Through July 29 American Adventure Durham Museum, 801 S 10th Street Omaha, NE 68108 info@durhammuseum.org Do you have what it takes to survive? Take a step back into history to find out. In 1607, settlers landed on the shores of Virginia and called it home, creating the first permanent European

settlement. Little did they know that less than half of them would survive the year in this new wilderness. Minotaur Mazes’ American Adventure takes visitors on an immersive, educational role-play adventure that asks people to conquer one great challenge: survive the year as one of the original Jamestown colonists. Sound easy? Think again. Only 38 of the 104 settlers survived. But don’t worry – you’re not tied to their destiny. You can beat the odds and determine your fate – it all depends on the choices you make…and a bit of luck.

knowledge and ingenuity but also the abilities and priorities of chosen identity. The American Adventure experience quickly reveals the reality of what Jamestown’s settlers faced, but also how everyday decisions and interactions with the environment can be a matter of life and death. Even if you don’t survive, try again! There’s a new adventure every time you enter the exhibit!

Blending historical accuracy and the complexities of real life and death decisions, American Adventure delivers a truly unique and effective learning experience. Visitors choose a unique identity of one the Jamestown colonists and track a series of life choices on an easy to use abacus representing “life points” for health, wealth, food, and morale. You have to maintain all of them to “survive” the exhibit. Visitors will encounter four content-rich “Season Galleries” and engage in hands-on activities that result in choices relevant to their character. Survival is based on visitor

Name: Frank Costanzo Age: 63 Hometown: Omaha Medium/Style: Pop Art/Satire/Rock & Roll

the Nebraska Governor’s Mansion in 2012. For that exhibition, I did a piece in the style of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club featuring Nebraska people. It took off, the World Herald ran a story on it, and I sold a lot of prints of that. I was later approached to do a similar piece for Berkshire Hathaway’s 50th anniversary featuring Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and all of their managers.”

When was your first exhibition? “After my career with Yellowpages ended in 2007, I messed with trying to do nothing and started painting. A friend of mine had an open spot at the Old Market Artists Gallery, and I started displaying work there in 2009. I was approached for a few different things, like the yearly exhibition at

Where do you see your art in the future? “I’d like to get in to some additional galleries. I just had a gallery in New York, down in SoHo, that bought a lot of my political stuff. I’d like to spread out to some bigger shows. I was in a gallery out in Santa Monica, but that closed. Truthfully, I think I do a lot better in continued on page 14

Frank Costanzo

What inspires and influences your work the most? “I’ve always been a nut for rock and roll, and I’ve always had a weird sense of humor. My biggest inspirations would be Mad Magazine, Walt Disney, Norman Rockwell, and 60s rock and roll posters. I’ve always incorporated a lot of lettering into my artwork. I had a 35 year career doing advertising-type work, so that’s something you see in my stuff.”

What are you currently working on? “I did just finish a rock and roll painting, it’s about the size of a record album. It features 24 rock icons, but only shows their eyes. I call it ‘Eye-cons’. Music holds up, I think, and goes along with the shapes and colors I like to make. My mind’s always going, and you never know what’s gonna pop in there. Once again, it goes back to just having fun.”

Frank Costanzo

What was your favorite piece to create? “I don’t know that there’s a favorite piece. I have a four painting set of the Beatles in acrylic that I really enjoy, and of my dog on a bicycle with Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls. I’ve really enjoyed doing the political work lately. I’ve done stuff with Obama and Mitt Romney, and Trump’s been a popular topic lately. I don’t know if there’s really a motivation behind it, but I do like to hide things in my paintings to see if anyone catches them. If I get a reaction, I guess that’s a good thing. I’m not on any agenda, by any means. I’m just keeping myself amused.”

Artist Bio

Focus | March 28 - April 3 | Volume 2 Issue 13 13

Omaha; it seems like people have more money to spend on art here. I don’t think there’s any one way I’m heading with my work, and I know I’ll never run out of ideas if the political landscape stays like it is.” Who’s the artist, living or dead, you admire most? “I’m not sure if you can consider him an artist or just an illustrator, but I’d have to say Walt Disney. The same goes for Norman Rockwell, whose work people are really just now appreciating as art.” Advice to an aspiring artist? “I’ve got an eleven year old kid that I took under my wing, and he’s been doing really well with his work. I just tell him to keep drawing and drawing and drawing. Keep doing what you’re doing, and make sure to put yourself out there.”

Favorite quote? “Ain’t never too old to rock and roll.”

Diary of a Changing World

By Steve Newman Ice Hazard

Climate change is creating a greater danger for ships navigating the North Atlantic as icebergs from a shrinking polar ice cap drift southward in late spring, new research finds. During last May and June, Arctic sea ice surged southward through newly opened Arctic channels and clogged the normally open seas around Newfoundland. That trapped many vessels and sank others when the ice punctured their hulls. A study headed by Arctic climate researcher David Barber of the University of Manitoba concludes that the phenomenon is likely to go on for at least 20 years as the Arctic becomes more and more ice-free in summer.

Earthquakes

The Indonesian capital of Jakarta and the rest of western Java were jolted by a magnitude 5.2 offshore quake. There were no reports of damage. • Earth movements were also felt in Taiwan, southwestern Iran, upstate New York and Vermont, and in northcentral Oklahoma.

Volcanic Poison

Toxic gas belched by an Indonesian volcano sent 30 people to hospital, with some experiencing vomiting and difficulty in breathing.

Officials closed the popular tourist destination of Mount Ijen in East Java and halted mining operations. Mount Ijen is famous for its thick, hardened layer of sulphur. Intrepid miners individually dig up the element and carry it out on their backs for use in a variety of products, ranging from cosmetics to matchsticks.

Tropical Cyclones

Eliakim

At least 17 people were killed on Madagascar in floods and mudslides triggered by Cyclone Eliakim. • Cyclone Marcus raked Darwin and other areas of northern Australia before strengthening offshore.

Bovine Split

A runaway Polish cow that joined a herd of bison in January is no longer roaming free on the range. Bison expert Rafal Kowalczyk of the Polish Academy of Science photographed the bovine mismatch earlier this year. He says the cow was recently captured, apparently by a farmer. Kowalczyk had warned that mating between the cow and a bison could have been dangerous for the cow because the offspring may have been too large for her to carry to term. Kowalczyk also worried that any surviving calf could have polluted the gene pool of Poland’s endangered bison population.

destroyed at least 90 homes. Such wildfires have historically occurred in Australia between December and February. “Sadly, fires like this, well into autumn, are an increasing part of the southern Australian experience, as we move further towards climate disruption,” said Grant Wardell-Johnson of Curtin University’s biodiversity and climate department. Fire seasons are now 19 percent longer on average worldwide than they were in the 1970s.

Rodent-Free

After a 125-year infestation, mice have been eradicated from an extremely remote sub-Antarctic outcropping known as Antipodes Island. The rodents were accidentally introduced in 1893 from a shipwreck or by seal hunters, and they have since ravaged the island’s unique land birds, causing local extinctions. But New Zealand’s “Million Dollar Mouse” project, launched in 2014, has exterminated the more than 200,000 mice that plagued the 2,100-hectare

finale by a 2-0 margin. If there’s any good news as we go to press, it’s that the Huskers play Creighton tonight, the Blujays currently have a 15th ranked RPI, but the Huskers are 9-1 this season in games when they’re coming off a loss. Nebraska’s record is currently 41-21 when playing at Creighton and Nebraska leads the overall series 8550-2.

By Focus Omaha Omaha Mavericks

Creighton Bluejays

The Creighton Bluejays took a doubleheader from Illinois State on Friday, winning 5-1 and 7-5 before Saturday’s game was cancelled due to weather. That moved CU’s record on the year to 12-6, and includes a series win over Minnesota, a blowout of the Big 12’s Kansas State, and a split with old rivals Wichita State. Unlike last year’s team that started slowly and finished a game under .500, this team can score some runs and has some power. That was evident in Michael Emodi’s walk-off homer to beat Wichita.

The Mavericks (9-13, 5-1 Summit League) fell short of a sweep over Oral Roberts (13-9, 4-2) as the Golden Eagles bounced back with a 16-8 win at Seymour Smith Park. Omaha was led by Thomas DeBonville on Sunday as he went 3-for-5 at the plate with a pair of RBIs and his second homer of the year. Keil Krumweide smacked a two-run homer in the fifth to take a 4-0 lead. ORU bounced back the following inning to take the lead with five runs on four hits and probably more importantly, three errors. The teams continued to pile up the runs, with The Golden Eagles getting three homers in the top of the ninth to lock up the win. Omaha was to resume play on Tuesday at Kansas State.

Next action for the Jays was set for Tuesday in Omaha.

Nebraska Baseball

The Husker baseball team has had less than a stellar start to the season. Their record is currently 13-11 overall and 1-2 in the Big Ten after losing two of three at Minnesota in the Big Ten opener. NU won the second game, 8-2, but lost the series opener, 5-1, and the

Tournament Thoughts By Focus Omaha It’s no secret the college basketball season didn’t end the way a lot of Creighton and Nebraska fans had hoped. How close were they to something truly memorable? A team Nebraska trounced in Lincoln in early January, Michigan, is in the Final Four. Another team in the Final Four, Kansas, won in Lincoln on a last second shot early in the season. Villanova, beaten in Omaha by Creighton is back in the Final Four. The team that replaced the Jays when they left The Valley, Loyola of Chicago, is in the Final Four and is coached by CU alum Porter Moser. The Bluejays and Cornhuskers are spectators this weekend – but remember the margin between tournament success and frustration can be painfully thin.

Alabama to The Good Life; Getting to Know High Up By Jesse D Stanek Christine Fink and her semi-family band of smooth-soul-songsmiths have been quietly making waves for a few years now, preparing the music-loving world for the slam-force drop of the band’s first full length effort “You Are Here” (Team Love Records). Consisting of Fink’s older sister Orenda (Azure Ray, Closeness, Art in Manilla), her brother in law Todd Fink (The Faint, Closeness), Josh Soto and Matt Focht (Head of Femur, Pablo’s Triangle) you’d half expect the band to be fairly stooped in the indie nuances Saddle Creek/Team Love acts are known for. Not the case. There is an indie sensibility to the band’s overall sound sure, lush over-produced arrangements and radio-friendly singles are nowhere to be

found on the full-length, however this record and this band owe more to the slow, sensual hypnotic burn of Muscle Shoals and Motown. A heady comparison to be sure but with one listen to Fink’s dynamic vocals you’ll understand the comparison. You might think touring the country in a van with your sister would be a bit much for most siblings, a little too close for somebody you can’t get much closer to anyway. Not the case with the Sisters Fink. “It’s been great,” Christine said in a recent phone interview while the band geared up for one of their two performances in Boise. “We spend a lot of time together anyway so we know our boundaries. We sort of dance around each other like bartenders. It means a lot to see her proud of me. She’s been a huge inspiration to me. She forged this path, doing it purposefully and intelligently. I started on this kind of late in life and that was totally because of her encouragement.” A voice as large as Fink the-younger’s wouldn’t be able to curl up inside then explode outward without the right kind of backing music. Cyndi Lauper never worked with the likes of Camper Van Beethoven and Sharon Jones finally found the sonic backdrop for her vocals with The Dap Kings, a large scale band schooled primarily in jazz, funk and soul. It’s on this warmer, richer palette where High Up is able to execute at its peak. Not that the band is striving to be the Dap Kings or even Booker T & The MGs. This is where the whole indie sensibility thing comes uniquely into play: sparse arrangements, singular horn blasts, guitars reminiscent of The 13th Floor Elevators, razor-sharp insightful lyrics, keyboards at once both strangely retro and yet like meeting an old friend for the first time. But don’t let that fool ya, the Dusty Springfield flourishes, the early Marvin Gaye straightforward runs, the sonic gold that made Aretha America’’s songbird, these touches flavor every aspect of the debut record. “You Are

Focus | March 28 - April 3 | Volume 2 Issue 13

Here” is simply put, a fun album. It sounds equally as good blaring in your car barreling down the highway as it does serving as a backdrop for Sunday morning housework. Producer-extraordinaire Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk) works his trademark magic and keeps every track unique while keeping the whole record coherent all the while. Perhaps what Mogis does best behind the mixer is leave little bits and pieces to be discovered with each listen. And Fink’s vocals, goddamn the woman can sing. Her voice is powerful yet not overbearing, she delivers with a James Brown-esque confidence yet leaves just enough room for true emotion to seep through and tug those heartstrings. Interestingly enough, the majority of the lyrics were written by Orenda with her little sister in mind. The fit is effortless, you’re not doubting

Christine’s sincerity when she sings the lines. A sibling’s knowing, that familial intimacy born of the same seed is a truly powerful place for observation. “Orenda really does the lion’s share of thee writing,” Christine said. “She sort of conceptualizes with me in mind. I mean, being sisters she obviously knows me really well. I’ll come in and say ‘I wouldn’t say it like that’ and we’ll work off that. The rest of the band then comes in and we kind of flush it out. I’m really grateful to have such an incredibly talented team.” The cut “You Can’t Give Up On Me” pulls at some forgotten hurt you maybe thought best left alone but in turn find cathartic to walk back through. “Alabama to The Basement” is the inyour-face rocker, a single if the record has one and definitely manages to leave a solid imprint on your memory (I’ve been humming it enough my

co-workers would probably recognize the song on their first listen). “The song “Two Weeks” was re-recorded for the record.” she said. “More people actually know it than I realized. We’re at the weird place for a band where not many people purposefully come to our shows so it’s surreal to see people know the song.” One song in particular, “Blue Moon” is especially close to Christine’s heart and she sings it with aplomb, dancing between a light, constant sadness and the beautiful sunrise always just around the corner but easily forgotten about amidst darker emotions. “It’s really nice to see that song reaching other people the way it reaches me,” Fink said. “There’s still a really big stigma

surrounding mental illness. It’s tendrils reach into every aspect of our lives. People aren’t really honest about it either. People don’t want to be treated with kids gloves. But you know, it’s OK to ask for forgiveness for things we might have done, it’s OK to be honest about feeling these things.” High Up plays The Slowdown Saturday March 31st with Whispertown and Jake Bellows. Doors open at 8pm and show is at 9pm. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 day of show.

Lincoln’s Matriarch of Rock – Jumpin’ Kate and the Naked Reserves

Logan was born in Lincoln and raised in Omaha until her high school years when the family moved to Salina, Kansas. She returned to Lincoln for college, graduating from Nebraska Wesleyan and doing some graduate work at UNL and working.

“I was a school teacher, a public school teacher here in Lincoln for about 13 years,” she recalled. Then it was off to Las Vegas for her “adult adventure” as a singer-songwriter. She’s been writing for 25 years and has 11 albums. Her Jumpin’ stage name comes from her dynamic stage presence. “I had the time of my life,” she admitThere are musicians who have legend- ted. Logan found the players there ary backing bands. Bruce Springsteen she thought could go professional and has the E Street Band, Booker T had tour, but “being a Taurus” she makes the MGs, Elvis Costello has had a few, plans and had a five-year plan for Las Tom Petty had the Heartbreakers, Vegas. and Motown singers had The Funk Brothers. While thinking about what to do and where to go next, she returned to LinLincoln-based “Jumpin” Katie Logan coln to care for a couple ailing friends. has the Naked Reserves. One of them survived and the other didn’t, but Logan ended up staying in “Which means I have a string of players Lincoln and getting another teaching on reserve . . . who will try to play job – this time in preschool as opposed anything on the spot,” she said. “The to the earlier junior high job. regular band is me with whoever is available to play on the date.” Logan is now “happily rooted” at Di mensions Education, a group that was So the band can vary from gig to gig, for years affiliated with the Arbor Day but her dynamic personality does Foundation.

Teaching may pay the bills, but music provides the thrills. She comes to performing naturally. “My whole family is musical,” Logan said. Her parents sing and her sibling play instruments. She started on piano and then went to violin before getting a guitar as a teenager and learning three chords from her sister. In college she played with the Nebraska Wesleyan Symphony

“I’ve got music in my head all the time,” she noted. “I started writing songs in college.” Those songs reached the ears of her friends who encouraged her to do more. Logan began playing benefits, at what was then the Zoo Bar with Big Dave and the Turbans. That made her sing loud because of their less-thanstellar sound system.

That was back in the days when you could “put posters on telephone polls,” she recalled. “People still remember the name of that band because I just plastered the city.”

Logan was invited to sing in a reggae band but at first didn’t want to be the “white lady” singing the black Jamaican music just because he could. As she learned more about Bob Marley and his music she felt the message really fit her sensibility and agreed to do it. “That’s how I learned how to belt out a song and I found my really big voice,” Cool Riddum was the name of that band, which learned whole albums. she chuckled. “We are still together,” she noted, and today they are called Cool Roots. Then someone handed her money for the performance, which was a plus. Lo- gan started her own original band and “Americana,” is how she would label playing gigs became a regular event for her music these days. “It’s kind of hard Jumpin’ Kate and the Rollover Sisters. to categorize music any more . . . Most of my songs either have some sort of “I didn’t grow up wanting to be a song- personal politics or world politics with a good beat.” writer. It just kind of emerged.”

THE SAID MANTICS In many, she said, she is asking the country’s leaders to do the right thing. Logan can be expected to continue to perform and record, sitting in with other bands, with one version or another of the Naked Reserves, or as a solo act. “I’m halfway through recording my 12th album,” she disclosed. “That’s kind of amazing to me, that I have that.” The title of one song: “Trusting in the Universe.” As Logan put it: “I’ve got positive things to say.”
