Penn Theatre Arts Program

Spring 2016 Mainstage Production

April 7–10, 2016

@ Penn Museum

'The Eumenides' is the third play in Aeschylus’ great masterpiece, the tragic trilogy 'The Oresteia,' written more than 2,500 years ago. In response to the pleadings of his sister Electra and at the command of the god Apollo, Orestes has murdered his mother, Clytemnestra, who was wife and murderer of his father Agamemnon. As a consequence, Orestes finds himself tormented by the terrible Furies, hideous ancient goddesses of the underworld divinely charged with punishing blood murders. Guests follow the actors through Penn Museum’s third floor galleries.

Directed by Marcia Ferguson and featuring original music by composer Patrick Lamborn, this production is performed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Theatre Arts Program’s Artistic Resident for 2016, Sebastienne Mundheim/White Box Theatre, who created the production design, with additional support from the Provost’s Interdisciplinary Arts fund.

Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.

Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.

Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.

Ukrainian Live Tour — знати, слухати, любити українське наживо.

Соковитий плейлист із добірної музики команда Ukrainian Live збирала в архівах впродовж двох років. Тур “Повернення української класики” — це захоплива розповідь про міфи, час, пристрасті та Галичину. У тринадцятьох містах України в рамках великого концертного туру Ukrainian Live, за підтримки Українського культурного фонду.

З понад 1000 композиторів було обрано 10 митців, які жили і творили музичну культуру на зламі епох. Вони — ніжні та романтичні, трагічні та мрійливі, бурхливі та медитативні — їх твори, об’єднані в унікальну добірку, з акцентом на Час, Пристрасть і Міфи.

Час

Час, помножений на швидкість — це відстань. Міст між минулим і майбутнім.

Сидір Воробкевич — ранній професійний галицький композитор, фортепіанна “Фантазія” якого розпочинає музичну подорож Ukrainian Live Tour. Автодидакт, його постать однозначно знакова для української музичної історії. Лістівські традиції простежуються у творах Воробкевича расподійністю форми та наративністю викладу музичної думки.

Столітній класик українського мистецтва Станіслав Людкевич. Без нього важко уявити Львів ХХ століття. Він переносить у сферу споглядальності, мелодійності та мрій.

Пристрасть

Пришвидшує биття серця, тиск крові граничний.

Пізній романтизм Нестора Нижанківського — згусток емоцій та насичених фарб, від глибокої лірики до потужного драматизму.

Так само пристрасним був Зиновій Лисько. В культурі його закарбували сміливі експерименти з музичною мовою та формою, в найкращих тенденціях нововіденців, Берга та Веберна, та розгалужена ритмічна структура створюють незабутнє відчуття гри з часом та простором.

Міфи

Дві трагічні історії двох галицьких митців.

У концерті прозвучать дві фортепіанні мініатюри Бориса Кудрика — митця з трагічною долею, зламаною тоталітарним режимом. Попри це, Кудрик до останніх днів залишався безмежним оптимістом, його творчість світилася любов’ю до життя. Василь Барвінський пройшов тернистий шлях від ректора львівської консерваторії до полоненого у концтаборах тоталітарного режиму. Його твори спалювали у внутрішньому дворику консерваторії, а зараз увесь світ шукає його загублені рукописи, аби відновити історичну справедливість. Так склалося, що з Борисом Кудриком вони були ув’язнені у сусідніх концтаборах - проте лише Барвінський був реабілітований за життя. Йому вдалося привести назад до України декілька мініатюр Кудрика, а безліч фортепіанних сонат, якими славився композитор були назавжди втрачені.

З 15 вересня до 26 жовтня, у 13 містах України, за маршрутом - Львів, Тернопіль, Хмельницький, Вінниця, Житомир, Рівне, Київ, Чернігів, Харків, Кривий Ріг, Дніпро, Кропивницький та Одеса.

Команда Ukrainian Live ретельно працює над тим, щоб класичною музикою могли насолодитись якомога більше людей, щоб українці пізнали та цінували своє національне культурне надбання.

Ukrainian Live Tour — know, listen and love Ukrainian live.

A rich play list of selected music the Ukrainian Live team had been gathering through archives for two years. The "Return of Ukrainian Classical Music" tour is an exciting tale about myths, time, passion, and Galicia. In thirteen cities of Ukraine, in the framework of the Ukrainian Live grand concert tour with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.

10 artists who lived and created musical culture at the break of eras were chosen from over 1,000 composers. Their creations are tender and romantic, tragic and wistful, wild and meditative and they are combined into a unique selection with emphasis on Time, Passion and Myths.

Time

Time multiplied by speed is distance. A bridge between past and present.

Sydir Vorobkevych is an early professional Galician composer. His "Fantasy" for the piano begins the musical journey of the Ukrainian Live Tour. Being a self-taught man, he is uniquely significant for Ukrainian musical history. Traditions of Liszt can be traced in the works by Vorobkevych with a rhapsodic form and a narrative expression of the musical thought.

Stanyslav Lyudkevych is a centennial classic of Ukrainian art. It's hard to imagine the XX century Lviv without him. He brings us into the realm of observance, melody and dreams.

Passion

The heart is quickening its pace and blood pressure is up to the limit.

Late romanticism of Nestor Nyzhankivsky is a cluster of emotions and rich colors, from deep lyrics to powerful drama.

Zynoviy Lysko was just as passionate. His work is a part of our culture and he is remembered for bold experiments with musical language and form in the best trends of the newcomers Berg and Webern and the ramified rhythmic structure, which when combined create an unforgettable feeling of playing with time and space.

Myths

Two tragic stories of two artists from Galicia.

At the concert you will hear two miniatures for the piano written by Borys Kudryk, an artist with a tragic fate destroyed by the totalitarian regime. Despite all of that, Kudryk remained an optimist till his last days and his work shines with love for life. Vasyl Barvinskyi went through a thorny path from being the Head of the Lviv Academy of Music to a prisoner in the concentration camps of the totalitarian regime. His works were burnt in the inner yard of the Academy and now the whole world is searching for his lost manuscripts to restore historic justice. It so happened that both he and Borys Kudryk were imprisoned in neighboring camps. However, only Barvinskyi got exonerated while still being alive. He managed to bring several miniatures by Kudryk back to Ukraine, but numerous piano sonatas the composer was so famous for were lost forever.

From September 15 till October 26, in 13 cities of Ukraine with the following route — Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi and Odesa.

The Ukrainian Live team puts in a lot of effort so that classical music can be enjoyed by as many people as possible and so that Ukrainian know and value their national cultural heritage.

Liftoff of the six-minute flight test was at 11:30 a.m. (EDT) on Oct. 28, 2009. This was the first launch from Kennedy's pads of a vehicle other than the space shuttle since the Apollo Program's Saturn rockets were retired. The parts used to make the Ares I-X booster flew on 30 different shuttle missions ranging from STS-29 in 1989 to STS-106 in 2000. The data returned from more than 700 sensors throughout the rocket will be used to refine the design of future launch vehicles and bring NASA one step closer to reaching its exploration goals.

What is your best memory of WSSU?

My best memory at WSSU would have to be my entire freshmen year, from the mentorship of people like Keenan Easter and Vanity Oakes to the advice and guidance from Advisors like Chelii Broussard and Angela Blue, my freshmen year was a testament that dreams do come true. I was blessed with the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people during that academic school year. My freshmen year taught me how to embrace my culture and to love and love freely.

What do you love about WSSU?

The thing I love about WSSU more than anything is the Spirit. Unlike many other HBCUs there’s a certain respect that is given when you are a student at WSSU. From our football and basketball games to the cheerleaders and the band, WSSU has Spirit and even though it might not be apparent in the students from time to time, the spirit of WSSU is always present and will always remain.

What do you plan on doing after you graduate?

Post Graduation, I plan to become an English Teacher, I also plan to continue my education and receive my Masters in Educational Leadership

How has WSSU prepared you for the future?

WSSU has prepared me for the future in so many ways, from the failures to the daily successes, everything that has happened to me here at WSSU has prepared me to Depart to Serve.

How has WSSU made a difference in your life?

WSSU has made a difference in my life in several ways. WSSU has taught me how to be an educated black man and how to act and respond as one. WSSU has changed my view on life and has given me the tools to live life and live life with no boundaries. WSSU has taught me to take the road least traveled and that has made all the difference since.

Penn Theatre Arts Fall 2015 Mainstage Production

Directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter.

The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, BURY THE DEAD, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers. About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.

Performances:

November 18–21, 7:00pm

@ Annenberg Center Live, Bruce Montgomery Theatre

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.

The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.

"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."

"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."

SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.

The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.

"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."

The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.

"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.

I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."

Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.

But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.

On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.

The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.

"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."

Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.

"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."

The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.

Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.

No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

Spring 2016 Mainstage Production

April 7–10, 2016

@ Penn Museum

'The Eumenides' is the third play in Aeschylus’ great masterpiece, the tragic trilogy 'The Oresteia,' written more than 2,500 years ago. In response to the pleadings of his sister Electra and at the command of the god Apollo, Orestes has murdered his mother, Clytemnestra, who was wife and murderer of his father Agamemnon. As a consequence, Orestes finds himself tormented by the terrible Furies, hideous ancient goddesses of the underworld divinely charged with punishing blood murders. Guests follow the actors through Penn Museum’s third floor galleries.

Directed by Marcia Ferguson and featuring original music by composer Patrick Lamborn, this production is performed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Theatre Arts Program’s Artistic Resident for 2016, Sebastienne Mundheim/White Box Theatre, who created the production design, with additional support from the Provost’s Interdisciplinary Arts fund.

Partners came together in mid-June to plant fifty threatened swamp pink plants at a western North Carolina bog managed by the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program. The fifty plants were raised in captivity by the Atlanta Botanical Garden from seed collected at the site. Raising the seeds in captivity reduces plant mortality, while using seeds originally harvested from this site helps conserve any unique genetic characteristics that may occur in the plants found at this bog. Staff from the Atlanta Botanical Garden, N.C. Plant Conservation Program, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service helped with the planting.

Swamp pink has been on the federal threatened and endangered species list as threatened since 1988. It’s sporadically found in wetlands from New Jersey to Georgia.

Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.

Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.

Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.

ORLANDO, Florida -

Boom.

The shotgun blast reverberates through the phone receiver. Breathless seconds pass before an eerily calm voice cuts through the ringing ear pressed against the other line.

“I just fired a round into the ceiling,” says the voice in a grave, matter-of-fact tone. “You have five minutes to tell me why the next one shouldn’t go through my skull.”

This harrowing crisis is one of dozens of roleplaying scenarios that 27 students assigned to the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) encountered during an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and Ask, Care, Escort – Suicide Intervention (ACE-SI) workshop conducted April 15-17, 2016, in Orlando, Fla.

“ASIST gives students the fundamental tools, knowledge and resources to help save the life an individual contemplating suicide,” said Gerald Felder, suicide program manager, 143rd ESC. “This course teaches students how to identify people expressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors and take a proactive approach in providing immediate and compassionate care for them through hands-on training.”

Created by LivingWorks Education, a social enterprise dedicated to saving lives through the creation, development and delivery of innovative training experiences, ASIST has trained more than 1 million people throughout the world on how to apply scientifically tested tools and techniques to reduce the risks associated with suicide. The U.S. Army partnered with LivingWorks in 2009 to integrate ASIST training in the Army’s suicide prevention campaign.

“[ASIST] is more than just a series of dry presentations that explain why people shouldn’t kill themselves,” said Army Spc. Grace Lee, an ASIST student serving as a transportation management coordinator for the 520th Movement Control Team in Orlando. “It breaks the ‘death by PowerPoint’ mold by creating a caring and comfortable environment that encourages students to share their ideas and personal experiences … The ASIST instructors encourage us to address one another on a first name basis, [and] I feel this practice helps students speak freely among themselves by reducing the tensions associated with rank and status.”

“The foundational framework of ASIST assumes that anyone can save a life,” added Felder, a native of Birmingham, Ala. “The program’s proactive approach gives students the confidence to take action with the understanding that they should strive for proficiency rather than perfection. ASIST emphasizes this distinction to remind students that their training is equivalent to applying first aid to a wounded comrade, and that they should reach out to their chaplain, behavioral health specialist, chain-of-command or other experts with the same skill set and resources to provide long-term care.

The workshop’s interactive audio-visual presentations, small group discussions and roleplaying scenarios culminate into a versatile program that provides practical training for Army Reserve Soldiers beyond their military obligations.

“This is the second time I’ve taken this course,” said Lee, a Honolulu, Hawaii, native currently working as a nurse for a Florida Hospital women’s care clinic. “Shortly after I received my ASIST training certification, I applied my newfound skills and knowledge to help my patients … Taking this course again reinforces what I learned, especially on how to identify the subtle signs of suicide and what questions to ask when you suspect someone is thinking about taking his or her own life.”

Suicides in the Army ranks rose sharply from 45 in 2001 to 165 in 2012. Three years later, this all-time high dropped by nearly 20 percent. Felder partially attributes this decrease to the surge of Soldiers and Department of the Army Civilians who have participated in an ASIST workshop. He punctuates this correlation with recent suicide statistics within his command.

“The 143rd ESC sadly lost eight Soldiers to suicide last year,” said Felder. “Since Jan.1, 2016, only one Soldier in this command has committed suicide. Although one life lost to suicide is too many, the fact that the command reported nine suicidal threats that were averted through intervention tells me that the Soldiers, civilians and family members of this command are communicating with one another and using the plethora of suicide prevention resources available to them to include the training many have received through the ASIST program.”

Although an analysis of the specific contributions of ASIST to the Army’s declining suicide rate may prove difficult to measure, its personable approach and collaborative environment have given thousands of Soldiers the confidence to uphold the Army values founded on the basic yet essential moral principle that all life is precious.

“I lost my brother and nearly lost my husband to suicide,” said Lee. “If I had ASIST training during those dark days, I may have spared my family and me from immense pain and hardship. People tend to forget that suicide takes a heavy toll on the living as well … I highly encourage my fellow Soldiers to enroll in ASIST training immediately and actively participate in all the activities with an open mind.”

Ukrainian Live Tour — знати, слухати, любити українське наживо.

Соковитий плейлист із добірної музики команда Ukrainian Live збирала в архівах впродовж двох років. Тур “Повернення української класики” — це захоплива розповідь про міфи, час, пристрасті та Галичину. У тринадцятьох містах України в рамках великого концертного туру Ukrainian Live, за підтримки Українського культурного фонду.

З понад 1000 композиторів було обрано 10 митців, які жили і творили музичну культуру на зламі епох. Вони — ніжні та романтичні, трагічні та мрійливі, бурхливі та медитативні — їх твори, об’єднані в унікальну добірку, з акцентом на Час, Пристрасть і Міфи.

Час

Час, помножений на швидкість — це відстань. Міст між минулим і майбутнім.

Сидір Воробкевич — ранній професійний галицький композитор, фортепіанна “Фантазія” якого розпочинає музичну подорож Ukrainian Live Tour. Автодидакт, його постать однозначно знакова для української музичної історії. Лістівські традиції простежуються у творах Воробкевича расподійністю форми та наративністю викладу музичної думки.

Столітній класик українського мистецтва Станіслав Людкевич. Без нього важко уявити Львів ХХ століття. Він переносить у сферу споглядальності, мелодійності та мрій.

Пристрасть

Пришвидшує биття серця, тиск крові граничний.

Пізній романтизм Нестора Нижанківського — згусток емоцій та насичених фарб, від глибокої лірики до потужного драматизму.

Так само пристрасним був Зиновій Лисько. В культурі його закарбували сміливі експерименти з музичною мовою та формою, в найкращих тенденціях нововіденців, Берга та Веберна, та розгалужена ритмічна структура створюють незабутнє відчуття гри з часом та простором.

Міфи

Дві трагічні історії двох галицьких митців.

У концерті прозвучать дві фортепіанні мініатюри Бориса Кудрика — митця з трагічною долею, зламаною тоталітарним режимом. Попри це, Кудрик до останніх днів залишався безмежним оптимістом, його творчість світилася любов’ю до життя. Василь Барвінський пройшов тернистий шлях від ректора львівської консерваторії до полоненого у концтаборах тоталітарного режиму. Його твори спалювали у внутрішньому дворику консерваторії, а зараз увесь світ шукає його загублені рукописи, аби відновити історичну справедливість. Так склалося, що з Борисом Кудриком вони були ув’язнені у сусідніх концтаборах - проте лише Барвінський був реабілітований за життя. Йому вдалося привести назад до України декілька мініатюр Кудрика, а безліч фортепіанних сонат, якими славився композитор були назавжди втрачені.

З 15 вересня до 26 жовтня, у 13 містах України, за маршрутом - Львів, Тернопіль, Хмельницький, Вінниця, Житомир, Рівне, Київ, Чернігів, Харків, Кривий Ріг, Дніпро, Кропивницький та Одеса.

Команда Ukrainian Live ретельно працює над тим, щоб класичною музикою могли насолодитись якомога більше людей, щоб українці пізнали та цінували своє національне культурне надбання.

Ukrainian Live Tour — know, listen and love Ukrainian live.

A rich play list of selected music the Ukrainian Live team had been gathering through archives for two years. The "Return of Ukrainian Classical Music" tour is an exciting tale about myths, time, passion, and Galicia. In thirteen cities of Ukraine, in the framework of the Ukrainian Live grand concert tour with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.

10 artists who lived and created musical culture at the break of eras were chosen from over 1,000 composers. Their creations are tender and romantic, tragic and wistful, wild and meditative and they are combined into a unique selection with emphasis on Time, Passion and Myths.

Time

Time multiplied by speed is distance. A bridge between past and present.

Sydir Vorobkevych is an early professional Galician composer. His "Fantasy" for the piano begins the musical journey of the Ukrainian Live Tour. Being a self-taught man, he is uniquely significant for Ukrainian musical history. Traditions of Liszt can be traced in the works by Vorobkevych with a rhapsodic form and a narrative expression of the musical thought.

Stanyslav Lyudkevych is a centennial classic of Ukrainian art. It's hard to imagine the XX century Lviv without him. He brings us into the realm of observance, melody and dreams.

Passion

The heart is quickening its pace and blood pressure is up to the limit.

Late romanticism of Nestor Nyzhankivsky is a cluster of emotions and rich colors, from deep lyrics to powerful drama.

Zynoviy Lysko was just as passionate. His work is a part of our culture and he is remembered for bold experiments with musical language and form in the best trends of the newcomers Berg and Webern and the ramified rhythmic structure, which when combined create an unforgettable feeling of playing with time and space.

Myths

Two tragic stories of two artists from Galicia.

At the concert you will hear two miniatures for the piano written by Borys Kudryk, an artist with a tragic fate destroyed by the totalitarian regime. Despite all of that, Kudryk remained an optimist till his last days and his work shines with love for life. Vasyl Barvinskyi went through a thorny path from being the Head of the Lviv Academy of Music to a prisoner in the concentration camps of the totalitarian regime. His works were burnt in the inner yard of the Academy and now the whole world is searching for his lost manuscripts to restore historic justice. It so happened that both he and Borys Kudryk were imprisoned in neighboring camps. However, only Barvinskyi got exonerated while still being alive. He managed to bring several miniatures by Kudryk back to Ukraine, but numerous piano sonatas the composer was so famous for were lost forever.

From September 15 till October 26, in 13 cities of Ukraine with the following route — Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi and Odesa.

The Ukrainian Live team puts in a lot of effort so that classical music can be enjoyed by as many people as possible and so that Ukrainian know and value their national cultural heritage.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.

The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.

"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."

"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."

SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.

The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.

"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."

The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.

"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.

I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."

Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.

But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.

On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.

The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.

"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."

Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.

"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."

The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.

Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.

No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

The annual fall canoe paddle with Professor of Biological Sciences David White offers students an opportunity to wade through some of the most beautiful swamps and bayous just a short distance from New Orleans in southeastern Louisiana.

The trips start in the late afternoon and last into the evening and night offers a great twilight experience to see firsthand our cypress trees, swamp, marsh plants, and wildlife. Participants see see alligators, wading birds, ducks, and spectacular scenes of Spanish-moss covered trees. With lights after dark participants shine for night-stalking wildlife.

Dr. White studies plant community and population ecology in wetland ecosystems. Recent research has focused on study of the establishment and spread of the marsh reed, Phragmites australis, within the Mississippi River Delta and the community structure of tropical forests in the Yucatan Peninsula. Dr. White is also involved in a long term research project (going on 25 yrs) on marsh plant biomass within the Delta.

Spring 2016 Mainstage Production

April 7–10, 2016

'The Eumenides' is the third play in Aeschylus’ great masterpiece, the tragic trilogy 'The Oresteia,' written more than 2,500 years ago. In response to the pleadings of his sister Electra and at the command of the god Apollo, Orestes has murdered his mother, Clytemnestra, who was wife and murderer of his father Agamemnon. As a consequence, Orestes finds himself tormented by the terrible Furies, hideous ancient goddesses of the underworld divinely charged with punishing blood murders. Guests follow the actors through Penn Museum’s third floor galleries.

Directed by Marcia Ferguson and featuring original music by composer Patrick Lamborn, this production is performed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Theatre Arts Program’s Artistic Resident for 2016, Sebastienne Mundheim/White Box Theatre, who created the production design, with additional support from the Provost’s Interdisciplinary Arts fund.

N.C. Guard Tarheel ChalleNGe Cadets Graduate Friday

RALEIGH, N.C. - The North Carolina National Guard's Tarheel ChalleNGe Program will host a graduation ceremony Friday, Dec. 13, at 10 a.m. at the Sampson County Agri-Exposition Center, located at 414 Warsaw Rd., in Clinton, N.C. Friday's graduation is the program's 39th. Of the 114 graduates, more than 70 earned their GEDs while in the program. The ChalleNGe Cadets also

participate in a number of local service related projects while enrolled in order to support their community.

"Tarheel ChalleNGE is a valuable program for at risk youth in our state," said Maj. Gen. Greg Lusk, adjutant general of North Carolina. "These young men and women are learning valuable skills that will help them succeed outside of the classroom and prepare them for real life."

The program consists of a 22-week in-residence phase at ChalleNGe's Salemburg campus focused on academics and physical training aimed at reclaiming troubled high school dropouts and giving them the skills to become productive citizens. Cadets are enrolled in a GED diploma program while in the in-residence phase. A one-year mentoring phase follows the in-residence portion.

Spotlight Program's Board hosted students for breakfast on the first day of #GSUnited Homecoming 2016.

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.

The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.

Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.

Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.

Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.

The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.

A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.

But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.

The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.

The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.

The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.

But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.

That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.

Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.

Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.

After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.

Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action. Go Pirates!

Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.

Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.

Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.

Spires Runners Post Strong Showing at Nationals

The University of Saint Mary Men’s Cross Country Team and Women's Team runner Ana Gamboa competed this Saturday in the 2013 NAIA Cross Country National Championships at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, Kan. The men’s and women’s race featured 32 of the best teams and over 300 of the best cross country runners in the NAIA.

It turned out to be a very cold morning with the temperature only being in the 20’s for the start of both the men and women’s race.

The Spire men had a very good showing at the team’s first-ever national championship race in the program's three-year history. The team placed 22nd in the country, beating out 10 of the 32 teams that qualified for the NAIA National Championship Meet.

The Spires first runner to finish was senior Brooks Ballou, who placed 83rd with a time of 25:44.82.

Coach David Dominguez had this to say about Brooks and his last collegiate cross country race for the University of Saint Mary: “You could not ask for a better teammate and a harder working athlete. Brooks is one of those special athletes that you are always sad to see graduate. I look forward to seeing the success he will have during the 2014 outdoor track season.”

The Spires had several other outstanding performances on Saturday. The second runner to come in was junior Garret Colglazier, who was 106th with a time of 25:56.98. The third USM runner was Junior Josh Whittaker, who placed 167th with a time of 26:25.94. The Spires' 4th runner -- who had an outstanding day even after being sick for several weeks -- was Aaron Potter, who placed 177th and posted a personal best time of 26:30.78. The Spires fifth runner in was Jacob Sherman, who placed 238th with a personal course best time of 27:12.8. To round out the Saint Mary seven, Russell Brown placed 263rd with a time of 27:33.90, and Ricardo Cortez placed 291st with a time of 28:17.74.

The lone USM Women's Cross Country runner racing at the national championship event was Ana Gamboa. Ana is the first female National Qualifier in USM history. Ana placed 104th out of 321 runners with a time of 19:13.31.

Head Coach Dominguez said “Ana ran a great race; she came out here and gave it her all. She represented the University of Saint Mary very well.”

The next race for the University of Saint Mary distance runners will be 2013 NAIA Qualifier Half Marathon held in Winfield, KS on Dec 6th.
