pages of fish. I’d draw those and then do reptiles or something like that.” While Audiss has been drawing as long as he can remember and even studied graphic design for a few years, he didn’t start pursuing art full-time till 2010.

Josh Audiss’ World

By Jesse D. Stanek Chances are, if you’re the kind of person who stops to grab the weekly paper, the kind who supports local art and seeks out interesting music and conversation, you’ve already seen Josh Audiss’ iconic-one-of-a-kind artwork. More than likely you’ve seen one of his old timey lady profiles, smoke dancing around the frame or a sea creature, half-fairy tale the other half existential questioning, on a tee-shirt around town. Many of Audiss’ unforgettable images appear on shirts from downtown boutique Curbside Clothing. In my mind, his singular style has helped to define Curbside’s image and become a recognizable face for the brand. You may have seen his work at a festival, he and his wife Shelby spend a fair bit of time traveling to different gatherings to vend art. His art has a musical quality and has been featured on albums and concert posters. If you haven’t had the chance to check out his work you’re in for a treat, a visual feast inhabited by magical creatures, pin-up princesses and mythical landscapes. His digital painting Wayfarer stands out to me for it’s dimension, scape and the mood from the colors. A curving of large trees, somewhat menacing but mainly mysterious, forms a hallway tunnel, blues, purples and pinks curve to meet, strange spaces of purplish-pink and orange fill the upper-right corner amidst the almost liquid branches. On the path below, wedged between Suess-ian roots, a single traveler makes way, casting a foreboding shadow many times his own size. The overall feeling is exciting, yet calming in a purposefully weird way, the setting Sun at trail’s beginning offering just a bit of night before day

comes again. The possibilities as endless as the trail our wayfarer wanders. Audiss’ work is ethereal, it has a dreamlike quality, just this side of waking but a touch foggy. He is influenced by the classic imagery of the late 1800s and early 1900s, nodding to “The Golden Age of Illustration” and artists like Edmund Dulac. Audiss fills his canvases with worlds that are serenely knowable, as if just off the page of the fantasy books we were read as children. If Little Red Riding Hood had a hung a right instead of following the trail all the way to Grandma’s crib, she may have come upon a stream, with a monkey on a branch reading by candle light, the full moon illuminating the scene. The monkey smokes a pipe and holds his place in the book with a skull. Some of his pieces would have worked well as Yes album covers, psychedelic mystery with a touch of the unknowable looming. “I like doing that kind of stuff,” Audiss said in a recent interview. “Stuff with no specific meaning, but it just kind of tells its own little story.”

A recent work of his is featured as the cover for Matt Cox’s new record “High Places.” Blue Mountains rise in the background, lit by a warm orange-pink late afternoon sky, the script and frame recalling a more classic time, a time when you dressed up to see a show and traveling town-to-town took a Hell of a lot more out of you then it does now. It already has a special place on my record shelves. Much of Josh Audiss’ art is available to view and purchase at his website joshaudissart.com, Shirts can be purchased at Curbside Clothing, both online at curbsideclothing.com and in person at 505 S 11th St.

Many of Audiss’ images feature the Sun and Moon, when asked if this was purposeful or just kind of happened he said “I’ve definitely noticed the Sun and Moon. I use a lot of different symbols of polarity, like night and day. But often, in simpler terms, it just a good design element. Throw a moon in there, call it a day. Or I guess,” he continued with a laugh, “call it a night.” Animals play a strong role in Audiss’ work: curious sea creatures, the aforementioned wizened monkey, reptiles and birds. The creatures who live in these strange Audiss-worlds are all drawn immaculately, in a way both real and surreal, obvious attention to detail but still just a bit of their own story. “When I was real little I would look up pages in the encyclopedia and just draw. Like if you go to F, there are all these different kinds of fish, just

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.

Diary of a Changing World

By Steve Newman

Mosquito Thirst

Mosquitoes appear to be more prone to bite during droughts and in arid climates because the insects need blood to stay hydrated, as well as for its protein content, new research reveals.

Vog & Pele’s Hair

Volcanic smog from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano blew southwestward for thousands of kilometres to Guam and the Marshall Islands. Meteorologists warned islanders with respiratory problems to stay indoors to avoid exposure to the “vog.”

Alberto

Lead researcher Chris Holmes believes that climate change could make periods of drought more frequent, increasing the health threat posed by mosquitoes. Happy Captives? A controversial study suggests captive dolphins can be as “happy” as those swimming free in the wild, and also appear to look forward to human interaction.

5.1 Mekunu +49° Jacobabad, Pakistan

A team from the University of Cincinnati says the discovery could lead to new ways to fight mosquitoborne diseases, such as malaria, West Nile virus, dengue and Zika. While the stagnant pools of water that form when it rains produce ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, the disease-carrying pests are likely to become more aggressive when they dry up.

Sea by a record-breaking hot summer season. The country’s unusual warmth was largely generated by what meteorologists term a “marine heat wave,” which has seen water temperatures as much as 6 degrees Celsius above normal. The rare appearance of the Queensland groper, also known as the giant grouper, has startled New Zealand divers, who fear the fish won’t survive once temperatures cool to near normal.

Tropical Cyclones

The strongest tropical cyclone on record to ever strike Oman killed at least 13 people and triggered disastrous flash floods near the sultanate’s third-largest city of Salalah. Cyclone Mekunu lashed the arid country with winds of over 170 km/h. • Subtropical Storm Alberto deluged parts of Cuba with more than 250 mm of rainfall before striking the Florida Panhandle.

Officials plan to kill every cow on farms where the Mycoplasma bovis bacteria has been found, even if some of the animals are healthy. Since the disease isn’t a threat to the food chain, most of the culled cows will be slaughtered at processing plants and used for beef. Farmers will be compensated, but only a small portion of the country’s 10 million cows are affected.

Luther James Band – Blues Jams and More

of hard work.

He’s not one of the new kids on the block. Folks around Omaha have been listening to Luther James for a couple decades. It started in the early 1990s when he founded and then served as the front man for the Shaky Boys. They gained exposure during the 1990s on the Todd & Tyler radio show. Membership and musical changes followed in the ensuing years until their found a comfort zone in what can be termed rockin’ electric blues. Musical reference points include Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers Band, and Billy Preston.

Most of his friends were in bands and his uncle was a big influence who gave him his first guitar. James was still in his early teens when that happened. Let It Be was the first album he played along to, learning his craft, owning the album on vinyl and using a songbook to follow the music.

By Howard Schwartz

James fondly remembered how he was drawn into a life of music. “Seeing The Beatles and playing Three Dog Night back in the high school days and junior high,” he said. “My environment allowed me.”

Born in Gothenburg, Nebraska, he attended high school in Kansas City, Kansas, before moving back to NebrasPhoto by Justin Barnes ka.

So, at a point where he could take it easy, he pushes forward with something to prove, and a deeper motivation. James does all the writing for the band. “It usually started with a hook line with me – telling my story around it.” What keeps him going? “Just watching people enjoy what I do, and appreciate what I’m doing,” James figured. In the late 1990s he tried to book The Shaky Boys, an original band – but folks wanted cover bands at the time. It has changed.

at Barnes Photography continues writing music and watching people enjoy it, especially on the Thursday night blues jams he hosts at The Rusty Nail in west Omaha. “It just fell into place four years ago,” James recalled. The gig moved from the Grant Street Bar and Grill around then and helped get him going after the cancer scare. The jams also work well as a rehearsal. His wife, Karel, joins him for that as well, helping work the crowd and promote the band. “It’s awesome dude. She’s a meter,” he said in description of her drumming abilities. “She’s like a time machine.” It’s also fun, James pointed out, and there is no bickering in the band. “People love it to pieces . . . You can’t go wrong.” Why does he chose the blues? It seems to be a natural growth out of things he’s played in the past. “Southern influences and Allman Brothers,” he acknowledged. “Albert King.” He mentioned Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter and Robert Cray as well, with Joe

Bonamassa as a current influence. The best thing the band does is “Entertain” he said without hesitation. The Luther James Band also gives back to the community, having played numerous charity gigs for organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Youth Emergency Services, and the Open Door Mission. The Luther James Band also is a sponsor of Blues Ed and a member of the Omaha Blues Society. The next step is to record. “I’m going to take it to the studio and create a product,” James stated. Then he will pass that around and “document my life.” A country album also is in the works and that, he promised, will be more of a money maker.

Bellevue Singer’s First Single Arrives This Friday By Andy Roberts

It’s a big step for the Bellevue East graduate, just two years out of high school and enthusiastically pursuing music as her career. Music, however, has always been a big part of her life. “I’ve been singing on stage since I was four,” she recalled. “I just found my niche there.”

She acknowledged started playing piano when she was eight and sang in high school choirs. “Music has just been a huge part of my life,” she said, starting piano at the age of eight. Sahs considers her voice her main instrument, adding guitar two years ago. “I’m really excited,” Sahs told Focus. It’s That four-year-old debut? It came at her great aunt and uncle’s wedding. called “Starstruck” she admitted it is based on a true story. “It’s about being “I started out as a wedding singer,” she starstruck by your first love.” laughed.

Sahs met Campbell through a in her hometown Sahs attended the mutual friend who plays in his band. prestigious Tom Jackson Onstage Success boot camp for aspiring artists in Nashville. She was among those selected to perform in the showcase and was encouraged to continue her pursuit of music. If you want to know what Kaylyn Sahs sounds like, you don’t have long to wait. Her first single is set to released Friday on iTunes and Spotify.

Recently Sahs has performed at some of this area’s top venues such as the Ralston Arena, SumTur Amphitheater, Sarpy County Fair, Sokol Auditorium, The Waiting Room, and this past weekend at Taste of Omaha 2018. Fall is expected to see her first EP. With five original songs in her repertoire, she knows more work needs to be done in that area. “I’m waiting to write more originals,” she stated, with life experience providing most of the material. The subject matter, however, can vary. “Usually I start with a hook or with the title of the song,” Sahs offered. “It’s

two upcoming shows. She is set to perform on June 28th at Washington Park in Bellevue in an event sponsored by the Omaha Musicians Association. A July 6th show is booked for Soaring Wings Vineyard in Springfield.

“I have a song that’s actually a tribute to first responders,” Sahs pointed out. It’s called “First In” and was co-written with Tim Bezy, a photographer and songwriter also based in Bellevue with help from her dad.

Those are nice steps in a career that is really just getting underway.

Her dad is not a first responder, but an aunt and many family friends are. “It hits home from a family perspective.” With a sound some have described as “pure gold” Sahs is a bit more clear about her chosen genre. “I would say pop country. “That was a hard question a year ago,” she admitted. Her style is one that continues to evolve, as she sometimes plays solo and other times with a band. “If I could play with one (a band) all the time I’d do that.” Sahs has yet to establish a regular lineup but will play with a band at

Federal Reserve Board asks for comment on proposed rule to simplify and tailor compliance requirements relating to the “Volcker rule” The Federal Reserve Board on Wednesday asked for comment on a proposed rule to simplify and tailor compliance requirements relating to the “Volcker rule.” By statute, the Volcker rule generally prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading and from owning or controlling hedge funds or private equity funds. Since regulations implementing the Volcker rule were finalized in December 2013 by five federal agencies, experience has shown that the complexity of the rule has created compliance uncertainty for firms subject to the rule. The proposed changes are intended to streamline the rule by eliminating or modifying requirements that are not necessary to effectively implement the statute, without diminishing the safety and soundness of banking entities. “The agencies responsible for implementing the rule see many

opportunities to simplify it and improve it in ways that will allow firms to conduct appropriate activities without undue burden and without sacrificing safety and soundness,” Chairman Jerome H. Powell said. “The proposal will address some of the uncertainty and complexity that now make it difficult for firms to know how best to comply, and for supervisors to know that they are in compliance.” The proposed changes were jointly developed by all five agencies responsible for administration of the Volcker rule--the Federal Reserve Board, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, the proposed changes would: •

•

Tailor the rule’s compliance requirements based on the size of a firm’s trading assets and liabilities, with the most stringent requirements applied to firms with the most trading activity; Provide more clarity by revising the definition of “trading account” in the rule, in part by relying on commonly used accounting definitions; Clarify that firms that trade within appropriately developed internal risk limits are engaged in permissible market making or underwriting activity; Streamline the criteria that apply when a banking entity seeks to rely on the hedging exemption from the proprietary trading prohibition; Limit the impact of the Volcker

•

rule on the foreign activity of foreign banks; and Simplify the trading activity information that banking entities are required to provide to the agencies. “The specific elements of this proposal are drawn from experience--the shared experience of all five responsible agencies and of policymakers at those agencies with wide and varied backgrounds during the four years that the Volcker rule regulations have been in force,” said Randal K. Quarles, the Board’s Vice Chairman for Supervision. “By focusing the application of the rule on those firms with the highest levels of activity covered by the statue, and by clarifying and simplifying

the compliance regime, we can promote safety and soundness while reducing unnecessary burdens.” The recently enacted Economic Growth, Regulatory Reform, and Consumer Protection Act made several changes to the statutory Volcker rule provisions. Among other things, the Act exempted community banks--firms with less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets and with total trading assets and liabilities that are not more than five percent of total consolidated assets--from the Volcker rule restrictions. Formal implementation of the Volcker rulerelated changes contained in the Act will occur in a separate rulemaking by the agencies.
