On top of that, the painting sold rather quickly, too!” What are you currently working on? “I recently finished a painting, Esprit de Jeunesse/Youthful Mind, and exhibited it for the first time at a collaborative show.

life is to get back together with our fans as O-Town. It’s one of the biggest blessings. My dad always said that if you get a second chance you have to make the best of it.”
unique challenges are there to being an icon in the community? LB: It was a very unique experience. At the time it was the death of your career, and I was so young. Normal kids are just finding out who they are. Many don’t have to deal with it. It was scary and lonely because I didn’t have anyone to talk to at the time. I don’t know that I would have been an activist if I had stayed in my community. My husband and I love sharing what we have. Hopefully, being so open about my family will help others to come out.
We laughed about the names that people made fun of the boy bands with which included Blow Town, ‘N-Stink, and The Backdoor Boys. Underwood mused, “We had all of the derogatory names that we could think of copyrighted so every time people made shirts or used these names we would make money on them or shut them down.”
They’re For Real By the Focus Staff
Formed out of the first season of MTV-produced and ABC aired reality TV series, Making the Band in 2000, the American boy band O-Town consist of Erik-Michael Estrada, Trevor Penick, Jacob Underwood, and Dan Miller. The lineup originally included Ashley Parker Angel and Ikaika Kahoano, but Angel refused to participate in the 2013 reunion and Kahoano dropped out of the group and was replaced by Miller. Underwood talked to Focus about his MTV experience. “I was 19, we’re all about a year apart. They were running these ads on the radio about boy bands. My friends were making fun of me saying you would be great!” he said. “So, my friends (without my knowledge) sent in a demo of me . . . I had to decide on this or college.” While he originally decided to join the band, Underwood continued, “I eventually got my business degree. I’m working on finishing my master’s after the band is finished. We have a new album we’re working on right now.” Underwood also had some advice for youngsters who are thinking about becoming involved in the music industry. “You really want to have a good mentor that you trust. We weren’t even a unit and didn’t know each other . . . I took things too seriously.” And about getting back together, “The best thing that we’re able to do in our
The message for their latest Pop 2000 Tour is simple, Underwood said. “It’s half nostalgia and half what we’re doing now. Our fans that have been following us know that today it’s all about the in his Rolls Royce for the audition in party.” 1995? He also talked about their most popular hit to date and his personal favorites, “All or Nothing” is still the one that brings tears to people’s eyes. “There’s a sea of people singing. It’s amazing to see how it’s resonated with people. ‘Buried Alive’ and ‘Chasing after You’ are fun also.”
LB: It was pretty incredible. At 16 I didn’t even know what a Rolls Royce was. I’ll never forget when Justin Timberlake was on the luggage belt waiting for me at the airport. He already had a swagger way back then.
Focus: What was it like to be such a big success at such a young age, coming from a small town, (Laurel, Mississippi) The band is currently anxiously waiting and what were the unique struggles? to find out if their song, “Chasin’ after You” will be used for the promos of the LB: In the beginning, I felt like the newly rebooted Charmed series. Check biggest we would get was to play out the video for it and “Skydive” on at the parks at Disney or Universal. YouTube. These guys are still doing it My biggest dream at the time was and these videos and songs will be sure to go to Ole’ Miss (The University of to surprise many. Mississippi) and become a lawyer. It just kept getting bigger and bigger. You get really great support coming from a small town. My best friend from high school just moved in with me.
Pop Music Legend Lance Bass on Life, Love, Dick Clark and The Huskers By the Focus Staff
Lance Bass of 1990s boy band sensations NSYNC takes the stage in his new role as master of ceremonies on Friday for Pop2000, a touring package featuring some of the great boy bands of his era. The show is set for 7:30 p.m. at Ralston Arena. Focus had a chance to talk to Bass about some things that many know, and maybe a few that they don’t. Our Q & A follows. Focus: Describe the feeling you had when Justin Timberlake picked you up
Focus: How are your plans to buy the “Brady Bunch House” going? (Note: The iconic house featured in the iconic 1960s-70s TV series is one of the most visited sites in Hollywood and currently on the market).
Focus: Tell us a little bit about your surrogate plans to have a family with husband Michael Turchin. LB: We’re just finalizing who the egg donor is going to be. There are so many layers that you have to go through. I had no idea. There are so many people helping us and they’ve showed so much love. When people found out that we were having kids and that we talked about having kids it was scary. There’s a lot of hate there. It was very different than when I came out. I never felt so much hate until people started talking about how my unborn kids were an abomination. Focus: What does the future hold for Lance Bass? LB: Who knows! I have so many irons in the fire. Now that I’m having a family, I’m trying to find out what’s going to help me stay in L.A. I recently finished a film about Lou Perlman (The American record producer and fraudster who managed several 1990s boy bands including The Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. He died in 2016 while incarcerated for conspiracy and money laundering among other charges). In doing that I learned so much. From his childhood to his death. Just the way he ran his businesses. It will be a YouTube Premium documentary that will hopefully be out in October. We have several apps going out this year and several restaurants that we’re a part of through an investment group that I belong to.
LB: They’re going good. I put the offer in today. I think there will be a lot of offers because it got so much press. It was one of the first places I went when I moved to LA. I don’t want it to fall into Focus: Are you going to be performing? the hands of anyone that would tear it LB: I’m the Dick Clark of the show. I down. will most likely get on the stage and sing too.

Diary of a Changing World

A lava “bomb” from Hawaii’s erupting Kilauea volcano injured 23 people after the molten projectile crashed through the roof of a tour boat near where the lava was flowing into the sea. The boat was described as “covered in lava” after an explosion occurred in the molten rock.

Mosquitoes have returned for the summer season, and with the many diseases they can carry, it’s important for everyone to fight the bite. In fact, the CDC reports that the number of illnesses caused by mosquitoes tripled from 2004-2016. The Douglas County Health Department is using larvicide briquettes to kill mosquitoes in breeding ponds to prevent the spread of the West Nile virus and trapping to gauge the population of the mosquitoes that cause that disease as well as those that potentially carry the Zika virus. “We know the West Nile virus is established in Douglas County and more cases can be expected this year,” Health Director Dr. Adi Pour stated. “That’s why we treat the places where mosquitoes live and track their populations.” Using CDC funding, the Health Department traps mosquitoes every two weeks beginning Tuesday to check for population estimates and learn what species are active.

While some viruses can be spread to people who are bitten by mosquitoes, only a small percentage of mosquitoes carry a virus. In recent years, the number of West Nile virus cases in Douglas County has ranged from 69 in 2003 to a low of three cases in 2009 and 2015. In 2017 Douglas County reported seven cases of West Nile virus infection. Nebraska reported 68 cases with two deaths last year. Until next week, “Stay Healthy Omaha!”

tive shoulder and screaming guitars, by way of a novelist’s eye and an avid collector’s inclusion of all that inspires, DBT has managed to create something special, something built to last and a repertoire of songs uniquely able to both tap into something deeply personal and rock your face.
DBT: Dance Band of The Resistance By Jesse D Stanek The Drive-By Truckers (DBT) are more than just a Southern Rock Band. Both terms, “Southern” and “Rock” certainly apply to the 5-piece band originally out of Athens, GA, but neither serve justice to the iconic presence this ragtag group of mainstream misfits has morphed
into. Twenty-two years into a steam-engine of a story that shows no signs of slowing, the band has earned it’s place a top the pile of touring acts, fueled by superb songwriting, daring musicianship, a devoted legion of fans and a progressive consciousness, DBT has become “the dance band of the resistance.”
Much of the credit behind DBT’s success should be attributed to the rich, layered songwriting of both Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood. DBT’s songs teem with shady characters of a Gothic persuasion, stories of family wars, shifty eyed swindlers and ordinary everyday people becoming heroes just by doing the right thing, regardless of what side of the law that may fall on.

Rhythm Collective– Funky Heartland By Howard Schwartz The roots of Rhythm Collective were planted when Hong Kong native Frank Fong came to Nebraska to attend school at UNL. Or, maybe they formed when Joseph Mitchell, who is from Grenada, met his Iowa native wife on a cruise ship. “It’s a long story,” Fong chuckled. After attending college, he stayed to grow some roots and get to know some people from Omaha. The old Howard Street Tavern played a key role in connecting him to the local music scene. “Started to have a lot of fun. Still having fun playing,” he said. Fong, who plays bass and sings, said it was Mitchell, who sent the band in the direction of reggae and calypso. “He moved to the area (after meeting his wife) and started coming out to see the local bands,” Fong recalled. After hearing Mitchell sing, Fong, who also composes, made the suggestion to form a group. The band has been around about 16 years with a few lineup changes.
Fong and Mitchell have been on board since the beginning. They now are joined by Brent Vignery, a veteran drummer of more than two decades who spent much of that time in the Kansas City and Lawrence, Kansas, areas. He played with many top names including Devon Allman. Omaha native John Green fills out the band on lead guitar. He’s been listening to and playing reggae music for over 30 years and recently was in Soul “We have a good fan base,” Fong said. Plexus and the Bishops. “Anymore, we don’t have to ask anyone “We have different people playing with to nominate us.” us on and off,” Fong stated. Fong said it wasn’t hard for the band members to find each other after Rhythm Collective performs original hanging around the Omaha music reggae, ska and calypso tunes from their two albums and island standards scene. like the music of Bob Marley and You get to know almost everyone,” he Jimmy Cliff.

“Everyone seems to have a good time.” With a distinct sound and a steady following, Fong feels work remains in building their audience.

“Funny that there are still a lot of people . . . that have not heard of us,” Fong shrugged. “Most of the time once they hear us, they like us.” In addition to the dance grooves they lay down, Rhythm Collective also has three-part harmonies that make up their distinctive sound. “People have mentioned our sound is better than maybe a six-piece band
sometimes,” Fong offered. “I’m just telling you what people tell us.” What is apparent is a group of fans that wants the band to be part of their celebrations. That includes four boat cruises a year that sell out, including one on August 4. They play clubs and lots of parties, especially parties on the beach. On August 25, Rhythm Collective will perform at Dundee Day. “Music and food, you don’t need a specific language,” Fong emphasized. The band also has started a tradition of holding a Bob Marley party in February around the time of the late reggae legend’s birthday. Rhythm Collective has released two albums and Fong said they have the material for two more, but their performing schedule makes that difficult. “We just can’t find a stretch of time to go into the studio,” he pointed out. “It’s a good dilemma to have.’ The problem is expected to continue because the end is nowhere in sight. Music, Fong said, is an artistic pursuit that people of all ages can enjoy and participate in well beyond the time a person can do many other activities. “Keep on having fun,” Fong emphasized. “If you’re not having fun, why do it?” For more about Rhythm Collective: https://www.facebook.com/rcomaha/

U.S. securities with complete accuracy. For example, if a U.S. Treasury security purchased by a foreign resident is held in a custodial account in a third country, the true ownership of the security will not be reflected in the data. The custodial data will also not properly attribute U.S. Treasury securities managed by foreign private portfolio managers who invest on behalf of residents of other countries. In addition, foreign countries may hold dollars and other U.S. assets that are not captured in the TIC data. For these reasons, it is difficult to draw precise conclusions from TIC data about changes in the foreign holdings of U.S. financial assets by individual countries.
