Artist Bio By D.J. Grothe Name: Heather Tomasello Age: 43 Hometown: Omaha, Ne Medium/Style: Acrylics/Abstract What inspires and influences your work the most? “I am influenced most by music, usually runic or instrumental pieces and albums. Some of the bands I listen to regularly when I paint are Pictus, Warduna, and Danheim. I don’t always understand the words (when there ARE words), but I feel it deep within my soul.”

What has been your favorite piece to create? “My favorite piece to create is whichever one I’m creating at the moment. I love the process.” What are you currently working on? “I’m ALWAYS working on new paintings. When I’m not painting on the big canvases I love, I’m experimenting on smaller canvases. The last painting I finished was The Crow King, and I LOVE it. I really put a lot of myself into it.”

Where do you see your art in the future? “I don’t really know. I just want to make sure I’m still creating art in the future, regardless of where it goes.

Great flavor and tender grilled chicken make this a healthy choice full of flavor. For salads, we had to go with the Hawaii 5-0. It’s got grilled chicken, pineapple salsa, pico, bacon, tortilla strips, and your choice of dressing - a true tropical delight. This is made right, and full of flavor. If burgers and salads aren’t your thing, they also cook up a mean fish taco. It’s made with garlic aioli, cheddar cheese, and Herman’s Slaw, a twist on normal slaw, with vinegar instead of a creamy base.

Smitty’s Garage Something For Everyone

By Focus Omaha Despite the closing of the Oakview location, Hal Smith’s Oklahoma based Smitty’s Garage says that they still have plan. in place for growth locally. Dakota Jenkins, who has been elevated to the role of Area Partner and acted as General Manager of the Dodge location said, “We decided to put all of our eggs in one basket,” regarding the relocation of everything to the Dodge street store. He continued, “Profit margins caused the Oakview location to close. There were just so many stores closing around it.” He then referred to the closing of stores like Dick’s, Panera, and more in the same vicinity as examples. But not to worry, the Dodge Location at 7610 Dodge Street is still going strong, and with the transfer of many staff members from the Oakview location - including GM Justine Montgomery. - when the regulars do come over from the original location, they’ll be sure to see many of the same friendly faces. As Jenkins stated, “Everything is always changing- each market is different. Our core regulars have really made the difference.” They’re planning on new specials and menu items coming soon that will include milkshakes, hand-battered chicken, onion rings and more. They’ve also started to introduce some unique

fare, at least for most burger locations that include lamb, buffalo, turkey, and even quinoa to the menu. Some as regular items and others as specials. Smitty’s is a place that’s also kid friendly. In addition to video games, they also offer a free bomb pop for every kid’s meal.

We talked about their craft drinks earlier and they don’t disappoint. In addition to the staples including Old Fashioneds that are made the right way, they also have some tasty drinks which include their Tropical Smash. If you like coconut, you’ll love this. We sampled a 4809 Margarita that was stout and had a great finish plus a cherry limeade that taste like a Sonic Cherry Limeade with a kick.

Everything is good with cream cheese, and with all that sweetness it’s like a party in your mouth. We also tried the Hawaiian with Chicken.

Heat records tumbled around the Northern Hemisphere from California to Europe and the Middle East, with disastrous wildfires being sparked in some areas.

Other species that appear to have learned the practice by chance include chimpanzees in West Africa, macaques in Thailand and other species of capuchins in South America.

Where’s Summer?

Iceland has been on the opposite side of the hemispheric weather pattern that has brought Europe a scorching heart wave for weeks, with the island nation experiencing its grayest and wettest summer since 1914.

There is mounting evidence that a warmer Arctic is altering the strength and pattern of the jet stream, meaning when heat waves set in, they tend to last longer.

According to Icelandic meteorologist Trausti Jonsson, the high pressure blanketing the continent with heat is also driving cooler and wetter winds over the far North Atlantic.

The more frequent and intense heat waves are proving to be deadly for the vulnerable and elderly, with more than a dozen deaths already being blamed on the recent heat in Canada.

Long-range outlooks don’t offer much hope for Iceland’s struggling icecream vendors, swimming pools and campsites.

The rare sight of a southern right whale frolicking in New Zealand’s Wellington Harbour forced officials to postpone the city’s annual fireworks display. The untimely arrival of the marine mammal coincided with the Maori new year celebration known as Matariki.

One scientist believes she has solved the centuries-old mystery of how spiders can launch themselves into air and fly on silken threads for hundreds of kilometres at heights of about 4.5 km. Researcher Erica Morley at the University of Bristol found that Linyphiid spiders can detect electric fields, actually generate their own currents and use the fields to control their flights.

Concerns from experts that the flashes and sounds of the pyrotechnics could cause the whale to harm itself or the boats in the harbor loaded with people wanting to enjoy the festivities, prompted the event to be postponed for a week.

Several Bats Test Positive for Rabies DHHS reminds residents to avoid wild animals including bats and vaccinate pets

Lincoln - The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services reminds Nebraskans that bats are very active this time of year, which means the possibility of exposure to rabies increases. “Bats are a common carrier of rabies in Nebraska,” said Dr. Bryan Buss, State Public Health Veterinarian for DHHS. “Several bats have tested positive for rabies over the last three months, particularly in Lincoln where seven have tested positive year-to-date. Historically, late summer is our peak time for testing bats because of higher levels of bat activity. During these months the possibility of exposure to rabies increases so people should be cautious around bats and other wild animals.”

nurse sick, wild animals to health. Call animal control or an animal rescue agency for assistance. - Teach children never to handle unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic, even if they appear friendly. “Love your own, leave other animals alone” is a good principle for children to reduce the risk of contact with rabid animals. - Maintain homes and other buildings so bats can’t get inside. - If a bat is in your house, don’t let it outside until you talk to animal control or public health officials. If you can do it without putting yourself at risk for physical contact or being bitten, try to cover the bat with a large can or bucket, and close the door to the room.

Rabies cases in Nebraska 2018 – 12 animals tested positive for rabies year-to-date (8 bats, 2 skunks, 1 cat, and 1 horse)

In addition to bats, other wildlife such as skunks, foxes, coyotes and raccoons can have rabies and transmit it to people. Rabies is caused by a virus that affects the nervous system and is transmitted by the bite of an infected animal or if saliva from a rabid animal gets directly into an open wound or a person’s eyes, nose, or mouth. Rabies is generally fatal without preventive treatment. Help prevent the spread of rabies by following these tips: - Be a responsible animal owner. Keep vaccinations up-to-date for all dogs, cats, ferrets, and other animals you own. - Seek immediate veterinary assistance for your pet if it’s bitten by a wild animal or exposed to a bat. - Call your local animal control agency about removing stray animals in your neighborhood. - Do not touch, feed, or unintentionally attract wild animals with open garbage cans or litter. - Never adopt wild animals or bring them into your home. Do not try to

the bat and have it tested. - If you or a family member has been in close proximity to a bat, consult your doctor or local health department for assistance. - People often know when they’ve been bitten by a bat but its small teeth can make a bite mark difficult to find. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Try to safely capture the bat or call animal control, have the bat tested and seek medical advice.

Your Last Chance – Omaha Metalcore on the Road By Howard Schwartz Your Last Chance, also known as YLC, is not what you would term an overnight sensation. The Omaha band formed in 2012 essentially as an “idea” or a writing “project” band. Drummer Alex Sloan and vocalist-guitarist Andy Samani were joined by two other players who tossed around ideas, added another guitarist, and eventually produced YLS’s first EP Lost Ones in 2016. The band then toured for six months and began looking for new members as some of the previous players took different pathways in life. By last November the new lineup had formed with Sloan and Zamani joined by of vocalist Taylor Rothanzl, Jon Kuenning on guitars, and bass player Josh Bratton. That remains the lineup and Sloan expects it to remain that way.

In the beginning: “Essentially it just came down to us writing and recording,” Sloan recalled. They compiled about 20 songs and “found” themselves as a band. “What it came down to we first lost our guitar player,” Sloan remembered, as that player was seeking other goals. Kuenning was looking for a drummer and Sloan invited him to try out for YLC.

They all agreed it would be was their most recent Omaha show – aggressive and become heavier. and they are planning “a lot of travel.”

“It was good timing as Jon had just a ton of different ideas,” Sloan offered. Kuenning played a couple tours and it started to work out. They continued to write when Rothanzl just “came out of the woodwork” after previously playing in bands. He tried out and they were able to bond as “More direct in every aspect,” Sloan his talent soon showed it would fit. said. “Fear” was the first song they wrote and is one of the fastest songs “He’s learned our set,” Sloan said.

They will play literally anywhere – garages, basements, clubs – and they have Omaha-bases Aorta Music Management behind them. Aorta books the band so YLC can focus on the music. “It’s one less headache to deal with in a headache-ridden industry,” Sloan admitted. “The more shows we play out of town the better . . . You can play for five people one time and they next time you come back they’ll all bring a friend.” Overcome is available on all online platforms and in hard copy. With its second EP released, YLC has started writing its next recording, but, they are not at the point where they can make a living just by playing. They still have day jobs, so, the road will not go on forever, at least not in 2018. “At some point you’ve got to go home and do your laundry,” Sloan chuckled.

“We’re still really the best of friends.” Their work did not go unnoticed. Figueroa recently was recording at Warehouse Studios with Tom Ware when he learned The Jacks will be inducted into the Nebraska Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in February. He called the recognition unexpected and humbling.

He also wrote “Fallen Heroes” for Run for the Fallen event that honors fallen heroes and continues until August when they arrive at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on a journey that began in California. Figueroa is looking to record four or five more songs and then will put together a showcase of his originals. He is unsure if it will be done with a band or a one-man show.

“The record companies are focusing on putting the material out there. Publishing it . . . because I do multi-genre material.” That work includes an island tune and a rock tune, “I Don’t Want to Hear It.” He also is particularly proud of “Que Linda,” which is Spanish for “How Beautiful You Are.” It previously was done as an 80s rock version with The Jacks but is now done acoustically. The songs was written for his daughter.

“That will be the project for the year,” he confirmed. “It’s a slow process but steady,” At this point the veteran performer is not making any more commitments, but you can count on him continuing to develop his art. “I can’t see the future,” Figueroa emphasized “I’m just going to keep on writing and follow that dream I’ve always followed.” For more on Bobby Figueroa: https://www.facebook.com/robert.b. figueroa.7 https://www.facebook.com/bobby. fig.752

Third, the new policy will save both private and government resources. On the taxpayer side, the previous policy added needless paperwork. On the government side, the IRS has been forced to devote scarce resources to redacting donor names and addresses (as required by federal law) before making Schedule B filings public. Now, the IRS will no longer require personally-identifiable donor information that the IRS does not regularly need and the public does not see. The public information will continue to be available, just as before. The IRS’s new policy will relieve thousands of organizations of an unnecessary regulatory burden, while better protecting sensitive taxpayer information and ensuring appropriate transparency.
