DRAPER, Utah - The Utah National Guard's 1457th Engineer Battalion
conducts a small demolitions event on Monday, June 9, at Camp Williams.
The Engineers, known as Sappers, conducted the activity on the Camp
Williams demolitions range in order to maintain their proficiency.
This training is required annually for all combat engineers to be certified
in the use of demolitions. The training allows for the 1457th to be ready
to complete its assigned combat mission, which includes the clearance and
reduction of Improvised Explosive Devices or IEDs.
The surrounding communities bordering Camp Williams should expect to hear
random explosions over the course of a few hours as our Engineers
demonstrate their proficiency with demolitions.

Music improvised by schoolchildren from Japan and Lewiston forms the basis of a collaborative sound and image project to be performed at Bates College at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10, in the Olin Arts Center Concert Hall, 75 Russell St.
Listening In, Looking Out is a project undertaken by Hiroya Miura, a composer who directs the
Bates College Orchestra, in collaboration with Bates students, intermedia artist Peter Bussigel and percussionist Masaki Endo, as well as the children, whose recorded musical efforts form part of the soundscape.
Endo will perform during the presentation of the piece. For more information, please contact
207-786-6135 or this olinarts@bates.edu.
The composition of the piece is based on a game, often associated with the Dadaist art movement of the early 20th century, in which each member of a team adds a piece, in turn, to the creation of a work. For Listening In, Looking Out, Miura, Bussigel and the Bates students conducted improvisation workshops this year with children in Sendai, Japan (where a version of the piece was premiered in 2009), and at Lewiston's Farwell Elementary School.
The workshops are designed to get children to improvise simple musical instruments from everyday objects. Recordings from the workshops were edited by the Bates students to create a sound and image composition.
The Bates students taking part are two juniors, Abigael Merson of Falmouth and Jack Schneider of Tacoma Park, Md.; and Alex Koster, a senior from Pound Ridge, N.Y.

Improvisation is a huge part of all Love Drama sessions. Kirsten, the company director has studied with Keith Johnstone, the leading pioneer in improv. We are the only youth theatre group who lead a group who work soley on improv techniques. Improv is fun, exciting, fast paced and an activity where making mistakes is warmly accepted. Improv is a wonderful skill for young people to learn and it will stand them well throughout their whole lives.
After taking the hooks off the Snap Deck we were able to use it as a sand board. With a little practice it is possible to ride the length of the dune.
Personally, the mystery of this picture has the wow facter.
As it remains mystery for audience that photographers is trying to communicate with the audience.
