DYERSVILLE, Iowa - The one bat that didn't get a single hit Monday night provided the spark Dyersville Beckman's offense needed. The Trailblazers rallied for a 9-5 victory over rival Western Dubuque in the second game of a WaMaC Conference doubleheader after a bat controversy in the second inning. When umpires ruled Tyler Rahe's bat illegal, it meant an automatic ejection for coach Tom Jenk Jr., the first in his 37-year Hall of Fame career.
I must have thrown away four pounds of paper," Edwards says about packing for the move. Those bits of paper held scribbles of lyrics and chords, thoughts of songs he's finished. "It was stuff that I'd already recorded or didn't want to use. "I still quote Stuart when I'm talking to friends. Like, Oh, Stuart said this in a song," he says. "It's personal to both of us, regardless of who's singing what or who's playing what. The last four months of our time in Nashville, we were both homeless. At least eight of the songs on the record were written then." "A lot of people don't realize, and they think, "This is the place to be. I play in a band in Nashville, Tennessee, and everything's going well,'" says [Andy Holmes]. "It's really depressing. It's a really superficial, pretentious place....
Youngblood is a former cop who's worked as a private investigator for three decades. He's handled about 50 capital murder cases over the years. Quite a few defendants, he says, were obviously guilty. A few others he wasn't sure about. "Mr. Graf is the one case out of 50 that I'm thoroughly convinced that he did not do it," Youngblood says. The case haunts him. He chokes back tears. "It's one case I never forget about," he says. [Ed Graf, Youngblood] and [Clare Graf] began dating in early 1984, two-and-ahalf years before the fire. They married seven months later. Ed adopted her two boys, and the family moved into Ed's house on Angel Fire Drive. But Ed's and Clare's personalities never meshed. Ed is a numbers man, rigid and meticulous. He tracked the family's finances to the penny, carrie...
Cesar Soto had dumped 10th grade for drugs. Flunked out of L.A. Valley College. Then drifted from job to job changing bedpans in nursing homes. Now, after turning his life around, the award-winning English literature graduate student will not only join thousands of students this week to graduate from Cal State Northridge, but he's earned a six-year paid ticket for more grad work at the University of Notre Dame.
Graduation ceremonies at Mater Dei, Reitz and the three Posey County high schools were held at the end of May. Valedictorians for the class of 2011 were: Mater Dei
Wasn't it a kick that First Lady Michelle Obama - so tall and lithe and lovely - delivered the commencement address recently at the University of Northern Iowa on a perfect spring day? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember a time in recent history that a sitting first lady presided over graduation honors in our state. What a coup for UNI, not the showiest of our universities. The school hasn't had such a Cinderella moment since the basketball Panthers beat the Kansas Jayhawks in 2010 to reach the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.
(Hendricks's Fela painting shows the musician grabbing his crotch-something that, despite the infamous lewdness of hip-hop, Wiley avoids.) Wiley's version of neo-Black Power is complicated, since it centers on the corporatized fields of sports and entertainment, and captures Africans dressed in the cheap outfits (born out of sweat shops and globalized commerce) that mean a young man in Lagos wouldn't look out of place on 125th Street Only one painting, Three Wise Men Greeting Entry Into Lagos, finds Wiley's subjects dressed in African attire-well, African tunics worn over jeans. (In some of his paintings, vegetal patterns in the background wind around the figures in the foreground, replicating sperm.) But in a catalog interview, when curator Christine Kim tells Wiley that one of his Am...
Having been a musician in comfortably traditional and thoroughly alien settings, Haskins split the difference by spending seven years in New York City, from whence he toured Europe and the United States as a solo artist and recorded three albums. But he had trouble maintaining a touring band. "The thing with The Old Ceremony," he explains, "is that it's a band in the sense that we're ail really in it together. That's what I couldn't find in New York. It's a financial thing. If someone's trying to make a living playing bass in New York, they've got to spread themselves really thin just to make ends meet. Never one to lay low ("Django," after all, means "I awake" in Romany), Haskins formed International Orange with Robert Sledge, Britt "Snüzz" Uzzell and Jason Fagg shortly after arriving...
