Every point on the path is an equally important part of the journey. Whether we think of it as a good or bad experience, its all leading us to our destination.

The Courtyard Gallery, 813 E. Buffalo St. (U.S. Hwy.12) in New Buffalo, MI. Gallery hours are Mon.-Sat. 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Sun. 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Tues. by appointment. For more, phone 800-291-9287 or log onto courtyardfi neart.com
