Ensemble brings essence of Italy to Cody on Feb. 24 Beautifully weaving styles and languages together into a dazzling musical tapestry, O Sole Trio will perform in Cody on Feb. 24.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Wynona Thompson Auditorium and is sponsored by the Park County Arts Council.

O Sole Trio is a vibrant musical ensemble that has brought their exhilarating show capturing the essence of Italy to numerous venues throughout North America and beyond. The show is performed in both Italian and English and has garnered rave reviews from audiences and critics.

The New York-based ensemble features the lush voices of soprano Erin Shields and baritone Giuseppe Spolentini, as well as the versatile and virtuosic David Shenton on piano and violin.

O Sole Trio’s shows are both touching and humorous, featuring a program that showcases a cornucopia of beloved Italian opera arias, Neapolitan songs as well as jazz and pop standards made popular by singers like Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Connie Francis and Andrea Bocelli.

Their most recent credits include a performance on the Columbus Day broadcast of “Fox 5s Good Day New York” and at their Lincoln Center debut with their show, “From Pima Donna to Post-Madonna: How Italy and Italian Americans Influenced American Popular Music.”

In addition O Sole Trio was chosen to perform for New York State Comptroller John Liu and his guests for his event honoring Italian American heritage and culture.

Tickets may be purchased at the Powell and Cody chambers and the Meeteetse Visitor Center. Adults are $15 and seniors/students $12.

For more information call 587-6693.

O Sole Trio has been garnering raves for their fun blend of Italian opera and classic jazz. Incredible fun.

RENE’S Before leaving, remember safety first By: René Huge

As a child of the 1970s, I remember bouncing around freely, without a seat belt, inside our Buick LeSabre.

On roadtrips my brother and I would rambunctiously pass the time and eventually crash out lengthwise across the immense back seat and sleep while our mother would cozy up to dad on the front bench seat.

No one wore seat belts.

My first bicycle was a purple, sparkly Schwinn with apehanger handlebars and a white banana seat decorated with yellow daisies. How I loved that bike. It was the coolest bike ever. (No wonder I still to this day like to pedal.)

But did I wear a helmet back then? Heck, no. I don’t think they even existed.

We’ve all seen those Facebook posts that go something like this: ‘Share’ if you survived your childhood without wearing a helmet or a seat belt, or if you rode unsecured in the back of a pickup truck or drank from a garden hose and are still here to talk about it.

Yep, we did all that and more – and survived.

Today, you wouldn’t catch me dead (OK, well, maybe dead) snowboarding without

wearing a helmet. The idea of that sends fits of panic through me. Having had my bell rung on numerous occasions, I prefer not to inflame my brain by that sort of impact, if unnecessary.

And snowboarding without a helmet is completely unnecessary.

Or going for a mountain bike ride? I might as well go naked because that’s exactly how it would feel – like I had forgotten a key piece of apparel.

And yet we all did it as kids and most of us still are here to talk about it. Obviously there were a select number who did not pass through as fortunate as the rest of us, because we now have laws that mandate usage of some of these safety devices.

But that’s OK. These days when I see someone’s child unrestrained in a moving vehicle, I have to tell you, I’m flabbergasted. I believe the evidence in favor of their usage far outweighs any argument against and, thus, I cannot comprehend why a parent wouldn’t put their child into a childseat or in their seat belt.

Maybe people feel it’s an infringement of their rights or maybe they think, “Hey, we’re only going a couple of blocks.”

Maybe those folks don’t know that horrid statistic I heard decades ago – that most accidents happen within a mile of your home.

Remember that one? (If you

Buckle up. Wear a helmet. What’s the harm really? google it today, depending on whose research you review, the Internet will tell you it’s generally 5-25 miles – but close to home nonetheless.)

Buckle up. Wear a helmet.

What’s the harm really? Might smoosh your hair or wrinkle your coat?

Might take an added minute of listening to a child complain or scream?

I’m thinking that won’t matter in the end when your body doesn’t fly through the windshield and your brains remain intact.

I doubt you’ll hear a survivor say, “Well, that was stupid – I should have left my helmet at home.”

Safety first. Enjoy many more years of fun.

Ceramics exhibit at NWC Gallery An exhibit of work by eight ceramists from the Red Lodge Clay Center opens Tuesday, Feb. 24, with a 7 p.m. artists’ reception at Northwest Gallery.

This is the eighth year Red Lodge Clay Center ceramists have exhibited at NWC, bringing together artists with distinct styles from disparate parts of the country.

Titled “#RedLodgeClayCenter,” the show in Powell features a combination of functional and sculptural ceramics that includes wheelthrown and hand-built pieces.

Featured resident artists this year are Summer Carmack, Perry Haas, Jocelyn Howard and Kirk Jackson.

Viewers will find a spectrum of work that stretches from functional to purely fun and from colorful to rustic.

Carmack’s work falls under the functional category. She calls on memories of growing up in Mississippi as she designs wheel-thrown and hand-built porcelain “to seduce the viewer with graceful lines in form and clean, solid craftsmanship.” She said attention to detail

and fluid movement throughout each piece are meant to enchant the viewer with nostalgia for childhood and dress-up.

Haas is from Missoula, but his art is influenced by his ceramics studies in China and Korea. Concentrating on functional wood-fired ceramics, his current work focuses on how to express pressure and force. His large-scale platters are designed to express movement horizontally across the surface, allowing for cracks and fissures to occur. He credits his inspiration to the earth’s geology.

Howard of Edinboro, Pa., uses the human figure in her work as a vehicle for narratives involving themes of sexuality, gender identity, religion, adulthood and play.

She conjures fairy tale whimsy to reveal deeper, sometimes darker, struggles, seeking to expose hidden complexities and struggles.

The use of childhood objects reveals a more primal nature, she said, helping strip away the veneer acquired by adults.

Jackson of Lewis Center, Ohio, says he “revels in the objects

people surround themselves with and the rituals generated by those articles.

“Objects used for the daily cup of coffee or the annual social gathering with family and friends can express much about the individual,” he said, admitting his internal need to control and organize things around him plays into his creativity as well during the ceramic process.

Also contributing to the exhibit are clay center staffers Wesley Harvey, David Hiltner, Andrea Moon and Markus Urbanik. “#RedLodgeClayCenter” is displayed through March 13, in Northwest Gallery in the Cabre Building on campus. The gallery is open weekdays 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Thursdays 7-9 p.m. Admission is free.

In the stars Feb. 22-28 ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you’re less than enthusiastic for most of this week, don’t worry about it. Maybe it’s enough just to feel slightly curious.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are times for branching out, and then there are times for seeking the company of like minds. This is a week for the latter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The game you’ll play this week is an ancient one. Millions have sat down to the same board. Realizing how temporary this game is will help you enjoy it and play it better, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week features the equivalent of a flight simulator: a forum in which you can make mistakes that you’ll learn from without paying too high a cost for the experience.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The change you wish for will take more effort than that, but perhaps not as much effort as you think. Play the long game. This is more of a daily expenditure that will add up beautifully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to tap dance, sparkle and shine in order to be a worthy participant in the group. Just being there is enough. You’ll come across as more confident.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you haul the past around with you, it limits the options as to where you can move next and how fast you can get there. Handle it quickly, and be done with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone messes up occasionally. It’s not the instance of negative behavior that influences a relationship most; rather, it’s the ratio of negative to positive behavior that matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

This week you’ll get a glimpse of the happiness that’s to come in your own life -- a sign that you, too, are blossoming in some heroic way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can’t make the sun come out by wishing it was sunny. That’s the way it is with certain moods you go through this week.

They’ll pass.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You need more attention, affection and general care. Usually, the karmic way is that you give and then you get, but you’ve already paid in much. It’s a week to practice receiving.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your energy will be freed to increase your powers of self-discipline. It’s an excellent time to give yourself rules to help you present yourself in the way you want to be perceived.

If you were born this week the next 10 weeks are about taking charge of your space and your schedule.

March 1-7 ARIES (March 21-April 19). With all the possibilities, you may feel anxious about your next move. Once you get centered on your purpose, the dizziness will abate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Certain friends of yours are always more comfortable when the attention is flowing to them. Because they are not likely to change, decide how much you’re willing to give, and stick to that plan.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When people mean well, you can feel it. You give them a pass when they don’t hit the mark, because you know their intentions are true. Your graciousness will win you admirers this week.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Lately you’ve been in the habit of giving people more than they deserve. On Wednesday, consider cutting back the generosity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be imitating those who have what you want in hopes that you will gain similar advantages. Your ability to duplicate a good plan will work wonders.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Beware of the tendency to be satisfied with the wins made by your loved ones, friends and teammates. This is your week to implement a plan to engineer the change you wish for.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The argument you’ve been having on and off over the past few weeks is now getting old.

Thursday will open a window of good fortune in the area of relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can keep jealousy at bay by loving yourself the way you are. If that’s a hard place to get to, rest tight in the knowledge that jealousy can be a useful tool for showing you your desire.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Releasing feelings helps clear the way to a new experience. Allowing yourself the full range of emotion this week will be an emotional refreshment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have challengers this week. They’re the ones who believe you’re a formidable opponent, or they’re your teammates determined to help you be your best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your perfect match may not agree on what qualifies as a mess, but this person won’t mind getting messy with you, especially emotionally.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re deeper and more complex than even you can understand. This week is an opportunity to get to know you better. It’s not selfish; it’s necessary.

If you were born this week intriguing friends come into the picture this month and proceed to weave in and out of your year.

The Northwest Civic Orchestra is seeking violin, viola, cello, bass and horn players from the Big Horn Basin.

Orchestra looking for members Big Horn Basin musicians are invited to participate in an opportunity that’s rare for small town instrumentalists – playing in an orchestra.

The Northwest Civic Orchestra (NCO) is looking for violin, viola, cello and bass players as well as horn players and bassoonists.

“This is a community orchestra,” director Maurine Akin said.

“Musicians don’t need to play at a professional level to join. Most importantly, we share a love of music and a desire to perform occasionally.”

The NCO rehearses 6:30-9 p.m. Thursdays at Northwest College. Three to four performances are scheduled each year from September-May. NCO musicians take the summers off.

There is no charge to participate, but college credit is available for those interested.

Musicians of all ages are invited to join with the director’s approval.

To learn more, contact Akin, 272-7904 or maurine.akin@nwc. edu.
